Chapter 206 Finally Begins
When Zhou saw Qin Junyi coming in, she knelt at Qin Junyi's feet.
"Junyi, Junyi, I know your mother and your father have been at odds for years because of me, but now your father can't sleep every night because his legs hurt in the cold room." Zhou looked up at Qin Junyi and said, "Please ask Rongying to bring some charcoal to your father's room. Auntie, please."
"Isn't there charcoal fire?" Qin Junyi looked at Xie Rongying in confusion.
Seeing Xie Rongying acting as if it had nothing to do with her, he almost couldn't hold back his anger.
"Those charcoal fires are completely useless. Not only do they burn quickly, but they also smell bad." Zhou immediately began to sob again, "Junyi, this mansion is yours. Your father is also thinking about you. Ask Rongying to send some to your father..."
"That's enough." Xie Rongying stared coldly at Zhou and Qin Junyi. If she hadn't wanted to use Qin Junyi one last time, she wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to the people in the Yongyi Marquis's mansion. "I'll send someone to deliver some to the Marquis's residence later."
Qin Junyi said coldly, "Shouldn't every courtyard have one? Xie Rongying, when mother was in charge, she never let anyone in the Marquis' Mansion suffer from the cold."
"Be the head of the family?" Xie Rongying stared at Qin Junyi as if she was watching a joke. "The Marquis is here, the elders are here, when will it be my turn as the head of the family? Even if I can be the head of the family, I can only be the head of the family if my family can provide it. Do I have to go to my parents' home to get money to subsidize my husband's family?"
Qin Junyi really couldn't say the words "of course you can".
"Stop arguing, stop arguing." Zhou wiped her tears, stood up and walked over to Xie Rongying: "Rongying, I don't ask for anything else. As long as the Marquis can spend this winter in peace, I will definitely be grateful to you."
"No need, Aunt Zhou." Xie Rongying smiled faintly, "I cannot bear your gratitude."
Qin Junyi thought of something else to discuss with Xie Rongying, and said, "Okay, Aunt Zhou, since she has promised to send silver charcoal to father's yard, you should go back and take good care of father now."
Upon hearing this, Zhou wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and bowed, "I'll take my leave."
After Zhou left, Qin Junyi glanced at Cuizhi and Dongxue.
The two of them understood and walked out of the room behind Fu.
Xie Rongying had no intention of speaking.
Qin Junyi's face flashed with anger. He had never been treated so coldly as he was by Xie Rongying. He took a deep breath and said, "Rongying, when did you say you could start?"
Xie Rongying smiled faintly: "That depends on when the young marquis brings Shangguan Jing out of the Prince of Wei's mansion."
"The prince has confirmed the news, and it will be announced tomorrow." Qin Junyi said.
Xie Rongying raised an eyebrow: "Isn't the King of Wei in the mansion at this time?"
"After the Empress Dowager was placed under house arrest in Yanfu Palace, Prince Wei went to see the Emperor several times, but the Emperor remained indifferent. Prince Wei did not meet the Empress Dowager and went directly to Kaibao Temple. It was heard that she was going to recuperate in Kaibao Temple." Qin Junyi said.
Xie Rongying thought about Luo Jin's visit, and thought that he was probably here to tell her that King Wei had left Bian Jing.
"Can you guarantee that everything will be safe?" Xie Rongying's face showed a bit more caution.
"I've been preparing for a long time, just waiting for this opportunity." Qin Junyi felt a little relieved: "What should I do after Shangguan Jing comes out?"
"I told you, young marquis, to bring Shangguan Jing out of Prince Wei's mansion first." Xie Rongying's voice became a little colder.
Qin Junyi endured it, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay, wait for my news."
Xie Rongying smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for news from the young marquis."
Qin Junyi did not stay with Xie Rongying for long, thinking that he would slowly settle the score with Xie Rongying after everything was settled.
Now is not the time to argue or fall out with Xie Rongying.
After Qin Junyi left, Xie Rongying stood up and walked towards the window. She pushed open the window and a gust of cold wind suddenly rushed into the room.
Xie Rongying frowned, but there was joy in her eyes.
It started, and finally she could escape from the Yongyi Marquis Mansion.
——
The heavy snow that had fallen all night stopped on the second day. After the wind and clouds rose during the day, the sky over Bianjing was a deep blue at three quarters after 3 p.m.
The roofs were covered with snow.
As night falls, the air becomes bitingly cold again.
After sneaking into Prince Wei's mansion, the prince's men headed towards Prince Wei's dungeon along a route that had been preset countless times before.
For fear of alerting the prince and arousing suspicion, the prince's men did not kill the person guarding the dungeon directly when they went to the dungeon, but knocked him unconscious.
Shangguan Jing, who hadn't seen a stranger for a long time, saw three people in night clothes and face scarves getting up from the dungeon in a panic.
"Who are you? Are you from Longxi?"
The three men ignored Shangguan Jing's words, and directly cut off the chains with knives and pulled Shangguan Jing out of the dungeon.
He groped around in Prince Wei's mansion for nearly half an hour before leaving it safely.
On the way to escape, Shangguan Jing almost fainted due to lack of food and drink for a long time, until he got on a carriage.
When Shangguan Jing saw clearly that the person in the carriage was Qin Junyi, his eyes turned red.
Qin Junyi smiled and said, "Brother Shangguan, long time no see."
Shangguan Jing grabbed Qin Junyi's wrist and said, "Junyi, are you okay? Is your sister okay? Did father send someone to Bianjing?"
"No, it's the prince's man." Qin Junyi stared at Shangguan Jing with eyes that deepened an inch.
Shangguan Jing took a few deep breaths when he heard this. He was not surprised. He knew that the prince wanted to win over his father very much.
"It turns out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Qin Junyi nodded: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has put in a lot of effort to rescue Brother Shangguan."
Shangguan Jing frowned: "Where are we going now?"
"Go see the prince." Qin Junyi replied.
Shangguan Jing clenched his hands, which were only left with a layer of flesh, into fists. He knew the prince's thoughts on the Shangguan family, but what made him even more heartbroken was that his father had no mercy on him just because he fell into the hands of King Wei. He thought it was his father's man, but he didn't expect it to be the prince's man.
"What are you thinking about, Brother Shangguan?" Qin Junyi asked.
Shangguan Jing came back to his senses and said, "I'm not thinking about anything." He then asked, "Sister, have you received any news about my father coming recently?"
"No." Qin Junyi repeated what Emperor Ren De had told him to do in Longxi. "Yao'er is in Longxi now. It's too dangerous to stay in the Yongyi Marquis's residence. I told her that I would bring her back after I dealt with Xie Rongying."
Shangguan Jing pondered for a moment after hearing this: "So the emperor has this intention."
As he spoke, Shangguan Jing drew aside the curtains and recognized the street in the dim light. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "This doesn't seem to be the way to the Prince's Mansion."
"The prince and the emperor are waiting for Brother Shangguan in the palace." Qin Junyi explained softly.
