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

Wu Xueyan lifted her trouser legs and could see her slightly deformed leg bones and ankles.

"This... But the last time I saw you, you had no problem walking."

"I used special shoes and had to tie them tightly with bandages to avoid leaving any marks."

Xu Yixing was silent. He had to dance with a body like this and become someone else's pawn for an unworthy person like Sun Ziyou.

"So, the assassination of the Seventh Prince by Sun Ziyou was not a coincidence at all, but a trap set by you deliberately?" Wu Xueyan was walking ahead just fine, but suddenly turned around and stopped to ask.

Of course Xu Yixing would not say it. She didn't even know the real intention of this person today, so how could she expose the Seventh Prince?

"I don't know. I heard about his relationship with the Seventh Prince from outside sources, but I don't know the inside story."

"I thought the Seventh Prince would tell you."

"Xue Yan, it's true that the Seventh Prince and I are engaged, but it doesn't mean that he has to report everything to me. Besides, there have been a lot of things going on in my family these days, and he has been under house arrest by the emperor and has not come out yet. How can you think that we are in collusion?"

Xu Yixing looked at her seriously. It was true that she wanted to save this girl, but if she was stubborn and still thinking about helping her grandson You to escape punishment, or providing some information to the Second Prince, then Xu Yixing would not mind sending her away directly.

"I'm just asking casually, don't take it seriously. But Yi Yan, when did you know that your sister was murdered?"

"I found out about it together with everyone else, on the day my brother brought her back."

"Really? But I heard that you visited her many times at the Sun Mansion, and you didn't find any problems with the substitute?"

"Xueyan, the stand-in's face was ruined. Not only me, but even my father didn't recognize me." It's impossible to trick me. Xu Yixing is now very sure that Wu Xueyan must have a purpose in looking for her.

"Oh. But you clearly said last time that Sun Ziyou had a problem with his character. Since you didn't notice anything at that time, why did you remind me of this?"

Xu Yixing was a little angry. He asked so many questions, and it was obvious that he was just gathering information for someone else.

"I said he had a problem with his character because I already knew that he had a mistress, but I didn't expect that person to be a substitute pretending to be my sister. Xueyan, I clearly helped you, why do you seem to be here to accuse me today?"

Wu Xueyan smiled apologetically and stopped asking: "Yes, I came here today to thank you, how did it turn out like this. Yi Yan, you are really a very good person. If only I could be like your sister and have a sister like you."

That’s right, I also think Yi Yan is very good, don’t try to snatch her from me.

"I just saw your servants carrying luggage, what's going on?"

When this matter was mentioned, Wu Xueyan finally had a smile on her face.

"Yi Yan, I'm leaving."

"Where?"

"Go, take a walk, just walk around and look around."

"Ah? Will your parents agree to this?" It's not convenient for an unmarried girl to show her face and walk around in public like this.

"It doesn't matter whether they agree or not. I'm determined to leave. Besides, it will be in their best interest if I leave."

Xu Yixing understood that now that the Sun family had fallen, Wu Xueyan's previous efforts were in vain.

The Sun family is in trouble. Whoever is close to him will be put on the fire. Moreover, any discerning person can see that General Xu is now concentrating on dealing with the Sun Mansion. Once the Sun Mansion is completely finished, how can the other guilty people have a good life?

"It's good to leave. You can finally be yourself."

"Be yourself? It's too early. Okay Yi Yan, I don't have anything good to give you. Your family doesn't need it anyway. I'll give you this feather order. It can mobilize the soldiers of the city defense department."

Xu Yixing subconsciously refused. This kind of thing was equivalent to a military token, not something that anyone could use.

"You don't have to rush to refuse. This is what my parents wanted. In fact, they are very grateful to you, but they dare not bother you. This thing can only help you open the city gates and so on. It can't mobilize the troops, so don't worry."

Xu Yixing thought about it and accepted it. He would decide whether to use it or not later.

"Thank you. But when will you be back?"

Wu Xueyan shook her head: "Maybe she won't come back."

Xu Yixing was shocked, but he also felt some inexplicable envy in his heart. Was he going to leave like this, abandoning his parents and family to travel alone?

"Well, then I wish you to step back and leave, and be free in the world."

Wu Xueyan understood the meaning of this. She was just doing something for someone else today, so she was not surprised at all that she was discovered. It would be a miracle if a smart woman like Xu Yiyan could not guess her purpose. So she could not believe a word she said.

"Actually, I have another wish. Since I don't have the chance to compete with your sister, why don't we have a competition?"

Xu Yixing was just what she wanted. She whistled to call her horse and jumped on it. Wu Xueyan also got on the horse, but it was obviously much more difficult.

Wu Xueyan raised her whip and said, "Let's go around the woods over there. Whoever reaches the north gate first wins."

Xu Yixing took a look at the terrain. There were just a few more trees, so he just had to be careful to avoid them.

"Gee!" Xu Yixing ran out at full speed. She hadn't ridden a horse for a long time. The feeling of galloping on the road again fascinated her.

Xu Yixing arrived at the north gate early amidst the dust. When he looked back, Wu Xueyan was at least three steps away from him.

"Sorry, sorry, it's an unfair victory!" Xu Yixing raised his hands and clasped his fists. He was in a good mood after running such a lap.

"It seems that I am indeed inferior to others in skills. Miss Yi Yan, if you can't stay in the capital anymore, you are welcome to join me!"

"sure."

Xu Yixing said goodbye to Wu Xueyan and continued to drive into the city. No matter why she came to see him today, her purpose was frustrated.

Wu Xueyan watched the Xu family's carriage enter the city before urging the horse back to the woods.

A group of men in black rushed out, all holding their breath and staring at her intently. From behind the group of people came a man, also on horseback, with an unhappy look on his face.

"Second Prince, I have already fulfilled your request. Can I leave now?" Wu Xueyan was very respectful to the Second Prince and spoke very carefully.

"You did it? I asked you to ask her about her flaws, but you didn't get anything out of her. I asked you to lead her deep into the woods, but you took her to the edge of the city. Xueyan, did you misunderstand what I said?"

"Second Miss Xu may really not know."

"You! I gave you a chance to save your beloved, and this is how you saved him? Xueyan, don't forget who saved you in the first place!"
