Fractious Legitimate Daughter - C189
Concubine Fang and Xie Kai then chatted for a bit longer before extinguishing two more lanterns. The interior of the house became even more blurry, and after that, she grabbed Xie Kai’s hand and started to bathe Xie Kai.
When the love between husband and concubine is good, when the red candle is lit, the night on the bed will be filled with phoenixes. Xie Kai had probably not been to his wife’s room for a long time, so that night was especially fierce.
Xie Wanqing was still awake, trying to please the elders in the house, to take care of her homework in the academy was really hard work.
Even the servants in the courtyard had already rested, only Yue Xin was by her side. Seeing Xie Wanqing yawning, just as she was about to advise Xie Wanqing to rest, a faint sound came from outside. It sounded like wind blowing and grass rustling, but it did not sound like it.
“What’s that sound outside?” Xie Wanqing did not know, but when she heard him, she immediately understood, and her face flushed red even more.
Miss, today I saw Master going to Concubine Fang’s house, the voice was most likely coming from Concubine Fang’s side! Only then did Xie Wanqing understand and continued to read the book, cursing inwardly that she really had no shame.
But Xie Wanqing was not annoyed, Xie Kai had been planning to go to Concubine Fang’s room recently, and was curious about the method Concubine Fang used to prevent Xie Kai from going, since he was truly capable.
The faint movement did not stop until deep into the night. Xie Wanqing also did not fall asleep until that hour.
Early morning of the second day, Xie Wanqing woke up early in the morning to pay respects to the old lady. When she saw that the Concubine Fang was sending him off, she did not know what to do, and did not know what she was going to do. In truth, it was only to wake up early in the morning.
Xie Wanqing could not help but snort disdainfully, but when she saw where it made sense to not greet him, even if Xie Kai had his back facing him, Xie Wanqing still obediently went forward to greet him.
Originally, Concubine Fang was helping Xie Kai tidy his collar. Perhaps Xie Kai also felt that he did not look good towards a child, and thus, when he saw Xie Wanqing, he intentionally avoided Concubine Fang’s hands.
Xie Wanqing only pretended not to see it. Although it was just at a young age, Xie Wanqing still understood the principle of “do not treat me impolitely”. Moreover, if she were to take an extra look at the gossip at this point of time, it would only make Xie Kai unhappy.
“Is Xianqing going to school?” Xie Kai laughed somewhat embarrassedly. Seeing that Xie Wanqing seemed to look to be well-behaved, the awkwardness in her heart also lessened by twenty percent.
“I’ll pay my respects to Grandmother first, then I’ll go to the academy!” Xie Wanqing lowered her head and said softly.
“Then go quickly!” Xie Kai laughed and said, that kind smile, had never happened before, and when the Concubine Fang looked at him, it was especially dazzling.
“Daddy, be careful when you go to the imperial court!” As she spoke, Xie Wanqing’s small hands helped to straighten the sleeves of Xie Kai’s court uniform, which seemed to have become a lot more neat and tidy.
Although it was just a small action, it was more than enough to show Concubine Fang.
“Alright!” Xie Kai agreed, he did not even bid farewell to the Concubine Fang as usual and directly left, looking so far away, he only had Xie Wanqing in her eyes.
Xie Wanqing turned her head to look at Xie Kai as sshe left, and continued to send him off respectfully with his body. Until Xie Kai was long gone, Xie Wanqing didn’t even pay any attention to Concubine Fang as he stood up and prepared to leave.
On the other hand, Concubine Fang stopped Xie Wanqing. That day, when they went to Xie Wanqing’s room, Xie Wanqing did not manage to accomplish even one thing that she had instructed him to do.
Since there was no news of Xie Yun’s death in the County Prince Liang Palace, Xie Wanqing was like a fish back in water in front of Xie Kai. It was said that not only did she bribe Xie Kai, even the servants who specially cleaned up the study were on extremely good terms with him.
Concubine Fang was curious, exactly what kind of magic power was on Xie Wanqing’s body. How come it was the person she was born with who was forced into the study with great difficulty, and was even persuaded by Xie Kai.
“It’s sunset!” The Concubine Fang couldn’t care so much, she directly called out to Xie Wanqing.
“Aunt, what’s the matter? Evening is going to school!” He turned around with a puzzled expression on his face.
“Do you still remember what the aunt told you earlier?” Concubine Fang looked like a loving mother.
“I remember, that’s why I went to ask my father. He said that I don’t hate her, and asked me to come to his study often!”
Although Xie Wanqing’s words were spoken beautifully, there wasn’t the slightest hint of a smile on her face, and the expression on her originally young and tender face became increasingly cold and distant.
“If daddy doesn’t hate you, then go often, but the matter with Xie Yun can’t be delayed!” What Concubine Fang was most worried about was still Xie Yun’s unreliable mouth. If he really said something, wouldn’t that mean that his thousand years of hard work would come to an end?
“Xie Yun is Xianqing’s elder brother, Xianqing shouldn’t be harming him like this, furthermore, Xianqing and Yuqi have already discussed it with each other, County Prince Liang’s meaning is that we should just teach Xie Yun a lesson!”
The left and right Concubine Fang didn’t know where Xie Yun was imprisoned, they didn’t want to see the Marquis Anyang’s Mansion or the guards in the Duke Palaces. All of the guards were strong and strong, and there was no way they would slack off or play tricks, not even one of the assassins was alive.
Speaking of this matter, Xie Wanqing didn’t quite understand. Concubine Fang was always in the manor, it would be hard to go out on a trip, so when would she collude with assassins?
With everything at stake, Xie Wanqing was really busy, it was just a thought, there was no time to think about it anymore.
Seeing that the Concubine Fang was about to speak,
“It will be too late for Xianqing to go to school. I’m afraid she will be punished by Teacher. She will leave first!”
Xie Wanqing then slipped away like a wisp of smoke.
Concubine Fang’s voice came from behind, “Child, you …”
However, Xie Wanqing did not hear it clearly. In the past, they had to follow the Concubine Fang and do everything they wanted to do secretly, and that was because the Concubine Fang and Xie Wanqing were mother and daughter, thus causing both of them to suffer losses. However, nowadays, people with discerning eyes could tell that the Concubine Fang did not treat her two daughters the same, so Xie Wanqing naturally, did not need to spend as much effort as in the past.
It would be better to let the Concubine Fang reveal some more secrets. Although she was still confused about the change in heirs, Xie Wanqing believed that as long as she continued the investigation, there would definitely be traces left behind. At the end of the day, when the truth was revealed, everyone would not be too shocked.
“Master is so good to the Concubine Fang, is Miss not worried?” Xie Wanqing slipped away before slowing down, and asked Xie Wanqing who was standing beside him.
“What do I have to worry about? The one who should worry about me is her! Seeing how much father loves me!” He answered.
After a while, he seemed to remember something,
“Oh right, how is Han Hao?”
has already removed the small wound on his leg, and it’s still thanks to Yue Er promptly asking for a doctor, so we managed it in time. The scar that was left behind was not very obvious, it’s just that there was a big wound on his leg, the doctor said that it will probably take a year or so!
“En, his injuries have been severe for a hundred days, furthermore he is so serious, make Yue Er keep an eye on him, and don’t let him do anything, for the past few days I have been very busy, I don’t have time to see him!”
Yue Xin agreed, and then walked to the old lady’s room. Xie Wanqing greeted the old lady like usual, and in the next few days, she would throw her in front of the old lady, causing her to feel cold in her heart, but still caught a good look at her, although she was always indifferent, but it was clear that she did not hate Xie Wanqing at all.
“I heard you used to go to your father’s place often a few days ago?”
“Yes, I was worried about my father, so I went to his house. He also said that he wanted me to go there often!”
“You are considerate. Other than an old woman like me, you can still think of your father. Don’t disturb him when he is busy, but since you are going often, I think that you should like him. You should accompany him often!”
“Yes!” Xie Wanqing immediately agreed with glee. Since the old mistress had already spoken, no one would dare to stop her in the future.
In truth, the Old Mistress only cared about his son, but Xie Kai could not find the time to pay respects to the Old Mistress. Furthermore, he knew that Xie Wanqing was a well-mannered person, so the Old Mistress could more or less feel more at ease with his company.
