A cat or a dog? Lu Junshi's son? Xu Yixing thought that his father was quite good at giving people nicknames. Although he didn't know who A cat or a dog was, he should be a noble son. Is it really okay to call him that?

But with just a few words, Xu Yixing had already roughly guessed something. Yi Wen, this kid, was just pretending to be innocent by letting others do the work, right? It was quite interesting.

The token was actually an old one, which Wu Xueyan didn't tell herself. In other words, anyone who went there would be arrested and questioned about the origin of the token. Only the Xu family, who was about to marry into the royal family, could have an old token and be feared by the city guards, so they would open the door.

Or to be more direct, what the Second Prince hopes to see is that one day in the future his seventh brother will take the old decree and use his status as a prince as a bargaining chip to force the City Defense Department to open the gates. This crime would be extremely serious.

But I don't know how Xu Yiwen figured all this out, and where did he find a person named Lu? It's funny that this person is neither a royal family member nor a relative of the emperor, but with the same surname, he actually frightened the city guards.

Moreover, the people of the Wu family were forced to come out. In this way, the matter was reduced from "possible treason" to the two younger generations of the Xu family and the Wu family, who deliberately made trouble because of the disagreement on their respective sisters' marriages. No one could see the more vicious tricks behind this.

Xu Yiwen, does he have this ability?

Father Xu saw that his second daughter hadn't spoken for a long time, so he waved his hand in front of her eyes and said, "What are you thinking about? Can you hear me?"

"Oh! Dad, that... things may not be what you think. Brother did this for me, but not because of the hatred with the Wu family..."

Xu Yixing thought for a long time and decided that it was right to keep it a secret from outsiders, but he had to remind his father that the Second Prince would probably fail again after this one, so his father had to be on guard.

"Actually, I gave that token to my brother. It was forced upon me by the Second Prince. I didn't know what to do with it, so I gave it to my brother and asked him to help me deal with it. I didn't want it to end up like this."

"What?" Old Man Xu stood up and tried to digest what his second daughter said. In just a moment, he understood everything. He couldn't help but feel scared and his smile disappeared.

"Damn it! The Second Prince is crazy, isn't he? He wants to avenge those old bastards in the Sun Mansion! Yan'er, since this happened, why didn't you come and tell Dad?"

"This... It's fine if Dad doesn't know about this, but I'm afraid that if something happens in the future and it affects our family, I dare not tell you."

Father Xu thought that this was indeed the truth. Today, he thought that it was just a revenge trick of his son. Therefore, no matter how the emperor scolded him, he only responded with the mentality of a father watching his son make a mistake. If he had known that there was a plan to kill two or three birds with one stone involved, he might not have acted so well.

"Oh! Your brother was beaten badly by me today. What should we do?" Old Man Xu sat on the stool with a look of regret on his face.

Xu Yixing did not buy into his so-called guilt. This was clearly a means of covering up the truth. Didn't you think before that Xu Yiwen was venting my anger for me? He never used any heavy hands.

"Then I'll go see my brother." Xu Yixing retreated under his father's gratified eyes. He was afraid that in his father's mind, he was the most sensible one in the family. Moreover, as a prince's consort in the future, she would have a bright future, so naturally, the closer the relationship with the family, the better.

Oh, Dad, when will you love me without any distractions?

Arriving at Xu Yiwen's yard, Xu Yixing did not rush in. He listened at the door for a while. It was quiet inside and he didn't know whether Yiwen was asleep.

Xu Yixing pushed the door open and saw the two big maids in Yiwen's room standing inside the door, guarding a medicine stove and fanning the fire.

"Sishu, Siqi, is my brother okay?"

The two of them looked up when they heard this, as if surprised: "The Second Miss is here, and our Young Master has been talking about you. The Master beat the Young Master with twenty sticks, and he was badly injured. Come and have a look." As he said this, he took Xu Yixing to the inner room.

Xu Yixing didn't come to Yiwen's room often. When he came today, he found that his room was very effeminate, with gauze curtains everywhere, not grand at all. He really should exchange his room with Wu Xueyan's, it was too ugly.

"Brother, how are you?" She saw Yi Wen lying on the bed with his lower body covered with a quilt. He probably heard her come in and hurriedly pulled the quilt up, so it was a little messy.

"Sister, I, I'm fine!" Xu Yiwen's eyes sparkled, and the smile on his face was as proud as if he had won the top prize in the imperial examination. There was no sign at all that he had just been punished.

"You guys go out. I have something to say to the Second Miss. Don't come in unless I call you." Xu Yiwen said to the people who followed in and drove them all out.

"Sister, sit down. How about it? Isn't this trick of mine powerful?"

Before Xu Yixing's butt even touched the chair, he heard Yiwen eagerly asking for praise. What a childish mind he has!

"Why didn't you tell Dad that I asked you to do it? You got beaten for nothing, and now you're happy?" Xu Yixing was not very happy, but when he heard these words, he felt that his sister was concerned about him, so Yiwen was not disappointed and turned around to apologize with a smile.

"Then how could I betray you? Don't worry, I will definitely solve this problem for you!"

"Alas!" Xu Yixing sighed heavily. Yiwen was indeed a child. "I've already told my father about this. He already knows how serious this is. He regrets beating you, so he was anxious for me to come and see."

When Xu Yi heard this, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, a mixture of happiness and sadness. "Okay, it's good that Dad knows about this. Sister, what do you think of my idea?"

"That's good. Anyway, I'm really surprised that you can think of finding a man named Lu to take the lead, and you even specifically choose the city gate guarded by Master Wu. This way, everyone will think that you are venting your anger on my behalf and won't think of other places."

Xu Yixing smiled with satisfaction. No matter what, she was very satisfied today. Since her father came back from the court with a smile on his face, she knew that the emperor had already made a decision. At most, they would be beaten with 50 sticks each and scolded by both families. It was no big deal.

But she saw that Yiwen seemed to frown, with confusion in his eyes.

Xu Yixing keenly caught this point: "Why, these are not your strategies?"

"No, I just thought that if I use the token to open all the city gates in the capital, they will definitely know that the City Defense Bureau sign is lost, and they will definitely send someone to get it back from me. Then I will say that I found it, and no one can do anything to me!"
