Chapter 120: Fast Action
When the news that Shangguan Jing was taken away by King Wei was brought back to the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion, people from the second and third houses were all in Qin Junchen's mourning hall.
"What?" Qin Beiyuan was shocked. "Is it related to the traitorous Shangguan family?"
Originally, when Shangguan Yao married Qin Junyi, no one ever associated Shangguan Yao with the Shangguan family that was implicated in the extermination.
After all, the Shangguan family had been wiped out, and even the nine clans were not spared.
Now it is said that Shangguan Yao's brother is related to the Shangguan family of that time.
"Is the news accurate?" Qin Fengyuan looked solemn. If it was really related to the Shangguan family who collaborated with the enemy and committed treason, Shangguan Yao would have to be dealt with in time to avoid causing trouble for the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion.
"Why is it inaccurate?" Jiang Jin thought of the meaningful look in King Wei's eyes before he left: "After Qi Zhan heard the news, he quickly handed Shangguan Jing over to King Wei, fearing that he would be implicated."
"What's been going on with Junyi these past few days?" Qin Fengyuan thought of how Qin Junyi had prevented them from seeing Shangguan Jing. "Could it be that he already knew Shangguan Jing was related to the traitorous Shangguan family, and that's why he didn't let us see him?"
"That's right." Jiang Jin felt a little scared. "Jun Yi must know something, but he's afraid that if we know too much, we'll be implicated. So he wants to discuss this with the Crown Prince to resolve it."
"So, if Shangguan Jing is related to the Shangguan family, he must be handed over." Qin Beiyuan said, looking at Qin Junchen's coffin again: "Could it be that Junchen discovered Shangguan Jing's identity and died?"
Jiang Jin echoed, "That's what I guessed."
"What is Shangguan Yao's purpose in coming to our Qin family?" Qin Fengyuan said sternly to the maid waiting beside him, "Go and capture Shangguan Yao!"
"yes!"
Qin Fengyuan watched as about five or six maids walked out of the yard and said coldly, "Don't even think about destroying my Qin family!"
After hearing the conversation between the few people, Xue Qing took a detour and ran towards Linfeng Garden when the maids walked out of the courtyard.
When the news reached Dongyuan, Xie Rongying was slightly surprised.
I didn't expect King Wei to act so quickly.
I never expected that Shangguan Jing would be taken away so blatantly.
"Now the second and third masters have sent people to Linfeng Garden." Cuizhi said.
Xie Rongying raised an eyebrow. If Qin Junyi knew that he would end up making things worse, she wondered if he would regret not replacing Shangguan Jing quickly.
"Girl, do you want to go to the front yard?" Dongxue asked.
Xie Rongying chuckled, "Let's not go. Once the news gets to Second Uncle and Third Uncle, Qin Junyi will naturally think of what Shangguan Yao will face. He will definitely come back to protect Shangguan Yao."
"You're still protecting him even after all this?" Cuizhi's eyes widened. "What kind of magic potion did Shangguan Yao give the young marquis?"
Xie Rongying looked at Dongxue: "Are you keeping an eye on the new maid who appeared beside Shangguan Yao?"
"Keep an eye on her." Dongxue thought of her encounter with Wen Zi today and said, "The girl Xueqing beside Shangguan calls Wen Zi. She must be Shangguan Jing's guard. I see that her every move is more agile than that of an ordinary maid. She must be quite skilled."
Xie Rongying lowered her eyes and smiled faintly. Shangguan Yao's test showed that these people were already suspicious of her.
She said, “Keep staring.”
"yes."
Xie Rongying added, "Give some extra money to the maids who do the rough work in the mansion. It's better to have them keep an eye on Linfeng Garden than to send someone to keep an eye on it. As for Wen Zi, since she has some skills, let's arrange for father's people to keep an eye on her."
"yes."

Linfeng Garden.
Xueqing took a shortcut and arrived at Linfeng Garden earlier than the group of maids. After passing through the gate, she rushed straight to the main house.
"Madam! Something bad has happened, Madam!"
Wen Zi came out from the inner room: "Madam just took a nap, what are you doing?"
"Miss Wen, something bad has happened. I just heard that the eldest son was taken away by the King of Wei. The reason given is that he is involved with the Shangguan family, who are collaborating with the enemy and treasonous. The news reached Master Qin, and he sent people to Linfeng Garden!"
"What did you say?" Wen Zi's face suddenly turned cold: "The eldest son was taken away by the King of Wei?"
Xueqing nodded vigorously.
At this time, Shangguan Yao stood behind the gauze curtain, her face pale.
"Madam, are you okay?" Xue Qing saw this and immediately stepped forward to support Shangguan Yao: "Madam, the young marquis should be back soon, don't worry."
"My brother was taken away by King Wei?" Shangguan Yao's mind was buzzing at this moment.
Wen Zi was about to step forward and say something when she heard footsteps outside. She immediately walked out of the room and saw that the maids had already walked into the courtyard.
"What are you going to do?" Wen Zi asked coldly.
One of the maids said, "The Second Master has ordered the servants to come and take the young lady away."
"Why do you want to take the young lady away?" Wen Zi stood at the door with a murderous look on his face.
What happened today was something she never expected. She thought there was no problem with Qin Junyi.
Unexpectedly, the King of Wei got involved.
If he fell into the hands of King Wei and was taken away on the charge of treason, he would be in great danger!
So the Shangguan family paid so much for that emperor back then, and in the end, when the Shangguan family's bloodline came to Bianjing City, this was the fate they ended up with?
"The Second Master ordered us to take her away!" The leading maid said coldly, "Take the young lady away!"
As soon as the words fell, the maids rushed towards Wen Zi.
Wen Zi was about to attack the maid who rushed towards her when Qin Junyi's voice rang out from the gate: "Stop!"
Wen Zi withdrew her hand and looked coldly at Qin Junyi who walked into the courtyard.
When the maids saw Qin Junyi coming, they all bowed and saluted, saying in unison, "Young Marquis."
Qin Junyi walked straight past them and headed towards the main house.
Shangguan Yao, who was in the inner room, saw Qin Junyi coming back. She walked out of the inner room and threw herself into Qin Junyi's arms: "Junyi, what happened? Why was my brother taken away by the King of Wei?"
Qin Junyi held Shangguan Yao in his arms and said, "Yao'er, it's too late. Come on, follow me."
"Where are we going?" Shangguan Yao held Qin Junyi's hand tightly. "Junyi, are we leaving the mansion now?"
Qin Junyi did not respond to Shangguan Yao's words, but looked at Wen Zi and Xue Qing: "Hurry up and pack Madam's clothes and follow me immediately."
"Yes." Wen Zi and Xue Qing said this and walked outside.
But he was stopped by the maid Qin Fengyuan ordered: "Young Marquis, the Second Master said he wants to take the young lady with him."
"Get out of the way!" Qin Junyi said coldly, "It's not his turn to make the decision in the Marquis' Mansion yet!"
The maid who was blocking the way looked embarrassed, but she still moved aside under Qin Junyi's cold gaze.
Qin Junyi took Shangguan Yao's hand and walked towards the gate. As soon as they reached the gate, they ran into Qin Fengyuan and Qin Beiyuan and his group.
"Junyi, where are you planning to take Shangguan Yao?" Qin Fengyuan asked coldly.
