However, if it was too big of a deal, it would mean that he did not even put her, the old lady, in his eyes. He felt that the entire backyard was his own world and he could do whatever he wanted.

The old mistress could sit back and watch, but she would never let anyone get out of her control.

"You have always doted on your sister-in-law, but now that your little sister has been frightened for no reason and has contracted an illness in the late autumn, you should go back and copy the Buddhist scripture from the fifth day to pray for her blessings." The madame instructed.

Xie Wanyun obediently agreed.

"You have to carefully copy it. You can't be careless with even a single word."

"Yes." Xie Wanyun replied with gentleness and gentleness.

Previously, when the Old Mistress had questioned Xie Wanqing, she was the most nervous, because if Xie Wanqing were to say that the person from last night had harmed her, then she would definitely not let this matter go so easily. Regardless of whether the madame wanted to or not, this matter was related to the life of the Second Miss of the house of the Marquis.

Although Lv Yi had guaranteed that no one would see through her, it was her first time doing such a thing, and it was also Lv Yi's first time doing it, it would inevitably leave behind an opening.

As a result, although she looked calm and composed as she sat by the side, a thin layer of sweat had already formed on the center of her palms. Fortunately, Xie Wanqing did not speak the truth, and the matter had been settled. Now she only wanted her to copy the Buddhist scriptures, so she didn't care too much about it.

"That night, Yun Li will take his leave."

"Go."

She wasn't sure if it was her imagination, but the old mistress felt that it was rather meaningful from her glance just now.

"Alright, now the two children are gone. "What else do you have to say about this?" The madame looked at the two daughter-in-law sitting below her with dissatisfaction.

Madame Ye knew that the Old Mistress was not satisfied with her, but she had never been liked by the Old Mistress in the first place, so she was not afraid.

"Are you suspecting that I am lying?" The madame looked at her coldly.

Madame Ye lowered her head and said: "My daughter-in-law does not dare."

"You can leave. I need to rest." When the old mistress saw her, she was annoyed. The Madame Ye did not know how to react and would not look at anyone's face. If it wasn't for the fact that she was a Direct Daughter of the Duke of Wei's household, she would have left long ago. Furthermore, she was also separated by a level from Xie Kai. The old mistress could not be bothered to care about her, and only thought that there was no such person.

In the past, when the Madame Ye did not care about anything, she would only sit in her courtyard and shut the door. The old mistress grew annoyed.

"Does mother not plan on investigating this matter?" Madame Ye still could not believe that the many dangers that had occurred on Xie Wanqing's body were all just coincidences. With her death, there was no way to investigate it, and this made her even more convinced that someone had deliberately set it up this way.

She knew about that Mama Feng. It was the wet nurse that Concubine Fang bought from the outside. She had been by Xie Wanqing's side all these years, how could she know that dead woman and have a personal grudge with her? That old woman had been at the house of the Marquis for many years. She had been here since the day she married into the Hou clan. Perhaps she had even arrived earlier than her. Furthermore, she was always trapped in the same room and unable to come out. It was really hard to believe that such a person could have a grudge with the Mama Feng.

"What? How else do you want to investigate?"

With a "pa" sound, the old mistress slammed the teacup she was holding next to her feet, looking at her with a face full of frost.

Madame Ye had never seen such a thing in the Duke Wei Palace. Her child had clearly been in danger time and time again, but for the sake of her so-called family reputation, she did not look any further.

But before she got married, her mother had also told her that Marquis Anyang's Mansion and the Duke Wei Palace were different. He told her not to go along with his personality, to endure everything and not to meddle in other people's business. The backyard had its own Marquis Anyang's Mansion that was controlled by the madame, so she didn't have to worry about it.

As a result, she only treated herself as a mute all these years, whether she listened or not. If not for the fact that Xie Wanqing had been framed time and time again, she would not have stood up. She did not expect that she had still angered the madame.

Madame Ye felt sad and miserable in her heart. However, the old lady was her elder so she naturally could not disobey. Seeing that the old mistress was angry, she hurriedly stood up and said, "Mother, please calm your anger. It is my daughter-in-law who is too preoccupied with her worries."

Madame Huang also chimed in, "Mother, please do not be angry. Eldest Sister-in-Law only spoke carelessly and wrongly. "It is already late in the night, so we will be leaving now. I hope that Mother can take care of her health."

With that, the Madame Ye bowed and said her goodbyes.

The old mistress did not even glance at them before she turned her face away and returned to her room.

"Sister-in-law, why are you doing this?" On the way back, he felt bored and the Madame Huang opened up a conversation.

When the Madame Ye heard this, he paused for a while and said, "Don't you feel that the things that have happened to Yanqing recently are strange?"

Madame Huang knew that she suspected that someone was trying to harm Xie Wanqing and wanted to kill her time and time again, but tonight, Xie Wanqing had said it herself. That person had only come to capture Mama Feng and had also agreed to the Old Madam's words, "That person probably has enmity with Mama Feng."

Since it happened at Marquis Anyang's Mansion, the old lady could say whatever she wanted. Other people did not even have the right to speak, even Xie Wanqing, the person in question, did not have the right to speak, let alone these two undesirable daughter-in-law.

"Strange or not, this matter has already come to an end. It's useless to worry about him." "No," she said.

Madame Ye knew that what she said was reasonable, but it was hard to calm down.

"Sis, you don't have to worry. Everyone has their own destiny. Although this has happened to her, she is still safe and sound, right?" Madame Huang hinted at her in a probing manner. She could be said to be lucky to avoid all those traps the first time, and it could be said to be a coincidence the second time. However, if she could avoid all of them again and again, then it would not be so simple.

However, the Madame Ye had always treated Xie Wanqing as an ordinary child, so she did not understand the deep meaning behind her words.

Xie Wanqing was only seven years old, Madame Ye never thought that she would also know how to scheme this kind of thing, just like how she had never suspected Xie Wanyun.

As a result, he was still worried when he returned to his room.

Madame Huang only mentioned it but did not say anything more. Firstly, it was just her guess, and it had not been verified; secondly, even if it was as she thought, she could not reveal it. Since she could see it, the madame could see it more clearly. However, her actions were still the same. She probably had her own considerations.

Although the Madame Huang disdained scheming and scheming, she was able to see through everything. She hadn't thought about it too much the previous few times, but now that she thought about it more carefully, none of them were simple.

However, this had nothing to do with her. Thus, she returned to her own courtyard and slept soundly that night.

When he woke up the next morning, he found that Xie Huaixing had already put on his clothes and was waiting for her at the entrance.

"The sun is rising in the west today?" Madame Huang intentionally raised her head to look at the sun in the east, and joked. This was something that had never happened before. Xie Huaixing loved to sleep, and although he wouldn't be late, he always got out of bed at some point. It was the first time this had happened.

In the past, Madame Huang would always wake up first and instruct the maidservants to prepare lunch before calling for Xie Huaixing. Seeing that he woke up earlier than her today, she wasn't used to it.

Xie Huaixing threw himself into her embrace and shouted, "Good morning mother."

"Morning, where are you going? You have to go to the academy earlier today to climb trees? " Madame Huang tapped his nose. She knew that Xie Huaixing was being mischievous in the academy, but since it was not in front of her, she turned a blind eye to it. Xie Heng did not allow her to interfere anyways, so she might as well just ignore it.

"That's not it," Xie Huaixing said as he pouted. "I heard that Sister Wanqing was sick." This was what he had heard from his underling when he came back yesterday. But fortunately, the Old Mistress had her ways and Madame Huang was not used to it. The servants kept their mouths shut and knew what to say and what not to say.

Normally when they were gossiping, they would talk about Xie Wanqing getting sick, but they didn't talk about the two women that drowned in the lotus pond the night before.

Xie Huaixing was still young, the Madame Huang didn't want him to know about all these. She just needed to know about the filthiness of those rich families. There was no need to involve those children in this.

"Xianqing is indeed sick. Who told you that?"

"Two Attendant s who were sweeping the ground, were even taught a lesson by me." The moment Xie Huaixing mentioned this, he got angry.

was used to being mischievous and liked to crawl around. He coincidentally heard them chatting, and it had only been a few months since they started talking about anything.
