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

"Oh?" So it was changed last night. However, disrupting all three gates was too large a scale. It must be a big deal that my father couldn't stand, which led to such a result.

Three gates does not mean three doors, but three gates. There are three layers of defense inside Xu Mansion. The outermost one is the main gate, also called the first gate. There are two main gates in total, the main gate and the side gate.

The people guarding the gate were usually the ones brought down by my father from the battlefield, or the elders of the Xu Mansion. Because guarding the gate was generally a relatively leisurely job, and if someone came to ask for an appointment to do something, they would most likely give the gatekeeper some benefits, so it was considered a lucrative job.

The second gate is the door between the main gate and the courtyards of each master. It is mainly used to separate the living areas of servants and masters. Therefore, the second gate is not a fixed door.

For example, the side courtyard where the maids lived and the main courtyard where the masters lived were only separated by a wall, but were outside the two gates.

Just like before when Cai was kicked out of the second gate to do errands, this meant that she would never be allowed to get close to her master's activities.

The guards at the second gate were the most chaotic, because everyone had his own connections, and everyone wanted to put some people in this place. For example, Nanny Gu replaced the guards at the warehouse and kitchen gates with her own confidants, which made things much easier.

The three gates are the gates to the courtyards of each master. For example, the courtyard where Xu Yixing lives now, once the door is closed, it becomes a private space, and the people guarding it also belong to their own courtyards.

If you count carefully, there are at least thirty or forty people in charge of these three departments. All of them were replaced overnight. No wonder it was so hasty.

"So what happened?"

"Well..." Xiaohui frowned for a long time, trying to organize her words. "I heard from my mother that it was because someone sneaked into the yard of the former eldest lady the night before and did something bad, and was caught on the spot, so my father was furious."

My yard? It's been empty for a long time, and my dad has already sealed it off.

"What bad thing?"

Xiao Hui blushed. She was now old enough to be more experienced in the world and was very shy. "Affair..."

"Huh?" This time, not only Xu Yixing, but even Siqin was shocked. Running to the eldest lady's yard to have an affair? He was too bold.

"Who are those two people? Tell me about them." Xu Yixing's blood rushed to his head and he immediately understood why his father was angry.

"The woman is Sister Huixi, who is in charge of the eldest daughter's courtyard in our mansion. The man seems to be her cousin or something like that, but I don't know the details."

"Isn't it from our house?"

Xiaohui shook her head.

Xu Yixing was shocked. No wonder, this outsider could go through the main gate, the second gate, and the third gate to the sealed master's yard to do something shameful. The Xu family's defense was simply useless. This was not a face issue at all, but a blatant safety issue.

"Xiaohui, besides this matter, is there anything else going on at home after I leave?"

"There were other things, too, such as drinking and gambling at night, petty theft, or unauthorized changes and transfers of personnel, but nothing as drastic as this."

Xu Yixing nodded. When he left, he did want to cause chaos in the Xu family for some time. Therefore, he turned a blind eye to those people who had already seen the signs and did not take them to the prince's palace, just hoping that they would cause trouble.

However, the chaotic management of the three gates was indeed beyond my expectations.

No wonder Dad wanted to restore Gu's power as the housekeeper. Even if Dad had ten points of energy, he would have to allocate seven points to the affairs of the court. This time, he made such a big move, but the hidden dangers left behind are endless, and it really requires someone to manage it specifically.

Xu Yiwen couldn't do that. He wasn't cut out for it. If he were to take charge, Dad would probably see the Xu family in chaos, with murder and arson. And Dad hadn't arranged a marriage for Yiwen in the short term, so naturally he couldn't count on any good wife to help him.

There is only the Gu family.

No way! Xu Yixing slapped the stone table, but no sound was made. However, it still scared the two people beside him.

"I'm fine. I just feel upset when I hear about this kind of thing. Dad has worked so hard. But have you heard what Dad plans to do next? This is not a permanent solution."

"I don't know, but people in the mansion say that maybe the Madam has to continue to manage the household in order to stop the chaos..."

Xu Yixing even suspected that these people were sent by Gu to spread the news? It's only been three days, and they're already spreading rumors about her benefits?

Humph, no way!

After knowing the whole story, Xu Yixing hurried back to the front yard, where dinner was just being served, and his father was sending someone to look for him.

After a lively meal, Mrs. Jing said goodbye and left. The young couple sat for a while, and then Xu Yixing followed Lu Anyuan back.

Instead of seeing Gu's joke, she took advantage of the situation and made a move. It was so unpleasant!

He was in high spirits when he came, but his face almost dropped to the ground when he left.

Naturally, Lu Anyuan also caught this change in emotion. It seemed that Yixing was really unwilling to go back with him.

"Madam, why don't you stay at home for a few more days? There's nothing going on in the prince's mansion, so it won't delay anything."

"Why should I live there? To watch others having an affair?" Xu Yixing said this with gritted teeth, and then explained to Lu Anyuan everything he had heard in the Xu Mansion.

"So, you are unhappy because Gu may regain the stewardship, not because of anything else?"

"Anything else?" Xu Yixing looked at Lu Anyuan in confusion: "Anything else?"

"No, I was wrong. Then how do you plan to deal with this matter?" Knowing that Xu Yixing was not doing this because of him, Lu Anyuan was very proud, and was just waiting to instigate and help her to destroy the Gu family.

"My father still doesn't know that the deaths of Aunt Liu and Aunt He were related to Mrs. Gu from the Gu family."

"Are you looking for someone to expose what happened back then?" Lu Anyuan raised his head slightly and quickly asked the question: "But it seems that your family doesn't have a suitable candidate now."

"tell me the story."

"Xu Yiwen is the only young person in your family. It is impossible for him to know what happened back then, and it is even more impossible for Gu to bring it up for no reason. As for you, it is not convenient for you to interfere in family affairs now. Who do you plan to let do it?"

This is also a problem that Xu Yixing is worried about, but just now, she has already thought of a solution.

"I'm going to let Granny He speak for herself." Xu Yixing's smile returned to his face. Granny He had lived for so long as a half-human, half-ghost, and it was enough.

Lu Anyuan understood and came over very tactfully: "Then is there anything I can help you with?"
