Fractious Legitimate Daughter - C119

In the next few days, Concubine Fang and Xie Wanyun naturally did not want to go, so Xie Wanqing brought Xie Huaixing to the madame’s room.

Ever since Concubine Fang was told to disturb Xie Wanqing’s studies, she rarely went to Xie Wanqing’s room. Presumably, she was afraid of this Madame Ye, afraid that she would really be scolded by him.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you. A few days ago, Concubine Fang often brought Ye Yun to me, so why didn’t you come with your Concubine Fang?”

Xie Wanqing raised her head to look at the old lady’s kind face, “Concubine Fang did not inform late Qing, and late Qing was worried that her grandmother would see too many people early in the morning and be troubled, so she did not come to pay respects, and that was for her grandmother’s sake!”

“You’re so considerate. That night, I looked like she was depressed, not like you!” Originally, Xie Wanqing wanted to sue the Concubine Fang to test the waters and see if the Old Madam truly had any ill feelings towards the mother and daughter. However, it seemed like it was true that she didn’t have any bad feelings towards them.

Xie Wanqing brought Xie Huaixing to accompany the old lady and chatted for a while before she and Xie Huaixing went to the respective schools.

But on this day, when Xie Wanqing returned, he heard that the old lady was sick, which was strange, as everything was fine when she saw her in the morning.

Furthermore, the madame’s body had always been strong, so how could she be sick when she was cultivating quietly in the buddhist hall all day?

When Xie Wanqing returned home, she had already heard that Xie Wanyun was already taking care of him in the old mistress’ room. Thinking back to when they were at the academy, Xie Wanyun left in such a hurry after school.

Xie Wanqing suddenly remembered the story of how they drugged him previously. The old mistress’ room had sent the news, she was extremely hot, but the doctor could not tell anything, causing Xie Wanqing to suddenly remember that her previous life’s illness was different.

But up until now, there were actually no problems. Then thinking about it, could it be that the was the one who had been reading in the academy all this while? But it was Xie Wanyun who was taking care of him, causing Xie Wanqing to be even more certain of herself.

They must have thought that they didn’t know that he had been poisoned, but they felt sorry for him. Even in this life, how many times had they consumed it before they were seven?

This was related to the Concubine Fang and Xie Wanyun. However, thinking about it again, they probably wouldn’t have the guts to poison the ancestor of their family. Although they were suspicious, they couldn’t be sure.

The old mistress already had Xie Wanyun in her room, and Xie Wanqing was too lazy to argue with her. If it was really as she had guessed, at the very end, Xie Wanqing would definitely not let her off.

With that in mind, Xie Wanqing returned to the kitchen. The old lady would never eat everything that she had prepared with her meal, the leftovers were the most direct evidence.

Originally, the leftovers from the cooking had to be taken care of daily until nightfall. Therefore, it was still too late.

In the large kitchen, there had never been a master who had set foot inside. Now that Xie Wanqing had suddenly appeared, it was natural that some people would feel overwhelmed by the unexpected favor.

As expected, the Old Granny’s food had not been dealt with yet, and they would not think that there would be anyone who would suspect that it was food, which was why the Madame Ye in Xie Wanqing’s previous life suffered such a loss.

Xie Wanqing placed the silver needles into the remaining broth, and when she took it out, she took a deep breath, it was indeed poisonous.

At first, they had only suspected, but now they were certain. Even so, Xie Wanqing was still shocked;

“I can’t say this now. I’ll have to wait until the old mistress’ illness recovers before I speak of it again!” Xie Wanqing instructed in a deep voice. She knew how uncomfortable this illness was, but she did not have the heart to bear it. She was already so old, and yet she was still being tormented like this.

Just as Xie Wanqing returned to her room, she saw Concubine Fang waiting at her own door, anxiously looking outside.

Xie Wanqing laughed coldly in her heart. The mother and daughter pair had truly coordinated extremely well.

Since Xie Wanyun had already gone, she did not intend to go. It was fine if she went to pay respects early tomorrow, but if there were more people by her side when she was sick, it would be annoying.

“Concubine Fang, why are you here!” Thinking about it carefully after disturbing Xie Wanqing last time, it was really Concubine Fang’s first time here.

During the past few days of eating and reciting buddhist chants, Xie Wanqing herself had already decreased quite a bit, and pounced on Xie Wanqing as if she was someone she rarely saw, as though she really missed Xie Wanqing.

“Your grandmother was sick, so I thought of you. I was worried that you would get infected by the illness by staying by her side all day long!” Concubine Fang looked really worried.

However, this one knew how to act, and Xie Wanqing sneered in her heart, “It’s alright, Aunt Qing, don’t worry, but how could Grandmother be sick? It’s still alright if Grandmother goes in the morning!”

Xie Wanqing sat on the chair with a crestfallen look on her face. Seeing that the Concubine Fang did not react, he said, “Grandmother used to love Sangqing so I wanted to go and see Grandmother!” As she spoke, she stood up and prepared to leave.

Sure enough, Concubine Fang pulled Xie Wanqing from the back: “Good child, you better not cause any more trouble. Your grandmother’s room is already a mess, your sister has already gone to take care of it, furthermore you’re still young, how can you be infected!”

Xie Wanqing turned her head to the side and saw the look in Concubine Fang’s eyes, which made him unable to help herself from dodging a little.

“Aunt is right, it’s fine if she doesn’t go!” As she spoke, she sat down on the chair she had been sitting on, “Aunt, then I won’t be going to Grandmother’s room anymore. It’s about time for me to take care of my books. You should go home quickly!”

When the Concubine Fang heard that Xie Wanqing was about to learn, he suddenly remembered what the Madame Ye had said last time. Although she wanted to monitor the situation, she couldn’t stay for long so she could only exhort, “Pay attention to your body!” She left.

The look in Xie Wanqing’s eyes instantly changed, she closed the book that was already opened, and opened up the brush and paper, Xie Wanyun had already gone to take care of him, Xie Wanqing could not linger behind, after thinking for a bit, she picked up a dagger and pierced it into her own finger.

Yue Xin just happened to walk in, and seeing this scene, she was quite frightened: “Miss, what are you doing!?”

Xie Wanqing did not say anything. The pain in her skin and flesh was enough to make Xie Wanqing frown, and blood kept dripping down, drop by drop, into the Mo Dou. Yue Xin wanted to stop him, but seeing Xie Wanqing’s expression, it was clear that she had an idea and would not go forward.

It was just that when she saw his master losing so much blood, her heart ached for her. Until half an ink stone had squeezed out of the blood, Xie Wanqing had stopped.

“Miss, you …” Yue Xin didn’t speak just now because she was afraid of disturbing Xie Wanqing, but now she asked.

“Yue Xin, help stir up the blood here, you better not let it freeze!” Xie Wanqing said in a low voice.

Yue Xin picked up a wooden stick and stirred the brush according to Xie Wanqing’s instructions gently, then watched as Xie Wanqing actually stained the brush with fresh blood and started to copy the scripture.

“Miss, is this the Blood Meridian?” Yue Xin had heard of this before, but she had never seen it before.

Xie Wanqing nodded her head, “Earlier, I heard from a monk at Hanshan Temple that it was said to be extremely effective, so I came here to try, and only hope that Grandmother’s body can recover a little faster!”

“Miss, you don’t have to do this!” As he spoke, Yue Xin’s tears fell. In the past, Xie Wanqing’s life had been tough, but it had never been like this.

“Don’t pollute the blood I just squeezed out. After the blood has been contaminated, it will become completely dry and turn black. I still have to squeeze in another copy. This effort will be wasted!”

Xie Wanqing was not like Yue Xin, who said those words coldly, and continued to copy the scriptures. After Xie Wanqing finished, he wiped the tears off her face.

“Why not use your servant’s blood in the future!” Yue Xin looked at Xie Wanqing. Even until now, she was still shockingly calm.

“If your heart is not sincere, then you’re not good!” Xie Wanqing raised her head and looked at Yue Xin. She knew that Yue Xin was heartbroken, but what Xie Wanqing wanted to do was impossible for him to persuade him to return. Yue Xin had nothing to say, and could only look at Xie Wanqing.
