In order to ease her discomfort, she whispered to Meng Binghan beside her:
"I guess this must be Old Lady Yi. I have heard of Mr. Yi's name a long time ago, but Taiying was unable to return to Beijing. I hope Mr. Yi will not blame me."
These words were extremely infuriating, leaving no room for fault.
At least Meng Binghan felt very satisfied when hearing it.
It is exactly the same as the legendary 놊太.
놊Does everyone say he was a bandit in the mountains?
However, there was not a trace of banditry in him.
Combined with what he just said, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is a high-ranking official in the capital.
The more they got along, the more satisfied Meng Binghan became.
Originally, she was worried that Yi Taiying's bandit-like temperament would not match her granddaughter.
Now it seems that I was just overthinking it.
He doesn't have that vulgar temperament, but instead has the demeanor of a young man from a noble family.
Meng Binghan became more and more satisfied as he looked at it. Then he nodded to Yi Taiying and motioned him to sit aside.
"I've heard that Miss Fang and Old Lady Meng live together in the countryside. What a fate. Yi has also lived nearby before."
Yi Taiying was making small talk, obviously trying to get closer to Fang Yisi.
Fang Yisi naturally understood his intention and responded softly, "General Yi is joking."
After she finished speaking, she didn't know what to say for a moment.
This was her first time talking to Yi Taiying at such a close distance, and she couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
After all, this is the capital, and any caution will lead to criticism.
Yi Taiying naturally had the same concerns, so he came today under the pretext of visiting Fang Jinghong.
Before the two of them got engaged, he would never do anything to ruin Fang Yisi's reputation.
Even though she would marry him in the end, he wanted her to marry him honestly and happily.
Thinking of this, Yi Taiying changed the subject:
"I just received an invitation from the Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion today. I will go to the mansion for a gathering tomorrow. I wonder if Sister Fang Xiao has received it?"
He knew that Fang Yisi had already received it, but he still brought it up as a topic.
Fang Yisi nodded slightly and responded, "Yeah."
"That's good!" Yi Taiying nodded as if he understood.
Seeing that Yi Taiying was so interested in his daughter, Fang Jinghong said to Fang Yisi:
"It's a rare visit from General Yi today. How about you take him around the mansion?"
Fang Yisi hesitated for a moment, then looked at Meng Binghan.
Meng Binghan looked around and saw that they were all from his family, so he nodded.
After the two left, Fang Jinghong breathed a sigh of relief.
Since the Shu family's status has returned to normal, the Fang family has also become much more low-key.
Originally, relying on the relationship between his daughter and Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, he could still get some help.
But my daughter seemed to be quite repulsed by this.
Fang Jinghong was unwilling to force her, and the status of Shangshu Mansion gradually slipped because of Shu Qinglan.
Now that Yi Taiying has come to him on his own initiative, Fang Jinghong naturally wants to seize this opportunity.
What's more, this happened in our own house. As long as it was spread outside, it would not affect my daughter's reputation.
Considering Yi Taiying's attitude towards his daughter, Fang Jinghong already had a plan in mind.
"I'm telling you, you can't interfere in this matter."
Meng Binghan saw Fang Jinghong's thoughts and said seriously.
She understood her son's desire to climb the ladder, but she could never care about her daughter's feelings as she did before.
Fang Jinghong nodded quickly: "Don't worry, mother. If my daughter lives well, the Shangshu Mansion will naturally be well too."
On the other side, Yi Taiying saw that Fang Yisi was a little embarrassed, so he took the initiative to speak: "I heard that you have a good relationship with Chi Zijin?"
When Chi Zijin was mentioned, Fang Yisi's expression eased a lot, and he said softly:
"Zi Jin and I have known each other since childhood. Although we haven't seen each other for many years, we didn't feel strange when we met again."
"I still remember that she was in good health. I was a little surprised to see her this time." Yi Taiying agreed.
The two asked and answered each other, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.
Fang Yisi discovered that Yi Taiying always seemed to talk about topics that he was familiar with, and seemed quite considerate.
"I have to thank Princess An Ning for giving me the opportunity to meet Miss Fang," Yi Taiying suddenly said.
Fang Yisi didn't know how to respond for a moment, so he could only respond softly: "I am honored to meet General Yi."
"How about we go to Pingyuan Marquis Mansion now?" Yi Taiying suggested.
Fang Yisi's eyes widened. "You mean now?"
When he said this, Fang Yisi's eyes lit up, and it was obvious that he wanted to go too.
Yi Taiying pointed to the side door of Fang Mansion and said, "Let's go from that side. It's closest to Pingyuan Marquis Mansion."
"Then are we going like this?" Fang Yisi asked excitedly.
"Let's go!" Yi Taiying said, and walked towards the door first.
..............................................................................................
Pingyuan Marquis Mansion.
Chi Zijin looked at the two people who came in one after the other, feeling somewhat helpless: "Did the invitation say tomorrow? Why are you here today?"
Jian Xiu came in from the door, looked at Yi Taiying and asked, "Tell me, what are you doing here?"
She waited for the two to answer, then continued, "You know very well what I am, don't try to fool me."
"How dare I fool Princess An Ning?" Yi Taiying responded with a smile.
Jian Xiu had been getting along with Yi Taiying for a long time and already understood his personality, and would occasionally joke with him.
The fate of the two is not shallow. If Jian Xiu had not saved him in the mountains that year, perhaps he would have died long ago, or still be a bandit in the mountains.
"Since you dare to fool me, then tell the truth." Jian Xiu raised an eyebrow.
Yi Taiying smiled and said, "I visited Minister Fang today and happened to meet Miss Fang."
His words not only saved Fang Yisi's reputation, but also made him appear humble and polite.
Jian Xiu admired him in her heart, but her curiosity about gossip was even stronger.
"When did you meet?" Jian Xiu asked.
Yi Taiying smiled mysteriously: "Did you mention what Miss Fang looks like in your letter? I probably know it."
Jian Xiu rolled her eyes and shook her head helplessly.
I'm afraid of being laughed at for saying this.
You know, the person he was discussing was right next to me, yet he could still speak so calmly and confidently. I'm afraid no one else can do that.
Besides, when had I ever told him about Fang Yisi's appearance?
When it comes to talking, he really has a lot of things to say. As expected, men's mouths......
Looking at Rong Zhihe standing next to him, his face was already red as hell. 놊I know why, Jian Xiu is more satisfied with this couple.
"Brother Zixuan went to the military camp?" Yi Taiying suddenly asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Zixuan walked in from the door.
"What's the matter? Do you have something to talk to me about?" Zhang Zixuan said expressionlessly.
