Thinking back to how Sun Xiaoxiao had treated her coldly in the General Mansion a few days ago, how the Twelfth Princess had made things difficult for her, and how the Chen Family refused to save her even in the face of death, but when she thought about it, she actually started to smile. These people only bullied her because she was just a Daughter of Concubine.

Recently, Xie Wanqing had gradually become distant with her, and did not help her speak up at General Mansion. These people, she would retaliate against them one by one, once she becomes a Direct Daughter of Marquis Anyang's Mansion, who would dare to look down on her?

Xie Wanqing came back early today, and read in the afternoon, then went to talk to the old lady again at night. This was her recent habit.

When the old lady heard that Sun Xiaoxiao was going to invite her again tomorrow, she was not dissatisfied at all, she just forgave him and gave her another three days of leave. He said that if Sun Xiaoxiao invited him in the future, he could just send a servant girl over to inform him without reporting anything.

After Xie Wanqing heard the news, he was overjoyed. She hugged the old lady and shouted happily, "Grandmother really does love Evening Sun."

The old lady stroked her hair and laughed.

With this privilege, Xie Wanqing couldn't help but become a bit more confident in her own business. Previously, she was still worried that if she were to head to General Mansion every day, the old lady would be unhappy or question her. Now it seemed that she had worried for nothing.

The next day, Sun Xiaoxiao sent people over to inform her that the ladies all liked the Fruit Jelly she made, and they all came to ask about it. Those who had not eaten all rushed into the shop to buy them.

This was something that Xie Wanqing had thought of long ago, as long as the madams liked it, they would definitely give it to the people who were on good terms with him. This was the first reason, the second reason was that the noble ladies had nothing to do with each other, merely showing off and mocking each other.

Although on the surface, it looked like Sun Xiaoxiao was inviting her to play, but in truth, she had Yue Xin along with her every day as she rushed to make the jelly. Every day, there was only a single type of taste and not much, and it would be sold at a high price in the shop.

All of a sudden, all the rich and influential families in the capital knew that a new snack called Fruit Jelly had appeared. It was smooth and not greasy, and was very sweet and delicious.

The noble ladies competed with each other, all fighting to buy. The ladies in the pavilion also liked this taste, and even the ministers and princes wanted to buy some sweethearts to please them. Thus, every morning, Attendant would line up in front of the shop, just to buy a portion of Fruit Jelly.

Sun Xiaoxiao's shop's door was broken through every day, and she was so happy that she was like something. At the beginning, she only thought that she could earn money, but she didn't think that it would be robbed like this. She couldn't help but be surprised at Xie Wanqing's intelligence.

If it was her, she definitely wouldn't sell it so well.

Seeing the look of worship in Sun Xiaoxiao's eyes, Xie Wanqing laughed helplessly: "I accidentally read this in an old book, it's not what I was thinking."

Actually, this was the way the chef from his previous life did it. She was just imitating him. He didn't expect the effects to be so good.

Xie Wanqing did not like to read books either, this was something that Sun Xiaoxiao had already known for a long time. Otherwise, which pavilion's daughter would accompany her and cause a ruckus over the past few days?

Today, Xie Wanqing returned from the General Mansion and it was already dark. As usual, he went to accompany the old lady after dinner. The two talked for a while until the old lady got tired. Xie Wanqing brought the people back to her own courtyard.

The old mistress' residence was still far from Xie Wanqing's courtyard. In the middle, there was a large lotus pond, and in the summer, it was filled with lotus flowers. But now, all that was left was a broken branch, giving off a strange feeling under the leisurely lighting.

Originally, Xie Wanqing had brought Mama Feng and Yue Xin with him. But when she was chatting with the old lady, Concubine Fang sent someone over, saying that a servant girl in her courtyard had done something bad and wanted Yue Xin to go back to take a look.

Concubine Fang was just an aunt, it was not good to interfere with her servants. But Yue Xin was Xie Wanqing's head maid, so if the little maid made a mistake, she should go and take a look.

Therefore, Xie Wanqing did not stop him and allowed him to return first.

Logically speaking, he should be back at this time to pick her up. He didn't know what had delayed him for so long.

Xie Wanqing had Mama Feng following him, the two of them supported the night wind as they walked in the opposite direction of the courtyard. The autumn wind of September blew away a cold feeling from her body.

Just as she walked to the side of the lotus pond, a black figure suddenly burst out from the grass behind her, grabbing her by the neck and pulling her towards the lotus pond, Xie Wanqing cried out.

Mama Feng had recently caught a cold and had a headache. She was getting old and a little dazed. Suddenly, she heard Xie Wanqing's shout, and when she looked up, he saw that she had disappeared.

Looking around, he only saw two shadows squatting beside the lotus pond. One of them seemed to have his head buried in the lotus pond.

Mama Feng only felt her heart pounding, she immediately regained consciousness. No one knew where she got the power from, but like a gust of wind, she rushed to the side of the lotus pond and tried to pull on Xie Wanqing's neck with all her might, but she could not, because that person's strength was too strong.

Xie Wanqing was pressed down onto the ground, her head was buried in the water of the lotus pond, like a small bird that was about to die.

Mama Feng felt all the blood in her body rush to the top of her head. In a moment of desperation, he bit into the man's ear, and a fishy taste spread out from her mouth.

The man felt pain, and loosened his grip on Xie Wanqing's hand and pushed him away. His strength was originally great, but now that she was injured, the force in her hand became even stronger, and Mama Feng was pushed to the ground.

That person touched his ears, probably touching the bloodstains, then hatefully came over and kicked Mama Feng twice.

Mama Feng was originally old, but after getting sick, she was kicked until her head swelled up.

Xie Wanqing raised her head from the lotus pond and turned to see two black figures inside. Seeing her turn around, Mama Feng knew that she was fine and immediately shouted: "Miss, run quickly! "Run!"

Xie Wanqing actually wanted to run, but she was only seven years old, she had already wasted a lot of her energy cooking when she was at the General Mansion during the day, and she was pressed into the water for that long just now.

Seeing the man turning to grab her, Xie Wanqing immediately wanted to escape, but before she could even take a step, she was caught. Xie Wanqing thought that she wouldn't be able to run away this time, would she die again?

Just that this time, the man did not succeed, as Mama Feng pounced and used his hand to scratch his face, causing the man to throw Xie Wanqing down, grabbing Mama Feng and throwing him into the lotus pond.

Mama Feng had already exhausted all of her stamina, and knew that if she were to die, Xie Wanqing would definitely not be able to escape. Miss … "Run!"

That person used a lot of force when throwing her. She never thought that Mama Feng would grab onto her even more fiercely, adding to the slippery sides of the lotus pond, both of them fell into the water.

Mama Feng splashed into the water and hugged the man tightly, not allowing him to get ashore even if he died.

Xie Wanqing watched the two black figures entangle themselves on the water surface, and she quickly distanced herself from them.

The initial panic slowly cooled down, and the cold water on her hair dripped down her neck. It was cold in this autumn night, and her heart gradually calmed down as well.

Xie Wanqing ran towards the old lady's courtyard, while shouting for help. Although there were few people here, it was not far from the madame's courtyard. There were also quite a few patrolling guards, and soon, people heard her voice coming towards them in groups. That was why the man had held her in the water so he could suffocate her instead of throwing her in the lotus pond.

If she had been thrown into the lotus pond from the beginning, she would have definitely cried for help. After that, the Mama Feng would have heard those guards call for help again.

And the person who harmed her wanted her life.

The guards followed her to the lotus pond. When they heard that someone had fallen into the water, they immediately lit lanterns and went into the water to look for him.

She had called for quite a few people along the way, and someone had immediately gone to inform the madame.

Mama Xin rushed over after the guards went into the water and even brought a thick cape, "Autumn night is cool, Second Miss needs to take care of her body." She said, "The Old Mistress was awoken by this and was worried about you. Second Miss might as well go to the Old Mistress to change her clothes and drink a bowl of ginger tea to warm her body so that she can be at ease. This old servant is watching here, there must be no mistake. "

Xie Wanqing opened his eyes and looked at Mama Xin. His eyes were filled with hatred, like a poison arrow.
