Chapter 71 You Arrange
Two carriages were moving slowly on the official road dozens of miles away from Bianjing City.
Mother Yuan glanced at the sky from the window and said, "I originally thought that the light rain at the hour of Mao would continue all day, but I didn't expect it to be sunny now."
Jiang, who had been resting with her eyes closed, heard this and opened them, looking towards the window. She said, "It's different outside the city. I feel like I can breathe easier."
Mother Yuan then pulled up the curtains so that Jiang could see the view outside the window and said, "Madam, I wonder how the young mistress is doing at this time."
Mrs. Jiang's gaze lingered on Mother Yuan for a moment without speaking.
Seeing this, Mother Yuan also shut up.
The reason why she packed up her things and left the Marquis' Mansion at the end of the Mao hour was because last night Madam Yuan learned from people around Madam Xue that Duke Yingguo and Zhang Huai planned to attack Xie Rongying after the Chou hour last night.
The people around Qin Junyi conveyed Jiang's intentions to the prince, and the prince naturally knew that the British Guild would vent its anger.
Even though Xie Rongying has the Xie family behind her, the Xie family is nothing to be afraid of for the Duke of England and the Crown Prince.
Especially since Xie Rongying killed the only son of the Zhang family, and even Madam Xue died at her hands. Even though they had no definite evidence, the people of the Zhang family didn't need any evidence at this time, they just needed to vent their hatred!
Jiang knew that as long as the people from the Duke of Ying's Mansion took action, Xie Rongying would definitely lose his life.
In order to clear herself of the blame, she left the mansion at the end of the Si hour.
As for how the Zhang family dealt with Xie Rongying, that had nothing to do with her. She asked someone to notify Bai from the second house, and Bai would take care of the affairs of the mansion during the time she was away from Bian Jing.
"No matter what, I, as a mother-in-law, have done my best." Jiang said in a calm voice after a moment of silence.
Mother Yuan echoed, "Yes, if the young lady had been more flexible and understood that marrying into a marquisate meant devoting herself to her husband's family, how could she have ended up like this?"
"If you want to blame someone, blame the Young Madam herself. She's of no use to you, Madam, and even the young Marquis doesn't love her. She's even provoked the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion. If the Young Madam continues like this, the Mansion will be destroyed. Using the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion to solve this Young Madam's problem is the best thing for the Mansion."
Jiang chuckled twice: "You still understand me."
Mother Yuan echoed, "It's a pity that the young lady's dowry was taken back to the Xie family. If the dowry was still in the Marquis' Mansion and the young lady disappeared inexplicably, the Xie family would definitely not wait for a while to get it back."
Speaking of Xie Rongying's dowry, Jiang's heart ached. "Yes, according to the Duke of Ying's Mansion, they would definitely not let anyone know about Xie Rongying's death. Then she would have disappeared, and if she disappeared, the Xie family would not be able to get her dowry back for a while."
After saying that, she sighed heavily.
"Don't worry. Now is the chance to mend the hole in the Marquisate. It's just a matter of time. The land deeds, house deeds, and land deeds are all in your hands, Madam. Wanmiao Village is yours. As long as you manage it well, the Marquisate will prosper."
Jiang was in a much better mood: "I hope so."

At this time, in the East Garden of the Yongyi Marquis’ Mansion.
"Zhang Ruru isn't here?" Xie Rongying raised her eyes and stared at Gu Xun. "What do you mean? Is she in the Duke's Mansion where she wasn't here before, or is she in the Duke's Mansion where she escaped last night?"
"I checked everywhere inside and out. There is no sign of Zhang Ruru. There is absolutely no chance for her to escape from the mansion. It can only be that Zhang Ruru left the Duke of Yingguo's mansion before last night." Gu Xun said.
Hearing this, Xie Rongying chuckled and said, "She really has a tough life."
"I will secretly investigate Zhang Ruru's whereabouts." Gu Xun said.
Xie Rongying retracted her gaze and said calmly, "Find him as soon as possible and get rid of him."
She would not look down on anyone. Even if Zhang Ruru didn't know who was behind the massacre at the Duke of Ying's Mansion, given the grudge between her and Zhang Ruru, Zhang Ruru definitely had no intention of letting her go.
As the saying goes, it is easy to dodge a gun but hard to guard against an arrow. When people are close to madness and have no other way out, they will catch the person they hate the most and send him to hell.
"yes."
Xie Rongying asked again: "Where are Liu Wen and Yang?"
"He went to see his father."
Xie Rongying frowned, then raised her eyes and stared at Gu Xun.
"Master, don't worry. He won't go to pay homage to the Xue family at this time. He will go to his adoptive father." Gu Xun explained.
Just as Xie Rongying was about to say something, she heard a noise in the outer courtyard.
"What do you mean, old woman? Does the young marquis need to get your permission before he can come to the young lady's courtyard?"
Xie Rongying and Gu Xun looked at each other, and Gu Xun subconsciously retreated to the left wing.
At this time, Yunniang and Dongxue also walked into the courtyard.
When Xie Rongying walked out of the wing room, she saw Qin Junyi and his men walking into the courtyard.
Seeing Xie Rongying's calm expression, Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Young Madam, the young marquis is here."
"Go down." Xie Rongying said in a gentle tone.
Mrs. Li retreated.
Qin Junyi had long been dissatisfied with Xie Rongying's strict guarding of the East Courtyard. He walked towards Xie Rongying and looked her up and down. He was amazed by Xie Rongying at Yunwu Manor that day, but now that Xie Rongying had returned to the mansion, he felt disgusted with her.
The wariness towards him and the dominance like his mother made him start to reject this woman with his whole body.
"Do you really think this Dongyuan is yours?" Qin Junyi said coldly: "Do I need to inform you before I come here?"
Xie Rongying stood at the door. As Qin Junyi approached, she did not move. She said with a forced smile, "Young Marquis, you came in whenever you wanted to?"
Qin Junyi saw that Xie Rongying had no intention of letting him in, so she frowned and asked, "Is this how you act as a wife? You won't even let your husband in when he comes?"
Xie Rongying made a 'please' gesture and said, "Young Marquis, please go to the main room."
After saying that, she walked towards the main house first. Qin Junyi glanced at the wing room, and a surge of anger burned in his heart. He had only slept in the main house for one night, but this woman seemed to have no intention of returning to the main house to sleep.
However, thinking that he had come to find Xie Rongying for something, Qin Junyi suppressed his anger and walked towards the main house.
When Qin Junyi sat down, Cuizhi came forward with the teacup, put it down and stepped back.
Xie Rongying did not sit down with Qin Junyi at the main seat, but chose the lower seat at the other end and asked directly, "Young Marquis, is there something you want to talk to me about?"
Qin Junyi looked at Xie Rongying's deliberate distance and chuckled, "Yao'er has been feeling better recently, and she just heard the news that the entire family of the Duke of Ying was massacred. She was frightened and said she wanted to go to the manor to recuperate for a while. I heard that you own a manor with hot springs, so I thought of taking Yao'er to your manor to stay for a while. You can make the arrangements."
