Just as they were talking, another group of guests came forward, led by Chen Du's mother, Mrs. Chen. With a glance, she saw Sixth Miss in front of Xie Jingxi.

The Mrs. Chen was invited by Xie Jingxi herself, and even the Ministry Feng was present. Once the Mrs. Chen said this, everyone looked over at the Sixth Miss.

Sixth Miss was suddenly looked at by so many people and felt slightly embarrassed. However, because Xie Jingxi was here, she thought that she shouldn't embarrass Third Sister, so she said generously, "I'm Xie Jinglin, this is my Big Sister Third Sister."

Xie Jingxi looked at her with praise, then said to Mrs. Chen: "It's my sixth sister, my name is Mrs. Chen."

The Mrs. Chen seemed to be very interested in the Sixth Miss, she walked forward and looked, "I say, your temperament looks a little familiar, but you look somewhat similar to your Big Sister Third Sister. How old are you this year?"

"Not yet fourteen."

"Oh, he's still young. If he were to continue for a few more years, he might even be out and out."

Xie Jingxi laughed and said, "Let's not talk about other things with my sixth sister, she's much more sensible than me. Now, she's acting on behalf of us in serving the old ladies obediently."

"That's not bad. Your Old Madem is a capable person, and the children they teach are all good."

The Mrs. Chen and the other wives crowded around the Sixth Miss to ask questions, so Xie Jingxi tried to get them to interact more. Fortunately, the Sixth Miss was still young, and was not in a rush.

When it was the right time to do so, Eldest Miss was carried out. The danger of her fever last night was already great in the morning.

"Sister, you're so handsome. In a few years, you'll have added another beauty to the city." The Lady Li was discussing with the Mrs. Chen, and many of her wives followed along, "Who knows, in the future, who knows how many people will come to steal from us."

Xie Jingqi became more pleased after hearing this, and started to giggle at the Eldest Miss as if she was offering a treasure.

Another lady said, "It's also because my parents are good-looking, I can't miss any of them. The Elder Official Xie girls are really beautiful, the Marquis Mansion taking up two of them, it's really a pair of good things."

The Lady Xu said a few words of courtesy, "These few girls in the family, eldest brother and second brother followed me, just like a normal person. Fortunately, this granddaughter of mine is more like her father."

The Lady Xu was also really modest, just by listening to these words, she was able to pull the Third Miss out. It was then that everyone realized that the Xie Family family was standing apart from each other, and had a faint story to tell them.

The Marquis said at this time, "The auspicious hour has arrived. It's time for Big Sis to capture Zhou."

Marquis ordered people to bring up the table. On the table, many things were placed, ranging from ink, paper, paper, jade, swords, all of them were present. When Eldest Miss climbed up, her entire body was dazzled.

Ink, brush, paper, embroidery, needle, thread, etc. Ordinary girls would need to grab Zhou, and as for the Abacus, swords, and the like, they were all added in after everyone's opinions were gathered, such as the sword and blade, one could tell that it was Gu Wan's work, while the Abacus was the intention of the Grandma Dagu, as for her mother, she added in as much as Qing Shui's jewelry, as though she was determined to prove that her sister would definitely have a rich life in the future.

Eldest Miss crawled over there and circled around a few times, not knowing what to grab. Her black eyes were rolling around, touching this and that, almost causing her own mother to be in a bad mood, and wishing that she could grab a silver hairpin and put it in her hands.

Marquis had even placed a treasure imprint on it, and it was unknown whether he had placed all of his dead big brother's hopes on Eldest Miss. As long as he could support his Marquis Mansion in the future, it wouldn't affect boys and girls at all, but it was clear that Eldest Miss wasn't interested in that thing, and didn't even look at it.

Among them were her mother and Lady Zeng's jade bangle, which she grabbed and left behind saliva. Maybe it was because of the familiar smell that she grabbed onto a jade bangle and did not let go, her small hands waving as she giggled, that meaning, I want it.

The Lady Zeng's bracelet was not an ordinary item, the good stuff that was passed down from her ancestors was much better than her own, her family's Eldest Miss had good eyesight.

did not say anything, and only ordered his men to take the things away. Fortunately, the things that Eldest Miss had chosen were not bad, as girls, with their lives of wealth, they might even be able to enter the palace to become imperial consort s.

Seeing that she liked it back then, she had wanted to pass it on to Eldest Miss. Now it was a good opportunity, "My granddaughter had good eyes, and that was something my grandmother passed on to me. She couldn't even bear to pass it on to Third Mother, so she gave it to Eldest Miss directly."

Gu Wan went to the Crown Prince early in the morning and came back only after it was almost noon. Coincidentally, Eldest Miss had just finished capturing him, so she was a little regretful, "Sigh, this niece of mine won't come with me."

Gu Wan was disguised as the Gu family's Fourth Young Master and was dressed in men's attire. No one noticed anything amiss, and asked where Third Mother went, saying that she went to her grandfather's house in the south a few days ago.

Hearing her words, Xie Jingxi ridiculed her, "Eldest Miss is a young lady from a noble family, just like her Fourth Uncle who was practicing his blade and sword, the houses in the Marquis Mansion are enough to make you two mad."

"Sister-in-law, I'm not going to listen to you when you say that. It's not good anywhere like me. I'm a good person, and I think it's good to be a righteous female chivalrous hero."

Gu Heng heard and answered: "As long as you don't act so shamelessly, I will be satisfied."

"Haha …"

After a while, Xie Jingwan was still sitting down to eat. She was just about to sit down and take a rest when she saw a girl running over in a flurry from in front of Big Sis. Her heart skipped a beat.

"Second young mistress …" That little girl even had a sobbing tone. With her sudden appearance, the joyous crowd immediately quietened down. They all cast puzzled gazes at her.

"What is this panic, and why is the Eldest Miss getting hot again? Then let's hurry up and invite the Imperial Physician Pei over. "

Having the experience from last night, Xie Jingqi was a little slow, and even complained about the girl's great fuss about not having any interest in him.

"No, that's not it. Eldest Miss doesn't seem to be having a fever. Eldest Miss seems to be sleeping, and I can't wake you up no matter what. You should go take a look …"

This girl was speaking incoherently. What did she mean by sleeping and not waking up? Wouldn't that mean …

Xie Jingxi suddenly reacted, "Quickly go and ask for Imperial Physician Pei!"

Seeing Xie Jingxi like that, she suddenly thought of something, and ran back into the house, Xie Jingqi only had time to react before following behind. The chopsticks in front of him were also pulled to the floor and smashed into pieces, the clear and melodious voice was filled with unknown energy, no one had time to drink or eat, the lively scene immediately quieted down.

Marquis stood up and said: "Everyone, I'm sorry. Eldest Miss still hasn't recovered from her illness last night.

Everyone would look at each other and find reasons to take their leave. Once the two or three hundred people left, the Marquis Mansion Courtyard suddenly became very empty.

By the time Imperial Physician Pei arrived, it was already too late. Xie Jingxi knew that every second counted, and pushed her way through the crowd. With a glance, she saw Gu Heng, who seemed to have lost his soul, squatting beside Eldest Miss's bed, as though he was petrified. Xie Jingxi's heart sank to the bottom as her trembling hands probed the Eldest Miss's meridians. In her heart, a feeling of despair and fear suddenly rose. Why did she look around but the Eldest Miss was still gone?

If there were no tricks, then it would be like a ghost. Xie Jingxi suddenly started to feel angry, what kind of enmity couldn't be resolved on the surface, it had to be done in such a shameful way to harm a baby girl, what was even more hateful, was that she could not grab hold of that person's weakness at all.

"Pah!" A crisp slap broke the stagnant atmosphere in the room. It was like a sluice flood, and the sound of crying came surging in like a tide.

This slap was from Lady Xu, causing Xie Jingxi's mind to go blank for a moment. She didn't understand why Lady Xu would hit her.

"It's you, isn't it!" Xie Jingqi angrily glared as she pointed at Xie Jingxi, "You must have poisoned our Eldest Miss, right?! Our Eldest Miss has always been fine, why is it that a single capture banquet will cause trouble? The food and drinks are all arranged by you, other than you, who else could it be! "

Xie Jingxi was really speechless. How could they suspect her? One was their own biological mother, and the other was their own blood relative, so in their eyes, was she such a person?

"Oh no, Madam has fainted!"

On the other side, Lady Zeng suddenly fainted and was carried out by the servant girls. The whole room was in an uproar as they shouted for Imperial Physician to come over while criticizing and cursing at the same time.

Lady Xu looked at Xie Jingxi like she was looking at a thief, "I should have seen that you are a cold and frail person, you're blaming me for liking your big sister Second Miss, blaming me for not giving you the dowry, if you're so angry at us, why did you harm our Eldest Miss!"

Gu Wan came over and stopped Lady Xu from slapping him again, "Have you investigated the situation clearly? You all can only blame your own people. Sister-in-law, what reason do you have to harm Eldest Miss? With such a large Marquis Mansion, could she be the only one who would have the chance to make a move? "

Xie Jingxi has long hated me for doing this, and now that she is the wife of the Patriarch, if she is too ambitious, she can do whatever she wants, and if she were to harm the heirs of our second branch, wouldn't it give her a chance to do so? "
