In the evening, Mama Feng accompanied Xie Wanqing to the upper courtyard.

Xie Wanqing is not yet eight years old and has no independent courtyard, and still lives in Aunt Fang's courtyard, and there is a distance to the old lady's upper courtyard.

When everyone saw Xie Wanqing enter the room, they all stopped talking, and the happy atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet. Xie Wanqing didn't realize it, and respectfully came up to say hello.

"Say hello to my grandmother, hello to my second uncle and aunt." Xie Wanqing bent her knees and said respectfully.

The second aunt Huang is a temperamental person who is not good at hiding her emotions, so she didn't give a good face at the moment and snorted coldly.

The old lady looked at Xie Wanqing with a scrutinizing gaze, and for a long time, she didn't ask Xie Wanqing to get up. Xie Wanqing was just a child, and it was very difficult to stay motionless, and she felt a sore waist and leg after a while.

The familiar feeling reminded Xie Wanqing of her previous life, and in her previous life, Concubine Cheng had nothing to do to toss Xie Wanqing, one of which was to let Xie Wanqing hold on to the etiquette. Xie Wanqing has a weak temperament, but she is so strong in her bones, she doesn't want to be looked down on, so she gritted her teeth and stood up every time.

The old lady didn't feel too embarrassed when she thought that Xie Wanqing was a child, she called Xie Wanqing to get up, and asked kindly: "Listen to Mama, you fainted in the Buddha Hall, are you okay?" ”

Xie Wanqing said: "Back to grandmother, Wanqing is fine, which makes grandmother worried." ”

"It's fine." After that, the old lady changed her words, although she still smiled kindly, there was a sharp light in her eyes, "I have thought about it for a day and night in the small Buddha hall, but do you know where you are wrong?" ”

Xie Wanqing held back the turbulent waves in her heart, her expression was extremely calm, she took a deep breath, and said calmly: "Grandmother, there is nothing wrong with Wanqing. ”

The whole upper room was silent, so quiet that you could hear the sound of pins falling on the ground.

Then the old lady slapped the desk suddenly, pointed at Xie Wanqing and said angrily: "Evil obstacles! ”

If Xie Wanqing was really a seven-year-old child, she would have been so frightened that she knelt down in fear. After all, Xie Wanqing is an adult soul, and in her previous life, as a prince and concubine, she also saw a lot of the world.

Xie Wanqing withstood the pressure, but still behaved extremely calm, neither humble nor arrogant: "Grandmother, Wanqing is really wronged, while the second uncle and second aunt and Huai Ying's younger brother are there, Wanqing wants to confront the slave who testifies, and asks grandmother for permission." ”

The old lady was stunned for a moment, but soon there was a deep meaning in her eyes, and she pondered for a moment, "Quasi, Mama Xin, go and pass people over." ”

The mother-in-law, who was standing next to the old lady, answered "yes" and walked out of the house.

The old lady said again: "It's not too early, let's have dinner first, and then talk about what we have eaten." ”

There is nothing that the people should not have.

Xie Wanqing blessed the second uncle Xie Heng again, "Today to celebrate the joy of the second uncle's promotion, Wanqing shouldn't be disappointed, but Wanqing has suffered an injustice, and she really can't help but clarify for herself, and I hope that the second uncle Haihan." ”

This was beyond Xie Heng's expectations, and Xie Heng, as an elder, couldn't really deal with a seven-year-old child, so he said, "It's okay." ”

Xie Wanqing's mother, Ye Shi, has been looking at Xie Wanqing since she was a little young, and she always felt that Xie Wanqing was a little different, but she couldn't tell what was different.

Everyone took their seats, and the maids rushed in and brought the dishes one by one to the table.

The Xie family has a small population, and the concubines of Xie Wanqing's father Xie Kai have long been separated, and now there are only two large houses and two rooms in the Hou Mansion of Anyang.

The big room has one son and two daughters, and the second room has only one son. Da Fangben also has an eldest son, the eldest young master Xie Huaiyu, who was born by the Ye family, but died at an early age.

The youngest of them is five-year-old Xie Huaiying, and the five children have been able to eat well by themselves, and the old people like to be lively, so they all called.

Unless otherwise permitted, the aunt is not qualified to participate in the family banquet and eat at the table, and even if she comes, she will stand by with the maid and serve, otherwise it will be a violation of the rules.

Everyone sat down around the round table, and the children had their own nurses and grandmothers to serve with the dishes, and they didn't say anything about the food, except for the elders who occasionally said which dish was delicious, and there were no words for the juniors.

Xie Wanqing couldn't help but swallow her saliva when she saw the feast full of tables, she was not a person with a heavy appetite, but she was first treated coldly in the palace, and the food was "simple", and then she was locked up in a broken courtyard, and the water and rice were not entered, and she didn't know how long she hadn't seen such a sumptuous food.

After the meal, the maid served tea, everyone rinsed their mouths, and returned to the main hall with the old lady.

The person who asked Mama Xin to summon her was already waiting outside the house, Xie Wanqing asked the old lady not to pass people into the house first, and Xie Huaiying cared for her: "Brother Huaiying, does the wound still hurt?" ”

Xie Huaiying didn't dare to look directly at Xie Wanqing, and hid behind Huang's back, Huang raised his hand slightly to block in front of Xie Huaiqing, as if he was afraid that Xie Wanqing would hurt Xie Huaiqing again.

Xie Kai and Ye Shi's faces were a little unpleasant when they saw this, and they didn't say anything.

Xie Wanqing asked again: "Brother Huaiying, can you tell me more about what happened to that incident?" The second sister couldn't remember clearly. ”

Xie Huaiying's big round eyes looked at Xie Wanqing, and then at Huang, "Just say it!" That day, I saw you flying a kite in the yard, and I wanted to ask you for the kite back, but if you didn't give it, you pushed me down and broke my head! ”

Xie Wanqing's face remained unchanged, and she continued to ask: "Brother Huaiqing, can you talk in more detail, how did the second sister push you down, and when did you push it?" ”

Xie Huaiying's eyes were blank for a moment, "I asked you for a kite, but you just refused to give it, took the kite and turned around and left, I chased after you and pulled your sleeve, and... Then you just turned around and shoved me hard! ”

Xie Wanqing "suddenly realized", "When Brother Huai Ying said this, the second sister remembered it." Mama Xin, bother to bring people in. ”

It was Zitian, the second-class maid next to Xie Wanqing, who entered the house, which made Xie Wanqing a little surprised. Because Xie Wanqing clearly remembered that it was the red heart that followed her that day.

The reason why he is so sure is because Hearts is the only mute maid in the house. The kite that day was made by Xie Wanqing wrapped in red hearts, a small kite made of leftover cloth from tailoring clothes and thinner bamboo branches, and the whole body was pink. Xie Wanqing also joked that the red peach was rosy, and as soon as the kite was finished, Xie Wanqing pulled the peach out to "show off".

The old lady will not summon the maids of other yards alone, and it is generally not good to find it.

Zitian has been anxious on the way from here, and now she heard the old lady ask her to repeat the testimony of the day before yesterday, and she was even more frightened, and lowered her head like pouring beans to spit out the memorized words, "That afternoon, the slave maid accompanied the second young lady to fly a kite in the garden, and met the third young master coming over and asked the second young lady to give him the kite, the second young lady was unwilling, and the two argued, and the second young lady pushed down the third young master in anger. ”

Xie Wanqing frowned, sure enough, as she thought, it was the maid's testimony that went wrong, and the maids around her all said so, no wonder no one would believe her.

After thinking for a moment, Xie Wanqing said, "Since I had a dispute with Brother Huai Ying at that time, why didn't you, as a maid, persuade me, but let me fight with Brother Huai Ying, and I didn't stop it." ”

Zitian was stunned when she heard Xie Wanqing's words, "Slave maid...... The slave and maid are afraid of hurting the two, and the slave and the maid are slaves and maids, how can they do it with the master......"
