Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy
Chapter 31 Pomegranate Flower
Xu Yixing said a lot of things in a row, then showed a very "sincere" smile, waiting for the Seventh Prince's response.
After listening to this, Lu Anyuan remained indifferent, and just kept staring at Xu Yixing's face. The bruises on his face must have been very painful...
Xu Yixing felt that there was only awkwardness between them. She smiled until her face was sore, but Lu Anyuan still didn't react. Look, no one would believe me even if I told them, but you still forced me to tell you, humph!
"You said you were Xu Yixing, so when was the first time we met?" Lu Anyuan asked suddenly again.
Xu Yixing was a little confused. I don't remember the first time I saw you. If you want to blame someone, blame it on you being too inconspicuous. How would I know when I saw you?
"Well... was it at the palace banquet for the Queen's birthday? No, no, it should be earlier. Was it the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony five years ago? Uh, no, let me think about it. When was it..."
Others might still be confused, but Lu Anyuan would not be that stupid. This is Xu Yixing, she is always dazzling, always in the spotlight, always the focus, and naturally she would not remember a small supporting role like herself.
"So when was the last time we met?"
Ah, I remember this, Xu Yixing blurted out: "It was at the racecourse in the suburbs two years ago."
At that time, she and her grandson You had just been engaged, and they said it was a horse race, but in fact, they were just looking for an opportunity to meet and show off. That was also the last time the Seventh Prince appeared in front of her, and he even gave her a black bear that he had killed himself.
Lu Anyuan nodded, admitting it. After she and Sun Ziyou got engaged, he never appeared in front of her again, always secretly watching from afar, because he was afraid that if he got close, she would want to kill himself for talking nonsense in front of the emperor.
"See, I was right." Xu Yixing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This time he was finally right.
Lu Anyuan actually wanted to ask more questions to confirm Xu Yixing's identity, but there was nothing he could do. He and Xu Yixing had very little personal relationship, or even no personal relationship at all. So he couldn't do anything more like he did to test Xu Yiyan.
"You said that it was Sun Ziyou who poisoned you to death?"
"Yes, he used poisoned wine. My dear Aunt Bai, she must have discovered something and was silenced."
"No wonder you ran so fast outside the Duke's Mansion that day, it turned out it was because you were her..."
You are her? Why is this statement so strange? However, Xu Yixing didn't bother to find fault. His life was at stake, so he didn't care about these things.
"Who is Yingjiu? You have a shadow guard, right?"
"Well... it was left to me by my grandfather, but they didn't acknowledge me as their master. They just regarded me as Xu Yiyan and didn't completely listen to me."
"This doesn't make sense. Since the Shadow Guard is here, why didn't you call him?"
"Because he told me that the guy next to you is an expert, and if he gets too close he'll be discovered. I told him not to get close to me, but I forgot about it in a hurry just now and that's why I shouted..."
Xu Yixing felt that all his cards were exposed today, his identity was revealed, and the affairs of the shadow guard were also known. Now he could only wait and see whether this person wanted to harm him or help him. Alas, how miserable!
"You know, I can verify these things. If you are lying..."
"Then just send your guards to our house to arrest people and burn me to death as if I were a witch." Xu Yixing was full of indignation. She had already told everything, yet she still had to endure such threats and doubts. It was so unfair!
Lu Anyuan saw the fierce look in her eyes, and felt relieved. Yes, this is very good for Xu Yixing. She never needs to explain her actions to others.
"One last question. You took over Yi Yan's body, so where did she go?"
Haha, they are having an affair indeed. Even after this, he is still concerned about where his sister is going.
"I don't know, maybe he's dead, or maybe he's passed on to someone else like me..."
She was really a little sad when she said this. If it was someone else, there might still be a possibility of getting it back; but if it was because she had invaded her body and killed her, there would be really no way to compensate her.
"So what do you mean by asking me to help you?"
Xu Yixing didn't see any sadness on his face, but rather a hint of excitement. Is this guy crazy?
"Um... that is, although I have the help of the shadow guards, they are not people who can do things openly. It is too difficult for me to bring down the Duke's Mansion by myself. I need help. Maybe for Xu Yiyan's sake, you will help me?"
What nonsense are you talking about, Yixing! As long as you ask, is there anything I won’t do for you?
His hands behind his back were shaking like crazy, but Lu Anyuan's voice was steady: "Say it out, I want to hear it."
Xu Yixing swallowed his saliva and said the part that Shadow Guard couldn't do:
"Rongqingtang, Yang's Silk Shop, Wang's Bookstore, Tianbao Inn, Zhufengxuan, Treasure House, Jiangnan Restaurant... You know all these stores in Beijing, right?"
Hearing this series of more than ten names, Lu Anyuan almost immediately understood what Xu Yixing was going to do.
"These are all your stepmother Gu's assets. Are you going to take action against her?"
"How do you know?" These industries are not big stores. How could a prince know such trivial things?
Oh! It must be because he likes Xu Yiyan that he asked about the family situation early on. Oh, this pair of crazy men and women~ Xu Yixing covered his mouth to prevent himself from laughing out loud.
"What are you laughing at?" Could it be that she felt that I had investigated her family's background and believed that she was acting shady and was laughing at her?
"Nothing, I just think Your Highness is quite attentive to our family affairs. I continued, I hope Your Highness can help me clean up these shops, openly, not secretly.
For example, checking the tax situation, it would be best to find out the mistakes and make them unable to make any money from now until the New Year. It would be even better if they can bleed a little!"
The words “Don’t be sneaky” hit the nail on the head for Lu Anyuan: Yixing really felt that he was not doing the right thing. Yixing, Yixing, you are a pomegranate flower that blooms in the sun, how could you know the pain of me, a rotten leaf in the deep palace?
But even if the leaves are rotten, he would be happy to use them as fertilizer for the pomegranate flowers.
"It's not difficult, don't worry. Is there anything else? Don't you want to avenge yourself first and kill Sun Ziyou?" Lu Anyuan now hates Sun Ziyou more than Xu Yixing. He hates him as much now as he was jealous of him before.
"I am waiting for the Sun family to bury me. There is no need to rush."
"Oh." He had forgotten that Yixing had such a personality. Only when such an arrogant tone came from Xu Yixing's mouth would he feel that it was true.
"By the way, if you have any news for me, you can ask Ah Da to come to me. He is a master anyway, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to get into the mansion, right?"
