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

What the hell is this?

Xu Yixing quickly stepped forward and pulled Old Man Xu, this rhythm is wrong!

"Dad, Dad! You are confused. There may be a mastermind behind Si Wu. It's time to investigate now. How can you..."

"The person is dead, what are you still investigating? Yan'er, I am sorry for your sister. I didn't choose a good maid for her. Sigh! Come back, come back for your maid. Dad will definitely choose the best one! Come back!"

Huh? How did it get to this point? Xu Yixing didn't understand what his father was thinking.

Xu Yixing wanted to say something else, but Old Man Xu had already forcibly dragged her out, and she didn't even have time to take a look at the situation in the courtyard.

In the end, it was Lu Anyuan who stayed behind to clean up the mess. He gave medicine to those who needed it, buried those who needed to be buried, and comforted the people in the Sun Mansion before leaving with A Da.

Duke Sun was so grateful that he didn't sleep all night, thinking about the emperor's great grace and how much he had let down the Xu family. The next day, after court, he told the emperor about the tragedy in his study and praised Old Man Xu for half an hour before he felt better.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Xu Yixing was pulled back home by her father, but he did not let her go back to her room. Instead, she sat in the study for a long time. Even when Xu Yiwen and Gu came to inquire about the situation, her father ignored them and just kept looking at her.

"Dad?" Xu Yixing suddenly felt that his father was so strange. Why did he look at him like that?

"Yan'er, you are the only daughter I have left..." After saying this, old man Xu burst into tears, which was very touching.

Huh? What does this mean? In this situation, the eldest daughter is just disfigured, why does the father just treat her as dead?

However, although Xu Yixing was shocked, he could also find a reasonable explanation.

She is very proud. From Old Man Xu's perspective, her eldest daughter was disfigured and lost her son, and it was all caused by people she trusted. She will definitely not be able to get over this, and it is possible that she will become depressed from then on.

In this case, Dad was right when he said that there was only one daughter left.

Xu Yixing thought she had guessed what Old Man Xu was thinking, and her face was a little sad. But at that time, she was stunned by her father's tears and didn't think that these words actually had a more direct meaning.

After crying, Father Xu took Xu Yixing by the hand and solemnly promised: "Yan'er, Dad will definitely find you a good family and will never let you repeat your sister's mistakes!"

Ah, that's not necessary... Your vision is really average.

In the days that followed, Dad never went to see the fake one. Xu Yixing couldn't tell whether it was because her father had completely given up on her or because he couldn't bear to see his daughter.

However, this gave her many opportunities to ask Gu for money openly, such as visiting her sister, buying tonic medicine for her sister, and inviting a troupe to perform for her sister.

Anyway, whenever Gu looked unhappy, Xu Yixing would immediately bring up his father, telling him how sad he was and how he had chopped Si Wu down at Sun's house that day. He used a combination of coaxing, deceiving, intimidating and deceiving to get a lot of money out of Gu.

Xu Yixing didn't feel embarrassed at all. These were all owed to Xu Yiyan by Gu's company. Now he was helping to get them back. That was great!

After the twentieth, the guest reception day of this month in the Xu Mansion did not proceed as usual. It was not because something happened to the eldest daughter, but because Gu felt that the incident on the mountain road last time had not yet dissipated and she was embarrassed to invite guests; more importantly, she was short of money these days and could not afford to do things.

In the main hall, Gu Shuang sat on the armchair with a bad look on his face.

"What happened this month? Why is the water flow so much less all of a sudden?"

Madam Gu stood in front of her, holding the account book in her hand: "Madam, I have already asked about it. This month, the capital has strictly checked the taxes and business procedures of various merchants, and our shop has to pay a lot of silver.

There are also some that are not fully documented, and this time they spent a lot of money to get all kinds of permissions from the government. For example, the owner of the Treasure House is still locked up in Jingzhao Prefecture, waiting to be redeemed! "

"Is Jingzhao Prefecture so short of money that it has to pick on these trivial matters! You too, haven't you never investigated our family before? Didn't you pay them too little tribute?"

Gu Shuang's face was full of suspicion, wondering if Mrs. Gu had embezzled the money that was supposed to be used to honor her superiors.

Mrs. Gu didn't understand the meaning of this, and just continued to explain: "Oh my dear young lady! How could we miss them? Last month, we presented gifts to Jingzhao Prefecture, and they accepted the money. Who knew they would turn against us this month!"

Gu Shuang lowered her eyes. In fact, she knew that her mother's family was the residence of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and Nanny Gu specialized in dealing with money, so how could she have made a mistake in handling the money.

It's just that there are too many things going on recently, and it's almost the end of the year, and money is needed everywhere. What's more, something like that happened in the Sun Mansion, and the master and the second young lady asked me for money every day, and the reasons they used were just reasons that I couldn't refuse.

She had used up all the money in the mansion's account to pay rent, and it would take some time for her to get it back, so she could only use her own private money to give them. Now that her private money was short, she was unhappy.

"Have you asked? Is it the same for everyone, or just our shop?"

"I asked, and it's all like this. I thought, maybe it's because it's the end of the year, and the masters are short of money for the New Year..."

Gu Shuang rolled her eyes vigorously. Even if there was a shortage, they wouldn't be so ruthless. The prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture was Ying Fei's man, that is, the second prince's man. Could it be that the second prince wanted to raise money for something?

"Boss of the Treasure House, you must redeem it. Go to Jingzhao Prefecture in person, bring my good tea, and comfort the brothers."

"Yes." Nanny Gu has always liked Gu Shuang, not only because of the relationship between master and servant, but also because she has insight. She is generous in matters that should not be ambiguous, and because of this, she has been able to sit firmly in the Xu Mansion for decades even though she has no children.

"By the way, I heard that your daughter-in-law was beaten last time and her legs are disabled?"

When this matter was mentioned, Madam Gu's eyes darkened; "Yes. But it's just that he walks a little unsteadily. It's not a big deal for his life..."

"She was so careless. I taught her a lesson. You're not angry, are you?"

"Madam is the master of our house, so you can beat and scold her as you please."

"Well. Don't take it personally, but keep an eye on her. If there is a better candidate, I will take her in as a concubine for your youngest son, so that he won't have any regrets."

When Mrs. Gu heard this, she quickly knelt down to express her gratitude, but when she lowered her head, her eyes were full of resentment.

"Get up, get up. We don't have to do this. But do you think there's anything else we can save money on?"

Mrs. Gu snorted in her heart. Sure enough, if I hadn't been kept by you to save money and earn money, would you have apologized to me? Sure enough, what Xiao Cai said was right, the rabbit dies and the dog is cooked... I don't know how long I can stay in this mansion.
