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

Xu Yixing knew that Yan was just trying to avoid suspicion. Bai Yu was not his biological uncle, so this aunt was not his biological uncle either, so he could not interfere in the affairs of the former patriarch.

"That being said, my father was worried, so he asked me to come here."

Yan nodded. In her heart, she really wanted to get close to the Xu family, but they always kept a distance from her, and she couldn't force herself to get close to them.

Since the Xu family came to inform us of this today, it means that they really care about this relative. How could they not be happy?

"Since you came here specially, I'll just ask one more question: how did you lose it?"

"Hui Xiang, the maidservant by my mother's side, somehow found out about my father's small warehouse and secretly stole the things inside and sold them. It took a long time for them to be discovered, and a lot of things were lost."

"Oh!" When Yan heard that the matter involved the current mistress of the Xu family, she immediately stopped and did not ask any more questions.

"I already know about this. Go back and tell your father, ask him to be at ease, and investigate slowly. There will always be clues to follow."

"Yes."

"By the way, your wedding to the Seventh Prince is coming soon. What has your father planned for you?" Yan wanted to say something happy, but she didn't know that Xu Yixing was unhappy because of this matter.

"I don't know about that. I was planning to take some things from the warehouse to buy me some new things. Now that it's been stolen, I don't know what Dad will do."

"Hehe," Yan pulled her hand and said very gently, "Your father still loves you and will never treat you unfairly! Yan'er, your aunt wants to send you some new clothes and jewelry, but since your family is investigating the stolen goods, it is not convenient for me to go over.

Good boy, you have your meal here, I will ask the maid to pack up everything later, you can take it away with me, okay?"

"Of course Yi Yan is happy that my aunt gave me food. But why don't I see my uncle and my brothers and sisters?"

"Your uncle was on night duty yesterday and will be back soon. Your younger brothers and sisters have gone to Prince Cheng's mansion to study and will be back in the evening."

Xu Yixing was puzzled: "Prince Cheng's Mansion?"

"Oh, you may not know yet. The young master in Prince Cheng's mansion has also reached school age. However, Prince Cheng and the Queen Mother both feel that there are too many rules in the palace, and there are no other princes studying in the upper study room, so it is not easy to start a new class.

So they simply opened a school in the mansion, invited the teacher to teach in person, and called all the children of our age to go, it was so lively!"

Xu Yixing's doubts were somewhat resolved. This Prince Cheng was really interesting. He turned his home into a nursery. With so many young ladies, the daily tea and water expenses alone were not small. However, he was a prince, so naturally he didn't care about this little money.

"That's really convenient. When we grow up, we will have a lot of friendship."

"Of course." Yan was very happy about this. Both her husband and herself were not allowed to socialize too much. She could send her children to school and make new friends, which would be very helpful in the future if they were given an official title.

Yan looked at Yi Yan. She hadn't seen her for a while. She seemed to have grown taller and older. She was a beauty, and now she looked even more attractive. No wonder Madam Jing chose her and made her the seventh prince's principal wife.

"Yan'er, I shouldn't ask this, but your sister is also the blood of the Bai family after all." Yan looked at Yi Yan's face, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

"Aunt, feel free to ask me anything you want to know. We are all family."

"Everyone says that our girl was hurt, but I didn't see her. Is it true that you saw her?"

Xu Yixing looked at Yan with pity. She was constrained by her husband's official position and seldom went out often. No wonder she asked this question.

"It's true. Not only did my sister's face get hurt, but her temperament also became strange and irritable. She locked herself in her room all day long. It's really hard to approach her."

"Alas! Never mind, it's all fate!" Yan felt extremely sorry. In fact, she had felt a lot of emotions when she got engaged to the Sun family.

According to her, Xu Yixing had a good family background and good looks. Although entering the palace would be a bit restrictive for her, it would still be possible for her to be a prince's consort or a royal wife. Who knew that General Xu only gave her a title to a family with a different surname? Why was she in such a hurry?

But she didn't expect that Yi Yan would have such a wonderful fate now, which made her happy and sad. What was sad was that such a prince's wife was not a child of the Bai family, which was a pity.

"Madam, the master is back."

"Oh? Let's go, Yan'er. It's a good opportunity for us to have dinner together!"

Yan took Yixing to the dining room. Bai Yu was a little surprised to see her, but he asked her the reason in a few words. The three of them eating together made Xu Yixing feel at home.

After dinner, her uncle personally sent her out, and told her to bring gifts back to Yiwen and Yixing, and to come back more often when she was free. Xu Yixing went home with half a car full of gifts, feeling very embarrassed.

After returning home, she sent the gift for Yiwen to his courtyard. As for the remaining two, she accepted them all herself. It was impossible for her to give them to a counterfeit.

Xu Yixing sat in front of the door in the sun, looking at the gifts carefully. Brocade and jeweled hairpins, although not very expensive, they were at least a token of someone's thoughtfulness.

As she was touching the smooth satin with a smile on her face, she suddenly saw a person in the corner of the yard watering the flowers with a small bucket.

It's not that he is special, but there is a rule in the mansion that sweeping and cleaning cannot be done in front of the master, for fear of dirtying the clothes. Now I am sitting in the yard, why are there servants working there?

"Hey! Are you from my courtyard? How come I have never seen you before?"

When the servant heard him being called, he ran over in fear and trepidation, and bowed politely: "My dear Second Miss, I just fell here today, so you don't recognize me."

Siqin was standing nearby and had just noticed that the boy didn't seem to be very skilled, but she couldn't yell at him in front of the young lady, so she just kept it in mind and planned to teach him later. Unexpectedly, the young lady still saw it.

"According to our rules, these rough jobs cannot be done in front of the master, don't you know?" Siqin had been a maid for many years and still had some aura.

"Sister Siqin, please forgive me! It's my first day here and I haven't memorized the rules yet."

Xu Yixing waved his hand, it was no big deal. "What's your name?"

"Little Five."

"Puchi! Then you must be the fifth, what's your last name?"

"My last name is Ying."

"Parrot? That's interesting!" Xu Yixing was halfway through laughing when he suddenly stopped, "Shadow Five?"

The servant seemed confused, not knowing what the young lady was laughing at. "Well, Siqin, I'm going to take a nap, you all can leave."
