When Xu Yixing saw his uncle's expression as if he had seen a ghost, he knew that he was right to hide his identity from everyone.
"And I remember that when I was a child, I went to my uncle's house and happened to see my aunt and uncle arguing. The one they were arguing about was a girl named Yunxiu..." Here came the trump card. Xu Yixing said in his heart that he was sorry. Although this is your privacy, isn't it just right to use it to prove your identity?
"Stop, stop, stop!" Bai Yu quickly waved his hands. How could Yunxiu's story have surfaced again after so many years? But now he truly realized who she was. When they had argued, he had deliberately sent the children away, but when he opened the door, he found little Yixing standing awkwardly at the door, holding a snack in her hand. If she hadn't been young and ignorant at the time, Bai Yu would have wanted to hide in the ground.
But now, she still understands...
"Okay?" Bai Yu tried to say, and in an instant, his long-held doubts seemed to be explained. For example, why was she so concerned about the cause of Miss Xu's death, why did she hate the Xu family so much, why was she so concerned about the affairs of the Bai family, and why did she easily subdue the shadow guard? It turned out that there were traces of this all along.
Xu Yixing smiled, feeling relieved. The secret didn't seem to have much of an impact on her, but her palms were sweating when she spoke. "Uncle."
When Bai Yu called him "uncle", he could clearly hear the mixed emotions in her thoughts. It was indeed different from how she had called him before. Could it be true?
"You, how did you become like this?" Bai Yu stared at Xu Yixing's face carefully. His first reaction was to see if this was a disguise.
"Well, to be honest, I don't know. I was indeed dead, and then, I woke up as Yi Yan." Xu Yixing picked out some of these strange things and told Bai Yu a story that made him sweat. This story was too outrageous, wasn't it? But because it was outrageous, people believed it. After all, no one would make up a story that no one would believe. What's the point?
After hearing this, Bai Yu just felt that he might have been hallucinating because he had stayed in the car for too long. What were these?
"You...you, does anyone else know your identity?"
"Lu Anyuan knew. He was quite familiar with Yi Yan and realized long ago that I wasn't her. He even forced me to tell him. I only told him to save my life."
"Oh!" Bai Yu relaxed and moved closer to the carriage wall, thinking to himself, no wonder the Seventh Prince actually asked to marry a concubine of the Xu family, and even had the nerve to ask Madam Jing and the Emperor for permission. It turned out to be for Yixing. Puff, thinking of this, he wanted to laugh. When Lu Anyuan first broke the news, everyone must have laughed their faces off, right?
"Your father doesn't know?"
"At first, I didn't dare to tell him, for fear that he would think I was a monster. But later, when the shadow guards were investigating the Sun family, they gradually brought up some of my father's past, and I became even more reluctant to tell him."
Bai Yu suddenly felt pity in his heart. If this was true, and he found out during the investigation that his father was the murderer who killed his mother, I wonder how many times this child must have struggled before finally making the decision.
"No wonder, so now only King Xiaoyi and I know your identity?" Shadow guards don't count. In Bai Yu's mind, shadow guards are only loyal to their masters. They must know her identity. No wonder she turned against them so easily.
"Yes." Since her uncle didn't ask the shadow guard, she naturally didn't say anything. Besides, the shadow guard really didn't know.
"Then what is your purpose in telling me today?" Bai Yu didn't believe that she suddenly told him her identity and came to recognize her relatives. Even if it was true, she must have an ulterior motive.
"Well... Uncle, I want to do something, but it's not convenient for Lu Anyuan to know about it, so I want to borrow someone from you."
"Borrow someone?" Bai Yu glanced at Ying Wu, who was outside, through the carriage curtain. The implication was that he was asking for someone and not letting Prince Xiaoyi know, so he quickly realized that since they were asking him to borrow someone, then it must be something inside the palace.
"What are you going to do?" Bai Yu's heart was almost tense. He heard clearly what the emperor said during the last autumn hunt. Could it be that this child wanted to do something bad to the emperor?
"Uncle, don't worry. I didn't mean to do anything. I just felt that the emperor didn't like me very much. I thought that if there was someone around the emperor who would always speak well of me, I would feel more at ease." Of course, I couldn't say openly that I wanted to kill the emperor. Even if you could guess it with a ten-to-ten accuracy, I couldn't tell you.
"Heh." Bai Yu naturally didn't believe it. He had already moved to the car door and it was obvious that he didn't want to have this conversation anymore.
"Uncle, you don't have to agree to me immediately. I'll wait. If you are willing to lend me someone, just send a message directly to your house." Xu Yixing tapped the carriage board with two fingers, and the carriage stopped immediately. His uncle was not as easy to fool as Yiwen, so he had to give him time to find out clearly.
Bai Yu turned around and was about to jump off the carriage, but suddenly turned back and stuck his head back into the carriage. "Xing'er, do you remember that year when we celebrated your future mother, Gu's, birthday at the farm in the north? Who made the roast venison and duck soup we had?"
"Ah? How would I know?" Xu Yixing blurted out the words in a moment of distraction. After a pause, he realized, "My uncle is testing me. That year, Gu Shuang celebrated her birthday at the farm when I was ill. Nanny Bai didn't take me with her, but she brought Yi Yan and Yi Wen. How would I know who cooked what you were eating?"
Bai Yu let out a long sigh, and looked at her with a hint of apology in his eyes: "That's right, I forgot." After saying that, he got out of the car with peace of mind. Then he said seriously through the window: "The matter of Yunxiu is indeed a long time ago. Don't mention it in front of your aunt."
Xu Yixing lifted the curtain and saw his uncle walking quickly towards the edge of the woods. His face was filled with joy. "Are you still afraid that my aunt will be jealous at this time?"
But when he told me this, he was at least 50% sure of his identity. Otherwise, there would be no need to test or explain these things.
Watching Bai Yu walk away, Ying Wu bowed deeply to Xu Yixing and said, "Master, your trick is truly amazing. You actually managed to convince Commander Bai that you are Miss Xu. I admire you." He had just been driving the horses outside the carriage, and when he heard halfway through, he wanted to jump in and save her. This was too much! Who knew Commander Bai actually believed it? He was indeed a master, and his first move was a big one.
Xu Yixing rolled his eyes. This was my true feelings, how did it become a conspiracy in your eyes? "Forget it, go back. Be careful these few days. If there are any letters from the Bai Mansion, give them to me immediately. Stay away from Lu Anyuan."
"Yes." Ying Wu was in a good mood. For some reason, he really wanted to do something big. It was really worthwhile to follow his master, so he drove the carriage back to the city.
