Chapter 56 I don't want to do anything that makes me lose face
Ever since Ah Ying finished teasing him, Xie Chengyi had no interest in anything else. Even Xie Chengfeng couldn't help but avoid the subsequent physical training.

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, it was Xie Chengyi who tossed and turned at night.

Xie Chengyi, who seemed to be half asleep, vaguely recalled that night.

After waking up from the dream, Xie Chengyi continued to despise himself. He had abstained from sex for ten years, but was bewitched by a sudden passion. Wouldn't he just sneer at himself, thinking that he was really idle?

But the more he despised himself, the more Xie Chengyi could not deny that he was out of control and had completely lost all self-control towards this woman, Aying.

Xie Chengyi, ah, Xie Chengyi, I have never been like you. It was just a one-night stand. Do you still keep it in mind?
It's ridiculous. It's really ridiculous.

After getting up, Xie Chengyi called Zhan Li, "Prepare water, I want to take a bath."

Zhan Li looked at the cool night sky, then looked at himself wrapped tightly in clothes, and was confused. Why did his master get hotter after sleeping all night?

After finally preparing the water, Zhan Li fell asleep again leaning against the door.

Xie Chengyi sat in the water with a solemn expression on his face, his muscular upper arms resting on the edge of the tub, his eyes looking at something unknown...

After the water cooled down, Xie Chengyi walked out wrapped in a loose brocade robe.

Zhan Li is still sleeping.

Xie Chengyi glanced at him and kicked Zhan Li's foot mischievously.

“Ah—ah—ah—” Zhan Li felt a powerless feeling of falling into an abyss in a daze. He tripped over his left and right feet and fell to the ground without even opening his eyes.

"Ouch!" Zhan Li, who was grimacing in pain, seemed to see the figure of the prince in a trance. He wanted to shout something, but his body twitched in pain.

Xie Chengyi unknowingly walked to the bench where he accidentally fell asleep that night.

I remember that day, Ah Ying was still comforting herself. Thinking of this, perhaps Xie Chengyi didn't realize that the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise...

***
Just after the Si hour, Mother Wang from Songhuayuan walked in quickly with a serious look on her face.

"Madam, someone is coming from Qingzhou."

Guan Yulan was still confused and asked, "Who?"

"Guan Yue and Guan Feng from my uncle's family in Qingzhou have arrived at the door with their two cousins!" Mother Wang was so anxious that her voice was trembling. The Guan family from her mother's family in Qingzhou are two brothers. They have been relying on the prosperity of the Marquis' Mansion to run a small business for many years. They are not very capable, but they are very ambitious. Guan Yulan had clearly stated before that they could not use the name of the Marquis' Mansion. If they caused trouble, the Marquis' Mansion would not cover it up, so the two brothers did not become blood-sucking relatives of the officials.

But what does it mean to bring your niece over here out of the blue?
At the door, the carriage slowly stopped.

Guan family's eldest wife Yue Qiuyan got off the car first. Seeing the magnificent plaque of "Marquis Dingyang Mansion", she sighed, "It's still a magnificent mansion!"

Second Madam Feng Nanping felt somewhat unwell from sitting in the carriage. After she was helped down tremblingly, she muttered, "I said we should take two carriages, but you insisted on taking one. How much money can you save?"

Before Guan Shuer, who was sitting at the first lady's knees, could speak, Guan Mengzhu, the daughter of the second lady Feng Nanping, rubbed her waist and shouted, "Quick, quick, quick! Let me get off first! My waist is almost broken from sitting like this!"

Guan Shule was the legitimate daughter after all, so she behaved well and stood quietly behind her mother.

"Yulan has always thought that we are wasting money. Do you still want to hire two carriages? Why not just bring all the maids and old women in the mansion?" Yue Qiuyan didn't want to come with Feng Nanping. If the master hadn't said that it was presumptuous of her to come here, and if she didn't restrain herself and be sensible, she was afraid that Yulan would be angry and cut off Qingzhou's source of livelihood. Otherwise, she didn't want to come with Feng Nanping, who was so ignorant.

Feng Nanping was dissatisfied with being criticized, and she knew that she was not as familiar with the Marquisate as Yue Qiuyan, so she could only swallow her anger and said weakly: "That's what I said, why are you so anxious?"

Yue Qiuyan was so upset that she didn't want to talk to her anymore. "Hurry up and go in. You're here unexpectedly. Who knows what kind of scolding you'll get!"

Feng Nanping was very righteous about this matter. She glared at him and said in dissatisfaction, "Sister-in-law, this is originally Yulan's fault. People always say that the maternal uncle is more important. If Yulan wants to support her maternal family in Qingzhou, why doesn't she come to us? Aren't Shuer and Mengzhu the flesh and blood of her brothers? Good guy! I don't know where a distant niece came from. How close can someone who can't even be included in our family tree be? She was able to enter the palace and get such a big benefit. Why? We are so polite to come here. According to what the neighbors say, we should block her from going home and let her know what the maternal family is and what it means to be a traitor."

The more Feng Nanping talked, the angrier she became. She had been counting on Guan Yulan to find a good family for Meng Zhu, but now someone else had gotten there first. How could she not be angry?
At this time, Liu Wutong was being supported by Qiao'er as she walked out of the main gate.

Yue Qiuyan was still the sharp-eyed one. In an instant, her face brightened and she said, "Hello, Madam!"

Feng Nanping frowned. She's just a concubine, what's the big deal?

Liu Wutong pretended to be enthusiastic and said, "It's the two Madams Guan!"

Feng Nanping, however, always looked at Liu Wutong coldly. In her opinion, a wife is a wife and should be fearless of her dignity, and a concubine is a concubine and should behave herself humbly. She is not like Yue Qiuyan who gives face to everyone.

Liu Wutong did not care. "I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the eldest and second girls have grown up to be so beautiful. Even Aying can get the favor of King Rui. Our two girls are talented and beautiful, and they will definitely help your aunt find a noble young man..."

Yue Qiuyan's eyes brightened up for a moment, "Prince Rui???" If she could find a son-in-law as noble as Prince Rui, not to mention Guan Yulan, even Xie Chengyi would have to support her!
Feng Nanping smiled coldly, "What kind of distant niece is this? How could Madam care so much about her?" Guan Mengzhu couldn't help but murmured, "Isn't Auntie partial to me?"

Looking at the subtle expressions of these people, Liu Wutong couldn't help but feel secretly relieved. Now, Guan Yulan must have stirred up a hornet's nest...

As the carriage in the distance was about to stop, Liu Wutong raised her head with a look of anticipation, "Look, that's our future Princess Rui - Huo Aying..."

Su Jian accidentally looked up ahead and was instantly petrified on the spot. It was broken...

"Miss." Su Jian looked at Aying nervously.

Ah Ying looked at Su Jian's expression and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Su Jian approached A Ying, glanced at the people at the door, and whispered, "The Guan family of Qingzhou, the madam's family."

"Come at this time?" Aying was suspicious.

Looking at Liu Wutong's expression again, Ah Ying had a vague idea, "It seems that someone is annoyed."

When enemies come, we will stop them; when water comes, we will block it with earth. Once they come, we will deal with them.

With a proper smile, Aying slowly walked towards the door.

As Huo Aying's face got closer and closer, Yue Qiuyan couldn't help but gasp. This girl was in her prime, only about sixteen or seventeen years old, but she was already slim and graceful, with skin as white as snow and a beautiful face. She was truly a beauty that could captivate the whole city.

Looking at my own daughter again, I feel that she looks like a beautiful girl from a small family.

Feng Nanping's eyes were full of hostility. This woman was too attractive...

"Madam." Ah Ying bowed slightly.

Afterwards, he bowed respectfully to Yue Qiuyan and Feng Nanping and said, "A Ying greets Madam Guan Da and Madam Guan Er."

Yue Qiuyan's face was not looking good anymore, and she said politely, "I haven't seen him very often."

Feng Nanping raised her head slightly and sneered arrogantly: "This niece who came out of nowhere is more ostentatious than the regular nieces!"

Facing the sarcasm and ridicule of the two wives of the Guan family and Liu Wutong's watching, Ah Ying was not angry, but just smiled faintly, "Madams, are you planning to put on a show in front of the Marquis's mansion?"

Yue Qiuyan looked around and found that some people were already gathering here.

"Aying, what you said is not right. After all, he is your elder and you should respect him!" Liu Wutong was so angry at Aying a few days ago that she wanted to scratch the wall. Now that she got the chance, she hurried to fan the flames.

Feng Nanping was provoked by Liu Wutong's words and said bluntly: "That's right! He is so arrogant at such a young age. What will happen if he really climbs up the social ladder???"

Ah Ying stared at Feng Nanping and took two steps forward.

Feng Nanping became alert instantly, "What do you want to do? I'm telling you, I'm not someone you can easily mess with!"

Ah Ying raised her eyebrows and looked at Feng Nanping very coldly. She leaned closer and said without telling her emotions, "Second Madam, are you planning to establish Sister Mengzhu's image in the capital like this?"

As more and more people came over to watch the fun, Feng Nanping's face suddenly turned red. It didn't matter if she lost her temper, but if she tried to show off her authority as soon as she arrived in the capital, she was afraid that if it got out, it would ruin her daughter's reputation. Besides, she wouldn't be able to explain to Yulan.

Ah Ying immediately returned to her original position and smiled faintly, "Madam and the sisters must be tired from the journey, Ah Ying will not bother you any more."

After saying that, he walked inside.

Wouldn't it be cheap of you to argue with me at the door like this?

Ah Ying didn't bother to argue with them, and now, she didn't want to waste her energy on it.

Yue Qiuyan was stunned immediately.

Feng Nanping exploded instantly, "What kind of attitude is this?"

Liu Wutong, on the other hand, looked like she was enjoying the show.

You must read it frequently, don't just let it sit there, it's really unbearable for those who have failed.
