Chapter 94 Any Intersection
The slight curve at the corner of Xie Rongying's lips disappeared instantly, and she stared sideways at Dongxue.
"Girl, things are becoming more and more difficult. You need to plan carefully for yourself." Dongxue reminded softly.
Now the Yongyi Marquis Mansion and the Xie family still have a marriage relationship on the surface, but with the death of Jiang, Qin Junyi completely hated the Xie family and the relationship was completely severed.
"Find an opportunity to divorce the young marquis and stop getting involved in this mess." Dongxue said again. Seeing Xie Rongying's increasingly serious expression, she continued, "The Crown Prince has begun openly targeting the Xie family. Because of this relationship, the young marquis will sooner or later take action against you, young lady. Divorce now while the young marquis is still a little bit afraid. At least the rest of you will be safe. Staying in this mansion is too scary."
Dongxue did not forget the look that the Second Young Master Qin gave Xie Rongying that day.
What's more, the Yongyi Marquis Mansion is a clan under the command of the Crown Prince, and everything the Xie family is doing now is contrary to the Yongyi Marquis Mansion.
The Xie family was destined to stand in a hostile position towards the Yongyi Marquis Mansion.
If Xie Rongying doesn't make good plans for herself, no one knows what will happen in the end.
Xie Rongying met Dongxue's worried gaze, pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "I know, but now is not a good time to leave the Yongyi Marquis Mansion."
As he spoke, Xie Rongying walked towards the wing room.
Dongxue followed beside him and said, "I know that now is not the time to leave the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion, but we should consider getting out of it."
After Xie Rongying entered the wing room, she told Cuizhi and Yunniang, "Get ready and go back."
About a cup of tea later, Xie Rongying, who was about to leave the mansion, met Shangguan Yao coming from the direction of the main kitchen on the curved corridor in the front yard of the mansion.
Since Jiang's burial, Xie Rongying and Shangguan Yao have not met each other, even though they lived under the same roof.
However, due to Jiang's death and the fact that her family was secretly being pursued by the Xie family, Shangguan Yao was somewhat wary of Xie Rongying.
Perhaps it was because he paid a heavy price for his first attack on Xie Rongying.
Or maybe Xie Rongying was still able to avoid the schemes of Madam Xue and the Crown Prince at Yunwu Manor.
Shangguan Yao knew that Xie Rongying was not as simple as she thought.
So she tried to avoid it if she could, but there was no way to avoid it now.
"Sister." Shangguan Yao bowed when she saw Xie Rongying approaching.
Xie Rongying laughed, her eyes fixed on Shangguan Yao's slightly lowered face, and said, "Sister, did you go to the main kitchen?"
Shangguan Yao raised her eyes and met Xie Rongying's gaze, saying, "Yes, Junyi told me to pay more attention to the affairs of the mansion, so I went to tell the kitchen staff that I should be frugal in the future."
"So that's how it is." Xie Rongying smiled. Shangguan Yao was really living a good life with Qin Junyi. Now, all matters concerning the Marquis' Mansion's money basically fell on Shangguan Yao's shoulders.
Shangguan Yao laughed and said, "Sister, are you going to leave the house?"
"My second aunt just told me something. I wanted to solve it for her quickly, so I went out of the house." Xie Rongying said it in a vague yet clear way. She was leaving the house because of Zheng, but she could not tell her what the matter was.
Shangguan Yao nodded: "Then I won't bother you, sister."
Xie Rongying nodded in response.
Shangguan Yao slowed down her pace as she passed Xie Rongying. Thinking about how the Jiang family's death still left the hole in the Marquisate unsolved, she suddenly asked, "Sister, do you still mean to leave Wanmiao Village to mother?"
Xie Rongying glanced sideways to meet Shangguan Yao's gaze: "What do you want to say?"
"Since you are the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, you naturally have to consider the Mansion. Junyi handed me all of mother's previous account books. I took a rough look at it. I think the Mansion still needs your help to fill the gap." Shangguan Yao said this with a frown.
Xie Rongying smiled faintly: "Forget it, because of the matter with my mother-in-law, I really can't help with the hole in this mansion. If my sister has the ability, please help if you can."
After saying that, Xie Rongying turned around and left.
Shangguan Yao's expression changed slightly, and her eyes deepened as she stared at Xie Rongying's back.
"Madam, what does Xie Shi mean?" Xue Qing said with a hint of confusion: "Does she really not care about the future of the Marquis' Mansion?"
After all, it is about her own interests. Xie Rongying is Qin Junyi's legal wife after all. If she is determined to stand idly by and watch the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion.
That only means that Xie Rongying is different from Shangguan Yao. Even though she married into the Marquis's Mansion, she never thought of herself as a member of the Marquis's Mansion.
"The future of the Marquisate is something that Junyi and his father have considered. As for the problems in the Marquisate, I think Junyi also has his own considerations." Shangguan Yao turned around and stared at Xue Qing sideways: "From now on, avoid Xie Rongying if you can in the mansion. Don't have any direct conflicts with her people."
Shangguan Yao finally understood that if she wanted to deal with Xie Rongying, she would never be able to have any fight with Xie Rongying without a complete plan.
Thinking about how my brother didn’t see the emperor after coming to Bian Jing.
Shangguan Yao's expression turned cold again.
She said, “Do you remember?”
"I've got it in mind, ma'am." Xue Qing said this with a hint of excitement in her mind.

After getting on the carriage, Xie Rongying listened to Yunniang's report on the events in the Marquis' Mansion.
"Ever since Jiang's funeral, the young marquis had the steward deliver all the account books of the mansion's treasury to Shangguan. The monthly wages of the maids in the mansion have been reduced over the past two days, but since they are all from the marquis' family, they don't have many complaints."
Xie Rongying thought of the account books that Jiang had shown her before, and realized that the normal operation of the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion was due to Jiang's continuous subsidy with her dowry.
Now that Jiang is gone, her dowry and the shops under her name are all publicly recorded in the accounts.
Shangguan Yao naturally would not use Jiang's things to subsidize the Marquis' Mansion, at least not to subsidize the maids' monthly wages.
"People die for money and birds die for food. Since the monthly wages of the people in the mansion have been reduced, you should arrange some money to subsidize the useful people in private." Xie Rongying emphasized the three words "useful people".
It is a good time to win people's hearts.
"I know what to do." Yunniang said.
Xie Rongying lifted the curtain and watched the carriage slowly pour into the busy street, Zheng's words echoing in her mind.
Why would the legitimate daughter of the second branch of the Qin family fall for Xie Ting?
Or is there some other hidden story behind this?
In their previous lives, Qin Si and Xie Ting had no connection at all.
About half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of the gate of Xie Mansion.
When Xie Rongying got off the carriage and walked towards the gate of Xie Mansion, she saw a young man in purple clothes walking towards the mansion.
Xie Ting didn't expect that Xie Rongying would come back at this time.
"Elder sister?" Xie Ting raised his eyebrows: "You are back..."
