The weather in June was extremely hot. Xu Yixing was drunk and stood in the yard for a long time before the smell of alcohol on his body was half gone.

Just as he was about to go in, he saw Yi Wen passing by the gate of his courtyard, and he didn't know where he was going.

"Xu Yiwen! Come in!" Xu Yixing was leaning against the gate of the courtyard, waving a handkerchief with one hand to fan himself, and waving the other hand at Xu Yiwen, signaling him to come quickly.

Xu Yiwen was on the road when he suddenly froze for a moment. He turned around and saw that it was his sister calling him in the yard. Strange, did she just call my name?

"Yi Yan, have you been drinking?" Xu Yiwen walked closer and smelled a strong smell of alcohol.

"Yes, I drank a little, but not much, hahaha."

"You, who did you drink with?"

"Lu Anyuan, Zhenxiu Restaurant, it's really delicious."

Xu Yiwen saw his sister's hazy eyes and knew that she was really drunk. He helped Xu Yixing back to the room and asked Siqin to clean up for her, but was driven out by Xu Yixing.

"Everyone leave! I'm going to interrogate you, everyone else stay away!"

Siqin and the young master looked at each other and went out with their people. Who knew what the second young lady was doing today after getting drunk? It was all the fault of the seventh prince, who always took the second young lady to do whatever she wanted!

"Yi Yan, you want to interrogate me? What do you want to interrogate me about?" Xu Yiwen smiled as if he was teasing a child.

"Humph." Xu Yixing said coldly, not joking at all: "Lu Anyuan said that you want to find someone to go to the prison. Let me ask you, what do you want to do, huh?"

Xu Yiwen's eyelids jumped. How could the Seventh Prince use Yi Yan's mouth to warn him? Otherwise, why would he tell Yi Yan about this?

"Yi Yan, you must have heard me wrong. Why would I go to the Heavenly Prison? I think the Seventh Prince is playing a trick on you." Xu Yiwen stepped forward and handed Xu Yixing a cup of tea to help her sober up, but she did not take it.

"You want to kill Sun Ziyou to avenge Xu Yixing, but he will definitely die. I advise you not to do this, otherwise you will hurt others and yourself, and my father and I will be implicated by you!"

Something is wrong. Yi Yan is very wrong today. His tone is wrong, the address is wrong, everything is wrong.

"I did ask the people in the prison, but they were heavily guarded and I didn't go in. Yi Yan, you should get some sleep. We can talk when you sober up."

After Xu Yiwen finished speaking, he turned around and tried to leave, but was grabbed harshly by the sleeve.

"You have already had the intention to kill and have tried to do it. The only difference is that you haven't done it yet. This is not a good thing. Only the emperor and the Ministry of Justice can determine the crime of Sun Ziyou. If he dies before his crime is confirmed, it will arouse suspicion. If the Duke's Mansion ever makes a comeback, they will definitely use this as an excuse. Do you understand?"

Speaking of hatred, who could hate Sun Ziyou more than Xu Yixing herself? But she still endured it and planned how to kill him. Xu Yiwen was filled with hatred and chose the simplest method, not even trying to cover up her tracks. It was inevitable that her opponent would catch her.

Xu Yiwen stopped when he heard this and gently pushed Yixing's hand away: "Yiyan, how do you know how much I hate you."

He moved a chair and sat beside the bed, looking Xu Yixing in the eye. "Before my eldest sister got into trouble, everyone said that the Xu family's ancestral grave had good feng shui and that they raised a good daughter, saying that the father was blessed. After the accident, everyone said that the Xu family was really lucky, because when one person died, another one immediately took his place, and married a better daughter than her sister."

Xu Yiwen shook his head as he spoke, as if compared to Xu Yixing he was the drunkard.

"But who mentioned me again? I am the only son of the Xu family!" Xu Yiwen slapped his sleeve hard, hitting the air with a not-so-loud explosion.

"Hehe...sister, I am the only son of the Xu family. But over the years, first there was your sister, and then there was you. I seem to have become a non-existent person, but I am not jealous at all. I am very happy for you. I think it is good for our family to continue living like this."

Xu Yiwen looked up and saw his sister frowning, as if thinking about something. Her blushing face made him feel strange. It was like a child wearing adult clothes, which was very incongruous.

"Unfortunately, everything changed after my sister married Sun Ziyou. Yi Yan, I really tried, but, but the friends I made and the money I spent were all useless. No one was willing to help me. I couldn't even bribe a jailer!"

Xu Yiwen's voice was excited and trembling, as if he was in great pain.

"Dad will find a way, brother, don't be impulsive." Xu Yixing had actually sobered up a long time ago. Her mind had always been clear. She just wanted to take advantage of the alcohol to meet Xu Yiwen, but she didn't expect him to have such a big reaction.

"Dad has a plan, you have a plan, even the Seventh Prince has a plan, everyone has a plan, why can't I have one!"

"Because your plan is too stupid. I told you that even Lu Anyuan could find out that you bribed the jailer. Could it be that our other enemies couldn't notice it? Everyone is waiting for you to make a mistake and waiting to catch you."

Xu Yiwen pulled himself out of his anger and lowered his head slightly. In fact, he felt guilty. He knew that his plan was too shallow, but he couldn't understand what his father was going to do, and he didn't even understand what his sister and the seventh prince were doing all day. It felt like the whole family was working towards a common goal, but no one was taking him out to play.

"Even so, I have to do something, Yi Yan. I don't want to be a waste. I hope you can understand me."

"I can't understand. If you don't want to be a waste, then go and earn, rob, and work hard. But you haven't done anything. Years ago, Gu's company deducted your expenses and drove away a group of people in your courtyard, and you didn't even say a word! If it was my sister who encountered this situation, do you think she would scratch Gu's face?"

Xu Yiwen's throat tightened a little. These things sounded particularly harsh and unpleasant coming from his sister's mouth, but they were the facts and he couldn't refute them.

"You... don't say that to me... Gu's company deducted your money more severely. You, we are the same, how can you compare with my sister..."

Silly brother, how could you think Yi Yan is the same as you? She is a hundred thousand times smarter and more capable than you!

Xu Yixing was really disappointed with his son. This was the disadvantage of having only one boy in the family. No matter how bad he was, his father and Gu family would back him up. Even if he was neither good at literature nor martial arts, his father would still ensure his safety for the rest of his life. This was how he developed the "good habit" of never fighting or competing!

"Why do you think I'm the same as you?" Xu Yixing began to show her sarcastic smile again, with a smile on her lips, a cold voice, and disdain in her eyes.

"If I am really like you, then how did Mrs. Gu die? How did Mrs. Gu lose her position as housekeeper? How did the people around her get killed one by one?"
