Chapter 158 Insist on this
In late June, the weather was hot and dry, which attracted more people to inns and teahouses.
After Zhang Ruruo got into trouble at the Jiang family, rumors spread in Bianjing City that the massacre at the Duke of Yingguo's mansion was related to the Jiang family.
The sixth master of the Jiang family raped Miss Zhang in Kaibao Temple, and in order to vent Zhang Ruruo's anger, the Duke of Yingguo's mansion also killed Jiang Yin.
As for how Jiang Yin's body was dismembered, the Jiang family did not disclose it, but there is no wall that is impenetrable in this world, and the rumors about how tragic Jiang Yin's death was spread more and more fiercely.
Later, the actions of the Duke of England's Mansion against the Earl of Yongqin's Mansion were also seen by many colleagues.
In addition, Zhang Ruru was pregnant with Jiang Yin's child, so the Jiang family wanted to arrange a marriage with the Duke of Yingguo and let Zhang Ruru give birth to Jiang Yin's child.
When the Jiang family brought this up to the Duke of England's Mansion, the Duke of England sent people to humiliate the Jiang family and even threatened to abort the baby in Zhang Ruru's belly.
As a result, the Jiang family could no longer tolerate this, and they endured it even though the Duke of Yingguo wanted to kill Jiang Yin.
Now even Jiang Yin’s only bloodline is to be killed.
He bribed a killer to take Zhang Ruru away. When the Duke of Ying's mansion was immersed in grief over the death of Madam Xue, he killed the entire family of the Duke of Ying's mansion.
Just as these remarks were becoming more and more bizarre in Bianjing City.
Jiang Jin appeared in Kaifeng Prefecture.
"That Jiang Jin mentioned in Kaifeng Prefecture that it was the Jiang family who discovered the affair between Duke Yingguo and Madam Xue. The Jiang family wanted to pretend they didn't know about it, but Duke Yingguo had no intention of letting them go. Jiang Jin thought of the massacre of the entire Xue family that year, so he took preemptive action."
Cuizhi was horrified when she talked about what happened in Kaifeng Prefecture today.
"That Madam Xue wasn't actually Duke Ying's biological daughter, and she had maintained that kind of relationship with him. After Madam Xue married into the Xue family, they discovered this, and Duke Ying wiped out the entire family." Cuizhi spoke with increasing excitement. "No wonder the Xue family case remained unsolved all these years. It turns out Duke Ying was suppressing it and preventing a thorough investigation."
"If the Jiang family hadn't discovered this, I don't know how long this matter would have been concealed."
After Cuizhi finished speaking, she looked at Xie Rongying who was sitting in front of the desk with the account book and said, "Miss, why aren't you surprised at all?"
"What's so surprising about this?" Xie Rongying said without even raising her eyelids. "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. The Duke of Ying thought they would not be discovered when they massacred the entire Xue family. The Jiang family also thought they would not be discovered when they killed the Duke of Ying in order to protect themselves. In the end, won't they all be discovered?"
"Mr. Jiang took all the blame. He said he arranged it all, and none of his family members knew about it. There was a big commotion in Kaifeng Prefecture today. When I left, Mr. Qi from Kaifeng Prefecture said he wanted to take Mr. Jiang to the palace."
Xie Rongying didn't want to hear about this anymore, so she asked Dongxue, "Dongxue hasn't come back yet?"
Ever since Xie Rongying asked Dongxue to keep an eye on Xie Jing, she almost always stayed at Xie's house and Youqing Tower where Xie Jing went.
Just as Cuizhi was about to speak, Dongxue appeared at the door.
"girl."
Seeing this, Cuizhi immediately said, "Miss, I'll go make you some tea."
After saying that, he walked out of the room and closed the door consciously.
"Speak." Xie Rongying saw the seriousness on Dongxue's face and knew what had happened.
Dongxue took two steps forward and looked at Xie Rongying with caution. "Today, the master went to see the old lady. After expressing his concern for her, he mentioned the Feng family."
"Feng family?" Xie Rongying was unfamiliar with this surname: "Which Feng family?"
It seems that there is no clan with the surname Feng in the city of Bianjing.
"The Feng family of Chen County." Dongxue reminded, "They are somewhat related to Madam's family."
"Chen County?" Xie Rongying raised her eyebrows slightly. "The aristocratic family over at the old house?"
Dongxue nodded. "Back when our Xie family was still in Chen County, we were on good terms with the Feng and Yan families. I heard from Madam Sun that the girl the master was attracted to was the Feng family's youngest daughter, Feng Peizhi. They were in love, but then something happened for unknown reasons. Within a few days, the Feng family left Chen County, and we still don't know what happened to them."
"Didn't father mention the Feng family? What did he mention?" Xie Rongying became interested. She put down what she was doing and picked up the teacup.
Dongxue said, "The master said he wanted to bring the Feng family's daughter back to his mansion in a few days, and he also said that he owed the Feng family this."
"The daughter of the Feng family?" Xie Rongying was about to bring the teacup to her lips when she put it down and sneered, "Could the daughter of the Feng family be the prostitute he's been particularly interested in lately?"
"Yes." Dongxue nodded. "But the old lady doesn't know. The master told the old lady that the girl has been living in poverty these years. He also said that since you are married, the old lady has no one to accompany you. He wants the girl to come to the mansion to keep her company."
"Ridiculous!" Xie Rongying's eyes turned cold and she stood up suddenly: "Go back home."
Xie Rongying didn't know what kind of connection Xie Jing had with the Feng family, but the woman from Youqing Tower was obviously targeting the Xie family. She thought Xie Jing just wanted to have fun.
So he didn't say anything that would make Xie Jing lose interest.
I didn't expect that things would turn out to be such that the woman was allowed into the house and asked to stay with my grandmother!
"Miss, after the master left today, the old lady looked melancholy when she mentioned the Feng family. She must have tacitly approved of the master's actions." Dongxue reminded her, "If you bring this up with the old lady when you return, be tactful. The old lady hasn't been feeling well these past two days."
"So there's something I don't know about this, right?" Xie Rongying felt a surge of anger in her heart, thinking about how she was extremely cautious with every step she took, but her father directly brought the person back to the Xie family!
"Second Master is in the mansion. Why don't you go ask him about the affairs between the Xie and Feng families?"
Xie Rongying did not respond to Dongxue's words, but left the Yongyi Marquis Mansion in silence.
Half an hour later, at the Xie family.
As soon as Xie Rongying got off the carriage, she ran into Xie Jing's carriage coming back and watched Xie Jing get off the carriage.
He bowed and said, "Father."
Xie Jing was also happy when he saw Xie Rongying coming back: "Why did you think of coming back?"
"Dad, I have something to tell you." Xie Rongying said bluntly, even though they were in front of the gate of Xie Mansion.
Xie Jing seemed to know why Xie Rongying came. He glanced at Dongxue and said, "I know what you are going to say, but this is my business. Dad hopes you won't interfere."
"Dad, do you know what I'm going to say?" Xie Rongying's smile deepened. "So Dad is determined to bring a woman from a brothel back to the Xie family, right?"
Xie Jing stared at Xie Rongying without blinking: "What if Dad insists on doing this?"
