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

"They are all out, just say what you want to say." Xu Yixing sat upright at the table, stroking the skirt with his hands, with a serious expression.

"Master, you have finally found the lost items you were looking for."

Ever since they recognized each other as their master, the terms between Shadow Guard and Xu Yixing became "master" and "subordinate", and they no longer called each other "Second Miss" or something like that as before.

"explain."

"We found the golden leopard you described in the border troops. It is now in the hands of Lieutenant General Chen. It was sent to the army a month or two ago. Lieutenant General Chen liked it very much and held a banquet for everyone to see. This is the image we drew. Please take a look."

Xu Yixing took the palm-sized piece of paper and could tell from the charcoal-black lines that it was the huge golden leopard that he had lost.

This was the foreign trophy that Grandfather Bai captured during his overseas expeditions. It was so valuable that the late emperor issued an edict to reward Grandfather and gave this thing to him. Grandfather gave more to Mother, and that’s how it came to the Xu Mansion.

"Yes, that's it. Is the Admiral Chen you mentioned the general from the northern border?"

"Exactly."

Xu Yixing was silent. In fact, when she saw the small piece of paper, she knew it must be her father's doing. It is said that it is difficult to guard against thieves in the house. Now the thief and the father are stealing together. It is really hard to figure out what they are doing.

As for this golden leopard, although it is very old, as long as you carefully check the detailed records of rewards from the previous emperor's generation, you will be able to see that my father is really bold. He dared to give away the rewards from the previous emperor at will to win people's hearts. He really wants his life to be too long.

Or does dad think that the situation in the north cannot be reported to the capital anyway, so he has nothing to fear?

It’s hard to say!

"What about other things?"

"Most of them have some traces on the black market, but this is the only one that has been found in person."

Xu Yixing nodded to show encouragement, knowing that it was not easy for them to do this. As long as there was such substantial evidence, his doubts would be answered.

"I'm afraid it's not easy to get this thing back, right?"

Ying Wu was silent for a while, then he clasped his hands and said, "Master, if you give the order, we will do our best."

What a great effort! Are these people going to charge into the Northern Border camp with force, or are they going to steal in the middle of the night? It's funny to think about it. Such sincere and loyal subordinates. I must have been crazy to think they were a burden before.

"No need. I told you not to make unnecessary losses. Since this thing has entered the military camp, it must be related to my father. Once you take action, my father will definitely know. Be careful to track down the remaining things. If there is any danger, just withdraw your hands and don't be stubborn."

"Yes."

"What's going on with the people following Wu Xueyan?"

"You're right. Miss Wu San had just left the capital not far when she was ambushed by bandits. Fortunately, she escaped. Miss Wu should be fleeing south now, but the journey is too far and the people who followed her have not sent back any new news."

The second prince is really a very cruel guy. He kills the donkey after it has done its work and then destroys the bridge after it has crossed the river. He has done the worst.

"Okay, I understand. That's it for now. Tell everyone to be more careful about safety. I shouldn't have anything else to do recently, so please just focus on the tasks at hand."

"Yes, I am resigning."

Ying Wu went out again with the teacup in his hand. Xu Yixing did not move for a long time. After a while, when the candle on the table was about to burn out, she raised her right hand and gently knocked the last half of the candle to the ground, and the room fell into darkness.

She couldn't understand why her mother had been dead for so long, but her father was still so careful in handling her belongings. Who was he afraid of?

At first she thought he was afraid of the Shadow Guards, but now the Shadow Guards have recognized their master, their whereabouts are all under her control, and no one is watching her father's actions, so he should not be afraid of them.

Later, she thought that her father was afraid of the emperor. After all, the Bai family had a lot of things, and the emperor knew something about it. But today, just because her father dared to secretly transfer property to the general in the northern border, and the general even held a banquet to show off, she knew that her father was not afraid of the emperor's investigation.

Who could it be? It couldn't be that my father was afraid of my mother's ghost, could it? This was too absurd. Besides, my mother died giving birth to me, not because someone dragged her to death or she died during sex. What a joke.

Could it be that Dad is afraid of the current person in power in the Bai Mansion, his uncle Bai Yu?

This didn't make sense. How could his father ever take him seriously? He was just a distant relative. Apart from the fact that he asked him to report a theft last time, which was a bit strange, it was completely impossible to see that his father had any other feelings for them.

But no matter what the reason is, Xu Yixing's image of his father has long been greatly reduced. He has fallen from the image of a kind father to a biased, selfish, utilitarian, and tolerant person who can play such a role. It is really sad.

Xu Yixing suddenly became very curious. When his mother married his father, did she also discover that this man was not what he said on the outside? If she did, how would she react?

For no apparent reason, she suddenly thought of Lu Anyuan. Like herself, Lu Anyuan's mother died young, and his father was the emperor. The royal family never had true and pure family affection. She wondered if he would have the same confusion as herself when facing his emperor father.

I really want to meet him!

Although Xu Yixing was shocked by her inexplicable idea, she quickly came to her senses. Lu Anyuan was very good, but it was not like he loved her. At most, he didn't hate her and used her.

What's more, after interacting with Lu Anyuan for these days, she can feel that he is not a pure person. It is naturally a good thing if such people can use and support each other.

As for feelings, that's not something she should consider.

After thinking this through, Xu Yixing's worries suddenly reduced by more than half. His recent plan should be to meet his grandson You as soon as possible, ask him why he killed him, and then leave this family and this inexplicable father as soon as possible.

As for the rest, she would consider it after the wedding. It was estimated that by that time, she would not have many enemies. It would be great to be able to live a carefree life, just like before. This was her biggest wish now.

"Same as before? Humph, wishful thinking!"

In the darkness, she read out the thoughts in her mind, reciting them in a self-deprecating manner. How could it be the same as before? She had died once before, and her identity was no longer the same as before. After experiencing and seeing the faces of the people around her, everything was different.

That's it for now, go to bed first.
