Chapter 222 Sisters

"Mother!" Upon hearing Tang's words, Cui Ruxu bit her lip and whispered, "I will never... marry that nephew of my grandmother's family, even if I die."

"Alas..." Tang sighed and said, "Not to mention you don't want to do it, even your father and I don't want to do it. Otherwise, why would we come all the way to your great-aunt's place? It's only fortunate that your grandfather is not in good spirits right now and can't take care of so many things. Otherwise, we wouldn't have run out like we were running for our lives!"

Cui Ruxu lowered her head, bit her lips and said nothing.

"If you ask me, your grandmother is too nosy. She's not your father's or your second uncle's biological mother, but she has to interfere in everything. It was okay before, but now she even wants to interfere in your marriages!" The more Tang thought about it, the angrier she became, and she couldn't help but complain.

"Mother!" Cui Ruxu said hurriedly, "Although Grandmother isn't my biological mother, she is my grandfather's stepwife after all. As the younger generation, we can't be disrespectful!"

"Ah, you're just too docile!" Tang sighed. "I just hate that I can't be with you all the time. In that family, if it weren't for Xun'er always protecting you, you would have been bullied to death."

"Mom, I understand. As long as those younger sisters don't go too far, it's fine. Besides, I'm the eldest sister, so I have to give way to my younger sisters!" Cui Ruxu said softly.

"You are really making me angry to death. How are you like me? Why are you so non-competitive? I am worried that if you get married, you will be bullied by your sisters-in-law!" Tang sighed.

"Mom~~" Cui Ruxu felt a little embarrassed. She pulled Tang's sleeve and shook it, lowered her head and blushed. She was fifteen years old now and was almost at the age to discuss marriage. She felt a little shy when she saw Tang talking about her marriage, but when she thought about the reputation of her grandmother's nephew, her face turned pale again. If she married such a playboy, it would be more merciful to take her life directly.

"Okay, okay, Mom won't say anymore!" Tang sighed.

"I think what my aunt said makes sense!" At this time, Cui Ruxun's voice came from the doorway: "Sister, I also think you need to change your temper, otherwise you will definitely suffer when you go to your husband's house in the future!"

Tang and Cui Ruxu looked up and saw that it was Tan and Cui Ruxun who came.

Tang quickly stood up and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, Xun'er, come and sit down!"

Tan smiled and said to Tang, "Sister-in-law, Xun'er doesn't have a soft temper. She didn't mean to say that to Xu'er. Don't take it to heart!"

"Mom!" Cui Ruxun pouted and said, "How could I have that?"

Tang laughed and said, "You're wrong, sister-in-law. I really hope Xu'er is more like Xun'er. With Xun'er's personality, she'll definitely suffer in her husband's family. I'm just worried about Xu'er. With such a soft personality, what will happen if she goes to her husband's family? If she meets a good sister-in-law, it'll be fine. But if she meets a powerful one, won't she be bullied to death?"

"Aunt, don't worry. I will marry into the same city as my elder sister in the future. If my elder sister is wronged, I will be there to support her and let her husband's family see that my elder sister has the support of her family!" Cui Ruxun said with her chin raised.

"Xun'er!" Cui Ruxu blushed. "Don't talk nonsense. We don't have a husband's family yet!"

"If there is nothing now, there will be something in the future. It's just a matter of time. There's nothing to be ashamed of!" Cui Ruxun blinked and said to Cui Rusu.

"You!" Cui Ruxu smiled helplessly and said nothing more.

Speaking of the two sisters getting married, Tan's face was filled with worry: "Sister-in-law, if we can't arrange marriages for the two sisters in the capital this time, what will happen if mother really forces them to marry that man?"

"No!" Tang comforted her, "Sister-in-law, don't scare yourself. Even if we don't arrange a marriage here, I will never let them marry such a playboy. Humph, he's just a poor man. If you want to marry them, you can dream on!"

"Ah..." Tan sighed, "I'm just worried!"

"Mom, what's there to worry about? If my sister and I don't get married, do you think the Lu family will dare to snatch us away?" Cui Ruxun raised an eyebrow and said, "Besides, my eldest cousin is a first-rank general who protects the country. No matter how arrogant the Lu family is in Zhanyang, do they dare to go against my eldest cousin?"

Tan frowned and said, "Of course they didn't dare, but... we didn't tell the truth to our great-aunt. Do you think she would be angry about our concealment if she found out?"

"Sister-in-law!" Tang said, "I just haven't told you yet. We haven't been in touch with my great-aunt for many years. Now that we've just arrived, we don't know much about her family's temperament. If they really kick us out, we'll have no way out. It's better to keep it a secret for now and ask for help after we get to know them better. Even if they don't want to get involved in the lawsuit, we'll be more familiar with the capital by then. Even if we leave this mansion, at least we won't be in the dark."

"But……"

"Mom, just listen to your aunt!" Cui Ruxun said, "We don't have any bad intentions, we're just trying to take advantage of the situation!"

"Oh, okay!" Tan sighed and said.

Tang laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, when we gave birth to these two sisters, did we mistakenly give them to each other? My Xu'er has the same personality as yours, but Xun'er's personality is exactly like mine!"

"Ah!" Tan blinked, not knowing what to say for a moment!

Cui Ruxun, who was standing by, chuckled and said, "Aunt, if it really was a mistake, then so be it. After all, you and my mother treat me and my sister the same!"

"Haha, that's true!" Tang laughed when she heard that.

Cui Ruxu also smiled as she listened!

Cui Ruxun looked at Cui Ruxu, then smiled and hugged her arm: "Sister, tell me, if it's really a mistake, do you have to call me sister?"

"Oh, girl, I was just joking and you're making fun of me!" Cui Ruxu couldn't help but smile and tapped Cui Ruxun's forehead!

“Oh my, sister, I’m dizzy, I’m dizzy!” Cui Ruxun fell towards Cui Ruxu like a playful kid: “Sister, you have to hold me up!”

"You're pretending to be faint again!" Cui Ruxu patted Cui Ruxun's shoulder in amusement.

Looking at the two sisters making a fuss, Mrs. Tan also laughed, and the sadness in her heart dissipated a little.

In the Huainan Marquis Mansion, on the roof of Han Chi's study, Huo Wu lay there quietly, staring at Han Chi who was reading in the study.

Huo Wu has been waiting on the roof of this study for three days, and there has been nothing unusual here.

Huo Wu didn't dare to be careless and lay there quietly without moving.

Suddenly, the door of Han Chi's study was opened!

"Lord Han, long time no see!"
