This time, Xie Kai was even more confused. Just how did she make that move? Perhaps he truly did not have any talent.

As Xie Wanqing was a girl, Xie Kai did not expect her to be outstanding. Therefore, he did not talk about her, but only teased her so that she would not have anyone else play chess in the future.

Hearing that, Xie Wanqing looked at him angrily, "Father, Mister said that as long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to achieve your goal. Although my talent is not as good as Brother Huaixing's, I can still learn it. "

Xie Huaixing was a prodigy praised by all the gentlemen in the Shouxi School, and yet she dared to compete with him.

Hearing her words, Xie Kai felt that Tong Yan was naive, he pinched her face and said: "Alright, then Sanguine Qing will study hard, and will surpass you on another day. You bad little brother."

Since Xie Wanqing wanted to learn, he wouldn't stop her. One day, she would realize the difference and give up.

The father and daughter had a quiet, pleasant afternoon.

After dinner, Xie Kai returned.

Walking out of Xie Wanqing's courtyard, she saw that Concubine Fang was standing under the porch. The night wind was slightly cold, and the lantern emitted a faint yellow glow, shining on her face. Even after almost ten years, she still seemed like that year, with only the charm of a mature woman.

Xie Kai couldn't help but stop in his tracks for a moment.

"Master." Concubine Fang bowed to him, then lowered his head to reveal his snow-white neck.

In the end, Xie Kai decided to sleep in the Concubine Fang's courtyard.

"Why haven't I seen you these past few days?" Xie Kai asked.

Concubine Fang would usually send some tonics and soup to his study from time to time. He was too busy these few days, so she did not notice that Concubine Fang had not been there for a few days. Now that he saw her, she immediately thought of her.

Concubine Fang's red lips slightly parted, but just as she was about to speak, the servant girl beside her kneeled down with a 'putt'.

"Master, Aunt is being grounded!"

These words gave Xie Kai a shock, and he asked: "What's wrong?"

The madame had always been in charge of matters in the backyard. Xie Kai did not know what crime she had committed that caused his to be grounded.

"It's because of the matter of the Second Miss..." "When Second Miss almost had an incident that day, the old lady found out about it after returning. Somehow, she vented her anger on Aunt and Eldest Miss, and now, both of them are being grounded. Without the old lady's order, they are not allowed to take even a single step outside the courtyard."

"How could this be?" Furthermore, from what the servant said just now, it seemed that Xie Wanqing had played a role in this. It was just that the Concubine Fang and Xie Wanyun were Xie Wanqing's biological mother and her twin sister, how could she possibly tell the madame that she had harmed them?

"Master, you don't have to worry about me. The madame is the most impartial. It's just a moment of anger now. Just wait until her temper subsides a few days later." The Concubine Fang comforted him.

Xie Kai couldn't figure out what was going on, but seeing that Concubine Fang's eyes were red and trying to persuade him, she felt extremely wronged for her.

He pulled Concubine Fang's hand and said, "Tomorrow, I will go and plead for mercy from Mother. If she were to disappear, who knows how long she would wait. "It's her birthday the day after tomorrow. You and Ye Yiyun always have to come out to meet guests, she's already ten years old and in a few years time we will meet. You can't just stay in the manor and not see her."

When he saw Xie Wanqing today, he couldn't help but feel guilty towards his two daughters, which was why he thought of this.

Concubine Fang was moved to tears as she said: "Thank you, Old Master. I was careless and almost missed Eldest Miss."

Under the lantern, the more one looked at a beauty, the more beautiful it was. Concubine Fang was born beautiful, and now that she had cried so heavily, it made people feel even more pity for her.

Xie Kai reached out and hugged his tightly, consoling his in a soft voice.

The maidservant who had been kneeling on the ground had already tactfully retreated.

That night, the Spring Festival Gala was warmed by the red waves.

The next day, Xie Kai left after finishing breakfast.

"Aunt is indeed very lucky." The maid from last night tried to curry favor with him.

When they came back from Xie Wanqing's place, they had made preparations to send people to stall Xie Kai's Attendant and prevent others from telling them about his predicament. After the old lady's punishment, she would not be angry anymore. After that, he would definitely send someone to inform Xie Kai and he would definitely come to visit. With Xie Wanqing's courtyard being in her courtyard, she would definitely be able to keep him here.

What happened next, was about Xie Kai and the old lady.

As for her, she only needed to sit in the courtyard and wait.

It had to be said that this was indeed a good plan.

"Still not working?" Concubine Fang pretended to be angry.

The maidservant naturally noticed, she bowed and said, "This servant will go right now. Please do not be angry, or else the old master will come to coax you again."

"I think you're being too unrestrained recently. You even dare to tease me!" Concubine Fang lifted her eyelids and looked at her.

"Yes, yes, yes, this servant is presumptuous. This servant knows her wrongs and will now go back to work." As he spoke, he slipped away.

Xie Wanqing was not too surprised when she found out that Xie Kai was staying at the Concubine Fang's house. She was currently living in the same courtyard as Concubine Fang, and Concubine Fang would definitely please her, now that she was grounded, if she wanted to find help, only Xie Kai was aware of it.

"Yue Xin, come with me to greet the old lady." Xie Wanqing called for people, and the two of them rushed to the Old Mistress' courtyard.

When they arrived, sure enough, Xie Kai was already there.

The old mistress sat up angrily, while Xie Kai looked frustrated and impatient.

"What's the matter? Why are Grandmother and Father troubled?" After greeting the two, Xie Wanqing asked curiously.

"What else? Your father wanted me to release Concubine Fang and your sister from their confinement." The madame snorted as she placed the teacup on the table.

Xie Kai did not expect the old lady to be so unwilling to send him off, he had already asked the Concubine Fang and Xie Wanyun why they were grounded, the old lady said that it was because Xie Wanqing was going to the Hanshan Temple to pray for her, and originally, she wanted to ask the Concubine Fang and Xie Wanyun to go together, but the two of them said that they had matters to attend to, and only Xie Wanqing was left.

Who knew that they would encounter danger on the way back? Xie Wanqing almost lost her life, and the old lady felt that if there were more people going there, then there was a chance that she could beat those bandits with the large number of guards she brought along.

In Xie Kai's eyes, this was nothing more than venting his anger.

She was so angry that Xie Wanyun and Concubine Fang were not willing to pray for him. Furthermore, when Xie Wanqing met with danger later on, the old lady had vented her anger on the two of them.

This was completely unreasonable!

He knew that the madame had always been the one to ascend the throne and despise people like the concubine. However, he did not expect her to be so unreasonable this time. As a junior, he naturally could not refute the madame's actions.

He could only advise: "Mother, you don't have to rush to get angry these few days. Night Yun is already ten years old this year, and in a few more years she will have reached the age of talking about marriage, so it's about time for her to meet with the other wives. Concubine Fang is her birth mother, if she doesn't appear at Mother's birthday banquet tomorrow, it's inevitable that people will criticize her."

Seeing that the madame's expression had eased a little, he continued, "No matter what, Ye Yun is still your granddaughter. I believe that mother wishes for her to marry a good family."

It wasn't important for Xie Wanyun to marry a good person. What was important was how much help she could bring to the Marquis Anyang's Mansion.

The old lady squinted her thinking, Xie Kai's words were reasonable, she had already thought of it a long time ago, the reason why she was so unwilling to let go was because she wanted to wait for Xie Wanqing to come.

After all, the Concubine Fang and Xie Wanyun's forbidden technique was related to Xie Wanqing.

If she were to let go of her promise today, it would be hard to avoid the grudge in Xie Wanqing's heart. The reason why they had given the order to ban foot in the first place was to give Concubine Fang and the others a warning, and the other reason was merely to give Xie Wanqing an explanation.

Concubine Fang would definitely ask Xie Kai for help if he was trapped, and if Xie Wanqing had a good sense, she would naturally know what she had to do.

"Grandmother, what father said is reasonable. For the sake of elder sister, I would like to request grandma to temporarily release them from their confinement." Xie Wanqing answered.

Xie Kai looked at her with gratification: "Xinqing, you're sensible now."

Xie Wanqing maintained her posture of speaking to the old lady, and did not answer.

She said that she had temporarily released them from their confinement, but did not say that the madame would release them after her birthday.

As expected, the old mistress understood what she meant and said with narrowed eyes, "Since all of you are asking for it, let them come out for a couple of days."

He then instructed the Mama Xin to leave.

Xie Kai did not expect the old lady to be so calculative, but he could not say anything else, he just thanked her and left.
