Chapter 116 Don't Think of Living in Peace
Xie Rongying's eyes darkened, and she smiled, repeating Shangguan Yao's words: "Is it about my second uncle?"
Shangguan Yao knew that Xie Rongying would have such a reaction.
She looked around and said, "Sister, this is not the place to talk. Why don't we go somewhere else?"
"You also said it was about my second uncle." Xie Rongying raised her lips slightly, her deep eyes flickering with a cold light: "What does it have to do with me?"
"You..." Shangguan Yao frowned, her eyes filled with shock and anger. "Don't you care about your family?"
Hearing this, Xie Rongying slowly rolled up her sleeves and raised an eyebrow, "I'm just a woman from the inner chambers, powerless. Even if my second uncle does something, what can I do? What's more, if the Xie family's sky falls, my father, fourth uncle, still has it to support them. You've got the wrong person."
Shangguan Yao really didn't expect Xie Rongying to say such a thing. She stared at Xie Rongying deeply and asked, "Sister, do you really not want to know about Xie Lin's affairs?"
"I don't want to know." Xie Rongying said, nodding: "I'll go first."
Shangguan Yao and Wen Zi watched Xie Rongying leave Qulang, each with a different expression on their faces.
"When we were in Wanmiao Village, I realized that this woman was different from other women in the inner chambers. I didn't expect that even the excuse of being a relative wouldn't be enough to influence her." Wen Zi looked at Xie Rongying in the distance, who had already started talking to Zheng, and whispered, "She's indeed a bit difficult to deal with."
Shangguan Yao's expression darkened. "She's so cautious. It seems she's involved in what happened at Fanlou yesterday."
She continued, "Before she married Junyi, I checked her out."
Wen Zi glanced at Shangguan Yao sideways.
Shangguan Yao continued, "Since entering this mansion, I've discovered that she isn't as rule-conscious as I suspected."
The first time he attacked Xie Rongying, she lost her unborn baby, and even Taoist Zhihui died.
From then on, Shangguan Yao suppressed her thoughts on dealing with Xie Rongying.
After all, besides her, there are many people who want to deal with Xie Rongying.
But things are different now. Jiang is gone and Shangguan Jing is in jail.
I started analyzing the situation in Fanlou last night, although the most critical person here is Xie Lin.
But why didn’t Xie Lin investigate the Shangguan family before?
Why did Xie Lin only start investigating the Shangguan family after Xie Rongying discovered her existence?
So, how much does Xie Rongying know about this?
How much more involved?
Was the incident at Fanlou this time because it was discovered that Shangguan Jing was keeping an eye on the Xie family?
Are you thinking about dealing with Shangguan Jing?
Shangguan Yao thought again of the conversation between Qin Junchen and Qin Junyi after Qin Junchen came back. Qin Junchen was very hostile to Xie Rongying.
Could it be that Qin Junchen has started to deal with Xie Rongying in secret?
Qin Junchen alarmed the snake by stirring up trouble.
So Xie Rongying was dealt with as well?
Thinking of this, Shangguan Yao became more suspicious of Xie Rongying.
Shangguan Yao stared at Wen Zi sideways: "If the person behind this is really Xie Rongying, how should we deal with it?"
"Deal with it?" Wen Zi raised an eyebrow. "Miss, stabilize the young marquis now and get him out of prison smoothly. Then think of other things."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yao's gaze fell on Xie Rongying, who was talking with Zheng in the distance, and she said, "As long as the young marquis can persuade the crown prince, my brother will be fine. What concerns me most now is that we cannot confront Xie Rongying head-on."
Recently, everyone Shangguan Yao saw who fought with Xie Rongying had a bad ending, so she would not easily deal with Xie Rongying.
Wen Zi smiled faintly: "What does the girl plan to do?"
"We can't confront Xie Rongying directly." Shangguan Yao lowered her eyes slightly and continued, "But we can start with the people around her."
"The maidservant beside the young lady?" Xue Qing asked.
Shangguan Yao said solemnly: "What's a maid? We have to start with the Xie family."
Wen Zi heard this and understood Shangguan Yao's intention. She looked in the direction where Xie Rongying had just been and said, "Since Xie Rongying is difficult to deal with, let's find someone else to deal with her."
Shangguan Yao laughed and hummed, "Then let's go back to Linfeng Garden first."
Shangguan Yao had no intention of going over. Now everyone in the Marquis' Mansion disliked her, so why bother going over and making things difficult for herself?
She came to find Xie Rongying because she wanted to find some clues from Xie Rongying.
Since he could see Xie Rongying's caution, it must be related to Xie Rongying.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Yao seemed to have thought of something.
She asked, "Xueqing, have you seen Yunniang recently?"
Xue Qing was silent for a moment, then said, "It's been a while since I last saw Yun Niang."
Shangguan Yao stopped and looked at Xueqing.
"Although I rarely met Yunniang before, I would occasionally run into her in the big kitchen. But during this period of time, apart from Cuizhi, there was no sign of Yunniang." Xueqing said.
Shangguan Yao frowned slightly, as she understood.
That Yunniang is Xie Rongying's confidant, how come she hasn't appeared for such a long time?
Also, why did Bi Huan, who was originally with Zheng, follow Qin Junchen?
"Xueqing, go ask Zheng from the second house why Bihuan from the second house went to Qin Junchen's yard?" Shangguan Yao said.
Xue Qing bowed: "Yes."
Xueqing turned around and walked to the other side.
Wen Zi asked, "Did you discover something?"
"For some unknown reason, Bi Huan has been following Qin Junchen a while ago." Shangguan Yao said.
"You mean what happened yesterday has little to do with Xie Lin, but has a lot to do with Xie Rongying?"
Shangguan Yao pondered for a moment and said, "After all, in the situation at Fanlou yesterday, Bi Huan was the most important character."
If we can find Bi Huan, this situation can be solved.
But Shangguan Yao also knew that Bi Huan could play such an important role in yesterday's game, so Bi Huan must be nowhere to be found.
But Xie Rongying can forget about living a peaceful life!

Xie Rongying, who was standing side by side with Zheng, looked at Shangguan Yao and her group leaving on the curved corridor, and a strange look flashed in her cold eyes.
"Rongying, what are you thinking about?" Zheng asked.
Xie Rongying came back to her senses: "Second Aunt, have Second Uncle and Third Uncle already gone to Kaifeng Mansion?"
"They must be going to Kaifeng Prefecture. Since Shangguan Jing admitted that he killed Chen Ge'er, he must be killed." Zheng said indignantly: "Your mother really did have a reason for not letting Shangguan Yao into the family. She is such a bad luck star. Only Junyi treats her like a treasure."
"Did your second and third uncles write to the Marquis who is far away at the border to tell him about Chen'er?" Xie Rongying asked again.
Zheng responded, "The letter was sent last night, expedited over 800 miles. Although we are family, it's not appropriate for us, the second and third houses, to interfere in your first house's affairs."
Xie Rongying looked relaxed, and withdrew his gaze from the curved corridor, he exchanged glances with Zheng. "I wonder if this will affect the Marquis's ability to lead his troops in battle."
"It will definitely have an impact, but we can't hide it." Zheng said with a worried look on her face. She clasped her hands together and said, "We must not allow any accidents to happen."
No one can accept the pain of losing a child.
What's more, Qin Junchen is the child that Qin Shiyuan values the most.
"The changes in the family are too serious to be concealed." Zheng said again.
Xie Rongying sighed slightly and said, "Yes, I can't hide it."
It would be better to learn that the child has been lost in an accident.
