One or two of them had been sold out. She had also fainted for a while and became ill. She was afraid that her life might be in danger and that she might not be able to bear the company of others.

Another chimed in that he had seen such people in his hometown. Whoever stayed with such people would be in trouble.

Xie Huaixing was normally in the academy, but Mister had already said that he could not speak of things that were weird and messed up. When he saw that the two of them had not only said it, but were even spouting bad things about Xie Wanqing, his temper flared up and he called for people to capture the two Attendant s and teach them a lesson.

When he told Madame Huang about this, Madame Huang became serious and praised, "Well done, a servant should be punished for chewing on Master's tongue." Then he asked again, "So you're going to see the sunset today?"

"No," Xie Huaixing shook his head, "Those two servants are still people on our side no matter what. I want to go outside to buy some delicious snacks to apologize to Sister Wanqing."

"What kind of snacks do you have in our mansion that you go out to buy? It can't be that you're greedy, right?" Madame Huang pinched his face and said.

Xie Huaixing felt wronged: "No, mother, I heard my classmate say that there's a new snack called Fruit Jelly. Many people like it, and they have to queue up everyday to buy it. I just want to buy some for mother and sister to taste."

Madame Huang had heard of this dessert before, it was said that all the rich and powerful families in the capital rushed to buy it, but she was not someone who focused on talking, so she did not join in on the commotion. But now that Xie Wanqing was sick, she could buy her a taste. Furthermore, although Xie Huaixing was young, his words were reasonable. No matter what, those two servants belonged to the second branch family. If the words they said were spread out, the master branch would definitely feel a bit annoyed after hearing it.

But because they were only two servants, if she were to personally explain it, it would seem like there was no point in doing so, so she might as well let Xie Huaixing do it. He and Xie Wanqing had a good relationship in the first place, and since they were also two children, it would be much easier to settle things between two children. Therefore, she did not stop him, and allowed the servant to bring the porridge that was already prepared for Xie Huaixing to drink, before letting him go.

Xie Heng woke up earlier than her and changed her clothes to take up her duties. As a result, she was the only person left in the room. Madame Huang finished her breakfast slowly, and called the old servant in charge to ask: "Where are the two servants that Young Master captured yesterday?"

"To reply Madam, those two servants were punished by the young master. They had to stand by the flower racks to bask in the sunlight for the whole day, and were called out early today by the young master. They are still standing beside the flower racks."

When Madame Huang heard this, she could only find it funny. After all, Xie Huaixing was still a child.

"Bring them here."

The old woman answered and left.

Very quickly, two Attendant s were brought over.

"Who taught you to say what you said yesterday?" Based on Xie Wanqing's predicament, Madame Huang had no choice but to suspect that someone was behind these two servants.

The matter of the Mama Feng was not over yet, but Xie Wanqing was still sick. Among the servants, there were already words like theirs, if it were to spread, the consequences would be unimaginable. Madame Huang did not believe in matters regarding the gods and ghosts, but there was no guarantee that the rest of the manor would not believe him.

But no matter how much he changed, it would not benefit Xie Wanqing in any way. Madame Huang really could not think of who could be so displeased with a seven year old child, and even shift the blame to the second house. If not for Xie Huaixing accidentally running into her, she would still be in the dark.

The two servants kneeled on the ground and kowtowed in panic. "Madam, please understand. No one taught us anything. This humble one was just lost in thought for a moment and spoke nonsense …"

After saying that, he kowtowed.

Madame Huang looked at the two people clashing against each other, not showing the slightest bit of mercy on his face. "You really didn't do that?"

"I really don't have any. Please spare me!" In the Zhou Dynasty, as long as it was a slave who had signed a death contract, no one would care if they killed their master. Although the two of them signed a life contract, their Marquis Anyang's Mansion were strong and even if they killed them, no one would dare to say a word. Usually, the rules of the manor were strict, but they had forbidden themselves from gossiping about their master. It was likely that they would not be able to escape punishment.

However, Madame Huang was not as ruthless as the madame. Furthermore, maybe she really was overthinking things, and the matter of the Mama Feng was not settled yet, she shouldn't be able to get into trouble so quickly. Therefore, she ordered, "Pay these two people's wages. According to the rules of the contract, we can calculate how much they should compensate and inform the government about what happened yesterday."

The old woman hurriedly accepted the order.

The faces of the two Attendant s turned ashen when they heard this. They had signed a contract with him, but if he were to leave the house due to a mistake while he was still working, he would have to compensate Marquis Anyang's Mansion s. With the salary they'd earned in the past few years, they'd lost everything and worked for nothing.

The reason why Marquis Anyang's Mansion were so rich was naturally not because they lacked that little bit of money. It was also because they made such a rule for the servants to be obedient. Furthermore, although there were many rules and regulations governing Marquis Anyang's Mansion, it was many times better to live and dress as a farmer than their parents. Thus, most of the servants that came in were obedient and wouldn't commit any crimes, and once the contract time arrived, they would take a few years' worth of wages and return home to live well.

There were only one or two servants expelled from the mansion every year, but he never expected that it would be their turn.

If they were only kicked out, they would have been able to go to another house to be servants. However, the Madame Huang had informed the government, and their documents would be recorded as saying that they would chew on the root of a master's tongue.

Although the Madame Huang did not beat them up nor curse them, she had cut off their retreat.

The two of them kowtowed and dripped blood, begging Madame Huang to keep them, and muttered that they did not dare anymore. Seeing this, Madame Huang was annoyed, so she called for people to drag them out.

She didn't want to harm others, but she also didn't have bad intentions. She wouldn't leave any hidden dangers for herself.

Xie Huaixing walked out of the door, bringing Attendant with him to the "Blessed Reminder". This was what Chen Li, who was on good terms with him, had told him yesterday. He said that all the madams and mistresses loved a new snack called Jelly.

Xie Huaixing was not a sweet person, thus although he usually bought some snacks on the streets, he did not go to the snack shop often. Luckily, the Attendant was smart, and kept asking people along the way, so the two of them followed the directions and arrived at the place. It just didn't look right.

Chen Li said that this place was packed with people every morning. The Attendant maids of the various residences fought to buy a few jellyfish, which was why he got up early today. Now that he was here, he realized that there weren't many people here. Other than the shopkeeper and the waiter, there was no one else. Could it be that Chen Li was lying to him? After all, he hadn't even slept soundly yet and had already woken up. If that was really the case, then Chen Li, who had lied to him, would have looked even better.

He did not know if there was Fruit Jelly inside, whether it was delicious or not, if there was none, then what would he use to apologize to Xie Wanqing?

Xie Huaixing was annoyed, he pouted and walked into the shop, and unknowingly saw the person walking out.

"Ouch!" Xie Huaixing grew stronger, walked faster, had more strength, causing the girl to retreat a few steps, almost falling to the ground. Luckily, the servant girl by his side reached out her hands to support her.

Coincidentally, the person was Sun Xiaoxiao.

For the past few days, Xie Wanqing had been unable to go to the General Mansion nor make Jelly, so it wasn't easy for him to meet someone who could talk to and start a business with him. The two of them were planning something big, but suddenly, Xie Wanqing got sick and the business also stopped.

She didn't like going to school, so she put on an act to play. Although the capital was big, Sun Xiaoxiao did not dare to go too far, and could only walk around near to the General Mansion.

As the Direct Daughter of General Mansion, she took her servant out to play when she was five years old. General Sun doted on her and did not restrain her temper at all. When Madam Chen saw this, she also turned a blind eye.

Today, he wanted to come from the shop to see how the business was, but he didn't expect to be run over.

"How did you walk?!" Don't you have eyes? " Sun Xiaoxiao's temper immediately rose after being hit.

When Xie Huaixing saw that he had bumped into someone, he was just about to apologize when he raised his head and was scolded by Sun Xiaoxiao. He had followed Madame Huang and participated in many of the banquets between noble families before.
