Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

Having said that, Xu Yixing felt dizzy and something in his heart seemed to want to burst out and be vented.

Lu Anyuan, please don't let me down...

There has already been a precedent, and Xu Yixing didn't dare to think about whether she would still have the courage to start again if she suffered another blow from Lu Anyuan this time.

"I, I know."

What did she know? Even she herself couldn't explain clearly what she knew. But Lu Anyuan liked her, so if she used his identity to do something in the future, would she feel guilty?

It is not possible to maintain a long-term relationship by simply taking advantage of it. But now that I know his true heart, I cannot take advantage of him with a clear conscience. It is really a difficult problem.

"Miss, Seventh Prince, everyone over there has already started fishing and writing poetry, why don't you two go over and join them?" Siqin quietly came over and reported to the two of them. She always felt that it was too dangerous for her young lady to be alone with the Seventh Prince every time.

Lu Anyuan was about to refuse, but Xu Yixing spoke first: "Really? Then let's go together." She just felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was very subtle, so it would be better to leave as soon as possible.

So Lu Anyuan could only look at Siqin's back angrily and followed her. In the second half of today, he didn't find a chance to talk to Xu Yixing alone.

At the end of June, the rebellion and assassination of the Seventh Prince in the Duke's Mansion, which had been deadlocked for more than a month, finally came to an end.

The emperor personally decreed that the Duke's mansion be stripped of its official position and exiled, and that all sons over the age of fifteen be executed, and those who were dissatisfied be exiled to southern Xinjiang, never to return to the capital. The culprit, Sun Ziyou, was naturally sentenced to death, and it was scheduled to be executed in the autumn, along with his father and mother.

Old Mrs. Sun was a lucky person. She had suffered in prison for more than a month. When she heard the verdict, she didn't know whether she was shocked or frightened, but she died overnight and didn't have to go to southern Xinjiang with that group of people.

At the same time, the emperor conferred titles on several of the Sun family's distant relatives and awarded them some empty official titles to show his great favor. Of course, these people who were rewarded had exposed many of the crimes of the old Duke's family in previous investigations.

When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. This is how things have always been. Even a large family like the Sun Mansion, when faced with a catastrophe, would shirk responsibility and sell out their brothers and sisters.

After Xu Yixing learned of the emperor's decree, he felt uneasy. In the end, he copied some Buddhist scriptures and sent them to Jingxi Temple to burn them. Only then did he feel better.

Since Sun Ziyou's sentence has been determined, the day for me to meet him and get the truth will soon come.

She stayed in the mansion, quietly waiting. Until July 2nd, Yingjiu suddenly sent a message saying that Ah Da from the Seventh Prince's Mansion had sent a letter asking her to go to the Heavenly Prison to see him on the 3rd.

Xu Yixing finally put his heart at ease. Lu Anyuan really did as he said and gave him the chance to see him again before he died.

On the morning of the 3rd, Xu Yixing went out in full dress, with gold hairpins, silver hair ornaments, silk and jade shoes, and everything in between. Even though her makeup today was not as grand as a wedding, it was still very complicated.

It was the last meeting, and she didn’t want to be at a disadvantage.

The Tianlao was much stricter than the Jingzhao prison. It was divided into different areas, some for the royal family, some for ministers and officials, and some for the most serious criminals.

Sun Ziyou's cell was located very far inside the prison and it was very cold, making it feel unusually chilly even in the middle of summer.

Xu Yi walked in gracefully, like a lady attending a banquet, without any discomfort or complaint.

After finally reaching the prison door of Sun Ziyou, I saw that his hands and feet were bound by a not-too-long chain. His clothes were tattered but still clean, which showed that he had not been tortured for some time after obtaining the evidence of Sun's crime.

"Put your things here and get out. I want to talk to him alone."

Xu Yixing said this to the jailer. The servants and maids had been stopped outside the prison, so a jailer had been holding things for him. Hearing this, the man touched the heavy silver in his arms and left without saying anything.

It was impossible to open the door, not to mention that Xu Yixing had no intention of going in. Unlike Mrs. Gu, she did not dare to approach Sun Ziyou casually, for fear that he had a backhand.

Sun Ziyou didn't even raise his eyelids through the prison door. He had heard the voice of the person coming and recognized it as Xu Yiyan. But he had nothing to say to her, so he just lowered his head and pretended to be dead.

"This is quail stewed with dried shrimps, cold-mixed shredded tripe, ham and yam, and fresh mushrooms and cabbage hearts. There's also a pot of rice wine and a bowl of rice. The food box is small and can only hold so much. Besides, I'm afraid the jailers won't let me in if I bring more."

Xu Yixing took out the dishes one by one, sat on the ground outside, and pushed them to Sun Ziyou through the fence. Only then did Sun Ziyou raise his head, looking at the person opposite him in confusion - these dishes were all his favorites, but why did Xu Yiyan know?

It was at this moment when Xu Yixing raised his head that he saw the face clearly. From the upper left to the lower right, there was a mark, a long scar, left by something that burned him, avoiding the eye, just like Gao Yao's injury at that time.

Who did this? Actually, there is no need to think about it. There are only two biggest suspects. Either Gao Yao bribed the jailer, or Lu Anyuan did it. Who else would be so idle as to disfigure his grandson?

"Are you injured?"

Sun Ziyou moved his hands and feet and moved closer to Xu Yixing. Xu Yixing immediately felt like a mountain was approaching him. He shrank his body unconsciously and was caught by Sun Ziyou.

"Are you afraid of me?" Sun Ziyou frowned and his voice changed slightly, as if he had the aftereffects of someone pouring something hot down his throat.

"Who said that!" Xu Yixing quickly realized his mistake and sat up straight. He is just a prisoner, why should I be afraid of him!

Sun Ziyou no longer dwelled on this point, and just looked at the dishes on the ground: "Indeed, they are all what I like to eat, but how did you know?"

His throat seemed to be struggling to speak, and each word required great effort to utter.

"My sister told me this before." Xu Yixing has learned to lie now.

"Hmm?" Sun Ziyou tilted his head, but there was a shackle on his neck, which made a rattling sound when he moved. In his impression, Xu Yixing was not close to this concubine sister, and he looked down on her, so why did he tell her this?

But Xu Yixing wouldn't explain. He said too much and made too many mistakes, so it was better not to say anything.

Sure enough, Sun Ziyou did not ask any further questions. Instead, he picked up the chopsticks, took a bite, drank a sip of wine, and then stopped moving.

"Thank you for the meal. Why did you come to see me?"
