Chapter 2014: Ying Dong and Hua Xian


At this moment, both carriages were parked by the riverside to rest, and they planned to camp here for the night.

When Ying Dong approached, Shu Yu gestured to a large stone nearby, "Have a seat. What is it that you want to talk to me about?"

Ying Dong sat down, glanced at Ying Xi, who was staring at him, and then cleared his throat. He sat down firmly and waited for him to confess.

Ying Dong sighed and ignored her, turning to Shu Yu, "Miss, I'd like to ask for your permission for something."

"You've set your sights on someone?" Ying Xi couldn't wait and asked, "Do I know this person, and does she like you? Are the things in your bundles for her?"

Ying Dong, "..."

Shu Yu cleared her throat and slowly nodded, trying not to laugh, "Well, that's actually the question I wanted to ask."

Ying Dong rubbed his forehead and reluctantly said, "You both know her... Hua Xian."

"Who?" Shu Yu was taken aback, "Hua Xian?"

Ying Xi widened her eyes, "When did you two become interested in each other? Wait, does Hua Xian know about this?" Could it be that her brother had unilateral feelings?

Speaking of marriage, even Ying Dong felt a bit embarrassed. He whispered, "I've already confessed to Hua Xian. She... she said she would discuss it with Madam after I return."

"After you return?" Shu Yu raised an eyebrow, "So you expressed your feelings during this trip?"

"More or less."

Originally, Ying Dong and Hua Xian had limited interactions. One was the steward of the Lu family, busy with various matters in the front courtyard most of the time. The other was taking care of old Madam in the rear courtyard and rarely went to the front courtyard.

However, occasionally when Grandma Lu has matters to discuss, Hua Xian would go to Ying Dong for advice. So they did have some contact, but nothing more.

Ying Dong's impression of Hua Xian was that she was quiet, not talkative, diligent, patient, and had a lovely smile.

Hua Xian, on the other hand, had more of an admiration for Ying Dong.

Back when the Lu family celebrated their housewarming, County Princess Zhang came to cause trouble, and Ying Dong was the first to rush out to stop her. He had swiftly dealt with County Princess Zhang's subordinates, and his efficient and decisive actions had left a deep impression.

However, neither side had too much interaction, and if you really thought about it, there was just some favorable impression.

It wasn't until last year, at the end of the year, when Grandma Lu had to visit Changjin Prefecture and brought Ying Dong along, that Hua Xian joined as well.

Originally, Hua Xian wasn't supposed to come, but since everyone accompanying Grandma Lu were young men, having Hua Xian with her would be more convenient.

During more than a month of traveling together, Ying Dong and Hua Xian naturally had more contact.

Slowly, their relationship began to change subtly.

Later, when Grandma Lu's matters in Changjin Prefecture were finished, Hua Xian was going to return, but Ying Dong decided to stay and accompany Shu Yu's group on their journey.

The day before Hua Xian left, Ying Dong couldn't resist confessing his feelings to her.

Hua Xian considered it for a day, and on the day of departure, she told Ying Dong to come find her after he returned, and they would discuss it with Grandma Lu.

Hua Xian was a person by Grandma Lu's side, and her marriage naturally had to be decided by Grandma Lu.

Furthermore, Grandma Lu was the head of the Lu family, so once she agreed, it was basically a done deal."
