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

She was once a woman who was infatuated with her grandson and could not restrain herself. He said that he did not like Miss Xu and that his family forced him to get married. He said that he liked her and was willing to take her home. He said that Miss Xu was too domineering and he could not stand it. He wanted to kill her, he said...

He said so many things, but unfortunately few of them were true. I fell into love step by step, fell into the trap, ruined my appearance, and became a substitute. Now it seems that everything is not worth it.

"Yixing, I came here to tell you that my grandmother and my father both hope that I can marry Wu Xueyan."

The stand-in heard this, but he was not angry, but very calm: "To make room for her, so I have to die?"

"No, no, no, no, of course not. How could I bear to let you die? We have discussed marrying her as a co-wife. Of course, even if she is a co-wife, you will always be the one who married first. She has to call you sister, and I will always treat you well."

Ridiculous! Don't even mention whether Xu Yixing would agree to it. Even if it was a substitute, he couldn't understand his grandson's behavior.

"Can I hear why?"

Sun Ziyou was a little impatient: "You don't understand what's going on in the court, so it's useless for me to tell you."

"If you really don't intend to tell me, why bother coming to inform me? I'm just a puppet anyway. Who you marry is not my decision."

She spoke with a very special accent, like singing, in a roundabout way that was seductive. It was a pity that Sun Ziyou couldn't think of anything else when he saw this face.

"Well, it doesn't hurt to tell you. The scene she set up in Prince Cheng's mansion was arranged by the Second Prince. This was a test and a warning. It was the Second Prince's attempt to win over our family. Whether we are willing to join his ship depends on whether the Sun Mansion is willing to accept Wu Xueyan. Do you understand?"

The Stand frowned, thinking about the meaning of this.

"So, if you don't accept her this time, you will be an enemy of the Second Prince?"

"Yes. You may not know this, but the Second Prince's mother is the most favored Concubine Ying. He is the prince most likely to inherit the throne. If you offend him, the Sun Mansion will not have a good ending, and you will not be able to protect him."

"You don't need to tell me this. I'm not stupid."

Sun Ziyou smiled awkwardly, but in his heart he was full of contempt. Are you not stupid? If you are not stupid, you will believe such an argument? The lowest class is the lowest class, without the political acumen of a noble lady.

"So I had no choice but to do this. I hope you can understand me."

The stand-in looked at his grandson You, and saw dark circles under his eyes, which showed that he had indeed not slept well the previous night.

"You dare not offend the Second Prince, but you also dare not offend General Xu, so I cannot die. But Ziyou, marrying a concubine is no different from stepping on General Xu's face. Do you dare?"

"My father will take care of the matter over there, so you don't have to worry about it. I just want to tell you that once the news of this matter gets out, I'm afraid someone from the Xu Mansion will come to visit you. But it's called a visit, but in fact it's to seek advice. You know what to say, right?"

"No need for my husband's instructions." The substitute imitated Sun Ziyou's tone and said it back.

"Haha, your speaking style is very similar to Yixing."

"I am Yixing, have you forgotten, my husband?"

"Yes, yes, that's what Madam said. You should have a good rest then. I'll prepare your favorite plums later. Eat more."

Sun Ziyou went out and took the little maid with him.

"How is the young lady these days? How is your health? Has your temper improved?"

"Much better, thanks to the doctor Yao you hired, young master, his medical skills are really good!"

"So, were you there every time they said something?"

"According to your instructions, the young lady has never been alone with Doctor Yao. I didn't say anything when I heard her. She just talked about her condition and some precautions. It's normal."

"That's good. Thank you for your hard work." Sun Ziyou took off the purse and handed it to the maid. The maid smiled and thanked him repeatedly.

On May 7, the Duke's Mansion sent people to the Wu Mansion of the City Defense Bureau. Although no one knew what they talked about, everyone guessed that the Duke's Mansion must have felt that Wu Xueyan's behavior had caused them a lot of trouble, so they went to hold her accountable.

On May 8th, the two governments simultaneously released news that the Sun and Wu families had reconciled, and that the eldest grandson, Sun Ziyou, would marry Wu Xueyan soon, in order to appease public opinion and fulfill the long-cherished wish of Miss Wu San.

This news exploded like thunder in the sky above Kyoto. Madam Sun was still in power. If she wanted to marry Wu Xueyan, would she be planning to divorce Miss Xu or let Wu Xueyan come in as a concubine? Obviously, neither possibility was likely.

However, the Xu Mansion, which was sandwiched between the two mansions and had never shown up, but could not be ignored, had not made any move, as if it had not heard the rumors.

Madam Xu closed the door and refused to see anyone, isolating herself from anyone who wanted to get information from her or tell her anything. Even General Xu claimed to be ill and did not attend court, completely closing the door of the Xu Mansion.

On May 9th, just as the ladies who cared about gossip opened their eyes and prepared to wash up, everyone heard the news: it was not about divorcing Xu Yixing, nor about making Wu Xueyan a concubine, but about marrying her as a co-wife.

"Second wife? Master, is there something wrong with my son-in-law's brain? How did he come up with this idea?"

Gu also heard the news as soon as she got up. She hadn't even washed or dressed yet. The couple sat by the bed, talking about the matter.

"Without the permission of Old Man Sun and his cunning old lady, how could he come up with this idea? Humph!"

"Master, do you think that because you haven't paid much attention to Xing'er recently, the Sun family thinks that she is no longer valuable, so they resorted to this desperate measure?"

"Bullshit! I don't care about my daughter? It's obvious that the Sun family has climbed up a bigger tree and wants to kick us away!" Old Man Xu pretended to be angry. He just didn't care about the counterfeit, but he didn't want to let other people know for the time being.

"Alas! Master, you don't have to be angry. Do the Sun family think they can soar to the top by currying favor with the Second Prince? You are the future father-in-law of the Seventh Prince. Aren't you more legitimate than them? Calm down, calm down."

Old Man Xu was not very satisfied with Gu's opinion. Did she think that marrying a daughter to the prince was as simple as marrying a daughter? If it was really that simple, then all the officials in the capital would have nothing to do every day and could just stay at home and give birth to daughters.

"What makes me angry is that no one from the Sun family has come to tell us about such a big thing. Do they think we are dead?"

"Yes, yes, in fact, whatever people say outside is just a rumor. They didn't tell us, so maybe it's not true. Let's just wait for the news."

Old Man Xu strode to the study. He wanted to see his second daughter.
