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

After thinking about this long list, Xu Yixing felt a buzzing pain in his head. It was really too difficult.

Especially the balance between making Dad feel that he was being held hostage but not letting him rush to the Sun Mansion to search for people was too difficult to grasp. If you are not careful, you will end up making things worse.

Xu Yixing thought about it, stood up, picked up a pen and paper, and pondered for half a day before writing a letter to Old Man Xu in his own handwriting.

The content of the letter was very simple. It just said that he was bored staying in the Sun Mansion and asked his father to ask his younger brother to pick him up and play for a few days.

No other matters were mentioned.

Xu Yixing's tactic was to lure the counterfeit into a trap, to keep the counterfeit away from the protection of the Sun residence and Si Wu's guidance. He took her back as the real one and let her play with her father and brother every day. Sooner or later they would find the flaw.

By the time dad finds out something is wrong, he will surely realize that something must have happened to his precious daughter in the Sun Mansion. For the sake of her life, dad will not act rashly.

"Yingjiu, help me give this letter to Xu Qian and tell him that the eldest lady asked him to pass it on to the master."

"Yes."

After a good night's sleep, when Xu Yixing got up in the morning, he heard Si Hua say that the young master went to the Sun Mansion early in the morning to pick up the eldest lady and take her home. Such efficiency was really amazing.

"Is my injury less severe than yesterday?" Xu Yixing looked in the mirror and praised the medicine for its effectiveness.

"It's much better than yesterday, but when the eldest lady comes back later, you have to go to the front to pay your respects. This can't be hidden." Siqin's eyes were full of complaints. She didn't want to find a palace doctor for this injury, and she didn't want to let anyone know, and she couldn't even prescribe medicine.

"I'm not going to the front. I won't go out to see anyone until my wound is completely healed."

"The master will tell you about that, right? After all, the whole family will definitely welcome the eldest lady back."

"So, you should go to the front now and tell them that my condition has relapsed. I'm afraid of infecting everyone, so I won't go."

"Okay..." Siqin left reluctantly.

"Tsk, the emperor has to think about so many things, isn't he tired? But why do I feel like I'm more tired than him..."

When Xu Yixing thought about last night's analysis, he felt more and more that he had a better chance of revenge. He really had to thank the petty emperor.

If it was the founding emperor of Da Xia, with his magnanimous temperament, what would be the problem if she married into the Duke's Mansion, let alone the Prince's Mansion!

Xu Yixing was eating a meat and vegetable breakfast when he saw Siqin coming back with a smile on her face.

"Second Miss, what a coincidence! The eldest Miss was taken by the young master to watch a play today. They will probably play until the evening. When the master heard that you were not well, he specially asked the servant to bring so many oranges to help the young lady take the bitter medicine."

"Leave it there. Do you have any prunes? I want to eat that."

"Hmm... Missy loves dried plums the most, so I guess we left them all for her..."

"Okay, okay, then you guys can share the oranges, and leave one for me to taste."

"Okay, thank you for the reward, Miss!"

In the days since returning from Madam Jing's house, Xu Yixing has been concentrating on recuperating from his injuries. He never goes to the front yard or meets with his family.

The counterfeit was quite patient. She was taken back for unknown reasons, but she didn't suspect anything. She just played around every day according to the arrangements of Old Man Xu and Xu Yiwen, and didn't reveal any flaws.

It was not until October 15th that after Old Man Xu returned from the horse farm outside the city with the counterfeit, he called Xu Yixing to his study for questioning for the first time.

Fortunately, most of Xu Yixing's injuries had faded, and the remaining purple color was slightly covered up with powder, so it could not be seen in the dark night.

It was a chilly late autumn day. Xu Yixing, wearing a short sable-skin jacket, walked towards his father's study accompanied by Siqin.

I was thinking as I walked: My father asked me to go, it shouldn’t be to ask about my injury, but for something else.

Today, at his instigation, Xu Yiwen asked his father to take the fake to the horse farm. Now he called him as soon as he came back. He must have discovered something strange.

In fact, it is not difficult to imagine that voice, appearance, and living habits can all be learned, but Xu Yixing's more than ten years of equestrian skills and martial arts training that can kill most young ladies in seconds are not something that can be learned overnight.

Huh, hh, hh, I finally saw you reveal a weakness!

Xu Yixing thought so and entered the study room happily. As soon as he entered the room, he found that his father was even happier than himself, with a rosy face, as if he had drunk some wine.

"Yan'er, come here quickly, Dad has good news to tell you!" Old Man Xu danced with his hands as he spoke, like a festive pug.

"What makes Dad so happy?"

"Your sister is pregnant! Tell me, isn't this a happy event?"

What! The fake one is pregnant? This...

"Really, Dad? How did you know? Tell me in detail!" Xu Yixing's face was full of smiles, and his hands hidden in his sleeves almost pulled out the hair on his jacket.

"Hahaha, it's all Wen'er's fault. He insisted on dragging your sister to go horseback riding today. I saw that your sister seemed to be sitting on the horse and something was wrong. When I asked her, I found out that she was pregnant!"

"This... My sister has only been married to the Sun family for a month, and she is already pregnant. She is really blessed."

Old Man Xu did not notice the doubt in Xu Yi's words. He just twirled his beard with a look of satisfaction on his face.

Xu Yixing also figured it out. This was probably because the counterfeit had no other choice but to make up such a lie. It was a quick wit, but not a brilliant one.

"By the way, Dad, have you asked the court doctor to check it? My sister is newly pregnant, so we need to ask the court doctor to prescribe a suitable food list."

"I have checked it. Ziyou was here today, and I asked the doctor in their mansion to check his pulse. There is no mistake!"

Oh...it turned out that Sun Ziyou was also afraid of something happening, so he insisted on going to the horse farm with him, and only then did he make up for the lie.

"Dad, I'm not being nosy, but at least one more person has diagnosed it, which is an extra layer of insurance."

Hearing this, Old Man Xu seemed a little unhappy: "You kid, you have so many concerns. Besides, your sister has been taken back to the Sun Mansion, and I still chased her to check her pulse, you!"

"If you're going back, why don't you bring him back and raise him?" This grandson was quick to act.

"I think so too. After all, he is the child of the Duke's Mansion. If it is a boy, he will be the eldest great-grandson, and he will be extremely noble!"

Your Excellency, you big-headed ghost, there is only air in your stomach!

"Oh, that's too far. Dad asked you to come because he wanted you to give something to your sister tomorrow. Dad won't go. I feel embarrassed."

What do you mean you feel embarrassed? Are you feeling too embarrassed to go again this time because you were too hasty to go last time regarding Si Wu's matter?

"I will serve you." Xu Yi bowed and returned to his own courtyard. When he left, his face was full of smiles, but when he came back, his face was so dark that it could be used as the bottom of a pot.

"Yingjiu, go to the Seventh Prince's Mansion and ask him to find a way to ask the imperial physician to go to the Duke's Mansion to check the young lady's pulse in the name of the palace."

"Yes."
