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

Gu was no longer able to hide the gazes of the ladies, so she could only bite the bullet and say, "Xiaoyan, what's wrong with your room? Why don't you tidy it up? And why don't you wear your clothes properly? You are so rude!"

As soon as Gu opened his mouth, he put all the blame on himself, as if he was so ignorant.

Xu Yixing also hurriedly stepped out of the door, bowed to everyone, and then explained: "Mother, I didn't know you and the ladies were coming today, my daughter is rude.

The room is like this because I thought that the things my mother sent yesterday were too valuable, and I was afraid that the girls would be impatient and break them, which would be troublesome, so I covered them up. "

This was actually the truth, but when it came out of her mouth, it didn't sound so good to the ladies.

The highest-ranking lady in the group, Princess Xu, the mistress of Prince Cheng's Mansion, stood at the head of the group. She was now watching with her eyes and nose, and she said nothing.

You're hosting a banquet today, but you sent something to your daughter yesterday? And your daughter was afraid of being punished if she broke something, so she blocked all those things. It's hard for Gu to be so attentive today and let everyone go to her little daughter's room to take a look, but we ended up seeing such a big joke. It's really funny.

Siqin suddenly stepped forward, bowed, and explained to the ladies, "Ladies, it is not my fault for being slow today. It is just that I was a little late copying Buddhist scriptures last night, so I am not very energetic today. Please forgive me, ladies."

Wow, adding fuel to the fire. Gu was completely embarrassed now. Although she didn't mention anyone by name, who would let the second young lady copy Buddhist scriptures in the middle of the night?

So Gu quickly spoke again: "Xiaoyan, you are too sincere. Although we are going to the temple to worship Buddha at the end of the month, your intention is good, but please don't overwork yourself!"

Well, she is saying that copying Buddhist scriptures was her own will.

"Yes, but I thought I should copy some more for you, mother, so that I can burn them in front of the Buddha to bless our family with peace."

"No, no, no! I can just copy it myself, don't worry about it."

Okay, that's what I want. "Yes, daughter, obey."

After this conversation, Xu Yixing had achieved his goal, so he just stood aside humbly without saying a word, waiting to hear what the ladies had to say.

Everyone is an expert in the affairs of the mansion, so how could they not know what such a scene meant? Therefore, although they did not say it on the surface, they despised such things in their hearts.

Everyone knows that the eldest daughter of the Xu family is like a treasure in the palm of General Xu's hand. Even after her marriage, he has to take care of her in every detail. He didn't expect that the youngest daughter would be in such a situation. How could Gu Shi keep her face?

It was the good-natured Mrs. Wang who came to the rescue. She asked everyone to go back and listen to the opera, and even asked Xu Yixing, who was standing at the door, to go with them.

Xu Yixing didn't like this kind of occasion, but since he could make Gu feel awkward, he was happy. So he sat happily among the guests, and from time to time he ordered the maids to add tea and water for the lady, and he was quite happy.

"Yi Yan, your sister is married now, and you are not much different from her. Have you found a place for your affairs?" This was the question asked by Madam Li from the General of Cavalry's family.

"Marriage is a major matter and is decided by parents. I dare not say anything irresponsible." Xu Yixing lowered his head and did not give a direct answer.

Mrs. Li nodded and said, "Yes, that's right, it's in accordance with the rules."

"You have no one to keep you company at home, so why don't you come to my house when you have time? Your sister used to love coming here." This was an invitation from Mrs. Feng, the wife of the Minister of War.

"Yes, when mother passes away, she will take me with her." Who would be willing to go to your house? In the past, it was your daughters who insisted on pestering me, so I didn't like to go.

Mrs. Feng had a smile on her face. In the past, everyone only paid attention to Miss Xu. She was bright and flamboyant, and among the many noble ladies in the capital, no one could outshine her.

But in the eyes of some people, this limelight seems a bit too dazzling. Now it seems that her sister is not bad...

The ladies present had their own thoughts in their hearts. Some secretly laughed at Gu Shuang for not being able to control a concubine's daughter; some sympathized with Xu Yiyan's situation; and some secretly shook their heads and thought that the Second Miss Xu was too smart. After all, she was the face of the Xu family, and it was not very sensible of her to embarrass her stepmother like this.

Xu Yixing doesn't care about all that. If anyone makes her feel uncomfortable, she will fight back. It's that simple.

Dad said, if someone punches you, you should punch him back. If someone kicks you, you should kick him back. If that person provokes you again and again, you don't have to spare his life.

Now, it's just that Gu's family has been embarrassed a little bit, that's not the end of the matter.

There was a person on the field. She did not approach Xu Yixing, but just sat at the farthest end of the guest table, looking at Xu Yixing calmly.

Madam Jing was happy in her heart. This child was not bad. She was born out of wedlock, so she would not behave like a legitimate daughter. She had suffered and was not too fragile. She was also gentle. If she was given to that person, it would not be bad. This trip today was worth it!

Fortunately, Xu Yixing did not use his mind-reading skills, otherwise if she knew that Mrs. Jing evaluated her in this way, she would probably laugh out loud.

After the banquet, Xu Yixing followed Gu to see off the guests one by one. The two of them held hands, and to anyone who saw them, they looked like a close mother and daughter.

Even after seeing off the last guest, Gu still held Xu Yixing's hand. The moment she turned around and entered the house, the smile on her face disappeared immediately. Before she even walked into the room, Gu almost gritted her teeth and said:

"Xiaoyan, you're fine."

Xu Yixing seemed to be unaware and replied, "Thank you for the compliment, mother. This is what I should do."

"Do you think I can do nothing to you? Instead of reciting the Buddhist sutra a hundred times, recite it two hundred times!"

"Eh? But didn't mother say that she didn't need me to copy Buddhist scriptures for her?"

"Indeed, you don't need to copy it for me. You copied it 200 times for yourself. It has nothing to do with me. When you burn incense on the day, the Bodhisattva will see that it is your merit."

Gu had recovered, let go of Xu Yixing, and spoke less stiffly.

Yes, I asked you to copy, do you dare not copy?

"Yes." Xu Yixing had no objection. Since he had to copy scriptures when he went to worship in the temple, he could just not go when the day came. Only someone would copy them two hundred times.

Seeing that she agreed so readily, Gu was a little surprised. Could it be that her suspicion was wrong, and this girl didn't mean to embarrass herself, but covered it up because she really thought the thing was valuable?

"Mother, why don't you take those things back? I always feel uneasy leaving them with me."

"Why do you think so?"

"It's too expensive. My parents and brother's rooms don't even have that many expensive things. I don't dare to use it. Please take it back, mother."

Gu Shuang looked puzzled, but she still said, "What's given to you is yours, don't worry."
