Welcome the Good Man

Chapter 176 Finally Standing Up

Songhuayuan.

Old Madam Guan sat on the chair with a dignified look on her face. She gently moved the tea bowl in her hand and took a sip of the fine tea. The resentment between her brows subsided a little.

"Madam, Miss Aying is here." Mother Wang lifted the curtain and came in. She looked at the old lady's expression and said softly.

Madam Guan glanced at Mother Wang, put down the tea bowl, took the hand warmer handed over by Nanny Sun, raised her head slightly, narrowed her eyes, and said slowly: "Let her in."

Afterwards, Aying took off his cloak, calmed himself, and walked in lightly.

There was too much agarwood burning in the room, which made Ah Ying feel a little dizzy. She just frowned slightly and adjusted her expression.

"Aying greets the old lady!" Aying bowed politely and said in a gentle voice.

Old Madam Guan had heard about this woman countless times. She knew from her eldest daughter-in-law that Huo Aying was not only extremely beautiful, but also had extraordinary means. Therefore, the hostility she felt in her heart towards such a vixen who had robbed her eldest granddaughter of a good marriage was extremely strong.

Now she saw her in person. She was wearing a very plain jacket and skirt, and her hairpins and rings were mainly made of pearls and agates, which were very beautiful. The only luxury she had was her face, which was beautiful without any makeup. Even an old woman like her couldn't help but praise her beauty when she saw her. She didn't look at her carefully yesterday, but when she saw her today, she was indeed extraordinary. No wonder her grandson who hung out with men all day was so fascinated by her.

Thinking of this, she felt even more angry and depressed, and her tone was sharp, "Since you want to be my grandson's wife, can't you even give me this gift?"

Ah Ying's eyebrows jumped. Oh, it turned out that he was trying to intimidate her.

Ah Ying was not to be outdone. She continued to smile and said slowly, "What you said is a little wrong, old lady. I haven't accepted the prince's proposal yet, so how dare I call myself your grandmother? This is the most appropriate way for me to honor you, an old lady."

Madam Guan was choked on the spot, feeling a little unhappy for a moment, and couldn't help but mocking and sneer in her heart, "Are you still not willing to be my Chengyi's daughter-in-law? I don't think a woman like you is worthy of being his concubine, and yet you dare to be so rampant!"

When Nanny Sun saw the old master so angry, she also plucked up her courage and said, "Hey, Miss Huo, why don't you look at yourself in the mirror? With your family background and your lack of self-respect, it's lucky that the prince wants you. Be careful not to be too arrogant. Then don't say that the old lady didn't give you this great opportunity and favor!"

Looking at the master and servant singing in unison, Ah Ying felt for the first time that if an ordinary docile lady met such an elder, she would probably be controlled for the rest of her life.

"Aying is clumsy and not good at making friends. She only knows how to win people's hearts. I'm afraid she is not worthy of the old lady's kind training." Aying said calmly.

Seeing that Huo Aying was a person who would not be persuaded by any persuasion, Old Madam Guan was so angry that her face turned ugly. Nanny Sun was also choked by Huo Aying. After receiving a look from Old Madam Guan, she walked straight down and was about to teach this ignorant woman a lesson.

Ever since she learned that Sister Hejun was beaten, Aying understood that Old Madam Guan was an evil ancestor who didn't care about anything. On the way here, she had thought that she might also be targeted, and if she didn't obey, she would also be killed. So, when she saw Nanny Sun's posture, Aying reacted very quickly and quickly dodged the slap that Nanny Sun gritted her teeth and dodged.

Nanny Sun probably didn't expect Huo Aying to dodge, and the powerful force caused her body to fall to the side uncontrollably.

"Ouch——" With a stumble, Nanny Sun fell straight to the ground. The momentary pain made her grimace in pain.

Madam Guan immediately stood up in anger, her eyes wide open as she said, "Huo Aying, don't be ungrateful!"

At this time, Guan Yulan came over pushing her wheelchair.

"Mother..." Guan Yulan just opened her mouth when she saw Old Lady Guan dismiss her, "Shut up! I'm teaching someone a lesson, why are you butting in?"

Guan Yulan didn't expect that her mother would become more and more open about her dislike for her.

But Ah Ying couldn't bear to watch, "Madam, no matter what, Madam is still the mistress of this mansion. Isn't it too disrespectful for Madam to scold her so harshly?"

The old lady looked as if she had seen a huge joke and sneered, "You're still lecturing me? She's my daughter, I can say whatever I want, is it your turn to make irresponsible remarks?"

A Ying couldn't help it and was about to argue again, but was stopped by Guan Yulan.

When Ah Ying looked into Guan Yulan's eyes, she was somewhat shocked. At that moment, she did not feel humiliation or grievance, but rather a cold determination...

At this moment, Ah Ying was a little dazed, as if she didn't recognize him. "I'm telling you straight out, you're not worthy of being Cheng Yi's woman, not even a bed warmer. If you know yourself, leave Cheng Yi immediately, and I can give you one thousand taels of silver!" Madam Guan seemed to be running out of patience.

Ah Ying replied calmly, "If the prince said this himself, I would not take even a penny, let alone one thousand taels of silver."

Madam Guan's eyes darkened, "Then don't blame me for being rude!"

Ah Ying didn't give her a chance to get angry. "Ah Ying is not talented, but I am also a county lady appointed by His Majesty. If something happens, do you think His Majesty will not intervene? Even if the eldest princess is suspected of the attack, she is being questioned by the imperial guards. Isn't the old lady worried that it will cause trouble for the two masters of the Guan family?"

"Trouble? What trouble can we have? Even if we let you get married, there won't necessarily be any accidents. By then, it will just be a family matter. Does Your Majesty have the time to care about it?" Old Madam Guan laughed lightly at Aying for being so young.

"Aying, go back first!" At this time, Guan Yulan spoke.

Old Madam Guan was stunned for a moment when she looked at her daughter who suppressed her arrogance.

"You, go back!" Guan Yulan looked at Aying again, with an unquestionable look in her eyes.

Now Aying confirmed that the lady was really not the same lady as before, and she could probably believe it.

So, in front of Mrs. Guan's surprised and annoyed gaze, he bowed gently and said goodbye.

inside the house.

Madam Guan was so angry that she could not stand still and roared, "Are you crazy? Can she marry Chengyi? Do you have a pig brain? Wouldn't it be good to let Shuer be your daughter-in-law? The Marquis has Yingying, and Chengyi has Shuer. How can your life be bad? You have been disobedient since you were young. Whenever it comes to asking the Marquis for help, you either refuse it in this way or that way. But look at you now, you can't move, what future can you plan for the children?"

"The Marquis said that he wanted to be an upright and good official!" Guan Yulan said word by word with certainty. She believed what the Marquis said.

"Bullshit! That's just a joke to fool you!" Old Lady Guan was angry at him for not fighting back.

Ah Ying who was outside the house heard it clearly. Madam Guan was so angry that she didn't even want to pretend, not even considering that outsiders could hear or see it.

Just as Ah Ying stepped out of the stairs with a frown on her face, she was shocked to see her grandmother and the marquis standing solemnly at the door.

Grandmother's face was filled with uncontrollable heartache, and the Marquis lowered his eyes, looking solemn.

"Faced with Qingzhou's aggressiveness, Yulan has been shielding you from harsh words all her life, just to protect your good reputation. You only feel that she doesn't understand you, but you never want to understand her life. Now that your mother is old, you have to handle these household chores by yourself."

Ah Ying stood there, not knowing what to do.

"Aying, she's gone!" the grandmother called from a distance.

Ah Ying immediately responded, "Yes."

Looking at the Marquis who was passing by, it seemed that something was changing.

inside the house.

"I have made the decision on this matter. Aying will be sent away tomorrow!" Old Lady Guan issued an ultimatum.

Guan Yulan looked at her mother quietly, "You have no say in this matter."

"How dare you! If I can't make the decision, who can?" Old Madam Guan looked horrifying.

The next moment, a calm figure stepped in from outside and said, "I can make the decision!"
