Chapter 67 Love Deeply (Please Collect)
Xie Chongkun was already panicking and short of breath. Even if Guan Yulan wanted to expel Liu Wutong from the Marquis' Mansion, she had to consider the blow to the Marquis. Besides, these things could not be brought up in the open, so she had to send someone to comfort Meng Zhu and Feng Nanping first.
At the same time, Wang Changyue was also sent to keep a close watch on Xie Chengfeng. In fact, there was no need to keep a close watch on him, as Xie Chengfeng's back was covered in blood from the beating and he was only gasping for breath.
North Courtyard, Cui Pavilion.
Guan Mengzhu curled up with empty eyes.
Feng Nanping said worriedly, "Mengzhu, don't be afraid. I will let your aunt punish that prodigal son!"
Hearing this, Guan Mengzhu raised her eyes slowly.
"Mom, tomorrow you go to find your aunt." Guan Mengzhu said weakly.
Feng Nanping nodded repeatedly, "I'll go find it!"
"Plead for Xie Chengfeng..." Guan Mengzhu murmured.
Feng Nanping thought she had heard it wrongly, "What?"
Guan Mengzhu's eyes gradually gathered, "Who can I marry as my principal wife in my current poor body? Although Xie Chengfeng is a scoundrel, he is the only male heir in his maternal family. Isn't he better than the prince of the marquisate who is losing money now? I am not like my aunt. I can't be a housekeeper who suffers first and then enjoys the sweetness."
Feng Nanping looked at her daughter in fear, as if she didn't recognize her. "Did you know that the letter was written by Xie Chengfeng?"
Guan Mengzhu closed her eyes and said slowly: "Is it still useful to say this?"
On the other side, Guan Shule was also talking with Yue Qiuyan at night.
"Have all the relevant people been dealt with?" Guan Shuerning asked.
Yue Qiuyan nodded and said, "Don't worry, they are all insignificant people. No one cares if they come in or out of the mansion. This time, we borrowed Huo Aying's hand to deal with Meng Zhu and Xie Chengfeng, which can be regarded as our gain."
Guan Shuer said softly: "There is still a long way to go."

When Xie Chengyi was sending Ah Ying back, he saw that Ah Ying was in a daze and couldn't help feeling distressed.
As soon as he touched Ah Ying, she trembled all over and immediately said in shock: "Ah!"
Xie Chengyi then realized that Ah Ying was frightened, and quickly put his arm around her shoulders, comforting her: "It's okay, Ah Ying, it's okay, don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."
After dealing with Xie Chengfeng's slander with all her heart, Ah Ying was now completely exhausted. She pulled at the corner of Xie Chengyi's clothes weakly and said groggily, "I can't walk anymore."
Xie Chengyi felt a pain in his heart, and he picked up the haggard and weak A Ying and whispered to the uneasy A Ying: "It's okay, I'll take you back."
Ah Ying huddled in Xie Chengyi's arms, feeling a little scared. Today's events were not without loopholes. Even if someone was a little more cruel, she would have a hard time staying in this world. However, Xie Chengyi's breath gradually calmed her impatience.
Along the way, Xie Chengyi's whispers, "It's okay, don't be afraid," gradually made Aying let down her guard.
Xie Chengyi held the silent Ah Ying in his arms and walked towards Songheyuan. Along the way, he walked very slowly and steadily...
Ten years ago, Xie Chengyi, who had sealed his love for men and women, rushed to the battlefield.
He thought that he would never be tempted again in his life, and even when he was drinking with Jiang Zexi and Su Han, he never crossed the line.
But the woman in front of him was like a vine, which had quietly entangled his heart without him knowing when. It made him worry, made him miss her, made him hate her to the core, but also made it difficult for him to ignore her.
I had originally thought of giving Ah Ying a warning today, asking him how he could use his name to interfere in the affairs of the Su Jian Ancestral Hall. How would his colleagues, who had always thought he was honest and selfless, look at him? But when I looked down and saw Ah Ying in my arms with a frown on her face, looking like she was about to break, I couldn't bear to say anything more.
That's it.
The moonlight was cool, the light and shadows were dim, and Xie Chengyi even hoped that this road would have no end...
Songheyuan.
The old lady hadn't slept yet, and her whole body was filled with unconcealable worry.
"Is Aying not back yet?" asked the old lady.
Nanny Su replied softly, "She should be back soon."
Just as he finished speaking, the sound of the door opening was heard.
Xie Chengyi carried Aying into Songheyuan and went straight to the side hall where Aying lived.
"What's wrong with the girl?" Su Jian came up to her with an anxious look on her face.
Xie Chengyi: "Maybe he was frightened. You should not sleep tonight and watch him carefully."
Su Jian nodded quickly, "Yes." He gently put Ah Ying on the bed. Xie Chengyi reached out and stroked the hair beside Ah Ying's ears. Such a woman is like the scorching sun and the bright moon. She makes people feel pleasantly surprised all the time, but also makes people miss her all the time...
"Young Master, the old lady wants you to come over here." Su Jian said solemnly.
Xie Chengyi was surprised, "Grandma is still awake?"
After walking across the corridor and turning to the main hall, Fang saw his grandmother holding Buddhist beads and resting with her eyes closed.
Before Xie Chengyi could speak, the old lady reached out her hand, and Nanny Su helped her up, "Is Ah Ying asleep?"
Xie Chengyi nodded, "Yes, I've already gone to bed."
"This child is brave and careful. If she hadn't asked Madam Su to pour the tea, you wouldn't be sitting here right now!" The grandmother's words were full of protection for Aying.
Xie Chengyi nodded and said, "Grandma is right."
"This Chengfeng is someone who needs to be disciplined. He has evil thoughts towards you today. That's unacceptable! Tomorrow I will ask your father to tie him up and take him to Hangzhou! He will never be able to enter the capital in this lifetime!" The old lady said angrily.
"Grandma, just take care of it." People with evil intentions must be taught a lesson. If this happened at the border, Xie Chengyi would have killed him with a sword long ago.
"Chengyi, since you came back to the capital, you have been busy with many things. Have you noticed that most of them revolve around your marriage? Tell me clearly what you think?" asked the grandmother solemnly.
Xie Chengyi looked at his grandmother and said, "My grandson is not planning to get married yet."
"Then why did you offend so many people?" the grandmother said sternly.
Xie Chengyi was completely speechless. Was this something he had provoked?
"What do you think of that girl from the Yao family?" The old lady decided to get to the bottom of it.
Xie Chengyi said sincerely: "Jinxian is a good girl, but I think it's still not appropriate for us to get married."
The old lady held the Buddhist beads and breathed a sigh of relief, "What about the two girls from the Guan family?"
Xie Chengyi didn't even think about it, "I just think of her as my sister."
The old lady turned to Ah Ying and asked, "What about Ah Ying?"
Xie Chengyi: …
"Do you like her?" The old lady whispered as she approached her eldest grandson.
Xie Chengyi looked at his grandmother with deep eyes, "Chengyi dare not lie to grandma, I like Ying."
The old lady was not surprised.
Continue: "Does Ying like you?"
Xie Chengyi was not sure about this.
"Are you aware of the gap between you two?" The old lady's expression became more and more cautious.
"Yes." How could Xie Chengyi not know? If it weren't for these stumbling blocks, he wouldn't have stopped moving forward.
"Grandma doesn't mean to pour cold water on you. Although Ying is a cold and arrogant girl who seems to be indifferent to everything, she is actually a sensitive child. If you are not ready to stop all the storms, then don't give her hope. If you want to walk hand in hand with her even if you encounter difficulties, then don't complain in the future. Do you understand?" The old lady taught earnestly.
Xie Chengyi felt ashamed, "Grandson understands."
"Okay, don't stay here any longer. Don't you have to go to the palace tomorrow? Go to bed early." The old lady patted her grandson on the shoulder.
Xie Chengyi nodded, "Yes."
After walking out of Songheyuan, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief.
"Madam, it seems that the prince really cares about Miss Aying." Madam Su sighed.
The old lady couldn't help but sigh, "Chengyi is different from his father. He values affection. I'm not surprised at all that he chose Ying."
Madam Su couldn't help but smile, "To be honest, sometimes, I think the prince and Miss Ying are a good match."
The old lady looked at Madam Su, and they smiled at each other, "You have sharp eyes. Compared with Ah Ying, Cheng Yi is like a straight birch tree. No matter how windy, frost, rain or snow it is, it is still very tough. But if it is too straight, it will lose some interest. Ah Ying is like a wild and blooming mountain flower. No matter how many flowers are fighting, it still has her brilliance and posture. These two people, growing together, are a beautiful and elegant scene."
Nanny Su couldn't help but sigh in admiration: "The old lady is right."
"However, these two need to get used to each other..." said the old lady dimly.
Grandmother: Give these two kids a push
