Chapter 105 Trusting Men
When Xie Rongying walked out of the main hall, she saw Old Madam Xie in the courtyard bending over with scissors to trim potted plants, while Mother Zhuang was waiting beside her.
"Grandma, it's windy at night, so let them handle these things." Xie Rongying walked over, took the scissors from Old Madam Xie's hand, and handed them to Madam Zhuang. "Go in and get some rest, or you'll have a headache later."
Madam Xie sighed and held Xie Rongying's hand: "Have you finished talking to Ting'er?"
"That's all." Xie Rongying supported Old Madam Xie and walked towards the main hall. "Grandma, I'll be leaving now. I'll come back to see you in two days."
"Rong'er." Old Madam Xie's eyes were filled with worry. "If you can't live with Qin Junyi anymore, just come back. Don't worry about affecting your sisters at home. It's okay. If the Qin family doesn't want to divorce, at most our Xie family can give them some money and they'll eventually get a divorce."
Xie Rongying felt bitter when she heard these words. It turned out that her grandmother did not take the etiquette and rules that she believed in seriously, nor did she think that a woman's divorce would bring disgrace to the Xie family.
"The Yongyi Marquis's family is high and mighty, and they need to maintain their dignity. The Yongyi Marquis and your father were colleagues, and they met each other frequently in the court. They wouldn't harbor any grudges against the Xie family. Rong'er, I'm old, and I just want you to have a fulfilling life, a husband who loves you and have children." Old Madam Xie sighed heavily as she spoke, "Not like now. If a couple isn't on the same page, they should break up sooner rather than later."
"I understand, grandma." Xie Rongying said with a faint smile: "My granddaughter will definitely be happy, don't worry."
At this time, Xie Ting came out and took Madam Xie's hand from Xie Rongying. He said with a smile, "Grandma, you should be worried about me. You should hurry up and find a grandson's wife. She will take care of the eldest sister's affairs. Don't worry about her."
"You little rascal, I told you a few days ago that I would find one for you, and you said I was worrying about nothing." Old Lady Xie walked into the main hall with the support of Xie Ting.
Xie Rongying looked at the backs of the grandfather and grandson, laughed, turned around and walked towards the wing room.
Dongxue watched Xie Rongying walk in and said, "Miss, do you want to go back?"
Xie Rongying hummed lightly and her eyes fell on Yunniang.
Yunniang, who was kneeling on the ground, saw Xie Rongying's eyes and immediately lowered her eyes. Her body was still trembling slightly at this moment.
Xie Rongying walked up to Bi Huan and said with a smile, "Now can you tell me what benefits Qin Junchen has given you?"
Bi Huan didn't dare to look directly into Xie Rongying's eyes, and still kept her head down without saying a word.
Xie Rongying lifted Bi Huan's chin and stared down at her condescendingly: "Then let me guess?"
Bi Huan's pupils trembled.
"The Marquis' Mansion is struggling financially right now. Qin Junchen certainly can't afford to pay you much to work for him. There's only one reason why you're so willing to work for him."
Xie Rongying chuckled, "Did he promise you that he would bring you to his side after the matter was settled? After all, you're not valued by Second Aunt, and your status is neither high nor low. But if you could get close to the young master of the Marquis's Mansion, you'd be the master."
Bi Huan was sweating profusely on her forehead when she heard what Xie Rongying said.
Xie Rongying tutted her words twice. "You always fantasize about relying on men to soar to the top and become a phoenix, but you don't know that men are just a knife that can take half of your life at any time. Do you really think that someone of Qin Junchen's status would be interested in a woman like you?"
Bi Huan listened to Xie Rongying's contemptuous words, and her eyes reddened: "Why don't you like it?"
"Then why didn't you like it before?" Xie Rongying withdrew her hand and chuckled, "What do you have? Good looks, background, or money? You have nothing. Besides being able to be used against me, what value do you have? Even if he really made you his woman, the children born would all be bastards who would be looked down upon by others."
"Maybe you can't even get into the same room, but you're just a slave girl, and you want to climb into the master's bed?"
"Young Madam!" Bi Huan was completely irritated by Xie Rongying's words. She glared at Xie Rongying with red eyes: "This servant knows that my status is lowly, but, but how can you say that."
Xie Rongying sneered: "You can't stand telling the truth. What will you do if you really follow Qin Junchen in the future and his wife sells you out or beats you to death?"
"The Second Young Master promised that this servant of mine will not suffer in the future." Bi Huan explained.
Xie Rongying sneered: "If that's the case, are you determined to work for him?"
Bi Huan pursed her lips and looked up at Xie Rongying.
How could she not know that what Xie Rongying said was the truth?
But who has ever thought about the days when people can come and go at will?
What's more, what Qin Junchen asked her to do was just to deal with Yunniang, nothing else.
When she thought of the affectionate words Qin Junchen said to her, she still felt a little unwilling. She also wanted to be able to call others to her and send them away at will. She also wanted to be superior.
But she didn't dare to gamble.
If she ends up as miserable as Xie Rongying said, then what are the points of all her efforts in the Qin family over the years?
She finally reached Zheng's yard and thought she could become a respectable maidservant by Zheng's side.
Who would have thought that he would only be able to reach his current position, unable to make any further progress, and even be punished by Zheng.
"If you sincerely follow me and work for me, I will go to Zheng and ask for you. After I have done what I want to do, I will give you money, good land, and a farm. I will free you from slavery and let you live a good life. You will no longer have to struggle to climb the social ladder."
"how?"
Bi Huan looked at Xie Rongying's face, which had lost its coldness, and was stunned for a moment.
"It's getting late. Give you some time to think about it. If you still insist when we return to the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion, I have plenty of ways to deal with you." Xie Rongying suddenly said coldly.
Bi Huan came back to her senses, and the chill on her back ran back. She asked, "Then I can trust you?"
"You don't have to believe it, it's your business." Xie Rongying said, looking at Dong Xue and ordered, "Untie her."
After about a cup of tea, Xie Rongying left the Xie Mansion in a carriage.
Three quarters of an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of the Marquis Yongyi's mansion.
Yunniang and Dongxue got off the carriage first.
When Xie Rongying just got off the carriage, another carriage also stopped. Qin Junchen got out of the carriage and saw Xie Rongying.
He called out, "Sister-in-law."
Xie Rongying glanced sideways at the young man walking towards her, her brows slightly furrowed, but a faint smile appeared on her face.
"Chen Ge'er just came back too." Xie Rongying spoke first.
Qin Junchen glanced at Yunniang and asked, "Where did you go, sister-in-law?"
"I went back to the Xie family." Xie Rongying said truthfully: "What's the matter, is there something wrong with Brother Chen?"
