Chapter 9: Extreme Hypocrisy
Facing Qin Junyi's anger and embarrassment, Xie Rongying slowly said "hmm", her eyes gradually became cold, and she raised her eyes slightly to look at him.
She pulled her lips: "Why are you so loud?"
At this moment, Qin Junyi felt a strange disgust towards Xie Rongying. This woman was not only good at acting and pretending, but she could also pull herself away and turn the tables on him when she was being extremely hypocritical.
"You say I'm hypocritical, but aren't you, Qin Junyi, hypocritical too?" Xie Rongying's tone was filled with sarcasm. "You have someone in your heart, but you married me just for the Qin family's future. It's as if you've suffered a great injustice after marrying me. It's clearly you who are cowardly and can't bear the responsibility for the family's rise and fall, but you blame me for preventing you from marrying your loved one."
The more Xie Rongying spoke, the more hostility in her eyes grew. "If the person you like had a family background like mine, your mother wouldn't have let you marry someone else. You can't resist your mother, and you feel guilty about the person you like, so you blame all your grievances and resentment on me."
Finally, she smiled: "If you had been brave enough to take on some of the responsibilities you should take for the prosperity and decline of your Qin family, why would your mother plot against me? If you had been responsible for the person you love, why would she have suffered so much for you?"
"As a son, you have done nothing and left your mother to worry about the family's prosperity and decline. You are unfilial. As a husband, you abandoned the woman who loved you for the sake of the family's prosperity and decline. You are unfaithful and unrighteous."
"A disloyal, unrighteous, and hypocritical person like you are worthy of calling me a hypocrite in front of me!?"
Qin Junyi's face was half bright and half dark against the light, but one could feel his hideousness. He thought he had hidden the person in his heart very well, but he didn't expect Xie Rongying to say it out loud. He shouted angrily: "You are investigating me behind my back?!"
Bang! Xie Rongying threw the teacup in her hand to the ground, making a crisp sound.
Qin Junyi's expression became even more ferocious when he saw this.
Yunniang and Cuizhi, who were outside the room, heard the sound of breaking inside the room. They were startled and looked at each other silently. Yunniang shook her head at Cuizhi, indicating that she should not go in.
Xie Rongying stood up in the side room. Because of the height difference, she had to slightly raise her head to look Qin Jun in the eye.
She gave a sly smile. "Not only did I investigate you, I also thoroughly investigated your Qin family. Do you think the deficits in the account books that I told your father about were just deficits in the account books? Do you think your father doesn't know what the deficits of the Qin family are?"
"You!" Qin Junyi really didn't expect Xie Rongying to be like this.
Qin Junyi, the woman who had previously tried to please him and wanted to be in harmony with him on the surface, just thought that this was a manifestation of Xie Rongying's conservatism and her putting her husband first.
I didn't expect that such an extremely hypocritical person would be such an arrogant and treacherous person.
"Since you have a request for me, you and your son should put away your condescending attitude." Xie Rongying smiled slightly, with a look of provocation on her face: "I have carefully calculated the deficit of your Qin family, and it is not even half of the silver of my dowry."
"You..." Qin Junyi heard the contempt in Xie Rongying's tone, and naturally understood what Xie Rongying was mocking.
It's ironic that the Qin family has fallen into such a state, but still looks down on merchants.
However, the Xie family three generations ago were no longer money-grubbing merchants looked down upon by the world, but a clan that could be compared with imperial merchants.
But in Qin Junyi's eyes, the Xie family was no different from the merchants in this world who only cared about money. He gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think having those valuable things is so great? Don't you know that what Dayin despises most are merchants who only care about valuable things?!"
Xie Rongying sneered twice, then sat down again, staring at Qin Junyi with raised eyes: "Your Yongyi Marquis Mansion is noble, but without money, you can't move an inch."
"Okay, okay, okay." Qin Junyi said yes three times in a row and then began to question: "Since you already knew about what happened in the mansion, why didn't you discuss it with Mother and tell Father directly? Do you know how vicious that Zhou is? Today, the power of the mansion is in her hands, and I'm afraid the title will fall into the hands of her son in the future. What good will this do you?"
"What harm will it do to me?" Xie Rongying asked back, with an attitude of indifference.
"Since you married into the Qin family, married to me, you should consider the Qin family and me. It will not do you any good to scheme against your husband and mother-in-law, and it will ruin the reputation of other girls in your Xie family. If it gets out, people will think that the girls of your Xie family are arrogant and domineering. Who would marry a daughter-in-law who has ulterior motives towards their own clan?" Qin Junyi knew that Xie Rongying cared about the Xie family, so he could only use these words to restrain her.
He added, "My mother didn't do anything to you. When you married me, she gave you the reins of the household. She trusted you and valued you. The problems between us have nothing to do with my mother. Xie Rongying, you're wrong this time."
Xie Rongying seemed to have heard something funny. She stared at Qin Junyi with a faint smile: "So what? Your mother trusts me and values me, so I have to quietly fill the gap for your Qin family."
"Don't forget, you are also a member of the Qin family!" Qin Junyi suddenly realized that this was the real Xie Rongying. He sneered, slowly approached Xie Rongying, and stared down at her condescendingly: "I won't blame you for what happened today. Move back to the main house. I will stay in the East Garden tonight."
Upon hearing this, Xie Rongying looked at Qin Junyi coldly.
"I'll go talk to mother. I hope you and mother are of the same mind. It will not be good for you if the Qin Mansion falls into the hands of others." After Qin Junyi finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the room.
Yunniang and Cuizhi walked in shortly after. They looked at the broken pieces of teacup on the ground and immediately stepped forward to ask, "Miss, are you okay?"
Yunniang ordered the maid to come in and clean up the debris on the ground.
Xie Rongying felt a surge of anger in her chest. Qin Junyi's attitude seemed to tell her that her attitude today was telling them that both mother and son were dissatisfied. As long as he, Qin Junyi, came to comfort her, everything would be fine.
What kind of attitude made Qin Junyi think that she was someone who could be summoned and dismissed at will?
Or did Qin Junyi think that she would really endure it for the sake of those unfounded reputations and rules?
She sighed softly and said, "It's okay."
"Then, do we have to move back to the main house?" Cuizhi asked cautiously. The young marquis's attitude was much better than before. She would be happy if the young marquis and her daughter could live in harmony.
Xie Rongying glanced at Cuizhi coldly.
The smile on Cuizhi's face immediately disappeared, and she said respectfully, "I understand."
My master is determined not to get along well with the young marquis.
At this time, the maid who had been collecting the debris left, leaving the three of them, the master and the servant, behind. Yunniang finally spoke, "Miss, does the young marquis really have someone he likes?"
If this man has someone in his heart, the one who is not in his heart will suffer the most.
Xie Rongying chuckled: "Of course there is."
If she had known in her previous life that Qin Junyi had someone in his heart, why would she have married him?
What made her curious was who could have allowed Qin Junyi to hide so well that he was willing to give up his title in his previous life to spend the rest of his life with that woman.
