Chapter 128 Not really
How could Xie Rongying know about the conversation with Shangguan Yao and Qin Junyi in Linfeng Garden that night?
Xueqing couldn't possibly abandon Shangguan Yao.
There was no one else in the room that night.
"How did you know?" Wen Zi held the wine glass tightly, her eyes cold, but thinking that she was a little confused at this moment, her expression softened slightly, and the corners of her lips raised slightly: "So what if you know?"
Xie Rongying walked into the room, first looking around, then stopped in front of the round pear blossom table, tapping the surface with her fingers lightly, and said with a smile: "Isn't your master's current fate enough to prove what would happen if I knew?"
"So you're really colluding with the King of Wei!" Wen Zi suddenly stood up, murderous intent in her eyes, and demanded, "How did my master offend your Xie family? Why did you frame him like this?!"
Xie Rongying's smile remained unchanged as she softly asked, "Framed? Isn't Shangguan Jing Shangguan Yan's son?"
Wen Zi's eyebrows were tightly furrowed.
"Since you came to Bianjing to pursue fame and fortune despite knowing your plight, you should have considered the consequences of revealing your true identity." Xie Rongying slowly raised her eyes, a stern look in her eyes. "How could it be a frame-up for someone like Shangguan Jing to fall into the hands of the King of Wei?"
"How much do you know?" Wen Zi listened to Xie Rongying's words.
I thought the Xie family was investigating the Shangguan family in Longxi out of suspicion, but I didn't expect that Xie Rongying was so sure that the Shangguan family in Longxi was the same Shangguan family in Bianliang back then.
Xie Rongying sat down at the pear blossom round table and said calmly, "I don't know much, but not a little either."
"The Shangguan family hasn't offended your Xie family, nor has it offended you, Xie Rongying." Wen Zi seemed to have thought of something while speaking: "Could it be that Young Marquis Qin's heart isn't with you, and you're jealous and have transferred your hatred for Shangguan Yao to the Shangguan family."
After hearing this, Xie Rongying seemed to be unable to see the murderous intent in Wen Zi's eyes. She squinted her eyes and asked, "What do you intend to do by reaching out to my Xie family?"
Hearing this, Wen Zi retorted sarcastically, "Why, your Xie family is only allowed to reach out to the Shangguan family, but the Shangguan family is not allowed to lay hands on your Xie family?"
Xie Rongying lowered her eyes slightly, twisting the white jade bracelet on her left wrist with her right hand, and said softly, "Not really."
Wen Zi's gaze lingered on Cuizhi for a moment, a sneer curling up at the corner of her lips: "You brought a maid with you to question me. Do I overestimate you, or do you underestimate me?"
Xie Rongying raised her eyes, her lightly made-up face radiating coldness and beauty under the light. "Why don't you ask whether your people are dead or alive?"
"He's just a pawn used to take money and help others get rid of disasters. Why would I care about his life or death?" Wen Zi said with a smile, and the hand holding the wine glass relaxed a lot. "As for you, since you came to me voluntarily, don't blame me for being rude."
Xie Rongying chuckled and said, "Then we'll see if you have the ability."
The words fell.
Wen Zi's eyes were fierce. She raised the wine glass in her hand neatly and threw it towards Xie Rongying quickly. Almost instantly, the sound of the long sword cutting through the air passed by Xie Rongying's ears, quickly knocking down the wine glass flying towards Xie Rongying.
The wine glass fell to the ground and the long sword flew towards Wen Zi.
Seeing this, Wen Zi dodged suddenly. Just as she was about to grab the sword with her backhand, a black shadow flashed before her eyes. The hand she had just stretched out was suddenly slapped by someone, and she retreated repeatedly.
When she reacted, she saw Gu Xun in black, holding a sword and staring at her with a sinister look on his face.
Wen Zi held the wrist that had just been attacked by gravity and looked at Xie Rongying coldly: "So there is such a master around you."
Xie Rongying raised her red lips: "To deal with you, one master is not enough, there are more."
Wen Zi's expression changed slightly.
About seven or eight men in plain clothes rushed in from the door and quickly surrounded Wen Zi.
"Xie Rongying," Wen Zi could tell at a glance that the people surrounding her were agile: "You really are a mean person!"
"Mutually." Xie Rongying said, then stood up and walked towards the door.
Then he whispered, "Gu Xun, be careful of hidden weapons. I want to be saved alive."
Anyone who can follow Shangguan Jing around must have some sinister methods. How can Gu Xun alone be enough to deal with such a person?
To deal with him, you must kill him in one go and never give him a chance to breathe.
When Xie Rongying stepped out of the room, Wen Zi clenched her fists.
The moment Cuizhi walked out and turned to close the door, the sound of fighting was heard in the room.
At this time, Dongxue also rushed over. She first glanced at the door where the fighting sound came from, then walked to Xie Rongying and whispered, "Miss, someone has been sent to keep an eye on Xueqing, who is beside Shangguan Yao. I think we will know tonight where Shangguan Yao has been placed by the young marquis."
"Has Qin Junyi not returned to the Marquis' Mansion yet?" Xie Rongying asked.
Dongxue shook her head.
Xie Rongying sneered, thinking that Qin Junyi was still running around for Shangguan Jing.
However, after King Wei took Shangguan Jing away, the official residence seemed very quiet, and King Wei was also very quiet.
This is weird…
Xie Rongying seemed to have thought of something, and his expression darkened slightly.
His gaze fell on the crowd in the inn lobby who had begun to be alert to the sounds of fighting. He said, "Go talk to the innkeeper here and tell him we're doing some business here. Ask him to turn a blind eye and give us more money."
"Yes." Dongxue said and walked towards the lobby.
The worry between Xie Rongying's brows faded a lot, and she asked, "Cuizhi, what month is it?"
"Girl, it's already June." Cuizhi said.
Xie Rongying lowered her eyes and looked at her slender white hands, her brows slightly furrowed. It had been three months.
The trajectories of this life and the previous life have been completely separated.
"Miss, why are you suddenly asking this?" Cuizhi walked forward and asked cautiously.
Xie Rongying came back to her senses and said, "Fourth Uncle has been at the border for almost three months."
"Yes, the Fourth Master has been at the border for almost three months." Cuizhi agreed.
Xie Rongying's gaze fell on the lobby again, watching Dongxue talking to the shopkeeper. She listened to the fighting in the room which was still fierce, and raised her eyebrows slightly.
The King of Wei was holding Shangguan Jing in his hands, but the emperor remained indifferent.
But because of Qin Junyi, the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion had a real marriage relationship with the Shangguan family.
If the emperor abandons this clan that once bore everything for him, in the confrontation with the King of Wei, the Yongyi Marquisate will surely become an abandoned child under the imperial power.
It seems that she should plan carefully how to escape from the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion safely.
At this time, the door was opened.
"Master," Gu Xun shouted.
Xie Rongying turned around and looked at Gu Xun.
Gu Xun opened the door completely and signaled Xie Rongying that she could come in.
Xie Rongying saw a few traces of blood on Gu Xun's face, frowned, walked to the door, looked at the scene in the room, and her brows were almost twisted into a ball.
Except for one person who captured Wen Zi, whose mouth was covered in blood, almost all of her men were seriously injured.
She looked at Wen Zi coldly.
"Xie Rongying, I should have killed you the moment you entered this room!" Wen Zi said gritting her teeth.
Even at this moment, Xie Rongying was still very vigilant. She walked into the room and said, "I'm glad I arranged so many people."
