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

"Well... I guessed it. The person who kidnapped you should be Fan Shi, who has been working with my fourth brother. The Yanji Palace where you were just now is the residence of the second prince." Lu Anyuan took the teacup and signaled her not to worry, as it was still early before dawn and there was still time for everything.

"So why did you come today? I thought you were leaving tomorrow."

"The emperor is here now. Can we still hide in the capital?"

"What should I do then? How am I going to explain why I am in the outer palace tomorrow morning?"

"Your father suddenly took leave and went home this afternoon. Your family has known about your disappearance for a long time, and they certainly couldn't keep it a secret. How many people saw you being kidnapped at Jingxi Temple?"

"A lot of people, there were really a lot of people during the day, and they all saw me being kidnapped."

When Lu Anyuan heard this, he thought that this was going to be difficult.

If no one saw it, I could say that I had brought her to the outer palace earlier and forgot to tell my family, which caused the misunderstanding. But so many people saw it, I couldn't say that I had kidnapped her, right?

Xu Yixing was also very troubled. She had originally chosen Jingxi Temple because it was in public, but who knew that the Second Prince would interfere.

If she was kidnapped by bandits and did not return for one night, it would mean that she would lose her reputation and never marry. If it was really said that she was kidnapped by the second prince and appeared in the palace of the seventh prince, it would become a royal scandal.

So now I can't continue with the original plan. The most important thing is to keep my innocence and give the emperor a reasonable explanation. As for the matter of breaking off the engagement, it was all in vain!

She can still tell who is more important and who is less important.

"But I didn't take a car with the Xu Mansion's logo today, and I was wearing civilian clothes. If Siqin and my family can get the same story, maybe we can keep it a secret."

"Really? That's great, God help us! Then tell your father that I took you to the outer palace in advance, but I didn't tell your family by mistake. As for the blackmail letter your family received, just treat it as a prank and ignore it!"

"Ransom note?" Xu Yixing was a little confused. How did he know that his family had received a ransom letter?

"It's like this. After your father left in the afternoon, I asked Ah Da to go back to Beijing with me. In the evening, he came back and told me that something had happened to you. The Xu family received a blackmail letter for 10,000 taels of silver, and the old general is now handling the matter."

Ah Da came back and couldn't find Lu Anyuan, so he asked people and found out that he had gone to Yanji Palace. When he was looking for him with a lantern, he was almost slashed by the prince from inside the room, but fortunately he dodged quickly.

Then he discovered that His Highness was actually holding Miss Xu II, doing something sneaky and no one knew what he was doing.

As smart as Ah Da was, he immediately helped his master carry the person back to his own palace and found someone to replace him. Only then was the crisis resolved.

After hearing this, Xu Yixing took a deep breath and patted his chest. Fortunately, it was Ah Da who came. If the Second Prince had arrived first, it would have been another tragedy.

"I think you can ask my dad to keep his story straight, but you can't tell him this as the truth. My dad is not a fool, you can't hide it from him."

"Okay, then I will write a letter immediately and tell the old general the whole story. I think he will understand the difficulties behind our excuse."

After Lu Anyuan finished speaking, he left the bed, sat at the desk and wrote furiously without any hesitation.

This letter must be delivered to the old general immediately, and he must be asked to rush back tomorrow morning. Otherwise, if the Xu family reports the matter to the authorities first, it will be difficult to conceal the matter.

Xu Yixing watched from afar. The bed where she was lying just happened to allow her to see half of Lu Anyuan's desk. She could only see his hands moving, but couldn't make out his expression clearly.

This time, he saved me again, right? How can I repay this favor? It really makes me feel overwhelmed just thinking about it.

Moreover, after something like this happened, my father would definitely ask me to stay indoors after returning, and even if I did go out, he would definitely send many people to follow me. I would have no chance to use any tricks anymore.

So, I’m going to marry Lu Anyuan?

In fact, she had to admit that when she regained consciousness and knew that she was at Lu Anyuan's place, she felt very at ease. Perhaps compared to the Second Prince, Lu Anyuan's place was indeed a place where she could relax more.

So, are we just going to ignore the past grudges and the lies he told in the past?

Suddenly, a shadow moved over, interrupting his thoughts. Lu Anyuan handed the already written letter to Xu Yixing: "Take a look at what I wrote, is there anything wrong with it?"

"Ah? Let me see." Xu Yixing came back to his senses, took the paper with the ink still wet, and read it through under the light.

Lu Anyuan still treated himself decently. He wrote in the letter that when he was leaving the city, he happened to run into the robbers who kidnapped him, so he directly rescued him and brought him to the outer palace.

However, the incident happened suddenly and the Xu family could not be notified in time, which caused the delay of the news. In order to avoid rumors, please tell your family that you are not in danger, but were just picked up in advance.

I told my father that I was fine now and asked him not to worry, and that I would explain all the details to him when I met him tomorrow.

"You didn't mention the Second Prince or the Fourth Prince at all. Aren't you going to talk about these?"

"I have written it. You can tell him everything when you meet tomorrow. Besides, he will definitely check it out, so there is no need to write it down in the letter."

"Well, then find someone to send him back quickly. I'm worried that if it's any later they will report to the police."

"A Da!" Lu Anyuan found A Da and personally instructed him on everything before letting him leave quickly.

As soon as Ada left, there were only two people left in the hall. Although it was late at night, it was obvious that the two of them still had a lot of things to do.

"Why do you think the Second and Fourth Princes are so bold? If their plan succeeds today, we two will cancel the engagement. But I don't understand. Won't the Emperor be furious?"

"I guess the second prince doesn't know about it." Lu Anyuan's words were shocking, and even Xu Yixing thought about it for a long time and still couldn't believe it.

"Can the Fourth Prince accomplish such a big thing by himself?"

"You can think carefully about who will be the biggest beneficiary if the plan succeeds."

Xu Yixing lowered her head silently. Until just now, she thought that the Fourth Prince must have been instructed by the Second Prince to do this. But who says there is no other possibility:

He was involved in a royal scandal and was doomed to die. Lu Anyuan lost the support of the Xu family. The second prince raped his brother's wife. Even if he insisted that he was ignorant of it and even if Concubine Ying was protecting him, his status would plummet and he would be criticized.

As long as he was forced to shut up completely before dawn, the three parties would surely suffer a disastrous defeat. Moreover, Lu Anyuan would bear a grudge against the Second Prince, and it was foreseeable that they would be at odds with each other in the future.
