"If he didn't die and escaped, would he have any plans for us?"

"Maybe, but I feel that the second brother's most important thing is to escape, and he probably doesn't have the energy to deal with us."

Xu Yixing felt a little relieved. Since he was worried, he should not go out recently. Anyway, he just stayed in the mansion. It was impossible for the Second Prince to bring people in to destroy the whole family.

For Lu Anyuan, the most urgent task might be to find Lu Chiyan and erase all traces of Qibei, but for Xu Yixing, the problem she has to worry about is more immediate and realistic.

First, in order to save Lu Anyuan that day, Ying Wu and Ying Jiu showed their Qinggong skills that were definitely beyond the ordinary guards in front of everyone. This matter needs to be explained to everyone, and more importantly, to Dad. Second, she told Dad that the armor and the sword were given by Uncle Bai, and she needs to unify her words with Uncle.

But maybe these two things are the same thing?

Xu Yixing thought, how could Uncle Bai think of bringing him some clothes when he was fine? It must be Yingwu who said that, or Uncle Bai knew something. It seems that he should go see Uncle Bai first tomorrow, maybe everything will be solved?

There is another thing, that is, my dad’s wedding was originally scheduled to be held soon, but now that such a big thing has happened, I’m afraid my dad will have to delay it, which is actually a good thing.

After returning to the mansion, Xu Yixing didn't even have the strength to wash up. He slept till the sun went down and when he woke up he felt numb, but he still forced himself to stay awake and took a car to the Bai Mansion.

I thought my uncle would be waiting in the palace for a long time today, but I didn't expect to see him standing under the osmanthus tree with a smile on his face as soon as I entered the door. Was he waiting for me?

"Meet uncle."

"No need to be polite. If I had known you were coming today, I would have asked your aunt and nephews to leave. We can talk freely."

Xu Yixing was stunned. It didn't matter if it wasn't enough. It was always better to be frank than to test him with just a few words.

"Yes, I will listen to my uncle."

The two of them walked to the outer hall courtyard together. The family served them tea on the stone table in the courtyard and left in a hurry without disturbing their conversation.

"Yan'er, tell me, what do you want to say today?"

"Why don't you just ask me directly? I think what I want to say is very complicated and I don't have a clue at the moment. It would be bad if I make you even more confused."

"Okay, who was the person who informed me yesterday?"

"He is Yingwu, the servant Xiaowuzi who is beside me."

"Shadow Five." Bai Yu repeated these two words in his mouth, feeling somewhat confused and vague. "So what is his true identity?"

"He is a shadow guard, trained by my grandfather for my sister and mother. Now he is working for me."

Bai Yu was somewhat surprised by Xu Yixing's frankness, but was more cautious: "How did you find these people and use them for your own purposes?"

"It seems that my uncle knows about this matter and is not curious at all."

Bai Yu nodded, admitting: "I said that the accounts in the early years of the family were a bit strange. At first I thought that the old man raised private soldiers, but later I found out that it was not the case and I didn't check it. It seems that this is the real purpose."

"Yes, I came into contact with them after my sister and Nanny Bai died, and I used this jade pendant to control them." Xu Yixing presented the jade pendant full of impurities. Bai Yu only took a look at it and turned his head away without looking at it carefully.

"Madame Bai actually gave this thing to you?" Bai Yu muttered softly as if he was talking to himself. He didn't even say it to Xu Yixing.

"Uncle knows him?"

"Yes, this is your grandfather's thing. It seems to be an old item. I have seen it before."

"Then how did my uncle know that it was given by Nanny Bai and not by my sister?" Theoretically speaking, the time of my death was only two days different from Nanny's, so my uncle should not know.

"Haha, if your sister wanted this thing, would she be killed? It must be because your sister didn't want it that Nanny Bai gave it to you." Although he said so, Bai Yu was furious. Such an important thing, even if Yixing didn't want it, Nanny Bai couldn't give it to others without permission!

"Uncle, you are wise. However, I found this in Nanny Sun's room. I took it away because I thought it was strange. I didn't expect that I would accidentally wear it to Jingxi Temple and get to know a group of people."

Bai Yu frowned, but couldn't think of any problem, so he could only nod. "Ying Wu reminded me yesterday to get you something to protect yourself. He really thinks about you."

"As a shadow guard, of course he has to consider the safety of his master. This is what he should do. But uncle, my father doesn't know that I took my sister's armor and sword from home and brought them to the Seventh Prince's Mansion. If he asks, can you help me explain it?"

Bai Yu snorted coldly. He had discovered that Xu Yiyan had dirty hands and had the habit of stealing other people's things. He had to keep an eye on the things at home. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look down on her in his heart. People with bad morals can't accomplish great things.

"Let's talk about it later." Whether Xu Xianshan would remember to ask was another matter. He didn't want to be a knife to this niece who was full of calculations.

"Okay. Uncle, the Shadow Guard has never appeared in front of everyone before. How do you think I should explain this to my father?"

Bai Yu was stunned, then he remembered that yesterday at the palace gate, in addition to Ying Wu and the Seventh Prince's A Da, there seemed to be another person who was also very good at light work.

"The man under the city is also yours?"

"Yes, he is Ying Jiu. Yesterday I asked him to escort Shen Yue to the Weiwei camp to move troops."

Bai Yu was completely stunned this time. Wasn't this soldier summoned by the Empress Dowager's decree? How could there be a matter between Shen Yue and this niece? All the details about yesterday had not been disclosed so far. Even he who was summoned at that time didn't know the whole story. Now thinking about it, there was a lot to ponder on.

Seeing that he was puzzled, Xu Yixing told him again about his actions over the past two days. Bai Yu inexplicably felt respect for him and forgot his contempt.

"Great! I didn't expect you, Yan'er, to be so resourceful and courageous!"

"Uncle, you are too kind. In fact, I didn't accomplish anything in the end. It was all thanks to the soldiers' sacrifice and the emperor's majesty."

"Hehehe." Bai Yu smiled and remembered the last time she came to the mansion to inquire about assets. This Xu Yiyan was really interesting and cared too much about the Bai family.

"Uncle, I heard that after the emperor left, Concubine Ying broke out of the cold palace. Were you there at the time? Do you know the details?"

Bai Yu smiled again: "You want to know whether the Second Prince told Concubine Ying before he rebelled?"

"I always feel that the Second Prince wouldn't do this. Concubine Ying is a bit out of tune. The Second Prince was demoted many times before because of his mother. How dare he tell Concubine Ying about this!"

Bai Yu knew that Yi Yan was worried that the Second Prince might escape and have a backup plan, so he asked this question. "Actually, my uncle walks around the palace every day and sees a lot of people. It's rare to see someone who suddenly goes crazy like her. Those people go crazy because they can't stand the stimulation. She shouldn't be one of them."
