Fractious Legitimate Daughter - C140
As Xie Wanqing was admiring her flower arrangement, she heard the sound of someone entering. It turned out to be Concubine Fang, who rarely went to Xie Wanqing’s room, but Xie Wanqing still had some doubts and stood up to greet him: “Concubine Fang!”
“Zhiqing, quickly stop being so polite. I miss you so much when I see that you haven’t come for a few days!” As he spoke, the Concubine Fang helped him up.
“Zhiqing also misses the Concubine Fang. It’s just that these few days …” As Xie Wanqing said this, she drooped down and deliberately paused for a moment.
“Aunt knows, County Prince Liang often comes to find you, but think about it, County Prince Liang came to your room as soon as he came. Although you are young, you are still an unmarried lady, and everyone knows that County Prince Liang has feelings for you, what do you think about this?”
“I know about it, but since Grandmother told her to spend more time with County Prince Liang, there’s nothing that she can do!” Xie Wanqing had thought that Concubine Fang suddenly came to find him for a reason, but now she finally understood, it was for this!
If this goes on, and it spreads out, you, as a young miss, will not even have a reputation anymore. How about this, next time if County Prince Liang comes to your room, I will say that your sister is here, and your sister is not an outsider. Summoning her to come here with you guys is not too bad either!
As expected, it confirmed Xie Wanqing’s guess, so it turned out that Concubine Fang came this time to let Xie Wanyun get close to the County Prince Liang.
Xie Wanqing had always been indifferent, but County Prince Liang had always liked Xie Wanqing to that extent and would often come to his room.
Initially, it was Yue Xin who accompanied him at the side, but later, the County Prince Liang ordered Yue Xin to leave. General Yue Xin did not dare disobey, and only then did the two get to the stage of being alone in a room.
But like this, although Xie Wanyun wanted to get closer to the County Prince Liang, his opportunities were becoming fewer and fewer, and she was afraid she would go berserk on the other side.
In her last life, when Xie Wanqing and County Prince Liang first met each other, when they were ten years old, Xie Wanqing had jumped out of the classroom to play and mischievously fell into the lotus pond. It was only after County Prince Liang had saved Xie Wanqing that Xie Wanqing was moved, and at that time, this mother and daughter pair had often been bad at things, and now that this matter had been brought forward, the mother and daughter pair’s bad thoughts had been brought forward as well.
However, in her previous life, Xie Wanyun had frequently tried to please the County Prince Liang, but at that time, the County Prince Liang was infatuated with Xie Wan, but he had never placed Xie Wanyun in his eyes.
In this life, he thought that it would be the same, he wanted to see what was so bad about Xie Wanyun’s hot face acting in such a cold manner.
Xie Wanqing thought for a while, then said: “Thank you Aunt for your consideration, and we’ll do as Aunt says. Aunt must watch out for Esteemed Empress, when she sees that County Prince Liang is here, she’ll immediately go and call Big Sis!”
When she said that, she raised his little face and looked at Concubine Fang’s happy face, as if her scheme had succeeded. Xie Wanqing felt that it was getting more and more sarcastic, could it be that she really thought of her daughter as a beauty?
Speaking of looks, Xie Wanqing should be even better than Xie Wanyun. In the end, besides her family’s illustrious background, it was also because of her looks …
It was a pity that she had a good face, but it would be a waste if she did not try to please her. However, Xie Wanqing had inherited the Madame Ye’s appearance, so every time she looked at him in the copper mirror, her eyebrows would reveal some of the Madame Ye’s beauty.
However, the reason why the Concubine Fang looked good was mostly because of her makeup, which could seduce Xie Kai. It just so happened that Xie Wanyun was like the Concubine Fang, so although it was hard to look at, but compared to Xie Wanqing, it could not be compared, and had even less of Xie Wanqing’s playfulness.
Other people would think that the two of them came out of the same mother’s womb. They would probably be curious as to why they didn’t look the same.
“Alright, since you are an aunt, of course daughter, then of course Aunt will think of you, as long as you have your sister watching over you, as long as you are rude, it will make County Prince Liang disgusted, your sister will be the most courteous, at that time, you need to let County Prince Liang talk to your sister, County Prince Liang can really like you, too!”
What kind of logic was this? Xie Wanqing could not help but sneer in her heart. She really wanted to see when this woman would have a day where she would get carried away, and then, she would die.
Although Xie Wanqing did not understand what kind of logic was this, and was unable to explain it no matter where she told it, she still agreed with a blink of her sparkling little eyes.
“Alright, your grandmother is going too far. I don’t know how long she has been holding you in that depressing buddhist hall, but now that the County Prince Liang has helped, she released you. You don’t need to go to your grandmother’s place anymore!”
Xie Wanqing was startled, she was just looking forward to how distant she was from the Old Mistress, if it was her previous life, Xie Wanqing would have to tell Concubine Fang how much suffering she had endured in the training hall.
Thinking about how she was tricked in her previous life, Xie Wanqing wanted to slap herself to see if she could wake her up. These words were spread to the old lady’s ears, and she didn’t know what kind of inheritance she was going to pass on, no wonder the old lady didn’t like him.
“It was Xi Qing’s choice. She likes the buddhist hall, and she likes to chant with her grandma. Even if there is a chance, she still has to go to the buddhist hall to accompany her grandma, or grandma will miss her!”
How could there be a child willing to kneel in the buddhist hall all day? She was also curious in her heart, a child must be taught, just who taught Xie Wanqing to please the old lady!
“Ai, you silly child, what’s so fun about being in the buddhist hall? Why don’t I get the young maid to make you a net basket. Spring is coming and it will be more convenient to catch shrimp!”
A net basket? Xie Wanqing suddenly remembered that the Mama Feng beside him had drowned. Thinking back to the spring and summer days, she realized that she had also drowned.
Grandmother had taught Xianqing not to kill people, and now, she has even eaten much less meat. Furthermore, Teacher has asked her to study hard and not to be greedy for fun.
Concubine Fang was about to speak, but Xu Qing opened a book and said: “Qing Qing should be learning, Aunt don’t disturb her!”
These words caused Concubine Fang to have no choice but to leave, even if she did not want to leave, she could only leave the room.
Xie Wanqing did not have the mood to spare time, after reading for a while, Zhao Yuqi did not come to see her tonight. Instead, she went to the old lady’s room.
Although he didn’t have time to go at night, at least he went on time every morning. Thus, his feelings for the madame had never faded.
With regards to Xie Wanyun, Xie Wanyun had thought that the old lady had already forgotten about him, so she would often go and pay respects to him. However, the old lady did not have a good impression of him, although she did not say anything, it was still rather bland.
Although he was indifferent to Xie Wanyun now, since Xie Wanyun was so thick-skinned as to pay respects often, maybe if she was smarter, she would be able to win the old lady’s love as soon as possible.
As Xie Wanqing thought about this, she changed into a white cheongsam, looked at herself in the mirror, it was very good, only that his face lost its color, and after that, she went with Yue Xin to the old lady’s room. Coincidentally, Xie Wanyun was also there, and from afar, they could see the old lady’s mouth open and close, but her expression was extremely serious, without a trace of a smile.
Although they were both granddaughters, Xie Wanqing was already so close to the old lady that she could not get close to her.
After Xie Wanqing obediently went to pay her respects, the old lady waved at Xie Wanqing: “Yanqing, you’ve come!”
Xie Wanqing shot a glance at Xie Wanyun from the corner of her eyes. Xie Wanyun’s expression clearly showed that she was about to die from anger, as she fiercely glared at Xie Wanqing.
The old lady was not easy to fool. Other than patience, there was an even greater need for intelligence and Xie Wanyun was just a child’s soul. She would naturally not care about everything else and was even more careful to get the old lady’s favor.
Xie Wanqing had endured step by step, and was becoming more and more disdainful of Xie Wanyun, hence she was unwilling to endure it.
Even with that fierce gaze, Xie Wanqing ignored it and smiled as she spoke to the old lady.
