Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

Ignoring Si Wen's puzzled look, Xu Yixing turned his gaze to the window. Zhuangzi was really beautiful, with large tracts of flat fields that connected together to the end of the sky. It was really beautiful.

This kind of beauty even made Xu Yixing want to go to the field and swing the hoe a few times. Of course, only twice. She would probably start cursing from the third time.

"Si Wen, have you been doing well in the outer courtyard these days?"

"Everything is fine. Everyone is considerate of your face and is very polite to me. In addition, someone is helping to sort out the store accounts, so I don't have to worry about it."

Now Si Wen was not kept in the room to do any servant work, but was wholeheartedly helping her take care of the dowry. What Xu Yixing wanted was far more than a maid or a nanny. She hoped that Si Wen could be a real agent who could rival the business.

However, as to whether it can be done, it depends on whether Si Wen has the ability.

"Okay, if you work hard, you will be the number one female agent of Daxia in the future. By then, there will be many people in various mansions begging you for help!"

"Haha, thanks for your good words, I will work hard~"

Xu Yixing did not go to the farm where the Gu family lived, but went to a nearby village. After all, that village was not his own property, so he was not afraid of exposing his identity.

She stayed overnight in the village as a passer-by, and waited until the middle of the night when everyone was almost asleep. Then she took Si Wen and the shadow guard and headed straight for Gu's place.

When she arrived at the Gu family's residence discovered by the shadow guard, she couldn't help but be surprised.

"That's it?"

"Yes, that's it."

Xu Yixing frowned and squinted, he really couldn't believe it.

I thought my father would give Gu a separate yard and have someone special to guard and serve it. However, this thing that could barely be called a house was clearly behind the pigpen. It was smelly and dirty, and there was no one guarding it. It was just locked from the outside.

"No one is watching?"

"Every day at noon, farmers deliver a meal to us, but there is no one at other times."

"Then I'll interrogate them later. Will that wake everyone up?"

"No, I put some medicine in the village well this afternoon. Didn't you hear that the dog stopped barking?"

Xu Yixing looked down at the man who was only half his height and was really frightened. Was this considered a mass poisoning?

But their combination was even more terrifying, two women in black cloaks, with a child, standing behind the pigsty and whispering.

"My father is so cruel."

"She brought this upon herself. When she first came here, she was given a large courtyard to live in, but she tried to commit suicide the whole time and even beat up the villagers who were guarding her and ran away. Now, she has been moved here."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Xu Yixing walked to the door with confidence, asked Ying Si to pry open the lock, and then he walked in alone.

There were no lights on inside. Of course, the house was too small, and the moonlight outside was enough to illuminate the room.

As soon as Xu Yixing entered and looked at the bed, she met a pair of eyes glowing green. She was so scared that she almost thought it was a wolf. But when she calmed down and looked again, she realized it was not a wolf, but her good stepmother.

At this moment, he was staring at him with resentment, without saying a word.

Eh? Why is Gu Shuang here so late and not sleeping? Could it be that she heard the conversation outside the door just now?

"Why are you not sleeping so late at night?"

"Why are you here so late at night?"

Gu's words were sharp, and she didn't look as miserable as she appeared on the outside. It seemed that she had not suffered any torture.

Xu Yixing checked her condition and saw that both of her feet were locked with iron chains and fixed to the head of the bed. The only place she could move was on the bed. No wonder she didn't pounce on him and kill him just now.

After determining the safe range, Xu Yixing sat on the only chair in the room and moved it close to the door so that he could run away in time if anything unexpected happened.

"It was your father who asked you to come, right?" Gu couldn't hold back her anger and asked first. She didn't believe that the villagers dared to do this to her. It must be the general's order!

"If you say it is, then it is." Xu Yixing was here to attack his heart again. Even if he said it was not, Gu would not believe it.

"Humph! You are as cunning as your mother. You only know how to act innocent and ignorant, pretending to be weak and timid just to please the master!"

"You're the same, aren't you? You've been pretending to be a good wife and mother for so many years, but secretly you almost hate the three of us, right?"

Gu turned her head away, not wanting to meet her gaze. When she saw her, she remembered Liu's charming look. Fortunately, the nanny had her sterilized first, otherwise she would have killed that bitch sooner or later!

"Your father is such a fool. He was fooled by you. He thought you were forbearing for the sake of the overall situation. Bah! You can fool him, but don't think you can fool me!"

"Oh? Is this how my father sees me? Then he is really blind." Xu Yixing smiled secretly in his heart. He didn't expect that his father would be so gullible.

Gu was a little confused. Could it be that her second daughter didn't know? No, she couldn't be fooled. She must have come here with a trick today. She must have come to ask about Liu's death. She couldn't admit it no matter what.

So she kept silent and buried her head in her knees. She heard the conversation outside the door clearly. Xu Yiyan did not come alone today. Maybe he was from the government. No matter what she asked, she could not fall into it.

"Gu Shuang, I actually really want to know how you got married into my family?"

Hey, why didn’t she ask Liu? Is this some new trick?

"I know that after Madam Bai died, the family has not been peaceful. Several concubines fought for favor and almost caused a death. Dad went to the brothels every day and ignored family affairs. How could you be willing to marry into such a family?"

Gu Shuang raised her head and said stubbornly, "I am willing!"

"Well, I think you must have met my father in advance and have already been moved. Otherwise, most people would definitely not be willing to become a second wife after hearing about such a family."

Gu did not comment, but was silently puzzled in his heart. He was able to guess what happened that day just by guessing. This Xu Yiyan really has some tricks up his sleeve.

“Dad is not from the capital, and he was called back to the capital by the emperor only after he confirmed his marriage with the Bai family, so I guess it was when he first arrived in the capital, or after he married Madam Bai;

You must be feeling miserable, because the man you like is married, and you can't possibly be his concubine. You must feel that there is no chance for you and my father to be together."

Xu Yixing continued to talk about her guess, whether it was right or not was not important.

"But then Mrs. Bai died. You must have been so happy, right?"

Gu Shuang smiled but said nothing. Of course she was happy, but this kind of happiness was not gloating. After all, Bai's death had nothing to do with her. It was all God's will.
