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

"Yes... it was my sister's nanny who died suddenly, so that alarmed my parents."

"A maid?" Lu Anyuan asked with doubt in his tone. Could a maid alarm the old general of the Xu Mansion?

"She is the old nanny left by my sister's mother. She has a very good relationship with my sister. My sister is sad, so my parents will come naturally."

When Xu Yixing said this, she kept her head down, trying to hide the tears that shouldn't be in her eyes. But in Lu Anyuan's eyes, she felt wronged because her parents favored her eldest sister.

"Yi Yan, don't be sad. Everyone knows that the old general loves his daughter. I believe he will find a good plan for you in the future." Lu Anyuan did mean some irony. Everyone knows that General Xu loves his daughters, but he only favors the eldest daughter. I wonder how many parents in the world are not biased?

Xu Yixing looked up and thought about his life experience. It turned out to be similar to his own. They were both poor people without mothers. He used to have his father’s love, but now he has nothing. ... Nanny Bai is gone too. ... Everything is gone...

"Ah! Your Highness, did you see the group of people carrying the coffin just now? I have to go find them!"

"Yi Yan! They have been gone for half an hour." The Seventh Prince stopped Xu Yixing, his eyes full of worry.

"I was unconscious for so long?"

"Yeah, I was worried to death."

When these words came out of the mouth of an unfamiliar man, Xu Yixing felt cold all over.

She wanted to ask about the relationship between the two, but she didn't dare to say it. Once the Seventh Prince discovered that he had no memory of Xu Yiyan, all would be over.

But, she actually called him Yi Yan instead of Second Miss Xu? This was too weird. When did she first meet him?

There were three knocks on the car window. It was the sound from outside the car. Xu Yixing was so frightened that he almost hid in the arms of the Seventh Prince. Fortunately, he woke up in time and just huddled in a corner of the car.

"Don't be afraid, he's my man. Tell me." Lu Anyuan comforted her while asking the man outside to report back.

"The team just carried the coffin to the open space outside the east gate and set it on fire. Because there was no space around, I didn't dare to approach rashly, so I couldn't see what was inside the coffin."

"understood."

"You?" Xu Yixing was surprised. Why did he ask someone to follow those people?

"Just now I saw you running in a hurry, you must be in a hurry. Just now only the team of people carrying the coffin was suspicious, so I naturally had to keep an eye on you."

Without caring about being moved, Xu Yixing just felt regretful: "It's still a step too late..."

"Is that Nanny Bai in the coffin? But isn't she your sister's Nanny? Why did you follow her? Tell me and I will help you."

Xu Yixing raised his eyes again and met those dark eyes.

Different from Sun Ziyou's peach blossom eyes, Lu Anyuan's eyes are longer and thinner, which makes people scared, as if they carry a murderous intent.

Is this... the feeling of oppression of the royal family?

When Lu Anyuan said he wanted to help me, it was not a question or a polite statement. It was a statement. If he said he would help, then he would help.

But Xu Yixing didn't dare to accept this kindness. First, she didn't know the relationship between Lu Anyuan and Xu Yiyan. They looked very familiar with each other, but she didn't know where this familiarity came from.

Secondly, the Xu Mansion is the residence of the General Fuyuan. Although my father has not been in charge of the troops in the capital for a long time, his prestige in the border troops remains. Xu Yixing has been influenced by him and absolutely dare not get close to the prince.

Being too close to the prince would lead to suspicion of participating in factional struggles, which could bring disaster to the family if one is not careful.

What's more, the current commander of the imperial guards of Xu Yixing's mother, the Bai family, is his cousin, who is in charge of the defense of the imperial palace. If the prince is infected, the emperor will definitely be wary.

Xu Yixing used to have no taboos in making friends, from the royal family to the children of the guards, as long as she liked and had a compatible personality, they could be her friends. But she knew one thing, that is, she had to keep a distance from the royal family.

"Thank you, Your Highness. It's nothing serious. It's just that my sister has deep feelings for that Nanny Bai. She was buried in a hurry, and my sister is worried, so she asked me to go and take a look."

Although there are loopholes, this is the most reasonable reason Xu Yixing can think of at the moment. Otherwise, how would she explain why she cares about her sister's nanny?

"Really?" Lu Anyuan obviously didn't believe it.

"Ah."

"Well, it's okay if you don't want to talk about it. But Yi Yan, if you need help, just send someone to my house. You can trust me."

After Lu Anyuan finished speaking, he gave Xu Yixing a perfectly curved smile. Seeing this, Xu Yixing was slightly distracted, as if he was pierced by the sunlight that suddenly appeared behind the dark clouds.

She quickly lowered her head and dared not look again.

"I still have to go back to the mansion. Your Highness, please find a convenient place to drop me off." Xu Yixing noticed that the carriage was still moving, and he was afraid that he was no longer in the Duke's Mansion.

"That's natural."

As expected, Lu Anyuan drove the carriage to the most remote alley behind the Xu Mansion, but did not drive directly to the door. Xu Yiyan got off the carriage here, and he did not have to worry about being seen by the servants when he returned.

After Xu Yi walked away, Lu Anyuan lowered the curtain and knocked on the wall of the car, indicating that it was time to go.

Ah Da followed the carriage and said through the window: "Your Highness, why did you have to bring Miss Xu on the carriage? You could have just asked someone from the Duke's Mansion to rescue her. If people knew that you were interacting with the daughter of a military commander, it would probably cause trouble."

Lu Anyuan sat upright with his back straight, exuding a solemn and murderous aura from head to toe. He was totally different from the easy-going person he had just been in front of Xu Yixing.

"That's Xu Yiyan... Ah Da, tell me, can I not save him?"

Ah Da was silent after hearing this. After a long while, he asked again, "Second Miss Xu was clearly lying just now. She ran away in such a hurry just to watch the funeral as requested by First Miss Xu?"

"Everyone has secrets. If she doesn't want to talk about it, I won't ask." Lu Anyuan took out a dried plum from his purse, chewed it, and ignored the urge to dig into the matter.

Xu Yixing returned home safely. After finding out that Xu Yiwen had gone to the Duke's Mansion, he felt relieved.

Now all she has to do is wait for Siqin to come back, and she will know whether Nanny Bai left anything for her before she died.

But Aunt Bai... Why on earth? She has nine shadow guards around her, how could they not be able to protect an old lady like her!

Xu Yixing's heart ached. When she thought of Nanny Bai, the counterfeit, and the fact that it was all because of her that Nanny Bai suffered such a misfortune, she couldn't help but want to strangle herself to death.

When Siqin returned home with the master and his mistress, and anxiously wanted to inform Xu Yixing of the news, as soon as she entered the room she saw the second young lady lying on the ground, not knowing whether she was dead or alive.
