Chapter 123: No Help
The night light overflows in a two-story courtyard far in the south of the city.
Only one light was on in the main house.
Shangguan Yao didn't know how long she cried, and no matter how Qin Junyi comforted her, it was of no use.
Finally, Wen Zi stepped forward and said, "Miss, if this doesn't work, let's go back to Longxi first."
Shangguan Yao, who was lying on the bed, suddenly sat up and glared at Wen Zi with her head tilted up: "Go back to Longxi? Will going back to Longxi help my brother escape from the hands of King Wei?"
"There's no other way now. My brother has fallen into the hands of the King of Wei, and he's doomed. There's no way around it." Qin Junyi knew Shangguan Jing's feelings. "What's more, the King of Wei took my brother away under such pretext. Even if I begged the Crown Prince and the Emperor, there's nothing I could do."
"Is that it?" Shangguan Yao cried out, "Am I just going to watch my brother die at the hands of the King of Wei?"
"Yao'er, you need to calm down." Qin Junyi walked forward and hugged Shangguan Yao: "I can't let you be in danger. Let's calm down first and think of a solution, okay?"
"It's all Xie Rongying's fault!" Shangguan Yao pushed Qin Junyi away and stared at him with intense hatred: "It's all because of you marrying Xie Rongying!"
"She killed your mother, your brother, and now she and the King of Wei have killed my brother!" Shangguan Yao's face was covered in tears, and her tone was excited. "The day before yesterday, her brother went to her courtyard, and today my brother was taken away by the King of Wei. Who in Bianjing doesn't know that the son of the Fourth Master of the Xie family is close to the King of Wei?!"
"It's all because of Xie Rongying! All of this happened because of Xie Rongying!"
Qin Junyi's eyebrows knitted slightly: "Xie Ting has been to the Marquis' Mansion?"
"Yes, young marquis." Wen Zi said, "This servant discovered it by accident."
Qin Junyi's face grew serious. He stepped forward and said, "Yao'er, calm down first. Don't get excited. I will ask the Crown Prince for help with your brother's matter. Your safety is what I care about most. You can't go back to the Marquis' Mansion yet. Stay here first."
Shangguan Yao stared at Qin Junyi, her tone pleading: "Junyi, Xie Rongying can't stay any longer. Even if she has a strong life, we can't take her life. Can you divorce her?"
"Okay." Qin Junyi looked at Shangguan Yao, whose eyes were swollen from crying, and agreed: "I know what you mean. I will divorce her."
"Think carefully, hasn't it been since Xie Rongying married you that things started to go wrong in the Marquis' Mansion?" The more Shangguan Yao spoke, the more she felt that what she said was right. It was as if she couldn't rescue her brother and wanted to drag someone else to be buried with her brother.
"Everything started because of Xie Rongying, Junyi!" Shangguan Yao's face was full of cruelty: "When Chen Ge'er went to ask Second Aunt for Bi Huan, Xie Rongying also went, but Second Aunt gave Bi Huan to Chen Ge'er, Junyi. This was all Xie Rongying's plan. It's all her fault!"
When Qin Junyi was about to say something, Wen Zi stepped forward, took Shangguan Yao into her arms, and said to Qin Junyi, "Young Marquis, the Marquis' Mansion is still waiting for you to make the decision. I will take care of Madam here."
Qin Junyi's face was also full of fatigue. He said, "Then Yao'er, I'll trouble you."
"Young Marquis, don't worry." Wen Zi assured.
"Yao'er, I'll go back first. I'll come to see you tomorrow." Qin Junyi said, gritted his teeth and walked out of the room without looking back.
Shangguan Yao watched Qin Junyi leave without any regrets, and cried even louder: "How could he be like this before, always staying with me."
"Miss," Wen Zi said in a much colder tone, "Before, the young marquis had his mother supporting him in the mansion, and at worst, he still had his younger brother. Now, the young marquis has lost all his relatives. If he doesn't go back, will he still have a place in the mansion?"
Sure enough, Shangguan Yao stopped crying after hearing this.
"Didn't you see the attitude of the second and third branches of the Qin family today?" Wen Zi's tone softened a lot: "If the young marquis didn't have you in his heart, would he have brought you out and settled you down? But now he needs to return to the marquis' mansion."
Shangguan Yao's face turned much paler.
"Miss, now is not the time to cry." Wen Zi squatted down and looked up at Shangguan Yao who was sitting on the bed. "I will tell the master about this. You can either return to Longxi or stay here and wait for the young marquis to take you back to the marquis' mansion."
After hearing Wen Zi's words, Shangguan Yao wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and said in a deep voice, "I won't go back."
Why does she have to suffer so much?
Why should her brother go to jail?
Why can Xie Rongying still live safely in the Yongyi Marquis Mansion?
Xie Rongying will have to suffer everything she suffered!
She actually harmed her brother.
Then don't blame her for giving him a taste of his own medicine!
Seeing this, Wen Zi smiled slightly and said, "Since you are not going back to Longxi, I will write a letter to tell my lord that the prince and the emperor don't care about me, and my lord will naturally find a way."
"Yes, father will find a way." Shangguan Yao said slowly, her eyes meeting Wen Zi's, and said, "That day we said we would start with Xie Rongying's closest relatives. Do you have anyone in Bianjing who you trust and can use?"
Wen Zi saw Shangguan Yao calm down so quickly: "Yes, there is, but this person is too aloof, I'm afraid he won't agree."
"How noble are you?" Shangguan Yao didn't believe that there were really noble people in this world. It was just that they couldn't be moved by the benefits offered.
Wen Zi pondered for a moment and said, "Miss, if you want to start with Xie Rongying's father, you must first understand his preferences. Even if the master of the Xie family likes women, he may not like every woman."
"What's the meaning?"
Wen Zi smiled faintly: "When the young master was investigating the Xie family, he did learn about the story between Xie Jing and his wife."
Shangguan Yao stared at Wen Zi and motioned for her to continue.
"I heard that Xie Jing and his wife Yan were childhood sweethearts, but for some reason they parted ways. Yan is no longer living in the Xie family, but in the nunnery." Wen Zi stared at Shangguan Yao without blinking. "Later, Xie Jing's harem began to have many wives and concubines."
