After that, Xu Yiyan began to appear around the Seventh Prince intentionally or unintentionally, at palace banquets and mansion banquets.
But never break the rules, this is a greeting from a distance.
If there was a chance, she would show some concern for his health and worries. At the end of the conversation, she would always, intentionally or unintentionally, let out a hint that he was not having a good time in the general's mansion.
She knew that he would understand her. He was also born out of wedlock and his biological mother died early. He knew what it meant to be helpless and knew her own pain.
He is the one who can save himself.
If you ask him about love, Xu Yixing couldn't feel Yi Yan's love for him. Every time they met, it was a disguise, and he was always unintentionally sad. He never felt any excitement towards the person in front of him.
He is a lifeline, not a lover.
Xu Yixing watched Yi Yan's memories and felt heartbroken. He felt sorry for her calculating and forbearing in everything.
If Xu Yixing wanted to win people's hearts, she could use money, personal charm, her father's power, and Aunt Bai's love, but Yi Yan didn't have that. She had nothing.
She could only use this almost foolish and indiscriminate way of showing goodwill to help everyone around her, hoping that they would repay her in the future.
So sincere, so sad.
Until he met Lu Anyuan, Yi Yan finally didn't have to be such a fool anymore. As long as he could rely on the prince, his mother's revenge and his own future would be guaranteed.
She had never used the hairpin before. She knew that it was her amulet and should never be used unless absolutely necessary!
Until her sister's wedding was about to begin, Yi Yan thought about her own age and felt that it was almost time. So one day while watching the moon by the lake, she finally mustered up the courage, took the hairpin, and walked up to Lu Anyuan.
"Can you take me away from the Xu Mansion?"
She saw the Seventh Prince was stunned, and saw his eyes full of struggle. After a while, he took the hairpin.
"I'm sorry, Yi Yan, I already have a girl I like."
What? Isn't it me? Xu Yiyan looked up. In all the years he'd been with him, he'd never seen him like anyone. What was going on? This was...
"Who... is it? No! I don't want to know. Actually, as long as I can leave the Xu Mansion, I don't care. I don't care!" Yes, what's the big deal about liking someone? I don't like him either. This is fair.
"Yi Yan, I can't promise you, because the woman I like... is the best woman in the world. You are also the best woman, but you are not suitable for me. I'm sorry."
Laughter came from the lakeside. She and Lu Anyuan looked over. It was Xu Yixing in a red dress, sparring with some of her girlfriends.
Xu Yiyan shut up, she realized that she had made a serious mistake.
Who said he hadn't met the woman he liked? Every time he was in a place, there was always another person there, but he wasn't always where she was.
"You like my sister? You like Xu Yi..." Before she could finish, her mouth was covered.
"Don't say it, please, please."
Lu Anyuan's fingers were cold and even trembling slightly.
Xu Yixing:! ?
After a long time, he let go of Yi Yan. Yi Yan was still in disbelief: "You know she's getting married soon, she..."
"I know. I'm sorry Yi Yan, please change your request. Anything is fine."
Yi Yan didn't move, staring at him intently, as if she wanted to see through him. Is this what the savior she'd been waiting for all these years would look like? Even if they were just a couple in name only, it would be fine...
Then wouldn't all his plans over the years have come to nothing? No, no, no, it's too early to draw conclusions now. It's okay, it's okay. There must be other ways to get revenge. Even if I don't rely on the Seventh Prince, I can do it myself!
Xu Yiyan left, leaving behind a stubborn back to Lu Anyuan. It was at this moment that Lu Anyuan realized that the women of the Xu family really had some resilience in them. The seeds sprouted and broke through the soil, relying on this kind of resilience.
Then the memory brought Xu Yixing to the time before her wedding. Yi Yan checked carefully, quietly and carefully uncovered the mistakes made by Mrs. Gu, and recorded them one by one in the account book.
Yes, even though a seven-year-long "hope" was destroyed, Yi Yan almost immediately started the second plan, so decisively and ruthlessly.
Xu Yixing felt that he was not as good as her.
The headache finally stopped, and Yi Yan finally accepted himself and gave all his memories to Xu Yixing.
"Yingjiu, is Mrs. Gu dead?"
"Yes, the news just came back that he died of heart palpitations."
"Humph, you deserve it."
Sure enough, Mrs. Gu died, Yi Yan’s wish was fulfilled, and she naturally passed away.
She was scared to death by her own fantasy, wondering when Gu would come to kill her and what means he would use to kill her.
Those who harm others will always be harmed by others.
But there is no Xu Yi Yan in this world anymore.
Xu Yixing stood up, pushed the door open and saw heavy snow falling all over the sky. It was really like goose feathers, so beautiful.
"Siqin, please help me get some paper money for the ancestral sacrifice."
"Ah? What do you need that for? Today is the first day of the new year, I'm afraid it's unlucky."
Xu Yixing didn't answer. So what if it was the first day of the new year? Two people had already died. Why should we care about whether it was auspicious or not?
Siqin returned quickly with a bag of yellow paper money. It was getting dark, and the yellow money was not very conspicuous.
"Prepare a brazier for me. I want to burn some paper."
"Miss...who are you giving it to? I haven't heard anyone is missing?"
"To myself."
The flames rolled up and almost burned Xu Yixing's hand, but she didn't care at all, as if she couldn't feel it.
Yi Yan, you can go without worry. I can never repay your kindness in this lifetime. When you come back in the next life, you can still be my sister. I will definitely love and care for you and will never let you be alone and helpless.
Xu Yixing had met many women, each with their own unique characteristics, but without exception, Xu Yixing looked down on them from the bottom of her heart. She only thought that she was the best person in the world, and now this best person had to be shared with Xu Yiyan in half.
She could understand Yi Yan very well, an orphan with no father and no mother, who was searching for hope in despair little by little for her own life and hatred.
Was she pretending? Yes, she was, but she couldn't pretend in front of the Seventh Prince for nearly ten years. Xu Yixing couldn't do it.
Is she scheming? Yes, she is very scheming, but she never uses her scheming to harm others.
For the sake of a hidden goal, she was able to hone her personality bit by bit, slowly becoming what everyone calls a lady of good family and a quiet young lady.
Xu Yixing vaguely remembered that when Yi Yan was very young, she was just like him, loving to laugh and play. But one day, everything changed.
The floating snow on the tiles at the edge of the yard was blown by the wind, as if dancing for the flames under Xu Yixing's feet, rushing towards the burning brazier without hesitation, and then melting gracefully to death.
Like a dancer, like a virgin.
When the best woman in the world leaves, there should be a heavy snow.
