She did not have a good impression of Daoist Kong. Now that she had confirmed Du Fa's identity, she was even more pleased, because she did not look good when she saw Daoist Kong.
Seeing the Countess act this way, Daoist Kong was afraid that Du Fa had given him something that proved his identity as an Imperial Protector. Although he loved money, he was afraid of power. She was His Majesty's Imperial Protector, what did he count as? He was merely a person who relied on deceit to earn a living, how could he dare compete with Du Fa?
So he said extremely quickly: "This Penniless Priest doesn't dare, in recent days this Penniless Priest often feels tired and powerless, thinking that you are sick, that's why you are spouting nonsense, and even misjudged the fate of Second Miss. Since the State Protector is here today, then I will take my leave."
After saying that, he prepared to leave.
At this time, Xie Wanqing suddenly stood up and shouted: "Please wait!"
Fellow Daoist Kong turned his head reluctantly, "Is there anything Second Miss needs from me?" He revealed a fawning smile, just now he was still righteously saying that she had a murderous aura.
Seeing that Xie Wanqing was leaving, the Attendant who was kneeling on the ground immediately became anxious, now that he was keeping the person, he immediately rushed forward to grab onto Daoist Kong's leg, if she were to die, he could not let the person leave, even if the old lady was to blame, he had to bear the punishment by himself, how could he be willing, even if he had to drag one along, he had to die with him.
"What are you doing?" Sigh … Let go of me! " No matter how much Daoist Kong swung his leg, he could not get rid of Attendant. He was anxious and angry as he said, "You are so unreasonable, why are you grabbing onto this poor Taoist?"
It's you, it's you! It's you who said that the Second Miss is an ominous person, that's why I said that you can't leave. Attendant held on tightly, not letting go even if the Taoist beat him with the horsetail whisk.
Concubine Fang had promised him a huge sum of money, but she also said that if things didn't work out, he definitely could not reveal it to her, or her family would be in trouble.
Attendant did not dare to reveal the mastermind, but since he did not want to die, he could only drag Daoist Kong along as a scapegoat.
"Madame, this servant believed the Taoist's lie and was not willing to say it. It was this Taoist who wanted to harm Second Miss, it was him!"
When Daoist Kong heard this, he felt his Qi and blood surging. He even had the urge to kill someone. Who would have thought that he would be pecked in the eye by a wild goose today?
"What nonsense are you spouting!" He was furious, he used all his might to pull on Attendant's arm, his nails digging into the flesh of Attendant, yet he could not pull on Attendant's arm, showing his determination.
"I have no enmity with Marquis Anyang's Mansion, and even less so have no enmity with Second Miss. How would I harm her?
Attendant is always a smart person, this could be seen from his words just now. He opened his mouth and retorted, "You usually cheat people, but who knows what kind of people's money you took today to harm our Second Miss."
Concubine Fang's eyes darkened, she knew that she had said the wrong thing, those who should not have been led there to guess in the direction of the main culprit. However, he was in a rush and it was too late for him to regret it. Therefore, she could only hold on tightly to Daoist Kong.
Although Daoist Kong knew that someone had promised him money to kill the Second Miss, he didn't know who had promised him that. The other party had worn a long hat when they came to find him, and had spoken with a suppressed voice. Judging from the material on his clothes, it should be a maidservant, but in the Residence of Anyang, there weren't too many maidservants. If he had to identify them, he definitely wouldn't be able to recognize them.
"Old madam understands," he said as he pushed the Attendant away. "This humble one definitely does not have any intention of harming Second Miss."
Seeing the old lady's cold expression, he turned to look at Xie Wanqing. A child like him would naturally be easier to deal with. he thought.
However, he had forgotten that if Xie Wanqing was really an ordinary child, then when she was convicted of being evil, she would not be as calm, and would instead cry out of fear of being wronged.
"Second Miss, believe me, this humble one definitely does not have any intentions of harming you. What happened today was just a misunderstanding. When This Penniless Priest returns, I will definitely pray for Second Miss's blessings every day. " Daoist Kong looked at her with hope.
However, she didn't hear the expected answer. "I don't believe it." Xie Wanqing said softly, her face still carrying a smile.
Daoist Kong felt as if he was struck by lightning.
"Qing Er, this morning, you bumped into Ye Yun and broke her present. Didn't your sister also not blame you?" Concubine Fang suddenly stood up and said, "It was just a misunderstanding, as the young miss of Marquis Anyang's Mansion, why are you so stingy?"
He said it as if it was all her fault. One after another, a cesspool was placed on her head. The Concubine Fang was well aware of what was going on with Xie Wanyun's present, but now, she had arrogantly brought it out and placed it on her head. Naturally, Xie Wanqing could not tolerate this.
"Auntie," she said, looking up, "when I collided with my sister this morning, my gift fell out. Is it because my things didn't break and my sister's things shattered, that the fault lies with her?"
"Furthermore, as we are sisters from the same mother, we should naturally understand each other. But who is Daoist Empty to me? Is he someone from my Marquis Anyang's Mansion? If they let him go this time, who knew if he would have a chance to speak nonsense with the other families next time. Grandmaster Du Fa is staring at Daoist Kong at all times? "" It seems that you are very lucky today, as the Heavenly Imperial Guardians came to clear the suspicion.
Her words were reasonable, the Concubine Fang was actually stuck in a state where she had nothing to say, why would Xie Wanqing talk to her like that, who exactly taught her that?
The madame felt that everything she said was reasonable.
"Fellow Daoist Kong, my Marquis Anyang's Mansion is not a place where we can come and leave whenever we want. Someone, tie him up with that Attendant and send him to the yamen."
Immediately, Attendant received his orders and brought him away.
Originally, the Countess did not plan to send him to the yamen, as it was a small matter within the residence after all. If they were to cause a ruckus outside, it would lose face due to Marquis Anyang's Mansion, but with Du Fa here, it would naturally be hard for her to punish him, but if not, and he was also afraid of what Du Fa and His Majesty would say, he could only package him up and send him to the yamen with a few words.
The old mistress brought the play to a close with a single sentence. Those who were waiting to see a good show couldn't help but have a disappointed look on their faces.
However, the old lady did not have the time to care about them, "Since Master Du Fa is here, why not rest in the mansion for two days? This time, it's all thanks to the Grandmaster, or else I would have been killed by that poor Taoist. "
Saying that, he gave Xie Wanqing a look. The most important thing to do was to quickly keep Du Fa here, in order to show off her close relationship with the Heavenly Imperial Guardians in front of the ladies. If he did well, he would not have to worry about not finding a good family in the future.
Xie Wanqing received the gaze of the old lady, and immediately understood what she meant. She herself also wanted to thank Du Fa, it would be good if he could let her stay for two days. But she didn't know if she could hold on, since according to Du Fa's unexpected personality, she couldn't guess whether he would stay behind or not.
He could only do his best. She said: "Thank you, Master Du Fa. Nightingale was extremely grateful. If Grandmaster does not mind, why not stay in the manor for a few days, and let Grandmother know of your kind intentions. "
Originally, Du Fa was prepared to be rejected, but he nodded his head and agreed.
Her reply made the old lady extremely happy, she could not help but look at Xie Wanqing with a more loving gaze, and immediately ordered her servants to clean up the guest rooms.
"On this day, the birthday of the Marquis Anyang's Mansion's madame was first destroyed by Daoist Empty and then by a State Protector. If not, I still don't know what the current Marquis Anyang's Mansion is like."
The teacher at the teahouse restaurant who was telling books suddenly started to talk about Marquis Anyang's Mansion.
Someone below said, "Didn't the Heavenly Imperial Protector always hide in the Hanshan Temple? Why did he suddenly go down the mountain, and even go to the Marquis Anyang's Mansion? "Can you not frame us with stories?"
When the storyteller saw this, he slapped the wooden log and said, "This news is very fast. If you don't believe it, wait for the news to come out from the banquet participants' houses in a few days. See if it's the same as what I said today."
Then he went back to his story.
