"After the eldest lady gets married."

"Ah? That's almost a year to wait... Do you think the eldest lady will hinder you from punishing Gu? No, they are not on the same side to begin with, and I think the eldest lady also despises that evil woman."

Besides, during this year the Second Miss had to endure the abuse from the Gu family and the show-off from the Eldest Miss, and she also had to be on guard against unexpected events. It was really hard for her to vent her anger!

"This is a safe time. Besides, my father will certainly choose a husband for me after my sister gets married. After a year or so, I will leave the Xu Mansion and have nothing to do with this place anymore. It will be a good time to leave with a clean conscience."

"Puchi! It seems that you have made all the plans, but I am too nosy. I don't know what kind of husband the master will choose for you in the future. If you can marry a better one than the eldest lady, then Amitabha!"

Xu Yiyan's expression was indifferent: "It doesn't matter who you marry, it's just going from one place to another. Do you say that she married better than my sister? Humph, everyone is as blessed as her, but marrying well does not necessarily mean living a good life. You will understand in the future."

"Look at what you are saying, young lady. You are full of these words. I think you are talking to the same degree as those monks and nuns, which is hard to understand!"

"I really hope that if the Xu family goes bankrupt one day, I can go to the temple and become a nun."

"Hiss!" Siqin knew that she could not persuade him, so she put away the account book and placed it in the secret compartment of the dressing room. This is a big treasure. Our young lady will rely on it if she wants to turn things around in the future!

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the day for her elder sister to get married. Ever since she knew the Seventh Prince's favorite person, she never appeared in front of him again, so as not to make herself angry or be laughed at.

The Seventh Prince had sent people to come once or twice, wanting to meet with him to talk things over. But Xu Yiyan knew very well that there was no need to turn back. Even if he was willing to give her a status now, it was only because she was his sister's younger sister. She would rather not accept such charity!

Xu Yiyan lay by the moon gate, watching her elder sister leave. She did not show up or participate in the leaving ceremony, but just looked at the newlyweds silently.

So good, so good!

But everyone has his own life. Since I was eight years old, I have been fighting for revenge for my mother and to kill that bitch!

She hurried back to the courtyard and confirmed that the account was still there, and then she felt relieved. But just as the firecrackers were over, the person she least wanted to see appeared in front of her.

"Second Miss, I am here on Madam's orders to inform you that you did not attend the eldest Miss's going-out ceremony, which is really disrespectful to the eldest sister. The eldest Miss is very dissatisfied, and has asked Madam to discipline the second Miss."

Mrs. Gu's face was still as hateful as it was when she was beaten at the age of eight.

"I wonder what my mother will do with me?"

"Hmph, that's what the eldest lady meant. Please don't wrongly accuse our lady! The eldest lady said that you should copy the female virtues ten times and kneel for three days as punishment."

Before Xu Yiyan could say anything, Siqin came in from outside and heard this. She hurriedly pleaded, "Madam Gu, my young lady is weak. If she kneels for three days, her knees will definitely be broken! Please ask Madam for mercy..."

"Shut up! Madam has always been fair and selfless. Second Miss, please come in now!" Mrs. Gu glared at her and was about to carry Xu Yiyan away.

Xu Yiyan had long been accustomed to such torture, so he gave Siqin a comforting look and followed Mrs. Gu to the ancestral hall.

Although Xu Yiyan was kneeling, his mind was extremely clear. Poor Gu had to make up a lie and maintain her good reputation as a virtuous woman, and she had to pin this bad reputation on her eldest sister!

Although she did not show up, she had been watching everything from the side. From the main hall to the door, the elder sister had been holding a fan to cover her face, and she lowered her head when she walked. She never had a moment to talk to Gu. This was really a false accusation. She and the elder sister had become the two unwitting enemies.

When Mrs. Gu said I had to kneel for three days, that meant three real days.

Not to mention leaving the ancestral hall for three days, there were people guarding the door even when she slept. She could only force herself to stay awake and hold on to her body.

Meals would only be delivered once a day in the evening. By the third night, when the meal was delivered, she was already dizzy and ate without even seeing what was in the bowl.

It was not until she finished the whole bowl that she realized belatedly that there were crushed peanuts in it.

Oh my god! Xu Yiyan half-crawled towards the door. Her body was already extremely weak from the punishment, not to mention that she had just eaten an unknown amount of peanuts!

My mother once warned me that I must not eat peanuts because I was allergic to them, and she reminded me many times.

But I was still young at that time, and although I knew I had to be careful, I didn't know why. Moreover, my mother said that she didn't tell the kitchen or outsiders about this directly because she was afraid that someone would know and harm her.

But after all these years of precautions, it was all ruined by my own sudden hunger!

She heard Siqin Sihua's voice coming from the door: "Mammy, the three days are up, can we take the Second Young Miss away?"

"Come in." The man outside seemed to be showing mercy and opened the door with a bang.

Siqin saw the second young lady lying on the ground and almost unconscious, and she shouted and hurriedly carried her back to the courtyard. But when she wanted to send someone to ask for the palace doctor, she was stopped by Nanny Gu, who said that the palace doctor was in the lady's room taking the master's pulse and must not be disturbed.

Siqin's eyes were filled with tears and she could only go back in hatred, thinking to herself, you damned woman, just wait, when our young lady wakes up, it will be your death!

After returning to the room, Siqin found that although the second young lady was unconscious, her complexion was fine and looked rosy. After thinking about it, she thought that she might have fainted from kneeling for too long.

So after applying medicine to the second young lady's knee and drinking a cup of tea, he retreated to wait outside the door.

Little did she know that although Xu Yiyan's eyes were weak and her hands and feet could not move, her mind was very active at the moment. She could only pray silently, to the Bodhisattva and to her mother's spirit in heaven.

There is only one step left! Why does God treat me like this! This is not fair!

Mother, if you are still alive, please listen to your daughter's voice! As long as I can kill that evil woman, I am willing to pay any price!

At the end of her begging, Xu Yiyan felt that her breathing was becoming increasingly difficult, as if her throat was being strangled by someone. She began to rewind and recall her life.

Is that all?

I won't accept this, I won't accept this!

At this moment, regrets came over her like a flood. She regretted why she had to be concerned about that evil woman, why she had to use such a slow method, and why she couldn't just kill that woman with one knife!

I am the daughter of General Fuyuan's mansion. Even if I really killed a cunning slave, my father would not let me pay with my life. He has to save his face! Why didn't I think of this earlier?

Everywhere he looked was bloodshot. Xu Yiyan finally lost his breath and passed away solemnly.

The next moment, someone sat up suddenly, covered his mouth in surprise, and looked at the mirror on the dressing table.

"Uh..." The man covered his abdomen with a look of disbelief.

The door opened and a voice came in: "Second Miss, you are awake, why don't you call me!"
