"Xianqing, come over to Grandmother's place." The old lady waved at her.
Hearing this, Xie Wanqing went over obediently, and just as she got close to him, she was pulled into her embrace by the old lady, "Qing Qing, your father dotes on Concubine Fang, but grandmother loves you. In the future, I want to find the best husband in the world for you." the madame said, stroking the top of her hair.
With a face full of kindness and love, she did not resemble the old lady who, in her previous life, would not care even if she died in the Prince Liang's Mansion.
"Thank you, grandma, for your love." Xie Wanqing lowered his head to express her thanks, then raised his head and mischievously said: "Xi Qing is still young, don't think about it."
In this life, she didn't want to hand the marriage over to the madame. It was only a matter of time before she regained her status as a Direct Daughter, but at that time, she could not be a young miss who could only be held in the hands of her Marquis Anyang's Mansion.
The madame's words were a test to see what she meant. She was willing to rely on him, and at the same time, fawn over him with marriage. If it was any other person, they would have already thanked him profusely, but Xie Wanqing didn't think so.
The madame saw her perfunctory reply and the smile in her eyes disappeared. She only said that she was tired and let her go.
The moment Xie Wanqing stepped into the courtyard, she saw Concubine Fang sitting under a tree. She was wearing light yellow clothes and her complexion was rosy. It didn't seem like she had been grounded for several days at all.
"Xianqing is back." Concubine Fang affectionately called out to her, and got up to hold her hand. Xie Wanqing revealed a smile and called out: "Shiqing misses Aunt.
Concubine Fang had been grounded for the past few days, and never stepped foot outside her own courtyard. In order to prevent her from making a move again, the madame punished her so that she could not leave her room. She also arranged many scriptures for her to copy. As for Xie Wanqing, she obediently listened to the doctor's orders to not come out of her house. As a result, they had not seen her for the past few days.
Previously, other than Mama Feng, the Concubine Fang had also thought that Xie Wanqing would return to being as foolish and cowardly as before, and half of the doubts in his heart had disappeared. Now that she was so close to him, half of the doubts in his heart had disappeared as she only felt that Xie Wanqing was still the obedient and weak Xie Wanqing in the past.
The two of them sat by the stone table and the Concubine Fang spoke: "Tomorrow is the old lady's birthday celebration. Do you know?"
It would be weird if Xie Wanqing knew this, she hated the madame the most. Later on, when she saw that the Countess was trying to curry favor with him, Mama Feng was only instigated by her.
Xie Wanqing saw that she was eagerly looking at him, so she simply followed her heart and shook her head: "Grandmother's birthday is coming up so quickly?"
"Look at you, aunty knows that you don't remember anything. You only remember to play around all day." Concubine Fang poked her forehead.
"Auntie spared Wanqing, right? Wanqing knows her mistake." She said coquettishly, feeling wronged.
Since Concubine Fang wanted to act with her, then she would play with him until the end. Who knew who would be the one laughing at the end then?
Concubine Fang tenderly grabbed her hand and said: "Forget it, this aunt won't worry about who else but you. Aunt has already chosen it for you. "
As he spoke, he gave a look to the maidservant beside him.
Very quickly, a Buddha statue was brought over. The Buddha statue was exquisite and exquisite, and it was easy to like it just by looking at it.
In her previous life, Concubine Fang had told her the same thing and even prepared a present for her. Logically speaking, the madame believed in the Buddha, so she should have just given it to him. Coincidentally, on the second day, a pile of debris was unearthed in front of the hall full of guests.
Everyone was shocked. The guests whispered amongst themselves as they discussed amongst themselves.
The old mistress' face darkened immediately. Her eyes shot towards her like sharp swords. She wanted nothing more than to tear her to shreds.
It was a mockery to say that the madame, despite her vicious heart, still believed in the Buddha despite all her scheming.
When the Buddha statue shattered, she felt that it was Xie Wanqing's great disrespect and purposely showed her a pile of broken pieces. Just then, the Attendant from the second house stood up, pointed at Xie Wanqing and said that she had an evil spirit around her, not only did she harm herself, she could not even suppress the Buddha statue, which meant that in the future, she would be dragged into the entire Marquis Anyang's Mansion, and that she should be sent to a nunnery.
After the Second Branch stood up to speak up for her, Xie Kai also said that she should not believe these rumors, which was why he allowed her to continue staying in the Palace. But from then on, Xie Wanqing was someone who everyone avoided. It was as if the closer she got to her, the more she would take their lives.
Xie Wanqing thought about what happened in her previous life and looked at the face of the Concubine Fang that was just inches away from her. The scenes of the past were still vivid in her mind, but she remained abnormally calm.
"Thank you so much for thinking for me, I can't thank you enough." She smiled sweetly.
Concubine Fang should have been happy to see this, but for some reason, she felt a faint unease in her heart.
The two of them chatted for a while longer before Xie Wanqing called out that she was tired and wanted to go back to her room to sleep. In any case, in the Concubine Fang's eyes, she had always been a willful and willful person.
Concubine Fang originally wanted to keep her for food, but now that she was so sleepy, she decided not to bring it up anymore. It would anger her so much that she wouldn't even want a present later.
"Miss, this Buddha statue …" Yue Xin hugged the Buddha statue that he brought back from the Concubine Fang, and for a moment, he didn't know where to place it.
Xie Wanqing indeed did not prepare any gifts, but she did not necessarily need to accept the items from the Concubine Fang.
But Xie Wanqing was her master, so it was not good for Yue Xin to say all these, so he obediently brought the things back to ask her.
"Where do you think it would be better?" Xie Wanqing's face did not look serious at all, instead, it was filled with indifference.
"Miss," Yue Xin felt that she had no choice but to remind her, "This servant thinks it's better not to use this statue of Buddha." Putting aside whether there would be any problems with the Concubine Fang's things, even if there weren't, she still felt that there wouldn't be any good things.
Previously, Xie Wanqing had been on guard against everything, but now, she had openly taken over the things inside the Concubine Fang, and even brought them to give to the Old Granny.
Her entire life, had been placed on Xie Wanqing's shoulders. In the past, she had endured because she still had a way out, but now, she was just a grasshopper on the same line as Xie Wanqing. Whoever got into trouble with him would be screwed, so she could not help but feel anxious.
Xie Wanqing only had the thought in her heart. She put away the smile that was originally meant to tease her, and asked: "Yue Xin, what do you think about Concubine Fang treat me like?"
Yue Xin didn't dare speak for a while. Concubine Fang was Xie Wanqing's mother, and normally she could be considered to be extremely doted on.
Take the matter of Xie Wanqing encountering danger a few days ago, Madame Ye and Madame Huang had both come to visit her a few times. However, Concubine Fang and Xie Wanqing, who lived in the same courtyard, had never come to see her. Even though the madame had ordered her not to leave the house, but because of her suspected safety, not to mention being punished by the madame, she had to take a look at the punishment or send a maid as a form of sympathy.
But neither.
In the past, when Yue Xin was by Madame Ye's side, Xie Wanqing had continuously stirred up trouble, while the older sister of the same mother was very understanding and gentle, no one in the house would praise her.
Others might think that the Concubine Fang doted on Xie Wanqing, but from Yue Xin's point of view, it was not necessarily so. Xie Wanqing was like a child who had been killed, just to show off how outstanding her sister was.
However, Yue Xin did not know what Xie Wanqing thought of all these.
"Pet?" Hearing that, Xie Wanqing scoffed, and said with a hint of coldness in her voice: "Not necessarily. Yue Xin, you should know to support us in killing, right? "
It was obviously a question, but Xie Wanqing's tone sounded as if she was just describing it.
Yue Xin already knew that Xie Wanqing was different from the other children, if not, she would not have given her life to him.
To take care of himself, only he could take care of himself. Even Concubine Fang, his birth mother, could not rely on him. Yue Xin had seen too many of these cases of mother and daughter being slaughtered within her Marquis Anyang's Mansion, so she was not moved at all. She was only a little worried for Xie Wanqing, afraid that she would be sad.
