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

After Xu Yixing and his father had spoken, the father and daughter tacitly went about their own business, and no one pursued what happened at the Sun Mansion that day.

Sun Ziyou couldn't find the two nails and was terrified. He made an excuse to come to Xu's house, but Xu Yixing said he was sick and did not meet him.

Xu Yixing was busy learning various etiquettes every day, preparing for the future canonization ceremony of the prince's wife. Old man Xu was also in the mansion one day and absent the next day. No one knew what he was busy with.

The New Year passed quickly, and Gu Shuang received the news on the seventh day that Nanny Gu had died. She was suspicious and wanted to find someone to perform an autopsy, but was stopped by Jingzhao Prefecture.

Nonsense, the person died on the first day of the new year and was dragged out and thrown away long ago, so where would the body come from?

No matter how many doubts Gu had, she could only swallow them. Besides, Gu was not a nostalgic person. She thought that Nanny Gu was unfaithful to her and was just sad for a few days, so she quickly asked the borrowed teacher to check each store according to Nanny Gu's account book.

The more she investigated, the angrier she got. She had originally thought that Mrs. Gu was just greedy for some of the money that leaked out of her hands, but she had never expected that she had falsified the accounts and swallowed up at least 30% of her money!

Gu was so angry that she was fuming. She had used up all her last bit of kindness and secretly sent someone to take back all the money and land from Gu's children.

Who would have thought that Mrs. Gu had already prepared everything, and she did not have any assets in her name. Her children had escaped from slavery long ago and were not slaves of the Gu family at all. Naturally, Mrs. Gu had no way of taking away the things in their names.

Of course, when several people got the news, they sold their assets as quickly as possible and fled the capital. Gu was out of reach and could only smash two precious porcelain bottles to vent her anger. After all, she fell into the trap dug by Gu Mama.

Xu Yixing listened to Yingjiu's reports every night, calculating the number of times and amounts of things Huixiang stole, and also calculating when his father would probably get angry and when he would lose his patience and kill Gu Shuang.

Xu Yixing had no doubt that his father had feelings for Gu Shuang.

Just like he treated his mother Bai, Yi Yan's mother Liu, and Yi Wen's mother He, Dad liked each of them equally, but also cared about each of them equally.

Xu Yixing never understood why. Could it be that all men in the world were like this, liking the new and disliking the old, and weighing the pros and cons? Then what would it be like for her to marry into the Seventh Prince's mansion?

Madam Jing had been to the Xu residence several times. Every time she saw her father, his smile became more sincere. It was not until the last time when the wedding date was finally agreed upon that her father finally breathed a sigh of relief and no longer had any worries.

"September 15th... Why does this date sound so familiar?" Xu Yixing was copying Buddhist scriptures while chatting with Siqin. This time it was not a punishment, but Xu Yixing felt uneasy and took it out to copy.

Ever since I had Yi Yan's memory, even my handwriting has become much more similar, and I don't need to imitate him deliberately anymore.

"Of course I'm familiar with it. This was the day when the eldest lady got married last year! It shows that the master loves you very much and is not partial to you at all." Siqin smiled and exuded the aura of a mother. Xu Yixing felt that she was the second Nanny Bai.

"'Also' love me? Don't you think there's anything wrong with your choice of words? Besides, the process for a prince to marry takes at least one year, and I've only been married for nine months. It's totally against the rules."

Xu Yixing even felt that if there were no rules blocking her, her father would have let her ride in a sedan chair to the Seventh Prince's Mansion that night. After all, the sooner she married Lu Anyuan, the sooner her father would feel at ease.

"Well... isn't it because the Seventh Prince is already twenty years old that His Majesty is worried?"

"No matter how anxious he is, it's only three months away. How can he be so impatient?"

"Oh! Miss has been in a bad mood recently. It's only been three months. Is it worth it for you to be so angry? We don't have to worry about anything. We just need to wait for the master and the mistress to make arrangements."

Xu Yixing was silent, and the handwriting he copied became uglier and uglier. The dowry that my father brought me was absolutely generous. Now that I am marrying the prince, I don't know if my father has the financial resources to buy it again. Don't let Lu Anyuan look down on my family.

"Siqin, harness the horses. I'm going to Jingxi Temple." Throwing the pen away, Xu Yixing decided to go out for a walk.

This time, they still took a small carriage and sneaked out of the north gate and drove all the way to the mountain. Xu Yixing asked Siqin to burn sutras in front of the Buddha for him, and then sneaked into the underground palace and met Ying Si.

"Why is the Second Miss here? What do you want?"

"Nothing, kid. I asked you to find the body of my sister Yixing. What happened to her?"

Ying Si was very unhappy that Xu Yixing called him that, but he didn't express any opinion.

"We have explored the Sun Mansion many times, but have not found any dungeons. This Yingjiu should have replied to you. Are there any new clues?"

"It's true," Xu Yixing took an apple from the altar, wiped it with his sleeve and ate it, not at all bothered by the unknown origin. "We guessed that it was in a dungeon in the manor of the Sun Mansion. I wonder if you can check it out?"

Ying Si frowned: "It's not a good habit to eat randomly like this."

"I want you to manage."

"If we can determine which village it is, we can go and search. Otherwise, we don't have enough manpower and can't carry out the operation at all."

"If I were sure, would I still come to you? I would just lead the Royal Guards to search your house, ha!"

"Second Miss is going to be the prince's consort, so what's wrong with that?"

The sarcasm was that Ying Si was definitely biased about this matter. "The prince's consort must also abide by the law, otherwise if the emperor gets angry, hundreds of people will be implicated. Ying Si, don't you want me to be the prince's consort?"

"That's not the case. I just don't want to be called a pervert for watching live pornography."

Ying Jiu! Humph, this traitor! He actually told them all this!

Xu Yixing's eyes were wide open and she was about to curse, but suddenly she felt a sharp pain in her stomach and bent over in pain.

"Ouch... help me..."

Ying Si saw that she was in pain, but he didn't bother to help her. He just smiled and said, "I told you that your habit of eating casually is not good."

"What?" Xu Yixing threw away the half apple in his hand. Oh no, he was ambushed!

"Don't worry, it's not fatal, it just hurts."

These words... Hey! Xu Yixing suddenly remembered this familiar feeling. Isn't this the poisoned wine that his grandson You gave him?

As soon as this thought came to her mind, the pain in her body seemed to be much less. She straightened up and said, "This is just painful but not fatal? Then is there any poison that can make people feel very painful and then slowly die?"

Ying Si was very surprised, not because of the medicine she said, but because she was surprised that the pain disappeared after a while. That was not right. Was the amount used in the experiment too small? How could she know that Xu Yixing was just winning a spiritual victory? In fact, her stomach still hurt a lot.
