Fractious Legitimate Daughter - C177

On the other hand, Yue Xin helped Xie Wanqing moisten her skin, “But since Xie Yun is locked in the Prince’s Mansion’s dungeon, I’m afraid the old lady will be displeased!”

This is what you are wrong about. Being unkempt is what the madame hates the most, but the madame is even more disgusted by the Shu family’s offense. Furthermore, the madame did not allow this family of three to enter the House of the Marquis of Anyang so everyone knows about it. That means the House of the Marquis of Anyang does not recognize this family, so it can’t be considered as being unkempt!

Yue Xin listened and suddenly realised: “Miss is right, but I am afraid that this time it will still be a storm!” Yue Xin washed a handful of handkerchief and moistened her hands with the rose juice.

“Look at the road just now, there were a few people who weren’t just watching a joke. Rather than being treated as a joke by them, why don’t I make a fool of myself? I can’t just waste this opportunity.”

As Yue Xin listened, she moistened the hair on top of the dresser, where it lay. The white jade hairpin was not a priceless treasure to begin with, so even though it was not broken, a big cut on it did not seem like it could be used anymore.

He then picked out a piece of white jade glass and shook it. “Miss, please let this servant clean up quickly. I’m afraid there will be work to do in a moment!”

“It’s time for someone to come and complain. Why are you dressing up like a flower? Change into a plain white suit with a silver hairpin and you’ll be fine!”

Yue Xin had only thought that Xie Wanqing would suffer such a grievance, and wanted to dress him up even more, to the point where she would never have imagined that it would be at such a level.

Last time, Xie Yun had angered Xie Wanqing and then beat him up. Who knew what tricks she would play this time around, Xie Wanqing was the one who thought it through.

Yue Xin agreed and took the clothes out from the closet. Then, Xie Wanqing walked over, she was already nine years old and had just grown up, so even when she wore these plain clothes, her gait was still extremely beautiful.

After Yue Xin helped to tie up Xie Wanqing’s hair, Xie Wanqing went back to her room to read a book.

At a time like this, he could not go to Xie Kai’s room. If a servant came to report that he had disturbed Xie Kai, Xie Kai would inevitably be unhappy.

Xie Wanqing decided to stay in her room, and with just a book, the old lady’s maid came to report to him that she wanted him to go.

He hurriedly picked up the copper mirror and looked at his own reflection in it. This was considered appropriate, so he relaxed and smeared some red rouge on the corner of his eye before preparing to leave.

Before they even stepped out of the door, Yue Xin hurriedly reported: “Young miss and her wife are really kneeling at the entrance of the mansion, saying that they are begging for forgiveness, that’s why it alarmed the old mistress!”

Xie Wanqing said calmly. “It seems that this family has become a lot more sensible in the past!”

The woman there could also be considered Xie Wanqing’s aunt, but Xie Wanqing didn’t recognize this type of distant relative. Based on her previous aggressive attitude, Xie Wanqing had thought that that person would directly barge in.

At the very least, what they had done right now could be considered as befitting of etiquette. It seemed that they had grown quite a bit in just a few months.

Xie Wanqing looked at herself in front of the copper mirror.

After that, he dusted off his clothes and went out the door with Yue Xin. Along the way, he did not linger much longer and directly went to the old lady’s room. A thin layer of smoke slowly rose from the incense burner in the middle, making Xie Wanqing not be able to see the old lady’s face, nor could she tell if it was joy or anger.

“Xianqing greets Grandmother!” Xie Wanqing bent her body to carry her luggage, a trace of unease also appearing in her heart.

“Evening, what happened to you today, did Xie Yun get entangled with you again?” When the Old Mistress said this, Xie Wanqing knew how bad Xie Yun’s impression of the Old Mistress was.

“It’s all her fault. She shouldn’t have bothered with him, but he actually …” Xie Wanqing choked with sobs, she could not continue any further, the old lady’s eyebrows were knitted tighter together.

What exactly did Xie Yun do to Xie Wanqing that Xie Wanqing would do such a thing?

The old lady had already sent someone to investigate, just as Xie Wanqing was feeling choked up, Mama Xin walked in and whispered a few words into her ear.

The old mistress flew into a rage and slammed the table hard, making a dull sound. The wrinkles on her face deepened. “It’s the opposite of him!”

Xie Wanqing was still sobbing softly, and’s soft sobbing echoed in the room, causing the old lady to feel even more irritated.

What the Old Mistress hated the most was this kind of obscene thing, which was why Concubine Fang had been victorious over and over again because she had been stung by the Old Mistress in her previous life.

But now, Xie Wanqing just so happened to know this point, the old mistress was so angry that she begged for mercy, probably seeking her own death.

“Go out and tell them, since we’re already splitting up, then Marquis Anyang’s Mansion cannot be protected often, furthermore, they raised a good son who would do such a thing at such a young age, no one can save them!”

It was no wonder the old lady was like that. If Xie Wanqing did not have the protection of the County Prince Liang, the old lady would probably be indifferent to him, but if Xie Wanqing really did not have her innocence now, then how she would marry the County Prince Liang from now on, if word of it spread out, it would be a joke.

Xie Wanqing did not cry, but only sobbed quietly, as if she was deliberately suppressing herself. This was even easier to arouse tender affection than crying, and with the addition of the white robes she had just changed into, it gave off a pitiful feeling.

Mama Xin agreed and then went down. The old lady then looked up at Xie Wanqing, “Good child, don’t cry, I have let you suffer, it was all thanks to County Prince Liang, you have to thank him properly!”

Only then did the old lady let Xie Wanqing go down and rest. This was a rare chance for her to have leisure, since she had the time, she picked a suitable time to sneak into Han Hao’s courtyard.

Han Hao was still unconscious, and the doctor that came to invite him was helpless to do anything. Xie Wanqing was always worried, so she came to see Han Hao.

This matter was attended to by Little Nian at the side, so Xie Wanqing was quite considerate, “You may leave first!”

After Xiao Nian heard Xie Wanqing’s instructions, he went down, leaving Xie Wanqing alone by the bed. The candle light was flickering, and sometimes it was as if Xie Wanqing could see that handsome face again, but now, that face was wrapped in bandages, to the point where she did not know what was happening behind it.

“Why didn’t you wake up? Don’t tell me you’re going to sleep for the rest of your life?” In the end, Xie Wanqing held Han Hao’s hand and spoke indifferently. The only sound that reverberated in the room was Xie Wanqing’s voice, making it seem extremely lonely.

Xie Wanqing’s two small hands tightly held onto Han Hao’s hands, and in his heart, there was a kind of indescribable heaviness. The somewhat larger and rough hand that was rubbing against Xie Wanqing’s tender little hands, felt a little bit of pain, but Xie Wanqing did not mind.

“If you don’t wake up, don’t tell me you want me to take revenge for you alone. I’m not willing to care about you!” As she spoke, she rubbed Han Hao’s hands, this time from the border. There were a few calluses, Xie Wanqing wanted to laugh, but when the corner of her mouth rose, tears started to flow.

Xie Wanqing wiped her tears, “This is the first time I’ve seen you being so cowardly, even when you wake up, you’re still going to look for yourself. Do you want to lie down for a lifetime or wake up to face me!?”

After saying that, Xie Wanqing wiped his face, seeing that there was not a single tear on his face in the copper mirror, she turned and left.

The place Han Hao stayed at was always quiet, so no one saw him sneaking in and out. When Xie Wanqing returned to her room, she did not do anything else either, but continued to practice without saying a word.

“Miss, you have practiced calligraphy for a long time. Take a rest!” Yue Xin was not afraid of Xie Wanqing crying, she was afraid that Xie Wanqing’s usual silent appearance. Although it was practice, but what Xie Wanqing wrote out was still true. Only Xie Wanqing herself knew.

As she continued to hold back her words, Yue Xin was truly worried that something might happen to Xie Wanqing.

“What’s wrong with studying calligraphy? Daddy also said studying calligraphy can calm one’s mind!” Under the candlelight, there was a young girl dressed in white that looked very good, but unfortunately, that person’s heart still had not calmed down.
