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

Therefore, she stopped trying to please him or anything, stretched her stiff body, and spoke slowly:

"The master treated me very well. I became the mistress of the house when I entered the family. Over the past ten years, even though I have not been able to bring forth a son or daughter to the Xu family, the master has never taken in any other concubines."

"Yes, you just walked in and faced two concubines who were about to give birth. You had no experience and were very anxious. If it weren't for Nanny Gu's help, you must have been in a difficult situation."

This remark just hit Gu's heart. When she married the master, her father was very happy, but her mother was not very happy. Because everyone knew that the general's wife had passed away not long ago, and there were both concubines and young children in the courtyard. Her mother didn't want her to get involved in this mess.

But she couldn't help herself. When she first met the young general on the street, she was moved. It was a pity that he later married the daughter of the Bai family. She cried for a long time because of this.

God have mercy on me! Fortunately, God let Mrs. Bai pass away not long after, which gave me the opportunity to marry into the Xu family.

"Even though I have encountered difficulties over the years, I can always remember that my husband promised to live up to his promise when he married me into the mansion. It has been a long time since then."

When talking about the past, a hint of immaturity actually appeared on Old Man Xu's face, as if the promise was made just yesterday.

"Haha, yes, you were much younger than me. At that time, I saw you didn't know anything, but you still refused to admit it. I loved your stubbornness."

Gu smiled, recalling the past in her mind, and even her face became a lot redder. But she also knew that the master must not come to her today to reminisce about the past. These were just preludes and she should not indulge in them.

As expected, I only heard Father Xu change the subject: "So what are you not satisfied with? Liu is just a criminal slave. Even if she can give birth to ten sons, her status will not be higher than yours. And He, she was born in poverty and was sold into our family. What are you afraid of?"

Gu turned around and faced Old Man Xu: "My husband, if I say that I didn't know about what Nanny did, would you believe it?"

Old Man Xu snorted heavily and then asked:

"So did you not know it at the time, or did you never know it? It would be fine if you never knew it, but why didn't you tell me when you found out later? You knew I wouldn't punish you severely, and at most I would just punish Mrs. Gu, so why can't you turn around!"

"Mammy is my confidant. She has been helping the Xu family all these years. But when she was in trouble, you were unwilling to save her. How can I tell you this with confidence?"

"Is she running around for the Xu family, or for you, Gu Shuang?" Old Man Xu was also angry. He felt unhappy whenever Mrs. Gu was mentioned.

Hearing this, Gu laughed at herself and said, "After all, she and I have the same surname, Gu, unlike you who both have the surname Xu. You are the family."

Old Man Xu turned his head away, unwilling to look at this woman again. The only sounds in the room were the breathing of two people at different frequencies, accompanied by the flickering light of a small candle.

"Your parents came this morning. They were very concerned about you."

"Yes." Although Gu didn't know what her parents said to her husband, she knew it must be for her own good.

"Wen'er left in the afternoon and enrolled in Wansong Academy in advance."

"Yeah." This voice was a little higher in pitch than the previous one. She saw Xu Yiwen hitting her with her own eyes. If they didn't separate quickly, she would not be able to face Xu Yiwen again.

"Yan'er hasn't come back yet, and she didn't even send anyone to ask."

"Huh?" Gu was a little confused. That little bitch Xu Yiyan was the most difficult to deal with on weekdays. She had been making things difficult for her this past year. Now that she was married and had someone to back her up, it was a good time to bring charges against her. Why hadn't she come to inquire about the matter?

"In the end, Yan'er is sensible. She knew about the strangeness of Liu's death a long time ago and told me that it was your good nanny who deliberately dragged her to death. Today, this matter has caused a lot of uproar, but she did not go home to cause trouble. After all, she is sensible."

"How could she know?" Gu knew that there was no need to hide those things from the master at this time, because the master would definitely stand on her side.

"Don't forget, Yan'er was already eight years old when Liu died. She has always remembered eight years old!"

"What?" A flash of lightning flashed through Gu's mind. It seemed that the things that she couldn't figure out before, and the people behind them, now had concrete candidates. "Master, do you think the things that happened to Madam Gu, Cai, and Huixiang before are all related to Xu Yiyan? You say..."

"Enough!" Old Man Xu roared, extremely dissatisfied: "It has come to this, and you still doubt Yan'er's intentions? I tell you, she is the one who cares about the overall situation the most in the whole family! If it weren't for her consideration of the overall situation, she would have brought people to the mansion to strangle you to death!"

Old Man Xu almost gritted his teeth when he said this. During this year, he gradually got to know his second daughter. She was smart and quick-witted, patient, and able to take the overall situation into consideration. Old Man Xu even thought, how great it would be if she was also born in Madam Bai's womb.

"Even if she was the one who schemed against your nanny, so what? A vicious person like her should have died long ago! Even if she was the one who schemed against you to lose your power as an official, so what? Was it also she who ordered Huixiang to steal things and asked you to break Cai's leg?"

Gu was stunned. It turned out that the master knew everything. The master knew everything she had done, but he just kept it to himself. This... made her feel embarrassed.

Old Man Xu stood up and pointed at Gu's face: "You know all the things you did. If I didn't know that you have feelings for me and work hard to run the Xu family, I would have kicked you out of the house long ago!"

Gu completely lost her guard, tears burst out like a flood, and she cried loudly, crying out all the grievances and hardships of these years.

Old Man Xu was not in a hurry. He sat back in his original seat and listened without saying a word.

It was not until Gu finally ran out of energy and stopped that her father told her his final decision: "Don't blame me. I must give Wen'er and Yan'er an explanation for this matter. If I don't handle it well, the Xu family will be torn apart."

Gu's eyes were red and swollen, and she tightly grasped the armrest of the stool, which was her favorite mahogany handle.

"How about this, you know our family has some farms outside of Beijing, you can go and live there for a while, and when things have calmed down, I will take you back."

"Ah? Master... Master, are you going to kick me out of the house?"

"I'm not driving you away. I'll tell everyone that you're sick and need to go to the countryside to recuperate for a while. You can also avoid all the gossip, isn't that good?"
