Calculating things this way, there was not a single person in Xie Wanqing's courtyard that could assume the responsibility of disciplining these servants. If she changed her personality too much, it would be easy for the Concubine Fang to suspect her, and right now, she did not have enough evidence or strength to fight against the other party. If the Concubine Fang found out that she knew the truth, she might not even be able to live to grow up.

Now that the Madame Ye was doing this, to Xie Wanqing, it was as good as coal in a snowstorm. It would be hard to not be happy.

Concubine Fang originally wanted to say something, but unexpectedly, she made a decision. Although she still had something to say, she didn't dare to say it, and only pursed her lips.

Seeing that she was there, the Madame Ye did not linger around to chat with Xie Wanqing, so he got up and left.

"Is Aunt unhappy?" Xie Wanqing turned to ask Madame Ye after sending her off.

Concubine Fang had originally lowered her eyes, but when she heard Xie Wanqing's question, she gently lifted her eyelids to look at him. Currently, her eyes did not have a shred of care and love, nor was there her usual gentleness and smile. A chill went down one's spine when they saw this.

"What happened to Aunt?" Xie Wanqing looked at her innocently, his childish eyes did not seem afraid at all, instead, they were filled with curiosity.

After a few breaths of time, Concubine Fang suddenly smiled, she looked gentle and petty again, "Aunt is tired, let's go back and rest first." Then she went out.

Although Xie Wanqing lived in the same place as the Concubine Fang, she lived in a small courtyard that was embedded in the courtyard of the Concubine Fang.

As a result, Xie Wanqing watched her back as she walked out of the small courtyard door before turning around and returning to her room.

The Concubine Fang was already suspicious.

Ever since Xie Wanqing had been reborn, she had safely avoided every one of her plots against her. As long as Concubine Fang wasn't stupid, she would have discovered that something was amiss.

The look in Concubine Fang's eyes just now was a test for her. Fortunately, although Xie Wanqing was shocked at the time, her expression did not change at all. She had temporarily stabilized the Concubine Fang, but she couldn't hide it for a while. There would be a day when she would lose all decorum with the Concubine Fang, and she wouldn't always be at her side.

But the gap between the two was too wide, even though Xie Wanqing was a Second Miss, she was still a Daughter of Concubine, with no power or influence. There was no one on hand, no money to do anything. And Concubine Fang had been in the Marquis Anyang's Mansion for many years, accumulating an unknown amount of human network eyes and ears.

Xie Wanqing felt that what she lacked the most right now was money. She did not have the money to recruit spies, since the last time she bought a maid to put the Spring Palace Map in Xie Wanyun's room, she could see the importance of money.

However, how to earn money had become her first problem.

Xie Wanqing was still worrying about money, but she did not know that the Shouxi School had already started an intense discussion about her. Xie Huaixing and Xie Huaijin were extremely anxious when they were stopped by someone.

Xie Huaixing was still alright, but for anyone who asked him about Xie Wanqing, he would proudly say something so extravagant. It was a good thing that they were all from the same academy. Everyone knew that he had a very good temper and loved to joke around, so they did not take his words too seriously. The group of people burst into laughter, but could not bring it up.

Xie Huaijin was different, he did not talk much during normal times. Whenever he had time, he would always be reading, and now, people had caught him asking about Xie Wanqing. The key was that he basically did not have any impression of Xie Wanqing, he only remembered that she was a Daughter of Concubine in the Palace, so she could not say a single word. They had all told those people that they were not close with Xie Wanqing, but they were still unable to get rid of him.

And all of this was started with a single sentence from Du Fa.

It had to start a few days ago.

Although it had only been half a month since the Clairvoyant, the identity of the Dharma had undergone a tremendous change. Previously, he was just a personal friend of Shen Yuan, a monk who loved to roam the world. Although the people from Shouxi Academy respected him when they saw this, they still looked at Shen Yuan with respect. As they chatted, they also said, "Since you are Mister Shen Yuan's friend, you must be a dragon among men.

But now it was different.

Du Fa followed Shen Yuan to see the emperor, obtained the Sacred Heart, and with a leap, was bestowed the title of State Protector. He even gave a temple at the outskirts of the capital.

Now, everyone knew that the Great Zhou Empire had an additional Heavenly Imperial Protector, and those who came to curry favor with Du Fa were all rushing over to look for him.

Shen Yuan looked at the servants outside his courtyard carrying gifts, and grumpily said: "Look at the trouble you have caused." Originally, there were many people who came to look for Shen Yuan, but his personality was light, until now, he had no power nor influence, and he did not seek for fame and fortune.

He never thought that Du Fa would provoke so many people for him again.

Du Fa did not mind in the slightest: "Just ignore them. what you did to them before, and now you do it to them again. "

"What's the use of a monk like you asking for such a big title?" Shen Yuan did not understand, "All year round I haven't seen you in any temple for a few days, what use is it for you to be a State Protector?"

"I don't know." Du Fa squinted his eyes and replied as he leaned on the deck chair in the courtyard.

Hearing him say that, Shen Yuan naturally did not believe him, "What you hate the most are worldly affairs, but now that you have become an official, you actually say you don't know why you got such a job? Is someone holding a knife against your neck to force you to agree? "

Du Fa glanced at him lightly and said, "Ah Yuan, why don't you understand? I'm a monk, but I'm not a clay figure of a Bodhisattva.

He continued, "Everyone says that we cultivate the Buddha, but the truth is that we cultivate ourselves. If you want to live in this world without pain or hardship, you have to obey your own will and have the courage to bear the consequences of doing so. Only in this way would he be able to be at ease. Even if the consequences were hard and difficult, he had to step out on his own. You have to get out to do what you want, and then you may get into trouble, you see — life is like that. It was a reincarnation, and no one could enjoy it. And you and I are trapped here. "

His words were reasonable and well-founded, but Shen Yuan said, "Since you know that you shouldn't have any thoughts, why don't you restrain yourself?" Shen Yuan had been studying the Book of Virtue since he was young, to nurture the body and to nurture the mind. In his opinion, it was true that people with evil thoughts could make mistakes even if they were saints. However, if they knew that this was a wrong decision that they shouldn't make before making a mistake, they should have stopped it earlier.

Furthermore, Du Fa was a monk. Buddhism had many rules, he should be more restrained than ordinary people. Who would have thought that Du Fa would actually let his be.
