Chapter 156 What a coincidence
Xie Rongying looked Shangguan Yao up and down and became interested.
She asked, "Then how did you tell that girl that you would come and apologize to me?"
Shangguan Yao smiled. "It's nothing more than saying that from the time she arrived at the Marquis of Yongyi's mansion until yesterday, she wasn't as skilled as the others. She apologized to the young lady first, then played the pig to eat the tiger. She also mentioned that Qin Junyi was going to the border, and she didn't want to cause any more trouble. The girl also felt sorry for her master and wanted to leave Bianjing, this troubled place, as soon as possible, so she followed along."
"So that's how it is." Xie Rongying's smile deepened. She then asked curiously, "Since you're afraid that the girl next to Shangguan Yao might become suspicious, aren't you afraid that Qin Junyi might become suspicious?"
"After all, Qin Junyi and Shangguan Yao were the ones who got naked together when their love was at its peak."
As Xie Rongying spoke, she carefully looked at the face of the fake Shangguan Yao. If she hadn't known about this in advance, she would never have suspected that the Shangguan Yao standing in front of her was a fake.
Be it actions, voice, or even the look in her eyes, they are exactly the same as Shangguan Yao's.
"So, the young lady is curious about this." Shangguan Yao smiled faintly: "The most taboo thing in our line of work is to be yourself. I am Shangguan Yao, and Shangguan Yao is me."
Xie Rongying frowned slightly.
"I took Shangguan Yao away from the young lady's maid last night just to see Shangguan Yao's physical characteristics." Shangguan Yao explained when she saw the confusion in Xie Rongying's eyes.
Xie Rongying listened to these words, and a guess flashed through her mind. She asked, "Could it be that you have been secretly observing Shangguan Yao's every move for a long time?"
"About a month ago." Shangguan Yao looked at Xie Rongying with a faint smile.
Her master asked her not to hide anything from the young lady of the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion, so she was quite honest.
During this month, she not only observed Shangguan Yao, but also knew Qin Junyi's hobbies and taboos very clearly.
"Then why are you still afraid that this girl will suspect you?" Xie Rongying asked back, her eyes deepening as she looked at Shangguan Yao in front of her.
Since he had set his sights on Shangguan Yao a month ago, it seemed that King Wei had already figured out his next move and was just looking for an opportunity.
As it happens, yesterday was the perfect opportunity.
Shangguan Yao stared at Xie Rongying in confusion. Thinking that the young lady of the Yongyi Marquis's residence didn't seem like someone who would pry into such matters, she frowned and said, "Xueqing has been with Shangguan Yao since she was little. Naturally, she knows everything about her. It's better to be safe than sorry. I don't want to find any flaws in this girl."
As she spoke, Shangguan Yao bowed to Xie Rongying and said, "Thank you very much, Madam."
Before Xie Rongying could react, Shangguan Yao turned and walked towards Xue Qing.
There was a hint of solemnity in Xie Rongying's eyes. Trouble her?
How troublesome?
Without Xueqing, how can I stand firm in front of Shangguan Yan?
Xie Rongying stared at the figure that was slowly walking away from the path in confusion, and what was said made her confused.
We can't let her get rid of Xue Qing for no apparent reason, right?
The other side.
Xueqing followed Shangguan Yao and saw that Shangguan Yao looked serious.
She asked cautiously, "Madam, does the young lady not accept your apology?"
"How could she accept an apology?" Shangguan Yao chuckled. "I'm just afraid that she'll deal with me during these days in Bianjing. It doesn't matter whether she accepts it or not."
Xue Qing recalled the scene where her master was held hostage by Gu Xun. She shrank her neck and said, "I think you are doing the right thing. First, you should ease the relationship with the young lady. After leaving Bianjing with the young marquis and returning to Longxi, you can tell the master about what happened in Bianjing. It won't be too late to deal with the young lady later."
Xueqing finally understood that her master alone was no match for Xie Rongying.
Even in a situation like what happened at Jiang's house yesterday, everyone thought Zhang Ruru was very capable, but unexpectedly, her master ruined the situation for Xie Rongying.
I don’t know if Zhang Ruru will regret it when she knows the truth and realizes that she shot herself in the foot.
"I am really worried about you, Madam. Why don't you tell the young marquis what happened yesterday? Otherwise, I am afraid that the young madam's people will take your life." Xue Qing said worriedly.
"No." Shangguan Yao shook her head. "Junyi is planning to leave Bianjing with the Xie family's caravan soon. We can't let the relationship between Junyi and Xie Rongying become more strained at this time."
Xue Qing nodded, a look of worry on her face: "Madam is right, it's not too late to talk about it after the young marquis's matter is settled."
Shangguan Yao did not respond to Xueqing's words, but remained silent all the way.
As they were about to enter Linfeng Garden, Shangguan Yao slowed down her pace, glaring at Xueqing. She said, "Xueqing, how about this? Before the young marquis decides when to leave Bianjing, you should go to the East Garden every day and bring my thoughts to Xie Rongying. This way, I can let her know that I truly want to make peace with her."
"Okay." Xue Qing nodded: "I will do as you wish, Madam."
*
Ever since Shangguan Yao returned to the Yongyi Marquis Mansion after being injured at the Jiang family, Xueqing, who was by her side, went to the East Garden almost every day.
When he went to the East Garden, he often avoided the servants of the Marquis' Mansion, which led to Qin Junyi not knowing about this. However, Zheng and Bai from the second and third rooms found it very strange.
However, Zheng and Bai did not want to interfere in the affairs of the first wife.
Especially Mrs. Bai. After the incidents with Mrs. Jiang Wang and Old Lady Jiang, she became more and more convinced that Xie Rongying was very evil.
Mrs. Jiang Wang and Old Lady Jiang have offended Xie Rongying many times.
Thinking about the people she knew who had offended Xie Rongying and died one after another, Bai felt terrified and even thought of dividing the mansion.
However, Zheng still went to Dongyuan every few days as before to get closer to Xie Rongying.
During this period, Xie Jing's relationship with Youqinglou became much closer.
Even occasionally one could hear Feng Qing say, "Brother Jing."
Xie Jing obviously enjoyed being called Feng Qing, and he became more and more close to Feng Qing.
So far, the two of them have never done anything beyond their rights. Although Xie Jing often comes here, it seems that he only comes here to have a heart-to-heart talk.
Feng Qing was very surprised when she learned from Xie Jing that he could no longer have children.
"I didn't expect the Madam to be such a cruel person." Feng Qing raised her eyes to look at the man sitting cross-legged opposite her, and her gaze fell on the chessboard again: "Could it be that the Madam used the most famous poison of the Yan family on Brother Jing?"
Xie Jing smiled faintly and said, "Yes, it's that Yunluo Powder."
Feng Qing paused as she was about to place the chess piece. She raised her eyes and stared at Xie Jing: "What a coincidence! I have a medicine here that can cure this poison."
