Fractious Legitimate Daughter

"Sister, where are we going?" Xie Huaixing said as he lifted the curtain of the carriage.

Although they had come out to play, they had still come out in a carriage. Otherwise, what should he do if he was frozen to death?

Originally, when Xie Huaixing left the academy, the snow had just fallen and there were many shops on the street that were open for business. Along the street, there were also some peddlers who were hawking their wares, just like how it was every day, bustling with noise and excitement. Even the jugglers were acting, provoking Xie Huaixing to stretch his neck to take a look, it was only the Attendant who could say whatever they wanted to say that invited him to go back.

But now, they had come again, but it had become much more desolate.

It had been snowing for almost two hours, and the snow on the ground had accumulated quite a bit.

There were only a few people on the street, perhaps it was too cold. Many hawkers had left, and some were still packing up for home. Only the shops along the street were still open, and from the outside one could see the shopkeeper leaning against the table, dozing off.

"Where does Brother Huaixing want to go?" Xie Wanqing also saw the situation outside and asked him.

The reason why Xie Huaixing liked to come out to play, was because it was lively outside. With so many people, everything was different from Marquis Anyang's Mansion.

Since it was so desolate outside, Xie Huaixing was probably not interested.

Sure enough, he frowned and said, "Not much fun."

"Why don't we go home?" Xie Wanqing teased him intentionally.

Hearing that, Xie Huaixing became anxious: "No, it's not easy to come out for a trip." Usually, he would go to school in the morning or take advantage of the time to stroll around in the streets. He wouldn't be able to come out for the rest of the day. Now that he had finally gotten the chance, how could he return without doing anything?

"Sister, let's go out to play."

There were not many people outside, so Xie Huaixing became bolder, and dared to lift up the carriage's curtain to walk out.

She quickly pulled him back, "We made a deal when we were at the mansion. You have to listen to me."

"Fine." Xie Huaixing drooped his head and answered. Originally, he thought that the scene outside would dazzle Xie Wanqing. Maybe if he said a few good words, Xie Wanqing would agree.

Who knew, Xie Wanqing would never let him go out of the car to play no matter what he said.

When going out the door, Madame Huang of the Madame Huang would constantly remind Xie Huaixing to never get out of the car to play. He was a wild and playful man, once he got out of the car, it would be hard to coax him to get on.

Normally when Xie Huaixing was playing around on the streets, it was fine. But now that it was cold outside, the Madame Huang would send him to the school entrance to wait for him at school. Once he came out, he brought him straight back to the Marquis Anyang's Mansion, afraid that he would catch a cold outside.

Xie Huaixing could not go out, he could only look outside from within the carriage, but there were not many people outside, which made him feel bored. Since he didn't want to talk with Xie Wanqing, he just sat in the corner and ignored his.

"What happened to Brother Huaixing?" Xie Wanqing saw his sickly look and knew that she had angered him by not letting him go out to play. This was what she was used to. If someone didn't listen to his wishes, he would think it was someone else's fault.

Hearing Xie Wanqing's question, hshedid not want to bother with her, but she still had some manners. After a while, he finally spoke two words: "Nothing."

Xie Wanqing poked his face, "Alright, sister will bring you to find something more interesting later."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?"

Finally, a smile appeared on Xie Huaixing's face.

But after a while, the voice of the carriage driver came from outside, "Young miss, young master, your General Mansion has arrived."

"General Mansion? "Where is this place?" Xie Huaixing looked at her suspiciously.

He was at the Academy all day and didn't understand much about Xie Wanqing. Naturally, he didn't know that she had a good sister named Sun Xiaoxiao, who even had a quarrel with him at the snack shop.

"Good place." Xie Wanqing pulled him down the carriage, and she had come to General Mansion quite a few times already. All of the guards at the door recognized her, and adding the fact that she had sent someone to deliver the invitation to their doorstep previously, there was already a Attendant who informed Sun Xiaoxiao, and there were even people who led them inside.

"Where are we going?" It did not look like a path to Sun Xiaoxiao's courtyard.

The Attendant turned around and said: "Thank you, Second Miss. Our young miss is at the training grounds waiting for you.

was truly worthy of being the daughter of General Mansion. He was different from a powerless person like her.

Xie Wanqing nodded her head to show that she understood, and followed Attendant in.

At this moment, the snow still continued to fall profusely. Inside the training grounds, it was the same as the last time she came here, there were guards training, Sun Xiaoxiao was dressed in red robes with her long hair tied up, and was shooting arrows. It was snowing so heavily, but she could still train in this.

When Xie Wanqing and the rest were about twenty steps away, Sun Xiaoxiao had already turned around and spoke: "Xiqing, you've come."

Xie Wanqing asked curiously: "How did you know we were here?"

None of them said a word.

Sun Xiaoxiao revealed a smile, "Because I heard the sound of your footsteps."

In the huge training grounds, other than the sound of the snow, there was also the sound of the trained guards' horns. On the other hand, Sun Xiaoxiao could still hear the sound of their footsteps from twenty steps away, which was definitely not ordinary.

Xie Wanqing had followed him to train in the martial arts since young, Xie Wanqing knew this, but two months ago, Sun Xiaoxiao was not that powerful. At that time, she was still thinking about playing around, and it was so fresh that even though she was already 10 years old, she was still a child.

"What have you been doing these past two months?" Xie Wanqing could not help but ask curiously.

"Me?" Sun Xiaoxiao tilted her head and smiled at her, "I've been really busy these past two months. I didn't go to the academy, nor did I go out to play.

Xie Wanqing thought that it was because of the matter regarding the heaven guest that had provoked her, and that she was going to train in martial arts to take revenge. She became alarmed: "You aren't thinking of taking revenge on Shopkeeper Zhang, are you?"

"Pfft, what are you thinking about? Am I that kind of person?"

If it was according to her previous personality, it might not be true. But after two months of absence, Sun Xiaoxiao seemed to have grown quite a bit.

Xie Wanqing said: "That is not certain."

Sun Xiaoxiao glared at her: "Everything from last time has already been settled. Otherwise, I wouldn't have stayed behind to eat that meal of his." It was only then that she noticed a small ball hiding behind Xie Wanqing.

"This is the third master of Marquis Anyang's Mansion?" she asked.

The invitation Xie Wanqing handed over was to bring the Third Young Master of the Hou clan over, but it was something Sun Xiaoxiao did not know, she just thought that she brought a child here to play, and did not pay much attention to it.

Who knew that when Xie Wanqing grabbed that little ball from behind her, she realised that the two of them actually knew each other. Wasn't this the child who was arguing with her at the entrance of the snack shop?

"So it's you." Sun Xiaoxiao revealed a ridiculing smile.

Xie Huaixing had long since realized that this sister of his seemed to be at odds with him, hence he was embarrassed for a moment before hiding behind Xie Wanqing.

However, she was still dragged out.

Now that he was recognized, he didn't show any hesitation and said, "It's me."

Sun Xiaoxiao was not angry anymore. At that time, she was also not in a good mood and her temper was a little too bad, so she said it too harshly. Otherwise, the two of them wouldn't have been able to argue.

Now, seeing Xie Huaixing's cute appearance, he said: "Let's write off everything that happened previously."

Xie Huaixing originally wanted to apologize, but in the end, he had bumped into someone and never apologized. However, before he could finish, Sun Xiaoxiao had opened his mouth first.

Xie Huaixing's words were stuck in his throat, he felt that his magnanimity was inferior to a girl like Sun Xiaoxiao's. He could not help but be a little disappointed as he replied, "Mhm."

Xie Wanqing watched as the two made up and revealed a smile.

Sun Xiaoxiao said: "Zhiqing, let me show you my results of these two months."

Then he nocked an arrow and drew the bow, which hit the target steadily in the feathery snow. Indeed, two months ago, their relationship had improved quite a bit.

Sun Xiaoxiao turned and revealed a pleased smile towards her.

"He really is powerful." Xie Wanqing praised. Only, she did not know why Sun Xiaoxiao had suddenly become so diligent in learning martial arts.

"Come on, let's go back to my yard. I'll freeze the two of you to death." Sun Xiaoxiao saw the doubt on her face, but did not answer her question.
