Fractious Legitimate Daughter - C162
Xie Wanqing originally came out late, and with her short legs, it was almost time to go to the hall. Inside were all the concubines, and only Xie Kai was busy with his work, so she sent someone to tell the old lady that he had eaten in his room.
Apart from this, Xie Wanyun’s seat with the Concubine Fang was empty. Seeing it was exceptionally conspicuous, Xie Wanqing didn’t say anything else and just sat down on her own seat according to the rules.
It was a harmonious meal. As the old mistress grew old, she naturally liked to see such scenes the most. They also cooperated, but the discord of the past did not show up at all.
Xie Wanqing had only spoken a few words with Xie Huaixing, but Xie Wanqing was too lazy to bother with him. She did not have much appetite for the meal, so she ate only a few meals, then left.
Just that Xie Wanqing was in his room embroidering when she heard the door open. She turned around to see Madame Ye, who rarely came to Xie Wanqing’s room, and was now surprised.
“Mother, why have you come?” Xie Wanqing saw a few snowflakes on Madame Ye’s shoulder, and quickly brushed them away, “It’s still snowing outside, quickly First Mother come over and warm the fire!”
As Xie Wanqing said that, she held Madame Ye’s hand and walked over to the carbon fire, and Madame Ye laughed, “Sangqing, there’s no harm in holding back your head, I’ve come to find you to say a few words!”
“Aunty, what do you want to say? I will definitely listen!” Xie Wanqing said as she raised her small head, looking extremely adorable.
“Your Concubine Fang and your sister have already been locked up for two days. How is your investigation going?” Madame Ye asked as she helped to straighten Xie Wanqing’s sideburns.
“Xianqing still needs some time to confirm some things, so I can only let Concubine Fang down!” Although the Madame Ye doted on Xie Wanqing, he still had to be careful, and could not speak the heartfelt words of her heart.
“This is what grandma wants to talk about. Even if you really did find out, what would happen in the future?” Your grandma knows that you have a lot of evil ideas and can often turn the situation around, but it’s not guaranteed that you’ll … “So we should just let them go, and then this will be over!”
Perhaps because there were only two people in the room, Madame Ye and Xie Wanqing’s words were very straightforward, allowing Xie Wanqing to understand the meaning behind Madame Ye’s words.
Although Madame Ye wanted Xie Wanqing to release her on the surface, it was true that she was considering it for Xie Wanqing. What happened this time was just a rumor, and one of them wanted Xie Wanqing to lose her reputation, but in the end, Xie Wanqing did not die because she was fine.
However, there was a chance that the dogs would bite if they were anxious. If they were anxious, who knew what they might do? They might just think of something and let them sink into a more difficult situation.
“I understand that, but I don’t want to hold it in. If they didn’t do it, I would have returned their innocence. But if it’s true, I don’t want to let them go.”
“You child!” Madame Ye sighed and then scratched Xie Wanqing’s nose. It was intimate but also helpless.
“Have you ever heard of a phrase like ‘dogs don’t eat shit’? “A scheming person would not change his mind just because of a moment of mercy from Xianqing. Since that’s the case, why should Xianqing let it go?” What Xie Wanqing said with her mouth opened and closed was completely reasonable.
The Madame Ye was a girl from a noble family, but she did not learn anything about the women in the family. She only learned the virtuous and gentle ways of a noble family’s girl.
That was why he was able to force a proper wife into such an awkward situation. The husband was heartless, and the mother-in-law disdained him. He was afraid that he was going to have a difficult time during this period.
Xie Wanqing did say this to the Madame Ye, to tell him that those arrogant things were not necessary, but she nodded his head, though it was unknown if she heard it.
“Then you must be careful from now on. If this goes on, your Concubine Fang will repeatedly complain. Who knows if your grandmother will release her now!”
This matter has already begun to take shape. In less than three days, Concubine Fang and Big Sis will definitely be buried in deep grievances! ”
Xie Wanqing’s words were beautiful, it was the same even in front of Madame Ye, who nodded and left, in the end, it was Daughter of Concubine’s house, she could not stay for long, because others would say that she was biased.
After Madame Ye left, the sky had already turned completely dark. Xie Wanqing indifferently watched as she combed her hair using a comb in the copper mirror. Under the candlelight, Xie Wanqing only felt that the delicate face in the copper mirror was a little unfamiliar.
Beneath her young and tender face, his meticulous planning made even Xie Wanqing, who thought about it, feel afraid. However, in this deep palace, Xie Wanqing had no choice but to live that life.
Xie Wanqing just felt very tired. After staining her hands with fresh flower juice, she went to sleep.
At noon on the second day, Yue Xin walked to Xie Wanqing’s room, turned around and closed the door. Xie Wanqing knew, Yue Xin must have something important to say.
“How’s the investigation going?” Seeing that Yue Xin’s expression was not good, she reckoned that she did not check it out clearly, but Xie Wanqing was not angry, and was currently fighting against the mother and daughter, and had already guessed that it would be extremely difficult.
“Miss, this servant asked the steward about the whereabouts of the maid that left this place early in the morning. When I arrived at her house, I saw that she had already been turned into ashes!”
“What?” Xie Wanqing’s hand that was holding the teacup trembled, and all the tea inside was poured onto her hand and the table. Yue Xin quickly used a handkerchief to help Xie Wanqing wipe her hand.
Xie Wanqing slowly walked to the window, and a bad premonition arose in his heart, “Then what about that little servant girl?” Xie Wanqing’s voice was cold, and only for a short moment, she already had a rough idea of what was going on in his heart.
“I heard from a neighbor that two months ago, there was a huge fire and the whole family was not spared. Afterwards, this servant tried to find out everywhere and found out that the young maid also had an aunt. However, we do not know what we want to know!”
“Two months ago?” Xie Wanqing never thought that there would be someone who would be so vicious and merciless. She wanted to console herself that this might just be an accident in this family, but time was enough to explain this.
“That’s right. This servant asked around nearby, and said that something happened on the same night as when the daughter came back. However, the young maid brought back a lot of silver. Everyone in the neighborhood knows about this!”
After Yue Xin finished speaking, Xie Wanqing no longer responded, she only looked out of the window in a daze, as if she was thinking about something.
“Miss, what are you thinking about?” Yue Xin called out, only then did Xie Wanqing come back to her senses.
Just now, Xie Wanqing was thinking that this pair of mother and daughter were actually so vicious and merciless. They treated him as revenge, but could it be that they could implicate the lives of innocent people just for revenge?
“It’s nothing, Yue Xin, you can leave, I’m just a little annoyed!”
Yue Xin sat on the edge of the bed, and scratched her head in annoyance. A kind-hearted person would not listen to so many life and death situations.
It was just that Xie Wanqing was currently on the cusp of the tides, so no one said anything. Everyone was coldly watching, wanting to see what kind of thing Xie Wanqing could find out.
Since Yue Xin had already said it, even the neighbors knew about it, which meant that Xie Wanqing’s guess was correct.
Xie Wanqing stayed in the room for a while, when her emotions had calmed down, she called Yue Xin in again, “How is Lv Yi?”
“Miss, Lv Yi’s mouth is the hardest, she can’t get anything out, all the proof are told by the servants!” Yue Xin muttered. Yue Xin also felt that it was inappropriate.
“Where’s the Mama Zhang?”
“Old Mama can’t use torture, but she has already been interrogated, so she doesn’t say anything!”
The old Mama in the Marquis Anyang’s Mansion could not punish this was a rule, but they could not torture them. What could they ask, as long as one of the people close to the mother and daughter let go of their words, this matter could be considered as having a witness.
