Chapter 92 People Are Not Human
Qin Junchen looked at Xie Rongying, who showed no emotion, and took the rice paper from Xie Rongying's hand and folded it again.
He said, "It turns out it wasn't my sister-in-law's stuff. I thought it was my sister-in-law who left it in Wanmiao Village."
Xie Rongying raised her eyebrows and asked with a faint smile, "I wonder why my uncle thinks this thing is mine?"
"I wanted to come back with my sister-in-law in Wanmiao Village last night, but she was dealing with something and left Wanmiao Village very quickly. I chased her with my bag and found that her carriage had just left Wanmiao Village and stopped again. Then another man got on her carriage, and got off again not long after, and dropped this." Qin Junchen was looking at Xie Rongying's expression every time he spoke.
It was a pity that Qin Junchen did not see the expression he expected on Xie Rongying's face. Instead, he saw a hint of amusement on Xie Rongying's face.
"My brother-in-law must have seen it wrong. After leaving Wanmiao Village, the carriage went all the way back to Bianjing." Xie Rongying's tone was filled with sternness again. "As for what you said about a man getting on my carriage, it's nonsense. If this fell into the ears of others, what kind of situation does my brother-in-law intend to put me in?"
Qin Junchen's eyebrows twitched slightly when he heard Xie Rongying bring the topic to another level.
"I went to Wanmiao Village to punish the slaves who harmed my mother-in-law, but my brother-in-law said it was me who had an affair with a man outside my family, right?"
Xie Rongying's brows furrowed, and she looked quite aggressive. "I wonder what kind of position your brother will be in by your brother-in-law chasing after you and saying these things?"
"My mother told me in a letter before that my sister-in-law is eloquent. Today I finally got to see it for myself." Qin Junchen folded the rice paper nonchalantly and put it away, with a faint smile on his face.
Then, inexplicably, he said, "I just wonder if my sister-in-law knows the saying that there is a god above your head."
Xie Rongying stared at Qin Junchen with a deeper gaze, and her reply was tinged with sarcasm: "There must be a god above us, but even the gods know that good and evil will be rewarded, right, little brother-in-law?"
"Of course, good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished." Qin Junchen echoed, "Some people think that what they do is perfect, but they don't know that retribution is already here."
Xie Rongying's eyebrows moved slightly, and she smiled faintly: "Brother-in-law, is there anything else?"
Qin Junchen narrowed his eyes.
"Brother-in-law, if you have nothing else to say, I will go back to the yard first." Xie Rongying nodded and turned to leave.
Qin Junchen stared at Xie Rongying's back. He had gotten the information from Shangguan Jing and wanted to trick her, but he didn't expect Xie Rongying to be more calm than he imagined.
Some even said that what he said was all nonsense.
"Sister-in-law." Qin Junchen shouted.
Xie Rongying turned sideways and looked at Qin Junchen, her eyes gleaming with a hint of darkness: "Anything else?"
"Sister-in-law, it's not good to walk too much at night. Like what happened last night, you should have a good rest and wait for your return today." Qin Junchen's eyes showed a hint of smile: "After all, if you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts."
"Thank you for the reminder, uncle." Xie Rongying raised the corners of her lips slightly. "I'm not afraid of ghosts, but I'm afraid of people. After all, ghosts are real ghosts, but people are not necessarily real people."
Qin Junchen's expression changed slightly when he heard these words.
Xie Rongying chuckled, nodded at Qin Junchen, then turned and left.
Qin Junchen stared at the figure's back, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

There was also a hint of gloom in the courtyard of the East Garden. Yunniang and Cuizhi saw Xie Rongying walk directly into the side room and followed her in.
"Miss, has everything been resolved in Wanmiao Village?" Cuizhi asked cautiously.
Xie Rongying walked behind the desk: "It's almost done."
Xie Ting had long wanted to deal with Wu Dawei of Wanmiao Village, but Wu Dawei was very popular in Wanmiao Village. If he dealt with him rashly, he would definitely suffer backlash.
Now that the three brothers of the Wu family have committed a crime, Xie Ting will strike while the iron is hot and restore stability to Wanmiao Village.
"That's good, that's good." Cuizhi had never experienced anything that resulted in death.
This time Jiang died in Wanmiao Village, and she felt uneasy. She also thought that Jiang wanted to take advantage of her daughter everywhere and even wanted to kill her, so the fear in her heart faded a lot.
"Miss, the young marquis and the second young master both blame you for Jiang's death. You'll have to be careful from now on." Dongxue followed Xie Rongying all the way to the mourning hall, listening to Qin Junyi's words and Qin Junchen's implications.
"What?" Cuizhi was shocked: "The young marquis and the second young master..."
"Yes, Qin Junchen is indeed a trouble." After Xie Rongying sat down, her eyes showed some fatigue. Although she had a light sleep in the carriage, she was always thinking about things.
Compared to the Yongyi Marquis Mansion, she is now more worried about the Xie family.
She didn't want to involve the Xie family in the royal struggle, but who would have thought that the woman Qin Junyi had kept outside would have such an identity.
Since the Shangguan family already knows that the Xie family is secretly investigating them, they will definitely inform the official family about this.
If the Guan family attacks the Xie family in order to consolidate the Shangguan family and his position, then she will be the sinner of the Xie family.
So there is gain and loss.
She started over again. If she wanted to overthrow the Yongyi Marquis Mansion, there would definitely be a price to pay.
When he suspected Shangguan Yao's father Shangguan Yan, he invisibly pushed the Xie family to the edge of the emperor's bottom line.
The Xie family was already being targeted because of their wealth. She didn't believe that anyone in the palace had never been wary of the Xie family's wealth. It was just that the Xie family was too law-abiding and the position the emperor sat on was already controversial.
The emperor will not touch loyal ministers like the Xie family for the time being.
But it would be a different story if the emperor's hidden secrets were exposed.
"Miss, is the pattern that the second young master just took the same as the one that Gu Xun had in his hand last night?" Dongxue asked again.
Xie Rongying came back to her senses and said, "No, he was trying to trick me."
I just wanted to see how she would react when she was exposed for what happened last night.
"The pattern Qin Junchen brought out was incredibly perfect." Xie Rongying chuckled, thinking of how the Yongyi Marquisate had prospered under Qin Junchen's leadership in her previous life. She added, "But he even knew everything Gu Xun said after he entered the carriage. He's truly remarkable."
"When I left just now, I always felt that the eyes of the Second Young Master Qin were too creepy." Dongxue said again.
Xie Rongying remained silent. Qin Junchen was indeed in danger, and with Shangguan Yao's brother also in Bian Jing, things were becoming increasingly difficult.
"Miss," Dongxue reminded in a low voice, "How about telling me what happened?"
Xie Rongying sighed slightly and said, "Of course I will tell you about it, but there are some things that my father can't interfere with, such as the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion. I'm a married daughter, the daughter-in-law of the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion, and I don't want to tell my father about the bad things going on in the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion."
What’s the point of knowing it? It will only add to your troubles.
Her father had done enough for her in her previous life, but it was all for the benefit of the Marquis of Yongyi.
"With the death of Jiang, the young marquis might have an even greater grudge against you, young lady." Dongxue said this with a somewhat complicated tone. Of course, she wanted Xie Rongying to be able to live in harmony, but Qin Junyi was obviously not a good man.
Xie Rongying said, "It doesn't matter if I have this little bit of resentment."
What she was worried about was Qin Junchen, a very shrewd man, and she wanted to deal with him in a tricky way.
This person must be dealt with as soon as possible!
