Fractious Legitimate Daughter - C186
At this time, Xie Wanqing was inside her house painting, adding a few strokes at one end and a few strokes at the other. The more sshe drew, the more he was interested, and it only took a while for him to finish painting.
Looking at the completed product, she couldn’t help but to reveal a pleased smile. Just as she was enjoying Yue Xin’s performance, she pushed the door open and entered.
“Miss, someone was sent from Master’s house to ask Miss what had happened, why haven’t you been there for a few days?”
Yue Xin’s downcast face could now be considered to be the same as Xie Wanqing’s master and her servant, but what Xie Wanqing did made Yue Xin more and more confused!
Why didn’t Concubine Fang tell Xie Wanqing to go, then Xie Wanqing really wouldn’t go, but Yue Xin couldn’t exactly say bad things about Xie Wanqing’s biological mother, so she could only worry about it. However, the more Yue Xin looked, the more she felt that something was amiss, and this might be another trap set up by the Concubine Fang.
Seeing that Xie Wanqing was falling deeper and deeper into the abyss, she did not say anything to Yue Xin at all, as if she was treating him as an outsider.
Yue Xin wanted to advise him, but to no avail, so she became especially dejected. Xie Wanqing looked up and glanced at Yue Xin, and said indifferently: “Go and tell the person that you’re not in good health these few days, and can’t go see daddy!”
“Miss!” Yue Xin was really anxious to the point of stamping her feet, but Xie Wanqing still remained calm and raised her head to look at Yue Xin, “What’s wrong?”
Yue Xin wanted to say something, but in the end, she still couldn’t say it out loud, “Nothing!” Yue Xin frowned, but she still managed to calm down. She couldn’t help but smile as she watched Yue Xin close the door.
How could Xie Wanqing, who was wholeheartedly towards her master, possibly alienate others? But Yue Xin was also lacking a bit, and she wanted to see if she would do anything after getting close to Yue Xin.
Although Yue Xin was quick-witted, her temperament was lacking and she was a person without thought, if this went on, it would be hard to avoid being secretly harmed, so this was even more of a test for Yue Xin.
What Yue Xin should do, Xie Wanqing was still sent out as usual. For example, to let Yue Xin look at Xie Wanyun’s side, but to make him neither hot nor cold, was enough to make Yue Xin feel like she could not see through Xie Wanqing’s thoughts.
Looking at Yue Xin now, what Xie Wanqing wanted had already been achieved. This girl’s temperament was too calm, so it wouldn’t be a big deal, but beside Xie Wanqing, what was needed was not only a girl who could see the situation clearly, but also a girl who had courage and foresight.
As for Xie Kai’s side, Xie Wanqing could be considered to have won the bet. If Xie Kai knew that the Concubine Fang did not allow Xie Wanqing to get close to him, what kind of consequences would occur?!
Only the female servants in the house would know about the obstacles that Xie Wanqing had caused, and more importantly, Xie Kai should more or less know about them.
Xie Wanqing had long since noticed that Xie Kai had not been to Concubine Fang’s house for a long time. Thinking about it, it was probably because of this matter that caused the suspicion to appear so deeply in Xie Kai’s heart.
In the beginning, it was because Xie Wanqing was a light talker, so even the grievances in her heart could only be endured by herself.
But now, Xie Wanqing was no longer like that. Not only was she favored by the madame, she was also favored by the Madame Ye.
Xie Wanqing no longer had any interest in appreciating the painting, she drew it herself and casually threw it into the basket. If Xie Kai sent people to look for him, wouldn’t that mean Xie Wanyun was undesirable?
All of this was within Xie Wanqing’s grasp. Because of Xie Wanqing’s mischievousness, in her previous life, she seemed to be more obedient to Xie Wanyun, and Xie Kai would frequently look up to him, but in this life, she would thank him. Although Xie Wanqing was lively, she did not lose her cuteness.
In addition, Xie Wanqing and Xie Kai’s interaction was naturally harmonious and peaceful. Suddenly, it was the quiet Xie Wanyun, who was originally worried about Xie Wanqing, and thus, Xie Wanyun helped Xie Wanqing out. However, Xie Kai was even more worried about Xie Wanqing, and thus he finally sent someone over to ask about Xie Wanqing’s situation.
Xie Wanqing was not in a hurry to meet Xie Kai. The plan to capture him was the most commonly used in the Concubine Fang and as Xie Wanqing had heard about how the Concubine Fang fought over a favor every day, she would naturally get used to it and try it out today.
Sure enough, as Xie Wanqing had expected, this response was cold. Xie Kai then sent people to ask the old lady which side of the old lady was the one that Xie Wanqing had been to everyday. As a result, she naturally obtained a good result from Xie Wanqing.
Xie Kai was actually a little doubtful. Xie Wanqing was clearly very good, why did he insist on coming to his side? The last time he came, he was clearly fine.
Xie Kai was not an impatient type of person, and would definitely not get angry just because of such a thing. He only thought that there must be a reason behind Xie Wanqing’s actions, and immediately sent people to call Xie Wanqing.
In less than a day’s time, the servant girl from Xie Kai’s study came to Xie Wanqing’s courtyard twice, and looked around. At that time, Xie Wanqing was having lunch, arranging flowers, and personally enjoying the Plum Blossom.
“Miss, Master is sending you to the study room!” Yue Xin said as she pushed open the door. Xie Wanqing was cold to him, and Yue Xin did not feel well in her heart.
“Got it!” Xie Wanqing had put down the things in her hands, she did not expect Xie Kai to send someone to invite her. Xie Wanqing had originally thought that Xie Kai was just a normal person, but it seems like Xie Wanqing had gained some weight in Xie Kai’s heart!
Xie Wanqing did not expect this effect, but she was in no hurry to do so. Instead, she combed her hair and changed into a set of clean clothes.
She still had to go to the school in the afternoon, so she probably could not say much more than go to Xie Kai’s room. Only then did she go out the door, seeing that Yue Xin was so anxious that she was about to stamp her feet.
However, her expression was still calm and collected. Yue Xin followed behind without stopping, and directly walked into Xie Kai’s house. Along the way, Xie Wanqing went straight to Xie Kai’s house.
“Xianqing greets father!” In the study room, there was only Xie Kai’s stomach, he kept waving the brush, although it was already spring, maybe Xie Kai was afraid, so the room was still warm, causing Xie Wanqing to feel a bit hot.
Without Xie Kai’s instructions, Xie Wanqing did not dare get up, her legs couldn’t help but feel sore, but Xie Kai remained silent, as though there was no one else in the house like Xie Wanqing.
Xie Wanqing was clearly not sick, yet she said that she was. Xie Kai was lying if there was no grudge in her heart. This man never lightly punished her children, but she seemed to be half angered just like that.
Xie Wanqing had already expected that, according to Xie Kai’s personality, although she would also secretly think that she might have other reasons, due to losing face, she would still have to give Xie Wanqing a small punishment.
After just a short while, Xie Wanqing’s legs were already trembling, and even her breathing had become a lot heavier. Other than Xie Wanqing’s breathing, there was no other sound in the room.
“Get up!” After a long while, Xie Kai finally spat out two words, but it was as if Xie Wanqing was pardoned, in her previous life, she had never received any punishments, even when she kneeled at the buddhist hall for an entire day, there were still some.
Xie Wanqing frowned, then struggled to get up, as Xie Kai simply raised his head to take a look.
“I sent someone to your room to ask if you were sick?” Xie Kai looked at Xie Wanqing with an ice-cold gaze.
“She’s not sick, it’s just that …” Xie Wanqing started to sob softly as soon as she said it. Her pen paused for a bit, and finally, her gaze landed on Xie Wanqing’s body.
If she did not care about Xie Wanqing, then it did not matter whether she came or not, she would not send people to ask, and the reason she gave Xie Wanqing a small punishment was because she cared about her daughter, and she lied to herself.
Now that he heard Xie Wanqing crying, Xie Kai could not help but feel a little uncomfortable, his eyes had an additional trace of pity, but his expression still did not change at all.
“But what?” Xie Kai tried his best to appear calm, but in reality, in his heart, he was afraid that the waves were raging.
“It was Concubine Fang who said that Yanqing did not understand the rules. Wanqing would definitely disturb daddy. Daddy, do you dislike Yanqing!?” Xie Wanqing slowly raised her head. There were a few tears on her small, fair face, but under the light of the sun, she seemed crystal clear, becoming more and more conspicuous.
