Chapter 110 In a Moment
Shangguan Jing stared at Qin Junchen with bloodshot eyes, and the strength in his hands was amazing.
Shangguan Yao was so frightened by the sudden situation that she stood up and stepped back repeatedly.
Xue Qing stepped forward and pulled Shangguan Jing's arm: "Master, what are you doing? Let go."
"Brother!" Shangguan Yao endured the discomfort in her throat and stepped forward to forcefully pry Shangguan Jing's hands apart: "What are you doing? Let go!"
"Yao'er, let go!" Shangguan Jing pushed Shangguan Jing away: "Qin Junchen, that villain!"
"How am I, how am I a villain?" Qin Junchen held Shangguan Jing's hand that was pinching his throat with trembling hands.
Shangguan Jing stared sinisterly at Qin Junchen, who was still trying to argue. "You're the only one who knows what I did to Xie Lin. Did you leak it?"
"Brother, what are you talking about!" Shangguan Yao stepped forward and pulled Shangguan Jing's arm hard: "There is nothing wrong at all, you are looking for..."
"Let go of my master!" Bi Huan held the dagger tightly in her hand and pointed it at Shangguan Jing's temples. The sharp tip almost touched Shangguan Jing's skin. Her face was full of fear and her voice was trembling: "Let go of my master, otherwise, I will kill you."
The room became quiet, and Shangguan Jing slowly let go of Qin Junchen.
Qin Junchen suddenly began to breathe deeply, his face flushed as he took two steps back.
Seeing this, Bi Huan pointed the dagger at Shangguan Jing and retreated towards Qin Junchen.
"Young Master, are you okay?" Bi Huan asked, looking at Shangguan Jing warily. She protected Qin Junchen behind her and asked coldly, "You are such a funny person. Did you invite the young master here just to kill him?"
Shangguan Yao immediately stood in front of Shangguan Jing and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? This is just a misunderstanding. It will be fine once the misunderstanding is resolved."
"Misunderstanding?" Bi Huan said coldly, "What misunderstanding? Could it be that your brother, young lady, came in and indiscriminately wanted to kill the Second Young Master?"
Shangguan Jing narrowed his eyes and stared at Bi Huan, his anger growing even stronger.
Qin Junchen, having recovered, pushed Bi Huan away and stared at Shangguan Jing expressionlessly, "What did Brother Shangguan just say? Who leaked the news that you were investigating Xie Lin?"
"Who else could it be besides you?" Shangguan Jing approached Qin Junchen and gritted his teeth, "Have I told a third person?"
He did not even tell his father who was far away in Longxi about his investigation in Bian Jing. Every letter he wrote back to Longxi contained the news his father wanted to hear.
It is now obvious that the government will not care about the Shangguan family's affairs. If the people of Dayin knew that the Shangguan family who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country were still alive, the story that the entire Shangguan family was beheaded in the fourth year of Chengde would probably become true.
After all, the current emperor is no longer the emperor who needed the Shangguan family to suppress the former emperor's old ministers in the fourth year of Chengde.
"Did you know that Xie Lin has revealed my identity to the authorities?" Shangguan Jing grabbed Qin Junchen's collar with one hand and asked in a questioning tone: "Do you know that if my identity were to be known, the entire Shangguan family would be destroyed without a burial place?"
Qin Junchen's expression grew even colder: "It's not me."
"Xie Lin just arrived in Bianjing, and he already knows exactly where I am?" Shangguan Jing's face was expressionless, his inner irritation growing stronger and stronger. "I've been hiding in Bianjing for so long without being discovered, and Xie Lin was discovered as soon as he arrived in Bianjing?"
"Who else knows where I am and what I have done except you?!" Shangguan Jing growled word by word.
Shangguan Yao stepped forward and said, "Brother, is there some misunderstanding here? How did Xie Lin know you were in Bianjing? Didn't you say that in Longxi you discovered that Xie Lin was investigating our Shangguan family, and he left Longxi?"
Shangguan Jing's gaze flashed across Shangguan Yao's face, and the anger in his chest erupted directly. He grabbed Qin Junchen's collar and forced him forward.
"And your brother, Qin Junyi? My father asked him to follow your father to the border and take Yao'er back to Longxi. What was he doing? He was reluctant to leave the splendor and wealth of Bianjing, so why did he mess with my sister?"
Shangguan Jing forced Qin Junchen back to the wall and stared at the expressionless Qin Junchen fiercely.
The movement in the room had attracted the attention of passers-by, but the people in the private rooms of Fanlou were either rich or noble, so those who passed by and looked inside tactfully left.
"Brother Shangguan, calm down first." Qin Junchen suppressed his anger and stared at the man in front of him with cold eyes: "If you feel that my sister-in-law has been wronged in the Qin family, you can take her and my brother back to Longxi. You said that Xie Lin told the authorities about your identity. What you should do now is pack up and leave Bianjing."
"Instead of causing trouble for me."
Unexpectedly, Shangguan Jing not only did not calm down after hearing Qin Junchen's words, but his anger grew even more intense.
The hand that was holding Qin Junchen's collar swung quickly, and his arm directly pressed against Qin Junchen's throat: "Are you saying that the daughter of my Shangguan family should be a mistress in your Qin family? You even think that my coming here is unnecessary? If it is unnecessary, what is the point of asking me to come here?"
"I asked you to come here?" Qin Junchen seemed to have grasped something and his voice became much louder.
Just when Shangguan Jing was about to taunt him, Bi Huan rushed up again with a dagger in hand.
She pointed the dagger at Shangguan Jing and shouted, "Let him go!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Bi Huan stabbed towards Shangguan Jing.
Shangguan Jing quickly let go of Qin Junchen, grabbed Bi Huan's wrist, and quickly snatched the dagger from Bi Huan's hand.
Shangguan Yao was already frightened by the scene. She turned to Xue Qing and said, "Go find the young marquis!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
The moment Shangguan Jing snatched the dagger from her, Bi Huan bit the wrist of Shangguan Jing's hand that had snatched the dagger, and kept pulling it back at that moment.
The sudden pain made Shangguan Jing's scalp numb and his mind became confused.
"Bitch!" Shangguan Yao saw this and walked forward, grabbing Bi Huan by the back of her neck and pulling her collar back, "Let me go!"
Before Qin Junchen could react, Bi Huan blocked his way. He clearly felt that something was wrong with Shangguan Jing today, and also because of what Shangguan Jing had just said.
No, nothing is right.
Even Bi Huan, who is fighting for him right now, is not right.
He didn't believe that a woman who was only thinking about climbing up the social ladder for fame and fortune was truly treating him well.
Would give his life for him.
"Brother Shangguan, calm down first." Qin Junchen said, looking at the red bloodshot in Shangguan Jing's eyes.
However, Shangguan Jing was completely aroused by the scene and pain in front of him, and he could not hear Qin Junchen's words at all. Shangguan Jing's eyes darkened, and he raised the dagger and stabbed towards Bi Huan.
In a flash, Bi Huan seemed to sense what Shangguan Jing was going to do. The moment she let go, she squatted down, moved back quickly, and then stood up and pushed towards Shangguan Jing's arm.
At this moment, when Qin Junchen was about to retreat to the side, he felt a sharp pain in his back.
Shangguan Yao's hand was suspended in the air. It was the hand that had just been holding Bi Huan's hand, but it broke free when Bi Huan squatted down. She was stunned as she watched the dagger pierce Qin Junchen's back.
Everything happened so fast, as if in just a moment.
The handle of the dagger was still in Shangguan Jing's hand, and all the parts except the handle had pierced into Qin Junchen's flesh.
"Someone come!" Bi Huan shouted loudly at this time.
