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

After a night of tossing and turning, Xu Yixing returned to the mansion with red eyes and was almost discovered. Fortunately, the shadow guards were all around him, and he barely avoided the servants who got up early.

Xu Yixing dragged his tired body to the ancestral hall and picked out one of the three copies of the confession and burned it to ashes.

"Mother, two aunts, this is the truth of what happened back then. I have punished the real murderer, and I have avenged you all. But mother, I really don't know how to face father. Lu Anyuan is unreliable, and father is even more unreliable. What should I do?"

"You died tragically, but who knows if it wasn't because you trusted the wrong person? Now I absolutely cannot follow your old path. Please forgive me for not being able to bring honor to our family, and even for not being able to bring the culprit who killed you to justice. I'm sorry, mother."

With no outsiders around, Xu Yixing muttered to herself in front of Bai's tablet. After all, she couldn't tell anyone else about these things.

Now that she has decided to break off the engagement with Lu Anyuan, whether this matter succeeds or not, the Xu family will bear the brunt. At that time, will Dad still be able to protect her? Or will Dad give up on her simply like he did before?

There are wolves in front and tigers behind. If you advance, you will die, but if you retreat, you will perish. Why did things develop into this state?

"Forget it. If fate cares for me, it will naturally leave a way for me to survive. If fate doesn't care for me, it will be in vain." Xu Yixing respectfully inserted three incense sticks into the incense burner. She still believed in her heart that God would not treat her badly.

After all, coming back to life and being able to take over the life-saving artifacts left by his grandfather intact is a luck that not everyone has.

Xu Yixing wanted to say something else, but Si Wen's inappropriate greeting came from outside the door: "Greetings to the Madam, good luck to the Madam!"

Si Wen's voice was very loud, and it was obvious that he was reminding Xu Yixing who was inside the door.

Xu Yixing looked at his clothes, quickly threw the black cloak and mourning cloth strips onto the beam, and handed them to Yingjiu. He knelt on the mat, full of doubts: It was just dawn, what was the Gu family doing in the ancestral hall?

Gu outside the door was even more confused than Xu Yixing. Why was Si Wen at the door of the ancestral hall so early in the morning? Who was she guarding for?

"Mian, why are you here? Is there anyone inside?"

Si Wen walked down the steps quickly and replied with his head down, "Madam, the second young lady is praying inside, I am waiting here."

"Pray for blessings?" Gu walked up the steps and pushed open the door. Sure enough, she saw her second daughter kneeling in front of the hall. She didn't know how long she had been there.

Xu Yixing heard the noise and pretended to have just noticed it. He turned around and asked, "Why is mother here so early in the morning?"

Gu took two steps forward, looked at the ashes in the copper basin on the ground and the incense that had not burned for too long, and his heart moved:

This morning, I heard Huizhi talking about Grandma He. According to rumors, her hair turned white overnight, and her seven souls and six spirits might have been lost. She came to the ancestral hall for this matter. Could it be that the second daughter came for the same thing?

"Xiao Yan, why are you here so early in the morning? And what's burning in this?"

Xu Yixing stood up and said, "Mother, I had a lot of dreams last night. It seems that I dreamed of several ladies and concubines. But when I woke up, I couldn't remember anything. I thought that I should come and pay my respects. Maybe it would make me feel better."

Gu felt a chill down her spine when she heard this. Could it be that Liu really had sent a message to her daughter in her dream?

In fact, Gu Shi was not very clear about what Mrs. Gu did, but she had some idea in her mind. Master and servant, they have maintained such a tacit understanding for many years. I will not ask you where you are, and you don't have to tell me. Anyway, it's enough to achieve the goal.

When she heard this morning that Grandma He had an accident, the first thing Gu thought of was to come to the ancestral hall to burn incense, not for the purpose of paying tribute, but simply because she was a little scared.

Mrs. Gu is dead, and all the things she did have disappeared. Mrs. Gu just came here to seek peace of mind.

"Inside this basin are some Buddhist scriptures that I copied earlier. I brought them here specially to burn." Xu Yixing also explained about the paper ashes.

Gu did not comment, but just looked at Xu Yixing's bloodshot eyes, and then looked at her wrinkled clothes. It seemed that she did not sleep well last night.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaoyan. Now that you have already burned the incense, go back quickly. Your mother is in heaven and will surely sense your filial piety and will not disturb you anymore."

"Yes, my daughter is resigning."

Although Xu Yixing didn't know if his words could deceive Gu, as long as she let him go right now, he would never change his words. No matter who asked, it was because Aunt Liu had come to burn incense so early in the morning.

Gu Shuang watched her second daughter disappear into the backyard, bit her lip, and asked Hui Zhi beside her: "Tell me, is the second young lady hiding any secrets from us?"

Although Huizhi is not as ambitious as Huixiang, she is very good at reading people's faces. Upon hearing this, she immediately added fuel to the fire: "I think so too. The second young lady runs out of the mansion every day. I don't know what she is doing, and the master doesn't care. Madam, should we let the second young lady stay at home and prepare for her marriage?"

Gu Shuang shook her head. Over the past year, she had discovered that her second daughter was not so easy to control. She was almost always involved in the previous losses. She was no longer a little sparrow that could be trapped by copying Buddhist scriptures.

"Go tell Hui Ting to have everyone at the door keep an eye on the Second Miss to see if she sneaks out."

After saying this, he squatted down and carefully turned over the ashes in the copper basin. Unfortunately, it was burned too thoroughly and there was no trace of words. He could only believe that this was a Buddhist scripture.

Xu Yixing returned to his room, changed his clothes, washed his face, and prepared to go to bed. But before he lay down, Ying Jiu suddenly appeared again:

"Master, after you left, Gu said that he would have the guards on the gate keep an eye on your whereabouts, and he also turned over the confession we burned."

"Huh? She found out that we have a problem. She's quite smart."

Xu Yixing smiled. What if he found out? This kind of thing is like having an affair. It only counts if they are caught in bed. What's the point of doubting?

"What about us?"

"You guys, just continue to stay with me. I won't be going out recently."

Yingjiu said goodbye and left. Xu Yixing made the excuse that he didn't sleep well and closed the door to block Siqin Sihua's gaze.

That's right, she really didn't plan to go out recently. Once she went out, she would be targeted by Gu's family and would run into Lu Anyuan. She didn't want to mess with either of them now. But at most until the Mid-Autumn Festival, when even if she wanted to pretend to be dead, her father would definitely let her go out to attend the party.

When that time comes, that will be the day when Yingba will show his skills and lead him out of the sea of ​​suffering.

Everything was going according to plan, there was nothing to be afraid of. She patted her chest and soothed herself to sleep.
