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

"You should also learn from your sister. How can you know how expensive it is if you don't manage the household? Look at your sister, she's in charge of the accounts of the Duke's Mansion now. She works so hard. You should also learn how to save money!" After she finished speaking, she left without caring at all that Xu Yixing's face was blushing.

This is so embarrassing! When have I ever been so humble to ask for money? And I was rejected! And my father rejected me? Oh my god!

Siqin was also a little surprised. Following her, she didn't know whether to go forward or backward.

"Miss, is this what you call seeking benefits?" Isn't this just asking for money? Now that the Madam is the housekeeper, the Second Miss's behavior is tantamount to slapping the Madam in the face. What's more, the Master has always been indifferent to the Second Miss, so naturally he won't give her whatever she wants like the Eldest Miss does.

What happened to the Second Miss today? She was so reckless! Did she think that after the eldest lady got married, she would be the only daughter in the mansion, so she wanted to fight for her father's love? How foolish!

Xu Yixing didn't move from where she was. Although she knew that her father didn't love Xu Yiyan very much, the disappointment in her heart still overwhelmed her after seeing such an ruthless rejection. She didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind: "Sister, are you short of money?"

Xu Yixing turned around hurriedly so as not to let Xu Yiwen see his embarrassed look.

"I have some more here, you can take them first." Xu Yiwen said, taking out a purse from his belt and handing it over.

"Well... No thanks, brother. I was just joking with dad." After rejecting Xu Yiwen, he quickly left the place, returned to the room, took a gulp of herbal tea, and only then did he feel that his face was not so hot anymore.

"Miss, are you okay?"

Xu Yiwen shook his head vigorously. No, this is too bad. He was too reckless today. He overestimated his father's love for Yi Yan, which put him in an awkward situation. Dad is the same. They are both daughters. Can't he treat them equally?

"Siqin, I shouldn't have ignored your advice today. I shouldn't have gone to the main courtyard to cause trouble again. If I still have such foolish thoughts in the future, you must stop me."

Since I have chosen to live as Xu Yiyan, I must accept everything about her, even if it is unfair and bleak.

Xu Yixing knew that if he did such outrageous things a few more times, he would be in real trouble. Not to mention that his father didn't like him, the identity of the mistress of the Gu family would be enough to suppress him.

"Okay miss, I'm glad you can figure it out." Siqin had tears in her eyes. You've finally come to your senses!

Xu Yixing pondered for a while. He was far away from the fake eldest daughter of the Sun Mansion. As long as she didn't cause any trouble, it would be fine. He was thinking about how to get through the current predicament.

"Siqin, do you have any good friends or trustworthy people in our house? They should be smart ones. As for Mrs. Gu, she has been proud for a long time. We have to take care of her."

"Young lady, are you going to take action against Mrs. Gu? I have a little sister named Xiaohui, who is now helping her mother in the small kitchen. She is a good child."

"You know this matter is important, you must be trustworthy."

"Last year, when Xiao Hui Niang was seriously ill, you secretly asked the court doctor to see her. Have you forgotten? Now that she is well, she has been wanting to thank you!"

Ah? I'm so kind that I would treat a servant? Xu Yiyan was so ordinary herself, yet she still had the time to pity others. This really surprised her.

"Oh... I remember now, that's true. Well, do you know the wife that Mrs. Gu's youngest son married?"

Siqin thought for a while and nodded: "It's the bride I married a year ago, her last name is Cai, right? Why did the young lady ask her?"

"Yes, it's Cai. I remember that Gu asked her to work in our stables, specifically to take care of the precious horses that our family uses when going out. Is that right?"

"Yes, miss, you have a good memory."

"Go and ask Xiaohui to tell her that Madam Gu said that the stable expenses are too high and asked her to reduce the consumption of concentrated feed."

"that's it?"

"Correct."

Siqin hesitated again. What kind of a good idea was this? Even if the master found out that Ma was not well, he would only blame Cai and would not involve Gu. If Cai told Xiaohui what she said, she would be able to find out about it right away.

"Well...what if Cai goes to ask Mrs. Gu herself?"

"No." Others may not know, but Cai knows it very well. She hates her mother-in-law so much that she wishes she could go to heaven soon and will not say a word to her.

"Row."

"Oh, by the way, you go to the eldest lady's courtyard later, and don't let others find out. There is a box on the beam just above the guest table in her room, you take the things inside. Remember, don't touch the box, just take the things."

Siqin's hands were shaking, and she couldn't help feeling scared. Was the young lady asking her to steal the eldest lady's things?

"Hey, hey, hey, it's not stealing. My sister told me this morning. Otherwise, how would I know that there was something on her beam?"

Siqin breathed a sigh of relief. Although she did not go in when the young lady was talking at the Sun Mansion today, how could her young lady know so clearly if the eldest young lady had not allowed it.

"Yes, don't worry, I'll go right away."

After watching Siqin leave, Xu Yixing stood up and stretched her waist. She was too reckless today. Gu must have known that she asked her father for money and complained about not having enough money. As the mistress of the house, she naturally could not tolerate a daughter who complained behind her back.

I'm afraid that Gu's revenge will come soon, and I have to be prepared before that, otherwise no one will be able to help me.

As for Mrs. Gu, haha, it's not something that can be changed in a day or two. She has been following the Gu family as the housekeeper in the mansion for decades, and she has a network of trusted people in her hands. She is not someone who can be slaughtered.

Even if she really made some mistakes, as long as it was not something that would harm the reputation and interests of the Gu family, the Gu family would definitely protect her, and her father would probably let her go for the sake of the Gu family.

But by chance, I just happened to know that she had done something very wrong, but I didn't take it to heart before, but I didn't take her seriously at that time. Now that you dare to bully me, you can wait for death!

Xu Yixing sighed again. If she was still a young lady, she wouldn't need to go through all the trouble to do all these things. With just a little gesture, someone would be able to assassinate the old woman directly. That would be so satisfying!

Not long after, Siqin came back, her face was pale and she looked like she had been greatly frightened.

He slammed the door shut and ran over: "Miss! Do you know what's on the beam?"

"Banknotes."

This was a little secret between Bai Ma and herself. She had kept all her personal belongings that she didn't want anyone to know about since she was a child, and she put them all in a box on the beam. This time when she got married, she took all the belongings with her, but kept some of the money, because Bai Ma said that one must leave a way out for oneself.

Well, this back-up plan was really used.
