Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 119

Xie Wanqing held the account book and knocked lightly on the door.

"Come in." An old and deep voice came.

"Grandmother, Wan Qing has come to greet you." Xie Wanqing called softly.

"Wan'er, come, come in and sit." Grandma's voice came from the inner hall, at this time Mrs. Xie was paying respects to the Buddha.

It seems that grandma is in a good mood. If it is normal, she is very taboo to be disturbed by others when she is worshiping the Buddha.

Zijuan hurriedly brought tea bowls to serve Wanqing, Xie Wanqing hurriedly stood up and said, "Why bother sister Zijuan."

After about a cup of tea, Mrs. Xie walked out from the inner hall slowly, looking pretty good.

Xie Wanqing hurriedly got up to greet her grandmother, Mrs. Xie raised her hand and said: "From now on, there will be no outsiders around, so you don't have to stick to these customary etiquette. Sit down quickly."

"That can't be done. Ordinary people would think that grandmother dotes on granddaughter, but if it is seen by caring people, wouldn't it be a joke that Wan Qing doesn't understand etiquette?" Xie Wanqing said with a pun.

"Hehe, it's because I'm an old woman who can't think of this festival anymore." Madam Xie had a benevolent look, her eyes had turned yellow, but she was still full of energy.

"Where is it? Grandma loves her granddaughter. Grandma's good granddaughter always remembers it in her heart. If it is not dry, let Lingshu go to the kitchen to make scented tea for grandma with wolfberry and wild chrysanthemum. I wonder if you have used it?" Xie Wanqing casually picked up the tea bowl on the table and took a sip.

Mrs. Xie raised her mouth and said with a smile: "I've drank scented tea, it tastes good, but it's a little too sweet. If it's a bit bland, it would suit my wife's taste."

Xie Wanqing's face flushed, she wanted to use the name of scented tea to sell well, but she didn't expect her grandmother to guess that the bowl of tea was brewed for her by Lingshu.

In this case, Xie Wanqing stopped beating around the bush and explained why she came directly.

After speaking, he presented the account book in his sleeve, and Zijuan at the side quickly took it with both hands, and presented it to the old lady.

From the time Madam Xie began to look through the account book, Xie Wanqing secretly glanced at the expression on her face, she did not show any surprise, it seems that grandma was not completely ignorant of this matter, her heart darkened, it seemed that she was reckless up.

At this time, Mrs. Xie was looking at the accounts and pondering. Although this granddaughter is smart, she still has her own demeanor back then, but is it just that she wants to make things worse so soon?What is her intention in doing this?Really just to rectify this matter?
Although it was only for a short while, thousands of thoughts changed in Xie Wanqing's and Mrs. Xie's minds.

"It's getting late today, I'm a little tired, I'll read it later tomorrow." Mrs. Xie closed the account book and put it on the tea table.

"Grandmother, rest well, and Wanqing will leave first." Xie Wanqing pulled the coffin next to her knowingly, and retreated.

As soon as he left the room, Lingshu couldn't wait to lean into Xie Wanqing's ear and asked, "Miss, why didn't you say anything?"

"Hush..." Xie Wanqing made a silent gesture, Lingshu quickly covered her mouth, the master and servant hurried, but they didn't go back to the Changshang Pavilion where they lived, but went straight to the back garden.

As the sky was getting late and the autumn wind was blowing, Xie Wanqing couldn't help shrinking her shoulders.

"Miss, are you cold? Go back quickly, if the lady is sick, how can I take care of you." Lingshu followed Xie Wanqing, but was worried about her body.

Xie Wanqing said softly: "You see, grandma didn't look surprised at all after looking through the account books. She must have known about the black account a long time ago, but she didn't point out that there must be other things in it."

"Oh." Lingshu suddenly realized, but then asked: "Then miss, what are we doing in the back garden?"

Xie Wanqing only hurried forward, but did not respond to the coffin.

"Miss, I heard that the backyard was haunted by ghosts before, let's... go back quickly." Lingshu tightened his body, watching the gradually darkening sky, his heart was full of worries.

"Our martial arts masters are so timid." Xie Wanqing joked.

"Miss, don't make fun of the servant. Sigh... I really should have brought up a lantern, but the servant was negligent." Lingshu was a little embarrassed.

At this time, a gust of autumn wind hit, Xie Wanqing couldn't help shivering.

The flowers in the back garden withered long ago, and after walking for a long time, no maid appeared. It was already bleak and cold wind was blowing, making it even more desolate.

Lingshu was really worried about Xie Wanqing's body, so he ignored the etiquette and image, took off his outer shirt and put it on Xie Wanqing's body.

Feeling a warm current, Xie Wanqing struggled and said, "You don't wear much, you'll get sick." After speaking, she was about to take it off, but she didn't have the strength of a spirit pivot.

"Miss, this servant has practiced martial arts and has a very strong body, but you, I was sick a while ago, and now I have some wrists. This servant really hopes that I can take the place of Miss to suffer these pains, ah..." Lingshu twitched his nose at this point Sour, there seemed to be tears in the bright eyes.

Even so, Xie Wanqing didn't shirk any longer, she held onto the blouse of the coffin tightly, and walked towards the depths of the back garden.

The people living in this back garden are some unfavored aunts. I have long heard that if a married woman is not favored, it is the biggest failure in life.

When Xiao Suo in front of him was compared with the flowers in the front yard, it really made sense.

Looking up and seeing the three characters "No Return Pavilion" on the plaque, Xie Wanqing stepped forward and knocked on the door three times, but no one came to answer.

Xie Wanqing, who thought no one was there, pushed lightly, but unexpectedly the door opened.

Inside was a large room, seven or eight women were eating around the table, seeing Xie Wanqing's face full of horror.

"Slave... Slaves see the young miss."

"My concubine pays her respects to the young lady." Someone came to his senses at this moment and quickly ran over to greet him.

Before Xie Wanqing could speak, a rather pretty woman beside him sneered, "Where are you a concubine? It's far-fetched to be a slave."

Xie Wanqing frowned slightly, and said lightly: "My aunts are being polite, you can continue."

"Tch, what kind of good person are you pretending to be with empty hands." said the woman with red lips and white teeth.

At this time, a middle-aged woman dressed as a servant came in from the gate, and seeing Xie Wanqing salute quickly, she happened to hear the woman's words, and said angrily: "Why don't you hurry up and apologize to the young miss? What, dare to make irresponsible remarks to the eldest lady, be careful, you are in bad luck."

"Unlucky? Isn't it unlucky now? What do you eat every day? Steamed buns? It's rotten! Vegetable soup? It stinks!" The woman was obviously broken.

I didn't expect that a servant in the back garden could reprimand them. They were also father's aunts in the past, some of them were maids in the house, and some of them were loved by my father. I didn't expect that they have fallen to this end now.

"Do you eat these things on weekdays?" Xie Wanqing picked up a bowl of vegetable soup, and a stench came over her. She felt a little nauseous, and hurriedly put it back on the table.

"Should we still sing thanks to my lord for not starving us to death?" Before she finished speaking, the servant came up with two big mouths, and she fell to the ground directly because of her thin body. There were two red palm prints on her fair oval face, and blood oozed from the corner of her mouth.

"Miss, please take care of me. It's not good for the servants. They didn't discipline them well." The servant hurriedly put on a smile on his face.

At present, no one knows that Miss Xie's family is about to get married soon, and her husband is the current crown prince, and she is the current crown prince, who would have the guts to provoke her. "

Xie Wanqing didn't say much, but frowned slightly, her complexion was not good.She turned around and asked Lingshu for the money bag, took out two silver ingots from it and handed them to the servant, saying, "I just passed by by chance, so I don't have any preparations, so you can save this money to fill up some clothes."

The servant immediately opened his eyes and smiled and said, "Thank you, miss, for your reward."

Xie Wanqing bent down again to help the woman who fell on the ground, put the remaining two silver ingots in her purse into her hands, and whispered in her ear: "Take this, give it to the sisters." Order something delicious, and I'll see you again."

The woman had an unbelievable expression on her face, and asked in surprise, "You... really give it to me?"

"Yes." Xie Wanqing nodded.

Unexpectedly, the woman didn't accept it, instead she pushed it back and said: "It's all Youli's fault, please don't count the villain's fault, sir, let these sisters go."

At this time where to follow?Xie Wanqing was a little puzzled.

"When did my lady say that she would embarrass you sisters? This money is for your health, don't be ignorant." Lingshu couldn't see it from the side, so he said aloud.

Youli had a suspicious expression, Xie Wanqing put the silver in her palm, patted her, and signaled her to be at ease.

Unexpectedly, she suddenly became excited, grabbed Xie Wanqing's skirt and said: "Miss, I beg you to send a message to the master, and say that You Li really knew his mistake, please see him again."

"I'll take it with you, take care." Xie Wanqing left the Bugui Pavilion together with Lingshu.

At this time, the sky was as black as ink, and the master and servant shuttled through the garden based on their impressions.

"I didn't expect these women to have such a miserable life, miss, how do you know?" Lingshu was a little puzzled.

"I don't know. I just looked at the profit distribution of each yard on the account book, and saw that the expenditure for the backyard is 500 taels of silver per month. This is too much." Xie Wanqing shrank, Tightly hold the hand of Lingshu.

It feels like they have been walking for a long time, but they can't get around. The two girls are extremely nervous. After all, there are very few people coming to this backyard.

"Miss, why don't we go back to Bugui Pavilion and find that servant to lead the way?" Lingshu kept rubbing his hands.

"But right now, do you know how to get to Bugui Pavilion?" Xie Wanqing said sadly, she really didn't expect the back garden to be so big, so big that she actually lost her way.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound of cloth rubbing against each other.

Xie Wanqing grabbed the coffin and walked towards the direction of the sound.
