Fractious Legitimate Daughter - C154
“I don’t want to play with big brother Han Hao, the people outside all say …” Xie Huaixing did not continue, but when he mentioned Han Hao, he lowered his head, as if he was disappointed.
“You don’t want to play with Han Hao just because someone else said something? Is he going to spoil the fun now that he knows? ” Xie Wanqing said as she fiddled with Xie Huaixing’s hair.
“Sister Wanqing, is what they said true? Is Big Brother Han Hao really doing this to you …” Just as Xie Huaixing was about to say something, he was shocked by a single glance from Xie Wanqing.
“Of course not, why are your ears so soft!” As Xie Wanqing spoke, she grabbed Xie Huaixing’s ears; naturally, they did not dare to hit heavily.
Xie Wanqing played with Xie Huaixing for a while longer before sending him back to Madame Huang’s house. Originally, Madame Huang had a good impression of Xie Wanqing, but it was because she knew what Xie Wanqing was doing and also helped him take care of him.
But this time, it was obvious that she did not know of this, so Xie Wanqing brought Xie Huaixing to Madame Huang’s courtyard as usual. Madame Huang was already anxiously waiting.
“Second Aunt, I’m playing in my room. I’ve brought it for you!” Xie Wanqing said as she pulled Xie Huaixing along with a smile.
However, when Madame Huang saw Xie Wanqing’s expression, she was clearly on guard, and immediately pulled away from him. She laughed: “It’s been a few days since then, it’s better if I don’t play with Xie Huaixing, I still have to thank you for bringing him back today. From now on, this matter can be handled by servants, second aunt, seeing as you’ve been busy these two days, I hope I haven’t messed things up for you, right?”
Xie Wanqing was startled, she already understood Madame Huang’s meaning, it was clear that she would often go to Han Hao’s house to talk nonsense with Han Hao. She initially thought that this matter was unrelated to Madame Huang, so she did not say anything.
But Xie Wanqing had forgotten, a lot of people in this mansion heard rumors like rain, and now that Xie Wanqing had started a rumor, everyone wanted to step on it. As for the Madame Huang, not letting Xie Wanqing and Xie Huaixing get along, they felt that the rumors were real, but they had taught Xie Huaixing astray.
“Second Aunt, I understand your words!” Xie Wanqing was too lazy to say anything, she only blessed her body and turned around to leave.
Xie Huaixing wanted to chase after his, but he was pulled back by the Madame Huang, “What are you doing?! That Sunless kid really can’t see that. With such a young age, he’s made such rumors. He then stared at Xie Huaixing, blaming him for going to Xie Wanqing’s room.
“This matter was originally spread out, and no one really saw anything. What you said just now was really too harsh!” Xie Heng walked out from the house and looked at Madame Huang.
Xie Heng was originally very unrestrained towards Xie Huaixing, but after hearing what the Madame Huang said to Xie Wanqing in the house, he started to speak. Xie Heng felt that putting aside the fact that this matter was not trustworthy, it was at least not related to his own family.
“Everyone has seen that girl running into that person’s room every day. She’s already been gossiping and she doesn’t know how to hide it. I think it’s most likely the rumored story!”
Madame Huang said as she looked in the direction of Xie Wanqing’s disappearance with disdain, “Sister Wanqing said she didn’t!” Xie Huaixing who was in front could not help but say something, but was reprimanded by the Madame Huang, “What does a child like you know?”
Xie Huaixing did not dare to speak anymore, he only looked at Madame Huang with his sparkling small eyes.
In the next few days, Xie Wanqing stayed out of interest. Originally, she would often come to play with Xie Wanqing, but as they were studying together, they all went to Xie Wanyun’s room.
In this current situation, when Xie Wanqing was compared to Xie Wanyun, it really showed that Xie Wanyun was a person who knew when to stop, and Xie Wanqing was clearly a woman who did not know when to stop.
Xie Wanqing was still the same, running back to Han Hao’s room when she had the chance, it was clear that she was giving others a chance to tell him the truth.
Xie Wanqing did not care, but on this day, when she just returned to her own house, she saw Sun Xiaoxiao in his courtyard watching over the Plum Blossom.
Xie Wanqing walked over quickly. Right now, she was at the heart of the struggle, she did not expect that Sun Xiaoxiao would actually come to see him. She thought that Lady Chen would not let Sun Xiaoxiao come find him again!
“Why did you come? This side of mine has already become a place of conflict!” Sun Xiaoxiao was looking at the folded flowers, when she turned her head and saw Xie Wanqing had returned.
“Isn’t that just to watch the show!” Sun Xiaoxiao continued to mock herself, and she continued to speak. The two of them were already at a stage where they were partially close to each other.
“Did you tell your mother that I was afraid your family’s elders would have any objections!” Xie Wanqing saw that Sun Xiaoxiao had become more and more unorthodox, so she said this.
“My aunt has said so. Although the Xie Family’s Second Miss s have only met a few times, it can be seen that they are definitely not that kind of person. If word of this spread, they would not be embarrassed or impatient. They would just tease a little girl!”
Mrs Chen was originally a straightforward person, but when Sun Xiaoxiao brought her up, she always thought that it was funny, even Yue Xin who was beside Xie Wanqing started to laugh out loud.
Xie Wanqing pulled Sun Xiaoxiao’s hand and went inside the room, with Yue Xin tactfully opening the door.
As she pulled Sun Xiaoxiao down to a seat, Xie Wanqing said. “But these few days, the chatters here have been so lively. You’d better stop it or else you’ll be infected as well!”
“Offending me can only be considered bad luck for them, I am not like you, you have to swallow your anger, even if you have to turn over your Marquis Anyang’s Mansion to find out who it was, you can only hand it over to my father to deal with!” Xie Wanqing shook her head helplessly. Sun Xiaoxiao never had such worries, so she didn’t know how many hidden thoughts were in her mind.
It’s time to get down to business. Seeing that the New Year is approaching and your life is difficult and I can’t help you with anything else, I came to deliver the silver to you. But I heard that you were in Young Master Han’s room just now! Sun Xiaoxiao said as she looked at Xie Wanqing with a teasing smile.
“Why are you also …” There’s nothing going on between us, but we can discuss about doing something big on New Year’s Eve, so we can just treat it as a huge gift to the person who slandered me! ”
Sun Xiaoxiao listened and nodded his head, “You have suffered through all this, that is how it should be, if you want to do something, you should need more gold and silver, how much do you think we will lose out on them?”
“Lost?” Hearing that, Xie Wanqing turned pale from fright, and did not realize that Sun Xiaoxiao’s smiling eyes, was just joking with Xie Wanqing.
“Hahahaha, you really believe in me? Aren’t they too lacking in confidence in themselves? Let me tell you, the business of our branch has already surpassed the main store, it’s doing very well! ”
“You’re getting more and more out of place, you only know how to lie to me!” Xie Wanqing curled her lips, and sat on the chair. Only now did she heave a sigh of relief, since she originally only wanted to take a gamble, and if she lost, it would be reasonable. However, Xie Wanqing was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to bear the price.
Now that she thought about it, since she could earn money, it shouldn’t be as bad as she thought it would be. Xie Wanqing got over to Sun Xiaoxiao’s side with great interest.
“How much did we earn?” Xie Wanqing had already mentally prepared herself. If she opened her own shop, she might earn even less, but if she could earn that much, that would be good.
Sun Xiaoxiao stretched out two fingers, and Xie Wanqing couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed. Although she could earn a little less, it had been a long time since Sun Xiaoxiao had come, and only then did she earn two thousand silvers.
Xie Wanqing had probably seen a lot of banknotes, which caused her appetite to increase. This number made Xie Wanqing unavoidably disappointed.
“Our store has not made much money in three months. However, in addition to the rent, we also need to hire a chef. It must be very expensive!” Xie Wanqing sighed and sat on the side of the bed.
“It’s twenty thousand taels. Our store’s business has already overtaken that of Manager Hong’s. I’m too embarrassed to have you help out with the rent we said earlier. We only have twenty thousand left over from the profits!”
