Chapter 106: Build Good Relationships
Qin Junchen really disliked the calm and composed attitude that Xie Rongying maintained at all times, as if she could control the Marquis of Yongyi's Mansion at her will.
"Nothing." Qin Junchen smiled: "Just concerned about you."
Xie Rongying heard this and also smiled faintly: "Thank you for your concern, Brother Chen."
After saying that, he walked towards the Marquis' Mansion.
Seeing this, Qin Junchen followed Xie Rongying's steps and asked in confusion, "Don't my sister-in-law and brother usually interact with each other?"
Xie Rongying didn't seem to understand the sarcasm in Qin Junchen's tone, and said in a contemptuous tone: "Why do you ask that, Brother Chen?"
Qin Junchen glanced sideways at Xie Rongying, who was walking side by side, and smiled faintly: "Since I came back, I found that my brother has been in my sister-in-law's courtyard. He seems to be a stranger to you, sister-in-law."
"So what?" Xie Rongying stepped on the stairs, calm and composed. "A proper couple is like this, just like a mother-in-law and a father-in-law. I didn't expect Chen Ge'er to be surprised."
When saying this, Xie Rongying and Qin Junchen looked at each other and said, "I thought Brother Chen was already used to the fact that your brother and I were not on good terms. After all, the story between the father-in-law and that concubine Zhou is also a good story."
Qin Junchen's heart suddenly trembled, and he laughed: "Are you saying that our Qin family is crooked because of the crooked top beam?"
Xie Rongying smiled and said, "Yes, it's rare that Brother Chen can understand."
The smile on Qin Junchen's lips disappeared instantly.
The corners of Xie Rongying's lips curled up even deeper, and her deep eyes followed the coldness on Qin Junchen's face, and the hostility hidden in them became more arrogant: "Since Brother Chen is fine, I will return to the East Garden first."
Qin Junchen stared at Xie Rongying deeply. Ever since he came into contact with Xie Rongying, he could always feel an indescribable coldness lingering around this woman.
When Xie Rongying was about to cross the gate, he spoke again: "Sister-in-law."
After saying that, he walked towards Xie Rongying.
Xie Rongying slowed down her pace, her expression showing a hint of impatience.
"Has sister-in-law always been so arrogant?" Qin Junchen asked with a joking smile.
Xie Rongying's eyebrows twitched slightly: "It is said that the eldest sister-in-law is the mother, so why is Chen Ge'er questioning the eldest sister-in-law like this?"
"I just want to remind my sister-in-law that you should abide by the rules of the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion." Qin Junchen said this with a warning: "If you are too arrogant, you might end up shooting yourself in the foot."
"The rules of the Yongyi Marquis's mansion?" Xie Rongying seemed to have heard something amusing. "The rules of the Yongyi Marquis's mansion are to favor concubines over wives?"
"No matter what the rules are, this is the residence of the Marquis of Yongyi." Qin Junchen finally understood that Xie Rongying did not take his brother seriously at all. No wonder his mother's plan failed in the end.
If a woman has never thought about relying on a man for her living, no matter how her husband's family plots, it will be of no avail.
Xie Rongying listened to Qin Junchen's righteous tone and smiled: "It's not your turn to talk to me about these things."
After saying that, he turned around and walked straight into the door.
Qin Junchen watched the group disappear at the gate and smiled coldly.
He asked, "What have you been busy with lately, brother?"
Qin Junchen hasn't seen Qin Junyi for several days.
"Recently, the young marquis has been keeping an eye on Qi Zhan in Kaifeng Mansion. I wonder how the investigation into the Duke of Ying's Mansion is going." Yi'an said.
Ever since the emperor asked the prince to transfer the investigation of the Duke of Ying's Mansion to Kaifeng Prefecture, Qin Junyi has become the prince's eye. No matter what the final result is, the prince has no intention of letting go of the King of Wei, who has been living in seclusion.
"Okay, go in." Qin Junchen's face became colder when he thought of Xie Rongying's face.

East Garden, in the wing room.
Cuizhi looked at Dongxue with her big eyes, then looked at Yunniang who was kneeling on the ground, and finally her gaze fell on her master.
Something is wrong. Something is very wrong.
"Miss, what's wrong with Yunniang?" Cuizhi asked cautiously.
Dongxue glanced at Cuizhi, who shrank her neck, closed her mouth, and immediately lowered her head.
"Yunniang, my Xie family has treated you well, and you've been loyal to me." Xie Rongying's face was cold. "It's just that this time, because of me, your parents have suffered, and as their master, I feel a little guilty."
"Miss, this is none of your business." Yunniang knelt in front of Xie Rongying and said, "It was the Second Young Master who wanted to deal with you. It was me and my parents who held you back."
After Xie Rongying learned that Yunniang's parents were held hostage by Qin Junchen, Bihuan and Dongxue approached her and took Yunniang to meet her parents.
I knew that Qin Junchen's self-directed and self-acted play was nothing more than to stop Yunniang from telling Xie Rongying about the matter.
"I'll find a way to rescue your parents. You're of marriageable age, and it's time for you to stay with your parents." Xie Rongying didn't like this feeling. If she hadn't returned to the Xie family today.
Yunniang was being played around by Qin Junchen and Bi Huan, which only brought her harm and no benefit.
"Miss," Yunniang also knew that her actions made Xie Rongying unhappy: "Your servant, your servant..."
"Okay, it's not a big deal, leave now." Xie Rongying rubbed his temples and sighed, "All of you leave now."
"Yes." Cuizhi and Dongxue said in unison.
After saying that, Cuizhi stepped forward to help Yunniang up, and walked out of the room with Dongxue.
After calming down for a moment, Xie Rongying leaned against the couch.
Thinking about Bi Huan's repeated inquiry before leaving Xie Mansion.
"Is what the young lady said true?"
Xie Rongying replied: "It depends on whether you believe me or Qin Junchen."
Bi Huan was silent for a moment: "This servant is naturally Madam Xin's."
"Then you should return to Zheng's side and listen to my arrangements."

The next day, near noon, the temperature in the house became increasingly hot.
Zheng was impatiently pulling the round fan from the hand of the maid when Bi Huan walked in and said cheerfully, "Madam, the young mistress of the main house has arranged ice bricks for every courtyard."
The girl beside her was surprised when she heard this: "Why is sister-in-law so generous all of a sudden?"
Zheng stood up and walked out of the inner room, fanning herself with a round fan. She saw the maids carrying ice bricks coming in, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"The young lady also arranged for the chef from Fanlou to come to the mansion, saying that she would hold a banquet today for the masters to get together." Bi Huan added.
Zheng chuckled: "This girl really has a lot of money. Shangguan Yao has been worried about money recently, and she waved her hand and got ice bricks and chefs."
"Mom, I want to go. You can't stop me this time." Qin Si walked up and took Zheng's arm. "Before, when my aunt was here, you wouldn't let me go. Now that my aunt is gone, you can't stop me."
"Okay, okay, go. It's a good opportunity to establish a good relationship with Xie. When you get married, she will give you a lot of dowry." Zheng had her own ideas, and she would definitely not offend Xie Rongying.
Zheng looked at Bi Huan and ordered, "Since the young lady has arranged these, our second room's people should also go to the main kitchen to help. You take some people with you."
"Yes, ma'am." Bi Huan bowed.
