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

"Not yet. But don't worry, these things are all from Dad's own private library, so you don't need to ask her about it."

Xu Yixing nodded. So that's how it was. Since he didn't use money from his family or Gu's company, it was no wonder that she didn't come out to stop him.

"Yan'er, when you go to the Seventh Prince, Daddy thinks you will suffer some injustice. The more things you have, the more he will not dare to look down on you."

"What are you talking about, Dad? Even if we can bring them over, we have to see if they are still alive. For example, my sister and Madam Bai, what a pity."

Xu Yixing was trying to provoke her father with a conversation. She wanted to know why it happened. Could it be that, like her grandson You, her father coveted her mother's dowry?

"What are you talking about!" Old Man Xu got angry and took back the gift list with some displeasure.

"In fact, I have always been thinking that Grandfather Bai brought so many things to his daughter, but who knew that in the end, nothing ended up in her hands. It really is true that man proposes, God disposes."

"Yi Yan, Bai is also your mother, you shouldn't talk about her like that! Besides, when she passed away, Dad also discussed with General Bai that all her belongings should be left in the Xu Mansion for your sister to use in the future. It's just a pity that your sister actually... Never mind, let's not talk about it anymore."

Old Man Xu waved his hand tiredly, indicating that she could leave. Xu Yixing did not explain, but bowed and left.

As expected, my grandfather had discussed with my father about the dowry left by my mother. It was no wonder that my father had never dared to embezzle those things openly, but had to go through eighteen detours.

But Xu Yixing still hadn't figured out why his father was so abiding by the rules. What was that power that had always restrained his father, even after his grandfather's death?

Xu Yixing returned to her room and started her plan of pretending to be dead. She also figured out that she was going to say goodbye to Lu Anyuan, so no matter how much her father prepared for her, it would be in vain in the end.

Since it's all in vain, why should I bother thinking about this friendship that can never be realized?

As the days passed, there were several heavy rainstorms in Beijing, which washed away the summer heat and some people's livelihoods.

Hearing that the farmland outside the capital was severely damaged, the emperor was very worried. He then remembered that he should go to the altar to worship so that God could stop this not-so-small disaster.

However, the focus of the controversy was which prince the emperor would take to offer sacrifices to heaven.

Even though it was just a question of selection, the Queen had no children and the Eastern Palace was vacant. Even if one of the princes received a compliment on weekdays, the ministers would talk about it, not to mention such a big event.

In fact, based on past experience and actual conditions, the candidate is probably between the Second Prince and the Sixth Prince.

Everyone knows that the Second Prince has always been His Majesty's favorite.

However, the Sixth Prince is now working in the Ministry of Works, and he can see with his own eyes the sufferings of the people. Perhaps this can help him gain some inspiration and create some practical tools, so the Emperor is willing to take him to see it.

Just a moment of hesitation could have ruined everything.

The ministers below were all wondering if the emperor had changed his mind and no longer liked the second prince?

As a result, the supporters, who were originally scattered, finally got excited and urged their candidates to show their faces in front of His Majesty.

Even Lu Anyuan, who used to harass Xu Yixing every day, was confined at home by his own followers.

The excuse is: Even if you don't fight for this accompanying spot, you shouldn't get involved in any romantic stuff at this time.

Lu Anyuan had no choice but to wait quietly in the mansion, letting the guests shout for him outside.

Others may not see clearly, but I understand clearly. Your Majesty just hasn't said clearly who to take with him at the moment, and the ministers below are arguing about it, which may make Your Majesty unhappy.

Moreover, Lu Anyuan has been feeling uneasy recently. He can feel that there are some problems between him and Xu Yixing.

We haven't seen each other since the last time she said she passed the test.

Although the teaching nanny came to reply every day, saying that Miss Xu was very quiet at home, she did not see any outsiders except studying etiquette every day, and she really acted like a little girl.

But Lu Anyuan just felt that there was something wrong. Yixing was not the kind of person who would stay at home quietly, but it didn't make sense that he could stay at home so obediently for so long this time.

Moreover, there was the incident of Granny He in the capital before. Lu Anyuan had specially inquired about it and found out that Granny He was the one who delivered Yixing's mother. Madam Bai did die during childbirth. Could there be any connection between them?

Moreover, Grandma He's hair turned white overnight, and now she is lying half-dead at home. No matter how you look at it, it seems to be the result of that Shadow Four.

Is it appropriate to investigate what happened back then?

So she stayed indoors and didn't go out, maybe not because of herself, but because she learned something about the past. Well, if that was the case, then it had nothing to do with herself.

But when he asked Ah Da, he said, "Hehe, Master, you don't understand this, women are completely different before and after marriage. Our princess is thinking about you!"

"It's not the first time, there's no such thing as before or after marriage..."

"What did you say?"

Lu Anyuan quickly came to his senses. How could he say such a thing? Bah, bah, bah, I can't doubt it anymore!

"Nothing, it's almost Mid-Autumn Festival, right?"

"Yes, our second young lady will definitely go out during the Mid-Autumn Festival. You just need to wait a few more days!" Ah Da's face was full of smiles, and he was so happy that he seemed like he was going to get married.

"Well. Hey! Do you think I am so impatient? Really!" Lu Anyuan strode to the martial arts training stage and ignored Ada's ridicule.

His Majesty quickly made a statement about the random speculations among his ministers, that is, he would not bring any princes with him to the altar this time, but let the high priest stand on the right side of the ministers on behalf of the princes, so as to avoid rumors that were about to flood the palace.

After those ministers knew about this, they all lost their energy.

The second prince's followers were severely scolded by Concubine Ying. If it weren't for their incompetence, her son should have gone this year. But now, no one can go.

After the Second Prince knew about this, he could only smile bitterly and appease those hangers-on one by one.

Although her mother was a powerful figure in the harem, she did not have a thorough understanding of the affairs of the previous dynasty. Did she think that the emperor's favor would last forever?

Not to mention that the emperor's favor is like flowing water, which may disappear one day. Besides, even if he really succeeded in ascending the throne by relying on his mother's favor and his father's love, it would still be these ministers who would assist him in the future.

Now that I have offended them all, will I be a penniless emperor in the future?
