Chapter 21 Solving the Trouble
Seeing Xie Rongying's hesitation, Mother Yuan was a little unsure of the young lady's thoughts. She asked, "Does the young lady have any doubts?"
"Are you in such a hurry?" Xie Rongying stared at Yuan Ma without blinking. "I plan to go back to my parents' home the day after tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Madam Yuan's eyes flashed with anxiety. She said, "How could the young lady think of returning to her parents' home the day after tomorrow? Have you told anyone at home?"
"I did." Xie Rongying didn't miss the worry in Yuan's mother's eyes, although it quickly disappeared. She chuckled, "The last time I went back, I only stayed for an hour. This time, I was sick for so many days, and my father missed me. Now that I'm well again, I should go back and let him see me, so he won't worry."
Mother Yuan nodded: "Young Madam is right. After all, Young Madam is the only daughter of the master-in-law. She is sick, so it is inevitable that he will miss her and worry about her."
"Yes, so if we go to Kaibao Temple to pray the day after tomorrow, then my aunt will have to accompany my mother." Xie Rongying said disappointedly, "I'll go to Kaibao Temple to pray after I return to my mother's home. Anyway, my father and the young marquis won't be going to the border right now."
"Young Madam, it's because the Marquis and the Young Marquis might leave for the border at any time that Madam and her uncle chose the day after tomorrow. It's a very auspicious day." Madam Yuan spoke slowly, carefully observing Xie Rongying's expression before continuing, "It's no small matter for the Young Madam to accompany Madam. She's also the mistress of the Marquisate and the closest person to the Young Marquis. Going together shows her sincerity."
Mother Yuan spoke with great sincerity: "As the saying goes, sincerity is the key to success."
Xie Rongying listened to these high-sounding words with a subtle sneer on her lips. Thinking about what Xie Yi said about the emperor's intention to negotiate peace with the Jin Kingdom, she raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Is the border war so urgent?"
"That's what the Marquis said." Mother Yuan responded.
Xie Rongying stared at Mother Yuan without blinking. According to the trajectory of her previous life, Dayin and the Kingdom of Jin would definitely not negotiate peace this time, but Xie Yi would not lie, so there must be other reasons.
Why would the emperor in the previous life order Qin Junyi to go?
Even if Qin Junyi asked for permission to go to war, and the emperor wanted to negotiate peace, how did Qin Junyi change the emperor's mind?
There must be something else going on here.
"Young Madam?" Mother Yuan saw Xie Rongying staring at her with a scrutinizing and cold look, and her heart was raised, and her voice became much louder.
Xie Rongying came back to her senses and asked, "What's wrong?"
"The day after tomorrow, I will go to Kaibao Temple with Madam to pray for blessings." Madam Yuan said, fearing that Xie Rongying would refuse again: "I will go back and report to Madam, and leave first."
After seeing Mother Yuan leave, Cuizhi said dissatisfiedly, "She already said she wanted to go back to her parents' home, but she insisted on going to the temple with her. Why did she come to inform us after she made the decision? She can just let her go with her the day after tomorrow."
Xie Rongying smiled faintly: "I was just testing what Mother Yuan said, don't take it to heart."
"Why do you want to test me like this?" Yunniang asked.
"You are so anxious to make me follow you. There must be something wrong. It seems like something good is waiting for me." Xie Rongying said nonchalantly.
Yunniang and Cuizhi's expressions changed slightly.
Xie Rongying continued, "Tomorrow, after 3 p.m., Yunniang, go to the east gate and wait."
"yes."
——
The next day.
The maids in the north courtyard of the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion were busy preparing the items needed for going to the temple. Mother Yuan was counting in the courtyard, but the door of the main house was closed. Mother Yuan occasionally glanced at the closed door and then sighed.
Inside the tightly closed room, Jiang stared coldly at the kneeling Qin Junyi. "You mean you either let that woman in now, or I promise to take her away with me?"
"Yes, mother." Qin Junyi looked at Jiang, with determination and indifference in his eyes.
"Asshole!" Jiang's chest was filled with anger. "You're making things difficult for me just for a woman, right?!"
"Why would mother be embarrassed?" Qin Junyi sneered, "Mother always thinks ten steps ahead. Even if I am gone, I still have another son. Your other son is much more promising than me. I am not interested in the title, and mother knew it very early on, so she has always placed her focus on her younger brother. However, I am also burdened with the status of the eldest son. If father knew that my heart was not set on the title, he would have trained Zhou's son extensively. So mother has made me live in the rules and regulations you have woven for all these years."
Qin Junyi said with a smile on his face: "Even though mother knew that I had feelings for her, she still let me marry the eldest daughter of the Xie family for the sake of the Marquis's Mansion. Before the wedding, mother said that as long as I married Xie Rongying, as long as the eldest daughter of the Xie family entered the Marquis's Mansion, I could live as I pleased."
"What's the result? I'm being asked to deal with a woman I'm not interested in at all. Am I Mother's pawn or her son?" Qin Junyi stared at Jiang, who was sitting in the main seat, without blinking. "I guess Mother only sees me as a pawn to stabilize her position in the Marquis' Mansion. As for what this pawn thinks, Mother doesn't care."
"How dare you!" Qin Junyi touched upon the darkness deep within Jiang's heart that she dared not even face. Her face was grim: "I really raised a good son!"
"What? Was I wrong?" Qin Junyi stared at her coldly. "I've married the eldest daughter of the Xie family to you. Why can't you keep your promise? Or did the eldest daughter of the Xie family not meet my mother's expectations after entering the Marquis' Mansion? So she wants to continue using her son to deal with Xie Rongying?"
"You! You!" Jiang suddenly stood up and pointed at Qin Junyi: "You rebellious son!"
At this time, Mother Yuan also walked in. She hurried forward to Qin Junyi and said, "Young Marquis, why does Madam mean what you said? Madam has realized that the young mistress is difficult to control and will also harm the young Marquis, so she is resolving this problem as quickly as possible to give the young Marquis peace. Please don't misunderstand Madam."
Qin Junyi frowned: "Have you solved this problem?"
Mother Yuan sighed, "Yes, the young mistress is not on the same page with Madam, and she hasn't even offered to help the Marquis's family solve their urgent needs. How can someone who isn't on the same page stay here for long?"
Qin Junyi was a little dazed when he heard the words "how can I stay for long" and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Let's go to Kaibao Temple tomorrow. Young Marquis, just wait and see. You only have one wife, your beloved girl. Don't hurt your wife's feelings again. She has realized her mistake." Mother Yuan said earnestly.
