Fractious Legitimate Daughter - C169
Since the large buddhist hall was occupied by others, Xie Wanqing and the madame stayed in the small buddhist hall in the side hall of the house until late at night before leaving.
In the next few days, the buddhist hall was lonely, but Xie Wanqing was busy without touching the floor. Even though she did not have to go to school, he could stay in Madame Ye’s room or practice in Xie Kai’s study during the day, and after eating dinner, she went to the old lady’s room.
Xie Huaixing had only come to find Xie Wanqing on the seventh day of the year and since Shouxi School was starting tomorrow, that was why Madame Huang released Xie Huaixing. Xie Wanqing didn’t have that much time, so she only stayed with Xie Huaixing for two hours before sending him back to Madame Huang’s room.
However, looking at Madame Huang’s expression that day, she also felt a bit of guilt and pity for Xie Wanqing. After all, Madame Huang had treated Xie Wanqing coldly that day, not to mention that she had openly and secretly mocked and ridiculed Xie Wanqing.
Now, everyone knew that Xie Wanqing ignored the past grudges and brought a few snacks to visit her birth mother and sister. She was truly filial.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the first month. Concubine Fang and Xie Wanyun had been meditating in the buddhist hall for over 10 days now, and during the day, Xie Wanqing was copying the buddhist scriptures in Xie Kai’s room. When night came, she went to the old lady’s room.
“Grandmother, I have a request!” He lowered his head, looking as if he could not bear to speak.
“Good evening, get up quickly and speak!” The old mistress took a sip of tea. Although she did not like the Daughter of Concubine, for Xie Wanqing to visit her everyday, it gave her a lot of fun.
“Concubine Fang and Big Sis have already been in the buddhist hall for a while, I missed you so much, so could Grandmother please release Big Sis and Big Sis?” As Xie Wanqing said this, her eyes started to tear up.
“You are a good child. I heard that you even went to visit them, but unfortunately, they failed and did such a thing. You are willing to forgive them!”
“Grandmother, Yanqing thinks this punishment is enough. Furthermore, she will be attending the academy tomorrow. If sister misses her homework because of this, Yanqing will also feel guilty!” Xie Wanqing stepped forward and held onto the madame’s hand.
The old mistress looked down at her tender hands. How could she not be moved? She then said, “Forget it. Since you’ve helped them out, let them out!”
“Grandmother, thank you very much. Concubine Fang and elder sister will be very happy to learn of this!” After Xie Wanqing finished, he looked to be extremely happy, and left after saying her farewells.
“Madame, this Second Miss …” Mama Xin also noticed that something was amiss. Previously, when they were taking care of and Concubine Fang, this mother and daughter pair had not left a good impression on Mama Xin at all.
On the other hand, Xie Wanqing had always shown this kind of respect towards the Mama Xin, and seeing that new path the Mama Xin was taking and even sent people to help him, the Mama Xin was biased towards him in her heart.
“I heard that her eyes turned red when she came out of the buddhist hall. It seems like they must have said something to her!” The Old Mistress turned her head to look at Mama Xin, who nodded.
“It’s just that Second Miss looks wronged … This servant feels like the back of my hand is full of meat! ” If there were too many words, Mama Xin and a servant cannot say much.
“Who knows? My heart is filled with doubts too. Just looking at this sunset, I feel a bit of heartache!” The old mistress frowned slightly.
Mama Xin nodded her head, “In those few days when I served you, I felt that although Eldest Miss did not say it on the surface, but she secretly had a good temper, so Second Miss’s temper became much better!”
“Frankly speaking, wasn’t it just for that Direct Daughter? I had originally thought that she would only have such intentions at this age when she was going to get married. Who would have thought that there would still be a few more years!”
The old mistress was silent for a long time, but what she said was the truth. The internal conflict in the family had already reached the surface, which was something the old mistress did not want to see. So she was more concerned about the mother and daughter.
In the position of Direct Daughter, the Old Granny had always been optimistic about Xie Wanqing. Although she was young, she had always been well-received. Now, not only were her friends with great amounts of General Mansion, he had even gained the favor of the County Prince Liang.
“Watching from the sidelines, I’m afraid it’s not a good thing that you’re plotting. I’m afraid you’ll be despised!” Mama Xin helped the Old Mistress to her feet and walked to the room by the window.
For the whole day, the two people in the buddhist hall didn’t say a word. Perhaps they each had their own thoughts or resentments in their hearts!
“Creak!” It was enough to make two people inside turn around. Ever since the Concubine Fang entered, no one opened the door, and even the Concubine Fang did not allow her to serve in the room. She rushed outside, and even brought in her daily meals from outside the small window.
She then saw a cheerful little figure run in, “Sister A, Aunt, Grandmother has already agreed to let you out!”
It was hard to find a single flaw on their cheerful faces. Although the two of them were unhappy, they could not say anything on the surface.
Initially, when he was here, he had even dreamt of leaving, but now that he could suddenly leave, his first reaction was whether Xie Wanqing had said anything in front of the old lady.
These two were originally frightened birds, but now they were even more anxious. “Esteemed wangfei told you before that you don’t need to plead on behalf of auntie and elder sister. How could your grandmother be willing to let us out!”
Xie Wanqing was not stupid, she absolutely could not say anything when she begged, so after thinking for a bit, she said: “Maybe it’s the New Year outside, so Grandmother’s heart softened. Every time Ye Qing saw Grandmother, she would say that she missed Aunt Ye Qing, Grandmother must have already guessed that Aunt and Aunt Yan had been wrongly accused.”
Xie Wanyun’s casual glance at the sky was full of disbelief, but since Xie Wanqing had said so, they could not just directly ask the old lady about it.
“Good child, it’s all thanks to you. Let’s go!” Concubine Fang still did not reveal her facial expression, she looked like she cared even more about Xie Wanqing, but to others, it was just like a joke.
Xie Wanqing sent the Concubine Fang back to her room before she left. All of this had happened in the eyes of others, so if she were to spit it out again, she would only feel that the Concubine Fang was in the wrong.
Tomorrow is the day of school, so Xie Wanqing returned to her room and warmed up her book, allowing Yue Xin to sleep.
Early in the morning on the second day, Xie Wanqing looked around the empty courtyard, and her heart was empty once again. During the past few days of New Year, Han Hao had not come to visit Xie Wanqing even once.
Originally, Xie Wanqing thought that since she had settled this matter, she could still return to her previous intimate friendship with Han Hao. However, in the end, it was still Xie Wanqing who was overthinking things.
Right now, Xie Wanqing had defeated all the rumors and rumors she had heard, and was playing in the open with Han Hao.
“Miss, what are you thinking!” Yue Xin was initially following behind, but Xie Wanqing suddenly stopped, as if she was in a daze, and asked.
Xie Wanqing regained her senses and looked at the familiar little servant girl in front of him. This little servant girl was the one who took out the dirty little servant girl on New Year’s Eve.
Now that Xie Wanqing had brought her to her courtyard and saved her life, and was secretly taught by Mama Zhang and Liu Li, Ru Jin did not look as timid as before.
After all, she was confused for a moment previously, and because of this matter, she had clearly seen Concubine Fang’s face, and in the end, she still needed Xie Wanqing to protect her.
Now that he took the water bucket and walked in front of Xie Wanqing, he did not forget to take good care of Xie Wanqing.
“How is it doing here? Is there anything you’re not used to?” Xie Wanqing’s expression was gentle, but the servant knew that she had done something wrong, and did not dare to look into Xie Wanqing’s eyes.
“This servant is fine. Thank you for your concern, master!” After a long time, she finally managed to say something, but nothing came out of her mouth after that.
