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

Xu Yixing was a little shocked. Even in this situation, Sun Ziyou still maintained the politeness of a nobleman. He said thanks and paid attention to his table manners.

Xu Yixing lowered his head and raised it again, shaking off the distraction he had just experienced.

"There's no poison in it. Don't worry, I'm not here to kill you." This is the truth, at least not this time.

"Even if it's poisonous, I don't blame you. I killed your sister and her nanny. I accept whatever revenge your Xu family takes."

Is that so? So Sun Ziyou did not hide his murder at all, but why did he not say a word during the interrogation?

"And my face. This is Gao Yao, you should know her. The body double bribed someone to do it. I don't blame her. I destroyed her face. This is retribution. By the way, how is she doing? Based on my understanding of your father, he shouldn't embarrass her, right?"

Sun Ziyou was very surprised. He never said a word in front of others, but when he met Xu Yixing today, he started talking a lot.

"She's fine. The emperor didn't punish her, and my father didn't make things difficult for her. I heard that she took a sum of money from your house and left with her family."

"Yes." Sun Ziyou was not surprised at all when he heard Gao Yao's current situation. "She is a smart person. If she hadn't entrusted herself to the wrong person, she wouldn't have ended up like this."

This sounds like a criticism of himself. It seems that Sun Ziyou has a very comprehensive and profound understanding of his behavior.

"You have no objection to the charges of murdering my sister, causing the death of Aunt Bai, and keeping a mistress to impersonate her?"

Sun Ziyou shook his head.

It was strange, as if he always told Xu Yiyan everything he knew. If Xu Yixing had not inherited Yiyan's memory, he would definitely doubt whether Yiyan had ever had anything with him.

"But why? I remember you and my sister were very good friends!" Xu Yixing raised her voice in the latter part of the sentence. This question had troubled her for too long. Since Sun Ziyou had no regrets about the current result, why did he hurt her in the first place?

"Xu Yiyan, go back. I have nothing to say to you." Sun Ziyou ordered him to leave. He didn't want to recall the past.

Of course Xu Yixing would not leave. If she couldn't find out the answer today, she might never have the chance to know in her life.

After thinking for a while, she spoke carefully: "In fact, my sister was very happy in those two years. Those were almost the happiest two years for her. I often saw you taking her to go horseback riding, hunting, listening to music and watching plays. People around you also said that you two were a good match. Really, I envy you two."

What Xu Yixing said was exactly what Yi Yan was thinking. During those two years, Yi Yan was indeed envious of her sister for being able to get such a good marriage.

"There's no need to talk about the past." Sun Ziyou was very calm. He backed away to the wall. Perhaps the iron chain made him feel uncomfortable.

"When my sister got married, she brought a generous dowry, which included some from my father and some from her mother. But when we checked it later, we found that a lot was missing."

"That was not my idea. There are many branches in the mansion, and the expenses are huge. Even if I am extremely reluctant, I cannot resist my parents' orders."

Xu Yixing understood that the bloated population of the Sun Mansion had already caused a huge burden, but the younger generations had no real power, and their expenses were high and their income was low, so it was inevitable that they would embezzle her dowry.

"So you married my sister for those yellow and white things?" How is this possible? Xu Yixing was trying to find a way to get the question out of him.

"Yes."

?

Xu Yixing leaned forward and pressed against the cell door. She didn't believe it.

Fortunately, Sun Ziyou quickly replied, "No." After a long while, there was no movement on either side. Xu Yixing's feet were almost numb from sitting, and then he heard the clanking sound of chains and a very slight sigh from inside.

"Your family is indeed the one that offers the most generous dowry among all the girls I can marry. This is also what my parents and grandmother wanted."

Xu Yixing went over the meaning of this sentence in his mind. At that time, the marriage proposal must have been made after many comparisons, which led to the Sun family finally deciding on his Xu family. It turned out to be because of money, ha! How ridiculous!

"So you don't like my sister." Xu Yixing felt that he had already got the answer. He felt disheartened and his voice became a little colder.

"Yes, I like it very much. I have liked it since I was a child."

"Ah?" What's going on? He liked her three times in a row, which made Xu Yixing's originally clear mind confused again. Since you like her, you can discuss it with me. I may not be unwilling to spend my dowry on you.

"Your sister is very outstanding. As her sister, you can understand what I mean. But she looks down on me. What can I do?"

"Nonsense! If she really didn't like you, why would she marry you!" Xu Yixing felt really wronged. He waited and expected for two years. At that time, he was obviously full of love for her, so how could she look down on him?

"You don't understand. She is willing to marry me only because your Xu family wants a son-in-law who can be controlled. If I hadn't returned from the army and gained a little reputation, how could she be willing to marry a second-generation rich man like me? Ha!"

What nonsense! This has nothing to do with whether you join the army or not.

The conversation started. Maybe he had been holding it in for too long, or maybe Xu Yixing was too persistent, or maybe Sun Ziyou still felt a little guilty, so he finally spoke out.

"Your sister and I played together when we were little. She was always mean and never treated me well. She said she wanted to train me and hone me, and asked me to compete with that group of people. She was happy to do it even if it was very tiring. But later I realized that it was not training, but bullying!

I will never forget the look in her eyes when she looked at me, full of malice and disdain. Why would a little kid have such emotions in his eyes? I don’t understand, I really don’t understand.”

Sun Ziyou shook his head as he spoke, but they were a little far away, so Xu Yixing couldn't see his expression clearly.

It turns out that the bullying was true... But why did Lu Anyuan say it didn't happen and even swear on his mother's name?

"But... we were just kids then, and later..."

"Later, my father sent me to the military camp. After I came back, she thought I had forgotten those things, so she greeted me with a smile. When I asked her about the past, she would pretend to be stupid and say she didn't remember.

How could she forget all the harm she did to me! It was clearly a lie! Did she think I was still helpless and foolish like when I was a kid? "

I really forgot...

"Xu Yiyan, don't think that the marriage your father found for you is so good. Just like your sister, your father knew about her past with me, and knew that her dowry would be lost sooner or later, but he still sent her all those things. Isn't this just feeding fat meat to a tiger?"
