Having made up his mind, Xu Yixing looked at himself in the silver mirror. Yi Yan's face was indeed very beautiful. It was such a pity that such a beautiful person would marry a bastard like Lu Anyuan.
After a good night's sleep, Xu Yixing found that his sleep became more and more peaceful. In the beginning, he would have some confusing dreams, but now he can sleep well all night. He didn't know if it was because he recalled his past memories.
After breakfast, he turned to Xu Yiwen's yard with a refreshed spirit - there was nothing left in his yard now. His father had sealed up all of his belongings, not just because he was afraid that seeing the things would remind him of him, but also for some other reason.
Yiwen is much better now, at least he can walk. Dad didn't hit him hard, it just looked scary, but no bones were broken.
Xu Yiwen was very happy to see Xu Yixing coming to visit him.
"Why are you here so early in the morning, sister? What's so important?" Xu Yiwen was smiling as he sipped a bowl of porridge.
"It's nothing serious, I just came to congratulate my brother." Xu Yixing pulled a stool and sat down, pretending to be very happy.
"Hahaha, the Sun family has finally been sentenced. God is truly merciful!"
"Yes, my sister's grievances can finally be clarified. But I do have something else I want to say to my brother, you see..." Xu Yixing glanced at the people in the room. He didn't know why Xu Yiwen loved the hustle and bustle so much. There were a bunch of people surrounding him in the room when he was eating. Would the food taste better this way?
"Oh, you all go down. You don't have to come in unless I tell you to." Xu Yiwen swallowed the porridge in his mouth, sat upright and listened carefully.
"Alas!" Before getting to the point, Xu Yixing wiped away his nonexistent tears with his sleeve, his face filled with sorrow. "Brother, I went to the Heavenly Prison yesterday to see my grandson You."
Although Xu Yiwen was surprised, he didn't think it was a big deal. Ever since his sister became close to the Seventh Prince, she had been secretive and often wandered around. He was still under house arrest, so he didn't have such good fortune.
"Then why are you in a bad mood after the meeting? But what nonsense did that person say to you?"
"Brother, do you know why the Sun family agreed to marry my sister?"
Xu Yiwen looked annoyed: "Didn't their family take the initiative to propose marriage? Humph, I didn't expect that they would change their minds just after they got married!"
"He told me that the Sun family wanted my sister's dowry."
"Ah?" Xu Yiwen had never thought about this. The Sun family was wealthy and powerful, with countless farmland and businesses, so they should not be short of money.
"The Sun family has many branches, a large number of staff, and high expenses, so they have been quite strapped for cash in recent years. They all know that Dad loves my sister and will definitely bring a large dowry, so they came up with this idea."
"Bah! Shameless black-hearted dog, you should be drowned in spit for coming up with this idea!" Xu Yiwen shook his sleeves angrily. In his mind, a man who uses a woman's dowry is the most useless.
"Yeah, I was also very angry when I heard it."
"Don't be too sad, sister. There's nothing you can do about what happened to me. It's all in the past, so there's no point thinking too much about it." Xu Yiwen touched her sleeve very gently. The embroidery on it had a raised feel and was quite delicate.
"But I always think that my sister and the Sun family are a good match, but something like this still happened. I am marrying into a wealthy family, and I don't know what will happen in the future." That's right, Xu Yixing's plan is to use Xu Yiwen as a shield and ask him to help him ruin this marriage.
"No, this is a marriage granted by His Majesty, and the Seventh Prince loves you so much. You have done him a favor and will never make the same mistake again!"
Xu Yixing shook his head, his expression again etched with the feeling of "nothing is more sorrowful than a broken heart." "So what if it's an arranged marriage? The royal family has arranged many arranged marriages, but how many of them have lived happily? Besides, the Seventh Prince is only expressing gratitude to me. After all, I was the one who planned most of it, so I'm afraid there will be problems in the future."
Xu Yiwen was a bit overwhelmed. You were the one who planned the marriage, and now that it's happening, why are you backing out? He admired his sister's scheming, but he also felt sorry for her having to calculate every step, which must be very tiring.
"But things have come to this, you can't just cancel the engagement, right?" It was just a joke, but Xu Yiwen immediately regretted it as he said it, because he saw a strange light flashing on his sister's face, as if she was waiting for him to say this.
"Brother, is there any way to help me break off the engagement?"
"Cough cough cough cough cough! Yi Yan, I, I didn't say anything. You think too highly of me. I, I don't have that much ability!"
Xu Yiwen begged for mercy again and again, what a joke, his father now cared most about his sister's engagement with the seventh prince, if the engagement was really cancelled because of what he had done, he would not be able to live anymore.
"Oh, brother! I don't want you to make any mistakes. You are my only brother, and I don't want anything to happen to you."
Hearing his sister say this, Xu Yiwen swallowed hard and steadied himself: "Then what do you mean?"
"That's right. For example, if the Seventh Prince makes some mistake that ruins his reputation, then we can cancel the engagement, right?" Xu Yixing stared at Xu Yiwen with anticipation in his eyes.
"My dear sister, what a huge mistake would it take for Father to decide to break off the engagement, leaving even the Emperor speechless? What you're saying is too bizarre."
Rebellion, regicide, and treason are certainly the best charges, but Lu Anyuan is not a fool, how could he make such a mistake? Xu Yixing has not lost her mind yet, so the mistakes she mentioned are certainly not these.
"It doesn't have to be a big one. Brother, can you help me arrange for him to go to a brothel or some place you guys frequent?"
Xu Yiwen's face darkened. "A place we often go to? How can it be so exaggerated?"
"Sister, even if the prince has a bad reputation for visiting prostitutes, no one will cancel the engagement because of this. At most, the emperor will reprimand him, but I'm afraid that won't achieve your goal."
"I know. That's why I'm going to catch him cheating. Once I can personally prove that he's going out and messing around with his wedding coming up, he'll have to back off even if he doesn't want to." Yes, what does it mean to be the emperor or his father? As long as Lu Anyuan makes a mistake, I'll confront him myself. I'm not afraid of scaring him off. If he's really a shameless person, then she has a trick up her sleeve.
"Wait, wait, sister. If I understand correctly, you want me to lure the Seventh Prince into making a mistake, and then you'll catch him in the act and force him to break off the engagement? Wouldn't that mean you're smearing your own reputation? Even if he manages to break off the engagement, who would dare to marry you in the future?"
Humph, it’s better not to marry her. Xu Yixing feels disgusted when he sees men now.
"Even if I don't marry him, it's better than marrying the wrong person. Brother, you don't even have to show up yourself. Just find an excuse and ask him out for me. Please, my sister's happiness depends on you!"
