Welcome the Good Man

Chapter 169 Proposal
Ah Ying noticed the abnormality in Xie Chengyi's expression and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Do you have any questions?"

"It can't be Chu Yi!" Xie Chengyi concluded.

"why?"

Xie Chengyi said bluntly: "The only one who can mobilize the fierce wind is Jiyao, how can Chuyi handle these things?"

Ah Ying said solemnly, "Behind her is Imperial Concubine Sheng!"

If Imperial Noble Consort Sheng intervened, that would be another matter.

But Xie Chengyi still had doubts in his heart.

"I'll go check it out. Don't get involved. It's not safe." Xie Chengyi said slowly to Aying.

But Ah Ying had finally found a clue, so how could she let it go so easily? "This matter must be related to Imperial Concubine Sheng or the Sheng family!"

Xie Chengyi looked at Ah Ying, whose anxious eyes were almost flaming with anger, and gently covered Ah Ying's cloak, moving slightly closer, "Leave this matter to me..."

Looking at Xie Chengyi's deep eyes, Ah Ying knew that it was inconvenient to continue to argue about this matter, and she didn't want it to affect their relationship, so she suppressed the layers of doubts in her heart and pretended to be obedient and said, "Okay."

"No matter who it is related to, please stop investigating privately. I will find out the truth." Xie Chengyi whispered this on the way.

Ah Ying knew that Xie Chengyi was worried that something might happen to her, "Yeah."

Soon, they arrived at Songheyuan.

Aying first went back to the bedroom to change clothes, and Xie Chengyi went into his grandmother's residence first.

The old lady was not in good spirits, perhaps because it was very cold outside, she felt a little sleepy leaning on the warm couch.

Seeing Xie Chengyi coming in, Nanny Su leaned close to the old lady's ear and whispered softly, "Old lady, the prince is here."

The old lady suddenly woke up, and after a while, she sighed, "Oh, I'm really old..."

As she spoke, Nanny Su smiled comfortingly, "The old lady is tired. There has been no peace in the mansion these days. If it weren't for you holding on all the time, this family would really be without a backbone."

The old lady's expression eased a little, "You are still good at speaking."

As he was talking, Xie Chengyi had already walked into the house.

"Grandma." Xie Chengyi saluted.

When the old lady saw her eldest grandson, her eyes became much gentler. She waved and called out, "Come here quickly. Grandma, check to see if you have lost weight."

Xie Chengyi's lips curled slightly, "Grandma, don't worry."

It wasn't until the old lady held Xie Chengyi's hand that she felt at ease. "Grandma can't help you anymore. I just hope you can be safe."

"Everything is fine." Xie Chengyi accompanied his grandmother to the dining table and helped her sit down.

"The old lady knew you were coming, so she ordered the kitchen to heat up the food." Nanny Su said with a smile.

"By the way, has it been delivered to Aying?" the old lady suddenly asked.

Xie Chengyi just continued, "Ah Ying will be here soon, so you don't have to see her off."

The old lady was stunned at first, then nodded with a slight smile, "Okay, okay, since Ah Ying got frightened, I haven't disturbed her much. It's good for you to come here today to relax."

Xie Chengyi was grateful to his grandmother for taking such good care of Ah Ying, so he said, "Thank you, grandma."

The old lady took a deep look at Xie Chengyi and said, "If you want to thank Grandmother, marry her as soon as possible. Grandmother will be happier!"

Xie Chengyi didn't say anything, just smiled. At this critical juncture, talking about marriage might be beyond his ability.

The old lady seemed to see what Xie Chengyi was thinking, so she said seriously: "If you haven't planned to get married yet, then grandma has something to talk about." Xie Chengyi was slightly startled, "What is it?"

"Aying has not yet married into the Marquis' family, but is living in the Marquis's mansion for no apparent reason. How do you want others to gossip about her?" Grandmother had a complicated look on her face.

Ah Ying, who happened to be walking to the door, heard it all. She stopped and didn't know whether she should go in.

Xie Chengyi didn't want to hide it, "Now is not the right time..."

The grandmother knew that both children had their own personalities, so she said earnestly: "If you marry her, you must marry her in a formal way; if you cannot give her a name, then don't ruin her reputation. People's words are scary, and for a woman, they are more serious than a sharp weapon."

Xie Chengyi nodded slightly...

Ah Ying didn't want to embarrass Xie Chengyi, so she asked sweetly, "What delicious food did grandma make?"

Xie Chengyi raised his eyes slightly and met Aying's clear eyes.

"You little greedy cat, come here quickly. I was just talking about you." The old lady let go of Xie Chengyi's hand lovingly and reached out to Aying with loving eyes.

Ah Ying held the old lady's hand with a smile on her face, "Grandma treats Ah Ying the best..."

"Eat quickly, don't be hungry." The old lady quickly looked at Nanny Su and asked her to serve the food.

Ah Ying kept smiling softly, but Xie Chengyi felt a tightness in his heart. This kind of obedient and sensible Ah Ying didn't look like her...

By the time the meal was over, it was already late at night.

"Chengyi, send Aying back." The old lady instructed.

Xie Chengyi quickly responded, "Yes."

As soon as he walked out of the door, Xie Chengyi asked, "Did you just hear what your grandmother said?"

Ah Ying pretended not to know and said, "What are you talking about?"

Looking at Ah Ying who was calm and composed, Xie Chengyi said solemnly, "I want to marry you only because you agree to marry me, not because anyone else is willing to force you!"

Ah Ying was stunned by Xie Chengyi's eyes.

"If you agree, I will immediately ask the emperor to grant the marriage!" Xie Chengyi looked at Aying with burning eyes.

But at this moment, A Ying suddenly retreated. She liked Xie Chengyi, but the recent troubles made her think too much. If there were hidden crises everywhere in her marriage, she would still not be able to sleep at night. She was nervous and could not stand any critical blow.

"I'm not ready yet..." Aying said truthfully.

Afraid that Xie Chengyi would think too much, she couldn't help but explain: "I don't want to hide it from you. In this life, Ah Ying only has you in her heart. It's just that, for this matter, I am indeed not completely prepared without any worries."

Xie Chengyi's expression did not change, and he silently took Ah Ying's hand, "I understand."

"However, what grandma said makes sense. I cannot help but consider your situation. The general's mansion is already complete, why don't you live there first?" Xie Chengyi said sincerely.

This feeling of being respected made Ah Ying feel at ease. She politely declined, "Since we can't let outsiders gossip about me, I can't go to the general's mansion either. I have somewhere else to go."

Xie Chengyi couldn't help but look at him with new eyes and said, "Oh?"

Ah Ying deliberately raised her face coquettishly and said: "The woman you like is not a vase..."

Xie Chengyi looked at the woman with admiration and said directly: "It seems that I can't let you go easily..."

The next day, early in the morning.

When Ah Ying was packing her things and preparing to go to Youfeng Courtyard, she suddenly heard a report from outside: "Miss Ah Ying, the eldest lady is back!"
