Chapter 18 If It Really Doesn't Work, I'll Just Get Married

"What?" Cui Si's expression changed. "Did Cui Yun really say that?"

Cui Hao nodded vigorously, "Absolutely true! Sister, what should we do? If the name card falls into the hands of the King of Northern Yan and he agrees, will Sister really have to become Cui Yun's concubine?"

The Cui family welcomed the King of Northern Yan as their leader and submitted to him. Although the King of Northern Yan also gave face to the Cui family and agreed to marry a Cui daughter as queen, if the Cui family decided on a candidate and sent it to him, and he agreed, it would be difficult for the Cui family to go back on their word.

They had just served the master and finally gained a little favor, but now they are fickle and making trouble, which has displeased the master. Isn't the Cui family's surrender a joke?

If that time really came, the Cui clan might grit their teeth and accept the matter for the sake of their clan's future, and marry one and get one free, and really marry Cui Si as Cui Yun's concubine.

Mrs. Cui and Cui Yun's move of cutting off the source of the problem, wanting to use the King of Northern Yan to suppress the Cui clan, really caught them off guard.

Cui Si took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

Seeing Cui Hao so panicked that she was trembling all over and her face was pale, she advised her, "Ah Hao, don't worry too much. Things aren't that bad. I'll go talk to Grandma first. You stay here for a while."

"Go change your wife's clothes, and ask the kitchen staff to bring a bowl of ginger tea."

After giving these instructions, Cui Si went out, took the oil-paper umbrella handed to her by Song Lu, and then held the umbrella and braved the spring rain to return to Old Lady Xu's residence.

After dinner, Old Mrs. Xu felt a little sleepy and was about to wash up and take a rest. She was a little surprised to see Cui Si hurried back.

"What's going on? What happened?"

"Ah Hao came to me in a hurry just now and said that she met Fourth Sister outside. Fourth Sister claimed that the name card of the Cui family girl sent to the King of Northern Yan had been sent out last night."

"Has the business card been sent out?" Old Mrs. Xu frowned, having a bad feeling in her heart.

"Ah Hao said that Fourth Sister personally admitted that she was going to marry the King of Northern Yan, and that I was to be added as a concubine in her dowry. She wrote it down."

"What?!" Old Madam Xu was so shocked that she almost jumped up. "Is that little bitch from the Xie family crazy? She wants you to be her concubine?

Did the Cui clan agree? Did your father and mother agree? Did I, the old lady, agree?

"No! I have to go find her and ask her for the truth!"

"Grandma, we should ask, but asking now will serve no purpose other than to hold her accountable. Furthermore, Madam Cui might not even admit it. If she doesn't, we have no evidence and can't do anything to her. The most urgent thing is to send someone to seize the name card."

"Yes, yes." Old Madam Xu also calmed down and immediately ordered Aunt Deng to arrange for the family guards in the mansion to intercept the name card.

"Send a few more people, and also send a few more to find Sanlang, inform him of this matter, and have him intercept the name card before the King of Beiyan gets it."

"Remember, you must stop it!"

If the King of Northern Yan got the name card and agreed, Cui would have no choice but to agree.

This is a business card submitted by the Cui family themselves!

By then, even if the people from the second house disagree, it will be too late, unless they really dare to offend the King of Northern Yan.

Old Madam Xu was filled with hatred: "I knew it! I knew that Si Niang would get into trouble sooner or later with such ridiculous thoughts. I didn't expect it to happen so soon. Damn it! Damn it!"

"Mrs. Xie is the same. Doesn't she have any brains at all? She gives her daughter whatever she wants. Where does she put the Cui family and all the members of the Cui clan?"

She only thought about her daughter becoming the queen, and didn't think about the fact that the people of the Cui family were demoralized.

"No, I have to go and find out. Ah Si, don't be afraid. I'll take your grandparents and aunts to the main house to ask. By the way, did your father die in the academy? Someone, call him back!"

After giving these instructions, Mrs. Xu rejected Cui Si's suggestion to go with her and quickly left with her people.

Cui Si had no choice but to return to Qingwu Courtyard.

At this time, Cui Hao had changed her clothes and was drinking ginger tea with a frown on her face. She looked as if she had suffered a lot.

Seeing Cui Si walk in from the door, she stood up suddenly and asked her, "Sister, how is it going?"

"Grandmother has already sent people to intercept the name card. She also sent people to find my third brother and asked him to stop it before it reaches the hands of the King of Northern Yan."

Cui Hao was still worried: "But...but the person who delivered the business card left yesterday. It's been a day and a night..."

Xianyang City is not far from Pingzhou City. If we ride fast, we can reach it in one day. If we set out last night, I'm afraid the people have already reached Pingzhou City. It's probably too late to chase them now.

Cui Si's face also looked a little bad.

If it really doesn't work, then there are only two ways to go. One is to send Cui Yun to the west, and she will marry him as the principal wife and walk the path of her previous life again.

Secondly, if she wants to get married, she should marry off quickly. Then she will become someone else's wife. Could it be possible that the Cui family members could force her to divorce and come back to be a concubine?

As for how the Cui family ended up afterwards, I’m sorry.

Mrs. Cui and Cui Yun did this without considering how the Cui family would end up. Could it be that they were more considerate of the overall situation than her, who had been wronged, and endured it silently?

That's absolutely impossible!

In her life, there has never been a word of tolerance, nor has she ever made such a great sacrifice for her family.

"If it doesn't work out, I'll just get married."

"Get married?" Cui Hao was stunned.

"Yes, I'm married. So what if I'm on the name card? Do you think I'll be forced to leave and become a concubine even though I'm married?"

"Yes, sister can get married." Cui Hao breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned again, "But sister, who are you going to marry? Marry the young master of the Song family?"

"No." Cui Si shook her head, "I don't want to get married, and the Song family doesn't dare to marry me."

The Song family is still living under the protection of the Cui family. How could they dare to offend the eldest branch of the Cui family? Maybe even when her bridal sedan arrives at the door of the Song family, the Song family will send her back to the Cui family.

In this case, it is probably too late to find someone now, and probably like the Song family, they dare not marry her.

Now it seems that there is only... only Jiang Cinian...

He is alone and does not seek fame or wealth, so he has nothing to be afraid of. In addition, due to his friendship with Cui Changyou, he would probably be willing to help her and help her through this disaster.

"Who are you going to marry?"

Cui Si didn't want to finish her words right away, so she just said to Cui Hao, "I'll tell you when it's settled, okay?"

Cui Hao blushed slightly, feeling a little shy: "Well... well..."

Cui Si reached out and pinched her face, feeling a little better. "Stay here with my sister today."
