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

Chapter 40: Setting up a trap and proposing marriage

"That's the case, what's the matter?"

"Then why don't you just pick a good one and give it to him as a gift?"

Xu Yiwen's eyes lit up, but he soon showed his embarrassment. "After all, it's my sister's stuff. If she wants it back someday, that would be terrible. Taking it without asking is stealing, which is not right."

Silly brother, I, your sister, agree!

"You can't say that. After the accident, my sister never wrote home again. I went to see her several times but didn't see her. I guess my sister's mind is not on that. You can help her first, and then tell her when you have a chance. She won't blame you."

"Well... Yi Yan, thank you for your idea, but forget it. I'll just give him my saber, I'm sure he'll like it. You're right, I have to go, I'll leave first, otherwise it will be too rude!"

After Xu Yiwen finished speaking, he quickly walked towards his own yard, leaving Xu Yixing here to continue wandering around.

"Siqin, is the Gu family really short of money? Why can't they even allow this as a gift?"

"It seems so. The account office at home has been very active these days, as if something really went wrong. Even half of the maids in the young master's room were driven away. It's scary."

"Haha, how can they be so poor?" Gu has been running the mansion for twenty years, and her private property for twenty years as well. Even if her stores don't make any money in a year, they wouldn't be so poor. She's clearly taking advantage of the situation.

"You know the small warehouse behind the master's study, right? You should find a way to let Gu know that there are many gold and silver utensils in it that have not been used for many years."

"Ah? Those are..." Siqin looked around and confirmed that no one was around and continued, "Those are Madam Bai's things. If Madam knew about this, she would be scolded to death by the master for having such an idea."

"you know?"

Xu Yixing was very surprised. The things in there were her mother's things, all heavy and ugly gold and silver items, so her father didn't include them in the dowry. But only her father and herself should know about it, how could she know?

"You told me that. Have you forgotten?"

Xu Yiyan knew? How many things in this world were she doing secretly without telling him?

"Oh. Just go ahead and do it. She deserves to be scolded by her father. Go ahead."

Xu Yixing wanted to make Gu have an idea. It would be best if he could secretly sell the item. When his father finds out, he would not only kill Gu but also her!

Xu Yixing went back and practiced calligraphy quietly. These days, she imitated Yi Yan's handwriting when she had nothing to do, and occasionally thought of what the Seventh Prince said that day.

"Do Yiyan?"

It’s a pity that I am who I am and I can’t be a substitute for anyone else!

She knew that the Seventh Prince liked Yi Yan, but she couldn't pretend to marry him just because he liked her, right? This was unfair to both him and herself.

The path she chose might be dangerous, and she might even lose her life if she wasn't careful. But that was her choice, and she couldn't let herself live her life in confusion.

If you want to blame someone, blame Yi Yan for having a miserable life, and also blame you for not proposing to Yi Yan earlier, otherwise you would have already done what you wanted, what can I say?

It was late at night. After listening to Ying Jiu's report on the latest progress of Xu Housheng and Sun Ziyou's schedule, Xu Yixing fell asleep peacefully. Don't worry, there is still a long time to go. You have to clean your neck and wait for me to kill you.

December, the last month of the year, finally arrived. However, the weather was strange this year, and the first snow had not yet fallen. The emperor and his court officials were very worried.

Xu Yixing got up and put on her makeup. She didn’t care whether it snowed or not.

However, just as she had packed up and was ready to eat, Xu Qian from the front yard came to the door and told her to hurry over.

Xu came to call, it must be that his father wanted to see him for something, could it be that something happened in the Sun Mansion again? So he got up in a hurry, went to the front yard and entered the door, only to see Madam Jing, his father and Gu, talking and laughing.

When Mrs. Jing saw her, her eyes curved into a smile. Gu was also smiling, but her smile seemed a little bitter.

"Hello, Madam Jing, father and mother. I wonder why you are looking for me so anxiously?"

"Yan'er, come and sit here." Old Man Xu patted the stool next to Madam Jing and let herself over.

Xu Yixing sat down, feeling his heart pounding. Why did Madam Jing come?

"I told you before, I met you at the family dinner, but your father was worried and insisted on calling you over so that I could take another look!"

See? There's a flower on my face?

"Oh! After all, it's a matter of a lifetime, so of course I have to make you sure." Old Man Xu was very polite to Madam Jing, just like most of the court officials.

"It can't be wrong. I've calculated your birth date and horoscope. It's a perfect match for the one in our family!"

Eight characters... Where did your son come from? It can't be that one!

Xu Yixing didn't understand. Didn't he make it clear last time? He also promised not to bother him anymore. Did he think he could force her to marry him because he had evidence against her? Big liar!

"Dad, what are you talking about?"

Father Xu then raised his head and looked at her seriously: "Yan'er, Dad said that he would find a good marriage for you. Look around, who else can be the best man in Kyoto except the prince!"

Shit! There are seven other princes, why did you choose this one?

Xu Yixing pretended to be frightened and bowed quickly:

"Dad, are you talking about the Seventh Prince? Yi Yan would never dare to do that! The Seventh Prince is of noble status, how can I marry him? Besides, my sister just married the grandson of the Duke, and I married better than her. I'm afraid... it's disrespectful, please think twice!"

"What are you talking about? Would your sister be unhappy to see that you married well?" Old Man Xu really didn't buy it.

Xu Yixing could only look at Madam Jing, who loved her even more, and said, "Don't panic. Yuan'er said he liked you, and he's happy about it. What do you have to be afraid of? My dear, think about it. Our Yuan'er has good looks and family background, and there's nothing wrong with that."

I am afraid of good things! If the emperor thinks we have bad intentions, he will be fine, but our family will be in trouble!

"Dad, you are a military officer. How will you cope if I marry the prince?" Xu Yixing wanted to quickly wake up his father and tell him not to do anything stupid.

What a pity, it's useless.

"Why should I be so self-sufficient? You are worried about this. The eldest prince married the great-granddaughter of General Fenwei. What's the big deal?"

Hey, this sounds so familiar.

She finally understood that her father couldn't guess the emperor's intentions at all, or rather, he was too lazy to guess. You are really good!

Seeing this, Madam Jing also came to the rescue: "Haha, of course, this marriage must be made with the children's consent. Yiyan, I know you are shy, but Yuaner told me that you had a great chat that day."

Hmm? The day he almost strangled me to death? Let’s chat, okay?
