Chapter 108 A Big Gift
Walking up to Yi'an, he stretched out his hand with a cold face and slightly pried open Yi'an's jaw. The dried blood on the wound cracked under the strength of Qin Junchen's hand, and a lot of blood flowed out again.
The attacker was killed with one blow.
Qin Junchen withdrew his hand and looked at the blood on his fingers. The coldness in his eyes seemed to tear him apart.
He slowly closed Yi'an's open eyes.
Then he took out a handkerchief and casually wiped the blood off his hands.
As if remembering something, he threw the handkerchief to the ground and strode out of the room.
After about a quarter of an hour, Qin Junchen arrived at the most secluded and abandoned place in the woodshed not far from the large kitchen on the south side of the mansion.
Looking at the servant girl who had fainted on the ground, he looked towards the wide-open door of the abandoned woodshed.
He walked in and saw the rope on the ground in the dim light.
He picked up the rope, held it tightly in his palm, gritted his teeth, and said coldly: "Okay, Xie Rongying..."

East Garden, side gate.
Dongxue handed the bundle in her hand to Yunniang.
"You can't go back to the manor where your parents lived before. I've already made arrangements for you. Gu Xun will take you out of the city tonight. Don't think I'm letting you stay because I'm disappointed. I know the dangers of this Yongyi Marquis's mansion are so great that I won't allow what happened to your parents to happen again."
Yunniang listened to Dongxue's words, wiped her tears, and said, "I know how good the young lady is to me, but I feel bad that I have dragged her down this time..."
"Let's go." Dongxue interrupted Yunniang and softened her tone: "Take care."
Yunniang clenched the bundle in her hand and stepped forward to hug Dongxue: "Take good care of the girl."
After saying that, he let go and turned to walk towards the carriage.
Dongxue watched Yunniang get on the carriage, exchanged a glance with Gu Xun, and then the carriage drove away into the night.
The people from the second and third rooms, who had eaten and drunk their fill in the front yard, all spoke high-sounding words to Xie Rongying.
"This family still has to be managed by Rong Ying." Bai stared at Qin Junyi with a smile: "Junyi, your father is not at home, so the power of this mansion must be handed over to Rong Ying, the legal wife, to manage."
Everyone's gaze stayed on Shangguan Yao for a moment.
"Yes, Junyi, Rongying is still the one who should take charge of everything in this mansion." Qin Beiyuan echoed Bai's words: "After all, Rongying is the wife your mother chose for you. Look at today's banquet. Although most of it is vegetarian, it is prepared by the chef of Fanlou and is quite good."
"Uncle and Aunt, I will make the final decision on this matter." Qin Junyi still wanted Shangguan Yao to gain a firm foothold in this mansion, but he also knew that Xie Rongying would not treat Shangguan Yao well. "From now on, all matters in the mansion will have to be managed by Xie and Yao'er together."
"Junyi is so lucky. From now on, the mansion will be managed by your two daughters-in-law, and you can work for the prince with peace of mind." Bai said sarcastically.
Xie Rongying listened to the Qin family members talking one after another, but her mind was still on Qin Junchen after he left the table.
It was almost three quarters of an hour now, and Dongxue still hadn't appeared. She was afraid that something unexpected might happen.
Just as she was thinking of what excuse to use to leave, she saw Dongxue appear outside the hall. She did not walk into the hall, but stood at the door.
Seeing this, Xie Rongying finally felt relieved.
"Junyi." Qin Fengyuan turned to the main matter: "Have you found any results regarding the Duke of Ying's Mansion?"
When everyone heard about the Duke of England's Mansion, the atmosphere became much more gloomy.
"It's still under investigation." Qin Junyi said ambiguously.
Qin Beiyuan seemed to have thought of something, and his voice became much softer: "Is it really related to the King of Wei?"
Qin Junyi was slightly stunned and said, "Third Uncle, don't listen to rumors about things like this. Even if the King of Wei has other intentions now, it will only bring trouble if you continue to spread rumors without any evidence."
Hearing this, Qin Beiyuan smiled awkwardly, "Everyone's saying the massacre at the Duke of Ying's mansion was the work of the King of Wei. I also heard another rumor from Kaifeng mansion yesterday."
"What rumor?" Qin Junyi raised his eyebrows.
"I heard that the remains of the Duke of Ying's mansion's master are missing a young lady named Zhang." Qin Beiyuan's voice dropped considerably. "Back then, at the Grand Empress's Peach Blossom Banquet, Miss Zhang was secretly meeting with the King of Wei. However, the Grand Empress strongly opposed it and even betrothed Miss Zhang to the Crown Prince."
Everyone looked surprised when they heard Qin Beiyuan's words.
"The Empress Dowager forcibly broke up the couple, and the Duke of Ying's family, in an attempt to curry favor with the Crown Prince, forced Miss Zhang to marry him. The Prince of Wei, enraged by his beloved and driven by some old and new grudges, slaughtered the entire Duke of Ying's family and took Zhang Ruru away."
Qin Junyi listened to Qin Beiyuan's words, and the corners of his lips twitched slightly: "Absurd."
Xie Rongying half-lowered her eyes, hiding the emotions in them.
"So Zhang Ruru is still alive?" Bai Shi asked with a hint of surprise, "Is she really hidden by the King of Wei?"
Qin Beiyuan stared at Qin Junyi with a hint of solemnity: "Junyi, aren't you investigating this case for the Crown Prince? I think you can start with Zhang Ruru. The case of the Duke of Yingguo's mansion will definitely be solved."
Qin Junyi frowned slightly: "What does Third Uncle mean?"
"Let everyone know that Zhang Ruru is still alive and in the hands of King Wei. This way, no matter whether Zhang Ruru is in King Wei's hands or not, King Wei will come forward, and Zhang Ruru will also appear."
Qin Beiyuan and Qin Junyi looked at each other.
They all wanted to gain the trust of the Crown Prince Qin Junyi. After the Crown Prince ascended the throne in the future, the power of the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion would rise even more.
"Yes, Junyi, aren't things in this world all true and false, false and true?" Bai Shi also said seriously: "Don't you understand the principle of taking advantage of troubled waters?"
No matter whether it is true or not, as long as everyone believes it, it is true.
First, ruin the reputation of King Wei and pull him down from his high position. The winner will naturally have the final say on what happens next.
"Aunt San is right, Junyi." Shangguan Yao echoed.
The Qin family and the Shangguan family were originally minions of Emperor Ren De. In order to get rid of King Wei and keep Emperor Ren De in power, the two families would definitely work together.
Xie Rongying, who was silent on the side, picked up the teacup, but her hand shook as soon as she picked it up, and all the tea spilled onto her clothes.
"Young Madam, are you okay?" Cuizhi stepped forward to help Xie Rongying up, and then started wiping her with a handkerchief.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Xie Rongying said apologetically, "I'm so sorry. I'll go back to the yard and change."
"Sister, you've been busy all day. Let me take care of the rest." Shangguan Yao stood up and said.
Xie Rongying glanced at Qin Junyi and said, "Then I'll take good care of you."
After saying that, he looked at the elders of the Qin family and said, "Second uncle and second aunt, third uncle and third aunt, I will take my leave first."
Zheng immediately said, "Okay, you go back first."
Xie Rongying bowed and left the hall.
Dongxue immediately followed Xie Rongying and left from the curved corridor on the right.
After leaving the hall for a distance.
Dongxue finally spoke: "The person has been sent away, and Qin Junchen has also discovered it."
"Really?" Xie Rongying sneered, "Then I wonder if Second Young Master Qin will be able to eat the gift I give him."
