Fractious Legitimate Daughter - C156
Everyone quietened down, the food in front of them was all over the place, but other than Xie Huaixing, no one else would covet the food in front of them. Everyone wanted to see if the two who had not arrived were really together, and there might be a good show to watch next, so why not?
Finally, Xie Wanqing and Han Hao managed to make it in time, and it was even the two of them who came at the same time.
Although they did not dare say it out loud, the next part were the whispers of two people. Xie Wanqing and Han Hao calmly and indifferently walked forward, and then knelt down.
“Both Su Qing and Han Hao are admiring the Plum Blossom in the garden. I never thought that would make everyone wait for so long, it is truly Su Qing’s fault!”
“Humph, who knows if it’s just a plum or a beauty, Xie Wanqing, you must have been inside Han Hao’s house all these days!” A cold and cunning voice could be heard.
Xie Wanqing turned her head to look, it was an aunt that Xie Wanqing did not normally want to be with, and so everyone here was defeated. Xie Wanqing turned to look, it was an aunt that Xie Wanqing did not normally want to be with, and everyone here was defeated.
“What Aunt said is right. It’s the new year and even the maidservants in the mansion are dressed charmingly. It’s right to call them ‘admirers’!” Xie Wanqing’s clever reply completely misunderstood the lady’s meaning, her face looked as though she was about to suffocate green.
“Yanqing, why are you going in and out with Han Hao again? In the end, it was right in front of Han Hao, so the old lady’s words were extremely tactful. However, as Han Hao listened, his face unknowingly darkened further, the meaning of those words, was obvious to him: was not allowed to be together with him.
Just like Xie Wanqing had guessed, the County Prince Liang would definitely come back to find Xie Wanqing on New Year’s Eve. Firstly, there was no reason not to get a woman that County Prince Liang liked, and secondly, even if the County Prince Liang didn’t want to come, there would still be people who wanted him to come!
Originally, it was a servant from the Marquis Anyang’s Mansion who reported it to her. After saying that Xie Wanqing wanted her to accompany him for a meal, the County Prince Liang did not even bother about her own family’s New Year’s Eve meal, and directly came over.
Xie Wanqing and Han Hao stood together. There were a lot of things that happened with Han Hao in the County Prince Liang, and it was unavoidable that there were some grudges in his heart. However, when he saw that Xie Wanqing did not know how to repent in the first place, he did not know how angry she had become.
When Xie Wanqing saw this person, and then saw that the others were all trembling with fear and with their heads lowered, it was as if Xie Wanyun had predicted it. It seemed that the person who had given County Prince Liang a chance to go down the steps today was no stranger, it was Xie Wanyun.
According to Xie Wanyun’s way of doing things, Xie Wanqing had already thought that Xie Wanyun would send a unfamiliar maid to notify him, causing County Prince Liang to rush over. She never expected that in the end, what she saw was actually what he least wanted to see.
Xie Wanqing still remained calm and collected. She got up to greet them, but the anger in her eyes had long ago become uncontrollable.
“Xie Wanqing, you called me here, just to show me this?” Zhao Yuqi was a little older, a year older than Xie Wanyun, so he must have understood the relationship between a man and a woman.
“I don’t know, but I spent the entire day in Han Hao’s house preparing a present for Grandmother and all the clan elders. I did not call County Prince Liang over!” Xie Wanqing’s eyes were filled with disbelief and surprise.
It was obvious that he was preparing a present, but yet, Zhao Yuqi had only heard the sound of two people together throughout the entire day, their hands tightly clenching into fists. There were even some “ge ge” sounds.
On the other hand, Madame Ye’s expression became much gentler: “Xinqing, you said that you’ve already prepared a present for the elders of the family?”
“Yes!” Esteemed wenqing is almost dead from work these few days, and it would be hard for Han Hao to help out, both he and Han Hao have prepared gifts for everyone! ” After saying that, Yue Xin magically brought out a huge plate with all sorts of exquisite boxes.
“It’s yours, Grandma, and it’s Grandmother’s!” Xie Wanqing then handed over the biggest box and a slightly smaller box to the old lady and Concubine Fang.
The old mistress’ expression was cold, but her expression softened as soon as she opened the box. Inside the larger box was a small Buddha statue.
“Zhiqing, is this what you’ve been busy with these days?” The madame held it like a treasure. Just by looking at it, one could tell how much she liked it!
As for the Madame Ye’s box, it was a small box for sending off Guan Yin. The craftsmanship was indeed vivid and lifelike, a smile appearing on his cold face. It was clear that he liked it a lot.
“Yeah, Grandmother, Xi Qing and Han Hao calculated that on New Year’s Eve, we must always give some gifts to the elders in the family, and also thank everyone for taking care of Xi Qing. After thinking about it, this is how it should be, it should be done with your heart!”
As Xie Wanqing said that, she glanced at Zhao Yuqi who was beside him with eyes full of surprise, and in Xie Wanyun’s eyes, even more so.
“So, don’t you have any more?” Xie Huaixing naturally did not understand, but just now Xie Wanqing had said that only the elders in the family had it, so Xie Huaixing laid on the table in a slightly depressed manner, as if he had swept away everyone’s interest.
“You can’t be left out no matter where you go. Sister Wanqing has prepared this for you!” The rest were all unremarkable little boxes. Xie Wanqing picked up a box as she spoke, and handed it over to Xie Huaixing.
“Wow!” Xie Huaixing was originally looking forward to it in his heart, but after opening it, he saw a blameless old fogey who made him even happier.
“Good evening, so thoughtful of you!” Although Madame Huang initially had some resentment towards Xie Wanqing, now that she saw that Xie Wanqing was actually so capable, how could she say anything about Xie Wanqing. Furthermore, if his own son was happy, he would naturally feel at ease.
“Amongst them, there is also Han Hao’s contribution, these things were all drawn by me one by one, but Han Hao was the most hardworking. He originally learned how to work as a carpenter at the border, and now after helping Ye Qing carve out these things piece by piece, even the wood was given to the servants to retrieve, Han Hao picked and picked them up, giving up many things before picking them!”
Xie Wanqing said as she sneaked a peek at Zhao Yuqi. Everyone was happy now, but Zhao Yuqi just wasn’t happy.
As Xie Wanqing spoke, she walked in front of Zhao Yuqi, and blessed herself with her body. “Se Qing also prepared a present for County Prince Liang, but this County Prince Liang wanted it, it was personally made by Se Qing herself.
With that said, Zhao Yuqi was truly interested. Xie Wanqing immediately took out a box, and inside it was a willow leaf scented bag.
Everyone knew what Liu Ye meant by that, but to give it to the County Prince Liang in such a public place was obviously to provoke someone, and to announce their relationship with the County Prince Liang.
“Xianqing heard that County Prince Liang was feeling tired from thinking too much in the recent days, so she specially made a scented sachet. Inside the sachet is Yilan, who had calmed her mind, I hope County Prince Liang would accept it.” As Xie Wanqing spoke, her face couldn’t help but flush a little.
If it was any other person looking like this, the Old Madam would be furious, but that person was County Prince Liang. To Marquis Anyang’s Mansion, he was simply a golden turtle in law.
“Good, very good!” The old mistress was already happy when she saw the exquisite carving of the Buddha, but now she was grinning from ear to ear.
The old lady had already said it, the other people would not do whatever they want, how could they still remember how disdainful they were towards Xie Wanqing, they all agreed.
