Chapter 98 Something is wrong
Huo Aying walked out of Youfeng Courtyard in a daze with his mind in a mess.
The cool breeze that penetrated her heart gradually brought Ah Ying back to her senses.
"Madam Shen." Aying looked solemn.
Nanny Shen, who was standing at the side, quickly responded, "Miss, please give your orders."
"Make some sobering soup for my brother." Aying said calmly.
Nanny Shen said quickly, "Yes."
After saying that, Aying asked Su Jian to accompany her out.
"Where are we going, girl?" Uncle Liang asked.
"Xiangyu Tavern."
In a short while, Aying arrived at the long street.
"Miss, Miss Xiangyu is at the innermost part." Uncle Liang pointed in the direction.
Ah Ying nodded, "Okay, Uncle Liang, please wait here first."
After getting off the carriage, Ah Ying walked inside with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
The rough and dull skin, the straightforward and unrefined voice, the careless jokes, the unkempt appearance, the dilapidated and even somewhat sticky and greasy shops and floors, all show the makeshift and survival of the people who live here.
Aying is more familiar with such places than anyone else.
From a distance, Aying saw Xiangyu squatting at the door getting wine. Different from the refreshing and gorgeous look when they first met, this smile was more of a flattering one.
Xiang Yugang handed a pot of wine to the guest and said warmly, "Come again next time!"
When I turned around, I accidentally saw Aying, who seemed to be aloof from the world and independent.
The smile on Xiangyu's face froze, and she wiped it on her apron unnaturally, subconsciously tidied up her scattered hair, and then raised her head, "You're here?"
Ah Ying said lightly: "If Sister Xiangyu is free, we can talk again."
Then, he naturally walked into the pub.
I have to admit, this tavern is really cramped. Apart from a waiter helping out, it really can't accommodate too many people.
After taking a closer look, Su Jian whispered, "This Miss Xiangyu is a capable person."
Ah Ying smiled awkwardly. If a woman meets the right person, which woman would be willing to show up in public?
Therefore, Ah Ying, who was stroking the wine jar, inexplicably felt more favorable towards Sister Xiangyu.
After Xiangyu poured the last spoonful of wine, she quickly locked the door.
He looked at Ah Ying with some doubt and asked tentatively, "Is there something wrong?"
Ah Ying smiled calmly and said, "I'm fine. I just came to see you."
Xiangyu said happily but sadly: "I guess there won't be many chances in the future..."
Ah Ying couldn't help but ask: "What do you mean?"
Xiangyu smiled awkwardly, "Didn't your brother tell you?"
"What?" Ah Ying was indeed a little surprised.
"Your brother feels that he is not suitable for me." When Xiangyu said this, she bit her nails tightly and didn't even dare to raise her head.
Ah Ying was slightly surprised, "I think you are pretty good, sister."
Xiangyu gained some confidence from Ah Ying's words, "Forget it, if it's not suitable, then it's not suitable. I don't want to force it."
But Ah Ying didn't think so, and asked anxiously: "What's wrong with that? Sister, don't listen to my brother's nonsense!"
Xiangyu quickly suppressed Aying who was getting increasingly emotional, "Aying, Aying, I am not worthy of your brother." Aying paused, looked at Xiangyu with red eyes, and his heart softened.
"I don't know what happened to your brother. He suddenly broke off relations with me a few days ago, saying that he shouldn't have looked for me in the first place and he didn't want to delay my happiness, so I didn't have to wait for him." Xiangyu said with some sadness.
Ah Ying felt a chill on his face. Wasn't this just a perfunctory response?
"I'm sorry, Sister Xiangyu, I made you feel uncomfortable." Aying said apologetically.
Xiangyu was more open-minded. "This was a choice made by both of us. There's nothing wrong with it. Besides, even if he is sorry, it's your brother's business. It has nothing to do with you."
Seeing Xiangyu being so reasonable, Aying felt even more regretful in her heart. If Xiangyu became her sister-in-law, she would definitely be a good person.
persevering...
"Then Aying will not disturb Sister Xiangyu." Now that he knew the reason, there was no reason to stay any longer.
Xiangyu looked relaxed and said straightforwardly, "Although we have only met once, I think we have a good relationship. If Ah Ying doesn't mind, you can come anytime in the future."
Ah Ying also smiled, "Okay! Ah Ying will definitely come again!"
Just as Ah Ying turned around, Xiangyu thought for a while and called her, "Ah Ying!"
Ah Ying was stunned, "Huh?"
Doubt gradually appeared in Xiangyu's eyes. She moved closer to Aying and asked solemnly, "What did your brother do in the past?"
Ah Ying was shocked, but tried not to show it, "Why did Sister Xiangyu ask that?"
"That's right. Your brother once said in a dream, 'Kill Qingye.' I thought it was just a dream, but after your brother woke up, I just asked him with a smile, and your brother's emotions and performance became very intense. I - always felt that something was not right." Xiangyu glanced at Aying's face.
Ah Ying was stunned at first, but then she smiled and said, "It must be a dream. It's okay, don't think too much about it."
Hearing Ah Ying say this, Xiangyu felt relieved and nodded, "Okay, I'm glad you're okay."
But when Ah Ying left the house, she felt as if a heavy stone was weighing on her heart, and she suddenly had questions, "What happened to my brother?"
After returning to the Marquis' Mansion with deep anxiety, Xie Chengyi came over as soon as he sat down.
"Why do you look so bad?" Xie Chengyi put down the lunch box and touched Aying's forehead worriedly.
Ah Ying smiled tiredly, "It's okay, why did you come here at this time?"
Xie Chengyi looked at Ah Ying and said, "Your brother quit his job."
Zhan Li quickly said, "Mr. Shen may not be used to this job and had some disputes with others."
Zhan Li's words were vague, but Ah Ying could guess what was going on. Looking at Xie Chengyi's expression, she was afraid that her brother had started the trouble. Her already chaotic thoughts made her even more depressed, so she apologized to Xie Chengyi, "I'm sorry, I made things difficult for you..."
Xie Chengyi calmed down Ah Ying and said, "What are you talking about? If you don't want to work, don't do it. You have nothing to do to let me down. When he recovers, I'll find someone to arrange a job for him."
Faced with Xie Chengyi's sincerity, A Ying really felt that her brother was a little willful this time, and she secretly made up her mind to bring her brother back to normal life.
"Do you need me to go talk to him?" Xie Chengyi asked respectfully.
Ah Ying immediately shook his head, "No need! I can handle it!"
Seeing Ah Ying's resistance, Xie Chengyi did not force it, "Okay."
Then, he said to Ah Ying, "Here are the patterns of all the clothing shops and jewelry stores in the capital. I have already told you, if you like any clothes or jewelry, just go ahead and choose them, don't think about anything else."
Ah Ying was stunned, then he realized that maybe he knew about Liu Wutong's dilemma in the morning?
At that moment, I felt that I had someone to rely on.
"Miss, the prince treats you so well." Su Jian looked at the clothing and jewelry patterns sent by the prince and felt happy for the girl.
Ah Ying smiled deeply, "Yeah."
In this case, she couldn't do anything that would hinder her, so she told Su Jian, "Accompany me to Youfeng Courtyard tomorrow morning. There's no need to call for a carriage. Also, prepare two sets of neat clothes."
She wanted to see what her brother did all day!
