Just as expected, Xie Wanqing met Xie Wanyun on the way to the old lady's courtyard.

Xie Wanqing was in a hurry as she led Yue Xin away, but Xie Wanyun was moving leisurely, looking like a lady from a noble family. She was clearly about to be late, but she was not in a hurry at all.

Xie Wanqing and Yue Xin immediately rushed in front and crashed into each other. Yue Xin did not stop her footsteps for a moment as she crashed into Lv Yi and fell to the ground together. Two boxes of gifts rolled out from their sleeves.

Two identical boxes.

In her previous life, Xie Wanyun gave her an identical gift, another Buddha statue. Xie Wanyun had gone there earlier than her, so she had handed over the gifts first.

When it was Xie Wanqing's turn, all that was left was a pile of scraps.

The first person giving away an exquisite and small Buddha statue was a trick. If the second person were to give it away again, then there would be suspicion of not studying carefully. She had even mentioned behind Xie Wanyun that she would give him a Buddha statue, this book made people feel like it wasn't new. Now that the good Buddha statue had been reduced to a pile of scraps, the madame was even more infuriated.

Now that she thought about it, it should be that Concubine Fang gave her box back to Xie Wanyun after changing it, so even if she was harmed, she would still stomp on her.

Therefore, Xie Wanqing had purposely rushed over to Xie Wanyun's side today in order to change out of her box. The previous scene of her being mocked and scolded by the madame was now Xie Wanyun's turn.

Yue Xin quickly picked up the box to apologize to Xie Wanyun, and Xie Wanqing also apologized: "I was disrespectful, and left in a rush, if I left late, I might get scolded by Grandmother." She looked anxious, but before Xie Wanyun could reply, she continued to speak: "Elder sister has a large number of people, I think she will not bother with us."

After saying that, he quickly brought Yue Xin and left.

Lv Yi picked up the box on the ground and stuffed it into her sleeves, "This servant was too careless." She admitted it wrong.

The Buddha statue inside the box was for the madame. Nothing could go wrong. If it was broken, it would take her life.

Xie Wanyun glanced at her, then thought back to how Xie Wanqing had acted in a hurry just now. In the middle of autumn, she was actually sweating profusely, and the hairpin on his head had become crooked. Even if she had rushed over to the old lady's side earlier, she was still disheveled.

As expected, he was still the same useless idiot from before. Xie Wanyun suddenly believed what the Concubine Fang had said. It was all because of the Mama Feng, maybe her instincts from the past were all too suspicious.

Thinking about that, she turned and continued to walk into the Old Mistress' courtyard, Lv Yi quickly followed.

Xie Wanqing took Yue Xin and left in a hurry, and very quickly, they reached the carriage just as she was about to be called out. The crown, which had already been tidied up by Yue Xin, looked like she was panting slightly as she stood at the back of the long line.

This time, it was the madame's birthday. The bastard Daughter of Concubine who had already left home brought their children back to celebrate their birthday. In an instant, they formed a long line at the door.

On one hand, this showed that the descendants of the Marquis Anyang's Mansion were flourishing, and on the other hand, it pleased the madame. Those bastard Daughter of Concubine s had fished out some benefits that would make them happy for a long time, other people wanted to get close to their relatives, but for them, the Marquis Anyang's Mansion was a form of blood relation.

The Countess was well aware of what these people were thinking, but she wasn't opposed to them congratulating her every year. As long as it was beneficial to her Marquis Anyang's Mansion, she wouldn't reject them.

Most of them were small officials, but they didn't have any proper gifts. Thus, the madame just sat there with a kind smile, and nodded her head to show that she understood. She didn't say anything else.

Xie Wanqing was at the back of the line, following the group. When the Concubine Fang saw her, her eyes revealed a look of shock, thinking that she was not coming.

This time, Xie Wanyun arrived later than Xie Wanqing. They could only wait behind her.

Concubine Fang stood at the side of the old lady and said, "Tonight Qing and Ye Yun have prepared a present for you, I hope it will please the old lady."

The old mistress narrowed her eyes and nodded, but did not say anything.

Xie Wanqing bowed and said, "Granddaughter wishes Grandmother luck like the East Sea and a life longer than Nanshan. "Year after year, there is today. Year after year, there is today."

Yue Xin stood out and handed the box over. Mama Xin took it and prepared to put it away. The Concubine Fang opened her mouth and said, "I don't know what kind of good gift Xianqing gave us, but why don't we open it and let everyone take a look?"

Madame Ye and Madame Huang were not to be liked by the madame, therefore, they did not speak much at this kind of occasion, while the Concubine Fang occupied Xie Kai's favor, and was rather favored by the bastard Daughter of Concubine, thus her suggestion, was immediately echoed by some people.

The Old Mistress did not stop them and waved for Mama Xin to open the box for them.

"Wow, this Buddha statue is so exquisite, the Second Miss is so filial."

When everyone saw the small Buddha statue in the box, they started to discuss about it. They were all praising Xie Wanqing's filial piety.

All of the rewards that Xie Wanyun had received in his previous life should be on her now, and she wondered what kind of expression she would have if she knew about it.

Concubine Fang, who was at the side, was already shocked. She had clearly already changed the box, how could this be? How could it be a perfect Buddha statue?

She glanced sideways at the maidservant behind her. The maidservant was also at a loss.

"Thank you for your concern."

The madame also liked the Buddha statue and complimented her.

Xie Wanqing immediately thanked: "This is something that granddaughter should have done.

He then continued without waiting for the others to react: "Zhiqing stayed in the Hanshan Temple for half a month, and prayed for Grandmother and her Marquis Anyang's Mansion every day. She had the good fortune to obtain a string of blessed beads from the Protector of the Kingdom, and today, she wants to offer them to Grandmother together."

Yue Xin took out the buddhist beads from her sleeves and handed them over.

It was the bright pearl of the Protector of the Realm, and for a moment everyone stared at it in envy, envy, or suspicion.

The Heavenly Imperial Guardians had been a huge sensation recently. Although he had stayed in the Hanshan Temple, there were still many nobles who had gone to search for him, but no one had seen him.

Not to mention getting something to do with the State Protector. The teahouse and tavern outside was filled with gossip and rumors about this mysterious Protector of the Country. The Daughter of Concubine disciples who were sent out had heard quite a lot about him.

Now that Xie Wanqing said that she was holding something that the Heavenly Imperial Guardians had used before, everyone could not help but have a bit of suspicion, but naturally did not dare say anything.

As long as the madame liked it, it was true, even if it wasn't true.

The Protector of the Kingdom lived in seclusion. Even if he knew that someone gave him a string of buddhist beads under his name, he wouldn't cause trouble for such a small matter like Marquis Anyang's Mansion.

If the previous buddhist statue had pleased the madame, then this string of buddhist beads had greatly increased her level of cultivation. As a result, the old lady revealed a rare smile of joy and said, "Grandmother has not loved you for nothing."

Xie Wanqing pursed her lips and smiled.

When the Concubine Fang saw her in the limelight, she became anxious, but for some reason, she became slightly worried. Before she could think about it further, Xie Wanyun had already stepped forward to offer her birthday wishes to the madame.

Concubine Fang felt a surge of anger rush to her throat. She wanted to shout to stop her, but she held herself back. She could only signal with her eyes.

Helpless, Lv Yi was lowering her head and holding the gift box, so she didn't notice Concubine Fang.

Mama Xin took the box in her hands and returned.

"Sister must have gifted him something good to broaden her horizons." Xie Wanqing asked with a curious expression.

Xie Wanyun swept a glance at her from the corner of her eyes, and said indifferently: "It's only an ordinary thing, not comparable to little sister's Buddha beads. Little sister, you don't have to be curious. "

"But everyone saw the gift I just sent." Xie Wanqing was unrelenting and felt wronged.

The old lady had just received her buddhist beads and was just about to be happy when she saw that her lips were pouting unhappily. She simply ordered the Mama Xin: "Then let's open it and take a look.

Concubine Fang only felt that the word "don't open" was rushing out of her lungs, but she could only watch silently.

The box opened to reveal a pile of debris.

"As expected, it is an ordinary item." The little kid from the Daughter of Concubine who was watching the show teased.
