Chapter 124 Is that Laizhou of Beiyan, or Laizhou of the Xie family?

When the reason was revealed, Cui Hao's face turned slightly red, and then he smiled embarrassedly.

Cui Si ate half a bowl herself, then asked Cui Hao, "Did your father and mother's affairs go smoothly? Did anyone cause trouble for you?"

Cui Hao shook his head: "Although there are still some people who are reluctant for my mother to marry into the family, but because I have been arranged to marry General Shen by the King of Northern Yan, and as a member of the Cui family, they dare not jump out."

If you don't agree, just keep it to yourself.

As luck would have it, today it’s Cui Hao’s turn.

In the future, Cui Shi might need Cui Hao's help. It's impossible to let her do things without giving her any benefits.

"I have to thank my elder sister for all this. If it weren't for your help, I don't know when Father and Mother would be reunited. I... I will repay your kindness even if I have to work like a slave."

When Cui Hao was excited, his eyes turned red and his face was full of gratitude.

"Not really." Cui Si smiled. "You and I are sisters. If we can help, we will do so. Besides, your father is my uncle, so I naturally hope he can do what he wants."

Speaking of this, Cui Si suddenly remembered something: "I said I would let Chen Mo propose marriage, but I forgot about it."

None of the people in this group remember this incident.

But it is also true that after Chen Mo returned from the Pingzhou border, he rushed to Chongshan Pass. After conquering Chongshan Pass, he followed Yan Xingchuan to attack Yunzhou. Next, when he reaches Miaozhou, he may stay there.

Cui Si explained the situation and asked Cui Hao to feel relieved.

Cui Hao nodded: "Sister, I know, he has important things to do, so naturally he has to focus on that first. Besides, he and I are not that old, so it would take two or three years to get married. Anyway, with Sister here, he dare not not marry me."

"My elder sister is Wang Ji."

Having said that, Cui Hao couldn't help but laugh triumphantly.

Cui Si reached out and tapped her forehead: "You look so proud. Then stand up straight. You are Cui Jiuniang, and my sister is the princess. If anyone dares to bully you, just fight back."

Cui Hao nodded repeatedly: "Sister, I know, I won't let anyone bully me again."

Cui Si looked at the clear sky outside. It was cloudless and the sky was bright and clear. She didn't know when the world would be bright and clear again.

"Sixth Lady." A maid came to report, "The mistress of the family and the Xie clan have come and want to see you."

Cui Si frowned after hearing this and said, "Let them go back."

"I came back too late last night. Today, the Cui family is hosting a welcoming ceremony for me. I should first pay my respects to my ancestors and meet with the Cui clan members. If the Xie family has anything to say, please ask them to come tomorrow."

Last night, Cui Si also heard from Old Lady Xu about the Xie family coming to Xianyang City. Since the Xie family had come, the Cui family had to give them some face and temporarily let Madam Cui come out of the clan territory to entertain her relatives from her mother's side.

Cui Si thought to herself that it was a pity. It was such a hot day and she should let Mrs. Cui do more work in the fields to prevent her from being idle. After listening to Cui Yun's words, she doted on her daughter and started to cause trouble.

The maid took the order and left, telling the visitor what Cui Si had said.

After hearing this, Mrs. Cui's face instantly turned ugly.

"Did she really say that?"

The maid replied, "I dare not spread rumors. It was the Sixth Lady who said it herself."

Mrs. Cui was immediately furious. "Well, that's really good. She just became a princess and she's already so arrogant. She's forgotten her own name and doesn't even give me, her aunt, any respect."

As a member of the Cui clan, the wife of the head of the family, and Cui Si's aunt, she went to see Cui Si in person. The second branch of the Cui family did not give her face and asked her to wait, but even dared to refuse her and asked her to come again tomorrow.

"She even dared to have someone beat Shiro. This is outrageous, outrageous!"

Mrs. Cui was really angry.

The Xie family is her maternal clan, and Xie Luo is her nephew. Even if Xie Luo did something wrong, as a member of the Cui family, she should give her some face and not hit her.

"Let her out. I don't care if she's a princess or a queen. Her last name is Cui. I'm the wife of the Cui family's head, her aunt. I've come in person, so how could she refuse to see me? How can she be so disrespectful to her elders? How can she be a princess?"

Mrs. Cui sat on a chair, as if she would not leave until she saw someone.

The maid had no choice but to go back and report.

Xie Xi frowned and looked unhappy. Cui Si had beaten Xie Lu, which was bad enough. But that boy was always saying bad things. He deserved to be beaten for provoking others.

But the words Xie Lu brought back made him extremely unhappy, and he really wanted to ask Cui Si what she meant.

The Xie family has been operating in Laizhou for more than a hundred years. They are a well-known family in the Great Zhou Dynasty. There are also several children of them who are ministers. The fact that the Xie family recognizes the Northern Yan court regime is already a respect for them. What else do they want them to do?

Do we want them to learn from the Cui family?

When the Cui family welcomed Northern Yan into Pingzhou, the Xie family thought that the Cui family had gone crazy.

Even if they were really forced to do so, in order to avoid being affected by the war, they would just welcome the person in and worship him as a giant Buddha.

However, the Cui family directly handed over the control of Pingzhou, sending money and food. The whole family was driven by him and really regarded him as the monarch. They were willing to be his subjects and swear allegiance to him until death.

It's a good life, but you are willing to be a slave.

Stupid, really stupid!

Mrs. Cui saw Xie Xi's worry and said, "You don't have to worry too much. What Liu Niang said is somewhat credible. She is a princess, not a noblewoman of the Yan family. How could she possibly be the master of Northern Yan?"

Xie Xi said, "I heard that the King of Northern Yan sent the Yanyun Guards to escort Wang Ji back this time. Whether she can make the decision or not is not the question for now, but the fact that her letter was able to reach the King of Northern Yan must be true."

At this point, Xie Xi said, "Aunt, let's put aside the grudge between you and Princess Wang for now. The most important thing right now is the affairs of the Xie family. If you can get her to say a few good words to the King of Northern Yan, the Xie family will surely remember your contribution once they are well."

Mrs. Cui breathed a sigh of relief and suppressed her anger: "Don't worry, I know my limits."

After all, only when Xie is well can she, a daughter of the Xie family, be well.

The two waited for a while, but Cui Si didn't show up, but Cui Hao did.

Cui Hao bowed to the two of them and said, "Greetings, Madam, and greetings, Mr. Xie."

Cui Hao treated Madam Cui with respect as an elder, and treated Xie Xi with respect as an equal.

Mrs. Cui frowned: "Why are you here? Where is Liu Niang?"

Cui Hao said, "My sister just returned home at midnight yesterday and is resting now. When she heard that Madam and Mr. Xie were coming, she sent me here to apologize to Madam and greet her again at the dinner."

"As for Mr. Xie, my sister also asked me to ask him a question."

"What's the problem?"

"If Laizhou belongs to Northern Yan, then is it Northern Yan's Laizhou, or the Xie family's Laizhou?"
