It had already been a few days since Xie Wanqing had cleared her grievances, and in the past few days, she had been staying in the courtyard. The servants by her side seemed to have heard the madame's words about protecting her last time. They were no longer lazy and were always diligent and honest. The wet nurse Mama Feng also told Xie Wanqing, "Young miss has finally returned from all the suffering. Now that I have gained the old lady's favor, let's see who would dare disobey me."
Xie Wanqing just quietly read the book without replying.
That day when Xie Huaixing returned, he was scolded by the Madame Huang and was punished to think about it. The servant Attendant did not leave his side and never again escaped from the academy. Thus, Xie Wanqing had never seen him before.
Recalling that she still had the kite that they agreed to give to Xie Huaixing, Xie Wanqing called Hong Tao over and instructed her to send the kite over to him.
Hong Tao already knew about Zi Tian and was sad for a few days. Zi Tian took her place to slander Xie Wanqing. She knew about this, but what could she do about it?
Xie Wanqing had ignored her for a few days, and this was the first time Xie Wanqing called her out to do something after that incident.
Hong Tao was both nervous and surprised. She thought Xie Wanqing would never use her again.
Mama Feng looked at her with loathing: "Miss, why would you need a girl that you don't even know how to protect?"
Xie Wanqing raised her head and looked at Mama Feng, "But Hong Tao knows how to watch kites, all the kites these few years were made for me by Hong Tao. Sir, you are not a saint, so how can you not? Mama Feng will forgive her this time. The words that came out of the child's mouth.
Mama Feng shook her head, glanced at Hong Tao and no longer spoke. She did not understand that those saints were not saints, but as a servant, she would rather let her master be slandered than protect him. It was useless for her to keep such people around. The old lady pitied her because she was a mute and a child of her family. Although Mama Xin was sent to inquire about what happened last time, she did not do anything to Hong Tao. But she did not know that Zi Tian had lied and pretended to be Hong Tao, so Mama Feng did not believe her.
Hong Tao received her orders and returned to her room to grab the kite, then headed towards the second room.
However, they did not expect to meet a heavy rain along the way, and it was getting heavier and heavier. The torrential rain was pouring down in torrents. He had no choice but to go to the pavilion to take shelter from the rain.
He coincidentally met Xie Wanyun and her personal servant, Lv Yi. However, the two of them had brought an umbrella with them.
"Greetings, Eldest Miss." Hong Tao bowed as she greeted Xie Wanyun.
Xie Wanyun looked at the kite in her hand, she finally understood. Ever since she was young, the Concubine Fang had taught her to look at others' faces. Seeing Hong Tao's haggard face and dispirited spirit, she knew in her heart that she had been grieving for Zi Tian for a long time.
"Hong Tao has become more haggard these few days." Xie Wanyun said.
Then, he gestured to Lv Yi who was beside him, "You will deliver the mouth fat I gave you to Hong Tao later on."
Lv Yi nodded in agreement.
"Hong Tao, don't be too sad. Although Zi Tian did not plead for mercy when punished, she is your master after all. With your current look, I'm afraid she would not be happy if she were to see you."
Xie Wanyun advised gently. She did not mention anything about Zi Tian betraying and slandering his master.
Hong Tao was already upset, but no one spoke for a few days. The servants in the courtyard were so frightened by the madame's words that they did not dare to breathe. Every day, they could not wait for the old lady to finish her work. Who cared if she was dumb or not? Usually, only Zi Tian would speak to her. But now that Zi Tian was in trouble, she was on her own.
Lv Yi saw that she was about to cry, and immediately held her hand and patted her hands: "I am also a servant, I know how you feel, even if Zi Tian has done wrong, she is still your blood sister. You have followed Second Miss for so many years without any contributions or hardships, but she helplessly watched as Zi Tian was punished, it is really just …." It's chilling. "
Hong Tao's tears fell when she heard this, and she kneeled down in front of Xie Wanyun and said, "Please save Zi Tian, First Miss." Being sold in a building was not a good place to go. For a daughter's family, it could be said that their lives were worse than death.
Xie Wanyun frowned: "I'm just a young miss who can't step out of the door, how can I save Zi Tian …"
and Lv Yi looked at each other, and the corner of their mouths hooked up into a smile, "Lv Yi, quickly help Hong Tao up."
Lv Yi stepped forward and helped her up. Xie Wanyun's eyes shined brightly as she looked at Hong Tao: "I can't, but I can ask for the assistance of my concubine. On account of how loyal you are, I really can't bear to refuse."
It would be weird if Concubine Fang saved Zi Tian, but she wished for Zi Tian to die earlier.
Xie Wanyun knew about all these, but Hong Tao did not. She really thought that the First Miss wanted to help her save Zi Tian and was so grateful that she wanted to kneel down and express her gratitude, but was stopped by Lv Yi.
Xie Wanyun's objective had already been achieved, so she was not willing to speak anymore. She sent Lv Yi to take an umbrella to send him to the second room while she sat in a pavilion to enjoy the rain.
As for the current Xie Wanqing, she was sitting in front of her desk, holding onto the book in her hands, and would occasionally raise her head to look at the rain outside, and for some reason, she felt an anxiety in her heart, as she did not know where it came from. Maybe she was too sensitive due to her rebirth. Xie Wanqing comforted herself.
Early in the morning on the second day, he received a message: Xie Huaixing is sick, his entire body has a rash.
There was something fishy about this disease.
Yesterday, Xie Huaixing went to school and it was still alright. He had dinner with Madame Huang and got sick early the next morning. The manor had invited a doctor, saying that Xie Huaixing had come across some kind of medicine.
This old man was so angry that he knocked on his walking stick. "Who the hell wants to harm my grandson?!"
Xie Huaixing had always been the old lady's flesh and blood, other people could not bear to touch him, and just a few days ago he had knocked his head out, but now he suddenly became ill, causing the old lady to be so anxious that his mouth started to bubble.
"Investigate!" Find out! Find out that this old one wanted to skin this person alive! "
Madame Huang guarded Xie Huaixing's bed, washing his face in tears every day. The doctor gave Xie Huaixing medicine and asked for his treatment every day. The old lady then ordered all the people that Xie Huaixing had met in the recent days to prepare them, using the same things that he had touched to look through them.
Xie Huaixing was naughty, there were at least twenty people making fun of him in the Academy, even if there were no more than thirty of them. He would climb trees and catch birds, chase cats and dogs, and even if he saw a mouse on his way to the Academy, he would chase after it. Attendant could not even look at him. Not to mention the Sugar Gourd Man Steamed Bun that he saw on the streets, he would buy it every day. If he were to suddenly look into it, where would he start from? The Attendant could only lead the group of people that the butler brought over to interrogate them one by one.
