The madame's words were resolute and decisive as everyone echoed her sentiments. However, he didn't know how he felt in his heart.

The birthday present had caused everyone to be anxious and fearful. The old mistress tried her best to remain calm on the surface, but her heart was filled with a great deal of anger. After the guests had dispersed, they turned towards the people in the mansion and became extremely angry.

The Attendant in the second house was beaten until he was sold to hard labor. The other servants' money had all been deducted because they had heard the rumors. For a moment, they were filled with anger towards Xie Wanqing.

At that time, Xie Wanqing was not very likeable to begin with, and no one helped her speak up. She had been punished by the old mistress to stay indoors for an entire month, and during that month, the servants also started to bully her.

Ever since then, she blamed all the debts on the second room, thinking that Madame Huang did not teach her well, or maybe it was because she hated Xie Huaixing for being pushed down by her that she was slandered this time.

As a result, her relationship with her second wife worsened.

It was not far from the madame's birthday. It was only half a month and it was in the middle of October. It was now the end of September.

So it was already this early, and the other party had already started to lay out their plans. If the two Attendant s were not captured, they would probably spread rumors of her evil aura among the servants in the entire palace. No wonder so many servants came out to support them in their previous life.

The other party only needed to bribe a few more people to join the crowd of servants. As time went on, the rumors would slowly spread to the hearts of the people, and as time passed, more and more rumors would start to spread.

This move could be said to be vicious.

If she didn't have any news about Madame Huang, even though she had already experienced a new life, she wouldn't have expected that someone would start to lay out a plan for her so early in the second room. It was also thanks to the Madame Huang that she didn't have to wait until that day to passively retaliate.

Only when she had a good relationship with Xie Huaixing and a good relationship with the Second Branch would Madame Huang remind her that following her rebirth, even if it was a small change, it would affect the entire chess game that followed.

"Yue Xin, the old mistress' birthday is coming up. Tell me, what should I gift you?"

Yue Xin did not expect her to suddenly change the topic, but she continued speaking: "The old lady is old, and has seen all kinds of good things, no matter how good they are, we do not have them, so young miss only needs to give her a birthday present to express her filial piety."

What she said was not without reason, she was just a Daughter of Concubine, she did not have any good stuff, even if she had, she would not give it to the old lady, and Xie Wanqing did not say it out loud.

Yue Xin suggested: "How about I give you a Jade Bodhisattva Statue?"

The madame had believed in the Buddha for many years, so it couldn't be wrong to give her things related to the Buddha. But no matter how good a good Xie Wanqing was, she wouldn't be able to afford it.

Furthermore, since they could think of this gift, then others definitely could as well. If they could not compare to other people's gift, then they would lose face for Marquis Anyang's Mansion, and might even be hated by the Old Madam.

Therefore, Xie Wanqing shook her head and rejected: "You can't give this, you have to give a gift to a junior.

Suddenly, she thought of Du Fa, this monk who had only seen her once but used her as a shield, and had yet to repay her debt to him.

Xie Wanqing laid on her bed for three days, and the fourth day was good weather.

This time, Sun Xiaoxiao's Blessed Soup Shop was selling snacks with new flavors. Xie Huaixing finally found a good apology gift, and instructed the Attendant to buy two of them. One of them was given to the Madame Huang, while the other went to find Xie Wanqing.

Although Sun Xiaoxiao had instructed the shop owner not to sell the snacks to him, he was fine with not going. Since Sun Xiaoxiao and the people in the shop didn't know who he was, Xie Huaixing casually sent a Attendant over to buy the items.

Seeing the Attendant carrying back his things, he was happy for a while. He thought to himself, Sun Xiaoxiao is really dumb, to think that she would want to fight with him just like that.

When Xie Huaixing arrived, he was sunning himself on a chair in the courtyard with a book in his hands. It had been almost half a month since she had gone to the academy. He was previously busy with business, but later he got sick and stayed in the courtyard. However, he didn't dare to forget his homework. He was bored lying in bed everyday anyway, so she might as well memorize.

"Sister Wanqing, Sister Wanqing!" From a distance, Xie Huaixing shouted at her.

Seeing him run towards him with her sleeves raised up quickly, Xie Wanqing wanted to catch him, if she fell, it would be terrible, but Attendant who was at the side did not dare to quickly run with the food in his hands, afraid that he would ruin the snacks inside, at that time, Xie Huaixing would have to settle the debt with him, but at the same time he was worried that Xie Huaixing would fall down, he was extremely anxious.

Fortunately, Xie Huaixing steadily threw himself into Xie Wanqing's embrace, safe and sound.

"What are you in such a hurry for? If I fall down, what would I compensate Second Aunt for?" Xie Wanqing poked his forehead.

Xie Huaixing grinned, "It can't be, I won't even wrestle while climbing trees in the academy!"

"So powerful!"

"Impressive!"

Seeing that Xie Huaixing's tail was almost reaching the sky, Xie Wanqing hurriedly stopped him, "Alright, alright, I know you're awesome. How are you free to come and find me today?"

"I wanted to see you for a long time," Xie Huaixing said in an aggrieved tone. "It's all because of that shop, it doesn't open its doors!"

Originally, he wanted to come visit since a long time ago when Xie Wanqing was sick, but unfortunately for her, two other Attendant's ill words had happened, causing him to feel embarrassed and empty-handed. He always wanted to bring something to apologize to them.

If Sun Xiaoxiao knew about this, she would probably quarrel with him on the spot.

Xie Wanqing knew in her heart that he was uncomfortable, so she didn't tease him. She pulled Xie Huaixing's hand and sat down on a stone table in the courtyard, and asked: "What good stuff did your Attendant bring?"

Xie Huaixing revealed a smile as if he had gotten his way, "Elder sister, guess."

Looking at his mischievous and naive look, Xie Wanqing really couldn't expose him. In fact, Madame Huang had already told her everything when she sent her servant here previously, she even knew about the fight between him and Sun Xiaoxiao at the entrance of the shop.

But in her two lives, there had never been someone so close to her nor had there been brothers and sisters, and now that she looked at Xie Huaixing, he truly resembled her own blood brother.

Therefore, they cooperated with him and made several guesses. Xie Huaixing would always shake his head and say that something was wrong, and in the end, say as if offering a treasure: "Elder sister, you must have never seen this kind of snack before. This is a new dish from the capital, it's rare to buy it."

With that said, he gestured to Attendant to place the food box on the table, and opened it for Xie Wanqing to see.

Xie Wanqing acted as if she had never seen anything before, her face was filled with surprise and curiosity. This greatly satisfied Xie Huaixing, and he felt that her choice of apology was not wrong. She called for Xie Wanqing to eat more.

The two of them played around for an entire afternoon without mentioning anything.

On the second day, Sun Xiaoxiao's post arrived as promised.

The old mistress did not stop him.

Xie Wanqing went to the General Mansion again. After not seeing her for a few days, Sun Xiaoxiao pulled her hand and talked to her. One moment she was bored to death, and the next moment she said that Xie Wanqing had lost weight.

Xie Wanqing coaxed her like she was a little kid, but after a while, Sun Xiaoxiao finally talked about proper business. It turned out that a big businessman had come to the dessert shop today, wanting to buy the recipe in their hands.

In the past few days, it had been well-known by all the officials in the capital. Every household was scrambling to buy one, whether it was delicious or not, whether they liked it or not. The main reason was that this snack was rare, even if you had money, you could not buy it.

As a result, from the perspective of those people, this was no longer just a snack, but a symbol of ability.

The Fortune Soup Shop's business was booming. Naturally, the other dim sum shops were not willing to fall behind, and they all began to study this new snack bar. However, no matter what kind of master it was, it was impossible to do so.

A few days ago, a new dessert shop had suddenly stopped selling snacks. Those customers had long been waiting anxiously for this opportunity. The day before yesterday, Xie Wanqing got Yue Xin to send someone to deliver a letter to Sun Xiaoxiao, saying that on the second day, they would sell another type of snack bar, and all of a sudden, the Fortune Soup Shop was packed with people. Some of them even sent their Attendant to line up at the entrance before daybreak, just so that they could try out the new snack bar first.
