"Go to bed early. You have to go to my house tomorrow."

Xu Yixing was still looking forward to going back to her parents' home. It was not because she missed her parents' love or anything, but because when she left, she left behind some big troubles that would give Gu a headache.

Ever since his father discovered his plan to have Gu steal his mother's inheritance, he took away Gu's housekeeper rights but did not punish him further.

After Xu Yixing learned about the past events from Granny He, he had been thinking about whether he could find a way to make Gu's family even more miserable. Unfortunately, he was later trapped by the matter of the Fourth Prince and did not dare to act rashly, and it has been delayed until now.

Now that she has left the Xu Mansion and is considered a member of the royal family, no matter what happens in the Xu family, no one will associate it with her.

Tomorrow I can finally go back and see how miserable the Gu family is. How can I not be happy?

Xu Yixing had a smile in her eyes, and even her dreams were sweet. The smile never fell until she got on the carriage back home.

If some people are happy, then naturally some people will be unhappy.

Xu Yixing's smile was a bit eye-catching in Lu Anyuan's eyes. When he woke up this morning, he found that Yixing was very happy and even hummed a little tune while dressing.

Could it be that she was not happy living in the mansion and that’s why she is so happy to be back home?

But I haven't heard of anything happening in the mansion in the past two days. Could it be that Yixing is dissatisfied with me?

Lu Anyuan turned his head to look at the street outside the window. He really couldn't understand Yixing's happiness. After all, he himself had never looked forward to returning to the palace.

When they arrived at the gate of Xu's house, the two still didn't say a word to each other. Only after waiting for a long time did Xu Yixing finally realize something was wrong.

"Why is it that after Ah Da has been knocking on the door for so long, no one has come to pick us up?"

Xu Yixing stuck his head out and saw that Ada seemed to be communicating with the doorman, and he seemed a little excited and dissatisfied.

What's going on hey?

Just as I was wondering, I saw a little head poking out hurriedly from the door, explaining something to A Da, and then began to direct the family to open the door and move the threshold.

"Something happened in your family." Lu Anyuan came over and pulled the earrings Xu Yixing was wearing in anger.

"I saw it, you don't need to tell me." The man who just stuck his head out was obviously Yi Wen. Why didn't his parents come home, so why did he come out to welcome the guests?

The carriage drove into the Xu Mansion from the main gate and stopped in the open space outside the main courtyard. Lu Anyuan and Xu Yixing got off the carriage one after another, and as expected, they saw Xu Yiwen waiting by the carriage.

"Your Highness, sister, are you here?"

Xu Yiwen's expression was the same as usual, except that his clothes were a little messy and he looked very hurried.

"Father and mother are waiting for you in the main hall, go quickly!"

Xu Yixing deliberately lagged behind a few steps and walked side by side with Xu Yiwen: "Brother, what happened at home?"

"It's hard to explain in a few words. After you left, a few minor incidents occurred in the mansion. Although they were not serious, they were related to dignity. Anyway, to put it simply, Dad may have to restore Mom's housekeeper rights!"

Yi Wen knew that it was his sister who had put Gu at a disadvantage in the first place. Now that there was movement at home, he naturally had to inform her.

"What?" Xu Yixing was filled with disbelief. All those hidden dangers he left behind were to make Gu feel unfit to be the mistress of the family. How could this mean that his father was intending to restore Gu's rights as the housekeeper?

Xu Yixing wanted to ask more questions, but the main hall was right in front of him, so he could only swallow the questions and took Lu Anyuan's arm and walked in together.

"Yan'er is back! Come on, come on, sit down!"

Dad was visibly happy, but at the same time, one could see a deep sense of tiredness in his eyes. He didn't know if it was because he was exhausted from taking care of his own wedding some time ago, or if it was related to the "little things" at home that Yiwen mentioned.

"Greetings to father and mother."

Xu Yixing did not violate the rules, but his father did not really let him kowtow twice. After all, Lu Anyuan was a prince, and the emperor could accept this courtesy, but his subjects could not.

"Get up, get up!"

Xu Yixing glanced at Gu. After not seeing her for a few days, Gu's face looked rosy and she seemed to be more charming. She didn't have any of her father's tiredness at all.

As soon as he sat down, he heard the report from outside the door that Madam Jing had arrived. Xu Yiwen went to greet her. With such a large family sitting together, of course he could not hear many intimate words, but only flattery and empty words.

Xu Yixing found an opportunity and, using the excuse of being worried, quickly slipped back to his own yard.

"Oh my God, look at Dad and Gu, every word they say is so flattering that it makes me feel guilty." Xu Yixing shook his handkerchief vigorously to fight against the sun that was already starting to get hot.

Siqin followed the young lady and heard everything that was said just now. "Maybe it's because Madam Jing is here, so the master and the lady have to be attentive."

"Humph, you bootlicker! By the way, you said before that you have a friend named Xiao what? The one who helps in the kitchen."

"Xiaohui."

"Yes, Xiaohui, go find her. Don't talk about anything else. Just ask her to personally bring me some refreshments. I have something to ask her."

"Yes."

Siqin went to find Xiaohui quickly, leaving Xu Yixing sitting on the stone bench, looking aimlessly at the yard where he had lived for a year.

It seems like nothing has changed, but it also seems like everything has changed. Is this the reason for the different state of mind?

Soon Siqin came over with Xiaohui, holding a large tray with the snacks that Xu Yixing ordered.

"Greetings to the Crown Prince's Consort." Xiaohui put down her things and bowed her head to the ground. Xu Yixing then noticed that she was really young. She looked only twelve or thirteen years old and had just gotten rid of her childishness. He didn't know how she became friends with Siqin, such a big girl.

"Get up, get up, just call me Miss, this is our own home!"

"Yes." Xiaohui stood up, obviously a little restrained. If Siqin hadn't been there, the child would probably have been scared and cried.

"Don't worry, your sister Siqin said that you are efficient and conscientious in your work. You even helped me with some things in the first year. This time when I came back, I was really concerned about the people in the mansion, so I asked you to come and ask about it."

"Yes, Miss, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I will answer all your questions."

"When we came back just now, we knocked on the door for a long time before someone came out to pick us up. I thought that when I returned home today, my parents must have made preparations in advance, so how could such a mistake happen?"

Xu Yixing did not directly ask about what Yiwen said, but only talked about his own experience. Fortunately, he came in first. If Madam Jing came first, it would be too rude to make her wait at the door for so long.

"Well... our concierge has just been replaced, so he is a little unfamiliar with the place, which is why there are such mistakes."

"Just now, what time was just now?" Xu Yixing had only been married for three days, and changing the doorman now made too much noise.

"It was last night. The master changed it himself. He messed up the three original doors and reallocated them. He also added new people. It was very late."
