Chapter 107 Gathering in the Front Yard
In the evening, the masters of the second and third houses of the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion gathered in the main hall of the main house.
Qin Junyi learned from Shangguan Yao that Xie Rongying had suddenly become interested in the Qin family. From the ice bricks in each courtyard, to the monthly wages for the servants in the mansion, and to the chef invited from Fanlou, all were paid for by Xie Rongying out of his own pocket.
Qin Junyi couldn't help but change his mind about Xie Rongying.
After all, Qin Junyi later slowly discovered that Xie Rongying was not the kind of woman he had previously thought.
But later on, Jiang's death happened again, which made Qin Junyi always feel that Jiang's death was planned by Xie Rongying.
But later, Qin Junyi learned from the eldest son of the Marquis of Dongchang that before the accident, Jiang had gathered with several noble ladies, and they all said that Jiang praised Xie Rongying for handing over Wanmiao Village to her.
I also learned from Mother Yuan that the Wu brothers had wanted to attack Jiang since the first time she entered Wanmiao Village.
But because Jiang promptly agreed with Wu Dawei's opinion, he finally took away 50,000 taels of silver.
During this period, Qin Junyi stayed in Kaifeng Prefecture. While watching Qi Zhan doing his work, he was also thinking that the three brothers of the Wu family in Wanmiao Village were dissatisfied with the Xie family handing over Wanmiao Village to the Jiang family, which led to the accidental death of Jiang.
It doesn't seem to have much to do with Xie Rongying.
But thinking that Xie Rongying was still indifferent to him, Qin Junyi couldn't help but blame Xie Rongying for Jiang's death.
"Junyi, what's the reason why my sister suddenly did this?" Shangguan Yao was tidying Qin Junyi's clothes and said gently, "She invited my second uncle and third uncle as well. It seems like she has something important to discuss."
"As long as she can support the Marquis' Mansion, no one in the mansion will need to use my mother's money for subsidies, so it doesn't matter what she does," Qin Junyi said.
Shangguan Yao finally adjusted Qin Junyi's collar and looked up at him: "Sister is one of the most beautiful women in Bianjing City. Are you really not attracted to her?"
Qin Junyi held Shangguan Yao in his arms and said, "Don't I know that she's pretty and has money?"
"So why didn't you listen to mother and try to please your sister? If you had coaxed your sister, how could this mansion be so poor?" Shangguan Yao grumbled.
Qin Junyi smiled faintly: "If I really go to coax her, you will be unhappy again."
"Hateful." Shangguan Yao said coquettishly.
At this time, Xue Qing walked in, bowed, and said, "Young Marquis, Madam, someone from the East Garden is here to invite you."
"You go and tell him that the young marquis and I will be there soon." Shangguan Yao said in a calm voice.
Xue Qing said respectfully, "Yes."

In the front hall of the Marquis' Mansion, Xie Rongying was arranging the dishes for the banquet.
All the masters of the Qin family who were supposed to come have come, except Qin Junchen.
Bai and Zheng showed up early. Seeing Xie Rongying talking to them skillfully and even saying nothing wrong, they felt that they had really underestimated the eldest daughter of the Xie family.
"What do you think? If we hand over the power of the Marquis' Mansion to Xie now, will our Qin family prosper?" Bai whispered to Zheng.
Zheng smiled and said, "As long as the harem is peaceful and there are no troubles or problems, won't it be prosperous?"
As they were talking, Xie Rongying came over and said, "Second Aunt, Third Aunt, is there anything missing from the table?"
"Oh, Rongying, what's wrong with this? It's simply perfect." Bai walked forward and took Xie Rongying's hand, praising her non-stop.
At this time, Xie Rongying saw the winter snow appearing at the moon gate of the courtyard out of the corner of her eye.
Dongxue just nodded slightly.
Xie Rongying glanced at Dongxue, and Dongxue understood and disappeared at the moon gate again.
At this time, Qin Junyi and Shangguan Yao also arrived.
Qin Fengyuan and Qin Beiyuan greeted Qin Junyi and motioned Qin Junyi to come over.
Seeing this, Shangguan Yao could only walk towards Xie Rongying.
Over there, Qin Fengyuan and Qin Beiyuan were praising Xie Rongying for being sensible, which made Qin Junyi no longer treat her coldly.
Shangguan Yao couldn't help feeling uncomfortable after hearing these words, but at this moment she could only walk up to Xie Rongying and salute them.
"Second Aunt, Third Aunt, Sister." After paying his respects, he stood up and glanced at Xie Rongying.
"Why didn't the second young master come?" Xie Rongying asked.
Shangguan Yao was a little surprised. She glanced towards the main hall and saw that Qin Junchen was indeed nowhere to be found. She then said to Qin Junyi's guards who were waiting at the side, "Go and see why the Second Young Master hasn't come."
"yes."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Junchen walked out from the corner of the curved corridor on the left.
"The second young master is here." said the guard.
Everyone looked in the direction of Qin Junchen.
Bai looked at Qin Junchen approaching and jokingly said, "Brother Chen, are you fishing in the pond again? That's why you're late?"
"It's not too late, Third Aunt." Qin Junchen smiled, "You haven't even taken a seat yet."
At this time, Xie Rongying had already walked into the main hall. Looking at the dishes on the table, she said, "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, everyone is here. Let's all take our seats and start eating."

At the same time, in Yuehui Garden on the west side of the Yongyi Marquis Mansion.
Bi Huan and Yi An argued, "Shouldn't we let Yun Niang meet her parents again so she can trust me more?"
"You can't bring her to meet her parents without the master's consent."
"What if she tells the young lady about this and ruins the Second Young Master's plans? Can you bear the consequences?" Bi Huan said in a bad tone, "The masters are all in the front yard now. Yunniang just wants to see how her parents are doing."
"No, you'd better go away. Don't think that you are the master just because the master said a few nice words to you." Yian looked at Bihuan with disdain.
Bi Huan's pupils shrank at Yi An's gaze. After a moment's hesitation, she said, "Then I'll go and take a look, okay? I'll take a look for her, tell her when I get back, and then try to convince her to work for you with peace of mind."
Yian stared at Bihuan without blinking, as if he was doubting the truth of Bihuan's words.
"Isn't this possible?" Bi Huan asked with a raised eyebrow.
"It's not in the young master's courtyard." Yian said.
"Where is it?" Bi Huan asked.
Yi An pondered for a moment and said coldly, "You go back first and wait for the young master to come back. I will report to the young master and then you can take action."
As soon as the words fell, Yi An felt the sharp blade on his neck, and a cold voice came from behind him: "Where are you, or I will kill you."
Yi An felt a sharp pain in his neck and spoke tremblingly, "In, in, in the woodshed of the big kitchen."
Gu Xun looked at Bi Huan, and Dong Xue also appeared in the dark, and the two ran towards the big kitchen.
"Now, can you let me go?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp blade with a cold glow flashed, a muffled groan was heard, and Yian fell in front of Gu Xun with his pupils wide open.
Half an hour later.
Qin Junchen returned to the main house of Yuehui Garden. When he opened the door, he saw Yi'an sitting in the main seat with his pupils wide open and his neck covered in blood, staring at him.
The picture is weird and creepy
Seeing this, Qin Junchen took a step back and walked into the house with gritted teeth.
