Welcome the Good Man

Chapter 171 She is still a chess piece after all
The slap on her face was so painful that it burned. Xie Hejun looked in shock at Nanny Sun, who used to be servile to her. Now she dared to boss her around and hit her. Hit her???

Guan Yulan was also stunned. She had never expected that her daughter whom she had carefully raised would be humiliated on the spot. She immediately became angry and said with red eyes and trembling voice: "Stop, stop - your hand!!!"

After all, she was the high and mighty master in the past, so the nanny looked at Madam Guan with some guilt.

"Madam, if you have anything to say, please say it nicely. Madam cannot be provoked." Mother Wang has watched Xie Hejun grow up since she was a child, and she couldn't help but feel sorry for the eldest lady, but she also knew that the old lady was not someone who was easy to mess with, so she tried her best to reconcile.

After hearing what Mother Wang said, Mrs. Guan sat down with a resentful look on her face.

After slightly glancing at the nanny beside him, she looked at Xie Hejun, her words filled with anger, "Everyone says you are well-educated and the most talented person in this mansion, but I am your elder after all. Shouldn't you be taught a lesson for your disrespect this time?"

Xie Hejun was about to retort, but Mother Wang quickly tugged at her sleeve, frowned and shook her head.

Xie Hejun suppressed his anger and said nothing.

Guan Yulan looked at her daughter so aggrieved, sweat broke out on her forehead, "He, Jun, no, no -"

The more Madam Guan listened to Guan Yulan's incoherent words, the angrier she became. She couldn't help but choke and said, "Stop talking. You are the wife of the Marquis after all. Wouldn't others laugh at you if you were like this???"

Guan Yulan, whose face flushed with anxiety, turned pale at the blow from her mother.

"However, fortunately, Chengyi worked hard and won the honor. I believe that the Xie family will not treat you coldly." Old Lady Guan sighed slightly.

Guan Yulan felt as if something was leaking out of her heart, and she felt a chill. It turned out that her efforts and tenacity were just a last gasp in her mother's eyes. As for her mother, she was not glad that her daughter was still alive, but worried that her position in the Marquis' Mansion would be replaced...

"I heard from Mr. He that Liu Wutong was driven out?" Old Madam Guan's eyes turned slightly.

Xie Hejun was a little puzzled. He glanced at his mother before turning to look at Old Madam Guan. “Yes.”

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk..." Old Madam Guan let out a long sigh.

Xie Hejun was puzzled.

Guan Yulan was even more confused.

Mother Wang, on the other hand, looked carefully. She looked at the woman behind Old Madam Guan and felt a chill in her heart.

"How can such a huge mansion survive without a mistress?" Old Lady Guan said dimly.

Xie Hejun suddenly woke up in shock and said in disbelief: "What do you mean, grandma? Mother is still fine."

Madam Guan frowned and asked, "Is your mother handling all the big and small matters in this mansion now?"

Guan Yulan looked at her mother sadly and said in a gloomy voice, "Mother, what do you mean?"

"A man cannot live without a woman, let alone a marquis. He not only needs a woman to serve him, but also to support the reputation of this marquis's mansion. Now that you are unable to move around easily, I thought it would be better to let Yingying serve the marquis and be a pair of eyes for you." Old Lady Guan said very solemnly.

At this moment, Guan Yulan stood there in shock, motionless, with her eyes turning red for a moment.

Xie Hejun was so surprised that he didn't know how to start.

Even Mother Wang was so shocked that her head was buzzing. She had never expected this situation to happen.

Then, Madam Guan said to Guan Yingying, "Greetings to Madam." Guan Yingying walked to Guan Yulan obediently, like a small white flower about to bloom, and said innocently and purely, "Yingying greets Madam."

Guan Yulan felt a tight pain in her heart, as if her flesh was being cut off piece by piece. She had been strong all her life, but she only gave her softness to her mother's family. She never expected that the person who made her bleed in the end was the one she had embraced with all her heart...

"No!" Xie Hejun said firmly, his eyes full of resistance.

"Are you going to hand over the glory of the Guan family to those wild women outside?" Old Madam Guan rebuked dissatisfiedly.

"But how can you hurt your mother like this?" Xie Hejun didn't understand. Could it be that glory was more important than his own daughter?

Madam Guan's face darkened. "I am doing this precisely to protect your mother! Otherwise, once other women enter the Marquis' Mansion, your mother will not be able to enjoy the rest of her life in peace!"

Guan Yulan suddenly smiled bitterly. How could she be so naive? To Qingzhou, she was just a pawn to continue the glory. She even coveted her mother to only think about her. This was simply too fantastical.

Just when Xie Hejun was about to argue for his mother, he heard Guan Yulan mumble, "Okay..."

"Mother!" Xie Hejun looked at his mother in disbelief.

Mrs. Guan was obviously satisfied with this attitude, so she walked towards Guan Yulan, patted her daughter's hand, and said earnestly: "Good child, you understand your mother's painstaking efforts..."

Afterwards, Madam Guan looked at Xie Hejun with a slightly deep look in her eyes, "That Huo Aying——"

***
Songhuayuan.

Ah Ying sat upright and looked at the old lady, "Grandma, I'm afraid that the purpose of this old lady Guan's visit this time is not as simple as a visit."

The old lady looked at Ah Ying gently and asked, "What did you see?"

Ah Ying was stunned. She was unprepared for her grandmother's direct question.

The old lady stood up slowly, "You said that the old lady of Qingzhou brought a young and beautiful woman?"

Ah Ying nodded faintly.

The old lady pondered for a moment, her expression difficult to discern.

"Grandma, why don't Aying leave in the next two days?" Aying could see that Mrs. Guan had a problem with her, and was a little worried that it would make things difficult for her grandmother again.

The old lady saw things clearly and was open-minded. "If you leave, it will only be a waste of time for an old woman like me..."

Of course, Ah Ying didn't mean that. She quickly put her arm around her grandmother's arm and said apologetically, "How can Ah Ying bear to see Grandma suffer? It's just that Old Madam Guan doesn't seem to like me, and Ah Ying is afraid that this will make things difficult for Grandma."

The old lady patted Aying's hand and looked at Aying with relief. "You are a child who is very thoughtful. You want to take care of this and that. But as long as you are a human being, it is impossible to be liked by everyone. Before, grandma also wanted to let you leave the house, but that was because you and Chengyi had not yet done anything, and grandma didn't want people to talk about you. However, now that the old lady of the Guan family is here, you should not go out first. She came this time either for the Marquis or for Chengyi. If it is for Chengyi, then if you are here, I will be more willing to talk to you. After this matter is resolved, you can leave the house for a while. What do you think?"

Ah Ying was filled with gratitude for the old lady's consideration for her, so she looked at her grandmother and said with tears in her eyes, "I will listen to you, grandma."

As soon as he finished speaking, a maid came in to report.

"Madam, the old lady from Qingzhou is here."
