However, two days later, all the little vendors on the street had almost finished interrogating the servants of Marquis Anyang's Mansion, yet they still could not find a single suspicious person.
No one knew how Xie Huaixing got sick.
But Xie Wanqing always had a faint feeling in her heart. She thought about the kite she sent over two days ago. However, when Xie Huaixing returned that day, he did not let the kite go.
It was truly unbelievable.
On the third day, Xie Wanqing brought along the Mama Feng to visit Xie Huaixing. "Greetings, Second Aunt." She bowed. Madame Huang waved her up and at the moment, all of her thoughts were on Xie Huaixing, how could she have the time to care about Xie Wanqing. Although the doctor's injury was light and would be fully healed in a few days, but she had not woken up in two days, Madame Huang was still worried.
She had been married for so many years, and only Xie Huaixing, her only son, hurt as much as anything. If something were to happen to Xie Huaixing, it would be hard for her to hold on.
Xie Wanqing understood the Madame Huang's motherly heart. Because in her previous life, she was so close to becoming a mother. Now, looking at Madame Huang's exhausted appearance, thinking about how Madame Ye probably spent quite a bit of effort just for her, while she himself always helped others to get married, and eventually died, she couldn't help but feel sorrowful in her heart.
Xie Wanqing stepped forward and looked at Xie Huaixing who was on the bed. The face of the white and tender child from a few days ago was now slightly sallow. He did not know that his mother was dying.
Seeing Xie Huaixing's hand being exposed outside the blanket, the doctor thought that he had forgotten to put it back when he came to check his pulse. Just that, being left outside would cause him to feel cold, so he reached out to grab Xie Huaixing's hand, but just as he was about to put it back, his fingers suddenly stopped.
Xie Wanqing was shocked, her face revealed surprise as she looked at Madame Huang and said: "Second Aunt, come take a look."
Not knowing what she was thinking, Madame Huang went over and grabbed both of their hands to see. Xie Wanqing, on the other hand, was fine, but there were a few wounds on his hands that looked like they were a few days ago. There was a thin scab now.
Xie Huaixing was usually mischievous and everyone around him knew that it was normal for there to be a small wound on his hand. Therefore, no one cared about these wounds. The Madame Huang knew about this as well. She was afraid that Xie Wanqing wouldn't know and even explained it to her in a gentle tone: "She has always been naughty, likes to climb trees, and has these small cuts on her hands."
Ever since the last time, Madame Huang's attitude towards Xie Wanqing had clearly changed. Adding to the fact that she had been visiting Xie Huaixing everyday for the past few days, Madame Huang was grateful to him in her heart. Then she began to be amiable to her.
However, Xie Wanqing's bright eyes looked towards the Madame Huang, and said word by word, "Second Aunt, please forgive me. Earlier, Sunless said that she would give Brother Huaixing a kite, but two days ago, she sent someone to deliver it. But today, our Marquis Anyang's Mansion sent so many people out to investigate, and we found nothing.
Before she could finish her words, Madame Huang's face suddenly changed, as she continued, "On the day that Brother Huaixing returned from school, he did not do anything abnormal, but he suddenly became ill. That kind of thing can only harm someone close to him, or in other words, it is his favorite object, so Second Aunt and the servants did not sense that anything was amiss. His younger brother's skin is tender and tender, so naturally, he would get hurt easily. So, the wound on his hand, whether it was caused by the tree climbing or the bamboo branch being cut, is something that needs to be discussed. I would like to ask the doctor to examine it before I can find out. "
Xie Wanqing's eyes were clear and calm. Madame Huang looked at her, suppressed her suspicions, and sent someone to find a doctor.
The doctor examined it and confirmed that it was a fine thorn in a bamboo stick.
Then, he ordered someone to bring a kite that Xie Wanqing sent over.
There was fury in Madame Huang's eyes, but she did not rage at Xie Wanqing. Last time, because the servant's words had caused Xie Huaixing to lie, and now that Xie Wanqing had gotten sick from the kite Xie Wanqing gifted him, she had implicated Xie Wanqing and Xie Huaixing time and time again. Madame Huang did not believe that such a coincidence would exist. Furthermore, looking at what Xie Wanqing was saying now, she would not be stupid enough to come and harm Xie Huaixing within a few days.
Who exactly was it that plotted against Xie Wanqing and Xie Huaixing?
"Second Aunt, I've already suffered grievances once last time, so it's fine if I suffer it a second time. It's just that, after being involved in Brother Huaixing's affairs twice in a row, I feel really guilty. I don't know who I offended, but I bear such a grudge against you."
As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears.
In the end, she was still a seven year old child. Madame Huang pitied her in her heart, and she also hated the person who plotted against him. She immediately sent someone to report to the madame.
How could the madame sit still when she heard that someone in the mansion dared to harm her grandson? Did he think she was dead?
He then gathered everyone to give a lecture.
When Madame Huang led Xie Wanqing to the main hall, they were not there yet. She pulled Xie Wanqing to stand by the side after greeting the old lady.
After a while, the Madame Ye arrived. Then, the Concubine Fang and Xie Wanyun also came.
Madame Huang told sher everything that had just happened, and after hearing it, he frowned. Before everything was quiet, waves of events occurred again, and she also felt pained for Xie Wanqing to be caught up in it.
Before the old mistress could speak, Concubine Fang had already rushed over to pull Xie Wanqing away. "Sunless, apologize to the Second Madam, if it weren't for you doing that kite, how could such a thing have happened to the Third Young Master?"
It all seemed to be her fault.
Of course Xie Wanqing could not be mistaken, she said with grievance: "The last time was someone else bringing disaster to Sang Qing, and this time it is again, could it be that the dignified young miss of the Marquis Anyang's Mansion is being bullied like this?"
She had clearly pointed out that he definitely could not be blamed for getting married.
Seeing this, Madame Huang was even more worried about Xie Wanqing's situation, she despised Concubine Fang for being weak and useless, and wanted her daughter to apologize no matter what happened. Last time, when Xie Wanqing was punished by the old lady, Concubine Fang did not even plead for mercy, she only kept on admitting her wrongs, and cried that she did not teach her well.
Madame Huang's personality was frank and straightforward, and she had the heart of a loving mother, she then said: "Xinqing had already apologized to me earlier, and if not for her, I'm afraid that we would not even know where that evil object was hidden."
Of course, there was also the possibility that Xie Wanqing had set a trap and exposed it herself, so as to prove her innocence. Looking at how Concubine Fang was, and then looking at the seven-year-old Xie Wanqing, Madame Huang did not feel that this hypothesis was valid. If it was really like that, then Xie Wanqing was not a child.
Xie Wanqing gratefully looked towards Madame Huang.
The old mistress finally opened her mouth, "Alright, why are you so noisy?"
His turbid eyes looked at Concubine Fang and became impatient.
