"I wonder where Taoist Empty is now?"

"This... The Daoist said that they could not enter the Marquis Anyang's Mansion without permission until he was invited, and only instructed the Attendant s that were guarding the gate with a few words before returning. However, there are a lot of distinguished guests today. That Attendant guard only spoke a few sentences with me and he was already so busy that his feet did not even touch the ground. I am afraid that he has been delayed in reporting to the old lady. "

When the old mistress heard this, she said, "Then get someone to take my card and ask the Daoist to come over."

The Mama Xin hurriedly accepted the order.

"This is my birthday. Thank you all for coming. Please forgive me for causing such a shameful thing. But since this is my Marquis Anyang's Mansion's private matter, I will not hold you all up, please follow my two daughter-in-law to tour around the palace to eat and drink. " The madame stood up apologetically.

The meaning behind her words was to disperse the onlookers.

However, there were quite a number of people who came to watch the commotion. Someone immediately said, "Old madam's words are sometimes biased. The person who was almost bumped into just now is the wife of the Minister of Rites' assistant minister. She is pregnant again." He didn't know if the child in his stomach was alright after that collision, so he had to get a doctor to take a look. Furthermore, since the matter is still unclear, we naturally have to hear it. Whether the Second Miss s of your Palace truly carry a baleful aura or not, what else can we do if we were to take advantage of the lady who has come today? "

This person's master and Marquis Anyang's Mansion had always been at odds with each other in the imperial court. Now that they had seen such a thing, how could they be willing to leave?

Which of the people around him was not like the rest of the crowd? They all echoed his words and said that they were going to stay. Since someone had already taken the lead, what was there to be afraid of? Furthermore, the madame could not do anything to them.

The Attendant that came to investigate saw this and immediately went back to report it to Xie Kai.

The matter of the backyard had always been managed by the madame, so when Xie Kai heard it, he could only frown for a bit, before throwing the matter to the side and bringing his comrades to the study room.

Although Madame Ye was worried about Xie Wanqing, she had never dealt with such an occasion before. Especially now, when that person dared to disobey the Old Madam's orders, she did not even need to say anything.

The Madame Huang had predicted what happened after the Attendant had spoken. The two in her courtyard did not happen by chance, it was just that she did not expect her to pull out two, and there was even more, it seemed like the person who schemed against her laid out a big game of chess.

She did not speak from the side, but it was because she believed in Xie Wanqing. She had already sent someone over to remind him that Xie Wanqing should be a little prepared in dealing with such a situation, otherwise, she would not be the Xie Wanqing that she knew.

Seeing everyone like this, the old mistress could not help but feel that the Madame Ye and the Madame Huang were useless. She could only stand there in a daze and did not say a word to help them.

For a moment they had to move chairs for the ladies to sit down.

Xie Wanyun had plotted with the Concubine Fang against her, but Xie Wanqing was still prepared for it. Looking at Xie Wanqing's calm and composed expression since the incident happened, the old lady thought to herself, I still don't know who was the one who tripped up today.

After about fifteen minutes, someone reported that Mama Xin had invited Daoist Kong over.

Everyone saw a middle-aged man wearing a grey robe enter the room. He waved a horsetail whisk in his hand twice before bowing, "Greetings, Old Madam."

"You are Taoist Kong?" The madame was not too interested in him. Although she believed in Buddha, she did not believe in ghosts and gods. If she did, then she would have the heaviest killing intent. After all these years, who knows how many ghosts have died at her hands, yet she was still alive and well.

Therefore, Xie Wanqing had guessed wrongly. In her previous life, the reason why the madame hated her after coming to this matter was not because she had heard that she carried a baleful aura, but because other people believed that she carried a baleful aura on her body. Leaving her in the palace caused the hearts of the people in the audience to become anxious, and even those outside the residence had to point and point at her Marquis Anyang's Mansion.

In her previous life, Xie Wanqing didn't have the ability to make the old mistress keep her behind for the sake of Marquis Anyang's Mansion. That was why he wanted to send her to stay in a nunnery.

"This Penniless Priest." The Daoist man pinched his fingers and turned to look at Xie Wanqing: "This young lady has an evil Qi, I am afraid she lives in the west side of the Hou Mansion?"

It sounded like a question, but his tone was firm.

It was both murderous and ominous. It was about time to get someone to send her to a nunnery.

Since Xie Wanqing's previous life, he had already accumulated hatred for the Daoist Priest who harmed him. On what basis would he be able to determine her life with a single sentence? It had even nearly caused her to lose the chance to be remembered as a Direct Daughter forever, even almost causing her to live her entire life as an ancient Buddha.

"Please forgive my Taoist, but my lady is afraid of strangers." Before Xie Wanqing could say anything, Mama Zeng squeezed herself to stand in front of her, blocking Daoist Kong's view.

Xie Wanqing said that she had never seen Daoist Kong before. From this, it could be seen that the two of them probably didn't know each other. However, she was immediately asked if she lived in the west. Could it be that she really could see that there was a baleful aura around her?

The ladies at the table whispered to each other, as if they believed him a little more.

"Daoist came to my Marquis Anyang's Mansion this morning?" the madame asked in a low voice.

Daoist Kong nodded, "Indeed. At that time, I passed by the entrance of your residence and saw a black aura shrouding the west side of the manor. That's why I spoke with the Attendant who was guarding the gate."

It had not been a year or two since he had deceived and tricked people in the capital, and now that he had gained courage, he dared to take up the job of framing the Daughter of Concubine of the house of the Marquis.

At this moment, Daoist Empty's expression remained unchanged as he faced the old lady. As expected of someone who could swindle an entire mansion in the capital.

Concubine Fang was pinching Xie Wanyun's matter from her sleeves, hinting to her that, look, Xie Wanqing is about to be done for. Once today's matter spread out, let alone fighting for the Direct Daughter, it was unknown whether or not they would be able to get married in the future.

The capital did not have many believers in the word of the gods and ghosts, but there were also many. In addition, the teahouse and the tavern were all exaggerating things, so it would be much more serious than what Daoist Kong said today.

Previously, Xie Wanyun was furious about the gift, but when she saw that someone was attacking Xie Wanqing, he became happy. However, she was also annoyed by the Concubine Fang's hand inside her sleeve.

"Don't be mistaken, Daoist Priest. My Marquis Anyang's Mansion has always been safe and sound, my home and people are happy." The old mistress took a sip of tea.

She only hoped that this Taoist would be more sensible and not pester her to no end. No matter whether Xie Wanqing or Xie Wanyun would be the one in trouble at that time, it would be because of the face of her Marquis Anyang's Mansion, and to her, the gains wouldn't make up for the losses, not to mention, it would happen in front of so many people.

The madame would never allow it.

Who knew that Daoist Kong didn't seem to understand the meaning behind the old lady's words. He said, "This humble Taoist definitely did not see wrong. There is still black air around this young lady." He waved his horsetail whisk and pointed it at Xie Wanqing.

A pin drop could be heard in the hall. That madam who had previously provoked the madame pursed her lips and laughed; she had finally witnessed the joke of Marquis Anyang's Mansion. She didn't even know how the matter of today would be spread.

The old mistress' brows tightened in anger. This Daoist Empty had quite a bit of prestige in the capital. Some of the ladies here trusted him greatly, so she didn't want to use force to suppress him. She just hated him for not knowing anything. Just as he was about to speak …

However, Xie Wanqing suddenly spoke out in front of him. "This Taoist, perhaps you are mistaken." There was still a smile on her face. It was the innocent smile of a child. Daoist Kong thought that this little girl had gone silly after seeing this. She was still smiling at him even though she did not know how to be afraid.

"This Penniless Priest definitely did not see wrong." he said firmly.

"Oh? "Is the Taoist sure?" Xie Wanqing asked, she seemed to be confirming to him, not worrying about how to resolve the situation.

When the crowd saw her like this, they thought, could this young Daughter of Concubine really be stupid?

After receiving Daoist Kong's confirmation, Xie Wanqing grinned, "This is such a coincidence. A few days ago, at the Hanshan Temple, the State Protector did some calculations for me. That's not what he said."
