Transmigrated Genius: Fragile Heiress Reigns Supreme-Chapter 519 - 523: Be on Guard (2)

Qiuping seemed very anxious, her expression changed and she said, "I am not talking nonsense, everything I said is true!" As she spoke, she looked at Xiqiu and said, "Fourth Madam, think about it, Second Madam has a high status, how can she allow her child to be subordinate in the future, and address others as Marquis? Young Master Xin is young, and the Marquis has delayed establishing a Princely Heir, should Second Madam give birth to a little young master, Young Master Xin will definitely be in danger."

She looked at Xiqiu expectantly, pleading, "I know, Fourth Madam won’t believe me without evidence, but if we wait for evidence in such matters, it will be too late. Young Master Xin is Second Madam’s lifeblood, if anything happens to him, Second Madam will not rest in peace even in the afterlife."

Xiqiu frowned, she looked at Qiuping and said coldly, "Let me ask you, the things that Young Master Xin and Young Master Min know, were they told by you? Are they referring to Aunt Ping as you?"

Qiuping was stunned, not expecting Xiqiu to bring up this matter, then hesitated and nodded, replying, "Young Master Xin and Young Master Min often visited Second Madam’s courtyard, and I was afraid they would suffer in the mansion, so I secretly taught them some principles of conduct, being cautious is always better than being taken advantage of." She paused and added, "I was entrusted by Second Madam to take care of Young Master Xin, otherwise I would have left with Qiuluo long ago and not linger till today. When it comes to matters of Young Master Xin, I would never be careless or take risks."

"Stop talking!" Xiqiu squinted at her, and said coldly, "Principles of conduct? So you told Young Master Xin he would have a little brother? What did you want him to know? That the brother is coming to steal his things or to make him harm the brother? He is only four years old, what can he understand? You claim to protect him, is this how you do it?"

"No!" Qiuping shook her hands and said, "I just wanted Young Master Xin to be a bit cautious."

Xiqiu laughed angrily, "Be cautious, what can a four-year-old child be cautious about?" Young Master Xin is naturally kind-hearted, but he cannot resist someone saying unfounded things in his ear every day, even the most upright kid will be led astray by her.

"Alright! I won’t talk about the previous matters. Today you came and told me to save Young Master Xin, protect against Second Madam, tell me how I should save and protect him?" She wants me to go and fight with Second Madam, leading to mutual destruction, then for Young Master Min there would no longer be anyone in the mansion threatening his position as Princely Heir, right?

Qiuping shook her head repeatedly, she initially came to plead with Fourth Madam, but now was rendered speechless by her words, Qiuping was full of regret, explaining, "Fourth Madam, no matter how you blame me is of no consequence, but you are Young Master Xin’s aunt, if you don’t help him, there will be no one else in the mansion to help him. You are a lady from Tong Mansion, and Young Master Xin’s maternal family is also Tong Mansion; if Young Master Xin inherits the title in the future, it is only beneficial for both the Tong Mansion and yourself!"

Xiqiu sneered repeatedly, truly worthy of being the head maid by Tong Xihua’s side! 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"I don’t need you to teach me what is good or bad." Xiqiu looked at her and said, "You better also understand your own identity, know what to say and what not to say!"

Qiuping was full of shock and regret, she thought that since Second Madam was pregnant, Fourth Madam and Young Master Xin, being aunt and nephew, would certainly offer assistance, but...

"Fourth Madam..." Qiuping was still trying to say something, but at this moment Chunliu walked in, glanced at Qiuping, and said, "The Grand Dowager requests your presence."

Xiqiu nodded, turned to Qiuping and said, "You should go back first."

"Fourth Madam." Qiuping looked at Xiqiu, still wanting to say something, but Xiqiu turned around to look at her, squinting and said, "I hope what you said to me today ends here. I have my own judgment on how to handle Young Master Xin’s matters, your duty is to guard the dowry of the eldest sister, you are not qualified for other matters, and it’s best not to act recklessly." Saying this, she walked out the door.

Qiuping stared blankly at Xiqiu’s departing figure, finally realizing that the Fourth Madam was no longer the meek Sixth Miss in the Tong Mansion.

She returned to her own courtyard dejectedly, found a servant woman who came from the Tong Mansion with her, and ordered, "Quickly, go back to the mansion and tell Nanny Fang to think of a way quickly!"

The servant woman’s face was also ashen, nodded and went.

Qiuping still felt uneasy, she grabbed a little maid and said, "Sneak to the front yard and see what Young Master Xin is doing, if he is in the Grand Dowager’s room, who is with him."
