Chapter 890 Ah 7's Concerns
"Qiu Rong, why are you here?" Xu Dingchun hurriedly took two steps forward, with his usual, somewhat flattering smile on his face, trying to dilute the somewhat tense atmosphere.
"Madam, Miss," Ah Qi saluted hurriedly, his voice full of obvious panic. Because he was holding a soft little person in his arms, his movements seemed even more flustered, and he almost tripped over his own feet.
"Am I wrong?" Jing Qiurong continued to persuade gently. At the same time, she reached out her hand very naturally, smoothly took her daughter from Ah Qi's stiff arms, and gently patted her. "This is such a groundless worry, a worry you made up out of thin air. Why force it on yourself? It's just torturing yourself."
"Just tell me!" Xu Dingchun saw this and patted Ah Qi's strong shoulders. He said firmly, "Do you think Chun Tao from the Princess's Courtyard is okay? She's a good girl, right?"
Seeing Ah Qi still keeping silent with her lips tightly pursed and her brows tightly furrowed, Jing Chunxi couldn't help but feel a little angry and blurted out: "Or do you actually despise her because she is a maid and unworthy of your current status? Don't—"
"I don't mind!" Ah Qi interrupted hurriedly, and before he finished speaking, he suddenly lowered his head, as if he was hurt by these words.
Before Jing Chunxi could even utter the word "regret", he was interrupted by him eagerly.
Ah Qi suddenly turned his head away and faced them sideways, obviously not wanting them to see the struggle and pain on his face.
His voice deepened, carrying an indelible bitterness: "I'm afraid... afraid of wronging her. Someone like me..." His fingers unconsciously clenched the corner of his clothes tightly, so tightly that his knuckles turned slightly white.
During the trip to Jiujiang and Jian'an County, when they were on the same ship, he had already silently seen what a good girl Chuntao was - smart and capable, hardworking, kind and considerate.
Although he often preaches to Tangshuang and Xiaoman, every word he says is reasonable and for their own good.
Although her appearance was not stunningly beautiful, she was pretty and decent, with curved eyebrows and eyes when she smiled. It was more than enough for him, who was already quite old and from an ordinary family, especially for a man with hands stained with countless blood on the battlefield. He was only grateful in his heart, how could he dare to feel any disgust?
But every time in the dead of night, the tragic image of his mother, beaten all over and dying by his alcoholic father, always appeared clearly before his eyes.
His father's drunken, bloodshot and violent face, and his crazy roar still stubbornly lingered in his deepest nightmares.
Every time he was woken up from his sleep, he was covered in cold sweat.
He was extremely scared, afraid that he had the same blood as that man in his bones, afraid that the potential violence would break free at any time, afraid that he would repeat that terrible mistake and ruin the life of a good girl.
"Otherwise," seeing his expression seemed to relax, Jing Chunxi suddenly felt that this might be a promising idea, so he softened his voice and suggested, "Let me talk to Chuntao about this first... and hear what she thinks?"
"No," Ah Qi suddenly raised his head, a complex look of pain and determination flashing in his eyes. His tone was extremely firm, "Princess, I dare not trouble you. I will speak for myself. I...I want to confess to her in person. Whether it is good or bad, I should face it myself."
The three of them exchanged a knowing look, and immediately understood in their hearts - Ah Qi was not indifferent to Chun Tao, on the contrary, he was probably already deeply in love with her, which was why he was thinking so much and worrying about the gains and losses, fearing that any bad thing on his part would tarnish her.
Since the man is in love and the woman is willing to marry, and they both like each other, then this marriage has great potential.
"That's easy,"
Jing Qiurong's brows relaxed, her smile warm, and she made the final decision, "It just so happens that tomorrow the mansion needs to buy some high-quality goods to send to the General's Mansion, and the trivial matters of counting and delivering them need someone to be careful. You can go with her tomorrow, so that we can talk on the way."
As she spoke, she turned to Jing Chunxi beside her, her smile deepening as she teased, "Come to think of it, that clueless boy Ayi also blushed a few days ago and mustered up the courage to ask me to marry Tang Shuang. As her mistress, you should give Tang Shuang some pointers and see if you can get that little girl who only cares about eating to understand my sincerity."
"Puff!" Jing Chunxi imagined Tang Shuang's ignorant and greedy look and Ayi's honest and anxious expression, and immediately couldn't help laughing. The corners of his eyes and eyebrows were stained with a bright and understanding smile: "I know, mother, I'll take care of it."
Who in the mansion doesn’t know Ayi’s little thoughts about Tang Shuang?
One became the kitchen manager, but he looked forward to that figure coming to "ask" for food every day, and he kept thinking of all kinds of novel and delicious food waiting for her to come;
The other one was a greedy girl who was completely focused on food. She was always attracted by delicious food. After eating to her satisfaction and finishing the meal, she wiped her mouth and ran away. She didn't even think about romance or love at all.
Ever since the Rong Enbo Mansion was established and Ayi was promoted to the head chef of the kitchen, these two people, one is greedy and the other loves to feed, one is ignorant and the other is protective, really live up to the saying that they are a pair of happy enemies made in heaven.
