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

The only thing that puzzled him was that he didn't quite understand where Yixing's hatred for General Xu came from. Was it because General Xu treated her poorly after she became Yiyan?

"Madam, has something happened that I don't know about?" Lu Anyuan didn't want any grudges between the two of them. He wanted to know everything about Xu Yixing.

"I lost my memory after you pushed me into the well. My father had someone give me a drug that would erase my memory."

Xu Yixing didn't say that erasing her memory was also to prevent herself from continuing to look for her mother, nor did she say that her mother's death was related to her father. These were her most private matters, and she didn't want Lu Anyuan to know for the time being.

Lu Anyuan's face tightened, and many things made sense: "Maybe your father just wants to protect you. After all, if such a thing gets out, it will be a royal scandal, and your father doesn't want you to become the focus of the incident."

"Maybe." Xu Yixing changed the subject and pointed the finger at Lu Anyuan: "But who caused all this?"

"Ahem! It's getting late, let's go to bed early. By the way, Madam, I learned a new move today, it must be very interesting, shall we try it?"

The Xu family's funeral was extremely eye-catching. It was held twice in a row within just one year. Everyone could not help but sigh at the impermanence of life.

Especially with the death of Madam Gu Shuang this time, the confession letter incident that had been causing a stir in the capital has never been resolved. The death of Gu has pushed the incident to a new climax.

Many people were already skeptical about the list, and even the families of the people involved only made a big fuss at home but did not show anything to the outside world.

It can be said that Gu is the only victim in this incident so far. As for those charges, those who did not believe them before now believe them. If you really did not do it, how could you die of guilt?

Xu Yixing put on mourning clothes early in the morning and went home. No matter what she should do, she would do it well and not let anyone criticize her.

However, she would not act as the coffin keeper. After burning incense in front of the coffin, she went to her own yard with Aunt Bai.

"Xiaoyan, your brother really hasn't come back yet?" Yan seldom went out. This time, she was only willing to come out because she was asked by her father to help take care of the affairs in the mansion.

"Yes, Uncle Xu Qian has gone to look for him, but he hasn't come back yet."

Yan pursed her lips and shook her head, seeming to be very pessimistic about Xu Yiwen's behavior.

"Xiaoyan, don't blame your aunt for being nosy. Your brother's behavior will make it very difficult for your father. The dead are the greatest. Even if your mother did something wrong when she was alive, she is already buried. What is there to be unforgivable?"

Xu Yixing agreed verbally but was very resistant in his heart. If death could erase all of a person's sins, wouldn't that be a bit too easy?

Just as she sat down in the yard, she saw Si Hua walk up to her in two quick steps: "Miss, Madam Yan, Xu Qian is back. But the young master still didn't come with him. The old master is really angry. How about you go and take a look?"

Yan looked at Xu Yixing worriedly, she didn't expect things to turn out like this.

"Aunt, I'll go over and take a look. Please help me greet the guests in the mansion."

"You should try your best."

Xu Yixing walked to the study room where his father was with sparks flying all the way. It's really amazing that there are so many people outside and you still come here to get angry.

"Dad, what did my brother say?"

Old Man Xu waved his hand, his eyebrows raised in anger: "Ask him!"

Xu Yixing looked at Xu Qian again, who shook his head, clasped his hands and explained: "I went to Wansong Academy early this morning and met the eldest master, but no matter how I persuaded him, he refused to go back. I had no choice but to follow the general's instructions and punish the eldest master with family discipline, but..."

Xu Yixing narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Qian, knowing that he only listened to his father. If his father asked him to beat him, he would definitely not hold back. Poor Xu Yiwen, he didn't know what he looked like after being beaten, but he could still bear it.

"Didn't I tell you that if you don't come back, I'll tie you up and bring you back? Why are you deaf?"

"This..." Xu Qianqian was embarrassed and swallowed his saliva: "He was tied up, but the eldest master refused to leave. He hugged the tree in the yard tightly. Later... Later, one of his fingers was broken, but he still refused to go back..."

"Hiss!" Xu Yixing listened to this with a frown. He finally understood why Xu Qian looked so helpless. It turned out that he had hurt the young master and felt guilty.

But how could Xu Yiwen be so brave as to break a finger... It hurts just thinking about it.

"You should break all ten of his fingers! Then see how he can hug the tree!" Old Man Xu didn't know whether he was angry or heartbroken, his mood was a little wrong.

"Dad! What are you talking about!"

"He is the only son in the family, and it seems that he has been spoiled. He is not even half as good as you and your sister. I am really ashamed of my ancestors!"

Xu Yixing was speechless to the extreme. He remembered to say this now. He had never seen you do this before. Moreover, if you had not allowed Gu to spoil him and then clearly protected the enemy who killed his mother, he would not have reached this point.

"General, what should we do now?"

"What can I do? If he has the guts, he will never come back. I don't have this son!"

When Old Man Xu made these harsh remarks, it was unclear whether he was trying to provoke himself or his son who was completely unaware of the situation.

"Dad, since my brother has a grudge against mother, why don't you give him some space and let him be quiet for a while?"

"Does having a grudge in his heart make him do such an unfilial act? Don't you have a grudge against your mother as well? In the final analysis, you spoiled him too much and let him do whatever he wants."

Xu Yixing smiled secretly and said, I did have a knot in my heart, but it’s gone now, so I naturally don’t care.

"Forget it. The dead are the most important. Let's hold the funeral first." It was not known whether Old Man Xu was helpless or had figured it out. He walked out of the study tiredly, forced himself to be strong, and went to the front to receive guests.

Xu Yixing leaned against the door frame, one foot on the threshold, and watched her father leave. Her action was very indecent, and a lady from Daxia would never do that, but she did it anyway.

While watching, she twisted her feet to step on the threshold. Si Hua was standing next to her and didn't understand what the lady was doing.

According to the rules, one needs to mourn for three years after the mother passes away. However, this rule does not apply to the royal family. After all, there are things to deal with every day, and it is not realistic to not see music and dance for three years.

For Xu Yixing, this rule is dispensable.

She had already made plans. After Gu's body was kept for seven days and buried, she would not need to come to the mansion again. The affairs of the Xu Mansion would come to an end. She needed to devote more time to the upcoming trouble with the Second Prince.

I also need to think carefully about how to deal with it if Lu Anyuan has a disagreement with me about his father in the future.
