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

Chapter 281 Embarrassment before the Banquet

Well... maybe he still has a bit of clarity of mind.

"Then him?"

"The eldest son said that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. Since reading ten thousand books cannot bring him any success, he plans to travel all over the country to experience the splendor of our Great Xia."

Xu Yixing's eyes immediately lit up when he heard this. Why couldn't you take me along for such a good thing?!

"Did he say when he was leaving?"

"It will be around these two days. The eldest master also said that you don't need to worry about it."

Xu Yixing's face turned slightly cold. Sure enough, Yiwen was holding a grudge against him. Perhaps he had learned that his father ended up like this because he helped Lu Anyuan rebel, or perhaps he had already known that he was the one who sent his father on his last journey, so it was reasonable for him to hate him.

"Give him ten thousand taels of silver from my account. If he refuses to take it, you can say that you want to die in front of him."

"Ah?" This time Si Wen was dumbfounded. How could he threaten you in this way? Shouldn't he kill you if he doesn't accept it? . . . "Isn't this bad?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. For a young man like him, ten thousand taels is not enough when he goes out. I just hope that if something happens to him in the future, he can still remember that there is someone like me in the capital, and not be so proud of himself that he puts himself at risk."

"Yes, then I will go to Xu's house again tomorrow."

"By the way, remind him again that the emperor will go to the hunting grounds for autumn hunting in the middle of the month. If he wants to leave, make sure he leaves early."

"Yes." Si Wen didn't understand the relationship between the two, but she didn't need to understand. After writing them all down, she left in a hurry.

"Ah!" Xu Yixing picked up the box on the shelf, on which was still a clay figurine that Yiwen had given him when he was a girl. However, the clay figurine, no matter how well it was preserved, had begun to show some fine cracks, which at first glance added a sense of horror.

She took out the scattered clay figurine of the old man from the bottom, blew away the dust, and threw it into the fruit shell plate. The person is gone, the past is like smoke, but the remaining four little figures are also very cute, aren't they?

Lu Anyuan was still beaming with joy when he came back today. Although he still didn't say anything, Xu Yixing could indeed feel his joy. Humph, isn't it just being a prince? What's there to be proud of!

Just seeing Lu Anyuan working hard in bed, I knew that he was anxious for the little prince again. Unfortunately, I couldn't scold him, after all, he really had the throne to inherit.

Si Wen left home early in the morning, but when he came back to report, he looked helpless.

"Madam, I was late. The eldest master left the city early in the morning and I didn't see him at all."

At that time, Xu Yixing had just woken up. He looked at Si Wen with sleepy eyes and a tear fell. This family was finally drifting apart.

"But he did leave a letter for you, Madam." Si Wen handed over an unsigned envelope. Xu Yixing took it hastily and opened it to read:

It is better to speak, seeing the letter is like seeing the person.

Leaving without saying goodbye is really ungentlemanly. However, I am so worried about my brother that I can't sleep. I look so haggard. It is better not to see you. It is better not to see you.

We say farewell today, we will meet again someday, don’t worry.

"Why don't we meet? He really blames me..." Xu Yixing folded the letter and put it back in the envelope. Yiwen looked careless, but he was very determined. Just look at how he didn't come back for three years. If he left, I'm afraid they wouldn't meet again.

"Miss, do you want to let the shadow guard follow you?" Si Wen has been working with her for a long time now and can see through her mind at a glance.

But Xu Yixing waved his hands, unwilling to do so: "This time is different. If he never comes back, do I have to let the shadow guard follow him forever? Forget it. He is so determined that he doesn't want to see me for the last time. What else can I say?"

Wash your face, put on makeup, and cheer up, because the autumn hunt is waiting for you.

In the middle of the month, the emperor led all the civil and military officials to the royal hunting ground. However, the grass was all withered and yellow, and there was even white frost hanging on it in the cold mornings. It was really a bleak feeling.

Xu Yixing has already put on his cloak. This weather is no joke. If he gets sick, it will be more trouble than it’s worth.

As soon as the emperor arrived at the hunting ground, he couldn't wait to show off his new sword to his ministers. Everyone shouted "Long live the emperor" three times, and the autumn hunt began.

Xu Yixing looked at the emperor from afar with a smug look on his face. His cheeks were flushed red. If you didn't know him well, you would think he had won a great victory.

This year's autumn hunt was particularly quiet. The court had just dealt with a group of people, and the new recruits had not yet fully adapted to the official environment, so everyone was a little reserved. With Xu Xianshan as an example, even the old generals avoided suspicion and did not hang around in front of the emperor, so naturally the young generals could show up more.

The race was nearly halfway through and the emperor was happily counting this year's prey. He still had to eat barbecue and drink deer wine in the evening, so how could he not be happy!

Lu Anyuan did not stand out too much. He just followed the rules and earned two musk deer, which he presented to the emperor, and he seemed to be very satisfied with the emperor.

While grilling meat in the evening, the emperor accepted the praises of his ministers, but suddenly he coughed lightly and turned his gaze towards the table of Prince Xiaoyi.

Here it comes! Not only Xu Lu and his companions put down their chopsticks, but also the ministers and princes at the table looked at the emperor, waiting to hear what he had to say.

"My Lords, the fact that the civil strife was quelled this time can be attributed to one person."

The ministers understood what he meant, and naturally they were preparing to reward the Seventh Prince. Although you and your son acted together to deceive your brother, his father-in-law, and all of us ministers, we are all generous people, and as soon as you open your mouth, we will immediately praise you!

Only Xu Yixing's ears moved slightly. What does "还" mean? The emperor's pronunciation of the word "隆" is very strange, with the emphasis on "还" instead of "要". This is obviously to praise someone other than Lu Anyuan... Is it not directed at me?

As expected, the emperor smiled and said, "Princess Xiaoyi, this time you left the palace to persuade General Xu. Your words are of great significance and your contribution is invaluable."

"Hiss!" The ministers were dumbfounded. What was going on? Didn't you order Xu Xianshan to be poisoned? Could it be that this procedure was done by Miss Xu Er? Oh my god, my daughter killed me!

Although the emperor did not add any crime to Xu Xianshan, everyone knew that he was sentenced to death for treason, but before that, everyone thought it was Commander Bai who did it. Now, it sounded like Second Miss Xu was "killing her own relatives for the sake of justice"? Immediately, everyone looked over and stared at the person sitting in the seat.

Xu Yixing's heart almost flew out of his chest at this moment. Damn it, are you going to put me in trouble and let the whole capital know that I killed my father?

It was shameful enough that Lu Anyuan cheated on his father-in-law, and now he also killed his own father. Aren’t they a perfect match?

Lu Anyuan's face was not looking good either. He didn't understand why his father would expose this matter in public. Was he trying to make his family lose their lives?
