The prince's consort... It turns out that all this is because I am about to become the prince's consort.
She used family affection to force herself to forgive Gu, and then used the image of a loving father to make up for the years of debt. In this way, she could completely let go of her knot and marry Lu Anyuan with peace of mind, and then seek benefits for the Xu family and uphold her father's face.
Dad, you are really good at calculating.
If I hadn't died and continued to live a prosperous life in the Duke's Mansion, would you have considered Yi Yan in this way?
If Yi Yan had not had the chance to become the prince's consort and had married someone at random, you wouldn't have said so much to her.
It is said that parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run, but your love, your love for Yi Yan, is conditional.
Xu Yixing's eyes turned red and tears fell. She felt sad for Yi Yan and felt it was not worth it for her.
Old Man Xu thought that his words had worked, so he comforted her gently and asked Siqin to send the second young lady back.
Xu Yixing was tired, more tired than ever before. Her family had always been her support, and that had never changed. But from today on, this family had become a golden opportunity for her.
Everyone was bathed in this light, and everyone had to protect it and contribute to it. This feeling was so unfamiliar that it gave her a headache and made her uncomfortable.
"vomit!"
She couldn't help but vomited a mouthful of sour water - she hadn't eaten much today, so there was nothing to vomit.
Siqin anxiously brought her a spittoon, supporting her back while saying, "Miss! I'll go get the palace doctor!"
"Come back!" Xu Yixing grabbed her sleeve with such force that Siqin was pulled to sit on the ground.
"I, I'm fine. I just haven't eaten anything all day and I'm so hungry that I'm having acid reflux."
"Ah? Oh! I'll serve you the food right away!"
Facing a large table of delicious food, Xu Yixing finally felt that his father had said something sensible: Eat when you should eat, drink when you should drink.
I have to take care of my own body. Even if the sky falls, I will still have three meals a day.
After today, if you want to be the same as before, and be loyal to the Xu family and your father, you have to consider what benefits you have brought to me.
"Yingjiu, go tell them I need a list of everything Huixiang has sold. Don't miss a single thing. This mission is the most important thing right now. Go too, and get Yingwu to come over to me. He's an expert in disguise, right? Have him stay by my side and not hide in the dark. Everyone else, go check for me."
When Yingjiu heard the order, he felt a little sad. He had followed the second young lady for so long, how could he be replaced just like that?
"Yes. I'll be leaving now. Take care, miss."
Xu Yixing wanted to know where the things his mother left behind had gone. He wanted to retrieve them all, no matter the cost. Even if his father no longer cared about those things, he would still find them all.
She regretted using the things her mother left behind as bait to lure Gu. She didn't deserve it.
Dad doesn't deserve it either. He let those things sit in the room for eighteen years without caring about them, and they were easily stolen. It was such a waste!
She suddenly missed her mother, and the strange woman she had never met, so much. How about finding some time to go to the Bai Mansion?
As soon as this idea came to mind, Xu Yixing knew that he would have to realize it soon, maybe tomorrow.
I had a dreamless night. It seemed that I rarely dreamed after Yi Yan left.
The reason I used today was to tell the Bai family about what happened yesterday. After all, it was something that the Bai family had brought over, so if it was lost, I had to explain it.
In fact, Xu Yixing thought her father would not agree, and she even thought of other excuses. However, when her father heard that she wanted to go to Bai Mansion to take a walk on her behalf, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling and agreed immediately.
"Xu Qian, what do you think of my daughter?"
"The Second Miss probably understood your painstaking efforts, which is why she said she would go to the Bai Mansion today."
Old Man Xu was very happy. He couldn't help feeling proud as he watched her leave.
"Speaking of daughters, Xing'er is naturally the best, but... alas! Although Yan'er has made progress, she is still not as good as her sister."
"The eldest daughter is the daughter of our mistress, so she is naturally better than the child of a criminal slave."
There was a murderous look on Old Man Xu's face, like an old knife about to be unsheathed.
"How's the search for evidence going at the Sun Mansion?"
"Everything is ready, just waiting for an opportunity. Didn't the Second Prince persuade the Emperor to investigate the land? It should be almost done. But General, our own land is not clean either. I'm afraid we might be affected by the disaster. Do you think we should withdraw our involvement beforehand?"
"No need. His Majesty has been hesitant to issue the order because he knows this matter involves too many people. If they investigate, every family will be implicated. But ours is fine, which will make His Majesty suspicious."
"Yes, General, you see things clearly. I've almost finished the shop you asked me to buy for the young lady's dowry, and I haven't encountered much resistance from the Sun Mansion."
"Hmph! They're in the wrong. When giving Yi Yan her dowry, pick a few of these out for her. She's never managed a shop before, and if we give her all of them, I'm afraid she won't be able to run it."
Xu Yixing didn’t know what her father was planning, but when she got the detailed list of her dowry in the future, she would probably have another grand rebirth.
The Xu Mansion was not too far from the Bai Mansion, only two streets away, but the facades faced different directions, so it took some time to get around.
Arriving in front of the Bai Mansion, Xu Yixing barely needed to announce anything before driving straight in. After all, the Xu Mansion's carriage was marked, and although the two residences didn't travel every day, gifts were exchanged during festivals.
Her uncle had not returned home today, so it was her aunt who received her.
"Meet my aunt."
"Good boy, you are here, come in with me."
Xu Yixing's aunt, Yan, was a very quiet person. She did not participate in social gatherings and banquets among noble ladies, and had the attitude of a hermit.
It's not because she is cold-hearted by nature, but it's her husband's duty to be in charge of the palace. The emperor wishes Bai Yu didn't have any friends at all, so she can only do this in accordance with his wishes.
Bai is Yi Yan's nominal mother, so there is no problem in calling her uncle and aunt.
"It's not a festival, how come you have time to come here today?" Yan spoke slowly, as if she was drunk.
"Something happened at home, and your daughter is here to pass on a message for your father."
"What happened?" Yan opened her eyes wide. She had heard about Yixing's situation a long time ago, so she was very worried and scared.
"The dowry that my grandfather prepared for my mother was recently stolen. My father is very upset and is doing his best to track it down."
Yan's face showed doubt, but soon returned to a calm expression: "Your father is too cautious. Since those things have been brought into the Xu Mansion, why should we pursue them further?"
