Deeply grieved

  Xie Wenjing made a gloomy announcement and turned to leave, without any intention of staying. It wasn't until Xie Wenjing led Zhihua and Du Mama out the gate that a heart-wrenching cry echoed from behind.

  "Miss, spare my life! I just remembered that I put away the young master's black jade inkstone. If you let me go, I'll take it out right now. I'm innocent!"

  Xie Wenjing stopped in her tracks, turned around and looked at Ma Niang who had just been pretending to be dead, now with a loyal servant's expression. Was she still being wronged?

  Xie Wenjing waved her hand, and two servants released Ma Niangniang.

  Everyone couldn't help but pinch their noses, as a strong smell of urine wafted through the air.

  Xie Wenjing still walked towards Ma Niangniang at a steady pace: "Bring out the black jade inkstone, and then you can withdraw!"

  The grandma ran away like a madman, stumbling and staggering with her pants down.

  Before long, the black jade inkstone was taken out. Mei Lan took it with a dark face and would have to clean it thoroughly later, feeling like it had a urine smell.

  Xie Wenjing coldly watched as Ma Niang escaped like a fugitive and then entered her brother's room with a heavy heart.

  Xie Wenbao, who was fast asleep, had no idea what had just happened in his own courtyard, and still had a smile on his face as if he had just had a beautiful dream.

  "Haha, my great general, my great general has won! Give me money!" Xie Wenbao suddenly spoke up in his sleep, laughing especially happily.

  Xie Wenjing looked at the innocent smile and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

  Although my brother is only nine years old, children of this age from poor families have already become sensible and taken charge of the household, but my brother was kept ignorant by those people.

  How can I manage and educate my younger brother well? How to prevent him from repeating the same mistakes?

  Little brother, little brother, can you understand your sister's heart?

  Xie Wenbao smiled in his dream, turned over, and kicked the quilt on his body with one foot. Xie Wenyin gently covered it for him.

  "Grandma, grandma, I want Dong'er to be my daughter-in-law. Dong'er is good-looking, hehe." Grandma agreed. Xie Wenbao suddenly added another sentence, which made Xie Wenyin's face turn black.

  This little tree sapling has grown crooked, and it's not easy to straighten it out!

  Xie Wenjing left her brother's house with a heavy heart, and after leaving here, she must be able to teach her brother well.

  The old lady waited for half the night, but no one came to report: The bamboo garden is flooded, and the master has gone.

  Mrs. Li and the old lady were both anxious and restless as they waited.

  Until the sky reveals a hint of dawn, there is still no news from that side.

  "Go find Wang Yi and tell him to ask Liu Lingling that if they leave for Hangzhou today, she should follow them all the way and take care of things, often reporting back to us about the situation at home, and let us know everything about that sick person. Liu Lingling should understand."

  "Tell her again, if that sick devil dies early, she can get the remaining silver earlier and leave earlier."

  The old lady suddenly had a premonition that the sick ghost would not die today, so she could only arrange for Liu Lingling to follow the sick ghost and watch them on her behalf, taking the opportunity to kill the sick ghost.

  Just as Li Ayi was approaching the bamboo garden gate, she happened to meet Xie Wenjing with Du Ma, Zhi Hua, and carrying breakfast and medicine.

  "Li Auntie? Want to go to the bamboo garden? Let's go together!" Xie Wenjing was in a good mood, and this night had finally passed safely. To be cautious, she hadn't slept for two shifts with Du Mama and the others, getting up early so that she could leave the Xie house smoothly. Not giving anyone any opportunity to make trouble.

  Madam Li's face was full of fake smiles: "The young lady is really filial, sending medicine and breakfast to the old master so early. Those servants in the bamboo garden have learned to be lazy, huh?"

  "Auntie Li, you said it yourself, this is my filial piety at work. Since it's filial piety, how can I let others do it for me? The dishes I make, only when my dad eats them are they delicious and enjoyable!"

  Xie Wenjing also smiled warmly, without any hesitation in her words.

  Mrs. Li's face was slightly embarrassed, and the young lady was blocking herself! This young lady is indeed not a good person, if it wasn't for her sudden arrival last night, the old lady would not have been so heartbroken! Cheap girl, she deserves to be unmarried!

  Mrs. Li was secretly cursing Xie Wenjing in her heart.

  "What? Wang, didn't you sleep all night? Your complexion is so poor and your eyes are full of bloodshot. Are you okay?"

  Xie Wenjing saw Wang Yi's unpleasant face and opened the door for herself, feeling a little relieved. Fortunately, she had encouraged people to take turns keeping watch last night with heavy rewards, otherwise, just by looking at Wang Yi's face, she would have known that he had malicious intentions last night, but didn't get the chance. That's why his eyes were bloodshot and his face was tired now.

  "In response to the young lady, I just had a bit of insomnia. After a good night's sleep tonight, I should be fine, don't worry." Wang Yi replied with a pale face, but his eyes carefully looked towards Li Mama.

  Mrs. Li's face was stiff, and she hated Wang Yi for being useless. A simple thing couldn't be done properly. Fortunately, the old lady had given him 50 taels of silver as a deposit, which would have to be returned later.

  "Li Auntie, come on in! Is there something you want to tell my parents from Grandma? Let's go!"

  Xie Wenjing enthusiastically pulled Li Jiaojiao, not giving the two a chance to exchange messages. In short, when the two met, they must have been discussing how to harm their own family members. If there was an opportunity to stop them, she would naturally stop them.

  "What? No, no, the old lady is just worried about Master's health and has instructed your mother and Liu Niang to take good care of him. She wants your mother or Liu Niang to send news back often and report that everything is all right."

  Mrs. Li loudly said the old lady's parting words, but her eyes were staring at Wang Yi, Wang Yi was stunned for a moment, understood, this is to tell Liu Lingling to stare at the old lady!

  "Wen Jing thanked Grandma on behalf of her parents. I'll see them soon, as well as Aunt Liu, and will definitely pass on Grandma's original words to them."

  Wang, go to Liu Niang's place and have her maid help her pack up her things so nothing gets left behind. For anything too heavy, please lend a hand to help her out.

  My dad has Uncle Li on his side, so I'm not worried about carrying heavy things. Let's go together!

  "Kinguan, after we leave, this bamboo garden will be entrusted to you for management. It is often swept clean inside. My father's body cannot see dust. These servants, listen to my grandmother's words and arrange them accordingly."

  Xie Wenjing said and sent Wang Yi to Liu Lingling's place, not giving him the opportunity to whisper with Li Nainai, making them speak vaguely in front of her, which made Li Nainai, this accomplice, furious.

  Mrs. Li was indeed furious, her face stiffened and turned to leave. Just as she was about to go in, she ran into the young lady, this scourge. She had originally wanted to wait for her to leave before having a detailed conversation with Wang Yi, but the young lady drove Wang Yi away instead.

  However, what I said, Wang Yi can understand, and Liu Lingling should also be able to understand. The key is that the big sister has already instructed Wang Yi to help Liu Lingling clean up the things, as long as Liu Lingling follows along, she will naturally know about those people's affairs.

  As for Wang Yi being left behind, it was within expectations. As long as Liu Lingling followed him, he wouldn't lose control over the old master.

  By the time it was daylight, everyone was ready to go. They all set off early, and a large group of people gathered in front of the Xie family's main gate. At this point, Xie Wenjing felt half relieved. As long as she bid farewell to her grandparents, uncles, and aunts, they could leave this stifling Xie family behind.

  What's this? Uncle San and Auntie San?

  Xie Wenjing stared blankly at the large and small packages of Third Uncle and Third Aunt, as well as her cousins Xie Wenfeng and Xie Wenting, who all looked like they were about to embark on a long journey.
