Chapter 139 She is at the Jiang Family
Ever since the second and third wives of the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion did not gain any benefits in Linfeng Garden, they no longer worried about the 100,000 taels of silver in the treasury.
Despite this, Bai would still say a few sarcastic words to Xie Rongying when she occasionally met her in the mansion. However, she never gained any benefits from Xie Rongying, and always left with a pale face in anger.
However, Zheng has had a very good relationship with Xie Rongying these days, although she doesn't go to Dongyuan every day.
But no matter how big or small the matter was, they would go to Dongyuan to let Xie Rongying make the decision.
Moreover, everyone in the mansion noticed that the young marquis went to the East Garden much more frequently than before.
It seems that the relationship between the young marquis and the young lady has eased a lot.
"Rongying, the day after tomorrow is Junyi's grandmother's birthday. Have you thought about what to give her?" Zheng asked directly as she walked into the study in the East Garden.
Xie Rongying had just finished checking a batch of account books and put down her wolf-hair brush when she looked up and saw Zheng walk in.
"It was prepared a few days ago."
Zheng had long been familiar with Xie Rongying, so she wasn't as reserved as before. She walked over and sat down at the other end of the desk. "Rongying, I have some news for you."
"What news?" Xie Rongying saw the smile on Zheng's face, which made her inexplicably curious.
Zheng leaned slightly against the desk, glancing at a sheaf of account books before saying, "Today I went out of the house to Jinming Tower, and I ran into Jiang Wangshi."
Xie Rongying raised an eyebrow and glanced at Zheng, then continued to sort out the account books: "What happened when I ran into Jiang Wangshi?"
"It's not surprising to see Mrs. Jiang Wang. What's strange is that she's selecting fabric for a child." Zheng became increasingly excited as she spoke. "Her son isn't married yet, and there's a pregnant woman in the Jiang family mansion?"
Xie Rongying said casually: "Maybe her son's concubine or the concubine is pregnant."
"Impossible." Zheng shook her head. "Based on my understanding of Jiang Wangshi, it is absolutely impossible for her son to have a bastard child before he gets married."
"What's more, she was so brazenly selecting fabrics in Jinming Tower." Zheng chuckled, "So it's definitely not her son's concubine or maid who's pregnant."
Upon hearing this, Xie Rongying felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't remember what it was.
"Didn't Second Aunt meet Jiang Wangshi? Why didn't you ask her clearly?" Xie Rongying said.
Zheng sighed: "Ever since your mother-in-law passed away, the Jiang family seems to have a lot of resentment towards our Qin family. Before I even got close, they glanced at me and left."
"Then how did Second Aunt know that I was choosing fabric for the baby?"
Zheng said, "I heard that Jiang Wangshi was asking the owner of Jinminglou if she could make clothes for her newborn baby."
Xie Rongying did not respond and continued to work on the matter at hand.
Seeing this, Zheng knew that Xie Rongying was not very interested in the Jiang family's affairs, but she thought that the marriage with the Jiang family could not be broken off in the future.
She continued, "Rongying, now that your mother-in-law is gone, for Junyi's sake, you should interact more with the Jiang family. Also, you have to take good care of your mother-in-law's dowry."
"Second Aunt, I've already had my mother-in-law's dowry returned to the young marquis, as well as your silver. You can go and discuss it with the young marquis. He'll understand that it's not easy for you, and he should let you take the 100,000 taels of silver."
Zheng felt inexplicably unhappy when she heard what Xie Rongying said.
It was as if the affairs of the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion had nothing to do with Xie Rongying.
Just as Zheng was about to speak again, Cuizhi's voice rang out from outside the door: "Greetings, young marquis."
When Zheng heard that Qin Junyi was coming, a strange look flashed in her eyes.
After all, she still didn't want to see Qin Junyi and Xie Rongying have a harmonious relationship. Once Xie Rongying and Qin Junyi had a harmonious relationship, it would mean that it would not be good for her.
"Rongying, since Junyi is back, Second Aunt will leave first and won't disturb you two from being together." Zheng stood up and said with a smile.
Xie Rongying smiled faintly: "Then I won't send Second Aunt off."
The moment Zheng turned around, Xie Rongying's expression turned gloomy.
Zheng had been coming to her every day these days, simply because she wanted to get in on the Xie family's business. Since her plan with Xie Ting didn't work, she now had her sights set on her.
"Junyi, you're back." Zheng looked at Qin Junyi as he walked in and greeted him with a smile.
"Second Aunt, won't you sit for a while?" Qin Junyi really didn't understand why Xie Rongying could get close to Zheng but not to Jiang.
"No, I won't disturb you and Rongying. Second Aunt is leaving first." After saying this, Zheng walked out of the study.
Qin Junyi turned his head and watched Zheng leave before looking back. At this time, Xie Rongying had already asked Dongxue to put away the account book. He could see Xie Rongying's vigilance against him. During this period, whenever he stepped into Xie Rongying's territory, let alone the account book, even the handwriting on the account book would be taken away before he could read it clearly.
Qin Junyi should obviously be unhappy with Xie Rongying's behavior.
But for some reason I didn't feel unhappy, instead I found it quite interesting.
"What is the reason for Second Aunt to come here today?"
Xie Rongying looked up at Qin Junyi, who seemed to be possessed, and smiled faintly: "He said that the day after tomorrow is the birthday of the young marquis' grandmother, and asked me if I had prepared a good gift."
"I'm here for this too. Have you prepared anything?" Qin Junyi casually sat down on the armchair. "You don't need to prepare anything expensive. Just something passable will do."
"It's ready." Xie Rongying thought about what she had to do, which was naturally to prepare gifts and go to the Jiang family.
Otherwise, why would she go to the Jiang family when she had nothing to do?
Ever since Qin Junyi took the prince's words to heart, he has become more and more fond of going to the East Garden. Although he doesn't come there often, he stays longer each time.
"You will go with Yao'er the day after tomorrow. I will take care of my business and then go to the Jiang family. Do you think it's feasible?"
Xie Rongying chuckled: "Since the young marquis has said so, then I certainly have no objection."
"You have no objection, and Yao'er has no objection either. Then this matter is decided. I will go back to Linfeng Garden first." Qin Junyi stood up after he finished speaking, glanced at Xie Rongying with a smile, and then walked out of the study.
At this time, Dongxue approached Xie Rongying and said in confusion, "Is the young marquis crazy? He actually discussed things with the young lady and now he has to ask for her opinion on everything."
Xie Rongying sneered: "If the hard way doesn't work, try the soft way."
It's a pity that she won't listen to any persuasion.

In Linfeng Garden, Xueqing walked into the main house with a letter in her hand and a serious expression.
Seeing Shangguan Yao taking a nap on the couch, he walked over, squatted down, and whispered, "Madam, wake up."
Shangguan Yao opened her eyes, frowned, and there was great anger in her eyes.
"Madam, this is a letter from Zhang Ruru to you." Xue Qing said in a low voice.
Shangguan Yao suddenly sat up from the couch when she heard Zhang Ruru, took the envelope from Xueqing's hand, and looked at the contents of the letter. After a long while, she said in a calm voice, "She is actually in the Jiang family?"
