Chapter 200 Relationship Eased
"What do you mean?" Shi Yang climbed up from the ground and stared at Xie Rongying fiercely. "What do you mean by Shi Mingyan's death date? Xie Rongying, what exactly are you going to do? What on earth are you trying to do by locking us up in a dark place?!"
Xie Rongying glanced at Shi Mingyu who was curled up in the corner, and then moved her gaze to Shi Yang's face.
She smiled faintly, "Shi Mingyan poisoned Qin Beiyuan of the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion. According to Dayin's law, killing someone means paying with one's life. Three days ago, the emperor issued an order to publicly behead him. I believe his head has already been dropped at the vegetable market by now."
With every word Xie Rongying spoke, the ferocity on Shi Yang's face grew more intense.
He stretched out his hand from the gap in the cell and tried to grab Xie Rongying, but his hand could only reach Xie Rongying.
Even if the difference is just a hair's breadth, no matter how hard he stretches forward, he won't be able to catch the person who is so close to him.
"Xie Rongying!" How could Shi Yang not understand that it was Xie Rongying's revenge? Thinking of his most proud eldest son being killed like this, he stared at Xie Rongying intently, wanting to tear the person in front of him to pieces!
"Xie Rongying! Your father is safe and sound! Your father is safe and sound!" Shi Yang was furious. He stared at Xie Rongying, who he could not reach no matter what. His eyes were red as he roared, "But you have ruined my entire family! You have such a vicious heart!"
Shi Yang knew that he had brought this upon himself because he was not as skilled as others.
But he didn't expect that Xie Rongying didn't even intend to let his eldest son go.
"Uncle Shi, what are you talking about?" Xie Rongying's tone was still light and airy: "It's as if you wanted to let my family go when you were plotting against me."
Shi Yang clutched the sides of the cell door tightly with both hands: "Xie Rongying! I just want to make more money from your Xie family. I never wanted to harm your family members! My friendship with your father over the years is not fake!"
"Then should I also thank Uncle Shi for only wanting to defraud the Xie family of their money, and not the people in the Xie family?" Xie Rongying stared at Shi Yang, whose face was full of ferociousness, and after she finished speaking, she curled the corners of her lips slightly, with a hint of disdain in her eyes.
"Xie Rongying, you are so cruel and ruthless, you will definitely make countless enemies. In this Bianjing City, cruel means cannot keep you in power for long. Do you think that if you can scheme against me and my son, you can scheme against the people who are really targeting your Xie family?" Shi Yang seemed to be making his last struggle, as if he wanted to see panic on Xie Rongying's face.
But he was disappointed. Instead of disappointment on Xie Rongying's face, the smile on the corners of her lips deepened and the disdain in her eyes grew stronger.
"Xie Rongying! Survival in Bianjing doesn't require ruthlessness!" Shi Yang stared at Xie Rongying viciously: "I fell into your hands this time, and next time you will fall into the abyss!"
"You, a married daughter, have extended your hand to your natal family and plotted against your husband's family. Xie, you have brought disaster to both the Qin and the Qin families. Sooner or later, they will be wiped out!"
Xie Rongying smiled slightly: "Are you done?"
Shi Yang was stunned. Looking at Xie Rongying's face, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
"Master Shi is so smart, haven't you ever thought about why I kept you but not Shi Mingyan?" Xie Rongying stared at Shi Yang with an indifferent expression: "Since your Shi family has become a pawn in the hands of the Grand Empress, the government must be unhappy with your Shi family."
"And the Empress Dowager, because my Xie family is currently a useful arm of the emperor, wants to get rid of it as soon as possible, using the Xie family's defeat to break the current deadlock in Bianjing. However, what the Empress Dowager did not expect is that your Shi family is not a sharp knife, but a needle that will pierce her."
Xie Rongying finished speaking, with a slightly evil smile on his face: "Uncle Shi, it's time for you to take the stage."
"What are you going to do?" Shi Yang's scalp tingled as he listened to Xie Rongying's words. "What are you going to do?"
"Of course, I want Uncle Shi to see how to break the deadlock in Bianjing." After Xie Rongying finished speaking, the smile on her lips disappeared instantly. She said in a deep voice: "Gu Xun, take these father and son away."
"Yes." Gu Xun said respectfully.
"Xie Rongying!" Shi Mingyu, who had remained silent throughout the entire process, got up from the ground and roared, "You bitch, you will die a miserable death! If you can't kill me this time, I'll kill you next time!"
Xie Rongying, who had just turned around, stared sideways at Shi Mingyu, whose face was filled with anger and fierceness: "If you hadn't said anything, I would have forgotten that the Third Young Master is such a handsome young man."
When Shi Mingyu heard the word "young master", the anger in his eyes deepened.
Xie Rongying snorted and laughed, "Gu Xun, this young Master Shi is definitely the material for being a male prostitute to a minor official. Throw him to the lowest-class Xianggu House in Bianjing and let the customers there have a taste of what it's like to be a young master from an aristocratic family. It would be best if he could get away with it."
"Xie Rongying!" Shi Mingyu felt a chill run down his spine after hearing Xie Rongying's words: "Xie Rongying, you will not die well!"
"Thank you, Rongying!" This time, Shi Yang's tone was filled with pleading: "Rongying! Please don't, Rongying. Mingyu grew up with you after all. Rongying, you can't be so cruel. Uncle Shi was wrong. Uncle Shi shouldn't have taken action against your father for his own future, Rongying!"
Xie Rongying sneered: "Do you think you are really wrong?"
It's just fear.
Shi Yang watched Xie Rongying leave, the panic in his eyes growing more and more intense. He didn't know what scene Xie Rongying had just said "it's his turn to play", but he knew from Xie Rongying's attitude towards Shi Mingyu that this "scene" of his would not have a good ending!
"Rongying, Rongying!" As Xie Rongying left, Shi Yang fell to the ground.
——
It was already noon when Xie Rongying returned to the East Garden. As soon as she walked through the outer courtyard, she saw Mrs. Li coming forward to greet her.
"Young Madam, you're back." Mrs. Li glanced towards the inner courtyard while speaking.
Xie Rongying looked towards the inner courtyard.
"The second lady is here with people from the palace." Mrs. Li's voice was very low.
Xie Rongying subconsciously thought that the person Zheng brought was someone close to Concubine Chen, and she said, "I know."
"Come in quickly." said Mrs. Li.
When Xie Rongying went to the vegetable market, she only brought Gu Xun with her. At this time, Dongxue and Cuizhi were dealing with Zheng.
When Xie Rongying reached the entrance to the flower hall, she heard Zheng Shi asking, "Has the relationship between the young marquis and Rongying improved recently?"
"I see Junyi has been going to Dongyuan quite often recently."
Dongxue said, "The Young Marquis and the Young Madam are husband and wife. It's perfectly normal for them to visit the East Garden frequently. Why is the Second Madam so surprised?"
Zheng didn't expect Dongxue to say something that made her feel uncomfortable. Just as she was about to speak, Xie Rongying's voice came from the door.
"Second Aunt, don't you want to see the relationship between me and the young marquis improve?"
