Humph, you're worried? What else can you do besides go to your dad and say a few sour words about how the young lady doesn't take you seriously? Pah!

But what Xu Yixing was more concerned about was that the Sun Mansion reported that he was sick? This was not a good idea. According to his father's love for his daughter, he might bring a doctor to the Sun Mansion to treat him. If he couldn't see anyone, he would see how the Sun Mansion would deal with him.

No, that's not right. There is another possibility. Xu Yixing put his hand on his lower abdomen. The taste of the poisoned wine was too painful. It tortured him for half a night. Could it be that the poison was not fatal, but just made him feel pain? Just now, he thought that Xu Yiyan had gone somewhere. Could it be that the two of them switched and she fell on him?

"Mother, since you are worried about my sister, why don't I go to the Sun Mansion to take a look." Xu Yixing bowed. He would not be at ease unless he saw it with his own eyes.

Gu was a little surprised. When did this daughter take the initiative to mention that she wanted to get involved with the eldest daughter? Could it be that she had already figured out that she had falsely passed on the order in the past... She couldn't be that smart...

Xu Yixing knew that what he said was suspicious, so he added, "Don't worry, mother. I just thought that if I didn't go, Dad would definitely go by himself. If other people knew about this, they would probably laugh at our family and say that we favor our daughter too much, which would be bad for our reputation."

Gu thought about it for a moment and realized that it was true. The master loved his eldest daughter so much. If he really went directly to visit the newly married daughter, he would probably be laughed at by his colleagues, thinking that the Xu family was worried about the Sun family. But the master was just like this, and she couldn't persuade him at all.

"Okay, Xiaoyan is still thoughtful. Then you can take the court doctor with you and say you are going to see your sister. Just don't stay too long."

It was rare for Gu to speak to the Second Young Miss in such a gentle voice that even Nanny Gu was a little stunned, but since the Madam was here, she couldn't say much.

"Yes, I wonder if mother has anything else to say to my sister?"

"Haha, just tell her to take good care of herself and write home when she recovers. I'll have Wen'er pick her up in person."

"Yes, my daughter has made a note of it. I will go there right away."

Seeing the second young lady leave, Nanny Gu came forward and said, "Madam, the eldest young lady is too presumptuous. Do you want to tell the master?"

"What's the use of telling the master? It's not like I haven't told you before!" When there were no outsiders around, Gu Shuang's face returned to a cruel expression. She hated the arrogant Xu Yixing the most, but the master was protecting her, so what could she do?

Nanny Gu walked forward and gently stroked Gu Shuang's back: "Madam, don't be angry. The Duke's Mansion is a very important family. If the eldest daughter is still so unruly after marrying there, she will suffer the consequences."

"Alas! After all, she is the daughter of our Fuyuan General's Mansion and the Grand Commander's Mansion. I can't cure her." Gu said self-deprecatingly. When she thought of the master's original wife Bai, she felt so hateful that her heart itched. She had been dead for so many years, but the master couldn't forget her!

"Tsk, what Grand Commander's Mansion? The current Grand Commander of the Imperial Guards is just her most distant cousin. She only has the reputation of being a relative and sends gifts during festivals. Who in the Bai Mansion treats her as a family member?"

Gu Shuang smiled. This was the truth. But a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if the Bai family is no longer what it used to be, it is still much more noble than the daughter of a minister of the Ministry of Revenue. She can only sigh in despair.

Xu Yixing left the courtyard, holding Siqin's hand and slowly walked back to the room. The ridicule towards Gu Shi in her heart became louder and louder. Over the years, she always felt that Gu Shi was restless, but she never showed it in front of her. It turned out that she took out her anger on Xu Yiyan.

"Please clean up for me quickly. It will be lunch time if you are late. It is not a good time to go there."

Xu Yixing stood there, letting the maids dress her up. No matter how casual she was at home, she had to look bright and beautiful when she went out to meet guests, as this represented the reputation of the general's mansion, so she was not afraid that Gu would deduct Xu Yiyan's money on this.

As expected, touching the new clothes, I felt that they were gorgeous, smooth and comfortable, but the material was inferior, especially the lining, the fabric was so bad that it pricked me! As expected, Gu only cared about the outside and didn't care about the inside.

Siqin straightened her collar and said softly, "Why do you have to cause trouble for yourself? It's not easy to go to the eldest lady's place!" She was standing outside the door just now, but she was listening all the time. She didn't know why the second lady did this today.

"Siqin, I just figured out something. If I say that all the things that tortured me in the past were not done by the eldest lady, would you believe it?"

Siqin took several steps back, her mouth wide open, her expression simply saying "It depends on whether I believe it or not".

"Okay, is the court doctor ready? It's time to go."

Xu Yixing got on his own carriage, followed by a small carriage, which naturally carried the court doctor. Sitting in the carriage, she thought carefully about what she was going to say when she got back. Whether she could really see "Xu Yixing" or not, she had something to say.

When she thought of the Sun Mansion, she felt an unexplained stomachache. That grandson was worried! She had been deceived by his sweet words for two years, but she didn't expect that she would end up like this after marrying. She really couldn't figure out why all this happened.

The marriage between the Fuyuan General's Mansion and the Duke's Mansion was approved by the emperor two years ago. It was a formal marriage and the two families were well matched. Although it was not a marriage granted by the emperor, it was still a topic of discussion in the capital.

The general's mansion had few descendants, but the Duke's mansion was flourishing. In order not to let me be looked down upon, my father actually gave me half of the mansion's belongings as a dowry on the day of my marriage. How glorious was that? How could everything change in just three days?

"Second Miss, we have arrived at the Sun Mansion."

The carriage stopped and Xu Yixing sat quietly in the carriage without moving. This was also the rule. She was a female member of the family and would not get off the carriage if no one came to pick her up.

"Go and tell the gate to pass on the message."

"Yes." Siqin went to knock on the door and explained her purpose. Not long after, the carriage started moving again. It was obvious that it drove directly into the Duke's Mansion through the side door. This was the etiquette for receiving female guests.

"Second Miss, Si Wen is here." Si Qin reported, and Xu Yixing got off the carriage. As expected, he saw Si Wen standing beside the carriage in an orderly manner, waiting for him.

"Greetings to the Second Miss, our eldest... Young Madam is waiting for you." Si Wen was not yet accustomed to calling the eldest Miss the Young Madam, so he stumbled.

However, Xu Yixing didn't dare to get too close to her. After the lesson that night, she didn't dare to trust even her own sisters, let alone a maid.

"Si Wen, it's you. I heard that my sister was sick, so I came to see her on behalf of my parents."

"Second Miss is so thoughtful. Young Madam is indeed not feeling well. Please come this way."
