Welcome the Good Man

Chapter 180 Dowry
Just as Madam Guan was trembling and stabbing at Xie Chengyi, Guan Yulan happened to see it and she exclaimed, "No!!!"

Xie Chengyi didn't move his feet at all, and his slender fingers clamped the tip of the sword with lightning speed. The powerful internal force made the sword shake, and also caused Madam Guan to fall uncontrollably into Nanny Sun's arms.

The sword reflected a little cold light in the sunlight, just like the fierceness in his eyes, which made Madam Guan regain her sanity in an instant.

"Chengyi, how are you? Are you okay?" Guan Yulan subconsciously ran towards her son, trembling with anxiety.

Xie Chengyi looked at his mother in surprise, his eyes lit up, "Mom, are you okay?"

The next second, Madam Guan began to wail, "Oh my God, look at this ungrateful couple, what sin did I commit to give birth to such a daughter!"

"Mother!!!" Guan Yulan heard her mother crying and called out harshly.

Old Madam Guan was somewhat frightened by her usually docile daughter's cruel behavior.

"Have you ever just treated me as your daughter? Have you ever thought about how I have been through all these years? Why can't you love me just once?" Guan Yulan's voice was choked with sobs, and her whole body was broken. These questions had been weighing on her heart for decades, but she didn't dare to ask, for fear that if she asked these questions, she would no longer have a mother. Now it seemed that she had never had a mother.

Madam Guan was not moved at all. "What daughter of a family doesn't live this way? Why can others do it but you can't?"

Xie Chengyi supported his mother, "Mom, stop talking."

Guan Yulan's obsession burst out like a flood. She pushed her son away, her eyes showing a determination she had never seen before. "No, Chengyi, I have to tell you. Otherwise, I will suffocate to death."

"Over the years, every time I go back, I have to take care of every member of the Guan family, even the dog at the door. Otherwise, you will take the opportunity to give me a cold shoulder to maintain your ridiculous face. But do you know what kind of life I live? I can't let the Marquis think too much, and I have to let the Guan family suck my blood and knock my marrow. Over the years, I have never slacked off, do you know?"

Her heart ached so much that Guan Yulan almost took a few long breaths to prevent herself from having a mental breakdown. She waved her hand and said fearlessly, "Forget it, you won't understand."

Leaning against her son, Guan Yulan slowly stood up, looking down at her mother, and said resolutely: "You are my biological mother, and it is my duty to take care of you. From now on, I will send you money and clothes according to your expenses every year, but from now on, the Marquis's Mansion will no longer have any relationship with the Guan family of Qingzhou. If you want to make a fuss about this matter, I have nothing to say, but I am afraid that these things done by your good son and daughter-in-law will be used by those with ulterior motives more quickly. By then, no matter how much you regret, it will be of no use."

Old Madam Guan looked at her daughter in shock. She probably didn't expect her daughter to turn against her, and she immediately fell silent.

"Also, mother doesn't have to worry about Chengyi's marriage. Aying is my chosen daughter-in-law. At least, that won't change now!" After saying this, Guan Yulan was completely exhausted and almost carried Xie Chengyi to the wheelchair.

Ah Ying, who was far away, watched all this with great excitement in her heart, and was somewhat shocked.

The old lady of the Marquis' Mansion said softly: "Now, the Marquis' Mansion can be considered safe..."

Ah Ying looked at her grandmother, who had remained aloof from the incident, with admiration, "You know all this?"

"If I intervene, Yulan may not recognize the current situation. Only Yulan can break the impasse in this matter..." The old lady of the Marquis's mansion had warm eyes and was more calm.

Only then did Aying understand why people said that the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion was the one who was in charge of all the plans.

Before Aying could digest this matter, she received an invitation from Guan Yulan, inviting her to Songhuayuan. At the same time, Mother Wang also brought a message, asking Aying to go without worry.

In fact, when Ah Ying heard Guan Yulan defending her like that, her opinion of her changed completely. She had not expected that the person who had always opposed her the most would support her so much.

When Ah Ying walked to Songhuayuan with trepidation in her heart, she happened to meet Xie Chengyi walking towards her.

"Why are you here?" Aying looked straight at Xie Chengyi.

"My mother called me." Xie Chengyi looked at Aying.

After hearing this, Aying became even more confused. What was the lady going to do?
"I don't know what the madam is going to say. My heart is pounding." Aying sounded a little nervous.

Xie Chengyi smiled slightly and took Ah Ying’s hand, “No matter what, I will be with you.

Only then did Aying feel a little relieved.

"You haven't gone in yet?" Just as love was flowing in their eyes, a voice coming from behind scared Ah Ying, and she quickly let go of Xie Chengyi's hand with a red face.

"Elder sister..." Ah Ying glared at Xie Chengyi coquettishly and called out shyly and softly.

However, Xie Chengyi seemed to do it on purpose, holding Aying tightly, as if to declare that she didn't need to run away and couldn't escape.

"Go in quickly. It's so cold outside. Aren't you afraid that your sweetheart will be frozen?" Xie Hejun was now only happy for his brother and deliberately joked.

The three of them entered one after another.

Guan Yulan asked Mother Wang to light a few more pots of charcoal early in the morning, and the room was warm and comfortable.

"Mother." Xie Hejun was in front.

Xie Chengyi and A Ying were behind him, "Mother!" "Madam!"

Guan Yulan looked extremely calm as she told the other maids, "Go wait outside."

The three of them couldn't help but become suspicious. "Sit down," Guan Yulan said gently.

Looking at her daughter and son in front of her, Guan Yulan finally realized what she should protect.

Just as the three of them sat down, there was a hurried sound of footsteps outside the door, "Am I late?"

I only heard the little maid whisper, "They are all inside."

Ah Ying was startled. It turned out to be He Ni.

Xie Heni walked into the inner room and saw the solemn expressions of Xie Hejun and the other two. She couldn't help but look at Guan Yulan and asked tentatively, "I'll come back later?"

Guan Yulan immediately said, "Sit down. I called you to come along."

Now, the four of them looked at each other in even greater confusion.

"I called you here today to say two things." Guan Yulan breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Xie Hejun knew that her mother was well, she was overjoyed. To her, as long as her mother was fine, everything else was trivial. So, she said, "Mother, you give me your orders."

"The first thing is that your grandmother went back to Qingzhou and just left. In the future, she probably won't come again..." Even if she was determined in her heart, Guan Yulan couldn't help feeling uncomfortable because she was her biological mother after all.

Xie Hejun quickly stepped forward, gently wiped his mother's tears, and comforted her: "Mother, don't be sad, you still have us. Besides, when grandma comes to her senses, maybe we can put aside the past grudges."

Guan Yulan smiled with tears in her eyes and said, "Yes, it's enough for me to have you good children. Don't worry, I'm fine."

Only then did Xie Hejun sit back with red eyes.

"There's no need to talk about my grandmother's matter anymore. It's something I need to digest on my own." Guan Yulan understood this with just one sentence.

"Another thing is that I want to give you something." Guan Yulan was obviously happy when she said this.

Xie Hejun couldn't help but be puzzled by his mother's words, "What gift did you give to make mother pay so much attention to it?"

"Give it here." Guan Yulan wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said to Mother Wang.

Then, Mother Wang came in with a tray.

Guan Yulan exerted force on her hands and tried to stand up.

Xie Hejun and Xie Chengyi quickly stood up and tried to help her, but Guan Yulan stopped them, "I'm fine."

As he spoke, he lifted the red cloth, and what caught his eye was a pair of fine jade bracelets.

"I got this pair of jade bracelets by chance on the day I gave birth to Chengyi. However, I always felt they were precious and never wore them. I was thinking of passing them on to my daughter-in-law in the future." Guan Yulan recalled the time when she got the jade bracelets, and her eyes were filled with happiness.

Everyone turned their eyes to Ah Ying, causing Ah Ying to wave her hands and say, "This is too expensive. I can't take it."

"Madam hasn't told you yet, Sister Aying, ok?" He Ni joked as soon as she saw Aying's face was blushing.

This made Ah Ying quickly curl her eyes in anger, twisting her handkerchief and hating herself for being so anxious.

Guan Yulan smiled and said, "At the moment, I can't give it to you."

Then, he looked at He Jun and He Ni and said, "This jade bracelet, I want to give one to He Jun and one to He Ni."

As soon as he finished speaking, He Ni was so shocked that she froze in place.

"What's wrong? Don't you like it?" Guan Yulan said with a deliberate smile.

Xie Heni had never thought that the lady would think of her. Tears welled up in her eyes and she choked up, "No, no, I don't deserve it..."

Guan Yulan choked back with a pained look, "What are you talking about worthy or not? You are the second daughter of my mansion, what is there that you are not worthy of? Even the moon is worthy of you!"

He Ni was so moved by these words that she hugged Guan Yulan regardless of anything else and said, "Thank you, Madam."

"I hope you two sisters can follow the good omen of this jade bracelet and find your own happiness." This is what Guan Yulan wanted to say to He Jun the most, but she knew that her daughter was proud, and having He Ni by her side could be considered as a support for her daughter.

Xie Hejun was also affected and hugged her mother and He Ni, "We two sisters will be happy."

Afterwards, Mother Wang ordered two people to carry in a box.

Xie Heni asked in confusion: "What is this?"

Guan Yulan looked at A Ying dimly, "This is the dowry I prepared for A Ying!"
