Chapter 109 Save the Slave
The next day.
The guards around Qin Junchen suddenly died, breaking the peace of the Yongyi Marquis's mansion.
Since Qin Junyi went to Kaifeng Mansion early in the morning, and another guard lost his life, it did not cause much waves among the masters, but only made the servants in the mansion a little scared.
Jiang had just died not long ago, and people started dying in the mansion again. It was a bit creepy.
Shangguan Yao appeared.
After returning from Qin Junchen, her relationship with Shangguan Yao remained pretty good, just like that between a sister-in-law and a brother-in-law.
Yuehui Garden.
Shangguan Yao looked at the corpse covered by the white cloth, and after a moment looked at Xueqing.
Xueqing understood and left the courtyard.
Seeing this, Qin Junchen also asked the other people in the courtyard to leave.
"Brother Chen, my brother told me that you have been keeping an eye on Xie Rongying since our mother passed away?" Shangguan Yao said.
Qin Junchen's eyes fell on Yi'an's corpse and said, "Yes, but it seems that the other party is even more cruel and ruthless than I imagined."
He had just attacked the parents of Xie Rongying's subordinates, and hadn't even taken their lives yet, but Xie Rongying wanted to kill his confidant.
"Was it Xie Rongying who did it?" Shangguan Yao asked.
Qin Junchen nodded and remained silent.
Shangguan Yao's expression changed slightly, thinking about yesterday's banquet: "It seems that the only person they really wanted to entertain at yesterday's banquet was you."
Qin Junchen sneered, "I misjudged Yunniang's loyalty to Xie Rongying. I thought I could control her by controlling her parents, but all my previous calculations turned out to be in vain."
"Now is not the right time to deal with Xie Rongying." Shangguan Yao thought about the mess in the Yongyi Marquis's mansion, which still had to be solved by Xie Rongying. She frowned and asked, "What do you think?"
"What do you mean it's not the right time?" Qin Junchen stared at Shangguan Yao coldly. "Could it be that you, like your mother, still dream that Xie Rongying can fill the hole in the Marquis' Mansion?"
Shangguan Yao's face changed slightly. When she was about to say something, Xueqing's voice came from the courtyard gate.
"The Second Young Master and the Young Madam are discussing something. You are not allowed to enter."
Qin Junchen looked towards the courtyard gate and saw Bi Huan standing there timidly. His expression changed slightly and he said, "Little sister-in-law, you should go back first. I have my own way to deal with this matter."
Shangguan Yao glanced at Bi Huan and walked out of the courtyard without saying anything.
After Shangguan Yao left, Bi Huan walked forward cautiously.
"Second Master, I heard that Yi'an..." Bi Huan looked in the direction of the white cloth while speaking, and immediately lowered her head: "This morning, I found that Yunniang, who was with the young lady, was no longer in the East Garden."
Qin Junchen stared at Bi Huan with a scrutinizing look.
Bi Huan felt uneasy when Qin Junchen looked at her, but she still met his scrutiny: "Master, Master, please save me."
"Oh?" Qin Junchen raised an eyebrow: "Why do you say that?"
Bi Huan immediately knelt down and burst into tears: "This morning, the young lady went to my wife's place and said she wanted to take me away."
"You were discovered too?" Qin Junchen was not surprised. Xie Rongying was able to rescue Yunniang's parents, so it seemed that Bi Huan, whom he arranged, would also be discovered.
Bi Huan knelt at Qin Junchen's feet, tears streaking down her cheeks. "Please, sir, let me stay with you. I absolutely cannot go to the young lady."
Qin Junchen lowered his eyes and stared at Bi Huan, thinking about what Shangguan Yao had just said about dealing with Xie Rongying.
Instead of plotting to get rid of Xie Rongying, it is better to kill him with one blow.
It was naturally impossible for him to be the one who directly took Xie Rongying's life, and he was unwilling to let the people around him take this risk. So he could make good use of Bi Huan who was presented to him.
Qin Junchen helped Bi Huan up, a smile in his eyes: "I said before, I am very satisfied with you. Since you are working for me and being targeted by Xie Rongying, I will naturally protect you."
"Really, sir?" Bi Huan stared at Qin Junchen in disbelief.
Qin Junchen's smile deepened as he said, "There's no need to go back to Second Aunt. Just stay in my Yuehui Garden. I'll send someone to tell Second Aunt."
Hearing this, Bi Huan burst into tears of joy and knelt down again: "Thank you very much, sir, thank you very much, sir. This servant will definitely go through fire and water for you."
Qin Junchen likes someone who is loyal to him, especially a woman who can be used by him with just a wave of his hand.
"Alright, get up now. My people will go back and pack up and then come to Yuehui Garden."
"Yes." Bi Huan stood up and wiped the tears from her face.

Zheng was already happy in the morning because Xie Rongying came to ask for a maid, but when Qin Junchen's people came, she fell into anxiety. On the one hand, she didn't want to offend Xie Rongying, and on the other hand, she was angry because Bi Huan packed up her things and went to Yuehui Garden directly.
Perhaps Xie Rongying heard the news, so she sent Dongxue to Zheng's yard and said that since the second young master wanted to take the person away, she would not take it away from him.
Only then did Zheng feel relieved.
In order to make Bi Huan feel that he really values her, to make better use of her and to make her a sharp weapon in his hand, Qin Junchen always takes Bi Huan with him whether he is reading or going out of the house.
This day.
Qin Junchen received a letter from Shangguan Jing, saying that he wanted to meet him at Fanlou for something.
He saw that the handwriting on the letter was Shangguan Jing's, so he didn't have any doubts. In addition, when he walked out of the mansion, he saw Shangguan Yao leaving the mansion. During the conversation, the two learned that they were both going to Fanlou.
The information was also given by Shangguan Jing, so the two of them had no doubts at all.
After arriving at Fanlou, the two went to the room specified in the letter.
After the two entered the room, they found that Shangguan Jing had not arrived yet.
"Why is my brother not here?" Shangguan Yao looked around the room with some confusion, and sat down at the pear blossom round table while speaking.
Qin Junchen sat down next to Shangguan Yao and said, "He must have been delayed by something. Didn't we hear that Xie Lin came to Bian Jing these two days? He must be investigating Xie Lin."
Shangguan Yao started coughing just as she was about to speak. She thought that coughing twice would be enough, but she ended up coughing continuously.
"Are you okay, little sister-in-law?" Qin Junchen saw Shangguan Yao covering her mouth and coughing, so he picked up the kettle and poured water into the cup. Then he handed the cup to Shangguan Yao: "Drink some water first."
Shangguan Yao took it and drank it all in one gulp, which resulted in her choking even worse.
Qin Junchen patted Shangguan Yao's back repeatedly because he was close to her: "Are you okay, little sister-in-law?"
Xueqing also walked forward and was about to say something when the door was pushed open.
"What are you doing?" Shangguan Jing walked into the room with a grim expression.
Perhaps Shangguan Yao's cough was too severe, Qin Junchen was so focused on Shangguan Yao that he didn't pay attention to Shangguan Jing's voice.
At this time, Bi Huan walked to the door, stood close to it, and watched Shangguan Jing walk towards Qin Junchen.
Xueqing looked at Shangguan Jing who was walking towards her, and was about to say something when she was pushed away by Shangguan Jing. The moment Xueqing was pushed away, she clearly saw that Shangguan Jing's eyes were red, and even his strength was astonishing.
Shangguan Jing stepped forward and grabbed Qin Junchen: "I'm asking you what are you doing!?"
Qin Junchen saw that it was Shangguan Jing and said, "Brother Shangguan, my sister-in-law..."
The next moment, Shangguan Jing grabbed Qin Junchen's throat.
Qin Junchen's breathing stagnated: "You, let go..."
