Fractious Legitimate Daughter - C135
Xie Wanqing only thought that it was not easy to live a new life, and those despicable things, or those things that were meticulous in their thoughts, mostly happened during the night, it was just that she had worked hard, and did not slack off for a single day.
Yue Xin watched from her room, everything was normal, but in the past, when Xie Wanqing was tired, she would also snore at night, but now that she did not, Yue Xin thought that it was probably because Xie Wanqing was sleeping soundly.
The sandalwood in the room was still emitting a faint fragrance, and upon seeing that the spices were almost burnt out, Yue Xin secretly opened the censer to add in some, but when she opened it, she immediately felt a wave of dizziness. The fragrance was still there, but it was very suffocating.
The moonlight tonight was exceptionally beautiful. Yue Xin could clearly see something black through the stars of the flames.
Ever since Xie Wanqing had stayed in the buddhist hall for a long time, the room no longer used the Yi Huoxiang that she used to like, but instead used the sandalwood.
Firstly, the old lady knew that Xie Wanqing believed in buddhist mantras. Secondly, Xie Wanqing had really fallen for this fragrance, and it could calm her mind.
Yue Xin staggered a few steps, she finally knew why Xie Wanqing did not snore, and her first reaction was that someone must have added something into the mix.
Yue Xin quickly sealed the censer, and without caring about the fact that the censer was hot enough to burn her hands, she forcefully suppressed his voice and placed it in the backyard.
Without Xie Wanqing’s instructions, Yue Xin would definitely not dare to casually dispose of the fragrant ashes inside, and then look at Xie Wanqing who was on the bed.
“Miss, Miss …” Xie Wanqing woke up from her sleep, but for some reason, she couldn’t open her eyes. She just felt very tired, and wanted to continue sleeping.
In front of his eyes was an endless expanse of darkness. Other than this darkness, there was nothing else.
Xie Wanqing only felt as if she couldn’t move a muscle and could only try moving around bit by bit. His voice was so anxious that it sounded like she was about to cry.
“Miss … “Wake up, wake up, wake up …” Right now, she could only rely on Yue Xin alone, but Xie Wanqing felt that she did not know what was dragging him along at the other end.
He only felt that Yue Xin was shaking his body and that his body was already numb. Black Yue Xin seemed to be slowly recovering.
Xie Wanqing closed his eyes but could not open it. Now that sshe had a bit of intuition, he could directly throw herself onto the ground ruthlessly.
The pain was the easiest way to clear one’s mind, and it only took Xie Wanqing an instant to clear it up.
Faintly opening her eyes, she saw that the Yue Xin in front of him had already shed two tears, but Xie Wanqing still looked a little tired.
Then she sat up. “What happened to me?” With such an intense headache and a dizzy feeling, Xie Wanqing was still not completely awake even though she shook her head.
“Miss, someone added something into the censer. Luckily you woke up, and I was really scared to death.” Yue Xin looked like she was really scared, and cried out.
Xie Wanqing then used Yue Xin’s support to help him stand up. Her legs were weak, and when she stood up, he almost fell to the ground again.
Yue Xin quickly opened the window, and even after walking around the room for a long time, she was still able to recover a little, but she felt that her body was still very cold.
“Go and bring that censer over for me to take a look!” Xie Wanqing’s voice was a little hoarse, the censer had been placed outside and extinguished by the cold wind, Yue Xin dispersed the smell and brought it in.
Xie Wanqing opened the incense burner, and other than the sandalwood white ashes, there were also some black powder, which looked strange. Know what it is.
The incense that Xie Wanqing had used before was black after she burnt it, and the current one was white after she burnt it. Xie Wanqing had only used the incense for a short while, so no one should know about this yet.
So even if it was this black coloured powder, could someone intentionally make it so that even if Xie Wanqing was on guard, she would still not be able to make it out?
The more Xie Wanqing thought about it, the more she felt that this matter had something to do with the top tier Concubine Fang s.
He took a closer sniff and couldn’t smell anything apart from the scent of sandalwood. It must be a deadly medicine!
It’s just that it’s so late, could it be someone else? Xie Wanqing was sitting on the bed in a daze, even the cold winter room that had windows wide open did not feel cold.
“Miss, why not let this servant pour this dirty thing out and replace it with a new fragrance?” Seeing Xie Wanqing seemingly pondering, Yue Xin asked carefully from the side.
“Don’t, pour the fragrant ashes out and leave them for me. Then, secretly change them. Don’t attract anyone’s attention anymore!” Yue Xin agreed and then went down.
However, Xie Wanqing just sat on the bed in a daze, and only allowed Yue Xin to put on a pile of clothes; he was no longer in the mood to sleep.
Concubine Fang’s eyes were red, sshe never thought that she would actually want to put him to death like this, she was just a girl after all. Thinking about it, if not for Yue Xin, he was afraid that she would die, and could not help but feel afraid.
Dreamless had slept extremely deeply tonight. There must have been someone who had entered this room at night, but who could it be?
“Yue Xin, go and check the maids’ quarters. No one is not on the bed, and no one is awake!” Looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, Xie Wanqing’s heart was not at all at ease.
Yue Xin agreed and then went down, the dirty thing was already being held up with a piece of paper, and casually placed it on top of Xie Wanqing’s bed. Xie Wanqing picked it up, and carefully caressed the paper, revealing a sinister look.
She wanted to gather these evidence bit by bit until the day the truth was exposed. This would be the key to killing Concubine Fang.
Yue Xin lit an incense burner once again for Xie Wanqing. This time, it was to soothe Xie Wanqing’s mind, probably because she hoped that Xie Wanqing would quickly fall asleep.
“Miss …” Yue Xin wanted to console Xie Wanqing, but for this kind of thing, the person who harmed the most was Xie Wanqing’s mother, the Concubine Fang. Even if she wanted to comfort her, Yue Xin did not know how to put it into words.
“Yue Xin, you should go rest first. Today, it’s all thanks to you!” Xie Wanqing’s expression was wooden, as she only wanted to be alone and calm down, so Yue Xin had no choice but to withdraw.
That night, Xie Wanqing sat on the bed until daybreak, and only when the servants were up did Yue Xin come and help Xie Wanqing with her makeup.
Even if there was more rouge, it wouldn’t be able to stop Xie Wanqing’s bruise, “Miss, actually you don’t need to be like this, the higher ups of the underworld have many schemes, at worst, we can just guard against her in the future, it will be just, she will also …”
Xie Wanqing did not let Yue Xin know about that matter. Xie Wanqing had roughly said that she was Xie Wanqing’s biological mother as well.
Yue Xin had thought that Xie Wanqing did not sleep after midnight because she was sad that her biological mother wanted to harm him. This was impossible for the current Xie Wanqing, but the reason why Xie Wanqing did not sleep was entirely because she thought about how long the road was one night ago.
Xie Wanqing glanced at Yue Xin, “Not only should I guard against her, I should also retaliate. Don’t tell me I should just let her bully me day after day!”
While Xie Wanqing was speaking, a trace of fierceness flashed across her eyes, causing Yue Xin to be startled, and she pulled on Xie Wanqing’s hair painfully.
“Yue Xin, you also think that I don’t look like a child anymore, right?” Xie Wanqing did not scold her. Instead, she tightly grabbed Yue Xin’s hand and looked straight into her eyes.
“No matter what Miss does, I will follow Miss’s lead!” Yue Xin’s eyes revealed determination, it was really hard for him, with such a young age, following by his side, he thought about what the maids did not need to think about, and secretly thought in his heart, holding onto Yue Xin’s hand, he unconsciously tensed up.
