When Concubine Fang had just finished dinner, a messenger from Attendant came to inform her that everyone was waiting for her. Concubine Fang did not dare delay any longer, and increased her pace, walking with sweat dripping down her face, not daring to make everyone wait any longer.

Seeing Concubine Fang entering the house, Xie Wanqing immediately ran over to his side. Madame Ye suddenly saw Xie Wanqing leave from the side and for some reason, her heart felt empty.

"Aunt, this tricky slave, she actually dared to slander you!" Xie Wanqing pointed to Zi Tian, who was still kneeling on the ground.

Zi Tian continued to kowtow until he even forgot the pain on his forehead, "This servant didn't lie, it really was Concubine Fang. She ordered this servant to testify and accused Second Miss of pushing down Third Young Master. This servant swears to the heavens! "

The Concubine Fang pointed at Zi Tian, she was so angry that she couldn't even speak.

Concubine Fang clenched her teeth and kneeled down as she reported to the old mistress, "Madam, when the matter comes up, the one accompanying Qing Er is not this little girl but her sister, Hong Tao. However, Hong Tao is a mute and only knows sign language. As she spoke, he glared at Zi Tian. "I just didn't expect this girl to …" How did Second Miss and I offend you?

Concubine Fang continued: "I was the one who accidentally broke the token of love between you and your cousin. I told you to take into account your master's reputation, and not to be associated with your cousin again! "It's enough for you to take revenge on me, how much do you have to vent your anger on a little kid like Qing'er!"

Xie Wanqing couldn't help but admire the Concubine Fang's reaction speed and scheming mind. No wonder she lost so miserably in her previous life.

The old mistress' face was rather unsettled. "As an aunt, you can be considered half a master. It's not proper for you to yell and shout at the top of your lungs."

Concubine Fang was stunned, she bowed her head and replied 'Yes'.

"Since he's your slave, you decide how to punish him."

Concubine Fang ground her teeth, "This humble concubine thinks that we should immediately kill them to make an example out of this. However, this is still a life after all. This humble concubine will not bear to see it.

The old lady looked at Concubine Fang, then looked at Zi Tian who was covered in sweat and was shivering uncontrollably, "40 staff, if you're not dead yet, you can be sold in the pavilion."

Zi Tian was unable to say a word of thanks for the old mistress' benevolence, and he finally fainted.

Everyone believed the words of the Concubine Fang, they all believed that Zi Tian was trying to take revenge on her master. Only Xie Wanqing was clear in her heart, in this Palace, there was probably no one who hated and hated her more than the Concubine Fang, but when she said those words, no one believed her. The only thing she could do was to gather evidence and wait for the future.

The Old Mistress sent someone to call Hong Tao over, and called the trustworthy old servant who knew sign language to translate her words one by one. Sure enough, she was speaking the same words as Third Young Master Xie Huaixing.

At this point, the truth of the matter had already been revealed. Although Xie Huaixing had admitted that it was not Xie Wanqing who pushed her, he was still young. His words were fickle and he called Hong Tao over to confront him.

After all, Xie Wanqing's reputation of jostling with her younger brother a few days ago and contradicting her grandmother had already spread throughout the household. Today, her performance had once again entered the eyes of the madame, which was why she was so protective of her.

Xie Wanqing knew that the Old Mistress had good intentions, she wanted a clean and pure reputation, so she blessed the Old Mistress with his body and said: "Thank you Grandmother for your knowledge, but Grandmother's health is important, please do not be angry because of a servant, if you anger her, it will be the fault of the Old Mistress."

The child's voice was young and tender, and his face was filled with worry as he looked towards the madame. When the old mistress thought about how she had wrongly accused Xie Wanqing and even heavily punished him, she felt apologetic in her heart. Seeing that she was being so obedient and sensible now, she could not help but feel relieved in her heart.

Seeing this, Concubine Fang immediately pulled Xie Wanqing and thanked the old lady, and then knelt down: "I was not strict with my servants, and dared to slander the Second Miss of the family. I am guilty, and shall be punished by the old lady."

As he spoke, tears could already be seen in his eyes.

As expected, before the madame could say anything, Xie Kai said, "You have always been soft-hearted. Furthermore, it is not your business to discipline people, so you don't have to blame yourself too much."

This meant that Madame Ye did not manage the inner court properly.

Although the Madame Ye was in the house, from start to finish, other than feeling that Xie Wanqing's actions were unusual and moved her, she was not the least bit disturbed by anyone else's matters. Hearing Xie Kai's words, she could only lower her head and say to the old lady: "It was my fault, I did not restrict my servants well."

His voice was cold and indifferent.

Xie Wanqing knew that the relationship between him and the Madame Ye was not many, and when she reached middle age, she was even more respectful to Xie Kai. How could Xie Wanqing bear it? She took the opportunity to kneel beside the Concubine Fang and said to her wife: "It was because Evening Qing is useless and insensible that she allowed the servants by her side to bully her. Mother has her faults, Aunt was also implicated by me. "As a young man, the servants would occasionally be slow and lazy. However, I don't know how to deal with them …"

Concubine Fang knew how to act and she knew how to do it too. And she was a child.

The meaning behind her words was that the servants around her would often go against their will and would not listen to their master's words.

The old lady naturally understood the meaning behind Xie Wanqing's words, and saw that she was crying pitifully, adding on to that, her performance was not bad, she said: "Don't cry, San-qing, if there are any servants who are disobedient, come and find Grandmother, Grandmother will help you out."

With the madame's words, the servants by Xie Wanqing's side naturally would not dare to lament over it.

Xie Wanqing was reaping benefits, but her tears quickly stopped. She smiled at the old lady: "Thank you grandma."

Xie Wanyun stood by the side with her head lowered, her expression calm, no one knew what she was thinking.

The more Madame Ye looked at Xie Wanqing, the more she felt that something was amiss. She kept thinking that Xie Wanqing seemed like a completely different person today. But she also liked how close Xie Wanqing was to her today.

Xie Wanqing helped Concubine Fang up, and when she saw that the Madame Huang was still angry at Xie Huaixing, he turned her head and ignored him. However, Xie Huaixing was still a child after all. He knew that he had made a mistake and angered his mother, so he didn't dare to go up and act coquettishly.

Seeing that, Xie Wanqing pulled Xie Huaixing's hand, and squatted in front of him and asked: "Huai, from now on, you will not make the mistakes you made today, right?"

"Yes."

"That Brother Huaixing is a good child, he will be a righteous man in the future. Second Aunt and Second Uncle will be proud of him."

Xie Huaixing sneaked a glance at Madame Huang and pouted: "Would mother like it?"

Xie Wanqing mischievously blinked at him before pulling his hand to hold Madame Huang's hand. After all, she was a mother and son, so how could Madame Huang ignore him? Because Xie Huaixing was lying today, Madame Huang did not like Xie Wanqing as her elder. After realizing that it was her son's fault, she felt embarrassed and embarrassed, but of course, she was also angry at Xie Huaixing for lying.

Now that Xie Wanqing had passed him Xie Huaixing's hand, Madame Huang naturally wouldn't stop at the bottom of the stairs. She held Xie Huaixing's hand with one hand and pointed at his forehead with the other: "In the future, if you make another mistake, your father will teach you a lesson!"

Seeing this, Xie Heng could only laugh helplessly, and looked towards the old lady to stop him from bringing Madame Huang and Xie Huaixing back.

After the second room left, the madame also felt tired, so she waved her hand to let them all leave.

Xie Wanyun who had been silent the whole time suddenly spoke out: "Ye Yun has recently learnt a massage method, the most it does is relieve the fatigue, I wonder if it can help Grandmother?"

The Old Mistress waved her hand and the Mama Xin said, "The Old Mistress would like to have some peace and quiet. Eldest Miss can go back." With that, he ignored Xie Wanyun and helped the old lady walk away.

Only Xie Wanyun was left standing there with an ugly expression.

In the end, the current Xie Wanyun was still young and hadn't experienced so much in her previous life. Xie Wanqing saw the glance Mama Xin threw back to support the Old Mistress. Presumably, Xie Wanyun's appearance did not escape her eyes.

Today, she had watched Xie Wanqing win a beautiful battle, not only did she wash away her grievances, but she had also received her grandmother's love and rewards, making it impossible for her to not be jealous. From the very beginning, Xie Wanyun had already known that Xie Wanqing was not her mother's little sister, and thus, the things that happened today made her feel extremely bad.

Therefore, Xie Wanyun immediately put away her expression, walked over and affectionately pulled Xie Wanqing's hand and said to him: "Little sister has wiped away all the grievances, big sister will be happy for you from the bottom of her heart. I was worried for you when you were kneeling at the buddhist hall previously."

Worried about what? Worried that she might die soon?

Xie Wanqing knew that she was putting on an act, but she had no choice but to respond, "Thank you for sister's concern."

When Xie Kai saw the two sisters' friendly relationship, he was relieved, but only thinking about how the old lady had coldly rejected Xie Wanyun just now, he couldn't help but feel his heart ache. He knew that the old lady was partial to her son, but no matter what, the two daughters were still his children. Afraid that she would be hurt by the madame's words, he advised, "Your grandmother is thinking too much, don't be disappointed tonight Yun. Who knows, maybe next time Grandmother will help evening Yun."

Hearing that, Xie Wanyun's face revealed joy, she nodded her head and said respectfully: "If father is free, daughter will beat him on the back to show her filial piety."
