Did I say something wrong? Lu Anyuan felt that he should take back the oath he had just made, but his fingers were stiff and he couldn't move.
"I believe you." Xu Yixing said this softly, and lowered his head to play with his fingers again.
Mother? So you always tell lies that involve your mother.
Lu Anyuan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Yixing believed in himself, everything would be fine.
The carriage stopped again at the small path at the side door of Xu's mansion. Xu Yixing jumped out of the carriage and hurried into the mansion without saying goodbye.
When I arrived at Yiwen's yard, I saw Xu Yiwen had already returned in his own car.
Xu Yiwen grabbed her and pulled her into the room.
"Sister! How's it going? Did he do anything to you?"
"Of course not. I said I was testing whether he had any bad intentions, and he believed it." Xu Yixing sat down and poured himself tea and drank water. The panic he had just felt had disappeared.
"Is this possible?" Then he is either sick physically or mentally.
"Yeah. Alas! What a pity our plan failed."
When Xu Yiwen heard this, he felt that something was wrong. This sister didn't seem to have any intention of stopping. Was she going to do it again?
"What else do you want to do? He can even forgive you for this kind of temptation, which shows that he really cares about you. My good sister, just marry him peacefully!"
"Humph, it's a pity that he didn't tell the truth. I gave him a chance, but he didn't want it."
"Then you, what are your plans?" This time he had to listen attentively. If he continued to behave this outrageously, he would tell his father no matter what, and he had to put his sister under house arrest as well.
"I haven't thought about it yet. Let's talk about it later. Good night, brother." Xu Yixing smiled, raised his leg and walked out, leaving Xu Yiwen stunned.
Humph, as soon as I saw Xu Yiwen's face, I knew he was planning to be a traitor. If I tell him my plan, he might turn around and tell my dad. I won't tell him!
When I returned to the room, only Si Wen was still guarding the empty house. Everyone else had gone on vacation as they had agreed.
"Why don't you go out and play? Didn't I say it's a holiday?"
Si Wen looked nervous and walked over: "Miss, after you left, Yingyi came to see me and said he had something to report."
"Oh! What's the matter? Where are they?" It turned out that he couldn't find Ying Wu and Ying Jiu, so he went to look for Si Wen.
"Already gone."
"Gone? Then when will you come back?"
"I'll just report to you..." Si Wen was a little nervous, but Xu Yixing looked at her with admiration.
"Ying Yi said that everyone has gradually withdrawn; Wu Xueyan has now reached the southern border, but the people chasing her from the Second Prince have not yet withdrawn, and I'm afraid it will be even more dangerous later;
Gao Yao's family moved quickly, perhaps because they were afraid we would cause them trouble. They seemed to have already passed Cangzhou and were about to leave the country by water.
The midwife who delivered Madam Bai back then has also been found. She is the most famous Grandma He in the capital. She lives in the south of the city. She is over seventy years old and many princes and nobles have asked her to deliver their babies.
"Si Wen, you're right! You're worthy of being my man!" Xu Yixing patted Si Wen's shoulder to show his encouragement. "Now do you know how to pass the message to the Shadow Guard?"
"I know everything, but I haven't practiced it yet, so I'm not very familiar with it."
"Okay. Then tell Yingyi, first, Wu Xueyan told them to find a way to bring me back to the capital and hide me there, to prevent me from being killed. Second, Gao Yao must be brought back, even if she's already in Fusang. Third, this is for you. Accompany me to visit Grandma He's home in the south of the city tomorrow."
"Yes. But Miss, why are you looking for Granny He?"
In this regard, Boss Wen is not as good as Shadow Guard, as Shadow Guard will not ask for these reasons.
"Of course, we're asking about Madam Bai. Let's keep a low profile and not let anyone know."
"Oh... I thought it was..." Si Wen shook her head and swallowed the words. However, Xu Yixing saw her expression and knew something was wrong, so he continued to ask.
"What do you think?"
"I thought you were going to ask about your mother..."
"I was originally asking my mother... Wait! Was Aunt Liu also delivered by Granny He?" Xu Yixing shuddered and seemed to understand.
"Yes, not only Madam Bai and Concubine Liu, but also Concubine He, the eldest son's mother, were all delivered by Granny He."
"Ah?!" At first, Xu Yixing had only thought that it was Granny Gu who had the midwife kill the two concubines, but now, it was said that all three wives in his family died at the hands of Granny He? How could she have the nerve to say that she was the most famous midwife!
"Then, she delivered so many women who died in labor. How could she survive? Why didn't those nobles kill her?"
Si Wen's brows knitted together, somewhat painfully. "This concubine Liu didn't die during childbirth. Concubine He's fetus was in an abnormal position at the time, and both mother and child should have died. Granny He managed to save the eldest son. As for Madam Bai, this servant is not sure."
Xu Yixing took a few steps back. Is this really the case?
If that's the case, then I really misunderstood.
That seemed to be true. A midwife who had been so popular in the capital for over twenty years must have excellent skills. It seemed that I could only wait until I saw her tomorrow to know if there were any harem factors involved.
"Okay, you go back first and pass on what I just said to Yingyi. Thank you for your hard work."
Xu Yixing sat on the bed and digested the information he had just received.
For now, his energy should be focused on getting rid of the Seventh Prince. Since ruining his reputation is not feasible, the only option is to make himself infamous.
This plan of killing 800 enemies and losing 1,200 of one's own, I didn't expect Xu Yixing would be forced to this point.
What if I never married? Even if I could just be with the ancient Buddha and the green lamp, it would be better than trusting the wrong person! At worst, I could just follow the shadow guard and escape from the city, becoming a fugitive. It wouldn't be a big deal.
However, we can't be too hasty about this matter. In fact, today's plan is still somewhat feasible. As long as I can make Lu Anyuan do something that hurts me, I will definitely make him feel guilty enough to break off the engagement.
All efforts were in vain!
A large part of the reason was that the planning time was too short. It had taken him at least three months to kill Mrs. Gu, but now it only took him half a day to execute such a large plan. It was really out of place.
I was careless and underestimated the enemy!
Xu Yixing didn't even blame Yi Wen for his recklessness. He had been dragged into this situation by him, and he had already done a good job. What a pity! The same trick couldn't be used a second time. The next time he attacked, he had to hit the target with one strike!
There are only two months left. If something irreversible happens before the wedding, both Yi Yan and I will finally be free from suffering. We must hold steady!
