The color of blood on Xie Wanyun's face immediately retreated, and turned as white as paper.

How … how could this be? What about the Buddha statue?

She remembered that when she bumped into Xie Wanqing on the road, she suddenly looked up.

Xie Wanqing maintained her obedient smile as she stood at the side, seeing her look over, he raised her eyes and asked: "Big sister, what are you looking at me for?"

"It's you, it's you!" Xie Wanyun couldn't suppress the shock and anger in his heart, and pointed at her as she shouted.

The Concubine Fang had told her her plan before, that Xie Wanqing's gift box had already been made into her hands, and would definitely make her lose face for the Old Mistress' birthday, but just now, Xie Wanqing received praise from everyone, and also received the Old Mistress' love.

Xie Wanyun originally thought that it was another one of Concubine Fang's mistakes, so she didn't mind. Who would have thought that something would go wrong with her present?

It must have been when they collided that both their gift boxes had been destroyed. Regardless of whether Xie Wanqing did it on purpose or not, it was her fault!

Xie Wanqing's face was pale white, her eyes were cold, as though the person in front of her had a deep grudge against her.

"What's going on with this young miss?"

"That's right, that's right. Why would you take it out on yourself when you made a mistake?"

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, what kind of young miss is that, petty!"

Although there were a lot of concubines and Daughter of Concubine s on the side trying to curry favor with Xie Wanyun, they all had a few words to say, even if there were ten thousand people on the wall, some of them did not mind the big commotion, and were all discussing and whispering about the pile of trash that was gifted to the old lady.

After going out today, it was likely that another event would occur outside. The eldest granddaughter of Marquis Anyang's Mansion had gifted her with a pile of scraps on her birthday, so if these words were to spread, it would be enough for the people outside to add fuel to the fire for half a month.

"Elder sister, what do you mean? "I don't understand." Xie Wanqing looked at her blankly.

You changed my gift box!

Xie Wanyun wanted to shout these words with all her might in her heart, but she knew that if she said them out loud, it would only make the original situation worse.

If she had obediently admitted her wrongs, then it would be fine. But if Xie Wanqing was dragged into this, and she said that she had swapped her gift box with another, it would mean that she had dragged out two young misses in a row. Who knows what the rest of the s would say about them, or what Marquis Anyang's Mansion they would say.

The madame might be angry with the gift she gave, but if the matter had hurt Marquis Anyang's Mansion, it would not be so simple.

Therefore, no matter how wronged Xie Wanyun was, and how much she wanted to say that it was Xie Wanqing who had changed her things, she could only knock out his teeth and swallow them together. She knelt down and said, "Grandmother, forgive me, but I was a bit too hasty on my way here. I accidentally bumped into Little Sister Qing and the gift box fell onto the ground. It should … It should have been broken at that time. "

She had never felt so humiliated in front of so many people before, so she said every single word. Xie Wanyun felt as if someone was stabbing her with a knife time and time again, and she couldn't help but feel resentment towards Xie Wanqing.

Although she could not directly say that Xie Wanqing had exchanged for her things, she could not allow Xie Wanqing to clean herself either.

Their gift boxes were exactly the same. Once this matter was revealed, it would be none of her business what the others would think.

When the people at the side heard her words, they couldn't help but raise their heads and look at Xie Wanqing one after the other. The two of them gave the same gift box to each other, so if something fell out from Xie Wanyun, then it was extremely likely that Xie Wanqing's object would fall out as well. Maybe it was just one person's good luck.

The human imagination is enormous.

The Old Mistress also looked at Xie Wanqing.

"It was only because Xianqing was in a hurry that she bumped into elder sister. Xianqing knew she was in the wrong. Since Big Sister also gave her a Buddha statue, and now that Big Sister's present is broken, why don't I take my share as Big Sister's name. " Xie Wanqing lowered her head apologetically.

The others only felt that she was well-behaved and sensible, and was thinking for her sister. On the other hand, Xie Wanyun only knew how to shirk responsibility, and who was higher and who was lower.

How preposterous! Xie Wanyun clenched her teeth so hard that her teeth almost shattered.

It was clearly Xie Wanqing who took her things, but now she was still acting like a good person. If she really took Xie Wanqing's item into her name, it would make people feel that she would benefit from her sister's help for no reason, and even the Old Mistress would look down on him.

What Xie Wanyun lacked was a gift written in her name?

No.

What she needed was someone to grind Xie Wanqing's bones and scatter her ashes. It was a pity that this wish of hers could not be fulfilled right now.

"No need," Xie Wanyun coldly rejected, "Since it's your gift, then it's yours. How can I steal from little sister?"

She continued, "It was only a mistake on her part this time, which spoilt Grandmother's mood. No matter how Grandmother punished her, she would not complain."

As he spoke, he knelt there as if he was going to be dealt with.

"Forget it. Today is my birthday celebration. You can stand aside." The old mistress suppressed her anger and said.

If she were to punish Xie Wanyun on the spot, then who knows how the people outside would pass her down, a cold-blooded old lady who would punish her granddaughter on her birthday?

Xie Wanyun immediately expressed her gratitude, with an unsightly expression she got up from the ground and retreated to the side.

After the children were done with their gifts, everyone escorted the madame to the front yard. Only then did the distinguished officials and nobles who had come to congratulate her began to arrive one after another.

Everyone was congratulating the old lady, the old lady's face was filled with joy, one by one, she spoke with the noble women, as though Xie Wanyun's incident just now was just a dream and it had never happened.

After saying that, she went to find Madame Ye to chat with him. Madame Ye had a kind and kind personality, it was a good communication method, Madame Huang had a straightforward personality, she would never beat around the bush with her words, thus the two of them were very popular amongst the noble ladies.

The Concubine Fang brought Xie Wanyun and Xie Wanqing to follow closely behind the Madame Ye. They did not say anything and just pretended that they did not exist.

Xie Wanyun was already ten years old, it was time for her to meet those noble ladies. This was what Xie Kai had told her before. Therefore, Madame Ye knew the reason why they were following him. After saying that, he pulled Xie Wanyun out for them to see, but those noble wives were all mistresses, who didn't know that Madame Ye had no daughters, and what was pushed out was only a Daughter of Concubine.

However, since they had already pushed them out, they would not slap their faces. All of them praised Xie Wanyun's figure and figure, from the looks of it, she was a lady from a noble family.

However, if he wanted them to match Xie Wanyun with her direct son, that would be impossible. However, the daughter of an aunt could at most marry a concubine as a wife.

Xie Wanyun listened to the praises of the crowd and revealed a shy and gentle smile.

But in her heart, she felt disdain. Those people did not put her in their eyes, she was just a Daughter of Concubine. But she similarly did not look down on them. Although she was a Daughter of Concubine, she was a Daughter of Concubine of Marquis Anyang's Mansion.

She, Xie Wanyun, would still want to become a Direct Daughter in the future. At that time, not to mention which prince she would marry, even if it meant that she would have a position of power in her entire being.

As a result, both sides had their own thoughts on the way here. Only Madame Ye did not notice anything, and continued to introduce the noble women one by one with Xie Wanyun.

Everyone chatted for a while. Soon, it was time for lunch.

Although the atmosphere of the Zhou Dynasty was open, the ladies of the pavilion were not allowed to sit together with those strange men. So the men ate in the outer rooms, the ladies and the women in the inner rooms.

Very soon, the servants served their meals. Although there were many people, they were already used to the rule of not saying anything at bedtime. Therefore, apart from those who stood up and toasted the madame, no one else spoke.

After Xie Wanqing and the others finished their meal, the servants took all the leftovers on the table out. One of the servant walked past her, but suddenly she twisted her leg, and just as she was about to hit a noble lady, she was obviously pregnant, her stomach slightly raised, and looked at her for a few months.

Just at that moment, Xie Wanqing grabbed onto the servant girl and then on Yue Xin who was beside her. She was only seven years old, if she was the only one holding onto Yue Xin, then he wouldn't have had the strength to do so.

Yue Xin's reaction was extremely fast, upon seeing this, she grabbed onto the servant girl's collar, and pulled her tightly. When she was a few inches away from the pregnant lady, she stopped.

The lady was scared to the point that she broke out in cold sweat. The maidservant by her side hurriedly pulled her to the side and helped her sit down.
