Xu Yixing kept chattering, and Yingyi suddenly knelt on his knees: "Yingyi greets the master!" Then he tore off the black cloth on his face, looked up and looked directly at Xu Yixing.
Xu Yixing didn't react much and glanced at the second person.
"Ying Er greets the master!" He also knelt on his knees and took off his mask.
. . .
"Ying Jiu greets the master!"
In the end, within a cup of tea, Si Wen was the only one left standing in the room. She was stunned. How could this be? He was supposed to be the young lady's shadow guard, so how could he be someone else in the blink of an eye?
"Everyone, get up." Xu Yixing waved her hand domineeringly. She felt that she was now in control of thousands of troops and had a feeling of being a female general.
"yes!"
"I just said that Si Wen should take over Nanny Bai's job. Do you have any objections?"
"Second Miss!" This time it was Si Wen himself who called out, anxiously, fearing that if these people agreed, he would inexplicably become the leader of the shadow guards.
Si Wen swallowed his saliva and said, "Second Miss, I don't understand these things. Let's change someone else."
"Si Wen, do you know what my sister regrets the most?"
Si Wen shook his head.
"What she regretted was that she didn't trust the people around her wholeheartedly when she was alive. When Si Wu was in power, she promoted you to share power, which led to Si Wu's dissatisfaction and betrayal. When Nanny Bai asked her to recognize the Shadow Guards, she felt that a group of burdens were unnecessary, which led to her tragic death in the Sun Mansion, and Nanny Bai also lost her life.
So Siwen, I won’t make the same mistake.
Since I'm employing you, I must trust you wholeheartedly. These shadow guards were left by Old Master Bai for my sister. Now that they've acknowledged me, I will definitely protect them well and not let any of them be harmed for no reason."
These words were not only spoken to the people in the room, but also to Xu Yixing himself. In the past, because of his willful shortsightedness, he had already killed many people. Now that he had the opportunity to start over, he must seize it.
I don't know what words touched Si Wen, but she suddenly turned around and wiped her tears with her sleeve. Xu Yixing didn't rush, but waited quietly. When she finished crying, he agreed.
Siwen was still very young, so it was impossible to expect her to completely replace Nanny Bai. But Xu Yixing was not in a hurry, as she had plenty of time to train Siwen.
"Since you have acknowledged your master, my first task for you is to track down all the lost items in the mansion, including those that were stolen from the warehouse last time, and those that were brought to the Sun Mansion but disappeared."
"Yes, we have been investigating these, but we haven't found any clues yet."
"Well, secondly, you must find a way to keep an eye on Sun Ziyou. Don't let him die, at least not before I see him. I know it's difficult to get into the Heavenly Prison, but you must have your own way. Just make sure he doesn't get poisoned or commit suicide."
"Yes." Ying Yi agreed, but he still had some thoughts in his heart. Now, apart from the Xu family, who else would most want to kill his grandson You? Isn't this just defending himself?
"Third, the people who stay with me will remain the same. Shadow Five and Shadow Nine will take turns."
"That's natural."
When Ying Jiu heard this, he raised his chest. He was still a little upset about being replaced last time. Now that he had recognized his master, he was of course happy to be able to stay with him again.
"Fourth, the house you live in now is too dilapidated. I'll pay for you to repair it."
Several people exchanged glances, and finally Ying Yi replied, "Master, I don't think this is necessary. This place is just a temporary stopover, and the brothers are all out looking for things, so there is no one here."
Xu Yixing thought it made sense, so he let it go. "So, will you follow me into the Seventh Prince's mansion in the future?"
"It depends on your needs."
Xu Yixing thought about it and decided to discuss this matter with Lu Anyuan later, after all, it was someone else’s home.
"That's it, get moving, I'm leaving first."
After leaving the courtyard where the shadow guards gathered, Xu Yixing hurried back. It would be troublesome if he stayed out for too long.
"Second Miss, what are those orders you just issued?"
"Si Wen, the Shadow Guards were here when my sister and Nanny Bai were killed, so they couldn't protect them. In fact, I hope you can continue to guard my sister's things in the future. The land, deeds, shops, trivial and troublesome things, you should learn to take care of them."
"Thank you for your kindness, Second Miss. I am willing to give it a try."
"Okay." Xu Yixing patted her shoulder, and seemed to understand why Lu Anyuan always liked to pat her.
After returning to the temple, Xu Yixing carefully worshipped the Buddha again and went down the mountain again.
Now the affairs of the Sun Mansion have come to an end. I will find an opportunity to meet Sun Ziyou in the future. Then as for Gu at home, I always feel that she is still restless, so I have to find an opportunity to teach her a lesson.
And Dad, this was also something that gave Xu Yixing a headache. If it was really proven that he had stolen his mother's belongings, what would he do?
Xu Yixing now has complicated feelings towards his father. On the one hand, he is grateful to him for planning to defeat the Sun family for him, and on the other hand, he is curious about what happened back then and wants to ask him about his illness. Moreover, he can now see clearly that his father is both partial and heartless, but he is his biological father after all, and he is not like Gu who has no family affection for him.
Oh! It's difficult!
Besides, it's already June, and the maid assigned by the palace has already moved in, making it even more inconvenient for me to go out. I still have to learn the etiquette and prepare for my wedding. When I get married, I'm afraid it will be a completely new world. Who knows what the next year will be like?
Xu Yixing was staggering towards home, but when he reached the north gate, he was stopped by someone.
"Excuse me, is the second young lady of the Xu family in the car?"
Xu Yixing opened his eyes and listened to the report from outside: "Second Miss, it's Third Miss Wu."
Wu Xueyan? This was an unexpected roadblock.
Xu Yixing got off the car and saw Wu Xueyan sitting on a horse, followed by a maid and two servants, all carrying luggage, as if they were going on a long journey.
"Second Miss, is it convenient?"
"Let's go." Xu Yixing mounted his horse and followed Wu Xueyan and the other two for a distance until they could no longer see the servants, and then they stopped.
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
"I came to thank you." Wu Xueyan dismounted, and Xu Yixing followed suit. The two began chatting in the forest next to the official road.
"You told me to wait until September, but I didn't expect something to happen in the Sun Mansion after that day. What a coincidence." Wu Xueyan seemed to be in a very bad mood. It was not known whether she was sick or in a bad mood.
"It's not a coincidence. I knew there was something wrong with my grandson, and I've been looking for an opportunity to expose him."
The two men dismounted and continued walking into the woods. Xu Yixing noticed that Wu Xueyan's right leg was lame, not at all like the last time they met.
"Actually, I've been having problems with my leg injury. It hasn't healed at all."
