Chapter 24: Homecoming
This undercurrent is surging, but Xie Huaijin is not moving like a mountain over there.
Except for the beginning when Xie Wanyun said that he would let Xie Wanqing try to solve the chess game, he raised his eyes and glanced at her, and then whether Xie Huaiying made fun of her chess skills or Xie Wanqing was humble, he didn't raise his eyes.
Seeing this, Xie Wanqing couldn't help but feel that he was really boring.
Chen Li has been secretly calling Xie Huaijin to play since just now, and although Xie Huaiying gave up on understanding the endgame, if he took Xie Wanqing and left and left Xie Huaijin alone, it would inevitably be a little bad. But he also knew that they were not familiar with Xie Huaijin, and if they left Xie Wanqing and the others here, it would be useless, and it would only increase the embarrassment.
That's why it's hard for him to go.
"Sister Wanqing and Sister Wanyun came to Shouxi Academy for the first time, why don't we take them around?" Xie Huaiying proposed.
Xie Huaijin shook his head: "You take them there, I'll take a look." ”
"What's there to solve in this chess game, when you go back in the evening, you go and ask your uncle, or I'll ask my father, I really can't solve it, I'll ask the teacher tomorrow, you haven't solved it for so long, it's better to put it first." Xie Huaiying really didn't understand how long his brain was, and why he was thinking about studying things that others couldn't answer every day.
"No, I'll see."
Xie Huaizhen originally had good intentions, but Xie Huaijin replied perfunctorily, which made him angry again, got up and said, "Sister Wanqing and Sister Wanyun follow me, and I'll take you around." The tone was stiff, and it seemed to be still angry.
Sun Xiaoxiao and a few people saw that Xie Wanqing was leaving, and they also wanted to go with her, they were about the same age as her, and today was the first time they came to Shouxi Academy, and they hadn't taken a good look yet. Seeing this, several young masters next to him also walked together, and the group left with a hula and left, leaving only Xie Huaijin still sitting under the tree, but he was not affected at all.
Xie Huaiying and his entourage are all children, with short legs and slow walking, and Shouxi School is big, so they stop and go, and when they have walked around the middle courtyard of the school, several people are tired, so they all stop and find a place to chat.
An afternoon passed quickly, and when Xie Wanqing and the others returned to the Hou Mansion of Anyang, the sun had sunk in the west, and the Huang family picked them up at the door, saw Xie Huaiying, and happily led him back.
Xie Wanqing and Xie Wanyun went to see the old lady first, and the old lady asked them to go back.
When she returned to the yard, Mama Feng was waiting for her at the door, and when she saw Xie Wanqing, she asked her, "Has anyone bullied Miss?" But made new friends? Was that convention fun? Are there a lot of people? ”
Xie Wanqing smiled helplessly: "Mama has so many questions, can I answer them when I'm full." ”
When Mama Feng heard her say this, she knew that she was hungry, and said with an annoyed expression: "It's the old slave who was dizzy for a while, and thought that you had eaten at the old lady's place." ”
Usually Xie Wanqing goes to copy the scriptures, and the old lady often leaves her to eat together, plus she came back late today, so it is not surprising that Mama Feng would feel this way.
And in the last life, only Mama Feng really loved her, but before she got married, Mama Feng returned to her hometown, so she was isolated later. In this life, because she knows which people around her are good and who are bad, for Mama Feng, Xie Wanqing feels precious and rare, so she has more trust.
Xie Wanqing didn't care about such a trivial matter, but said coquettishly: "Mama, let people serve the food, Wanqing is going to be hungry." ”
Mama Feng raised Xie Wanqing as her own child to such a big age, and now as soon as Xie Wanqing is coquettish, she feels that her heart is soft, and her rough hand strokes her hair and says: "Slave maid, let's go and let people serve food, Miss Haosheng is sitting here waiting for Mama." ”
Then he turned around and went out.
The expression on Xie Wanqing's face changed, and she no longer had the innocence of a child, she looked up at Yuexin: "Is the matter done?" ”
Yue Ying bowed her head and said, "Yes." Miss rest assured. ”
After a while, the food was served, because she knew that Xie Wanqing was going back to the house to eat, so the food in the kitchen was already ready and hot, and she waited for her to come back to eat.
The food on the table is suitable for meat and vegetables, and it is pleasing to the eye. But Xie Wanqing was not in a hurry to put down the chopsticks, she raised her hand and waved away the other subordinates, and asked Mama Feng to stay at the door, only to watch Yuexin pinch the silver needles in her hand to test the poison one by one.
Since Aunt Fang dared to poison last time, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no next time. She is at ease with nothing in all her food, and everything she eats in the future must be checked a priori.
Yuexin tried every dish, and a few of the dishes that Xie Wanqing particularly liked were indeed mixed in. But I don't know what it is.
Sure enough, it's vicious. Xie Wanqing lowered her eyes and was silent.
Although the bird's nest soup last time was discovered in time and handed over to the Ye family, there is no evidence that it was poisoned by Aunt Fang. Maybe it's the cook, maybe it's the maid who brings the soup. Aunt Fang has countless arguments to shirk, plus she is now nominally Aunt Fang's biological daughter, which can prove that Aunt Fang has no motive to commit the crime.
Xie Wanqing was annoyed in her heart, knowing that the enemy was around, knowing that someone was trying to harm her, but she couldn't catch someone and hit her hard, which made her restless.
Yuexin persuaded her on the side: "Miss, let's have dinner first, so as not to make people suspicious." ”
Although she didn't know who gave the poison, she couldn't escape the people in this courtyard. Therefore, if Xie Wanqing has not finished a meal for a long time, it will definitely make the other party feel strange, and maybe next time she will change the method they don't know to harm others. That's more than worth the cost.
Now they will plan and slowly lead each other out, which is the best policy.
Yuexin told Xie Wanqing about this, although the other party was only seven years old, Yuexingo felt that she could understand a lot.
Xie Wanqing also knew that this matter was in a hurry, so she followed the pleasant words and ate first.
She has nothing now, no money and no power, except for Yuexin and Mama Feng, there is no one she can use. Xiao Nian in the courtyard is not serious after all, and she doesn't know who she will be loyal to, as for the others, they are all under Aunt Fang's hands.
If she wants to find evidence and completely destroy Aunt Fang, she can only check the evidence herself. The Ye family didn't know the truth, so naturally it was impossible to believe that Xie Wanqing was her biological daughter for no reason, and the old lady and Xie Kai didn't have to think about it, in this huge Anyang Hou Mansion, no one could help her, and the only one who could be relied on was herself.
As the saying goes, money makes the devil grind. Xie Wanqing wants to check the evidence and wants someone to help, so Xiao En Xiaohui and the like are naturally indispensable, and even ask someone to check her pulse to see if Aunt Fang poisoned her before she was reborn. Moreover, she didn't want to be trapped in this deep mansion compound for the rest of her life, she wanted to go out and see the outside world. And none of these things need money to be implemented.
Therefore, making money is the first step Xie Wanqing has to do next.
