Chapter 54: Ah Ying tells me not to be cold
"Mom! I won't go! I won't go! I - don't - want to go..." Xie Chengfeng was crying and making his last struggle. Liu Wutong couldn't bear to watch it at all. She turned her back, covered her face with a handkerchief, and waved her hands helplessly.

Xie Chengyi was standing outside the tent, looking at them with disdainful eyes.

When Xie Chengfeng left the tent with no desire to live and faced Xie Chengyi, his heart was broken...

"Big, big brother." Xie Chengfeng's face still had tears left from his fruitless struggle, but a bitter smile was revealed as he nodded and bowed.

Xie Chengyi rode on a fierce horse, standing next to Xie Chengfeng in a casual manner, looking down at him with raised eyebrows and said, "What? Don't you want to practice?"

Xie Chengfeng felt a chill on his neck, and immediately bowed and shook his head, saying, "No! This is something that will boost the morale of our Xie family, so how can I not practice? It's just that my legs are a little weak..."

Xie Chengfeng's voice became weaker as he spoke, but Xie Chengyi pretended he didn't see it and deliberately asked, "A little soft?"

Here, Zhan Li came over neatly in riding clothes.

Xie Chengyi casually said, "Zhanli, Chengfeng's legs are a little weak, go find Xu Kuang and have a look!"

"Stop! Big brother! I, I, I am not soft anymore..." Xie Chengfeng stopped him immediately. He didn't dare let Xu Kuang see it. Just a few injections could make his life worse than death. Compared with this, he would rather ride a horse with his legs lifted.

Xie Chengyi curled his lips and said jokingly, "Well, this is pretty fast."

What else can Xie Chengfeng do? How can he dare to compete with his elder brother? Just admit defeat, be destroyed, and be exhausted...

Liu Wutong felt heartbroken when she secretly watched her son walk out with a grin through the gap in the tent curtain. She clenched her hands, stared at Xie Chengyi hatefully, and secretly vowed to make him pay the price for bullying her son!
In a corner of the tent, Aying set up a stove and some fine tea.

After packing everything up, he headed towards his grandmother's tent.

"Madam Su, is grandma asleep?" Aying smiled faintly.

Madam Su nodded with a smile, "It's time to go to sleep. The old lady hasn't been so happy in a long time. Miss, you are so thoughtful. You made fun of her and took good care of her. You really took the trouble."

Ah Ying said modestly: "My grandmother treats me like her own granddaughter, and this is what Ah Ying should do."

Nanny Su said with emotion: "The old lady is right. She said that the first time she saw you, she felt that she had a connection with you and that you were a noble person who came to help the Marquis' Mansion."

This sentence shocked Ah Ying. She had never thought that the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion would look upon her so favorably. Not only did she not care about her background, but she also treated her with such respect. Her heart melted immediately, "A Ying will definitely do her best to show grandma..."

Ah Ying had said many flattering words just for the occasion, but this sentence was the only one that was filled with gratitude.

"By the way, where is Sister Hejun?" After adjusting her mood, Aying asked.

Nanny Su raised her chin and said, "The eldest lady has returned to the tent, so she should be free now."

Ah Ying nodded, "Then Ah Ying will go find Sister Hejun."

Nanny Su bowed slightly.

Walking lightly to Xie Hejun's tent, Ah Ying asked softly, "Has Sister Hejun rested?"

"No, come in."

Ah Ying lifted the curtain with a smile on her face and went in, and saw a scroll that He Jun had unfolded.

Xie Hejun gently stroked the scroll, his eyes soft and his smile faint.

Ah Ying couldn't help but glance over. The painting depicted a very handsome young man, who looked a bit like Xie Hejun. Ah Ying couldn't help but praise him, "This young man is so charming and graceful, and he has some of my sister's charm."

"This is Jun Ting." Xie Hejun's eyes were full of love when he said the name.

Ah Ying was stunned and asked with a smile: "Is this my sister's child?"

Xie Hejun smiled and nodded, but his expression dimmed a little the next second.

Ah Ying didn't ask anything, but just said softly: "The young master looks heroic and free-spirited, he must have been nurtured by love since he was a child, and he must know that his mother is wholeheartedly devoted to him."

Xie Hejun looked at Aying in shock and astonishment, and then his eyes became warm.

"Sister, I have a pot of good tea and some delicious snacks. Would you mind coming over and having a seat?" Ah Ying asked brightly, blinking her eyes.

Xie Hejun nodded warmly and firmly, "Okay," as if he was looking at an old friend he had never met before. From the look in her eyes just now, Xie Hejun was sure that Aying might know something, but she said nothing, and it seemed like she had said everything. For the first time, someone noticed that his marriage, which he had struggled to support for more than ten years, was not easy, and it turned out that the couple was the daughter of a gambler whom he had just met for a few days?

Ah Ying took Xie Hejun's arm and said affectionately, "Sister, Ah Ying, do you mind this?"

Xie Hejun hadn't been so intimate with his "family" for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh: "How could this be."

"I have a brother who really loves me very much. When I was a child, I liked to hold my brother's arm like this. At that time, I was really happy..." When she said this, you can see that Aying was immersed in happiness.

Xie Hejun asked in confusion: "Where is he now?"

Ah Ying's eyes turned red in an instant, "I was sold out by my father."

Ah Ying said it so lightly, as if eating or drinking water, but Xie Hejun felt as if he was stabbed by an ice cone, and even his words trembled, "Have you looked for him?"

Ah Ying shrugged, holding Xie Hejun's arm tighter, and shook her head calmly, "Before I had the chance to look for him, he was sold out by my father."

Xie Hejun: ...

At this moment, Xie Hejun only felt a blockage in his throat, and it seemed that whatever he said would be powerless and futile.

"It's okay. I have met such a good family. He must be living strong and waiting for me somewhere!" Huo Aying spoke to himself with great determination.

For the first time, Xie Hejun took the initiative to shake Ah Ying's hand and said with strength and warmth: "He must be waiting for you too."

Ah Ying suppressed the surging bitterness, not letting the tears flow, nodded and smiled.

She didn't tell anyone about her brother, nor could she say that she was already so shameful. If her brother showed up again, wouldn't that bring him death? No, absolutely not. It didn't matter if she was cautious and treading on thin ice. As long as her brother lived a safe and sound life, everything would be worth it...

After entering the tent, Xie Hejun realized that the things prepared in the tent were all his favorites. He didn't know how long Ah Ying had been asking around before finding out about this. "Did you prepare all these?"

Ah Ying nodded playfully, "Then we must have help!"

Xie Hejun put down his guard and sat down. He picked up a cup of fragrant orange and red date tea, took a small sip, and suddenly felt his heart sweetened.

"Is it delicious?" Aying smiled sweetly.

Xie Hejun nodded, "Very sweet, just as sweet as you."

Ah Ying looked at Xie Hejun with satisfaction, "Sister, someone wants to talk to you."

Xie Hejun: ???

Ah Ying stood up and said soothingly, "Sister, wait a moment."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the tent.

Xie Chengyi stood beside him with a solemn look.

Ah Ying frowned and walked towards Xie Chengyi, whispering, "Speak more tactfully!"

Xie Chengyi frowned and nodded reluctantly. Is she your sister or my sister?
"Remember to smile first. You look so serious as if you are carrying out military duties. Who wouldn't be afraid? Smile, remember to smile!" Ah Ying was so anxious. How could a heart-to-heart talk sound like a negotiation?

The reason for the outing was not that Xie Chengyi was in the mood for it on a whim. There were too many spies in the Marquis' Mansion. If something went wrong, not only would the rumors spread out, but he also joined forces with A Ying and asked her to ask the eldest sister to talk to him alone.

Xie Chengyi walked to the door of the tent, paused slightly, and couldn't help but adjust his mood. He curled the corners of his mouth unnaturally, and his facial muscles were twitching. He was a rough man who was decisive and ruthless, so how could he have the experience of dealing with family matters? But after thinking about Aying's instructions, he endured it and lifted the curtain.

"Sister..."

When Xie Hejun looked up, he saw his brother, who usually had a stern expression, walking in with a slightly softer expression.

"You?" Xie Hejun had a bad feeling in his heart.

Xie Chengyi lowered his voice and said, "Jun Ting sent a letter saying something happened in the palace..."
