Mama Xin's heart skipped a beat when she saw that, but when she focused her eyes, Xie Wanqing had a weak and fearful look, as if the night light was too dim, making her dazzled for a moment.

Thank you, Mama, but my wet nurse is in the water now. I don't know if she is alive or not, but I am really worried for her. Xie Wanqing said with reddened eyes. Her hair was still dripping with water and her face was also wet.

Seeing this, Mama Xin's heart softened, and did not try to persuade her anymore. She only took out a handkerchief to wipe her face and hair.

"Thank you, Mama." Xie Wanqing said softly, with a hint of tears in her voice.

Marquis Anyang's Mansion occupied a large area of land, and the lotus pond in the manor was not small either. It was currently night time, so even if the guards who were familiar with the waters were to go down, they would inevitably be restricted by the light and be mistaken. The guards that had not entered the water tried their best to illuminate the water with lanterns, but the pond was already dark, and there were broken branches from lotus flowers, so it was not easy to find and fish them out.

Seeing that the guards around the lotus pond were still not able to find anyone after a quarter of an hour, Xie Wanqing's heart gradually cooled down.

Mama Feng was sick, old, and had fought with the black shadow. She must have exhausted all her energy, and now, she had stayed in the lotus pond for another fifteen minutes. From the looks of it, she had almost no chance of survival.

Xie Wanqing only felt a wave of bitterness surge up, and when she wiped it across her face, the face that was originally dried by Mama Xin was now wet.

"Miss …" Miss … This is... "What's wrong?" It was Yue Xin's voice. Presumably, she had already heard the news from here.

Concubine Fang followed closely behind, quickly reaching Xie Wanqing's side. She looked left and right at her, then asked: "Are you hurt anywhere?"

Seeing that she was fine, he held her tightly in his arms and choked, "You scared me to death! Wanqing, as long as you are fine, it's good as long as you are fine."

Xie Wanqing knew that she was the only one that the Concubine Fang would be happy to see the guards fishing in the lotus pond, but she still had to pretend to be afraid. At this moment, she was too lazy to act and could only stare coldly at him.

Seeing that Xie Wanqing did not make a sound, the Concubine Fang only looked at him, thinking that she was afraid. She took out a handkerchief and wiped her face that was full of tears, "Yanqing is not afraid, Aunt is here."

The person who wanted to kill him tonight was most likely someone that she had sent over. However, he knew that he couldn't fall out with her for the time being, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart and turn his face away from her.

"What's going on?" It was the voice of the Madame Ye.

Madame Ye lived far away from here, so it was slow. She had originally rested, but after suddenly hearing the servant say that something had happened to Second Miss, she suddenly felt short of breath and a wave of dizziness came over. Mama by her side consoled her a few times, then scolded the servant girl, and asked if it was the Second Miss who brought the servant back from the old lady's courtyard, and what happened to the Mama beside her.

Only then did Madame Ye calm down, and after wearing a simple set of clothes, she rushed over.

As long as it was a mother and son, when Xie Wanqing heard Madame Ye's voice, she felt that his stomach was filled with grievance and unwillingness to let it out, she let out a "mother" and ran towards the Madame Ye's embrace.

Seeing Xie Wanqing cry so much, Madame Ye felt her heart throbbing in pain. She squatted down and hugged her to comfort her, "It's okay, it's fine.

Seeing that, Concubine Fang's body stiffened, but she quickly regained her composure and bowed to Madame Ye.

Then, he walked over and pulled Xie Wanqing out. He tenderly reached out his hand to wipe her tears and said: "Madam, don't blame me.

This meant that Xie Wanqing being close to the Madame Ye was just a panic attack.

At this point in time, Xie Wanqing also realized that she had been too impulsive just now, and was afraid that she would increase Concubine Fang's suspicion. With a "wah" sound, she threw herself into her embrace, hugging Concubine Fang and crying until she was out of breath.

Seeing the two of them getting close to each other, Madame Ye felt bitter in his heart, but she knew that they were her real mother and daughter. She could only suppress the uneasiness in his heart and asked Mama Xin: "What's going on?"

Mama Xin shook her head, she did not know the specifics either. When she came over, she had not even had the time to ask, before Concubine Fang had already come over. Xie Wanqing had been crying the entire time.

Everyone waited for around fifteen minutes, the surrounding Attendant maids all lit up lanterns to light up the lotus pond, the guards searched the water circle after circle, but to no avail.

The wind was cold at night, causing Xie Wanqing's wet hair to stick to her face. She stood by the lotus pond and refused to leave. Even though she was wearing the cape that Mama Xin had brought over, she was young and weak. Previously, she had knelt down and fainted when she was punished by the Old Mistress, but this time, she was frightened again, so the Madame Ye was afraid that something might happen to her.

The people in the water probably wouldn't be able to survive after not being able to fish them up for half an hour. Xie Wanqing also knew that, so she didn't resist anymore and obediently followed Concubine Fang back to the courtyard. Madame Ye was afraid that she would have nightmares at night, so she sent her personal Mama Zeng to serve her.

When the crowd dispersed, the Attendant maids returned to their rooms to rest, leaving behind a few guards to watch over the lotus pond. However, after a while, Attendant came over with ginger soup, saying that it was made by the Madam specially instructed the kitchen and was still quite warm in the pot. If the night was cold, they would go in and drink two bowls, causing the guards to feel moved, but knowing that talking was useless, they all guarded the lotus pond with full of spirit.

"What the hell is going on?" At this moment, the old mistress' courtyard had already been extinguished, but the bedroom was still brightly lit.

The Mama Xin tucked her in and comforted her: "It must be because that Mama man is old. Her legs slipped and she fell into the lotus pond."

"Then why was her hair wet when she fell into the lotus pond? Did she drag her in? Why is it that Qing's clothes didn't get wet, only her hair, shoes and socks, and her sleeves? "

The old mistress asked a series of questions, which were all what the Mama Xin had just told her. Mama Xin knew that she was being serious and had no choice but to beg for forgiveness, "Whatever it is, you have to wait until tomorrow morning to explain yourself. Miss, don't think about it anymore.

She called the old mistress' miss'. How many years had this been called? The old mistress could not even remember how long it had been.

"A Xin." The old lady seemed to recall her youth. She was old and had light sleep. She would wake up easily if she made any noise. Once she woke up, it would be hard for her to fall asleep. In such a quiet night, when he was called "Miss" by the Mama Xin, it was as if he had returned to his days as a girl in the pavilion before he married into the house of the Marquis.

"I'm old, and I've changed." she said, her voice ancient.

Mama Xin knew that she was overthinking it and immediately stopped her: "How can people not change? Isn't Second Miss also changing?"

"Yeah, it would also become like this for me." The old mistress sighed heavily before speaking again, "Who do you think was the culprit tonight?"

Mama Xin knew that she was going to talk about proper business, and replied: "Who only sees Second Miss as an eyesore."

In truth, the old mistress was very clear about what was going on in her heart. She knew the gist of all the major matters in Marquis Anyang's Mansion.

"You can go and rest."

Mama Xin blew out the candle, bowed and said her goodbyes.

On the second day, when Xie Wanqing did not get up, she had a fever. The doctor came to see him and prescribed the medicine, saying that she had been frightened and had caught a cold, which was why she was like this.

Fortunately, she had Mama Zeng by her side to take care of her. The courtyard was under the control of the Mama Zhang that was sent here to teach the servants previously, so she did not panic at all.

Hearing that she had hurried over, Madame Ye could not help but feel fear in her heart when she saw Xie Wanqing lying on the bed with her face flushed red. She told the two Mama s and Yue Xin to take good care of her, and stayed for a good while before leaving.

Concubine Fang and Xie Wanyun came to visit her as well, but they left after sitting for a short while.

Xie Wanqing only woke up in the afternoon because of the fire. Mama Xin had brought a pile of tonic that the madame had bestowed upon him, and she was so happy that she wanted to go back and report it to the madame.

Xie Wanqing called out to her, "Mama Xin, have you found Mama Feng yet?" Even now, she still wished that the Mama Feng was still alive, even though she knew that such a chance was almost nil.
