Fractious Legitimate Daughter - C112
Madame Ye heard that even though Xie Wanqing had already moved out, she still remembered him in her heart and couldn’t help but feel warm.
Not to mention that they were even given to the biological mother Concubine Fang. Although they were split less, this little mouth of hers was still reasonable and well-founded. There was indeed no reason for Madame Ye not to accept her.
After dinner, Xie Wanqing went to the madame’s room to accompany her.
After just entering the old mistress’ room for a short while, Xie Wanyun had come to pay respects. Originally, Xie Wanyun had not been patient, but after getting to the point of being lazy, she did not expect to come and greet them.
The old lady was chatting and joking with her granddaughter, who was beside her the entire time. On the other hand, Xie Wanyun seemed to be an outsider, out of place.
Taking advantage of the time while they were eating dinner, Xie Wanqing went back to her room and copied out a set of Buddhist scriptures.
“Muyun is here. I wanted to tell you, it’s freezing cold here, so I forbade you from copying the Buddhist scriptures. Your sister copied it pretty well too. Come, look at how your sister copied it!”
The old lady then handed over a buddhist scripture that Xie Wanqing had just copied, neatly written words, not even the type of handwriting that an eight year old child would be able to write.
The old lady still had a kind smile on her face, but her words were obviously taunting Xie Wanyun.
How could Xie Wanyun not know that after she turned eight, she went to the Ten Thousand Flowers Festival for two years and did not accomplish much. She did not even know a noble young master, and became a princess immediately after Xie Wanqing’s departure.
Even though she was an unsatisfied princess, it was still better than nothing. Furthermore, even the emperor had heard of the name of the Marquis Anyang’s Mansion, so even the Mama who came to reward her said that the emperor was endlessly praising Xie Wanqing and Sun Xiaoxiao.
What they said might just be beautiful words, but to the old lady’s ears, it was Xie Wanqing’s ability.
Even if he were to diligently write it himself, it would be difficult for Madame Ye to match up to Xie Wanqing, so he immediately said: “Younger sister’s writing skills are truly excellent, tonight Yun cannot compare to little sister, but Yue Yun can learn, in the future when younger sister copying the Buddhist scripture, why don’t you let Huang Yun accompany Grandmother!”
Xie Wanqing’s mouth could not help but twitch. The old lady knew in her heart that this kind of person, who was pious and respectful on the surface, was about to do everything she could on the surface. How could she possibly tolerate someone who could just casually copy a Buddhist scripture by her side?
Xie Wanyun’s eyes were blinded by jealousy, the next step was wrong, after all, she was still young.
“Grandmother, I want to stay by your side, but I can’t bear to leave Grandmother by my side. Even if Grandmother likes me to stay by your side, could you allow Grandmother to stay by your side?”
Why did he always give himself up, why did he have to give Xie Wanyun such a chance for free? Xie Wanqing did not want it, furthermore, she knew that the old mistress was unwilling, so she gave the old mistress a way out.
“Good …” “Alright!” When the good wife heard what Xie Wanqing said, she was extremely happy, but she did not expect Xie Wanqing to be such a pious child.
As for Xie Wanyun, she was even more depressed. In front of the Buddha, it was already dull enough to not need to finish writing the reason, so it was better to take Xie Wanqing instead. In addition to being able to say a few words to the Buddha, adding a bit of liveliness was also an extremely good thing.
In the end, Xie Wanqing possessed the soul of an adult, and no matter what, Xie Wanyun was still a spoiled child with a small knot.
“Evening Yun, you’re old, so you need to properly raise your daughter and let her find a good family for you. At this time, you’re still accompanying an old woman like me! If your mother knows about this, she’s definitely going to say that I’m an ignorant old woman!”
In the end, the old lady still thought that Xie Wanyun would give her face, so she did not say it out loud. However, Xie Wanqing looked at him and it was clear that she was about to cry.
“Grandmother, the incense in front of the Buddha is about to burn out. Later, go and burn some!” Xie Wanqing did not want to see the pitiful looks on the clothes around him.
She didn’t even think about how pleased she was with herself in her previous life when she was on the verge of death, so she found an excuse to leave.
Old Mistress had a grudge against this granddaughter of hers now, and she would never say anything good to finish writing the reason. It was definitely not something that could be reversed in a few sentences.
Xie Wanqing looked at the Buddha statue in front of him in a daze, she could vaguely hear the old lady outside persuading Xie Wanyun to study well, and to stay in her room.
Not long later, Xie Wanyun left. Ever since she was treated coldly by the old lady, the following few days, other than accompanying the old lady, Xie Wanqing also needed to read and study. Even Han Hao was complaining, and now, Xie Wanqing was not accompanying him.
How could he still have the time to accompany Han Hao? In the days that Han Hao had come to the Marquis Anyang’s Mansion, he had gradually learned to recite. Although his results were not good, he had at least reached the level of a middle-class warrior.
In the academy, results signified one’s abilities, even Sir Han Hao was full of praise for his improvement, after all, the first time they met Han Hao, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him.
On this day, when Xie Wanqing arrived at the madame’s room, she saw a small body running towards him.
In the past, Xie Huaixing only came to visit once every few days because he hated the silence in the old mistress’ room. However, he was the head of the family, and was the most mischievous grandson, so even though this was the case, the old mistress still liked him dearly.
Even so, Xie Wanqing still respectfully greeted her, “What is Grandmother saying to me? Is it that makes you so happy?”
“Your Brother Huaixing came to find me to get someone, he said that I was the one who stole his Sister Wanqing!”
The lively manner of a child’s voice was what made this old lady, who had been bored for a long time, happy. Therefore, even if her words were overbearing, the old lady would only take it as a joke.
Xie Wanqing looked at Xie Huaixing with a wronged expression. Thinking about it, it seemed that she had not seen Xie Huaixing for a full ten days, but she did not expect Xie Huaixing to rely on him this much.
“Where’s your big brother Han Hao, why didn’t you find him to play with? Instead you’re looking for me!”
Xie Wanqing squatted down, and couldn’t help but scratch her nose when she saw Xie Huaixing’s pitiful look.
Han Hao was a man, it was more convenient to play with Xie Huaixing as the two men should be playing around as well. They thought that Xie Huaixing would forget about them, but they would never have imagined that he would actually go look for the Old Ancestor for someone else.
“Big Brother Han Hao has been studying all these days and he won’t accompany me to play!” Her pouting look truly made Xie Wanqing laugh.
“Then, how about we accompany Grandmother to pay respects to Buddha?” Xie Wanqing thought that she could not leave this place, if not, she would give some people a chance to enter while they were still inside.
It was just that how could Xie Huaixing possibly have a heart that was willing to stay here? The expression that appeared in his eyes was clearly, “Not willing”.
But when Xie Wanqing saw the gaze of the Old Mistress, it was as if it was about to let out a light.
Even if the Old Mistress wanted Xie Huaixing to accompany her more, she would not be willing. Could it be that Xie Wanqing truly had the ability to force her to act courteous to him?
“Forget it, you kids should just go outside and play. It’s hard to get her to stay with me these days!” The Old Mistress clearly saw that Xie Huaixing was unwilling, but she did not know what to say.
“Brother Huaixing can’t calm down, it’s good enough for him to bring the ceremonial Buddha along, it’s still better than climbing trees outside to get bird eggs!” With a smile on his face, Xie Wanqing pinched that small face.
Xie Huaixing’s little mind was thinking, there was nothing to do, he wanted Xie Wanqing to be together with him, but since they could only stay in the buddhist hall, then just wait.
