Humans could only grow after experiencing things once. Before, Concubine Fang was still dissatisfied with Xie Wanyun, but now, he was comforted by her growth. As for Xie Wanqing, she would have many ways to punish him in the future.

It's just that the situation was not as good as Concubine Fang had imagined.

On the morning of the second day, Xie Wanqing dressed and paid respects to the old lady. As the old lady grew older, she felt less comfortable and had to read a few Buddhist texts in the buddhist hall every morning.

Xie Wanqing then knelt on the praying mat and listened to the old lady's chanting. She did not make a sound, and only knelt there quietly.

After the old mistress finished reciting, she opened her eyes and saw a small Xie Wanqing kneeling on her left hand side.

Actually, the Old Mistress had already heard the footsteps when she entered the room. She just thought it was Mama Xin and wondered why Mama Xin wasn't waiting for her outside and also knelt down.

Seeing Xie Wanqing put her hands together and kowtowed to the Buddha statue devoutly, although the old lady didn't say it, she was happy inside. At home, only the madame believed in the Buddha, so other than her, there were only Mama Xin s in the Buddhist hall. There was barely anyone else, and even Xie Wanqing was punished the last time she came to the Buddhist hall.

Seeing that Xie Wanqing had come to the buddhist hall herself, the old lady was still a little shocked. She turned her head and asked: "Why is Xi Qing here?"

After Xie Wanqing heard this, she opened her eyes to look into the old lady's eyes and muttered: "Xinqing is not feeling well."

"Oh? What's bothering you? " The old mistress' eyes were full of affection, but also held a hidden edge. A few days ago, Xie Wanqing's performance had exceeded her expectations. Originally, she thought that he was just a cute and useless Daughter of Concubine, but now, she seemed to have misjudged her earlier.

"There are two maids missing from Xianqing's courtyard. Aunt said that she wanted to give me her personal maid, but she wasn't willing to part with someone she used to have with her, and she couldn't do anything about it, so she felt uneasy." She pursed her lips.

"If your servant girl is missing from your yard, just ask your mother to add two more for you." The old lady grabbed the praying mat and wanted to stand up, but Xie Wanqing immediately reached out to help her, but she was not strong enough, so the old lady did not mind, she grabbed onto Xie Wanqing's hands, the child's hands were soft and tender, bringing with it a comfortable warmth.

The Old Mistress suddenly remembered that ever since Xie Wanqing was born, she had never hugged her nor held her hand. She could not help but feel guilty.

Xie Wanqing raised her head and said obediently, "But Aunt said to me to not appear in front of Mother, or Mother will be unhappy."

Hearing this, the old lady paused, she caressed Xie Wanqing's head and said: "That can't be, you are your mother's child, how can she not be happy to see you?"

It seemed that the Madame Ye was too docile, and now, the Aunt was probably planning something else.

Xie Wanqing held the old lady's hand and walked out of the buddhist hall. Mama Xin at the door couldn't help but be shocked. The madame had always doted on the young master at home and had never cared about the girls. Why was it that she treated Third Miss differently now?

Xie Wanqing was well-behaved and began to chat with the old lady. The old lady asked her about the Concubine Fang indirectly, while Xie Wanqing talked about everything that was good for him. If Xie Wanqing had said something bad about the Concubine Fang, the Old Mistress would not believe him. However, if she kept praising the Concubine Fang and thought that she was good for nothing, the Old Mistress would definitely suspect him. After all, there was no one good in the world.

After asking her question, the old lady left Xie Wanqing to have breakfast with her. Then he let her go back.

Xie Wanqing left the old mistress' courtyard and did not return. Instead, she turned and headed towards the Madame Ye.

After seeing the Madame Ye, she first obediently greeted them, and then mentioned the two maids who were missing from the courtyard.

Madame Ye didn't know what was going on, but the moment she saw Xie Wanqing, she felt so happy that she couldn't help but want to love him a little more. When she was young, he would even reach out for her to hug. All these years, she had only seen her and bowed from a distance, calling her mother indifferently.

Now that Xie Wanqing took the initiative to look for her, the Madame Ye was very happy. She pulled her hand and sat down to chat, asking her about what they had eaten yesterday, whether there was any shortage of clothes, and what chapter had they read.

Xie Wanqing had died with hatred in her previous life, so the person she cared the most about was her mother, Madame Ye. Although she had seen Madame Ye a few times after her rebirth, it was not good for her to get close with him in front of so many people in the Middle Palace. After seeing him today, she couldn't help but want to say everything, wanted to tell her that she was her own daughter, and even wanted to tell her mother about her grievances. But she knew that she could not, and it was not the time yet. Hence, she forced herself to calm down and listen to Madame Ye.

After sitting at Madame Ye's place for a while, Xie Wanqing took her leave. If she continued to stay, it would arouse the Concubine Fang's suspicions.

Madame Ye could not keep her, so she sent the servant Yue Xin who was beside her and a new servant girl Xiao Nian to give her. Xie Wanqing had experienced two plots before, and Madame Ye was worried for her. Yue Xin was one of her people, so if anything were to happen to Xie Wanqing after she was sent over, she would know in time. If there were some disobedient servants by Xie Wanqing's side, Yue Xin would be able to tell her.

Xie Wanqing took the people and returned.

Shortly after lunch, Yan Tao and Hong Yu arrived.

Xie Wanqing innocently looked at them and said: "Mother has already arranged a maid for me. You two are my concubines' personal maidservants, it's better if you go back and serve me."

The two of them looked at Yue Xin who was standing behind Xie Wanqing with contempt in their hearts. They were merely servants working by the side of Madame Ye, and they were the personal maids to the aunt. Furthermore, the aunt was Xie Wanqing's biological mother, yet Xie Wanqing did not know what was good for him. Originally, the two of them did not want to serve a seven-year-old child, so after hearing Xie Wanqing's words, they turned around and went back.

When Concubine Fang heard the two's report, he did not say anything and let them go.

With a raise of her hand, she called over the servants, and told her to investigate Xie Wanqing's whereabouts today. When she heard that Xie Wanqing had went into the Madame Ye's room, her expression immediately turned cold, and waved his servants out.

Madame Ye was her wife, there was no reason for her to send the maidservants back. There was no way to place all the people from the Concubine Fang in there anymore, but she was not in a rush. Back then, she could change all of Xie Wanqing's people into her own, but now, she could too. Back then, when Xie Wanqing was young, Madame Ye had found her a wet nurse. Even after so many years, she still held the position at Xie Wanqing's side. It was fine for Concubine Fang to think about an old woman, but he didn't care about her.

The following two times, Xie Wanqing was able to cleanly pull herself out of the trap. If one were to say that it was Xie Wanqing's own idea, the Concubine Fang would definitely not believe it.

The Concubine Fang was the clearest about Xie Wanqing, and the only person by Xie Wanqing's side that could help her was the Mama Feng.
