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

"What about her?"

"It's just a drug. We won't kill anyone without receiving an order to do so."

"Oh..." Xu Yixing slowly walked out from behind the Arhat statue and observed the man. Seeing that he didn't make any moves, he dared to walk out.

"You don't have to panic. If I wanted to kill you, you would have died just now. You have the token with you. What do you want me to do?"

This is true. Not to mention Yi Yan's body, even if it was my own body, I wouldn't be able to beat him.

"I say, how old are you? Aren't you a little young to be a shadow guard?"

"Twenty."

"Twenty, you? Ha! If you're twenty, then I'm forty!"

The man didn't want to dwell on the matter any further, so he just repeated it again and asked her what she was doing there.

"Didn't they say there were nine of you? Why are you the only one?" Xu Yixing said, looking at those Arhats. It is said that the Shadow Guards are good at hiding, so could you be among this group?

"You're in such big trouble that you need all nine of us?"

"Oh, yes, where are the people?"

The man thought about it and took Xu Yixing out of the underground palace. Xu Yixing was worried about Siqin, but the man said that it would be fine if she fell asleep here, so Xu Yixing had to give up.

Following that person, we went out of the temple’s back door and climbed the mountain road for a long time before we saw a small courtyard.

"please."

Xu Yi walked into the yard, but didn't see anyone. He then entered the room, only to see eight people flying out, all masked, staring at him.

"Where did this fly from..."

The young monk asked her to sit on the chair, and then said to everyone: "Everyone, this girl is in big trouble, and we need to act at the same time." After that, he stood in the team and listened quietly to Xu Yixing's instructions.

"Um... ahem! Hello everyone, thank you for your hard work. I am Xu Yi... Yan. I came here today mainly to make you recognize me as my master, so I require you all to be here."

After hearing this, the nine people looked at each other, and the one standing in the front stepped out and said, "Second Miss, we are the shadow guards of the eldest lady. How can we recognize you as our master?"

"You know me? That's easy. I heard that you haven't recognized your master yet, so naturally whoever has the token will be the boss. What's your name?"

"I don't have a name. You can call me Yingyi. Although we have not acknowledged our master, we know who we are working for. If you have the token, we will obey you. However, I'm sorry that I cannot obey your order to acknowledge our master."

Xu Yixing stared at Ying Yi's eyes for a long time. There was no hesitation in his eyes, which were firm and stubborn. He was indeed a shadow guard. This was the right energy.

Xu Yixing is a natural born young lady, she has a mysterious self-confidence, as if nothing in this world can knock her down. Her eyes are full of pride and amusement, as if she is looking at a dog with a bad temper.

Therefore, after being stared at for a long time, Yingyi was thinking in his heart that this little girl was something special and was definitely not a good person.

Her fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, tapping the beat of her favorite song.

After a while, he said, "Xu Yixing is dead, and Nanny Bai is also dead. This plaque was left to me by Nanny Bai for revenge."

Ying Yi shook her head contemptuously. Although her tone was respectful, she was still timid in her heart. She was really a child to use such a hasty excuse.

"Second Miss, this is inconsistent with the information we know."

"You haven't been down the mountain for a long time, so you don't know what's happening down there."

"Even so, if the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion and the Xu Mansion died, it would definitely not be so peaceful."

"Alas! How stupid! You are such an unqualified shadow guard. All the people you are supposed to protect are dead, and you are still cultivating in this mountain."

Yingyi had a hint of anger in his eyes, but he didn't show it. You can question anything, but it's impossible to say that they didn't protect their master.

"If you don't believe me, go and see the current Madam Sun. You are shadow guards, so you should know what the art of disguise is. And Madam Bai, she was burned to ashes outside the east gate."

Yingyi thought for a moment and said, “Yingwu, go and take a look tonight.”

One person in the queue clasped his hands and bowed to show that he would obey orders.

"Well, if what I said is true, do you accept it?"

"Miss, don't worry. We will let you know after we confirm it tonight."

Xu Yixing jumped off the chair and gave orders without hesitation: "You guys can investigate, but I haven't told you my mission yet.

First, after you have verified the death of the eldest lady tonight, help me find where her body is. It is possible that it has been burned. But you should look for it first. She died in the room of the young master of the Sun Mansion at midnight on September 18th. This is all I know.

Second, although Nanny Bai’s body was burned, there might be some traces left behind. You can check to see if you can find out the cause of death.

Third, on September 30th, Mrs. Gu Shuang from the Xu family was sprayed with Mala diarrhea on her way back from a pilgrimage. You must tell this to the noble ladies in the capital. The more people who know, the better.

Fourth, there used to be a little maid named Xiaosui in the Xu mansion. She was driven out of the mansion a year ago. Please help me find where she is now. Hide her in the temple. I want her whether she is alive or dead.

Fifth, there was a young man named Xu living in the back street of Xu’s mansion. He died of an infectious disease last year. His wife, who was not yet married to the family, was named Cai.

Xu Housheng has a younger brother who is a scholar. He has gone out with his master to gain more experience. I don’t care what method you use, but you must ensure that he comes back before the New Year, not earlier and not later. "

Yingyi listened to Xu Yixing giving orders, and for a moment her mind was shaken. This was the aura they imagined their master should have, with a thoughtful mind and full of momentum. But was she telling the truth...

"Yes."

"Also, I want someone to follow me, both for protection and to pass on messages. My identity restricts me a lot."

Yingyi thought for a moment and called out a person: "This is Yingjiu, he follows you."

Xu Yixing nodded and walked out the door happily. Before leaving, he turned back to look at the little monk and asked, "Are you Yingji?"

"Shadow Four."

"Are you really twenty?" Xu Yixing didn't get angry when he didn't get a reply. He still skipped out the door.

Half of the purpose of coming here today has been achieved. Although I did not succeed in getting the shadow guard to recognize him as my master, at least I can finally get out of the house and don't have to be trapped in the mansion every day.

Xu Yixing returned to the temple along the original route. She had a good memory and used to go hunting on horseback. She could handle any complicated road conditions with ease, and no other noble lady in the capital could match her.

When her marriage to Sun Ziyou was first decided, most of the young ladies in the capital secretly breathed a sigh of relief - their biggest competitor was finally gone.

Of course, Xu Yixing had no idea about the thoughts of these young ladies. At that time, she was just having fun and competing for beauty, wasting her best years.

When he returned to the temple, although he could not see Ying Jiu, Xu Yixing knew that he had been following him secretly.

Alas! There is no other way. To enjoy the protection brought by the shadow guard, you must endure the discomfort of being watched all the time. Which is more important? The situation is pressing.
