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

"How has my family ever considered my face? Okay, sister, you don't have to say anything. Even if dad comes to tie me up and take me back today, I won't say a word. You should hurry back to Beijing with me. I won't see you off."

Xu Yi was angry when he heard this, and it was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with his father's favoritism towards the Gu family last time.

Xu Shimao was in a dilemma. His family was waiting outside the academy. If the young master insisted on not coming back, what would he do? So he looked to the second young lady for help: "This..."

"Forget it, since you have made up your mind, I will go back and defend you. I also hope that you can study hard and become successful as soon as possible."

Xu Yixing admired Yiwen's straightforwardness and didn't want to waste time talking to Xu Shimao, so he took Siwen and left, leaving Xu Shimao in a dilemma.

After speeding along the way, the carriage finally arrived home at dusk.

Xu Yixing took a deep breath and prepared to face his father's next anger.

"Dad! I was in the academy. I rushed back as soon as I heard about mother's situation. Is it true?" Xu Yixing's forehead was still covered with sweat from running in just now. He was gasping for breath, and it was obvious that he was very anxious.

"Oh! It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back! It's true, your mother... Oh! I don't know why she is so depressed, it's really a waste of my plans for her!" Old Man Xu beat his chest and slapped his thighs. When he saw clearly why he had only one daughter, he still asked in confusion.

"Why are you the only one here? Where's your brother?"

Xu Yixing looked embarrassed and glanced at the door. Xu Shimao walked in with a pale face and trembling body.

I don't know what sin I have committed. Before leaving, the second lady asked me to explain to the master and then she tied me up in the car. What kind of thing is this!

"I am... nice to meet you, Master." After performing the salute stiffly, Xu Shimao felt as if his legs and feet were not his own and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Where's the young master?"

"Young Master, Young Master..."

"Say!"

Xu Shimao shuddered, almost frightened to death: "Young Master said he will not come back, and wants to study in the academy..."

"What?" Old Man Xu tilted his head and listened, wondering if there was something wrong with his ears. How would everyone see his only son not coming back? How would the funeral go on?

"Dad, don't be angry. Brother is just too sad and wants to be quiet for a while. He has no intention of disobeying me."

Old Man Xu refused to listen to anything and covered his chest with his hands: "Xu Qian, go there yourself and bring this rebellious son back to me!"

"General, calm down. I'll go right away."

"Dad! If Uncle Xu goes now, he won't be able to make it back in time for the curfew, but we still have to arrange for someone to pick up Mother's coffin, so you should think of a solution quickly."

Xu Yixing looked anxious, and even her breathing quickened. But who could have known that she was the happiest person in the entire Xu family, and she felt happy when she saw her father anxious!

Old Man Xu sat down on the chair, and felt that his second daughter was more filial. At this moment, she was the only one thinking about the family's dignity. She would definitely be on the side of the Xu family in the future. The husband he chose for her was really the right one!

"Your mother's body has been buried at the farm this afternoon. It should be outside the east gate now, waiting for someone to pick her up. Your brother... is a rebellious son! I will break his legs when he comes back!"

While Mr. Xu was angry, he turned his attention to his second daughter. Now, all they needed was a boy in the family to receive the spirit. As the saying goes, a son-in-law is half a son. Isn't this just the right thing to do?

The moment Xu Yixing met his father's gaze, he understood what he was going to do.

Good fellow, you dare to go after the emperor's son? Even if Lu Anyuan is willing to go, are you really going to go crazy and let the prince take your wife's spirit?

"No, Dad! This is against etiquette and will definitely lead to impeachment. In my opinion, we should let the nephews of the Gu family send a representative and bring him home first."

In fact, Father Xu only thought so. He just didn't expect that his second daughter would understand his feelings so quickly and would even consider and advise him. It was really rare. Otherwise, it would be said that a daughter is a father's little cotton-padded jacket.

Thinking of this, Old Man Xu even felt that even if she was the daughter of a criminal slave, it didn't seem to be a big deal.

"That makes sense, that makes sense. Quickly ask the housekeeper to go and tell the Gu family to find someone to take the spirit away."

Any official in the capital would be furious at such an obviously rude request. After all, this is too ugly. Your son doesn't want to take his mother in. This is unfilial and disobedient, but no one in the Gu Mansion said anything.

For no other reason than that I was in the wrong.

Madam Gu had repeatedly asked her to send Madam Gu away, saying that the young lady must not be wronged. Therefore, Madam Gu could tell at a glance whether it was Madam Gu's work.

Over the years, Gu had gotten whatever she wanted in the Xu family, and she was too proud. As their mother, she would sometimes advise them not to be too close to them, after all, they were nominally her children, but Gu never listened.

As soon as Grandma He's confession arrived at home that day, Madam Gu knew that something was wrong. The only two children in the Xu family now had made enemies with her daughter. How could this be tolerated! If the Xu family was torn apart, wouldn't she be a big sinner?

Fortunately, her son-in-law was willing to forgive her mistake, and even discussed with the two elders to send her away to avoid the limelight.

Unexpectedly! Gu Shuang had been arrogant all her life, and now that she was suddenly treated like this, she chose to commit suicide. Madam Gu did not even doubt the cause of death because she knew her daughter too well.

This is the reason why things that are strong are easily broken.

So there was nothing Mrs. Gu could do except cry in her room.

Gu Shuang's coffin swayed as it entered the city from the east gate, attracting many people's attention: How can you welcome a spirit at night? This is too unlucky.

However, when they saw the circle of guards around the coffin and the filial son who was obviously his mother's death, everyone still felt a little sympathy. After all, no one would bother with a dead person.

But Xu Yixing will.

Today, all three gates of the Xu Mansion were open, from the main gate all the way to the main courtyard, which was exactly the same as when they welcomed his coffin back.

The white lanterns hung high, making the already lonely autumn day even paler. It didn't seem like a funeral, but more like a haunting.

She was very unhappy. Such a vicious woman could have a grand funeral, and her spirit tablet would be placed next to her mother after her death. It was too disgusting.

So after the coffin was placed in the main courtyard for the body to be laid out, he just took a quick look at it, and then, making the excuse that he had other things to do in the Prince's mansion, he got into the carriage and went back.

Lu Anyuan originally thought that Yixing must be staying at home today. Just when he was about to ask someone to send some clothes, he saw her walking in like the wind.
