Seeing how sad and delicate Xie Wanqing was crying today, her heart couldn't help but soften as she hugged her tightly and comforted her softly.

Xie Wanqing cried even harder as she was hugged by the Madame Ye. In her two lives, she had never been so close to the Madame Ye before.

Maybe it was because they were connected by blood, but Xie Wanqing cried so bitterly in her arms that even Madame Ye cried so bitterly. She didn't know why.

Xie Wanqing immediately stopped crying and reached out with her small hand to wipe away the tears on Madame Ye's face, saying, "Mother, don't cry anymore, it will hurt your body. It will be her fault. "

The mother and daughter pair would definitely one day recognize each other. Calling her mother in broad daylight was Xie Wanqing's wish for two lifetimes, and when she thought of this, her hatred for Concubine Fang and Xie Wanyun became even deeper!

"Oh right, there are many buddhist beads that are sold to pilgrims in Hanshan Temple." As he spoke, he took out the buddhist beads from his sleeve and handed them over.

Madame Ye has always believed in Buddha ever since she married into the Marquis Anyang's Mansion, she knows this very well.

"You've troubled yourself." When the Madame Ye heard her say that she had bought a few strings, she did not reject her.

If Xie Wanqing had only bought a string for her, she would not have taken it, even though she was the legitimate mistress, Concubine Fang was still Xie Wanqing's mother after all. Even though she liked Xie Wanqing, she would not forget her own mother no matter how close she was with him.

Receiving the buddhist beads in his hand, it was smooth and exquisite, almost as if it had been carried over the years. Madame Ye did not suspect much either, she only thought that it was the things sold for Hanshan Temple.

The two talked for a good while before Xie Wanqing finally left.

Returning to the courtyard, Xie Wanqing once again went to see Concubine Fang.

"Xianqing is back." Concubine Fang seemed to be surprised to see her, but quickly recovered. She smiled and said, "Those servants, once they found out that you were coming back, they didn't notify Aunt. Otherwise, Aunt would have gone to the door to pick you up already."

She was afraid that at this moment, she was curious in her heart why Xie Wanqing was still standing in front of her before she died.

Xie Wanqing knew that she was putting on an act and she accompanied her.

She said angrily, "It was so close to the end of the day that I wouldn't be able to see you again tonight."

"Oh? "Why is that?" The Concubine Fang didn't seem to know at all as she led her to sit down cordially.

Xie Wanqing then explained the matter of him running into a bandit on the way here, adding fuel to the fire. After that, he changed the topic and said: "It's all thanks to General's Wife coming to burn incense today that I was saved."

"So that's how it is." The Concubine Fang touched her head and said, "Shiqing is startled, let me get the kitchen to cook a bowl of Soul-Concentrating Soup for you in a while."

"Does Aunt not want to know what happened to the bandits?" Xie Wanqing continued to ask, as though she was addicted to telling stories.

What did the fate of those people have to do with her? They were all Death Soldiers who were willing to pay with their lives. If he was caught, he would commit suicide, so the Concubine Fang was not worried at all.

But since Xie Wanqing wanted to speak, she went along with the conversation: "What happened to those bandits in the end?"

"They're all dead. Some were killed by the General Mansion guards, and some committed suicide. "But it's fine. The yamen will find out eventually. Grandmother said that she will find out everything." Xie Wanqing said happily.

She looked carefully at Concubine Fang's face and saw that she was startled for a moment.

"These bandits are unforgivable. It would be better if they died." Concubine Fang seemed to be happy for her, "It's good that nothing happened to Xianqing."

"En!" Xie Wanqing nodded, as if she had thought of something, and said to Yue Xin: "Where's the buddhist bead that I bought for Aunt at Hanshan Temple?"

Yue Xin took out the Buddha beads and gave it to her.

"Aunt, this was bought by Ye Qingqing at the Hanshan Temple. It's said that a high monk has enlightened himself on this, and is able to avoid all evils. Aunt must wear it on your body at all times." Xie Wanqing passed it over to him ingratiatingly.

The Concubine Fang did not believe in Buddha, if she believed in Buddha, she would not be so venomous. It was only because she liked the old mistress that she was gradually wearing a string of buddhist beads on her hand.

However, Xie Wanqing did not care about all that. She just pretended that she did not know: "The monks at the temple said that this buddhist bead can guarantee the safety of the people and also stop the evil thoughts in my heart. Those villains will not have a good ending, the monks said that they will enter the eighteen levels of hell, Aunt, what do you say?"

Concubine Fang was terrified by her every word, but she had already done so much. What was there to be afraid of? Was she supposed to be a good person that was trampled under her feet for the rest of her life?

Concubine Fang would never be willing to live such a life.

As a result, she was no longer afraid. She reached out to take the Buddha bead, and then put it on her hand in front of Xie Wanqing, and said: "This aunt knows that the late Qing is extremely filial."

Seeing this, Xie Wanqing thought to himself, as expected of the Concubine Fang, being able to remain calm this quickly. Even though she had done something shameful, she didn't panic at all. No wonder she was in such a miserable state in her previous life.

Thus, he brought the servant girl back.

At night, Xie Wanqing took off her clothes and sat on the bedside as she helped to comb her hair. Mama Zeng waited at the side with restraint.

"Does Mama know why I called you here?" Xie Wanqing said.

"This old servant is stupid, I wonder what Miss intends." Mama Zeng replied with his head bowed.

How could she not know that Mama Zeng was an old man by the side of Madame Ye. She had seen all sorts of things in the past few years, so she could be considered an intelligent person.

Xie Wanqing knew that the other party was pretending to be confused, but she was not angry. Mama Zeng was gifted to her by Madame Ye, she would become her right-hand woman in the future.

"Today I gave mother the buddhist beads, does Mama have any doubts?" she asked.

She told Madame Ye that she had bought many buddha beads at Hanshan Temple, but that was not true. Hanshan Temple sold buddhist beads, but she did not buy the string that she had given Madame Ye. Du Fa had personally given it to her before she left. Mama Zeng was watching by the side, how could he not know? Thus, when she handed the buddhist beads to Madame Ye today, Mama Zeng was at the side hesitating.

It was only after Xie Wanqing looked at her a few times that she swallowed back her words.

"This old servant does have a question." Seeing her ask that, Mama Zeng knew that he could not hide it from her, so he answered honestly.

In the past half month, with regards to Hanshan Temple, Xie Wanqing had diligently read Buddhist scriptures every day, and she had never been the least bit picky about food and residences. Even an old granny like her, who had eaten vegetarian food for half a month, felt that it was light, let alone those guards who would occasionally have people request for leave to go down the mountain to feast, and would even have to pack up for half a day's worth of food on their way back. He also asked if he could bring some food up for Xie Wanqing, but she rejected all of them.

It could be seen how determined Xie Wanqing was.

Just this point was enough to make Mama Zeng have a whole new level of respect for him.

"Master Du Fa usually wears that string of buddhist beads. Within this Marquis Anyang's Mansion, I saw that mother was the most pious to Buddha, so I gave the buddhist beads to her for no other reason. You don't have to panic." Xie Wanqing comforted her.

When Mama Zeng thought about Xie Wanqing's performance today after encountering danger, she knew in her heart that this was no ordinary master.

To be able to express her loyalty so quickly, Xie Wanqing felt somewhat uncomfortable.

She said that while listening to her, there were still a lot of people who were biting back. As such, Xie Wanqing was not optimistic, she said softly: "Since Mama followed me, she is my servant. I am currently in a storm, so Mama should know about it."

Mama Zeng followed her for a few days, so she naturally knew of this, but she didn't think that Xie Wanqing herself would know, so she said: "This old servant is willing to go through fire and water for Second Miss."

"Yes." Seeing that, Xie Wanqing did not force her, and waved her off. He would look at the rest later.

Early in the morning on the second day, Mama Xin sent a message over. Concubine Fang and Xie Wanyun were grounded in their own courtyard, and were not allowed to leave.

Xie Wanqing felt refreshed hearing this, she even used an extra bowl for breakfast.

Xie Wanyun, on the other hand, smashed her teacup angrily.

"On what basis! What right do you have to lock me up?! " Xie Wanyun only felt unwillingness and anger attacking her from her chest, straight to her head.

Yesterday, when she found out that Xie Wanqing had returned safely, she was filled with anger. She originally wanted to settle the score with Concubine Fang today, but found out that even Concubine Fang had their feet banned.

How could she be willing to accept this?

Since the Mama Feng was already dead, then wouldn't it just be right to eliminate Xie Wanqing along with her? If the madame had investigated, she would have investigated the matter of the two men's lives being mixed together. They would then stir up some trouble, not afraid of being found out.
