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

"No accidents? Then why did my mother get sick?"

"Mrs. Liu's birth was indeed smooth. Her illness... well... was not caused by childbirth."

Speaking of Aunt Liu, Grandma He was not as calm as before. She kept twisting and turning in her chair, as if she had something to hide.

"Just tell me what you want to say. I can bear it."

"Okay... Second Miss, do you know about your mother's identity?"

"Yes, she is a criminal slave."

"Yes, and she is not an ordinary criminal slave. Let me put it this way. She is, she is in the official prostitute camp, you understand?"

This... I don't think I've ever heard of it. But it makes sense to say this, just like when Sun Ziyou was worried about his family, his immediate family members were exiled, and the servants were sold off. As for where they were sold to, sometimes they had no choice.

"Grandma He, if I understand correctly, you are saying that my mother's postpartum illness is not due to childbirth, but because of her previous experience?"

"Yes, but that can't be said. Giving birth only aggravated her original condition. As for why she suddenly passed away after so many years, I don't know."

"Mrs. Gu said that my mother would never have another child after giving birth to me. Is this true?"

"Indeed. And she also suggested that I do something, but you know me, I won't do it."

Xu Yixing fell silent again. So, although Gu and Mrs. Gu had the intention to harm others, they did not succeed.

The two aunts died, one from suicide and the other from an old illness and sleeping with my father.

Xu Yixing really couldn't say anything. Her mother died because of giving birth to her. Although she had guessed it long ago, once it was confirmed, she was the only one who knew how upset she felt.

"Grandma He, thank you anyway. I was too abrupt today. I hope you can forgive me."

"Miss, you are too polite. In fact, over the years, there have been people like you who have come to ask me about my family's past. I have told you everything I know, and what I don't know will become history. Miss, I hope you can accept my condolences. By the way! When you marry the Seventh Prince, you must ask me to deliver your baby!"

Xu Yixing fled in panic. What the hell, you are like an ox-headed and horse-faced monster, and you specifically target the women of our Xu family. How dare I look for you!

After leaving the He family, Xu Yixing got on the carriage and returned, sitting in the carriage with Si Wen. They were silent for a long time, and no one spoke.

"Miss, this Granny He is such a good person." Si Wen praised sincerely. Xu Yixing nodded lightly, his thoughts elsewhere.

Seeing this, Si Wen knew that the young lady was sad, so he deliberately found a topic to talk about: "Look at Granny He, she is already seventy years old, but her ears are not deaf, her eyes are not blurry, and her memory is still so good. She is really amazing!"

"Yes." Xu Yixing lowered his head. He was still lost in his memories, but suddenly he became clear-headed. "You, can you say it again?"

"Ah?" Si Wen was frightened by Xu Yixing's reaction. He looked at her and didn't say anything else.

"Si Wen, you're right. It's been twenty years. Which normal person would remember this clearly?"

"But...what do you mean?"

"If it's about the dangerous situations, it's reasonable for her to remember them, but why does she remember so clearly about the smooth birth like my mother's?"

"This... maybe we just happened to talk about our family, so she remembered it all at once."

"She just said clearly that the last time she went to the Xu Mansion was to deliver my mother's baby, but why did she know that my mother died of illness a few years later? Could it be that there was someone in the mansion who informed her of the news?"

"Then... then you doubt?" Si Wen also understood Xu Yixing's point, and his heart was in turmoil.

"Si Wen, call a few shadow guards tonight and let's go to the He family again!"

Xu Yixing just didn't believe it. His ancestral grave had good feng shui, so how could the mothers all die while the children were fine? This didn't make sense.

Just now, Granny He answered questions fluently without any stumbling. This is definitely not normal!

After returning to the mansion, Xu Yixing first went to the ancestral hall in the backyard and burned a few incense sticks for his mothers who had died early.

"Mother, if you are still alive, please bless me and help me to track down the culprit and punish the evildoers. And at the same time, help me escape from Lu Anyuan's clutches. Your daughter will be grateful to you forever!"

He bowed three times and then went back to his room to have lunch.

I heard that Lu Anyuan invited me to have tea, but Xu Yixing was avoiding him, so he refused. I have something important to do right now, who has time to play around with you!

It was a dark and windy night, a good night for killing. Under the cover of Ying Jiu, Xu Yixing brought Si Wen, wearing a black cloak with three black strips on his right arm, and went out like a warrior.

All the shadow guards in the capital have arrived today, a total of five of them. These five people can easily deal with Granny He, and even helping him jump out of the city wall of Kyoto would not be a problem.

"Listen carefully. Find Granny He and tie her up for me. I'll be waiting for you at the abandoned land temple in the south of the city. Don't alert too many people."

"Yes!"

There were originally many beggars in the land temple, but when Xu Yixing arrived, there was no one there. It seemed that the shadow guard had taken care of it for him in advance.

Xu Yixing looked at the somewhat broken statue and silently repeated his wishes in his heart.

"Miss, the charcoal basin you requested..." Si Wen placed the charcoal basin at her feet, sweating profusely. It was hot, and he didn't know what the lady wanted it for.

"Yes. When Granny He comes later, you don't have to be nice to her. As soon as I wink, you can use this iron to burn her. Remember, don't burn your mouth!"

"Miss, lynching is against the law..."

"That's for good people. For people like this, we kill them first and investigate later. We will never wrongly accuse her."

"OK then."

"Yingjiu, I'm asking you to take a statement. Is that okay?"

Ying Jiu sat on the beam with a few pieces of paper in his hand. He made a gesture to Xu Yixing, indicating that there would be absolutely no problem.

Seeing this, Xu Yixing asked everyone to hide and sit on the ground with legs curled up. Not long after, a child who was only half a person's height entered the land temple. There was no warning outside the door, it was one of their own.

Xu Yixing looked at the shadow on the ground. It was quite scary. There was something horizontally on top of that half-man-high object. Judging from the shadow, it was clearly a headless dog.

"This person is so heavy!" Ying Si threw the person on his back to the ground and rubbed his neck. "When I went there, she was praying to Buddha. A little incense will be enough. By the way, she has a lot of guards. I guess she will be discovered if we wait too long. I'm leaving now."

"Humph, she is guilty of her crime. No matter how many people she employs or how much incense she burns, it will not work. You need to wake her up first!"

"Oh, yes." Ying Si turned back, rubbed his fingers on his body, and put them under Grandma He's nose, and she started coughing.

When Granny He slowly woke up, what she saw was a broken statue of the God of Land, which scared her.
