"You are still sick, there is no need to be so courteous. Sit down." The madame was very pleased with her performance and reached out to support her.

As for Xie Wanyun, ever since Xie Wanqing had appeared at the entrance, and even after she had bowed, her expression had not changed in the slightest, as if she was a stranger that had just brushed past.

Last night, Xie Wanqing almost died in her hands, but now she was this calm. The old mistress could not help but have a whole new level of respect for her.

If two people were fighting, that would be fine, but Xie Wanyun had acted a little ruthlessly, she was only ten years old, and Xie Wanqing was the younger sister of her mother, so how could she act so viciously?

Other than Xie Wanqing who was beside her, no one else saw her glance at Xie Wanyun for a long time.

After Xie Wanqing sat down, the old lady spoke out: "Xinqing, why don't you tell me what exactly happened last night?"

When she said that, both Madame Ye and Madame Ye looked over at her. Xie Wanyun heard and stopped for a moment, but she regained her calm demeanor after a while, and gently sipped on her tea.

"Yanqing, tell me exactly what happened last night, word for word. If you suffer any grievances, you will have the madame to speak up for you." Seeing her pale face, Madame Ye felt pity for her in her heart.

Madame Huang also nodded in agreement.

"Is the wife that was fished out with the Mama Feng a member of our house?" Xie Wanqing asked instead of answering.

Once she asked, everyone knew that even though she had been in the yard all day, the news from outside had not spread.

Madame Ye and Madame Huang looked at her in astonishment. Madame Ye didn't know why she asked this question, but she couldn't help but think highly of her. Previously, she only thought that Xie Wanqing and Xie Huaixing were similar in age, and that it was understandable. Furthermore, she had always wanted a daughter herself, so she had some love for Xie Wanqing.

But this love was not enough to make her disobey the old lady for Xie Wanqing's sake. Therefore, the madame did not step forward when she decided to settle the matter. If not for Madame Ye resisting the order with her body, she would not have dared to be the head bird.

From the looks of it, Xie Wanqing was not an idiot.

She first asked who that old woman was. If the madame replied that she was from outside the Palace, it meant that she would definitely help her find the truth; if she was from the Palace, then this matter would definitely be settled quickly in order to protect the dignity of the Marquis Anyang's Mansion. Then, no matter what Xie Wanqing said, it would be useless.

Although Madame Huang was straightforward, she thought carefully, and with a thought she understood the crux of the matter, she looked at Xie Wanqing with praise.

Xie Wanqing looked straight at her, but only at the Old Mistress.

The old mistress glanced at her and spoke slowly, "It's the old man of the residence."

"I wonder if her family still exists?"

"No, she's all alone. There isn't even a body collector who died."

The madame's words made it clear that there was no way to find anyone now that they were dead. Unless a god descended to the mortal realm, even if the matter were to blow up, finding out that it was that woman who plotted against Marquis Anyang's Mansion, Second Miss would only be able to find out this much. But as an old granny who had no enmity with Xie Wanqing, why did she want to harm him?

No one would believe that no one had ordered him to do so. But now that he was dead, no matter how many clues were left, the person behind all of them would definitely not be able to find out. Other than damaging the reputation of the Marquis Anyang's Mansion, there was no other use.

Xie Wanqing naturally understood the Old Mistress' meaning, so she stood up and replied, "Last night, Ye Dingdang and Mama Feng were on their way back to the courtyard. After passing by the lotus pond, a person suddenly came out from behind them and dragged Mama Feng away. Yan Zhaoge looked at Mu Xueqing with a hint of fear in his eyes, but didn't say anything. He continued to walk towards Mu Xueqing's direction, his gaze focused on Mu Xueqing for a moment before turning to Mu Xueqing. Everyone knows. "

She only said that he had attacked the Mama Feng, but she didn't mention him at all.

The Madame Ye was anxious and asked: "Then what's the matter with the pinch on your neck?"

He didn't notice it last night, but when he went to look at Xie Wanqing during the day, he saw a circle of purple marks on the back of her neck. It was obvious that she had been pinched by someone.

Xie Wanqing didn't think that Madame Ye would ask her this directly. Tonight, she intentionally wore her high collar clothes and hid her neck tightly so that Madame Ye wouldn't see.

The old mistress asked, "Is your neck injured?"

Xie Wanqing pinched herself with all her strength inside her sleeves, felt that her eyes were a little moist, and then raised her head and said: "Yanqing just lied, last night I saw that person dragging Mama Feng to the lotus pond, my heart was anxious, so I pulled her, and got injured …."

After saying that, she looked at Madame Ye with her wet eyes, her gaze filled with regret.

Hearing her words, the Madame Ye felt her heart tensing up. If that person had been even more ruthless towards her last night, Xie Wanqing would not have been able to see the sun today.

"In the future, be more quick-witted when you encounter these things. You're just a child, what help can you possibly have? Hurry up and come find us." The old mistress reprimanded him.

It was not that she was going to save Mama Feng at all, she was afraid that Mama Feng had to put her life on the line to save her. Although she knew that Xie Wanqing was most likely lying, the Old Mistress was still willing to accompany her, if not, if Madame Ye knew the truth, she would not be able to turn the situation into this, and at that time, what would the face of Marquis Anyang's Mansion be like?

The dignified main wife did not even have a discerning eye towards Xie Wanqing, so the old lady could not help but become more displeased the more she looked at Madame Ye.

Madame Huang on the side pretended that she did not exist. She was not worried about Xie Wanqing at all, she knew that she could deal with the Old Mistress, but was instead a little worried about the Madame Ye. The Madame Ye had previously ignored the matters in the backyard, but for some reason this time, it seemed like she was especially concerned about Xie Wanqing, and even refuted the Old Mistress.

Xie Wanqing naturally noticed the old lady's unsightly expression, and said hurriedly: "Xinqing will definitely remember Grandmother's teachings. Initially, she did not want to worry the elders, but she did not want to arouse her mother's suspicions. It was her fault, so Grandmother, I beg of you to forgive me. "

Her words took Madame Ye out, and she only said that she didn't understand.

Madame Ye did not please the madame at all in terms of Marquis Anyang's Mansion. After all these years, she was just an empty shell and the inner court of the house of the Marquis was always under the control of the madame. If he were to be despised by the madame because of her, his life would only be more miserable.

The old mistress nodded at her understanding and said, "Forget it. You are filial too."

Then he continued: "According to what you said, that woman probably has a personal grudge with the Mama Feng."

What personal grudge could there be? Mama Feng was bought from the outside of Concubine Fang, she was not a son of a family. She had been by her side waiting for her all these years, but she had never met that old woman at all.

Back then, Xie Wanqing and Xie Huaijin were born at almost the same time, and the entire household was celebrating the birth of their direct son. Concubine Fang was not disappointed. She had wanted to spend some silver to find a wet nurse to take care of Xie Wanqing. With that, she found Mama Feng.

The Mama s in the house were all clean and healthy. Otherwise, who would dare to come to the house of the Marquis of Milk?

The reason the Concubine Fang found someone she didn't know to take care of her was obviously because he didn't want her to grow up smoothly. However, she never expected that the Mama Feng would treat Xie Wanqing like her own son, and could only kill her now.

Xie Wanqing knew in her heart that it was most likely Concubine Fang who had suddenly gotten the chicken pox, but she could not say it. The person that woman came to kill was not Mama Feng but her, so she could not say it either. Just because this was a Marquis Anyang's Mansion, no matter how corrupt it was inside, it would appear kind and amiable on the surface.

On the surface, she even agreed with the old man. "Probably."

When she said these words, it was clear what she meant. Mama Feng's death was only because of her personal grudge with others, it had nothing to do with Marquis Anyang's Mansion. Since this person in question didn't say that the old woman had planned to murder her, then no matter how others guessed, it was just a fabrication.

The old mistress was delighted to see her being so sensible. She said, "Alright, it's clear now that the matter has come to this point. Xianqing is still sick. Why don't you go back and rest?"

Xie Wanqing bowed and then left.

When she went out of the door, the old lady looked at Xie Wanyun who had not made a sound.
