He just did not know when Xie Wanqing saw through all these. Yue Xin thought like this, but she did not ask. The less she knew, the longer she would live.
"Never mind, you can put the Buddha statue on the table over there. You can leave now." Xie Wanqing leaned on the reclining chair in the room, picked up a book, and started reading.
Yue Xin knew that she had her own thoughts, so she did not ask anymore. She placed the Buddhist scripture down the box and turned to leave.
A good night's dream.
The next day, the Concubine Fang came early.
"Sanguine, it's time to get up. Today is the old lady's birthday celebration. If you go too late, it won't be good to anger the old lady."
Xie Wanqing opened her hazy eyes and muttered to herself. "Why is Aunt here so early?
Yue Xin and Mama Zeng were waiting beside the bed. Actually, they had already called for Xie Wanqing early in the morning. At that time, she opened her bright eyes and looked at them, saying, "It's still early, auntie still hasn't come to call for me, how can I get out of bed?"
As he spoke, he turned over and fell asleep again.
Yue Xin and Mama Zeng were both smart people, hearing this she did not need to be called over. One went to the door to guard and the other went to the courtyard to do their work.
Logically speaking, it was already a little late to wake Xie Wanqing up now. Today was the old lady's birthday, so their children and grandchildren would definitely dress up properly so as to not be disrespectful. Furthermore, it was to not lose face for Marquis Anyang's Mansion in front of the guests.
But at that moment, if Xie Wanqing washed up and put on her clothes, it would probably be too late.
Yue Xin and Mama Zeng were both sweating profusely in their hearts, but when they saw that Xie Wanqing was still tied up on her bed, they did not dare to make a sound.
"You, you … Hurry up, the madame will be angry if you wait any longer." I was originally waiting for you outside, who knew that you would still be sleeping in your bed, what the hell are the Mama and maids doing in the courtyard? " Then, he turned to look at Mama Zeng and Yue Xin.
Originally, she came late on purpose, but she had to blame the people around Xie Wanqing.
"The two of you, hurry up and go to the kitchen to hurry up. Is Second Miss's preparation ready?
Mama Zeng was someone close to Madame Ye, and was sent to take care of Xie Wanqing. This was because she was a master of the Marquis Anyang's Mansion, and was merely a concubine, yet she dared to go beyond her authority and scold him. Mama Zeng was angry, but she was an old man in the end, she raised her eyes and looked at Xie Wanqing, instantly understanding the meaning behind them and quickly bowed and left.
"Aunt, Yue Xin is still dressing me, she can't leave." Xie Wanqing pulled Concubine Fang and said coquettishly.
"There's no need for her. Auntie will personally dress you." He pulled her to her feet and led her to the dressing table.
Seeing that, Xie Wanqing did not reject, allowing Concubine Fang to comb her hair. Yue Xin obediently withdrew herself.
At this time, only Concubine Fang and Xie Wanqing were left in the room, along with the servants who came with him.
Xie Wanqing sat in front of the dresser, while the Concubine Fang lovingly combed her hair. The servant stood at the side of the table, looked around, and quickly took out a box that was exactly the same as the one Xie Wanqing brought back yesterday. With lightning speed, she dropped a bag from the box on the table.
The Buddha statue that Concubine Fang gave her was not big in the first place, so she picked it up and held it in her palm. Therefore, no one noticed that the maid hid the same box in her sleeve.
"Who is in charge of the Second Miss's cage?" Seeing that she had completed her task, the maid walked to the door and asked.
When Concubine Fang heard her, she knew that they were done. She quickly combed Xie Wanqing's hair and asked: "What kind of clothes does Xiqing want to wear today?"
The young man outside replied, "Yes, servant."
"Open the Second Miss's cage and find a beautiful piece of clothing."
Little Nian went to answer.
Concubine Fang found a bright red dress for her, but Xie Wanqing's appearance was pure and gentle, if she wore it, it would be unfitting of her. Furthermore, she was just a Daughter of Concubine, and there was a sister on top of her, but she was wearing bright red, which was simply outrageous. Today was the madame's birthday, and it wasn't hers. If she wore it like that, it would only make the madame unhappy.
As expected, Concubine Fang didn't even think about setting a trap in front of her at all times.
In the past few days, Xie Wanqing had grown closer to Concubine Fang, and also became more lively, vaguely becoming more or less the same as before. The remaining half of the suspicion in Concubine Fang's heart also disappeared, looks like Mama Feng was indeed doing this previously.
Concubine Fang was a lot more vigilant than her, so she pulled her to the side to help her put on her clothes.
Xie Wanqing was naturally unwilling. She covered her stomach and said: "Aunt, Ye Qing seemed to have caught a cold last night. I don't feel well in my stomach."
She frowned, looking very upset.
Concubine Fang thought that it was true and asked worriedly: "Should I call the doctor over to take a look?" It would be best if Xie Wanqing was sick and could not go. If she was absent from this meeting, it would only make the people and guests of the household feel that she was not sensible.
"No need, just a short rest for the evening sun is enough. Aunty should go first, so Grandmother won't be happy later." she urged.
Concubine Fang was happy, and said: "Why don't you stop? You are still young and your body is more important, the old madam is too many to notice you at all. If you ask, Aunt will help you speak. You can just lie there peacefully. "
If she doesn't go, the Concubine Fang will definitely be very happy. But if she did not go, there was no telling what Fang Yifan was going to say. I'm afraid that one thing after another will be placed on her head.
Therefore, Xie Wanqing had to go, but not with the Concubine Fang.
"Auntie, let's go. Grandmother will be resting for a while. Grandmother will be speaking on my behalf." She looked worried.
Concubine Fang said yes, and left with her people while letting her rest.
Just as Concubine Fang left, Yue Xin and Mama Zeng came back. Yue Xin picked a light yellow set of clothes for her to change into, causing the young lad by her side to want to speak but held back. She held back for a long time, and only when Xie Wanqing was about to leave did she make up her mind, kneeling down with a thump. Just now, this servant saw the servants of the Concubine Fang … "I changed the box on the table."
She was in charge of the box in Xie Wanqing's room, so Yue Xin made her wait outside the door every day. She had come to this courtyard for a long time, but she was not familiar with Concubine Fang, and had only seen him a few times. Concubine Fang was Xie Wanqing's mother, but their relationship did not seem to be close.
Today was Old Mistress' birthday, it was not surprising that Concubine Fang suddenly came, but she drove both Yue Xin and Mama Zeng away, Xiao Nian was curious, and felt that something was amiss.
She secretly peeked inside and saw that the maid quickly changed the box on the table.
However, she was also afraid that Xie Wanqing would punish her. After all, Concubine Fang was her biological mother, how could a mere servant like her be able to stand up to him?
However, if she did not say it out loud, if there was something bad in the box, she would not report it. Little Nian's mind struggled for a long time, but in the end, she still spoke the truth.
"Xiaonian, you did well." She heard Xie Wanqing say this.
In the past few months that she had been in her courtyard, Xie Wanqing had never asked her to do anything other than managing the boxes. Now that she dared to speak of this matter, it showed that she was still loyal to him.
"Open the box and take a look."
Yue Xin stepped forward to open it. Surprisingly, there were some broken pieces inside, and the original Buddhist scripture had disappeared without a trace. She quickly showed it to Xie Wanqing.
Xie Wanqing glanced at it, but she was not surprised at all. In her previous life, Concubine Fang also came today to wake her up, and it was probably at that time that she switched her box.
It was just that she was stupid in her previous life, and thought that Yue Xin did not manage to keep the Buddha statues well, so she scolded him immediately. Since it was the Old Mistress' birthday, she did not dare to see blood, so Yue Xin was thrown into the woodshed and imprisoned for two days.
Thinking back to what happened back then, Xie Wanqing felt as if his heart was being twisted by a blade, as though her heart was being fried into pieces in a frying pan.
Mama Zeng and Xiao Nian were shocked, but they had not enough time, Xie Wanqing only had enough time to instruct Yue Xin to bring the box on the table, and the two of them rushed out.
Xiao Nian knelt on the ground and watched the two of them leave. No matter what, he could not understand why Xie Wanqing brought the pieces of debris.
Mama Zeng looked at their backs with a heavy expression. Second Miss did not want to suffer a loss, who knew what sort of trouble he would cause today's birthday.
