Chapter 389 I will treat Ah Ying well for the rest of my life
Not long after, Ning Changge brought Zhu Liuying and Laicai back to the courtyard.
In the small courtyard, Grandma Li sat hunched on a bamboo chair, squinting her wrinkled and cloudy eyes and looking towards the gate of the courtyard. She seemed to be basking in the sun, or waiting for her granddaughter to come back.
Zhu Liuying let go of Ning Changge's arm, walked happily to Grandma Li, and hugged her skinny arm affectionately.
"Mother-in-law, my brother and I are back!"
Laicai's big yellow dog left Ning Changge and the others at the village gate and ran back home alone.
Ning Changge glanced at Laicai, who was lying at Grandma Li's feet, wagging his tail and barking loudly from time to time. For some reason, he wanted to seal its mouth.
However, thinking of how hard it had just worked for Sohu, Ning Changge put the idea out of his mind and instead followed Aying in calling out "Hello, mother-in-law" in the same affectionate manner.
Grandma Li nodded kindly, "Fairy Ning, you too."
After saying that, Grandma Li turned to look at Zhu Liuying and said, "Go get a chair for the Immortal Master to sit on."
Ning Changge waved her hand and smiled, "No need, mother-in-law, I'll leave after I send Aying back safely..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Liuying had already brought him a bamboo chair, and her clear and hearty laughter could be heard from under the fence:
"We are all family from now on, why are you still being polite to Ying? Come and sit down!"
At this time, Grandma Li's amiable voice rang in my ears: "Please sit down, Immortal Ning. I have something to talk to you about."
Ning Changge did not refuse and sat down on the bamboo chair, with her hands naturally resting on her knees: "I wonder what mother-in-law wants to talk to me about?"
Grandma Li looked at Zhu Liuying who was standing beside her. Although Ah Ying was wearing a veil and her face could not be seen, she knew that her granddaughter had grown up, and it was not an exaggeration to say that she was absolutely beautiful.
If she didn't have silver hair, matchmakers would have knocked down her door long ago.
Ning Changge smiled slightly: "Mother-in-law, just tell me what you want to talk about. Don't worry about it."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Li shifted her gaze to Ning Changge. The young man was handsome and had a noble temperament. She had never seen a true immortal in her life, but now she might have seen one.
Although he was so handsome and came from the Qingyun Immortal Sect, after all, all parents in the world could be pitied, so Grandma Li spoke up.
"Aying told me that you will take her back to Qingyun Immortal Sect in a while. Is that true?"
Ning Changge nodded slightly, "That's true. Mother-in-law suddenly brought up this because she doesn't want her to go?"
Grandma Li shook her head. "Aying has been looked at with strange eyes since she was a child. I am very happy that she can live a good life now."
Ning Changge was a little confused: "What about you, mother-in-law?"
Grandma Li stared at him and said in a deep voice: "Although you look like a good person, I am still a little worried."
Ning Changge blinked: "So, mother-in-law is afraid that I am just in a whim, or that I am greedy for her beauty and worried that Aying will suffer?"
Grandma Li shook her head and smiled, "I'm afraid you'll suffer a loss."
Ning Changge smiled and said, "Why should I suffer a loss? Ah Ying is my fourth apprentice sister who has not yet married into the family. As the eldest apprentice brother, it is only natural for me to treat her well."
Grandma Li also smiled and said, "Although my granddaughter is very beautiful, she is still far inferior to you."
"what?"
Ning Changge was a little confused, but at this moment he heard the shy voice of a young girl.
“Mother-in-law——!”
Zhu Liuying stamped her feet in shame, "What are you talking about?! Brother, don't talk to mother-in-law anymore, she only knows how to talk nonsense."
As she spoke, she reached out to pull Ning Changge up from the chair.
Ning Changge smiled and patted Zhu Liuying's soft hands, signaling her to let go: "You have already said that your mother-in-law is talking nonsense, so the virtuous Aying should not take it too seriously."
He finally understood what Grandma Li meant by "I'm afraid you'll suffer a loss":
You think you are a hunter, but perhaps in the eyes of others, you are just a little sheep in her eyes, waiting to be eaten by her.
"This old woman must be joking. After spending the past few days with Liuying, she seems very normal. She fits my idea of a junior sister who loves her senior brother very well."
Ning Changge felt a little doubtful at this moment.
Zhu Liuying seemed to be afraid that Ning Changge had heard it, and hurriedly said, "Brother, don't listen to what mother-in-law says. Ah...Aying is not that kind of person."
After hearing this, Grandma Li smiled softly, but she didn't say anything this time.
Ah Ying watched her granddaughter grow up, how could she not know what kind of personality she had? Forget it, I am old now, just let her be happy.
Zhu Liuying glared at her in dissatisfaction, "Mother-in-law, you still dare to laugh? It's all your fault!"
Grandma Li sighed, "I'm old now, and even my granddaughter despises me."
Zhu Liuying stamped her feet: "Oh! Mother-in-law, you are so annoying, you know I didn't mean that."
Ning Changge interrupted and said, "Alright, alright, stop arguing. Ah Ying, I believe what you said. Mother-in-law is joking."
But although he said this, Ning Changge still secretly kept a secret in his heart.
There's nothing I can do. The original novel is a female-oriented novel, and girls' thoughts are too complicated.
After saying that, Ning Changge turned his gaze to the white-haired old lady in front of him and said softly, "Grandma, let's talk about the topic just now."
Grandma Li said, "I believe you must have heard some rumors about Aying. I want to tell you that those rumors are true."
"Aying is destined to be a star of misfortune. After you take her back, I am afraid that once your sect leader finds out, he will treat her as a monster and kill her."
Ning Changge stood up and walked in front of her. He squatted down and placed his palm on the back of his mother-in-law's hand. He did not say any extravagant oaths, but said in a very sincere tone:
"I am Aying's senior brother. Protecting her is my lifelong responsibility."
Grandma Li raised her other wrinkled hand and gently touched Ning Changge's head: "You have to treat her well for the rest of your life."
Ning Changge said: "As the eldest brother, of course I have to be nice to my junior sister, so don't worry, mother-in-law."
Grandma Li nodded. She didn't say much, just a simple "I believe you."
At the same time, he said in his heart: "I believe you will be a good man worthy of trust."
Li Qiuxiang did not say the latter sentence. There was still some time before her departure, and it was a little early to say it. She still needed to observe Ning Changge for a while.
Ning Changge showed a sincere smile on his face: "Thank you for your trust!"
After saying this, Ning Changge sat back on the bamboo chair, as if he suddenly thought of something, and he said again:
"By the way, mother-in-law, I will also bring Aying's sister, Miss Qingyu, back to the sect."
Grandma Li was very surprised and asked, "You still want to take Ah Yu back with you?"
Ning Changge nodded, and he expressed the term "the destined heroine" in another way:
"Aying's fate is extremely precious. I think her sister must be very special as well. They are both rare cultivation geniuses. We can't waste their talents. Mother-in-law, you should have no objection, right?"
Ning Changge was a little panicked because someone else's two precious granddaughters were taken away at once.
Grandma Li shook her head and said, "I have no objection, but you can take A-Ying back with you, but you can't take A-Yu with you."
Ning Changge was puzzled and asked, "Mother-in-law, didn't you just say you had no objection? Why don't you let me take care of the child now?"
Grandma Li did not reply to him, but asked a very strange but also normal question:
"Ning Xianren, don't you have any doubts in your heart? A Ying's surname is Zhu, and A Yu's surname is Wei?"
