My Family Raised A Proud Wife

[MFRAPW] Chapter 17.1 — That big, bad wolf voice couldn’t have come from his mouth

Chen Ying was a responsible person. Whether he wanted it or not, liked it or not, as long as he agreed, he would devote himself to it. He will try his best to do it well. Just like his current job.

So even though he wasn’t exactly happy about it, since he brought Mi Xi home, he would definitely arrange matters for her. 

Right now, taking advantage of Su Xiaopei and Cheng Jiangyi’s presence, he hastened to clarify Mi Xi’s situation. Everyone had to work together and perform their own duties. The Yue Lao who appeared for a while, then disappeared after leaving someone behind, seemed to be unreliable, so they—the uncles and aunt—had to help Mi Xi on their own. Everyone had to find a good candidate within a month. In the meantime, he, Cheng Ying, would let Mi Xi learn the ways of the world and then they could arrange a blind date for her.

That’s what one calls efficiency! Chen Ying was serious, and Mi Xi was also serious, but the attitudes of Su Xiaopei and Cheng Jiangyi only made Chen Ying dissatisfied. They were too carefree about this ah!

“A lot of things are random, don’t worry too much. You have to trust Yue Lao,” Su Xiaopei said. 

Chen Ying thought, Well, sure, since the young miss was not left in your care, then of course you would not be in a hurry.

“There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, don’t worry.” This is what Cheng Jiangyi said. 

Chen Ying thought, You’re not the one who has to clean up the mess when the young miss gets into trouble, so, of course, you think there’s a way.

After Su Xiaopei and Cheng Jiangyi left, Chen Ying realized that he missed a golden opportunity to throw Mi Xi to Su Xiaopei to take away. 

Chen Ying stopped what he was doing, walked out of the study, and saw Mi Xi sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV, opening and closing her small mouth, earnestly trying to learn how to talk like the people on the screen.

“I hate it, I hate it, it’s so annoying. I really don’t want it.” The actress pouted her lips and acted coquettishly. 

Chen Ying suddenly had goosebumps. Seeing that Mi Xi was frowning and following the words along in pain, Chen Ying hurriedly stopped her. “You don’t need to learn this.”

Mi Xi breathed a sigh of relief—this homework was really hard! 

Chen Ying also breathed a sigh of relief. He didn’t want Mi Xi to speak in such a tone. If she does, then he would definitely kick her out and then he’d be labeled as a true inhuman and cruel uncle.

Chen Ying turned off the TV and decided to talk to Mi Xi about a serious topic.

“Mi Xi, you are here to find a marriage, yes?”

Mixi nodded. Yue Lao said that only with the protection of the red thread could she maintain her life here, and as she was reborn anyway, then she wanted to have a good marriage so she could tell her parents about it and they could be comforted in the Yellow Springs. She couldn’t protect them before when she was still alive with them, but now she cherished this new opportunity that was given to her very much.

“Okay, then we should sum up this matter.” Before, because Cheng Jiangyi and Su Xiaopei were there, he couldn’t talk to Mi Xi in detail.

“Yes. Uncle, please tell me.” Mi Xi sat upright with a serious face.

“What kind of boy do you want to find?” Chen Ying asked bluntly.

Mi Xi was taken aback, opened her mouth, but nothing came out, and her face slowly turned red.

As soon as she blushed, Chen Ying also felt a little embarrassed. 

Could it be that his question was too stupid? Clearing his throat, he tried again. “It’s nothing difficult. I can help you to find the right candidates if you tell me the type you like, okay? So you talk about what you want. It doesn’t matter what, just say what you like, there is an uncle here, uncle will definitely help you.”

Mi Xi blushed even more, pursed her lips, and finally said under Chen Ying’s encouraging eyes, “A good marriage partner means that his family background is clean, his body is healthy, his character is good, and he observes filial piety.”

“What else?” Chen Ying asked again. She set her requirements like this, which was equivalent to not setting it at all.

“Then, it would be even better if he didn’t have the heart to marry a concubine, then he can treat me wholeheartedly.”

“Well, of course, that’s a given. You can’t take a concubine here. If he dares to have someone outside, you can sue him and make him leave the house. Don’t worry about that. I’ll take care of matters decisively if that should ever happen to you.”

Mi Xi blinked her eyes. She didn’t quite understand, did it mean that by marrying a concubine, a man can be made to be a eunuch? Uncle is so good? 

Before she could ask, Chen Ying said again, “Let’s talk about something more practical. What else do you want?”

Can I still ask? Mi Xi has become more courageous, and she was more willing to speak her mind. “I think… I think it would be good if the other party also knows martial arts. We can spar and learn from each other on weekdays.”

Chen Ying had black lines on his face.

There were many young people who knew martial arts, there were many young people in martial arts circles, and there were many young people in martial arts schools, but who would require a blind date to know martial arts these days! Tall, rich and handsome were the serious and practical requirements, weren’t they? 

But Mi Xi blinked her eyes and looked at him innocently, so he could only say, “Okay, I will pay attention to this.”

Mi Xi smiled at him shyly, which made Chen Ying’s heart soften, and he felt that he should guide her more patiently. “There are very few people who know martial arts here, and many who don’t know martial arts are actually quite good. If you set the conditions like this, it will be difficult to find a suitable person. Think again, what other conditions do you have?”

Mi Xi thought for a while, but didn’t say anything. After thinking about it again, she asked Chen Ying in a low voice, “Then what do the young masters here want from their future lady of the house? As for me, I don’t have anything.”

Such a simple sentence that hit Chen Ying like a hammer.

She doesn’t have anything.

He really ignored her mood. What he thought was a very simple matter, was a pit full of worries for her.

“Who says you don’t have anything? You have me for your uncle, Cheng Jiangyi as your uncle, Su Xiaopei as your aunt, and Yue Lao’s backing. You can have anything you wish for. You are the daughter of a wealthy family, you wear famous brands, and you live in a mansion. You don’t have to worry about food and clothing; you know martial arts; you are young and beautiful. You lack for nothing, do you understand?”

Mi Xi looked up at him. She didn’t understand some of the words, but she could guess them. Her eyes were a little red, and she smiled timidly, “Thank you uncle.” 

After a pause, she said, “I will remember the kindness of my uncles and aunt in my heart. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely repay you.”

Chen Ying mourned in his heart. What kind of person was he that he would expect her to repay him for these simple matters? She should quickly find someone to marry without causing further trouble, so he could return to his chic and carefree life, and everyone would be happy!
