There was no doubt that the taste of Marquis Anyang's Mansion's dishes wouldn't be bad.
Xie Huaixing was tasting the mooncake during the meal, the old lady thought that it was not bad, and ordered the chef who made the mooncake to be rewarded. He then asked the children how they felt about the taste of the food. At that moment, he felt like a grandmother who doted on her grandchildren.
But other than Xie Huaixing, there was not a single other child on the table that she liked.
It was just that no one else said anything, as they were all willing to accompany her in this scene.
As she was happily eating, the Mama Xin beside the old lady went over and whispered something into her ear. The old lady frowned and looked deeply into Xie Wanqing's eyes.
Here it comes. Xie Wanqing ate the mooncake in her hand as if nothing had happened, pretending that she didn't know anything.
After all, the Old Mistress was the Old Mistress, she was still as steady as Mt. Tai.
After everyone had their fill, the Old Mistress asked Mama Xin to call them in.
It was a little girl. After entering, she knelt in front of the madame and said, "Reporting to the madame, this servant is a servant girl from Second Miss's courtyard. Today, I accidentally bumped into a book in Miss's room …"
"What book?" The old mistress said sternly.
"Yes …" Yes … It's the Spring Palace Map. " The servant girl seemed to throw caution to the wind, her face turning red as she finished her sentence.
The expressions of Xie Kai and the rest who were seated at the side changed, and they looked at Xie Wanqing with complicated eyes.
Naturally, Xie Wanqing could not just sit there and wait for death, she stood up and said: "Grandmother is very perceptive, Qing Xin really doesn't know what this servant is talking about. Even though she was in my courtyard, Zi Tian Hong Tao was also in my courtyard before, and she still framed me and slandered me. As a result, what this maid said was not enough to prove her point. "
Xie Wanqing was only seven years old now, if what the servant said was true, then her entire life would be ruined as she hid in her house to look at the Spring Palace Map. In Marquis Anyang's Mansion, if a young lady from a pavilion did such a thing, she would even lose face for her Marquis Anyang's Mansion.
In her previous life, Xie Wanqing did not attend the family dinner because she was sick, but she had heard that someone had went to the family banquet to tell the old lady that there were obscene books hidden in her house. In the small box beside her bed, there was a small map of the spring at some point in time.
She was convicted, and from then on, Xie Kai and the old lady did not want to see her. Even the Madame Ye looked at her with disappointment.
At that time, she had been burnt into a mess. Even if she wanted to explain, her throat hurt so much that she couldn't speak.
The fact that Xie Wanqing was despised by the people of the Palace, increased the possibility of Xie Wanyun being remembered as the Direct Daughter.
Hence, since her rebirth, Xie Wanqing didn't even need to think to know that the matter was done by the Concubine Fang. Thus, he had always been wary of her.
Right now, Xie Wanqing had already taken out the book inside her chest, so she was a little nervous. Not only that, she would also have to use her own methods to deal with him and return the things that Concubine Fang had done to her bit by bit.
Seeing Xie Wanqing's calm response, the old lady couldn't help but praise her in her heart. Regardless of whether what the little girl said was true or not, Xie Wanqing's performance today was still satisfactory.
"Whether it's true or false, send someone to search it."
"But Grandmother, if you just rely on a little girl to search my house, then all the servants will have to bully me in the future." Xie Wanqing was neither humble nor arrogant.
The old mistress glanced at her. "So you're saying that we should not let it be investigated?" But do you feel guilty? "
These words sounded like a joke, but Xie Wanqing dared not admit it.
It would have to be done, but not just her. Otherwise, how would she be able to establish herself in the house of the Marquis in the future? A dignified young miss of a noble family, yet her luggage had been copied because of a single sentence from a little girl. This was not a pleasant thing to say.
"Of course I have to investigate, it's just that …" She glanced at Xie Wanyun and said: "I'm afraid this will make Big Sis feel wronged."
Xie Wanyun had a face full of doubt, what does that have to do with her? What can I do for you? " she asked.
Xie Wanqing lowered her head and said to his wife: "Why don't you say that I lost something. Coincidentally, I went to look for my sister again yesterday, maybe because I left something there, so I went to look for her in her courtyard."
"Sure." Finally, the old mistress' voice was firm.
With that, he sent the Mama Xin to bring the little girl to Xie Wanyun's courtyard.
Before long, the Mama Xin was back. There was a book in the handkerchief in her hand, which was the exact book that Xie Wanqing had found in the small box last night.
The old mistress flipped through it and immediately frowned. She glared at Xie Wanyun furiously.
She quickly kneeled down and said, "Grandmother, please enlighten me. Your granddaughter doesn't know why that book is in my room. That book is not mine!"
When Xie Wanyun saw the book in Mama Xin's hands, she knew that it was not good. How could she have that book, how could there be that kind of thing, it should be lying in Xie Wanqing's room right now.
Xie Wanyun didn't know, but Xie Wanqing did. How did that book get to Xie Wanyun's room was actually very simple.
This morning, Xie Wanqing had gone to find Xie Wanyun and intentionally lured her to the second room. The reason she had gone there for an entire afternoon was to give Yue Xin some time so that she could find someone to put the things under Xie Wanyun's blanket.
It is not a lie that money can make a fool of itself.
Although Xie Wanyun's courtyard was basically hers, the riches were enough to move one's heart. There was nothing money couldn't buy. Xie Wanqing was well aware of this point, so she gave a lot of wealth to Yue Xin in order to find someone who was willing to do this.
The old lady waved her hand and told the Mama Xin to look for Xie Wanqing's house again, but in the end, she did not find anything.
