"Mother, the servants in the yard have framed their masters time and time again. I'm afraid they have a bad temper. Why don't we change one of them?" Madame Ye suddenly said.

In less than two months, Xie Wanqing had already been framed three times, which truly made her worry. Adding to the things that Yue Xin had gifted her the last time, it made Madame Ye even more afraid, afraid that she would leave her without paying attention, yet she could not find out who drugged him. Thus, she thought that she might as well use this opportunity to replace all of the servants.

This way, not only would Xie Wanqing's safety be guaranteed, it would also make it easier for her to carefully investigate those people. Otherwise, it would not be convenient for her to send people to investigate since the other party was hiding in Concubine Fang's courtyard.

When the old mistress heard this, she felt that it was indeed logical. Her Marquis Anyang's Mansion was also unable to accommodate those servants who had ill intentions, thus she quickly agreed to Madame Ye's words.

With the Mid-Autumn Family's feast disturbed by these matters, the madame was tired out. She dismissed the guests and went back to rest.

Xie Wanqing thanked the Madame Ye: "Thank you, mother."

Madame Ye only felt joy in her heart when she saw this. She pulled her hand and said, "Since you and I are mother and daughter, then there is no need to thank me. When I get back, I'll go pick an honest and hardworking servant for you to come over. If they do anything bad in the future, you just have to teach them a lesson.

Xie Wanqing nodded in agreement.

Xie Kai rubbed her head and said: "It's time for Xiqing to learn how to control people." What Xie Wanyun had done today could not be avoided in the future. As a young miss, he actually didn't even know that there were servants' things in the house.

Xie Kai did not say these, although he felt that Xie Wanyun was not doing well because of what happened today, he was not a sarcastic and unkind person. Adding that Xie Wanyun was her eldest daughter, she would normally love her a bit, so naturally, she would not say anything too unpleasant right now.

Hearing this, Xie Wanyun's heart hurt, but she still had to admit her mistake, "It's only Yun Yun's fault, little sister, do not learn from me."

Xie Kai had always doted on her because of her understanding and painstaking work, but now he had placed his love on Xie Wanqing instead. This was something that Xie Wanyun found hard to accept.

The Countess thought that she was a Daughter of Concubine that could be traded, and her father also suddenly treated her coldly. In an instant, Xie Wanyun suffered two blows, causing him to feel extremely uncomfortable.

If not for her existence, the position of the Direct Daughter would naturally have belonged to Xie Wanyun. If not for her, the Concubine Fang would not have used today's plan, and would not have implicated Xie Wanyun, causing him to treat her coldly.

No matter how it was calculated, this debt should be borne by Xie Wanqing.

The crowd scattered back to their own courtyards.

Very quickly, the sound of things being smashed could be heard from Xie Wanyun's house, intermixed with the wails and pleas of maids.

"Please spare my life, Eldest Miss. This servant really doesn't know why that thing would appear in the room."

"Then don't you know how to think about it now?" Xie Wanyun looked at the servant on the ground in disgust.

The maid was supposed to clean up the room, but when the Spring Palace Map appeared on her bed, Xie Wanqing thought that it was due to the maid's dereliction of duty. Before, she hadn't realized this, but now, she felt that the maids around her were all useless things, without a single ounce of discernment.

Lv Yi carefully passed over the tea: "Please calm your anger Miss, don't ruin your body."

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Then, he took Lv Yi's finger and smashed the teacup down. The teacup fell on the maid's face, and the remnants of the tea flew all over the place. The boiling tea water inside was all poured onto her face, making the maid scream out loud from the heat.

The ear-piercing and sharp female voice made Xie Wanyun even more agitated, seeing that she was about to get angry again, Lv Yi quickly used a handkerchief to cover the servant girl's mouth, and shouted at Attendant to drag her out.

"Miss, do not be angry over these useless servants, this matter still needs to be investigated slowly. When Concubine Fang comes over later, Miss will need to discuss it properly with Aunt." She advised while gently patting Xie Wanyun's back to ease her anger.

Xie Wanyun heard and raised her eyebrows, "Discussing it with Aunt? What did the man in her hand do today? It's more than enough! "

In today's two attempts at framing in the Concubine Fang, none of them were successful, and they had even implicated her. When Xie Wanyun thought about this, he felt a dull feeling in her heart.

Previously, the Concubine Fang had comforted her and told her not to be impatient. Even though Xie Wanqing had made a name for herself in the Great Games, she still did not make a move against him when she returned.

It was only because the Concubine Fang had told her to wait patiently for the middle of autumn, and told her to make it so that Xie Wanqing would not be able to turn over her body. But the result?

They clearly said that Xie Wanqing would not be able to stand the heat today, but she did it well in the end. She clearly said that she had hidden the Spring Palace Map in Xie Wanqing's house, but in the end, he had mysteriously appeared in her courtyard, leaving Xie Wanyun with no way to defend herself.

If she had not said that Chun Gong Tu was supposed to be in Xie Wanqing's courtyard, Xie Wanyun would not have believed him.

She even suspected that Xie Wanqing was the one who followed through with the plan and purposely framed her. However, like the madame, she soon dismissed the idea. On the surface, she was the older sister of Xie Wanqing's mother, so there was no reason for the other party to harm her in such a way.

Furthermore, Xie Wanqing even brought her to the Second Room this afternoon, probably because she took the words of the Concubine Fang into the ears of them. From the looks of it, Xie Wanqing was still in their control.

Then it could only be someone at Xie Wanqing's side. That person had seen through the scheme of the Concubine Fang and had even moved the thing that harmed people into her house.

Just who was it?

After thinking about it, Xie Wanyun recalled everyone around him.

After a while, the servant girl reported that Concubine Fang was here.

Xie Wanyun sat on the chair and did not stand up to greet him. Instead, she gave Lv Yi a meaningful glance.

Lv Yi walked to the door and invited the person in, and served them tea.

Concubine Fang sat down beside Xie Wanyun, took a sip of tea, and then said: "This time it's an aunt's mistake." She did not know where Xie Wanqing's helpers had come from, and had disrupted their plans time and time again.

Xie Wanyun's eyelids did not move at all as she only caressed her fingers and said, "It looks like, there's a time when Aunt is unsuitable for servants as well."

Concubine Fang knew that her training today had caused her to be depressed, so she wasn't angry at her words. She only smiled and said: "Since Xie Wanqing has helpers, then we'll help him..."

She hadn't finished speaking, but Xie Wanyun could naturally understand the deep meaning in her eyes.

"Don't let anything go wrong and you'll drag me into it."

Concubine Fang took a sip of tea and calmly replied: "Don't worry, there won't be a next time round with today's matter."

Since Xie Wanqing had her own pair of wings, then she would cut them off. She wanted to see how Xie Wanqing could still escape from her grasp.
