"You don't think that Sun Ziyou is the only one who knows the whereabouts of your family, right? What he can use to threaten you, I can use too." Xu Yixing took out a piece of paper and threw it on the bed.

Gao Yao opened it tremblingly. On it was a picture of a man grinding in the yard. She recognized him immediately. It was her brother.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Gao Yao completely collapsed. She grabbed her own hair and pulled it hard. Sun Ziyou threatened her, and now even Xu Yiyan was threatening her. How could she let him live?

"Hush, be quiet, you're noisy."

"What do you want me to do... I don't know where her body is, I don't know..."

"It doesn't matter. I want to hear the whole process of how you and Sun Ziyou met." It doesn't matter whether she knows it or not. Lu Anyuan will find it for himself, and so will his father.

Xu Yixing poured her a cup of tea. After listening carefully, she wanted to know more why Sun Ziyou wanted to kill her.

"Grandson... Grandson, okay, okay." Gao Yao calmed down and drank the tea in one gulp.

"Since you know my background, there's no need for me to tell you this. He and I met three years ago. That year, he went to Shixiangfang and fell in love with me at first sight. He asked me to stay overnight, and later he just kept me as a guest, not letting the madam ask me to receive guests, but only to serve him."

Wasn't it three years ago that I was engaged to him? Did this plan of using someone else's power start so early?

"He was very nice to me. He said he liked me very much." Although Gao Yao had tears in her eyes, she still felt very sweet when she recalled this.

Xu Yixing looked at her expression and shook his head in his heart. It was all Sun Ziyou's fault. What a liar! But there was nothing he could do. Sun Ziyou's appearance was indeed very deceptive. He was good-looking, gentle, and well-trained in the military camp. He had a heroic aura. It was really hard for people not to like him.

"Although I didn't know his identity at the time, he was able to keep me for so long, so he must not be an ordinary rich man, but an official. I can feel that he does not have the greed of a businessman, but instead has the deterrent power of an official. He must be the son of a high-ranking official."

"Then you have good taste."

"Haha, later I took the opportunity to ask him about it. I told him I wanted him to redeem me and take me home. He looked reluctant, so I pretended to be angry and ignored him for several days, and he surrendered."

Gao Yao does have some skills, but the person she is facing is Sun Ziyou, so it would be a shame to show off her skills in front of an expert.

"He said it's not that he doesn't want to, but it's because of the family rules. I knew even more that he must be from a wealthy family. I must hold on to him tightly. That's my only chance to change my fate!"

"And he brought you back?"

"How could it be that easy! He said, he said he was already engaged, and he also said he didn't like her at all, it was all because of her family."

Bullshit! When Sun Ziyou was with me, he laughed so hard that his teeth popped out. Who forced him to do that?

"Then he redeemed me and bought me a yard to live in. He made me learn the rules, the rules of the rich and powerful families."

"Huh?" Is there any necessary connection?

"He said that he liked me, but he absolutely could not take me back as a prostitute. So he asked me to learn these things, and when I learned them, he would make up an identity for me to come back and deceive my family, and then cancel the engagement, and we would stay together forever and never separate."

"Ugh!" Xu Yixing couldn't help but dry heave, feeling so sick! "Sorry, please continue, I'm a little sick of breakfast."

Never separate, stay together forever? I thought the prostitutes were used to men's vows and wouldn't believe them, but I didn't expect they were just like me, both of them were pig-headed.

"But as I was learning, I felt something was a little bit wrong. There was nothing wrong with the rules at first, but the way he taught me to speak was not what a girl in the boudoir should say. It was a bit like the way a mean old lady speaks."

Bah! You are the mean old lady! Your whole family is!

"I asked him, and he said that the identity he made up for me was the daughter of a certain frontier general, so I had to speak more boldly."

"You believe it?"

Gao Yao sniffed and smiled sarcastically: "Yes, I actually believed it. I didn't doubt it until he asked me to ride a horse. But, Miss Xu, riding a horse requires talent. I just can't learn it. He was very angry about this and smashed several vases."

That’s right. I have studied horse riding for more than ten years. It turns out that it’s not because of my talent, but because of my hard work.

"So when did you find out he was lying to you?"

"About a month before your sister got married."

"So late?" At that time, Sun Ziyou had been training Gao Yao for almost two years, and no one had noticed.

"Yes. One night, he drank a lot of wine, came to my place, hugged me and cried. He said there was no way he could break off the engagement, and said sorry to me. I was very sad, and I was even more afraid that he would be sad. I said it was okay, I could be a concubine, as long as the mistress would tolerate it, I was willing to serve."

If I can tolerate it, I'll be a ghost.

"But he said that person was very domineering and would never tolerate me. She said her name was Xu Yixing, and she was the eldest daughter of the Fuyuan General's Mansion. He said he had had enough of her and would kill her as soon as she got married!"

"Uh...you, you believe it again?"

"Yes, I believed it again. He told me that I looked a lot like Xu Yixing, and as long as I was willing to disguise myself a little, once Xu Yixing died, I would be the mistress of the main house and the future granddaughter-in-law of the Sun family. He didn't lie to me about this, and he really killed her and took me in."

After talking for so long, Xu Yixing still didn't understand why his grandson Ziyou hated him. He had known my character for a long time. Why couldn't he tolerate it and had to kill people?

Gao Yao suddenly became louder and louder: "But I didn't expect it! Everyone in your Xu Mansion is so difficult to deal with! Si Wu dared to point at my nose and scold me, and Nanny Bai ridiculed me, especially you who made me feel uncomfortable all over. Every time I see you, nothing good happens!"

Ah, thank you. The people in our Xu family are really tough guys, hehe.

Xu Yixing showed an apologetic expression. There was nothing he could do. The mistress of the family was immoral. If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. She learned this from the Gu family.

"My grandson was worried that you would recognize me, so he let that bitch Siwu destroy my face! My face... my face..."

Gao Yao hugged her face, in great pain.

"Actually, this was a wrong move. That's why we recognized you."

"What?" Gao Yao couldn't believe it and raised her face from her fingers.

"My father saw you here that day and immediately recognized that you were a fake."

"No wonder... No wonder... No wonder you ignored me after that. I thought General Xu was heartless and gave up on his daughter, but it turns out it's because you recognized me... Hahahaha! Sun Ziyou, you came up with a great idea!"
