Xu Yixing died on the third day of her marriage. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself transformed into the unmarried concubine sister of her own household. Reborn, she felt no joy of s...
Xu Yixing looked at his father. That's right, how could his father care about him in front of that fake guy? He saw that "Xu Yixing" had red eyes at this moment, and it looked like he had just cried.
"Xu Yixing": "Dad, forget it, let's hurry up and bury Madam..."
It was already hard enough for Old Man Xu to see his daughter burst into tears, but now that his daughter had spoken, there was no way he would disobey. So he waved his hand and ordered the coffin bearers to carry the coffin out.
As she passed by Xu Yixing, she stared intently at the person lying inside. Yes, it was her... The nanny's face was pale, but her expression was peaceful. Her clothes were neat and there were no visible injuries. It seemed that the Sun family had already tidied her up.
Xu Yixing already had a knee injury, and after running all day, she was having trouble standing. But the pain in her heart was even worse than the pain in her leg, and it was so painful that she couldn't breathe.
She stood at the gate of the courtyard, holding the door tightly with one hand, and only then did she restrain herself from leaving with the coffin.
"Dad, Mom, I heard early this morning that something happened in the Sun Mansion, so I rushed here in a hurry. I broke the rules, please punish me." Since Nanny Bai's death is a foregone conclusion and he is powerless to save her, then saving himself is the most important thing.
Who has time to care about this matter now? After all, they are not in the mansion. But Xu Yixing said this just to let Gu go back and not cause trouble for him. Otherwise, leaving the mansion without permission would be a crime after all.
As expected, seeing his youngest daughter's decent behavior, Father Xu casually said, "You're concerned about your sister," and that was it. He turned around and went back to caring for the imposter. Sun Ziyou was also beside her, carefully wiping her tears with a handkerchief.
Seeing Sun Ziyou again, Xu Yixing felt an indescribable bitterness in his mouth. They had been so sweet and inseparable for the first two days. Why on the third day, he took the wine Si Wu brought and tricked him into drinking it? Even when he was lying, he was still as gentle as water, with a smile in his eyes.
Everyone in the courtyard followed the fake Xu Yixing out, and the Sun couple followed behind, chatting casually with Gu. Xu Yixing followed at the end and quietly told Siqin to find a way to see if there was anything on the beams of Nanny Bai's house.
When they were almost in the main hall, Gu suddenly turned around and said to the dazed Xu Yixing, "Don't follow me. Go home and tell your brother to come quickly. Tell him that Aunt Bai is sad that your sister has passed away, and ask him to come and comfort you."
Xu Yixing knew that Gu felt that he was a bit of an eyesore here, so it would be better to replace him with Yi Wen, who could also get closer to the young masters of the Duke's Mansion.
"Yes." Xu Yixing was not interested in this to begin with. When he heard her say that, he quickly left the team.
"Si Hua, go home first and tell my brother what mother said just now. I...I will be back right away."
Si Hua was worried about her young lady, and seeing that Si Qin had disappeared, she was unwilling to leave.
"It's okay, Si Wen is here, everything will be fine."
Hearing her say this, Si Hua had no choice but to go back.
There was no one around. Xu Yixing held Si Wen with one hand and pressed his other hand against his heart, breathing hard. "Si Wen, tell me, what's going on?"
Si Wen's expression was tense as he quickly explained the situation. "Two days ago, after you left, Nanny Bai told me that if anything unexpected happened in the mansion, I had to find a way to find you."
It was indeed so... It was me, I was the one who killed Aunt Bai...
After I left that day, Nanny Bai must have gone to see the fake Xu Yixing, and must have discovered that there was something wrong with her, which is why she gave Si Wen such instructions at night.
"Anything else?" Xu Yixing's mind was confused, like a blind man walking in the fog, feeling dizzy from time to time.
"No more. After that day, Nanny Bai hasn't come to the front yard to serve. I thought she and the young lady were still quarreling, so I didn't pay attention. Who would have thought that today..."
"But is there anything else unusual? Did she see anyone do anything yesterday?"
"I'm serving in the front yard. I don't know what's going on with Madam."
Xu Yixing was desperate. It seemed that they must have discovered the flaw of the nanny, which led to her being killed.
"One last question. Where are they going to bury Aunt Bai's body?"
"She said Madam had an acute illness and was afraid it might be contagious, so she had to go get a fever."
"Burn?" Destroy the body and eliminate all traces! We can't wait any longer, we must stop the group of people carrying the coffin!
Xu Yixing's heartbeat quickened, and he immediately felt his strength return. He quickly ran in the direction of the coffin-carrying team, and didn't forget to tell Si Wen: "You go back, be careful of Si Wu..."
Si Wen felt extremely nervous when he heard the last few words flying in the air. Things have been really a bit turbulent lately.
Xu Yixing chased after him through a side door of the Sun Mansion. He had only run a short distance when he felt his chest was about to explode. "Damn it, Xu Yiyan, don't you fucking exercise regularly?! Damn it!"
He was so busy cursing that he just walked out of the alley when a carriage passed by. Xu Yixing had no time to avoid it and with a thud, he hit the wall of the carriage and fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Yi Yan, Miss Yi Yan? Wake up..."
It's a male voice. I seem to have heard it before, but I'm not familiar with it. Who is it?
Xu Yixing slowly opened his eyes and felt pain in his head, hands, legs, and feet.
"Seventh Prince?" She didn't even care about the pain. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw that face. Who else could it be but the Seventh Prince?
No! The last time I saw him was two years ago at the horse race, but Xu Yiyan didn't go at that time. I have no idea whether they knew each other or when they met.
But I just heard him call Yi Yan's name, and he called it so... kindly?
Well, it seems we know each other.
The seventh prince's name was Lu Anyuan. His mother was just one of the emperor's many concubines who died young, so he was not much favored by the emperor and was just an unfavored prince. However, Lu was the imperial surname and was extremely noble, so Xu Yixing did not dare to neglect him.
"Your Highness, your humble servant greets you!" Xu Yixing quickly stood up and saluted. When she realized that she was alone in a carriage with the Seventh Prince, she felt that her time was up.
It’s over... I’m going to be beaten to death.
If my father knew about this, not to mention that I am just the unappreciated Xu Yiyan, even if it is Xu Yixing, if my father knew that a man and a woman were alone in a room with a prince, he would definitely kill me and wipe out the family!
Lu Anyuan seemed to see her panic and despair, and comforted her: "Miss Yi Yan, please don't worry, no one saw what happened here just now. I helped you up because I was worried that something might happen to you. There are guards around here, no one will know."
"Your Highness... why are you here?"
"I just heard that something happened at the Duke's Mansion, and even General Xu and Madam Gu came. I happened to be nearby, so I came to see what was going on."
