Fractious Legitimate Daughter

However, this was not necessarily a bad thing.

The weather was good today, so Xie Wanqing received a message from Sun Xiaoxiao, who was previously acquainted with him at the Clairvoyant Competition. When she said that they knew each other that day, Sun Xiaoxiao felt that she had the same temperament as him. It had been a long time since she had last seen her, and she invited her to the General Mansion for tea.

Xie Wanqing was just worrying that she didn't have any connections, so naturally, she wouldn't reject the gift that had been delivered to her doorstep. Furthermore, Sun Xiaoxiao was straightforward and lively, so the two of them could indeed chat.

As a result, she took out the invitation to ask the old lady about it. The old lady casually asked about how Sun Xiaoxiao and her were acquainted, and after finding out about the situation, she agreed.

Marquis Anyang's Mansion did not have Direct Daughter, so the old mistress' communication with Daughter of Concubine was slightly relaxed. As long as the fame and benefits of Marquis Anyang's Mansion were not affected, it was their business how Xie Wanqing and the girls from other families got along with each other. The old lady would just turn a blind eye and choose one of them to become a Direct Daughter in the future.

Xie Wanqing took the invitation and went back into the courtyard. She was preparing to send someone to inform the General Mansion Attendant at the entrance to inform him that he would be there as scheduled.

Concubine Fang walked in with lotus steps.

"Xianqing, did you just come back from the old mistress' place?"

"Yes." Xie Wanqing nodded. With Sun Xiaoxiao's card in her hands, she would not be able to escape the Concubine Fang's eyes. Rather than waiting for Concubine Fang to see the threads and suspect that she was hiding it from her, it would be better for him to take the initiative to tell her about it.

Therefore, Xie Wanqing said naturally: "I was just about to send a servant to inform Aunt, but today a friend of mine passed me an invitation, I've just asked the Old Mistress and have already agreed. I was just about to send someone to inform her."

Xie Wanqing didn't want Concubine Fang to know about Sun Xiaoxiao, so she only said that she was a friend of her.

However, she had been raised in the Marquis Anyang's Mansion and grew up as a child of the Concubine Fang. The only possibility was that he was acquainted with someone from the last battle.

It was said that the majority of the participants in the Illuminating Assembly were the sons of wealthy families, so the Concubine Fang would naturally not let them off. Xie Wanyun was already ten this year, so it was about time for them to meet again in a few years.

"Oh? May I know which noble lady she is? " The Concubine Fang led her to sit at the side as she asked, "Can Aunt take a look at this post?"

This was a test for her, of course Xie Wanqing would not say no, in any case, the words on the thread were nothing shameful, the only thing she did not want Concubine Fang to know was Sun Xiaoxiao's identity, and the thread was sealed with General Mansion's private badge, that way Concubine Fang would know everything.

This was also something that Xie Wanqing could not obstruct, the only thing she was unreconciled to was that her own strength was still insufficient to contend against her, and that was why he had to see her expression, to live.

Concubine Fang took the letter from Xie Wanqing's hands and only took a glance at it to see the private badge on the General Mansion. Secretly taking note of Sun Xiaoxiao's name, she asked: "Xiqing, are you planning to go by yourself?"

Xie Wanqing's heart thumped, as she had a bad premonition.

As expected, in the next moment, he heard Concubine Fang say: "You are young, and have never left the palace to attend a banquet. I'll have Evening Cloud accompany you tomorrow. "

Xie Wanqing immediately rejected: "But big sister has been helping grandmother copy the Buddhist scriptures recently, I'm afraid I don't have the time."

After being questioned by the Old Granny during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xie Wanyun had made a copy of it and sent it to the Buddha Hall everyday, saying that she had thought deeply about it.

Although she said that, Xie Wanqing knew that although the Old Mistress did not punish Xie Wanyun last time, the indifference towards the Daughter of Concubine that she had towards her was worse than any scolding.

No one was clearer than Xie Wanqing how much hope she had of obtaining the position of Direct Daughter.

However, even though she still bore grudges against the old lady for looking down on her, on the surface, she was extremely obedient and filial. It could be seen how patient Xie Wanyun was with her, even though she was only ten years old, let alone after she had grown up.

No wonder he couldn't defeat her in his previous life.

Concubine Fang shook her head nonchalantly: "She is your big sister, it is only natural for her to take care of you. Aunt will send someone to inform her later. "

Her words were pleasant to the ears, but the Concubine Fang only said this to Xie Wanqing, and the Sun Xiaoxiao who invited her did not know anything at all. Regardless of whether or not the other party was willing to accept Xie Wanyun, they had to quickly rush over. If they could get along with Xie Wanyun, then it would be great.

What she didn't want to see was Xie Wanqing getting along well with the other noble girls. Once Xie Wanqing's wings grow, it would no longer be so easy to control.

Xie Wanqing smiled and nodded in agreement.

Since Concubine Fang was so eager to come over, then she might as well accept it. In her opinion, Sun Xiaoxiao and Xie Wanyun might not end up together. Sun Xiaoxiao was a straightforward person who did not like reading books and hated detours. If she could get on good terms with Xie Wanyun, then they could have gotten on good terms that day at the Clear Concealment Assembly, and there would be no need to wait until today.

After sending off the Concubine Fang, Xie Wanqing sent someone to inform the Attendant of General Mansion, and Xie Wanyun would head there tomorrow as well.

Very quickly, the second day arrived. Xie Wanqing woke up early, went to the buddhist hall to copy the scriptures, and accompanied the old lady to have a breakfast.

Sun General Mansion wasn't too far away from the Marquis Anyang's Mansion, only a street away. Thus, it was still early when the two arrived. Attendant had long since been instructed to guard General Mansion's gate, the moment he saw the Marquis Anyang's Mansion's carriage, he immediately went to notify Sun Xiaoxiao.

This was an invitation from a girl in a pavilion, so Xie Wanqing did not need to pay respects to the old lady from General Mansion. They only followed Sun Xiaoxiao into her courtyard. Xie Wanyun fell a few steps behind and fell last.

When Sun Xiaoxiao heard from the Attendant that Xie Wanyun wanted to come together, she was unhappy. She had met Xie Wanyun at the Clairvoyant and she had nothing to talk about with her. If the two of them were to start chatting, Xie Wanyun would probably be able to kill her with her words about the books in the classroom, and she would be so angry that she would smash him with her fist.

Therefore, she didn't have a good expression when she received Xie Wanyun at the door today. However, as a Direct Daughter of the General Mansion, her manners wouldn't be bad, so she politely chatted with him for a bit.

Who knew that on their way to Sun Xiaoxiao's courtyard, Xie Wanyun would never stop talking. She would ask Sun Xiaoxiao how old she was and she would ask her what she liked. Thus, she pulled Xie Wanqing and walked a few steps forward. After making sure that Xie Wanyun could not hear what they were saying, she whispered: "Why did you bring her here?"

Xie Wanqing saw and laughed: "You don't like her?"

"It's no wonder you like it!" She has so many questions, it's so annoying! " Sun Xiaoxiao pouted.
