As a result, her words just now were just to encourage the guards to delay a little longer. He would have to resign himself to fate.

Fortunately, the heavens did not have the heart to let her die.

A carriage, which had come to offer incense, appeared behind the bandits. When the bandits saw this, they immediately dispatched guards to reinforce them.

Very quickly, the bandits were restrained.

Xie Wanqing was supported by Yue Xin as shshewalked over to express her gratitude. When she got closer, he discovered the small word "Sun" carved on the side of the horse carriage. No wonder the guards were so skilled.

"Thank you for your kindness." Since the other party didn't want to come out, she could only pretend that she didn't know him.

"Madam, these people have all committed suicide by hiding drugs in their mouths. It's a dereliction of duty on our part. " A guard came over and said.

Lady Chen lifted the curtain and stuck her head out, looking at Xie Wanqing who was in front of the carriage, she turned and said to the guards: "Forget it, today it's all thanks to you all saving this young lady. You guys can pack up all the corpses and hand them over to the yamen to investigate."

The guard looked at Xie Wanqing and was surprised at her calmness. Normally, a child would be scared senseless by the battle, but Xie Wanqing was able to calmly come over and say thanks.

He saluted her and left.

Xie Wanqing bowed in return. Regardless of the other party's identity or how she spoke of him, she was still her savior. She would definitely be treated with respect.

When Lady Chen saw her acting this way, she did not stop her and asked with concern, "Thank you Second Miss, are you injured?"

"Thank you Madam for your help." Thank you Madam, for your assistance.

When Lady Chen saw this, she nodded her head and said: "I'm not going up the mountain either. Since Second Miss was frightened, how about I send you back?"

How could Xie Wanqing not? She quickly thanked him.

In this battle, although none of the guards in Marquis Anyang's Mansion died, they were still injured quite a bit. The guards in the Marquis Anyang's Mansion had brought quite a lot of medicine for their wounds and bandaged them on the spot.

Along the way, the two groups of people moved forward and finally returned to the Marquis Anyang's Mansion safely.

When the guard saw Xie Xianqing's carriage, he broke into a bitter smile. Xie Wanqing had sent a letter early in the morning saying that she would be there by noon, causing them to wait for so long. After seeing Lady Chen's carriage, she thought that perhaps she had a guest, so she went back to report to the Countess.

As she did not know who it was, the Countess only sent the housekeeper to pick it up. Unexpectedly, Madam Chen had already left by the time the housekeeper arrived.

General Mansion were never too intimate with any of the court officials, so it was reasonable for the Chen family to leave. Xie Wanqing supported Xie Wanqing to meet the old lady. Although she had been extremely calm on the carriage, but after thinking about it, she still felt afraid. If not for the fact that they had met the Chen family by luck, they might not have been able to come back alive.

Upon entering the Old Mistress' courtyard, Xie Wanqing's eyes turned red, her tears were about to fall, looking extremely pitiful.

"Grandmother!" She stumbled over and threw herself into the old lady's arms.

"What happened, what happened to Xianqing?" The old lady was still in the dark and did not know a thing, but when she saw Xie Wanqing, who was normally obedient and calm, suddenly crying like that, she knew that something had happened, and while giving Mama Xin a meaningful glance, she pulled her into her embrace.

Mama Xin ran into a butler who had rushed over as soon as he stepped out of the door.

"Mama Xin, something big happened!" He ran out of breath. Just now, Xie Wanqing went to the old lady's courtyard to count the guards, but after doing so, he realised that their numbers were much lower, and the rest were all injured.

Although Lady Chen went back, she still kept the guards. Those people helped the guards to stand behind the carriage. At first, it was quite a distance away, but the steward thought it was his own residence and didn't pay them any attention. When he got closer to take a closer look, more than half of them were unfamiliar faces. His heart thumped loudly, and he knew that something had happened.

That guard from General Mansion told him in detail what happened on the way here, and also told him that some of the more heavily injured people had already been sent to the infirmary. When the butler heard that they were people from General Mansion, he bowed and thanked them. Then, he immediately sent people to follow them to the infirmary. He then turned around to report to the madame.

Mama Xin brought back the butler's words to the old mistress.

When the old lady heard this, she said angrily, "They really have the guts to even dare to rob our Marquis Anyang's Mansion's carriage!"

However, on the official road to the Hanshan Temple in the capital, there had never been a bandit. If there was, then the person in the office in the capital would have long since taken off his black gauze hat.

Why did he coincidentally meet a bandit on the day that Xie Wanqing returned to her residence? Even after being captured, he would still kill himself. This was not the way a bandit would do things; this was the way a suicide soldier should act.

Once this matter was done, the corpses would be sent to the yamen. At that time, it would be seen that someone was plotting to kill Xie Wanqing, and with the General Mansion involved, once the official investigation was serious, it would not end so easily.

At that time, regardless of what the truth was, if Marquis Anyang's Mansion was involved in this case, it would be a disgrace to their reputation, not to mention that it was at the critical juncture of the old mistress' birthday.

The old mistress was infuriated. It looked like she was being too forgiving, causing them to be unaware of the scale of the heavens and the limits of the earth. She dared to make a move so brazenly.

On the surface, however, she comforted Xie Wanqing with a face full of tender affection: "It's fine, don't be afraid late Qing, the authorities will definitely investigate everything thoroughly, and capture all of those bandits in one fell swoop."

Xie Wanqing sobbed as she nodded her head, her tears constantly flowing.

Seeing her like this, the Countess knew that she was shocked. Xie Wanqing was normally very obedient and sensible, but she was still a seven-year-old child. After seeing the sword and blade fight today, she was naturally afraid.

"Mama Xin, take my name scroll and invite a doctor over to let Second Miss have a look. After that, send all of the medicinal ingredients that are stored in the warehouse to the courtyard of Sanguine City."

Mama Xin acknowledged the order and turned to leave.

"Xianqing thanks Grandmother." Xie Wanqing wiped the tears off her face and forced a smile.

The madame patted her on the head. "You are also frightened. Go back and rest." "Don't come out for the next two days."

After Xie Wanqing left, the Mama Xin returned after a while. She pinched the old mistress' shoulder and asked, "What does the old mistress plan to do?"

This time, most likely, it was either Xie Wanyun or the Concubine Fang who had done it, just that it was a little too obvious. To make a move on the public road, yet not expecting to meet the wife of General Mansion, was now just a wasted effort.

On the other hand, the corpses of those people were sent to the government offices, and if they were investigated, there would always be traces of them, and if there were any involved in Marquis Anyang's Mansion, it would be a slap in the face for them, as the people of the government fought openly and secretly, and all of the trouble would go to the government offices. This was to say that the madame was incompetent and could not manage the backyard well, which was also to say that Marquis Anyang's Mansion was a mistake.

Thus, the madame could not let this matter go unattended.

"Let them both keep their feet! You are not allowed to come out without my permission! " The madame said angrily.

They didn't say how long they were grounded. That was to say, as long as the madame didn't speak, they would never be able to leave.

Currently, Xie Wanqing had a good relationship with Sun Xiaoxiao, and today, it was Madam General Mansion who was sending her back to her residence. No matter how she looked at it, she had an advantage over Xie Wanyun.

"Tomorrow you will prepare a great gift and personally bring people to visit General Mansion to express your gratitude." After some thought, the old mistress spoke again.

Mama Xin nodded: "This servant understands."

Xie Wanqing left the old mistress' courtyard and did not return to her own room. Instead, she walked towards the Madame Ye.

After not seeing her for half a month, the Madame Ye was sitting in the courtyard and reading a book as usual. Hearing that Xie Wanqing had come, she could not help but be elated, and seeing her tear-stained face, she immediately asked her what was going on.

Today was the day Xie Wanqing would return from the Hanshan Temple, she knew that if she hadn't seen him for half a month, she would be missing him a bit. was just a Daughter of Concubine, he couldn't possibly let a lady welcome him, thus even though she wanted to see him, she could only stay in the courtyard.

Since she had already reported what had happened today, the Madame Ye would find out sooner or later. Therefore, Xie Wanqing did not hide it from her and told her everything that had happened today in detail. How pitiful.

The Madame Ye did not have a daughter, hence Xie Huaijin was not close to her since young.
