The Male Protagonist and I Fall in Love and Kill Each Other! [Quick Wear]

5.10 - The marquis is here to catch the traitor

A month later, Qin Yuan's motorcade finally returned to the capital.

After returning to the Hou Mansion and settling down for a while, Qin Zhong, the chief steward of the Hou Mansion, came to pay his respects to Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan was changing his clothes while listening to Qin Zhong report that the size of the house was suitable for him when he went out. Finally, he heard Qin Zhong ask: "Master Hou, there is one more thing I need to ask you for instructions." 

Qin Yuan: "What's the matter?"

Qin Zhong: "This time the Marquis came back and brought someone into the mansion. How do you plan to arrange this person?"

Qin Yuan: "You can handle these things. As for the people who usually come into the mansion, just follow the rules. Qin

Zhong lowered his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid something is wrong."

Qin Yuan put down the tea cup in his hand, "What's wrong?"

Qin Zhong said: "Your Majesty, this person is of low status and was once a brothel. If a person is brought into the mansion rashly, I am afraid that the truth will be revealed. The old slave said bluntly, when you brought this person into the mansion before, he should have gone through the side door opened for the servants, and let him enter and exit through the main entrance of the Hou Mansion. No. That's right."

Qin Yuan frowned as he listened, "When did these rules come into being in my palace?" 

"My lord, it's best to be careful in everything, be careful in your words and deeds." Qin Zhong said sincerely.

Qin Yuan naturally knows what Qin Zhong means. The Qin family was harmed by a conspiracy case back then. Mr. Qin and his wife were imprisoned and both died. Now the Qin family has finally been rehabilitated, and it is all supported by Qin Yuan. , for the hundreds of people in the Hou Mansion, he really had to be careful.

The old Marquis of Qin was not a Marquis when he was alive. This title was granted after his death. Although Qin Yuan is now a Marquis and seems to be highly valued by the emperor on the surface, there is an undercurrent in this. I am afraid that only The parties concerned themselves know this.

"Then what do you think should be done with this person?" Qin Yuan asked.

Qin Zhong: "Old slave thinks that sending him out of the house is probably the safest way at the moment."

"No." Qin Yuan refused.

Qin Zhong paused and then said: "If the Marquis really wants to keep this person in the mansion, it would be best to place him in a relatively quiet courtyard in the west wing to avoid a crowded place." 

What Qin Zhong said about the west wing Qin Yuan seldom went to Xiang Bieyuan, but he thought that a "pure" place would be suitable for Jiang Yi to live, so he agreed.

Qin Zhong bowed his head and received the approval. A sophisticated look appeared in his eyes where Qin Yuan could not see him.

This Marquis Mansion is a place that he has devoted his whole life to maintaining. How can he allow a mouse droppings to ruin a pot of porridge? Now it seems that Qin Yuan is still somewhat enthusiastic about the male prostitute. Soon the heat will pass and it will be time for him to clean up his house.

Qin Zhong watched Qin Yuan grow up and was very tolerant of Qin Yuan, but he had no tolerance for anyone who might harm Qin Yuan or bring harm to the Hou family.

In this way, Jiang Yi stayed in the West Wing Villa under Qin Zhong's arrangement.

Others don't know this courtyard and think it is a unique place. But when they go in, they realize that it is clearly a dilapidated courtyard that has been in disrepair and is piled with debris.

It is said that this courtyard was originally built by the old marquis for a beauty confidant. Unexpectedly, the beauty was ill-fated. The woman lived here for less than a year before she died mysteriously in the garden. The old marquis was heartbroken for a while and ordered The yard was completely sealed.

It was not until Qin Yuan was granted the title of Marquis and the Hou's Mansion was revitalized that this courtyard was unsealed. However, when the Hou's Mansion was renovated, this courtyard was also removed. It is not known whether it was intentional or unintentional.

After Jiang Yi was taken to the other courtyard, Qin Zhong came over personally and told him to curb his habits in the brothel, remember to behave well, and warned him never to step out of the other courtyard.

After Qin Zhong left, no one came to the other courtyard again.

Jiang Yi limped and pushed open the dilapidated door. He felt a headache when he saw that there was dust and spider webs everywhere, and there was not even a decent bedding for the bed.

[Is this old man Qin planning to trap me to death here? ] Jiang Yi said.

System: [Well, from what I saw just now, his eyes said three words: I can kill you. ]

Jiang Yi waved his hand: [That's all, there are many people who want to kill me, and he is not the only one. 】

System: [It seems to make some sense? 】

No one came to help, so Jiang Yi relied on his own efforts, found tools and wood, and used a pair of crutches to solve the walking problem.

Afterwards, he did a lot of cleaning in the other courtyard, at least he had a place where he could stay, but after a busy day, no one brought him a meal.

On the first day, Jiang Yi slept the whole night on the hard bed covered with a quilt that smelled musty and was full of holes. He didn't eat anything.

The next day, he still relied on his strong perseverance and survived the whole day without eating.

On the third day, just after noon, he was already so hungry that his eyes were glowing green. He walked to the door of the courtyard with a crutch, and finally found a plate of leftovers on the ground.

Jiang Yi had just settled in the Hou Mansion when he was given such a trick, but he didn't seem very desperate. After the first three days, Jiang Yi's food had not improved significantly, and he still had no meals. Qin Yuan never appeared again, as if he had completely forgotten about him.

After another month of this, Jiang Yi decided it was time to cause trouble again, so he took advantage of one night to sneak out of the courtyard quietly, came to the kitchen, and walked around furtively. Then he clumsily climbed through the window and stole a few pieces of cake.

On a dark and windy night, Jiang Yi squatted at the door of the kitchen and ate cakes. After waiting for a long time, no one passed by. He was a little bored for a while and said, [ Show me the terrain of the Hou Mansion. Are there any cannon fodder nearby? ]

The system pulled up a free aerial view of the Hou Mansion, [30 meters to the east, a cook got up at night and was heading to the servant's hut. 】

Jiang Yi stuffed the cake into his arms and went straight to the hut. He pinched his nose and waited for a long time. Finally, he waited until the cook came out of the hut in confusion.

Jiang Yi calculated the timing and suddenly appeared at the corner. He bumped into the cook and fell to the ground. The cakes he had just stolen were scattered all over the floor.

The cook was startled at first and thought he had bumped into a ghost. Later he realized that he seemed to have bumped into a cookie thief.

"Okay, how dare you come to my kitchen to steal food!?" The cook grabbed Jiang Yi's lapel, trying to identify who he was.

After looking at it for a long time, he didn't even recognize it, "What do you do? Why haven't I seen you before?"

Jiang Yi looked very ashamed and wanted to break free from the cook's hands, "I'm  from the West Wing, just here to get some food..."
