Fractious Legitimate Daughter - C134
However, the current Concubine Fang couldn’t even take care of her own son. Naturally, she couldn’t care about this one, and could only mutter under her breath, “To be able to learn such a simple trick at such a young age, what a slut!” She then returned to her room.
Then, she sat down powerlessly on the chair. Concubine Fang had initially prepared an excuse that would make her heart soften, to let Xie Wanyun have no need to stop.
But being involved with Xie Wanqing like that, Xie Kai only had excuses, and could even clearly see some doubt in Xie Kai’s eyes. Concubine Fang could not wait to kill Xie Wanqing now, her hands were tightly clenched into a fist, and she was even trembling a little, it was truly terrifying.
However, they didn’t know that as Xie Kai and Xie Wanqing chatted and laughed along the way, they coincidentally arrived at Madame Ye’s room as well. The kitchen food had only just arrived, and since it was Madame Ye’s birthday, it was bound to be cloudy.
Thinking about it, it made sense. No matter what, she was still the wife of this Marquis Anyang’s Mansion, but how could the cold and lonely Madame Ye not feel sad after their birthday?
“Mother, Grandmother and Father are here!” Seeing the depressed Madame Ye sitting inside, Xie Wanqing rushed into the Madame Ye’s room. How could the intimate scene of the little girl and the eldest mother not make Xie Kai relent.
Xie Kai walked in with a smile on his face. Although Madame Ye looked flattered, even he had forgotten when he last saw Xie Kai!
“Paying respects to old master!” Madame Ye was the one who understood the etiquette the most, and even then, she still did not forget to pay respects to Xie Kai, who then supported him up.
“It’s your birthday today, so I should have come early to see you. Who knew that I would have forgotten about it. It was late Qing who was the most attentive, reminding me of this!” As Xie Kai spoke, he sat down next to Madame Ye, and his hand was held by Madame Ye.
“Yanqing is usually the most obedient. Yanqing, you can stay here and eat with your first wife today!” Upon hearing that Xie Kai had been lured over, Madame Ye smiled and greeted him.
Xie Wanqing had thought of this from the start. If she had not been here watching Xie Kai, then maybe Xie Kai would have accompanied the Madame Ye to chat for a while and then left.
Since this was an invitation from the Madame Ye, Xie Wanqing naturally agreed without hesitation: “Alright, First Mother, Xinqing is willing to accompany Father to accompany First Mother!”
The maidservants at the side added two pairs of chopsticks, and the three of them sat around the table and enjoyed their meal.
Originally, Xie Kai was in a hurry to leave after eating, but it was Xie Wanqing who forcefully held him down and accompanied the Madame Ye for a while, and spoke a few words before Xie Wanqing was willing to let him go.
“You really are a ghost spirit!” Even the originally cold Madame Ye was beaming with joy as she joked around with Xie Wanqing.
The two chatted and laughed for a while, then Xie Wanqing took her leave and followed Yue Xin to the buddhist hall. Yue Xin increased her pace as they arrived at the buddhist hall.
If on the day of the Madame Ye’s birthday, Xie Wanqing decided not to go to the buddhist hall because of her concern for the Madame Ye, he would definitely be remembered by the madame.
So even if she was busy, Xie Wanqing had no choice but to take care of it. She jogged all the way to the buddhist hall, and sure enough, she had already been in the buddhist hall for a long time seeing the old lady’s appearance.
As she was kneeling in front of the Buddha chanting, Xie Wanqing was kneeling behind him.
“Why did you come so late today? What’s holding you back?” Ever since the incident with Xie Yun, Xie Wanqing came back a little later, the Old Mistress had asked him about it, probably because she was worried that Xie Wanqing would cause trouble outside.
“Today is my first birthday, so I accompanied my first wife for a meal!” He only said that he was eating with the Madame Ye, and that was Xie Wanqing’s cleverness.
If the old lady found out that he had pulled his son to Madame Ye’s room, she would never get along with him. She would even think that Xie Wanqing would curry favor with her and give birth to a thought that a child shouldn’t have.
But she only said that since she accompanied her to eat, the Old Mistress would not say anything. She only felt that Xie Wanqing was filial and respected her seniors.
Sure enough, the old lady had her eyes closed while chanting. She did not say anything and just nodded, while Xie Wanqing had her hands folded behind her back.
When that Concubine Fang had just returned, she originally missed Xie Kai for a long time. However after that, when the gods fell into a predicament, only Xie Kai was able to save Xie Wanyun.
Originally, he did not want to show mercy when he saw Xie Wanqing today. He only thought that it would be good if he could help Xie Wanyun get out of this difficult situation, but being disturbed by Xie Wanqing like this, was really unexpected.
When she thought about how Xie Wanqing was pulling Xie Kai along, Concubine Fang became angry. “Mama Zhang, don’t tell me she sensed something or else why would she be so close to that Madame Ye?!”
“Mistress, she is just a child. It must be the Madame Ye who gave her some benefits. Mama Zhang laughed when she heard that her master had such doubts. The other party was merely an eight year old child.
“But in the past, she wasn’t like this, and was also as playful as before. Who would have thought that she would kneel in front of Buddha for a whole day?”
When Concubine Fang thought about Xie Wanqing’s recent performance, she felt even more uneasy.
“Perhaps the lady’s parents have grown up, so they have become quieter. Mistress, that is only a child. Why are you worried about this? There is no way you can escape from your grasp!”
Concubine Fang sighed, “I don’t know why, but I feel that something is amiss these few days, how about we just get rid of her first!”
“That’s fine too. In short, she’s just a lowly bastard. Killing her would be as simple as stomping on an ant to death.”
Mama Zhang gently held Concubine Fang’s shoulders. This old Mama was promoted by Madame Ye and had done many bad things with him.
Concubine Fang rubbed her temples tiredly and nodded. “Master didn’t sleep well last night, why not rest for a bit?”
Because he was worried about Xie Wanyun, it had been a long time since Concubine Fang had a good night’s sleep, but Concubine Fang only shook her head, “I’m not sleeping at all, tell me if she’s lucky or was just taking precautions, how come she can dodge every single time? But this time, why did she get such a good thing over there?”
“This servant thinks it’s strange too. Could it be that this lowly bastard really has a scheming mind? Otherwise, how could he do it!”
“Forget it, we must be more careful in the future!” The Concubine Fang was really tired, after the Mama Zhang carried the beauty up to the top, they immediately fell into a deep sleep.
After Xie Wanqing sent the old lady back to her room, she then followed the servant back to her own room, where Yue Xin helped her to sleep. The entire day had been tiring and tiring, but after returning to her room, she heard that Xie Kai was resting in Madame Ye’s room, and Xie Wanqing felt that everything she had done was worth it.
Deep in the night, Xie Wanqing’s courtyard was tranquil and quiet. Due to Xie Wanqing’s early rest, everyone had already fallen asleep at this time of the night.
A burning incense was inserted into Xie Wanqing’s room from the window. Xie Wanqing was currently sleeping soundly in the room with a smile on her face, as if she was having a beautiful dream.
After the incense was burnt to the ground, the man in black quietly opened the door. Even though the door creaked, the man did not show any fear. Rather, he was quite bold.
The faint fragrance of sandalwood filled the room. The incense burner was still smoking. That person took out a paper packet from his sleeve. After opening it, it was filled with black powder, which he poured into the incense burner to cover it.
After that, he walked out of the room. The door was still under his control. That person turned around and looked. – Shoot! – He disappeared.
In the middle of the night, Yue Xin went to Xie Wanqing’s room to check. This was according to Xie Wanqing’s instructions, no one knew if there was anything wrong with Yue Xin’s room.
