"Don't think that just because you're a Second Miss of the Marquis Anyang's Mansion you're extraordinary. A Daughter of Concubine born from an aunt, who do you think you are?!" At such a young age, she could already use such vicious words to poke at someone's sore spot.
However, what he did not see was that Xie Wanyun's eyes had turned dark after hearing those words.
"Xie Yun is so brave."
"What do you know? His parents are spoiling him."
"So what if I love him? Could it be that I can fall out with his Marquis Anyang's Mansion for him?"
"Don't say it, it really isn't certain."
"Oh no, this is going to blow up today, can Xie Yun still come back to school in the future?"
The surrounding people chattered nonstop. They were only a few children, and seeing the commotion, they naturally could not control their chattering. They all wanted to say a few words.
Xie Wanqing looked at the person who was glaring at her with her brows knitted, and exclaimed that he was wronged in his heart, why would he place the grudge on her? If nothing else, it would be fine if it would not be on Han Hao's head, at worst, he would just let Xie Huaixing settle things.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Xie Wanqing asked innocently.
When she said this, forget about Xie Yun not believing it, even the spectators around them did not believe it. That day, she said to make Xie Yun wait, but the next part was left unanswered. Then, it was the things that happened to Xie Yun in the past few days, it was hard for people not to think of these things.
Moreover, the things that happened these few days were more or less related to the servants of the Marquis Anyang's Mansion. The ones who could order them around were only the masters of the Marquis Anyang's Mansion, and Han Hao, an outsider who had only been here for a few days, how could he do all this?
Therefore, even if Xie Wanqing did not admit it, everyone silently agreed that she was the one who pointed fingers at Xie Yun.
Xie Wanqing felt that even if she jumped into the river, she wouldn't be able to wash away her emotions.
Xie Yun said as if he had caught the culprit, "You have to apologize to me for everything that has happened these past few days, Xie Wanqing. Don't think that just because you're a Daughter of Concubine, you are extraordinary, because no matter what, we are related by blood, and yet you are so vicious at such a young age. Who do you think would dare to marry you in the future?"
If she did not apologize, Xie Yun would go out and spread some rumors that she had mistreated her brothers and sisters, and did not respect their elders.
What a joke, back then when Xie Yun bullied her, why didn't he say that he did not love his anymore, and now he used such a reputation to suppress her, was it just because she was a girl that he had to be trapped here?
Xie Wanqing was so angry that she was about to laugh, there were always people who treated him with leniency, but would harshly demand of others, she really did not know where the other party got so much face from.
"What you've done in the past few days has nothing to do with me. If you don't believe me, then come with me to see the madame. Let the old lady have a look and she will find out." Xie Wanqing squinted her eyes and replied.
The Old Mistress loved Xie Huaixing so much, but once this matter was investigated, it would just end there. Xie Yun would not seek for a good ending, and the reason why Xie Wanqing said that, was just to set him up.
Who knew that Xie Yun would actually drill further in. "I'll go then, I'm not afraid that you'll fail. I don't believe that the old lady will be so unreasonable as to believe you."
He was certain that it was Xie Wanqing who did this, and the Old Granny wouldn't offend a boy like him, just for her, a Daughter of Concubine. After all, he was someone who could take the examinations in the future, and his future was limitless.
However, the truth was bound to disappoint him. Not only was Xie Wanqing the one who did this, it was also related to the old mistress' most beloved grandson.
Xie Yun was found out about bullying Xie Wanqing before, and also found out about bullying Han Hao a few days ago, "You don't have to come anymore." The madame said angrily.
With just that one sentence, Xie Yun was sentenced to death, and was beaten back to his own home.
"Xi Qing, I'll leave the matter of Han Hao to you in the future, watch over the academy for me, see who still dares to talk nonsense, get them to scram for me." Xie Yun left, the old lady looked straight at Xie Wanqing and said.
At first glance, it seemed to be helping Han Hao, but it was actually threatening her. Leave the matter of hand over to her, which means don't bother Xie Huaixing anymore.
As long as the old mistress wanted to investigate, there was nothing that she couldn't find out. Naturally, she couldn't hide the matter of Han Hao being bullied from the old mistress either.
However, Xie Wanqing had made the preparations to be found out today.
She nodded respectfully in agreement.
Han Hao cupped his fists and said: "Thank you Madam for your concern." Whether it was Xie Yun bullying him, or the punishment Xie Yun received today, no one had asked for his opinion from the beginning to end. Han Hao deeply knew that in the old mistress' eyes, he was just a trivial outsider, so he did not make a sound, and continued to stay at the side without saying a single word.
The madame responded with a "hmm" and waved her hand to signal them to leave.
Once they were back in the courtyard, Yue Xin asked: "Why did young miss help the young master of the Han family?"
Logically speaking, Xie Wanqing had been bullied by Xie Yun before, but shshehad never said anything about it. Now, just because she said Han Hao, he was schemed against by Xie Wanqing and even used her own hands to do it.
"It's just fun. Otherwise, everyone in the academy would think that the Second Miss's Marquis Anyang's Mansion is made of mud, and no one would dare to step on it." Xie Wanqing casually said as she stuffed the peeled melon seeds into her mouth.
The reason why she helped Han Hao at first was because she felt that he was just like her in the past. She could only swallow her anger and fear, and did not dare to make a sound even when she was bullied.
She was now very different from her previous life, so she couldn't help but want to pull him along.
Now that the things that Xie Huaixing did had been placed in her mind, he guessed that the people in the academy would be able to calm down for a few days. He didn't even dare to breathe when he saw her. It wasn't worth it.
On the afternoon of the same day that Xie Yun was sent back home, his parents brought him here to apologize to him with Marquis Anyang's Mansion. After all, the madame had instructed that other than the proper lords, those bastard Daughter of Concubine s who had been sent out were not allowed to enter the house.
After that, when Xie Kai brought up the idea of opening a school at home, and the children there were not thriving, the old lady reluctantly agreed to let Xie Yun and the others enter his house to study. Now, the old lady had ordered for Xie Yun not to enter the Marquis Anyang's Mansion again, so how would he dare to open the door for them?
"Don't go overboard, it was obviously Xie Wanqing's fault!" Seeing that her parents were begging and begging, yet the doorman refused to speak, Xie Yun's calm heart, which she finally managed to persuade with great difficulty, became restless again.
However, the old lady of the house of the Marquis was a strict character, so whenever this kind of person came, she would immediately call for people to come and beat them up. As a result, there were many beggars who were chased away in front of the house, and today, when they saw Xie Yun and his parents, they thought that they had come to beat them up, but they did not expect that Xie Yun would shout them out, as if there was a secret behind all this.
The passersby all stopped to wait for Xie Yun to continue speaking. They all wanted nothing more than to sit at the door with a stool in front of the house and bang on the melon seeds, and watch the gossip.
Seeing the crowd slowly gather by his side, Xie Yun felt like he had a bargaining chip in his hand. He looked at the gatekeeper and said: "Go in and inform your Second Miss that she harmed me previously, and now I have to return it to her."
When the gatekeeper heard this and looked at the gathered crowd, he immediately felt reassured – this was a threat to him.
The doorman was clever, and immediately used his eyes to call for a butler, he smiled and said to Xie Yun: "Calm down, wait for our butler to come first, maybe he can bring you in to see the old lady."
His words gave Xie Yun's parents hope. They pulled Xie Yun, not allowing him to speak carelessly, waiting for the butler to come.
The butler hurriedly rushed over, and he even brought a group of Marquis Mansion guards with him. Someone actually dared to spread rumors and create trouble in front of his Marquis Anyang's Mansion, what was wrong with that?
"It's getting late. Everyone, let's hurry back home." The butler said.
Then, the guards behind him all filed out, and began to chase them away. Most of the people watching the show were commoners. When they saw that the guards had come out, they all left.
Xie Yun saw that everyone had left, and grinded his teeth in hatred, "I want to see the Old Mistress."
The butler pinched his beard: "Young master, the old mistress is not here today. If you have any business you should come back next time." With that, he called the guards back, turned and locked the door, leaving Xie Yun and the rest outside.
