The prince's consort... It turns out that all this is because I am about to become the prince's consort.

She used family affection to force herself to forgive Gu, and then used the image of a loving father to make up for the years of debt. In this way, she could completely let go of her knot in her heart, marry Lu Anyuan with peace of mind, and then seek benefits for the Xu family and uphold her father's face.

Dad, you are really good at calculating.

If I hadn't died and continued to live a glorious life in the Duke's Mansion, would you have considered Yi Yan in this way?

If Yi Yan had no chance of becoming the prince's consort and had married someone at random, you wouldn't have said so much to her.

It is said that parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run, but your love, your love for Yi Yan, is conditional.

Xu Yixing's eyes turned red and tears fell. She felt sad for Yi Yan and felt it was not worth it for her.

Old Man Xu thought that what he said had worked, so he comforted her gently and asked Siqin to send the second young lady back.

Xu Yixing was very tired, more tired than ever before. Her family had always been her backer, and that had never changed. But from today on, this family had become a golden aura of benefit to her.

Everyone is bathed in this light, and everyone must protect it and contribute to it. This feeling is so strange that it gives her a headache and makes her uncomfortable.

"vomit!"

She couldn't help but vomited a mouthful of sour water - she hadn't eaten much today, so there was nothing to vomit.

Siqin anxiously brought her a spittoon, supported her back, and said, "Miss! I'll go get the palace doctor!"

"Come back!" Xu Yixing grabbed her sleeve with such force that Siqin was pulled to the ground.

"I, I'm fine. I just haven't eaten for a day and I'm so hungry that I'm having acid reflux."

"Ah? Oh! I'll serve you the food right away!"

Facing a large table of delicious food, Xu Yixing finally felt that his father had said something sensible: Eat when you should eat, drink when you should drink.

You have to take care of your own body. Even if the sky falls, I will still have three meals a day.

After today, if you want to be the same as before, loyal to the Xu family and to your father, you have to consider what benefits you have brought to me.

"Yingjiu, go tell them that I need to know the list of all the things Huixiang has sold. Not a single thing can be missed. This mission is the most important thing right now. You also go and move Yingwu to my side. He is proficient in disguise, right? Let him stay by my side and not hide in the dark. All of you go check for me."

When Yingjiu heard the order, he felt a little sad. He had followed the Second Young Lady for so long, how could he be replaced just like that?

"Yes. I'll be leaving now. Take care, young lady."

Xu Yixing wanted to know where the things his mother left behind had gone, and he would retrieve them all, regardless of the cost. Even if his father no longer cared about those things, he would still find them all.

She regretted that she shouldn't have used the things her mother left behind as bait to lure Gu into taking the bait. She didn't deserve it.

Dad is not worthy of it either. He let those things sit in the room for eighteen years without caring about them, and then someone stole them so easily. It was such a waste!

She suddenly missed her mother and the strange woman she had never met. How about finding some time to go to Bai's house?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Xu Yixing knew that he would have to realize it soon, maybe tomorrow.

I had no dreams that night. It seemed that I rarely had dreams after Yi Yan left.

The reason I used today was to tell Bai Fu what happened yesterday on behalf of my father. After all, it was something that Bai Fu had brought over, so if it was lost, we had to explain it.

In fact, Xu Yixing thought that her father would not agree, and she even thought of other excuses. However, when her father heard that she wanted to go to Bai Mansion to take her place, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling and agreed immediately.

"Xu Qian, take a look at my daughter, what do you think?"

"The Second Miss probably understood your painstaking efforts, which is why she said she would go to the Bai Mansion today."

Old Man Xu was very happy. He couldn't help feeling proud as he watched her leave.

"Speaking of daughters, Xing'er is naturally the best, but... Alas! Although Yan'er has made progress, she is still not as good as her sister."

"The eldest lady is the blood of our mistress, so she is naturally better than the child of a criminal slave."

There was murderous intent on Old Man Xu's face, like an old knife about to be unsheathed.

"How's the search for evidence going at the Sun Mansion?"

"Everything is ready, we are just waiting for an opportunity. Didn't the Second Prince persuade the Emperor to check the land? It should be done soon. But General, our own land is not clean either. I am afraid we will be affected. Do you think we should withdraw our hands in advance?"

"No need. His Majesty has been reluctant to issue the order because he knows that this matter involves too many people. When the time comes to investigate, every family will be implicated. But our family is fine. Wouldn't that make His Majesty suspicious?"

"Yes, General, you have a clear vision. I have almost finished the shop you asked me to buy for the young lady's dowry, and I haven't encountered much resistance from the Sun Mansion."

"Humph! They are in the wrong. When giving Yi Yan her dowry, pick a few of these for her. She has never managed a shop before. If we give her all of them, I'm afraid she won't be able to run it."

Xu Yixing didn’t know what her father was planning, but when she got the detailed list of her dowry in the future, she would probably have another grand rebirth.

The Xu Mansion was not too far from the Bai Mansion, only two streets away, but the facades faced different directions, so it took some time to get around.

Arriving in front of Bai's house, Xu Yixing almost didn't need to report, and drove straight in. After all, the carriage of Xu's house was marked, and although the two houses didn't travel every day, they still had to give gifts during festivals.

Her uncle had not returned home today, so it was her aunt who received her.

"I met my aunt."

"Good boy, you are here, come in with me."

Xu Yixing's aunt, Yan, was a very quiet person. She did not participate in social gatherings among noble ladies and acted like a hermit.

It's not because she is cold-hearted by nature, but it's her husband's duty to be in charge of the palace. The emperor wishes Bai Yu didn't have any friends at all, so she can only do this in accordance with his wishes.

Bai is Yi Yan's nominal mother, so there is no problem in calling her uncle and aunt.

"It's not a festival, how come you have time to come here today?" Yan spoke slowly, as if she was drunk.

"Something happened at home, and I'm here to tell you something."

"What happened?" Yan opened her eyes wide. She had heard about Yixing's situation a long time ago, so she was very worried and scared.

"The dowry that my grandfather prepared for my mother was stolen recently. My father is very upset and is doing his best to track it down."

Yan's face showed doubt, but soon returned to a calm expression: "Your father is too cautious. Since those things have been brought into the Xu Mansion, why should we pursue them?"
