Chapter 11 This is a calculation
The East Garden is the easternmost courtyard of the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion. Ever since Xie Rongying moved from the main house of the East Garden to the west wing, after nightfall, apart from the lights in the west wing, there were only a few candles in the servants' rooms.
As a result, the East Garden seemed particularly deserted.
When Qin Junyi came to the East Garden, he saw that the main house was dark, and the anger that he had suppressed suddenly rose up. He walked towards the west wing where candles were lit.
It happened to collide head-on with Cuizhi who was holding the copper basin.
Cuizhi almost dropped the copper basin in her hand when she saw Qin Junyi appear before her. She calmed herself down, gripped the basin tightly, and saluted, "Young Marquis."
Qin Jun glanced at Cuizhi with a strange look. "Why hasn't your master moved back to the main house yet? Didn't I tell her during the day that we were going to rest in the East Garden tonight?"
"This..." Cuizhi looked embarrassed and whispered, "It's hard for me to guess what the young lady is thinking."
The implication is that this is what the young lady meant. Why are you asking me, a servant?
Qin Junyi looked at Cuizhi's expression and became even angrier. He walked past Cuizhi and headed towards the wing room.
At this time, Xie Rongying was not wearing any makeup and had taken off her pearl hairpins, looking like she was going to bed. After hearing Yunniang call her "Young Marquis", her face darkened and she turned around to see Qin Junyi appear in the room.
Qin Junyi glanced at Yunniang and said, "Get out."
Yunniang glanced at Xie Rongying, bowed, and left the room.
Xie Rongying put on her coat and looked sideways at Qin Junyi: "Young Marquis has been going to the East Garden quite frequently these past two days."
"Xie Rongying, have you had enough of this?" Qin Junyi suppressed the anger in his heart and was very dissatisfied with Xie Rongying's attitude. He thought that he had given Xie Rongying a way out, and Xie Rongying had to step down instead of making him lose face like this.
"Making a fuss?" Xie Rongying looked Qin Junyi up and down with a calm expression, neither sarcastic nor flattering. She completely treated Qin Junyi as a stranger. "I didn't make a fuss with the young marquis."
"Then what are you doing?" Qin Junyi frowned. "You are not satisfied with your mother making you busy as soon as you got married, and you are also dissatisfied with my coldness towards you. Now that the power of the family has fallen into the hands of Zhou, I will also care about you. What else do you want?"
Xie Rongying frowned slightly, looking at Qin Junyi's expression as if he was giving her alms, and chuckled softly: "Young Marquis, is there something you haven't figured out?"
Qin Junyi frowned.
"First, your mother proposed marriage to the Xie family because of our family's wealth. This shows that your Qin family is not sincere." Xie Rongying sat upright in the main seat, staring at Qin Junyi without blinking. "Secondly, after I married into your family, your mother wanted me to use my dowry to fill the gap in your Qin family's deficit. This is a calculation."
"Finally, it was you who, as a husband, didn't really want to live with me, but married me because I could use you. This is hypocritical and cunning."
"You are so calculating and treacherous, you think I'm making a fuss?" Xie Rongying smiled and said, "This is just my normal reaction after learning the truth. I hope that the young marquis will not make a big deal out of a small matter and finally put the blame on me."
Qin Junyi never expected that Xie Rongying could speak so calmly and slowly, leaving him speechless.
"Young Marquis said he wanted to rest in the East Garden. He simply wanted me to help your Qin family settle the debt owed to the court." Xie Rongying looked at Qin Junyi, whose face was becoming increasingly grim. "If Young Marquis had anything to say, just tell me. I, Xie Rongying, would have thought highly of you. I didn't expect Young Marquis to be so condescending to please me just to get my help. This is truly unmanly."
"Xie Rongying!" Qin Junyi didn't know when his position with Xie Rongying changed.
After Xie Rongying came in, she pretended to please Qin Junyi. Qin Junyi knew why Xie Rongying was pretending.
Now Xie Rongying doesn't care about the so-called reputation and rules at all. Instead, it is the Qin family that needs her, Xie Rongying.
Since you need help from others, you have to show the right attitude.
"Young Marquis is really easily angered." Xie Rongying stared at Qin Junyi with a sarcastic smile: "He can't stand a few words of truth. If the Qin family falls on hard times, what will the young marquis do?"
The word "down and out" seemed to irritate Qin Junyi. A murderous look suddenly appeared in his eyes and he rushed directly towards Xie Rongying.
Before Xie Rongying could react, she saw a figure flash before her eyes, and Qin Junyi pounced on her, starting to bite her neck with a cold look in his eyes.
The man's behavior was simply to vent his anger, and he was trying to make the woman submit.
What Xie Rongying said was completely throwing Qin Junyi's dignity to the ground and trampling on it.
How could Qin Junyi allow Xie Rongying to be superior to him?
The daughter of a merchant with a family business background dared to lecture him!
The more Qin Junyi thought about it, the more ferocious his hands became. Just as he was about to tear off Xie Rongying's underwear, he heard the sound of a heavy object colliding with skin and bones, followed by the sound of the teacup breaking and falling, splashing tea everywhere, and a hot stream slowly flowed down Qin Junyi's forehead.
Xie Rongying suddenly pushed the startled Qin Junyi away and immediately pulled up her coat: "Someone come! Someone come!"
Yunniang and Cuizhi came running in.
The scene was that blood was flowing down the man's forehead, and the woman was disheveled, with messy hair, staring at the man with anger on her face.
"Miss! Are you okay?" Yunniang stepped forward to check on Xie Rongying, fearing that something had happened.
Only then did Qin Junyi react and stared at Xie Rongying coldly. At this moment, he completely understood that Xie Rongying had not been playing hard to get with him these past two days, nor was she making trouble to attract his attention.
But I absolutely don't want to have anything to do with him.
Qin Junyi let the blood flow from his forehead. He sneered: "Xie Rongying, you are already my wife. This is a fact that you can't get rid of. You have to help the Qin family. If I lose power, you will not benefit!"
Xie Rongying pushed Yunniang away and chuckled, "Young Marquis, when you say this, I wonder if you've ever heard this saying: The most useless men would covet their wives' dowries."
Qin Junyi's expression became increasingly ugly.
"Since the young marquis is so useless, I'll help you this time." Xie Rongying smoothed the black hair by her ear, sat down, and looked up at Qin Junyi: "Go borrow the money from my father and have the IOU stamped with the official seal, how about that?"
These words made Qin Junyi's face, which looked a little embarrassed, even more ferocious. He stepped forward again but was blocked by Yunniang.
Yunniang: "Young Marquis! If you lay a finger on the young lady, the Xie family will not let you go!"
Qin Junyi glared at Yunniang coldly, then gave Xie Rongying a fierce look, then turned around and left the room angrily.
