Chapter 192 You Listen to Me

At this time, in the private room of Room A on the third floor, Shi Mingyan was staring at the incense stick inserted in the window, which had burned a little.

"If Xie Rongying doesn't show up, then I can be sure that my father is in the hands of the Xie family. It would be even better if she shows up, because I can learn my father's whereabouts directly from her."

Shi Mingyan's eyes flashed with ruthlessness as he spoke: "Except for the Xie family, no one will touch father and Mingyu."

During this period, Shi Mingyan connected what Shi Yang had done with what happened in the Shi family's business, and he increasingly felt that the Xie family was too vicious.

She was just a woman from Youqing Tower. Even if it was arranged by his father, Xie Jing took the bait voluntarily.

What's more, before they could do anything to the Xie family, they kidnapped my father and Ming Yu.

Even in the business world, the Shi family was forced into a dead end.

In that case, don't blame Shi Mingyan for following suit.

Since he couldn't lure Xie Jing out, he didn't believe that he couldn't deal with Xie Jing's daughter.

He had no way to stop the Xie family, which was an impregnable fortress, but he had plenty of ways to reach out to Xie Jing's daughter.

Mother Li sat across from Shi Mingyan and said calmly, "Since the eldest son has already made up his mind, let's wait for Xie Jing's daughter to appear and question her thoroughly."

"The Shi family is very grateful to Mother Li for coming here in person to suppress the rebellion." When Shi Mingyan sent the invitation letter to Xie Rongying, he also inquired about Xie Rongying. Although he had been close to the Xie family before, he did not know Xie Jing's daughter very well.

Xie Rongying's status is not ordinary now. Even though Marquis Yongyi has returned from the border with serious injuries, if he wants to deal with the eldest daughter-in-law of Marquis Yongyi, he needs a higher status to suppress her.

As the confidant of the Empress Dowager, Mother Li can naturally suppress Xie Rongying's status.

"Mr. Shi is too polite. The Shi family is dedicated to serving the Empress Dowager. Now that Mr. Shi and the young master are missing, the Empress Dowager is extremely worried." Mother Li said it without any mistakes, with a smile on her face.

She raised her eyes to Shi Mingyan and said, "I heard that Madam Qin is very smart. Young Master, please be careful."

"Thank you for the reminder, Ma'am." Shi Mingyan's eyes were already filled with impatience.

But Shi Mingyan never expected that after waiting in Yongle Tower for a whole hour, Xie Rongying did not show up.

As I waited, I became more and more anxious.

Knowing that Xie Rongying would not come, Nanny Li stood up and said goodbye.

"Don't worry, Master. You also said that Madam Qin won't be coming, which means your guess is correct." Nanny Li smiled. "Since your guess is correct, you should think of another way. Time waits for no one. We must rescue Master Shi as soon as possible."

Shi Mingyan stood up to see her off: "Thank you for your reminder, Ma'am. I won't see you off."

Nanny Li nodded and walked towards the lobby of Yongle Building.

When Shi Mingyan walked into the room, he suddenly lifted up the round pear blossom table with force, and the sound of teacups breaking echoed throughout the room.

Shi Mingyan gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you, Rongying!"

Xie Rongying stayed in Yongle Building until Shi Mingyan left with a group of people. It was already the end of the afternoon.

When Xie Rongying was about to leave, Xie Ting, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, came to her.

Just when Xie Rongying was wondering why Xie Ting came to Yongle Tower, she remembered that Mrs. Li from Dongyuan knew that she came to Yongle Tower today.

"Eldest sister." Xie Ting walked into the private room and looked her up and down: "Are you okay?"

Xie Rongying sat down again: "Did you go to the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion?"

Xie Ting nodded. He originally wanted to go to the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion to talk to Xie Rongying about recent events. However, before he went to the East Garden, he was told by Mrs. Li that Xie Rongying had left the mansion early and came to Yongle Tower.

He also learned from Mrs. Li why Xie Rongying came to Yongle Tower, so he hurried over.

"That bastard Shi Mingyan didn't threaten you or anything, did he?" Xie Ting had been dealing with Shi Mingyan quite a bit recently. Normally, he hadn't noticed the Shi family's eldest son was so treacherous and cunning, but only after the Xie family and the Shi family fell out did he see the true nature of the Shi family. "Did he come to you because of business?"

Xie Rongying looked at Xie Ting with worry in her eyes and said, "No threat."

"Then why did he look for you?" Xie Tingcai didn't believe that Shi Mingyan would look for Xie Rongying for no reason. "That bastard has been relying on the power behind the Empress Dowager these days, and I've suffered a lot at his hands. Changfeng will be in Bianjing in two days. Wait for Changfeng to come, and see if the two of us brothers don't destroy the Shi family!"

"You also said that the influence of the Empress Dowager has now been involved in the Shi family's business. Even if Changfeng comes, how will you two brothers play? Play with the imperial power?" Xie Rongying poured cold water on him.

Xie Ting frowned: "Sister, I have my own way, don't worry about it."

Xie Rongying snorted and laughed, "Don't cause trouble for the noble lady of Kaibao Temple. You are old enough to know her attitude towards the Xie family. She wants you to live a stable life in the Xie family and be free for the rest of your life. If she knew that you worked so hard for the Xie family, wouldn't you think that the Xie family is too much trouble?"

"Then the Xie family is finished. How can I live in peace and freedom?" Xie Ting retorted coldly.

"If anything happens to you, the Xie family won't need Shi Mingyan and the Empress Dowager to take action. That noble lady can just say a word in front of the emperor, and the Xie family will definitely be uprooted from Bian Jing." Xie Rongying warned in a low voice with a gloomy face.

Xie Ting's face froze, and he stared at Xie Rongying without blinking, his eyes full of complexity.

Xie Rongying stood up and looked down at Xie Ting: "Listen to me."

In mid-November, there was finally a ray of sunlight in Bianjing, and the sky was clear, but the cold wind was still biting.

After Shi Mingyan sent Xie Rongying an invitation letter but Xie Rongying ignored him, he began to approach Qin Beiyuan, the third wife of the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion, and did not forget to send gifts to the Bai family.

Bai received a lot of benefits, and Shi Mingyan also learned a lot about the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion from Bai.

Although it was an open matter in the Yongyi Marquis's mansion, it was still a good thing for Shi Mingyan, especially after he learned from Bai and Qin Beiyuan that Xie Rongying and Qin Junyi were just a fake couple in name only.

One day, in a restaurant, when Shi Mingyan and Qin Beiyuan were drinking and eating together, a group of people rushed in.

Qin Fengyuan's face looked unhappy when he saw that group of people.

Seeing this, Shi Mingyan asked, "Third Master, are these people looking for you?"

"Qin Beiyuan!" The leader, a tall and burly man, stepped forward and lifted Qin Fengyuan up with one hand. "I finally found you. When will you pay me back the money you owe me?"

Shi Mingyan wanted to leave, but just as he stood up, he was held down. "I've seen you guys living a life of debauchery lately. Since you're so kind, how about you repay Qin Beiyuan's debt?"

Qin Beiyuan immediately said, "What are you going to do? That's the eldest son of the Shi family, the Ministry of Personnel!"

The tall and strong man said coldly: "Even if the king comes, you have to pay me back!"

Shi Mingyan was about to speak when the person holding him slapped him in the face: "Tell me quickly, who paid for Qin Beiyuan and you to have such a lavish life lately!"

Meanwhile, Xie Rongying, who was sitting across from Xie Ting in the private room next to her, smiled coquettishly and said softly, "The Yongyi Marquis's Mansion is rotten to the core. It's better to pit one rotten man against another, so that the Empress won't have a reason to openly target the Xie family."
