Fractious Legitimate Daughter - C164
This matter was already huge, if he only told it to the madame, then who knows what would happen. He might even say that Xie Wanqing wanted to persecute her own mother and sister, to be ungrateful, and fight against her own relatives.
Thus, the more people he saw, the better. As for the old mistress, after hearing Xie Wanqing’s words, she felt that what she said was true.
A few maids were sent out to summon the masters of the various rooms. As for the Concubine Fang s who were originally confined in their rooms, they were finally able to come out. The first one to come was Xie Kai.
Xie Kai had been so busy these past few days that he had not revealed anything. However, the moment he heard that this matter was the first one to appear, it could be seen that he valued this matter greatly.
Xie Wanqing was even more curious, just what kind of charm did Concubine Fang have that made Xie Kai unable to relax? Even when he was just a year old, no matter how busy he was, he would not go to the room where his concubine was dancing.
“Xianqing greets father!” Xie Wanqing still did not dare to forget her manners.
Xie Wanqing saw that there was still some pity in Xie Kai’s eyes, but it was only just that slight trace.
“Get up, did you really find out about that?”
There was still a trace of suspicion in Xie Kai’s eyes. He had originally thought that Xie Wanqing would be able to discover something, but looking at her expression, it seemed that she had already investigated everything with absolute certainty.
“It doesn’t matter whether or not you have investigated it clearly, so please call for the elders to make the decision!” Xie Wanqing said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
In fact, Xie Kai didn’t really want Xie Wanqing to know that this matter was related to the Concubine Fang, but he hoped that the Concubine Fang was also the woman that Xie Kai doted on.
It was a pity that the matters in the backyard were managed by the madame, so Xie Kai could only say those words.
After a while, almost everyone had arrived, “Xianqing, can you tell us what you’ve found?” When the Old Mistress spoke, Xie Wanqing immediately knelt down.
“Grandmother, I believe that Concubine Fang would not do anything bad to Xi Qing, but I did find out about the New Year’s Eve incident and it was indeed elder sister’s doing. As for that young maid, Xi Qing has already stayed in my room and the rumors that she had been acting so arrogantly for the past few months were all spread out by my elder sister’s young servant!”
“What?” Everyone looked at each other. Although in the smallest details, the Concubine Fang did indeed seem to like Xie Wanyun more, but how could there be a biological mother who harmed her daughter?!
“Did you find out about it?” This time, the one who spoke was Xie Kai, and the gaze in which he looked at Xie Wanqing was complicated.
This Xie Wanyun and Xie Wanqing should be sisters, how could they kill each other? Xie Kai thought that the main problem here must be with the Concubine Fang!
Grandmother and father will take a look at the testimony. The testimony said that they had heard a young maid speak of slander against her, and then it was spread out as idle gossip. Furthermore, Nightingale asked the young maidservants in the rooms of the Concubine Fang and elder sister about it, and everyone said the same thing.
“Zhiqing, you can’t say it like that. Do you really believe the words of these maidservants? I’m your biological mother, how could I possibly harm you?” Concubine Fang immediately fell from her chair and sat on the ground. She looked really sad.
Xie Wanqing knew that the Concubine Fang must be acting so pitifully. Hadn’t she always been like this?
“If it was only the testimony of a few maids, then I wouldn’t dare to spout nonsense. However, there was a young maid who went out of my sister’s room earlier. She was found by the butler, and that maid was the one who spread the rumors about the harm she had suffered earlier!”
“It’s just a normal girl. Maybe this is just a coincidence!” Xie Kai was obviously protecting the Concubine Fang.
Concubine Fang was also getting more and more excited. She crawled over and tightly hugged Xie Kai’s leg: “Old master, I am the one who gave birth to Xianqing and Xianyun. How can she wrongly accuse me and Xianyun?”
When Xie Kai saw that his concubine was crying so much that it looked like she wouldn’t lie, he was even more willing to believe in the Concubine Fang.
“Father, Xianqing knows that Concubine Fang is the biological mother of Xianqing, so she didn’t dare to carelessly accuse him, so she went on to investigate. The maid who was kicked out of the house got a huge job that night, and everything was turned into ashes, but the liberating neighbor said that when the servant came back, she received a lot of silver, and in the silver bugle, she took out two hundred taels of silver from the silver buff!”
Concubine Fang looked at Xie Wanqing in disbelief, she had never expected that Xie Wanqing’s investigations would be so meticulous. Concubine Fang had never written anything about it in her silver account, so it was naturally exposed as well.
As for Xie Kai, who originally wanted to protect Concubine Fang, now, she had nothing to say. Only Concubine Fang firmly hugged onto Xie Kai’s thigh, “Master, I didn’t, I didn’t …” Other than not having any other things, she could not say anything else.
“The evidence is already conclusive, and yet you still say no?! Sangqing is your biological daughter. Even if you prefer your eldest daughter, you shouldn’t do such a thing!” A sharp voice came from the side.
Others might not understand the schemes and tricks behind the scenes, but they did not know that Xie Wanqing was not the daughter of the Concubine Fang.
“Shaofang, why are you doing this!” The madame’s question was gentle, but the meaning behind her words was that she believed Xie Wanqing’s words.
There was no need to talk about the maid’s testimony anymore. The thing that Xie Wanqing found out was that they were all pointed at the Concubine Fang and Xie Wanyun.
But Aunt, forgive me, okay? I won’t go and snatch Big Sister’s position as the Direct Daughter, I only want to stay with my father and grandmother, and Aunt will remember what she said to her in the past. The position of Direct Daughter belongs to Big Sister, so I won’t go and snatch it away from you, okay! ”
These words caused Concubine Fang to open her eyes wide, when had she ever said something like that to the contrary? Although she thought about it in her mind, she never said it out loud, but now, it was as if Xie Wanqing was half possessed.
Seeing Concubine Fang’s surprised expression, Xie Wanqing thought that Xie Wanqing would say something like that.
In her previous life, this mother and daughter duo had acted quite a few times, and unknowingly, Xie Wanqing was put to death little by little. In this life, Xie Wanqing had also learned how to act, and this match was treated as a present for this mother and daughter pair.
Xie Wanqing cried as she wiped her tears. Who wouldn’t believe her, only the Concubine Fang was shocked as she said, “Xinqing, you can’t say that. When did I say that?
The Concubine Fang originally still wanted to protect her daughter, but Xie Wanyun was still inside the buddhist hall. Little did she know, this place was already in such a mess, it was already difficult for the Concubine Fang to protect herself.
“My daughter-in-law knows of Xianqing’s character. She is still a child, so she probably won’t lie!” Madame Ye sat beside the old lady and said to her.
Originally, the Old Mistress was already familiar with Xie Wanqing. Although she was a small fry, the Old Mistress thought that Xie Wanqing would never do something that she did not know of.
On the other hand, Concubine Fang was not someone who could be at ease just by looking at her. It was normal for her to have never heard rumors about her and her eldest daughter coveting for Direct Daughter.
This was all done by Xie Wanqing on a daily basis, which allowed the people around him to not suspect Xie Wanqing at all. They just felt that Xie Wanqing saying that the Concubine Fang was like this, was definitely not wrong.
“It’s so late Qing, did Concubine Fang really say that?” The others did not dare to say another word, and only Xie Kai asked after a long while.
“Father, Xianqing knows that she is mischievous and has done a lot of things. If Xianqing is wrong, she has no intention of fighting with elder sister for the position of Direct Daughter, but it is not her fault that County Prince Liang treats her well. How can elder sister and aunt do this?” Xie Wanqing sobbed as she replied.
