Chapter 121 Su Yin's Scheming
"Just kneel here today. If anything happens to Mengzhu, I will never forgive you!" When Liu Wutong heard that Guan Mengzhu fainted from anger, she went berserk for a moment. When she saw that it was Aying, the rage in her heart became even stronger.
Ah Ying ignored Liu Wutong's "punishment" and said calmly, "She was the one who provoked me first."
Seeing Ah Ying's stubbornness, Liu Wutong couldn't stand it any longer, so she raised her eyebrows and said deliberately, "You don't want to kneel, right? Well, I have plenty of ways to make you kneel!"
"Someone come here!" In an instant, several servants came in from outside the door.
Liu Wutong stretched out her hand and pointed at A Ying. Just when people thought she was blaming A Ying, suddenly, her finger moved and fell on Su Jian. "Su Jian, you didn't persuade the master, you didn't serve the master well, and you indulged the master's arrogance. You deserve to be punished! Beat him!"
Ah Ying was stunned, then stood in front of Su Jian and shouted, "Who dares!"
Su Jian looked at A Ying who supported her in surprise, her eyes filled with tears.
"I dare!" Liu Wutong shouted.
Just when the situation was tense, Xie Heni walked in.
"Mother, please calm down!" It was rare for Xie Heni to be so gentle.
Liu Wutong just glanced at her without causing any commotion. "This Marquis's family is still surnamed Xie. It's not the place for an outsider with no status or family background to make decisions!"
Xie Heni quickly said, "Mother, grandma asked me to come out to find Sister Ying, and she said I need to see her right now."
Liu Wutong glared at Xie Heni unhappily, "Is she your mother or am I your mother? Are you trying to be mean?"
Xie Heni didn't argue and just looked at her, "My grandmother asked me to come..."
No matter how domineering she was, Liu Wutong knew that she couldn't disobey the old lady, so she looked at Xie Heni reluctantly.
Xie Heni quickly waved to Aying.
In terms of courage, Aying was not afraid of her, but right now was a turbulent time, and Xie Chengyi certainly did not want internal strife to occur in the mansion, so he went out with a gloomy face.
Xie Chengfeng was beside him the whole time, and said with a look of pain as if he had lost a good opportunity: "Mom! Why don't you teach her a lesson?"
Liu Wutong was just showing off her power. If she really wanted to deal with Huo Aying, she would really mutter in her heart, "How are you going to explain when your father comes back? How are you going to explain when your eldest brother comes back?"
These two sentences left Xie Chengfeng speechless.
Yes, when it comes down to it, the source lies with my eldest brother.
Suddenly, Xie Chengyi had an idea, "Mom, if Huo Aying's appearance is damaged or her personal morality is not good, will my brother still like her? Is it possible for my father to agree to let her marry?"
Liu Wutong's eyes turned...
On the other side, Xie Heni held Huo A tightly and walked out of Songbaiyuan.
"Sister Aying, why are you arguing with Guan Mengzhu? She is not worth a word!" Xie Heni murmured.
"If she hadn't gone too far, I wouldn't have been angry with her." Aying said lightly.
Su Jian immediately agreed, "She is so ungrateful! She almost pointed at our girl and scolded her!"
Xie Heni has always had a hot temper. After hearing what Su Jian said, she also disliked this person. "I'm just confused. Why does my mother care so much about Guan Mengzhu?"
Ah Ying smiled faintly, "I don't care about Guan Mengzhu, I care about the child in Guan Mengzhu's belly. That's the eldest grandson of the Marquis' Mansion."
"I can't even raise my own son, let alone my grandson..." Xie Heni said sourly.
Aying and Su Jian looked at each other and realized that it was the truth.
Seeing that Xie Heni was in a low mood, Ah Ying said in relief: "Thanks to you for coming to the rescue today."
Xie Heni changed her previous dejected look and immediately put on a look full of pride, "That's right! Don't you see who it's for!"
The two of them walked out of the mansion one after the other, talking and laughing.
Originally, the grandmother was just making an excuse. Unable to bear the surprised atmosphere in the mansion, Aying said she would take Heni to a good place.
After entering Yiren Pavilion, Xie Heni was almost dazzled by the dazzling cosmetics.
Seeing the endless stream of customers, Aying felt very pleased. Even on such a heavy snowy day, he still had such good business, which meant that all his efforts were not in vain.
"Take whatever you like." Aying said softly.
The shopkeeper just saw A Ying and was about to come over to pay his respects when he was quietly stopped by A Ying. Except Xie Chengyi, no one knew that this was opened by her, and she didn't want to create any more trouble.
"So generous, sister?" Xie Heni gestured here and there and said with a smile.
Ah Ying said confidently: "I don't need to consider the price when buying these for you."
Just as Xie Heni was happily looking at the powder, Wang Changyue in the distance caught Aying's attention.
Come to think of it, I haven't seen him for a long time. On a snowy day like this, he looked a little anxious.
Aying did not step forward, but just looked at his figure through the bead curtain, and then looked at Xie Heni.
As the business gradually stabilized, she felt relieved.
After all, the money earned here is what gives me peace of mind.
Therefore, Aying couldn't help but sigh that it would be so comfortable for this woman once she could have her own source of income.
It seems that making money is still the king.
As soon as I stepped out of the door, I ran into Su Yin.
Ah Ying couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and sigh, enemies often meet on a narrow road.
"Miss Huo?" Apparently, Ah Ying wanted to avoid her but was unsuccessful.
He looked at her calmly with a cold face, nodded slightly, and complained in his heart: With our friendship, even saying hello seems artificial. You are lucky that I don't hurt you.
Seeing Ah Ying's disdainful look, Su Yin was not angry either, and said quietly: "Miss Ah Ying, do you know why the prince went to the border for ten years?"
Ah Ying paused, knowing that Su Yin had bad intentions, but she couldn't help wanting to understand Xie Chengyi.
"Why you go has nothing to do with me. If Miss Su wants to reminisce about the past, you've found the wrong person." Aying calmed herself down. She couldn't lose her composure first.
Su Yin smiled in surprise, with a bit of admiration, "Miss Huo is indeed not an ordinary person, but aren't you curious at all why the prince has been single for the past ten years?"
These words really hit the nail on the head of Ah Ying's mind.
"How about we sit down and have a good chat?" Su Yin looked at Aying's expression and asked tentatively.
Ah Ying looked directly at Su Yin without hiding anything, "Miss Su, you have gone to such great lengths to block me. If I don't ask anything, it would be a waste of your efforts."
Su Yin was shocked. Looking at Ah Ying who was smiling gently, she was touched. This woman had a very strong psychological quality. However, she didn't believe that Ah Ying would still be so calm after knowing all the circumstances. Then the two of them sat down quietly in the private room of the teahouse next door.
Ah Ying picked up a cup of tea and took a sip. The aroma of tea immediately filled the air. She couldn't help but praise, "Mm, good tea!"
Su Yin just curled her lips and smiled, pretending to be calm.
"Ten years ago, the Crown Prince and Princess Jiyao were childhood sweethearts and loved each other. They were regarded as a perfect match by the people of Northern Jin. There was once a rumor that the Crown Prince was going to marry Princess Jiyao. Later, Princess Jiyao was forced to marry a foreign country. The Crown Prince was heartbroken and knelt at the palace gate to beg for three days. However, it was difficult to disobey the emperor's order. When Princess Jiyao embarked on the road to marriage, the Crown Prince sealed his love for her and petitioned to go to the battlefield. He loved her so deeply that he hadn't been moved by anyone in ten years." Su Yin said.
Ah Ying listened attentively and couldn't help but sigh: "Wow..."
Su Yin said confidently: "Do you think the prince loves you? His passion has long been given to Princess Jiyao! You are just a substitute!"
Ah Ying looked at Su Yin and sighed slowly, "Miss Su, this is really a bad move. Do you think that after hearing all this, I will hesitate and have to make things clear with the prince? Or do you think I should think highly of myself and turn around and leave after knowing that it is a substitute?"
Su Yin blushed and said in shock after her thoughts were exposed, "You——"
Ah Ying said calmly, "I have to think like this. He hasn't looked for a woman in ten years. This really proves that the prince values love and loves himself. Ten years later, the prince fell in love with me, which proves that I must have some qualities that attract the prince. Regardless of whether I am a substitute or not, he is always willing to take responsibility for me. Isn't this good enough? Women, don't demand flawless emotions. That's dreaming, not reality!"
Su Yin was stunned. Who on earth was Huo Aying? His idea was so unconventional!
The words that were on the tip of her tongue were not said again. Since Huo Aying was so confident, let's see if she will still be so calm in a few days!
