Fractious Legitimate Daughter - C183
“For the sake of helping Xie Yun, we envoys have relations with flesh and blood, just treat it as our aunt begging you!”
As he spoke, his tears really started to flow down on the street. Those who did not know what Xie Wanqing had done to them, turned to look at him.
Xie Wanqing was really disdainful in her heart, it seemed like, as expected, mothers must have sons, and whatever it was, it was on the surface. Luckily, they were separated, otherwise, living in Marquis Anyang’s Mansion would not even be enough to die a hundred times.
“Aunt, I understand that although Xie Yun was in the wrong, he shouldn’t have been punished. If there was really something excessive with the County Prince Liang, I, Qing Qing, would definitely advise against it.
Xie Wanqing thought that if she did not agree, then she would not be able to leave, and could only reply in this tone, but Mrs. Xie seemed to have misunderstood her request, and started crying again.
“Aunt, if Xianqing doesn’t go back now, I’m afraid the family will be worried. If grandma finds out that it was aunt who stopped her, she won’t let her go back …” Before Xie Wanqing could finish speaking, the Mrs. Xie hurriedly sent him back.
Along the way back, Xie Wanqing could only think to herself in her heart, that this family doesn’t have any schemes, no wonder they could only be a small official under the help of the Marquis Anyang’s Mansion. Otherwise, wouldn’t their first three lives not be enough to be dealt with?
However, based on what Xie Wanqing said, she was a little envious of Xie Yun. Their family’s relationship was not that complicated, so naturally they would feel at ease, unlike him …
Xie Wanqing immediately realized that she was in a trance. She couldn’t possibly have the choice to choose from the kind of family she was born in, and actually chose to think about how these things worked out.
After that, she shook her head and sped up her pace towards the Marquis Anyang’s Mansion, returning back to her clothes in a hurry and went into Xie Kai’s study.
Originally, Xie Kai hated it when people disturbed him when he was doing official business the most, but now, it just so happened that he did not hate Xie Wanqing at all.
Without Xie Wanqing, Xie Kai felt bored, and time spent handling public affairs was exceptionally long. Especially when Xie Wanqing heard yesterday that she had to accompany the County Prince Liang, so she didn’t come, Xie Kai’s heart became more and more concerned.
The sound of the door opening was followed by the entrance of a small figure who was happily escaping, causing Xie Kai’s heart to soften a little.
“Daddy!” Originally, Xie Kai was serious, even when treating his children, he did not have a trace of a smile that would cause others to fear him. But today, after seeing Xie Wanqing, his heart softened and immediately smiled.
“Why is it that I’m here a bit more at night than usual, is there anything going on in the academy?” Xie Kai casually asked as he started writing once again.
“Nope, it was aunt Xie who met her on the way, so they just exchanged a few words!” As Xie Wanqing spoke, she took out some ink and paper and placed them on a small table to study the ink.
That was why Xie Kai liked her. He knew that Xie Yun did not like having more people around him when he was dealing with official business, so he would even do the things that even a servant like Yan Mo should have done himself.
After hearing Xie Wanqing talk about this, Xie Kai put down the brush and ink in his hand, “What did she tell you?”
“Aunt said that Xie Yun is Xianqing’s brother, and Xianqing loves and wants help. Xianqing also promised Aunt, so of course Xie Yun has to take responsibility for his wrongdoings, but if County Prince Liang is really going overboard, Xianqing will also advise you!”
Once Xie Wanqing mentioned this matter, she put down her brush. Looking at how she viewed it, it seemed to be something very important, but Xie Wanqing did not expect it.
Xie Kai did not usually manage his family’s backyard, and as for his children, they were even rarer to see, but today, it was like this, as if they truly valued Xie Wanqing.
“I also heard about this matter, that Xie Yun always looked good on the outside, but never would I have thought that even at such a young age, my Marquis Anyang’s Mansion would not be able to hold him back, I never thought that his mother would actually have the face to stop you!”
When Xie Kai spoke, his tone was not very good, it seemed that the family had offended the Marquis Anyang’s Mansion, so even the normally calm Xie Kai did not like them.
“I understand, but I understand that you shouldn’t act disrespectfully in front of your elders. Xie Kai has already been in the Duke Palaces for quite a while, he must have received a lesson!”
Xie Wanqing’s neither humble nor arrogant appearance, but what she said was even more appropriate and appropriate, causing Xie Kai to praise him. Hearing Xie Wanqing’s words, she nodded continuously, then raised her brush, and said after a long while: “You are a good child, in the future, as long as you meet your aunt on the surface, you will be fine.”
The fact that Xie Kai was able to say such words, astonished Xie Wanqing, this person who was extremely proud of her intelligence must have thought of something, but to be able to say such things in front of Xie Wanqing, was sshe trusting Xie Wanqing or was he just trusting him?
In the end, he agreed, “I understand!” After that, there was no sound from the house anymore, Xie Kai was busy all day, Xie Wanqing practiced for an hour and then returned back to his own house to eat dinner.
After finishing her dinner, it was only for a moment. Xie Wanqing was about to go to the old lady’s room, when Concubine Fang walked in.
What good news could the Concubine Fang possibly have if she came? Xie Wanqing only felt that it was unlucky, what was the point in coming properly? Xie Wanqing did not wish to see this person.
“Aunt, I haven’t seen you in such a long time!” Although he was unhappy, he still didn’t show it on his face. Instead, he rushed forward.
“From the looks of it, I’ve heard that you’ve been going to your father’s side every single day recently. You haven’t caused your father any trouble, have you?” Concubine Fang also happened to pinch Xie Wanqing’s little face intimately.
“Nope, Xianqing is so obedient. Daddy likes to talk to her!” Xie Wanqing said as she pulled Concubine Fang’s hand.
A trace of hostility seeped out of Concubine Fang’s eyes, but it quickly returned to normal. She then pulled Xie Wanqing’s hand and walked up to her position, talking to him.
Speak? Other than trying to surprise Xie Wanqing, what else could the Concubine Fang do?
“Aunt, what’s the point of Aunt saying that she hasn’t done anything bad recently?” Xie Wanqing’s eyes were originally exceptionally clear, but when they landed on Concubine Fang’s body, it actually caused him to tremble.
No matter how strong one’s heart was, they wouldn’t be able to remain still when doing bad things. Even Concubine Fang, who had already poisoned her heart, still felt a little guilty.
He never thought that Xie Wanqing would speak up and even her hand that was holding Xie Wanqing’s hand trembled. Xie Wanqing did this on purpose, to see if this person would be afraid when doing bad things.
As for the reason why they came, Xie Wanqing was also well aware of it. Firstly, how did they manage to sit down when Xie Yun had disappeared for the past few days, and secondly, how could Xie Wanqing frequently enter Xie Kai’s study?
Concubine Fang seemed to have noticed that Xie Wanqing was doing this on purpose, a look of anger flashed past her eyes, but she quickly recovered.
“Didn’t Aunt say that she did the wrong thing, how could she not know that she was the most obedient? Aunt wanted to ask Xie Yun about the matter, and it was all because of you, how is Xie Yun doing now?”
The Concubine Fang sat on the chair, and Xie Wanqing clearly felt that the Concubine Fang had a trace of panic. Those who do evil things would definitely worry about others discovering it, but she never thought that the Concubine Fang would still have a guilty conscience.
“I don’t know either, but if County Prince Liang didn’t say so, I wouldn’t dare to ask, but I’m sure that if County Prince Liang has a sense of propriety, he wouldn’t make things difficult for Xie Yun!”
Xie Wanqing had said that, but the appearance of the Concubine Fang clearly showed that she did not believe what Xie Wanqing had said. Recently, the County Prince Liang had frequently come to find Xie Wanqing, who everyone in the Marquis Anyang’s Mansion knew about.
Only, no one knew what the two of them were doing in the room, Concubine Fang would frequently look through the courtyard window, and sometimes, when the two of them did not have any movement inside the room, it would stay for four to four hours. Concubine Fang felt that maybe Xie Yun had said something, if it was really like that, then Xie Yun would definitely end up doing it as soon as possible.
