Chapter 122 She is smart
No matter how bloody the situation was outside the East Garden, there was peace and tranquility inside the East Garden.
Xie Rongying listened to the news Cuizhi had heard from Linfeng Garden and chuckled as if she was not surprised.
"The second and third masters led their men to the young marquis's yard in a hurry, just because they were afraid that the young marquis would come back and take the young lady away. Unexpectedly, the young marquis still took the young lady away in the end." Cuizhi said speechlessly.
Xie Rongying put down the brush in her hand and said, "Qin Junyi is able to push all the things onto the King of Wei. I didn't expect it."
"In this way, the second and third masters will really think that King Wei is targeting the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion." Cuizhi said.
Xie Rongying smiled softly, her eyes falling on the letter paper. Seeing that the writing had dried, she folded the letter paper, put it into the envelope, sealed it, and said, "Give this to my father."
Cuizhi took the letter with both hands and stood up: "I will go right away."
"Tell my father to use the Xie family caravan to deliver this letter to my fourth uncle." Xie Rongying instructed.
Cuizhi: “Yes.”
After saying that, Cuizhi put the envelope away and walked out of the room. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Zheng walking towards her from the gate.
Cuizhi bowed and said, "Second Madam."
"Cuizhi, where are you planning to go?" Zheng came to Dongyuan more often and became familiar with the people in Dongyuan.
Cuizhi said with a smile: "Young Madam wants to eat the peach blossom cake from the shop in the east of the city. I am preparing to leave the house and go to the east of the city."
"The east city is very far away. Is there no one among you who knows how to make peach blossom pastry?" Zheng asked with a frown.
Cuizhi replied somewhat embarrassedly: "Neither I nor my sisters know how to do it."
"Go quickly, don't keep your young lady waiting for too long."
Cuizhi bowed again and said, "Then I will go first."
After seeing Cuizhi leave, Zheng walked towards Xie Rongying's room.
"Rong Ying."
The voice arrives before the person arrives.
Xie Rongying was arranging the account books and books on the desk. When she saw Zheng come in, she stood up to greet her.
"Second Aunt." Xie Rongying bowed.
Zheng stepped forward to help Xie Rongying up and said affectionately, "There are no outsiders here, why do you have to keep bowing?"
"The rules should not be abolished." Xie Rongying stood up and casually took a half step back, then made a "please" gesture: "Second Aunt, please sit here."
After Zheng sat down on the armchair, Xie Rongying walked towards the table and continued to tidy up.
Seeing this, Zheng asked, "Have you heard about what happened at Linfeng Garden just now?"
"What happened to Linfeng Garden?" Xie Rongying looked at Zheng with a puzzled look on her face. "What happened to Linfeng Garden?"
Seeing Xie Rongying's expression, Zheng told her about Qin Fengyuan and his group's trip to Linfeng Garden and the news Jiang Jin brought back from Kaifeng Prefecture.
"If you ask me, even if the King of Wei wants to deal with our Yongyi Marquis Mansion, Shangguan Yao cannot be kept. But Junyi seems to want to protect Shangguan Yao. Your second and third uncles can only watch Junyi arrange another place for Shangguan Yao." Zheng said in an unhappy tone.
Xie Rongying's face was filled with surprise. "How could such a thing actually happen? Wasn't it Shangguan Jing who killed Chen'er? That's beyond doubt. Why is the young marquis so partial to the murderer's sister?"
Upon hearing this, Zheng sighed, "So your second uncle is very dissatisfied with Junyi now. As the heir to the Yongyi Marquisate, he doesn't have the slightest consideration for the Marquisate's interests."
"What do Second and Third Uncles think now?" Xie Rongying seemed to be interested. She walked over to sit next to Zheng and said, "If Shangguan Jing is really related to the traitorous Shangguan family, then our Yongyi Marquis Mansion is inevitably implicated."
"What else can your second uncle mean? Junyi didn't deal with Shangguan Yao, so we had no choice but to come. We can't let everyone in the mansion be buried with him just for Junyi's favor." Zheng's tone was full of hostility as she spoke.
Upon hearing this, Xie Rongying picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea into it, then placed it on Zheng's small table: "Second Aunt, drink some tea, don't get angry."
"Rongying." Zheng held Xie Rongying's hand and said, "Your second uncle has another idea."
Xie Rongying raised an eyebrow, casually took it from Zheng's hand, poured herself a cup of tea, and asked, "Second Aunt, why don't you just speak frankly?"
"Look, your father-in-law is at the border, your mother-in-law and Chen'er are facing this situation, and Junyi is still a loser. Although he works for the Crown Prince, he doesn't care about the Marquis's Mansion at all." Zheng sighed as she spoke, "You are the only one in the First House who can be relied upon, but you are a woman after all, and you can't take on such a big responsibility."
"So what does Second Aunt want to say?" Xie Rongying asked with a raised eyebrow.
Zheng Shi pondered for a moment, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "Rongying, let your uncle take care of the affairs of this mansion. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Xie Rongying smiled faintly: "This should have been taken care of by Second Uncle. Since the young marquis is so careless in doing things, the Yongyi Marquisate cannot be destroyed in his hands."
It turned out that he was taking the opportunity to take away the power of the Marquis Yongyi's mansion from Qin Junyi.
She said that the second wife couldn't be so indifferent to fame and fortune.
Before, with the support of the Jiang family, the people from the second and third houses did not dare to act presumptuously.
Now Jiang is gone, and the resourceful and scheming Qin Junchen is also gone, leaving only Qin Junyi who only knows about love.
The second and third wives naturally no longer concealed their ambitions.
"That's all you need to say. Don't worry, Second Aunt won't treat you unfairly." Zheng said, picking up the teacup beside her. "From now on, this mansion will still need Rongying to help Second Aunt."
Xie Rongying chuckled softly, "Second Aunt, you think too highly of me. I don't understand the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion and I don't want to interfere."
Zheng naturally understood Xie Rongying's estrangement from the Marquis' Mansion. She said, "Don't worry, your uncle will definitely take care of Shangguan Yao. Junyi will definitely live peacefully with you in the future. This Marquis' Mansion is your home. How can you not understand your own family?"
Does this mean that Xie Rongying can't get rid of the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion?
Xie Rongying smiled faintly and looked at Zheng. She suddenly remembered that every time the three sisters-in-law in the marquis' mansion met, it was Bai and Jiang who argued, and only Zheng was the peacemaker between the two.
The Zheng family has a very good relationship with the Bai family and the Jiang family.
In the previous life, Jiang learned from her that Zheng was a weak person and her family was not well-off, so Jiang never took Zheng seriously.
In the end, under the support of the marquisate built by Jiang, Zheng's children all rose in status. Her son and daughter married into wealthy families based on the honor of being the eldest wife. Finally, they moved out of the marquisate and lived a smooth life.
Even his brother from his mother's side became the tutor of the prince born to the imperial concubine because of his relationship with the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion.
After he finally died of old age, Qin Fengyuan was still heartbroken for Zheng and soon followed Zheng.
The couple is loving and the children are filial.
It turns out that this is the smartest one.
"Rongying, we are all family, and we prosper together." Zheng said again.
Xie Rongying's expression remained unchanged as she smiled faintly, "I understand, Second Aunt."
