With her father and brother banished, and her engagement to the marquisate broken, everyone eagerly awaited to see Xiao Jiuyue become a laughingstock.
Facing her frail grandmother, her beauti...
Chapter 498 Completely Fainted
"Master, my nephew, Qin Tao, is now the General of Pingxi. There is no need for us to leave Shengjing."
"As long as we look for more people, we will definitely..."
Mrs. Cui was still trying to make a dying struggle, she didn't want to leave Shengjing.
"Qin, you will go to Lingnan to take up your post tomorrow. The transfer document has been issued. Do you want to disobey the order?" Mr. Cui's words directly shattered Mrs. Cui's fantasy.
Mrs. Cui slumped to the ground helplessly, muttering to herself, "How could this happen?" As if suddenly remembering something, Mrs. Cui said, "Oh, Cui Yao, Cui Yao is also a daughter of the Cui family. She should definitely come with us to Lingnan."
Since everyone is going to Lingnan to suffer, Cui Yao should not even think about staying in Shengjing, let alone marrying into the Xiao family to enjoy a good life!
"By the way, doesn't your brother from your mother's side have a daughter? It's perfect, you can adopt Yao'er to the Qin family." Mr. Cui's words made Mrs. Cui faint.
That bitch stayed in Shengjing and became the sister of the general who suppressed the rebellion.
"Come here, pinch her Ren Zhong." Master Cui hurriedly had someone pinch her Ren Zhong to wake her up. The intense pain from the pinch slowly brought her back to consciousness. She said, "No, Master, we have to take Cui Yao with us. How can we separate as a family? Cui Yao is of marriageable age. If she stays in Shengjing..."
That bitch can’t even think about staying in Shengjing and enjoying herself!
"Don't worry about this. After she's adopted, the Qin and Xiao families will naturally discuss her marriage. By then, Yao'er will become the Crown Prince's wife, and then she'll be the future mistress of the Marquis' Mansion. When we return to Shengjing, we'll have someone to rely on."
Mr. Cui was originally determined not to agree to the adoption, but the pie drawn by the Qin family father and son was so big and sweet!
His daughter Cui Yao has the blood of the Cui family in her veins. Even if she changed her surname, she is still a girl of the Cui family.
As long as Cui Yao marries into the Xiao family, she will be the future mistress of Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion. By then, the child she gives birth to will be the crown prince!
And Mr. Cui, who is Cui Yao’s biological father, is naturally the prince’s maternal grandfather!
If the Cui family has any problems in the future and they come to the prince for help, will the prince still not help?
As long as the children are willing to help in the future, why would the Cui family worry about having no future?
If I anger the Xiao family and decide not to marry Cui Yao because of my reluctance to adopt her, the Cui family will lose their biggest supporter. I have to seize the opportunity now!
Besides, if Cui Yao married into the Xiao family, wouldn't the Xiao family have no foundation after more than three years in Lingnan? If the Xiao family was willing to help, would the Cui family still worry about not having a chance to make a breakthrough?
After repeated persuasion from the Qin father and son, Mr. Cui agreed almost immediately.
At the same time, Qin Tao, the newly appointed general who was in charge of suppressing the rebellion, said that this matter had to be kept secret from Madam Cui. After all, Cui Yao was not born in Madam Cui's womb, and Cui Yu was going to Lingnan to take up his post. If he did something bad, the marriage would not be possible!
Mr. Cui didn't think much about it and directly negotiated the adoption and marriage without going through Mrs. Cui, who was in charge of the household affairs. He did not tell Mrs. Cui until the eve of his departure.
The future mistress of the Marquis' Mansion now has someone to rely on.
After hearing this, Mrs. Cui fainted completely.
…
"Congratulations, big brother. Congratulations, big brother. The Cui family has left, and you can prepare for the wedding with peace of mind." Xiao Jiuyue was very excited when he heard the news that the Cui family had left Shengjing.
Although Cui Yao is still in Qingfeng Temple, as long as Cui Yao is adopted by the Qin family, the Cui family will not be able to control Cui Yao in the future.
"Well, please bring this jujube paste cake to Miss Cui for me." Xiao Jialing took out two boxes and handed them forward, saying, "This one is for you."
Xiao Jiuyue looked at two identical jujube paste cakes. These were Heji’s jujube paste cakes, a time-honored brand in Shengjing. There was always a queue every day, and it took at least one or two hours to buy one!
Of course, the taste is also excellent.
"Brother, I am really benefiting from my future sister-in-law." Xiao Jiuyue pinched the date paste cake and took a bite. The taste was very different from the date flower cake made by Su Su.
"Yue'er, thank you for your hard work. You still have to go to Qingfeng Temple to change Miss Cui's dressing." Xiao Jialing's ears were a little red. He looked at Xiao Jiuyue embarrassedly and said, "How is Miss Cui's face recovering?"
Xiao Jiuyue put away her portion of pastries. She turned around and said, "Brother, what if Sister Cui's face doesn't recover well?"
Xiao Jialing paused and said, "It's okay, I don't mind."
"No matter how beautiful a person's appearance is, it will age. If you really want to find someone with good looks, there are many in Shengjing." Xiao Jialing is not a young man who has never seen the world. When it comes to beauty, his mother and sister are both beautiful in their own ways.
Xiao Yurong and Xiao Tingwu are also very good-looking, but being good-looking alone won't last a lifetime, and you'll eventually get tired of looking at them.
"Brother, then you can just wait for your beautiful bride." Xiao Jiuyue said jokingly, got on the carriage, looked at Xiao Jialing who was standing beside the carriage in a daze, and said, "Don't worry, it will definitely heal. I guarantee there will be no scars."
Qingfeng Temple.
"You, are Cui Yao?"
Cui Yao had just finished copying the scriptures when she heard Master Jinghui taking her out to meet someone. At first, she thought it was Xiao Jiuyue, but soon, Cui Yao realized that it was not her. When she walked closer, she found that it was... an old lady with a little gray hair?
After Cui Yao finished her greetings, Nun Jinghui said, "Cui Yao, Aunt Liu wants to ask you a few questions."
"Aunt Liu." Cui Yao was completely confused at this moment.
…
Xiao Jiuyue had just climbed the steps of Qingfeng Temple and reached halfway up the mountain when she ran into a woman who was crying out, "I sprained my ankle. Is there anyone who can help me?"
Xiao Jiuyue had always been by her master, Doctor Xiao Wang's side, and was used to asking questions when she saw a patient. She looked at the woman and asked, "Madam, what's wrong with your foot?"
"Miss, I twisted my ankle when I was walking down the stairs just now. It hurts so much." The woman's features were all squeezed together. She looked at Xiao Jiuyue and said, "Miss, can you find a doctor for me?"
"No need, I'm the doctor. If you don't mind, I'll help you take a look." Xiao Jiuyue squatted down and pinched her foot directly, saying, "Is it here?"
"It hurts, yes, here." The woman's feet were pinched. She looked at Xiao Jiuyue's ten fingers that were as white as scallions and said, "Miss, my feet are dirty, you..." You'd better find a doctor for me.
Before the woman could finish her words, Xiao Jiuyue said directly, "Madam, your foot is just twisted and dislocated. I can help you put it back in place."
"Connect?" The woman didn't understand what was going on. The next moment, she felt a piercing pain. Before she could react, she heard Xiao Jiuyue say, "Madam, try standing up."
"No, it hurts." The woman said this, and with the help of Donggui, she stood up. It was so painful just now, but when she tried to step on the ground, it... didn't hurt anymore?
The woman looked at Xiao Jiuyue in surprise: "Young lady, you are really amazing."
"This is very simple." Xiao Jiuyue said nonchalantly, "Madam, please be careful when you go down the stairs." If it is twisted, it will be put back together with a pinch. If it is broken, it will injure the bones and muscles and it will take a hundred days to heal.
