But death is death. Death means that no matter how much you miss someone, you will never see him again.

Even memory can deceive us. It can blur, fade, be ignored, and eventually become forgotten.

His elder sister has Nanny Bai to protect her from the wind and rain, his younger sister has Siqin to protect her, and even Gu has Nanny Gu, but he has nothing.

He didn't want to, he was unwilling to, and he couldn't accept his sister's death, so he wanted to kill Sun Ziyou at all costs.

Finally, I arrived at the gate of the mansion. Today the main gate was wide open and the lanterns were changed to white.

Dad and Mother were dressed in plain clothes, standing in front of the door waiting.

"Dad! Mom! I'm taking my sister home!" Xu Yiwen waved his hand: "Get up!"

However, no one could hear that the "mother" he called was not Gu, but his own stepmother, Bai, the biological mother of his sister who had died early.

The coffin crossed the demolished and non-existent threshold and was carried all the way into Xu Yixing's former courtyard. Si Wen was waiting there, crying inconsolably.

Old Man Xu burned three sticks of incense in front of the coffin, left silently, and walked towards the storeroom behind his study to pay his respects alone.

Gu was in charge of all matters, and she didn't feel anything special. Anyway, her eldest daughter had never respected her, so she died. If the funeral was decent, maybe the master could regain his housekeeper rights.

After Xu Yiwen burned incense, he looked around, but did not see his sister anywhere. So he quietly asked the servant beside him and learned that she was sick. He hurried to Xu Yixing's yard.

"Siqin, I heard that my sister is sick, what happened?"

Siqin was sitting in the corridor. When she saw Xu Yiwen coming, she stood up immediately and said, "Master, the second young lady is indeed ill. It's very serious. She is still in a coma."

"Have you seen a doctor?"

"I've seen her. They all say that the young lady's illness is strange. I'm afraid she needs to be taken care of for a while."

Xu Yiwen entered the room and saw his sister lying on the bed with a red face. He felt distressed. Now he only had this sister left, and he couldn't let anything happen to her.

"No wonder I didn't see her go to my sister's yard just now. She is so seriously ill. Siqin, since the doctor in the mansion can't see what's wrong, you can go outside and hire someone. I'll pay for it."

Siqin opened her mouth to refuse, saying, "Our Second Miss is very rich, why would she need your money?" But she didn't say it, after all, it was the young master's kindness.

"Yes, I will go and ask the doctor during the day tomorrow."

"Hiss! Wait, I remember the Seventh Prince recommended an imperial physician to the one in the Sun Mansion, right?"

"Yes, I heard that his medical skills are very high."

"Okay, then I'll find an opportunity to borrow him."

"Yes, thank you, Master! Master, our eldest lady...really?"

"Well, Yi Yan is ill. When you are free, go and burn some incense for Yi Yan and show your sisterly love."

"Okay, I'll go there in a moment."

Xu Yiwen sat for a while and then left. Siqin followed his instructions and went to burn incense. There was a big ritual in Xu's house, chanting sutras all night long, and the atmosphere was full of sorrow.

On May 11, the General's Mansion issued a notice of obituary, and decided to bury the body three days later, on May 14. Originally, the body was supposed to stay for seven days, but Miss Xu's body had already deteriorated and could not be kept for long, so this was the only option.

Half of the officials in the capital came to pay their respects, and the other half sent gifts but did not show up. All the housekeepers, governors, and legal advisors looked apologetic and gave reasonable reasons for their masters not to come.

It is sad that the Sun family also raised white lanterns, claiming to be mourning for their granddaughter-in-law, and showed their intention to seek peace. However, the Xu family did not appreciate it at all, and kicked the people sent by the Sun family out, and continued to hold a banquet and play suona.

Everyone is not blind. The General's Mansion was furious and forced to trample the Duke's Mansion to death. Although the emperor detained Sun Ziyou, he did not take any action against other people in the Duke's Mansion for the time being. The so-called gods are fighting, and officials from all families do not want to be caught in the middle, so the best thing is to go to both sides and not offend either.

Lu Anyuan came back from the Empress Dowager the night before, and his complexion looked much better, but his throat was too badly smoked, and his voice was still hoarse.

He already knew clearly what his father was planning from his grandmother, so he had no worries and went to the Xu family to pay his respects, and brought Mr. Yao with him.

When Old Man Xu saw the Seventh Prince coming, he received him warmly. He then told him that his second daughter was ill and hoped that he would go and see her. Lu Anyuan was very grateful and followed the maid to the second lady's courtyard.

"Your Highness, parents here are afraid that their daughters' contact with outsiders will have a bad reputation. Why is our General Xu still urging you to meet the second young lady?"

"Haha, since we're already engaged anyway, there's no harm in meeting each other."

Lu Anyuan knew that his future father-in-law was thanking him and currying favor with him. He wanted to thank him for finding Xu Yixing's body, and he also wanted to use his power to prove the Sun family's guilt.

In fact, the old general is really strange when it comes to his children.

In the past, after Xu Yixing and his grandson You got engaged, according to the rules of Daxia, although they had an engagement, they could not meet privately. However, he still often let the two of them go out to compete and have fun, and the same thing happened to his second daughter.

Lu Anyuan always felt that General Xu was using women to win people's hearts. But maybe he was overthinking it. Who cares? As long as he could meet Yixing, he would be happy.

When he arrived at Xu Yixing's current house, he saw Ying Wu in the corridor as soon as he entered the courtyard. Lu Anyuan was really jealous. It was agreed that he was just a shadow guard, so why did he see him day and night and put him in the courtyard?

"Siqin, how is your young lady?"

"I just woke up. What are you doing, Your Highness?" Si Qin felt very strange. Why did the Seventh Prince come directly to the young lady's boudoir?

"Ah, your old general is worried about the second young lady, so I brought Imperial Physician Yao here to check on her."

When Siqin heard that it was the imperial physician, she was of course happy and hurriedly let him into the room. However, she did not expect that the Seventh Prince would also follow in. However, she could not chase him away and could only watch from the side.

Xu Yixing was lying on the bed, with a high fever and feeling extremely uncomfortable. When she saw Lu Anyuan coming in, she was concerned about his poisoning and wanted to ask, but Siqin was beside her, so she couldn't ask.

Lu Anyuan waved his hand: "Siqin, please go out. Imperial Doctor Yao cannot have anyone watching him while he is treating a patient."

"Hmm?" What kind of rule is this? Didn't it mean that when I treated that patient in Sun's house before, a man and a woman were also alone in the same room...

"Go out. I am watching you here. Are you still worried?"

I'm worried because you're here! The master is too unreliable. The eldest daughter is still in the funeral procession, and the second daughter is allowed to talk about love. This is inappropriate.

Go find the young master and ask him to come over and watch over it!
