Chapter 147 Move out

The carriage slowly stopped at the Marquis's mansion.

Xie Chengyi's thoughts had just returned to normal, and he said softly, "I'll take you in."

Ah Ying looked at Xie Chengyi with a calm expression, "I'll go in by myself."

Xie Chengyi thought Ah Ying was angry, so he explained: "Ji Yao and I——"

Ah Ying smiled and said, "My Lord, I am not angry. This is your past with the princess. I have never participated in it, and I am not qualified to judge who is right or wrong. If you still have feelings for the princess, I will not force you."

Xie Chengyi was surprised for a moment, "Aying."

"Okay, go to sleep." Xie Chengyi has always been in control of the situation, but this time it was Aying who took the lead.

Xie Chengyi did not explain further, as he felt that Aying did not need it.

On the way back, Su Jian couldn't help but sigh: "Girl, sometimes a man needs to be held tightly in your hands."

How could Ah Ying not know this, but what could she hold on to? Without true love to maintain it, she would not be able to hold on until old age.

"I'm tired and I don't want to waste all my energy on this." Aying said truthfully.

Su Jian just pursed her lips slightly. How could she forget that the girl has never been someone who is limited to trivial love affairs.

Returning to the side hall of Songheyuan, Aying carefully looked at every furnishing, feeling deeply moved.

Maybe this is a signal.

evening.

Aying specially prepared clothes she made to visit her grandmother.

Seeing Ah Ying's expression, the old lady asked with concern, "Are you feeling well now?"

Ah Ying smiled faintly, "It's already better."

Then, Su Jian presented the clothes, "Madam, this is made by the girl herself."

Ah Ying smiled and said, "Ah Ying's clothes are crude, so Grandmother, please make do with them."

The old lady was very pleased and said, "You are a child. You are always willing to do something useful."

Stroking the clothes, the old lady nodded repeatedly, "Grandma was right about you..."

"Grandma, Aying wants to tell you something first." Aying looked serious.

The old lady looked at Ah Ying and guessed that something must have happened, so she looked at Ah Ying and asked slowly, "What's wrong?"

"I want to move out." Aying said firmly.

The old lady was startled, "Go out?"

Ah Ying nodded and said, "Well, there is nothing important in the mansion now. I think it would be better to live outside."

Although she didn't follow Ah Ying every day, the old lady could guess most of it, "Did Cheng Yi make you sad?"

Ah Ying waved her hands quickly, "No, no, it was me."

The old lady listened carefully to what Aying said.

"I think the prince has been a little lost lately. Perhaps he is under a lot of pressure being caught between me and the princess. Besides, he sees her every now and then, which inevitably makes him feel embarrassed sometimes. I thought about moving out so that he can think it over carefully." Aying replied.

Unexpectedly, the old lady immediately said with a serious expression: "What's there to be embarrassed about! I have chosen you as my granddaughter-in-law, and I don't want anyone else!"

Hearing the old lady defending her like this, Ah Ying was deeply moved. She gently held the old lady's arm, snuggled up to her, and murmured, "Grandma, I know you are good to Ah Ying, but what matters between men and women is fate and love, not gratitude and responsibility. If the prince has not thought clearly about this matter, I think it is not good for him, and it is not fair to me. You also said that the two of us have a long way to go. How can we grow old together without thinking clearly? Right?"

After hearing what Ah Ying said, the old lady knew that she had made up her mind, but she really didn't want to see any rift between the two lovers. "Ah Ying, don't worry, grandma is always on your side."

Ah Ying hugged her grandmother tighter and said, "Thank you, grandma."

"If you want to move out, go to my small house in the other courtyard. I'll ask Madam Su to give you the house deed later." The old lady said. This made Ah Ying laugh. She hadn't even married yet, but she was already offering a house. "No need, grandma, I have a place to live."

"Where do you get the money?" the old lady asked with concern.

Ah Ying never stood up straight again. "I used some spare money to open a shop. Maybe I was lucky and made some money."

Aying didn't intend to hide this matter from the old lady. If it weren't for her grandmother, she wouldn't be where she is now.

The old lady's eyes suddenly lit up, and she asked incredulously, "Really?"

Ah Ying nodded and said, "I can't sit still. When I make money, I feel at ease. Grandma, don't worry, the money I earn is clean."

These few words fully express Aying's sadness.

"Silly child, I feel sorry for you..." Grandmother hugged Aying and said lovingly.

After Aying went back, the old lady couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

Nanny Su looked at the sky and said worriedly, "Madam, it's getting late."

"Aying, will you miss Chengyi forever?" the old lady murmured.

Nanny Su sighed softly: "People who are destined to meet will meet even if they are far apart; people who are not destined to meet may not see each other even if they are close."

The old lady knew this, but she really didn't want any accidents to happen.

"The more independent Ah Ying is, the more dangerous it will be, Chengyi..."

Madam Su comforted her, "Miss Ying is not that powerful."

"It's not Aying's power. This woman, once she is no longer financially dependent on you and has her own ways of doing things, what's the use of a man?" said the old lady, leaning on her cane.

Nanny Su smiled and said, "These two are a pair of happy enemies, they will never break up..."

The old lady was happy to hear such words, "I hope so. I just hope Chengyi doesn't get carried away and lose his mind."

The old lady is worried about this matter.

Ah Ying felt unprecedented relaxation, and felt that all the pores in her body were relaxed.

"Su Jian, I want to go out for some fresh air. You don't have to follow me." Ah Ying was really excited. He thought that he couldn't sleep anyway, so he thought of going out for a walk.

Su Jian responded, "Yes."

Except Songheyuan.

There was almost no one outside under the cool moonlight.

Ah Ying did not dare to go far away, but just sat quietly on the veranda next to her.

Such quiet time is rare. She is either dealing with this or worrying about that. Now, she doesn't have to worry about anything. She feels that even sitting down and listening to the wind is a kind of enjoyment.

However, the weather was cold after all, and I couldn't sit still for a while.

As I was walking towards Songhe Courtyard, I saw two old women walking towards me hurriedly on the snow.

A Ying leaned gently to the side.

The old woman wiped her sweat as she walked and said, "This is too hasty. Those are two packets of medicine. Did you take them all at once?"

Another woman said, "Who said it wasn't true? I never thought this girl would be so fiery. Isn't she afraid of losing two lives?"

"Oh, stop talking. If something really happens, I won't be able to enjoy the good life, and I don't think I'll even be able to survive!"

The two of them walked straight to Yimeyuan with anxious looks, without even noticing Ah Ying.

"One corpse, two lives?" Ah Ying only remembered these four words throughout the whole process. Could it be Guan Mengzhu?
