Rules of Succession for the Crown Prince
The housekeeper's face turned red with embarrassment, and the little guy, who didn't seem to have any discernible personality, suddenly spoke up in a serious tone: "Due to our young master's frail health, we hope to find someone to temporarily replace him and attend classes at An Nan Academy's private school for a period of time."
"What? You can't be asking me to substitute for your family's young master?"
Yi Xiao You was flabbergasted, how could such a ridiculous thing happen to her? Posing as their young master to attend school, what if she got discovered? Moreover, the situation at home had not been settled yet. The incident of being expelled from middle school, she didn't know how to deal with it either.
"You don't have to worry... Young Master's appearance has always been a mystery, never publicly disclosed. As for your family, I'll take care of it, I'll tell them you got into Annan Academy..." The butler had already investigated Yi Xiaoyou thoroughly before bringing him here.
"But... I'm a girl, isn't your young master a boy?" Although, hearing the butler say this, it would indeed solve some of her troubles, but the key point was that she was a girl, she was a girl! At this moment, how she wished she were a boy instead.
"This doesn't matter! You've always looked quite androgynous, as long as you wear men's clothes, no one can tell that you're a girl. At first, when they brought you over, everyone thought you were a boy, until an hour ago when we checked all your information and found out you're actually a girl."
For this, the steward also broke a sweat! To think that this matter, Young Master was completely unaware of it, everything was his own doing, no choice, tomorrow he would formally enter the Wang Chu class, for the time being, couldn't find a suitable candidate, might as well just go along with the mistake.
“……”
Yi Xiao You felt a bit depressed, she knew she looked very delicate, could be male or female, but did Grandfather have to say it so explicitly? She knew she was flat-chested, but her gender was still female, wasn't it? What's with saying that once she wore men's clothes, no one would be able to tell she was a woman.
"Xiao You, just stay here and be at ease! You should know that the young master's learning environment is a thousand times better than the school you got into. You should cherish it well. Your parents have worked hard their whole lives just so you could get into a good school. Now, as long as you're willing to substitute for the young master, everything will be fine. Why not take advantage of this opportunity? Ordinary people can't even find a good deal with a lantern in hand!"
The housekeeper still spoke with a bitter tone, saying that it's better to let her willingly replace the young master rather than forcing her, which would also provide some guarantee.
"Alright then..."
She fell silent again, and after a fierce struggle in her mind, Yi Xiaoyu decided to accept the matter. It was indeed a rare opportunity that would be hard to find even with a lantern, and it would kill two birds with one stone. Why should she still pretend to decline?
"By the way... what's your young master's name?" She really admired the methods of the wealthy, wanting to know something and finding out with just one inquiry. The housekeeper had been calling him "young master" all along, but she still didn't know the name of this frail and sickly young master she was supposed to replace.
"Young master is the heir of the Li family, named Li Chengxi. Remember that, nothing else, I'll take my leave first. Take good rest, tomorrow you will formally meet with other heirs in class."
The housekeeper said as he snatched the vase from Yi Xiaoyu's hand, then walked away with a satisfied smile, hugging the vase.
But Yi Xiaoyu, still lost in thought, muttered unconsciously: "Li, Cheng, Xi?"
"What's wrong with you? What kind of person are you?"
"Am I going to be called this name from now on?" Yi Xiao Yu found everything that happened today unbelievable. It felt like a dream, inexplicably replacing a rich young master to go to school. Probably, in this lifetime, the most absurd thing he had ever done was this one.
