Chapter 346 Xiao Siyue's Conjecture
After the Xu siblings left, Xiao Siqi called Lai Cai in.
"Young Master, it's all my fault. If I hadn't drunk too much yesterday, this would never have happened." Lai Cai looked guilty. Yesterday, he was dragged into drinking by Brother Xu's servant and accidentally drank too much.
He only found out about this when he woke up today. He knew that his young master was deeply in love with his young mistress. Now that this has happened, he wondered how heartbroken his young master would be, and how he would explain it to his young mistress when he got back.
"It's not your fault. Pack your things and let's leave as soon as possible." The Xu family had their own plans, and how could they stop Lai Cai?
"What about Miss Xu?" Lai Cai asked cautiously, after all, she had overheard outside that the eldest young master wanted to take Miss Xu as a concubine.
"Just take her with you. She's just a concubine. Do I have to carry her back in a sedan chair?" Xiao Siqi was extremely disgusted with Aunt Xu at this moment, so why would he give her any face?
When she was scheming against herself, didn't she ever think she'd end up as a concubine? Oh, she certainly didn't; she actually wanted to be a secondary wife.
"Yes, young master, I'll get ready right away."
Afterwards, Xiao Siqi took the unwilling Xu Rong home. Xu's family was naturally unwilling, but due to Xiao Siqi's status and their own guilty conscience, they dared not say anything more. After all, they had climbed up a high branch.
As Xiao Siqi spoke, his expression changed repeatedly. Xiao Siyue could tell that her older brother was very unwilling, and she felt very sad as well.
After learning the whole story, Xiao Siyue felt helpless. Who could she blame? Was it her older brother's poor judgment of character, or the Xu family's deep-seated scheming and manipulative nature?
However, Xiao Siyue suddenly remembered what she had seen in modern times: drunk people shouldn't have that kind of ability, let alone Xiao Siqi, who was so drunk that he didn't know anything, so how did he manage to have sex with Aunt Xu?
"Big brother, are you sure you slept with that Aunt Xu?" Xiao Siyue's words startled Xiao Siqi out of his thoughts.
"Little sister, how can you speak like that, a girl who hasn't even reached the age of marriage?" What do you mean by "slept"? Is this something a little girl should say?
"Big brother, I'm asking you a question. Can you please stop focusing on other things?" Xiao Siyue was also quite helpless. What had she said? She hadn't said anything offensive.
"Yes, I'm sure. I saw blood on the bed back then." Seeing that Xiao Siyue didn't care, Xiao Siqi stopped worrying about it. However, she thought that she should remind her grandmother later and ask her to teach her younger sister a lesson.
"Brother, what does bloodstains represent? Someone might be plotting against you. Maybe they cut their finger and got it on themselves. Besides, don't you feel anything?" She didn't believe it. Even if you haven't eaten pork, haven't you seen pigs run?
Xiao Siqi thought back carefully. When he woke up that day, apart from a headache from a hangover, he didn't feel anything else. Did he really sleep with Xu Shi? Cough cough, Xiao Siqi coughed twice. Why was he talking nonsense along with his little sister? What do you mean, "slept together"?
"Big brother, why are you coughing? Is your wound hurting?" Xiao Siyue asked, puzzled.
"No, no, I was thinking about something," Xiao Siqi quickly waved her hand.
Thinking that there might not have been anything between him and Aunt Xu at all, Xiao Siqi's resentment dissipated considerably, and he realized that he had not betrayed his wife.
“Yue’er, you’re right. Perhaps there really isn’t anything between me and Aunt Xu. I will investigate this matter. If it’s true that there’s nothing between us, I hope Yue’er can put in a good word for me with your sister-in-law.” Xiao Siqi cupped his hands towards Xiao Siyue.
"I'm not helping you. If there's really nothing wrong, then you're just too stupid and deserve to be punished. Let your sister-in-law give you a good cold shoulder so you'll learn your lesson and see if you'll dare to make friends so casually again, or if you'll dare to get drunk again." Xiao Siyue relaxed a lot at this point and even started joking with Xiao Siqi.
"Yes, yes, Yue'er is right. It's all because I'm too stupid. I should learn my lesson. I will try my best to get your sister-in-law to forgive me. But Yue'er, please have pity on me and don't let your sister-in-law ignore me for too long." Xiao Siqi smiled and softened his stance.
"Hmph, that depends on your performance." Xiao Siyue raised her head arrogantly.
Xiao Siqi smiled indulgently, knowing that Xiao Siyue had agreed.
Xiao Siyue's words carried far more weight with Qu Yin than his own. With Xiao Siyue's help, he could gain Qu Yin's forgiveness sooner and have his beloved wife in his arms.
"Alright, brother, get some rest. I'll be going now. I wish you a speedy recovery and that you can reconcile with your wife." Xiao Siyue had been staying with Xiao Siqi for quite some time, so she didn't plan to linger any longer.
"Okay, let Lai Cai see you out."
"No need, it's my own home, no need to see me off." Xiao Siyue waved her hand and walked out.
I didn't expect that Aunt Xu would still be outside. She's really patient. She must have been inside for at least half an hour.
Recalling Xiao Siqi's words, it seems that this Aunt Xu is not so easy to deal with. We must remind our family to be on guard to avoid falling into her trap, especially my sister-in-law and the two children.
Xiao Siyue glanced at Aunt Xu and was about to leave, but was stopped by her.
"Siyue, does Qilang still refuse to see me?" Aunt Xu asked, looking aggrieved.
“Aunt Xu, this is a matter between you and your elder brother. You should ask your elder brother.”
"I knew I fainted before Qi Lang was still angry, and I didn't speak up for him, but I really didn't mean to. I was just too worried about Qi Lang. Si Yue, could you please plead for me?" Aunt Xu spoke softly and weakly, looking as if she might collapse at any moment.
Xiao Siyue was speechless. What did she mean by that? What did it matter to her older brother whether she was dizzy or not? If she spoke up for her older brother, would Grandpa stop hitting him?
"Aunt Xu, you're overthinking it. Your elder brother didn't blame you for this. You're just imagining things."
"I knew Qi Lang wouldn't blame me. She took such good care of me before. He must have been afraid that I would feel guilty if I saw his wound, which is why he wouldn't let me in. But why would I be afraid? I just feel sorry for him." Aunt Xu suddenly became shy.
Xiao Siyue rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. Look at what he was saying! If she didn't know the situation between the two of them, she would really think that her older brother doted on this Aunt Xu.
Xiao Siyue was too lazy to waste her breath on her. She was so prone to overthinking things; she should eat more walnuts, otherwise she wouldn't get enough nutrition.
"If Aunt Xu has nothing else to do, she should go back. It wouldn't be good if she fainted in this heat," Xiao Siyue said before turning and leaving.
Seeing that Xiao Siyue had left, Aunt Xu decided not to wait there any longer. She got up and went to her own courtyard. She was indeed quite tired. She could just pretend for a while and there was no need to make things difficult for herself. There was plenty of time in the future, wasn't there?
