Early the next morning.

Shen Wanwan and Xie Leqing had breakfast together. "Mother, when I leave later, please remember to have the door of the mansion locked tightly and don't let any suspicious people in. If you have nothing to do, don't go out. Just have the steward come and report to us about the shop."

Xie Leqing has a lot of properties under her name. When she was in the manor, she was in charge of those properties, and the manager would report to her every once in a while when he went to the manor.

Now that they are in the capital, it is much easier for the manager to report the situation.

As for the shops that she had just taken back from Pei Boliang, of course she, as his daughter, would go around those shops herself, but she had to meet Wanwan first, as it would be a waste to not use such a good thug.

Xie Leqing nodded. "You've said it so many times, my mother's ears are almost callused. People who don't know will think I'm the daughter and you're the mother."

Her daughter has not changed at all from the hair to the feet since she jumped into the river. However, her demeanor and tone when talking about serious matters make her feel like a different person.

She had long suspected that she was not her daughter, but so much time had passed. If she was not her daughter, then where was her own daughter?

She could also feel that her daughter truly loved and respected her, just like before.

Putting aside other things, she did a very good job in getting out of the Marquis' Mansion, which was something she had always wanted to do but had no idea how to start.

When her daughter mentioned it to the unfaithful man for the first time in Zhuangzi, she felt that her daughter was thinking too simply. How could that scumbag compromise so easily?

But I didn't expect that this matter would be accomplished just a few days after I returned to the Marquis' Mansion.

She always knew that her daughter was very capable, but her abilities before seemed a little different from her abilities now.

She looks more stable, and her words and actions are more like those of a lady from a noble family. Especially what she says now makes people feel inexplicably at ease and convinced.

But for some reason, she could sometimes see in her daughter the smile of a true noble lady from the capital. Although she herself had once been one of those noble ladies, she inexplicably disliked that kind of smile.

My daughter is only fifteen years old, how could she have two faces?

This realization made Xie Leqing feel very uncomfortable. She believed that something must have happened to her daughter when she jumped into the river, otherwise her temperament would not have changed so drastically.

After moving to Zhuangzi seven years ago, she did become much more sensible and well-behaved, but she was not as considerate as she is now, and she was more thoughtful than herself in everything.

On the way back to the capital, Wan'er suggested that she arrange for someone to clean up the house in advance and be ready to move in at any time.

Sometimes she even thought that even when her daughter was sleeping, she was probably thinking about how to deal with those people in the Marquis' Mansion.

If this isn't my daughter, whose daughter could it be?

If possible, she hoped she could live a happy and carefree life like she did when she was eight years old, even if it meant making trouble...

Shen Wanwan didn't know what was going on in Xie Leqing's mind. She just felt that since they had already left the Marquis' Mansion, Chen Yuanfang would definitely not give up the opportunity to retaliate against them, so she naturally couldn't let the other party take advantage of her.

Seeing his daughter was about to say something, Xie Leqing quickly said, "Alright, finish eating and leave quickly. I still have to watch them pack up and sort things out, so how can I have the time to go out?"

Shen Wanwan was stunned. Was she being disliked for being nagging? But she didn't say anything. She just told her mother to stay home and not go out.

She glanced outside at the boxes piled in the yard. It was too late last night and many things had not been put away yet.

No, it must be that Wanwan was a chatterbox in the past. She once said that she was not disliked by her mother and brother. Haha, she was slapped in the face, right?

Thinking of this, Shen Wanwan was in a good mood and went out in a carriage.

This was the second time she had taken a carriage after returning to the capital. Unlike the previous time, the driver this time was one of her own. The carriage ran steadily along the way without any problems, and she arrived at Zuixianju smoothly.

Shen Wanwan did not bring Ruoyun with her this time, but brought Feiyue with her. Before leaving, she repeatedly told Ling Shuang not to follow her and to stay in the mansion to ensure her mother's safety.

Feiyue was not very happy about it and hoped that Lingshuang could go with her. How could they be separated when they were on a mission together?

Ling Shuang was also unhappy, but she had to obey. She now realized that her master had taken a fancy to Mr. Xie's younger cousin.

The night before yesterday, the master waited in Miss Pei's boudoir for a full hour. After Miss Pei came back, the two of them stayed for another full hour.

She heard Miss Pei's scream, and then she could hear some intermittent conversations between them. She couldn't see what the two were doing inside, but she could imagine the scene from the sound.

Ling Shuang felt that her master was very unfair, as he actually poached her good brother.

Feiyue also found it incredible at the time. The master obviously cared about Miss Shen, so why did he confess his feelings to Miss Pei?

Fortunately, Master Xie was not present, otherwise he would be extremely angry. But will the two of them become enemies in the future?

The two realized that the problem was serious, and they tacitly moved away from the yard, pretending that they heard nothing in order to save their lives.

But now Miss Pei is going out and specifically asked to take Feiyue with her and not Lingshuang. No matter how unwilling they are, they have no choice but to obey her order.
