Even though Xun Yiming had been replaced by the cunning and cunning soul from his previous life, when he thought about his current situation, he couldn't help but feel a little panicked. Everything was different from his previous life. His starting point was much lower, and there was no one around him who could help him. On the contrary, he is always a drag. Can he still climb to as high a position as he did in his previous life?
Xun Yiming only felt extremely irritated. His life was so perfect in his previous life. Why did God let him live this completely different life? Even if he is decades younger, he is not happy at all. After all, who has been a powerful man for a long time and can get used to being a lowly and unsatisfactory petty official again?
"Husband, how are you now? Let the doctor take a look." Xiuniang ushered in an old doctor.
Xun Yiming allowed the doctor to take his pulse, and then asked Xiuniang: "Is there any news about my sister?" He now couldn't care less that his wife was not Zhou Duanrong, a lady from a big family, but Xiu Niang from a small family.
Xiuniang saw that her husband was not in good health and was still worried about her sister, so she said angrily: "No! Husband, you have been looking for her for so long and you have already exhausted all your kindness and righteousness. Why continue? Grandfather, grandmother and Father and the others gave up..."
"Shut up! Yuan'er is my only sister, and I will never give up on her." Xun Yiming said to Xiu Niang with cold eyes. He indeed loved this sister who depended on each other very much. He couldn't help but get angry when he heard Xiu Niang's words. .
Xiu Niang had no choice but to lower her head and remain silent. She didn't have any good impressions of this little sister-in-law. She was unruly and willful, but she was also very stupid. No, she actually caused a scandal of eloping with someone, which made the family uneasy.
After taking Xun Yiming's pulse, the doctor wrote a prescription and said, "Master Xun is fine. He is just angry and overworked recently, and his mind is a little damaged. He just needs to rest for a few days and he will be fine."
After Xiuniang sent the doctor out, Xun Yiming couldn't sleep. After experiencing such a big thing as his reincarnation and his sister's elopement, how could he still sleep?
He tossed and turned in bed for most of the night. It was not until midnight that he managed to sleep for a while. When he woke up the next day, he was even more haggard and lacked energy. However, he was still thinking about Xun Linyuan, so he held on. He roused himself to start asking about finding his sister.
Not surprisingly, there was still no result at all. Xun Yiming could only worry, and because his current official position was too low, he could not mobilize more manpower and resources to search.
He wanted to go out and look for it himself, but his body didn't allow it, so he could only stay in bed.
"How are Brother Yuan and Brother Jing doing with their studies now? Have they asked a teacher to enlighten them?" Xun Yiming remembered that he had two sons at his age in his previous life, so he asked Xiuniang that although his wife had changed, the child should not be able to Change it? he thought uncertainly.
However, Xiu Niang asked him with a confused look: "Who are Brother Yuan and Brother Jing?"
Xun Yiming was immediately shocked. Could it be that his two smart and lovely sons were gone? ! Seeing Xiu Niang's probing eyes, he sneered quickly and said, "It's nothing. I suddenly thought of the two children from my relatives. By the way, where are our children? I'm sick. Don't they come to visit me as my father?"
When Xun Yiming accepted the memory last night, he only glanced through it quickly, focusing only on important things and not paying attention to other small things at all, and children fell into the category of "little things", so he "stumbled" at this moment.
Xiu Niang was shocked. She said in panic: "Husband! You must have hurt your brain. Where do we have children? Are you confused?"
"We don't have children? Not one?" Xun Yiming had a bad premonition in his heart. In his previous life, at this age, his two sons could run around and start studying, but now he doesn't have any children?
Xiu Niang broke his illusion mercilessly and said: "Husband, we really don't have children yet. I've given you several concubines in the past few years, but none of them are pregnant... But the doctor said it's possible It's just that our child came late, so we don't need to worry too much..."
Xun Yiming no longer had the heart to listen to her consolation. He was wondering why he was so unhappy in this world. His wife changed people, his children disappeared, and his beloved sister eloped with someone and did not know whether he was alive or dead...
Why has he fallen to this point?
Xun Yiming racked his brains to find out the reason, but after much deliberation, he only found one reason that he didn't want to admit, but was the most reasonable one, that is, in this world, his stepmother and aunt were from the very beginning. After he died, he was unable to marry into the Xun family, and it was impossible to raise the two brothers and sisters responsibly. It was impossible to take care of the family affairs for his father, so that his father could work hard in the officialdom without any worries, and give him a brilliant starting point...
And his sister, without the careful guidance of her stepmother, became stupid and willful, so she did the stupid thing of running away with others, which directly ruined her life.
When Cao Shichu was working conscientiously for the Xun family, what did he think of her? He felt that this stepmother was so stupid, without any scheming, that she actually treated the child left behind by her original wife as her own and taught him to become a talented person without any reservation.
At first Xun Yiming secretly despised her in his heart, feeling that he had her under his control, so he had a sense of superiority in front of her. He even felt that it was her honor that he and his sister were willing to be raised by her...
But now it seems that Xun Yiming has to admit that without Cao Shichu as his stepmother, their Xun family will be in a mess.
In his previous life, he actually didn't care at all that his father abandoned his stepmother and sent her to the family temple, and he didn't even think about going over to see her, take care of her, and make her feel better. He was busy trying to please his boss, make friends with colleagues, and talk to concubines. Enjoyment... Where can I give it to a stepmother who has long been useless?
He knew that his sister had slandered her, and his father also knew that, but what did it matter? Someone has to be responsible for whatever the sister accidentally causes. Instead of letting her reputation be damaged, it would be better for her, the stepmother, to make another contribution. Doesn't it mean that she treats the brothers and sisters as her own children? In this case, isn't it right to sacrifice yourself for your daughter? Therefore, they sacrificed Cao Shichu with confidence and without any guilt.
Now that Xun Yiming thinks of these past events, he can't help but wonder, is everything he and the other Xun family members have suffered in this world, retribution for using and framing an innocent person in his previous life?
Was it his sister's destiny to elope? She was destined to have a bad end if she did such a thing, so was he trying to atone for her sins in her previous life?
