The year Yan Xingchuan successfully rebelled, he made his cousin empress, and even promised never to establish another empress in this life before her death.
Cui Si was his principal wife, wh...
Chapter 201 My Lord, please be honest and be scolded when you deserve it
The guard at the gate of Pingshan Qiju suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
If it were someone else who dared to cause trouble in the residence of the King of Northern Yan, he would be fed up with life and would be killed on the spot.
But Yan Xingchuan had robbed a girl who was about to get married two days ago, and Cui Jing and others had been doing well when they made trouble that day. Yan Xingchuan's attitude was also very intriguing. How could they dare to touch the old lady?
I could only persuade her kindly: "Mrs. Cui, please don't get angry. How about I take you to the main courtyard for some tea?"
"Hmph! Drink tea, what tea?" Old Mrs. Xu had been holding back her anger for a few days. She wanted to curse at every dog that passed by on the roadside. How could she let Yan Xingchuan, the culprit, go?
"I came here to look for my granddaughter. Do I have to wait? Is he planning to imprison her?"
A Yanyun Guard arrived and saw that Old Lady Xu was furious. He quickly said, "You're joking. Please, I'll ask you to go see Princess Wang right now. Mr. Cui and Cui Wulang are both here."
Cui Jing heard Old Lady Xu's voice from afar and was shocked. He hurried over. When he arrived, Cui Changyou had already helped Old Lady Xu into the gate and around the screen wall.
"Grandma? Uncle? Why are you here?"
Although it didn't snow today, it was colder than the previous two days. Old Mrs. Xu was wearing thick clothes and had to use a cane to walk more steadily. When she saw Cui Jing, she didn't let him go and started scolding him immediately.
"Why are we here? You ask how we got here? Look at what a rotten thing you've done. You found Ah Si, but instead of bringing her home, you had her maid taken away. I think you've lost your mind!"
Cui Jing was embarrassed for a moment, then immediately put the blame on Yan Xingchuan: "I want to take Ah Si back, but Yan Xingchuan won't let her go. What can I do?"
"You won't hit him?"
"I can't beat him!"
That's a good reason indeed.
Old Madam Xu was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe: "Okay, okay, he's so capable, isn't he? I want to see how capable he is. Let him get out of here!"
These three generations of grandparents and grandchildren have very similar personalities at times, and they can be very scary when they get angry.
Cui Jing quickly advised her: "Grandma, anger is harmful to your health. Don't worry about him for now. I will take you to see Sixth Mother. Fifth Brother is also there." It's not that he wants to help Yan Xingchuan, but if Grandma Xu continues to be angry like this, it will not be good for her health.
"You lead the way, my dear granddaughter. You are so unlucky that you have to encounter such a thing." Old Mrs. Xu was naturally most worried about her granddaughter. When she heard that she was going to meet Cui Si, she had to put aside the matter of settling the score with Yan Xingchuan for the time being.
"How could he behave like this? How could he let Liu Niang live her life? How would he let the world view Liu Niang? He's really, a jerk!"
As soon as she mentioned it, Mrs. Xu started to get angry again.
"Sixth Mother was sick yesterday." Cui Jing quickly brought up this matter to block Old Lady Xu.
When Mrs. Xu heard this, she was no longer angry: "Why are you sick?"
"I caught a cold." Cui Jing said as he led Old Lady Xu inside, "Grandma, Jiang Cinian also came yesterday. This time, things are a bit complicated. Please don't be angry for now."
"Also, when you see Ah Si later, don't mention this to her. Just say you heard she was sick and you were worried, so you came to see her. Don't mention anything else. Let her be quiet for a while."
"Later, I will tell you the whole story. If you are still angry and want to beat up Yan, I will give you the cane."
Mrs. Xu was confused, but she still believed her child. She nodded and said, "In that case, I will listen to you. Let's go see Ah Si first and we can settle these accounts later."
"By the way, I saw the Yan family at the door just now. You should have someone arrange some things for them. It's not appropriate to let them wait at the door." Speaking of this, Mrs. Xu was still a little speechless.
"What do you think they're doing here? They don't even have the guts to barge in. Are they here to meet the King of Northern Yan?"
Cui Jing was also not happy that the Yan family came at this time. He and Cui Si's place was a mess and they didn't want to entertain these relatives. But he couldn't tell this to Old Lady Xu, so he said, "They must be worried about Ah Si and want to come and see her in person."
"Grandmother, I will take you to A'si first, and then I will go to see them."
After arranging for someone to invite the Yan family to the guest garden, Cui Jing quickly sent Old Lady Xu to Cui Si.
When Yan Xingchuan learned that Old Lady Xu had also come, his scalp suddenly went numb.
"What should I do?"
Cui Jing alone was enough to give him a headache, and now Old Lady Xu was here too, taking on the status of an elder. Even if she really wanted to hit him, he wouldn't dare to hide.
Moreover, this old lady has a hot temper, and her reputation as a daughter of a general is well-deserved.
"Tell me, what should we do?"
Yun Kui and Yun Gang looked at each other.
Yun Kui shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. He was just a rough guy who fought the toughest battles and followed orders. These brain-intensive things were never his forte.
Yun Gang was smart, but now that Yan Xingchuan had walked to a dead end, what else could he do? He could only bite the bullet and move forward.
I hope that when Mrs. Xu knew the truth, she would calm down, be more tolerant, and let the merits and demerits offset each other.
"My Lord, please behave yourself. If you need to apologize, then apologize. If you need to be scolded, then be scolded. Don't provoke the old lady. If you make her angry and something bad happens to her, Princess Wang will definitely blame you, and your life will be even more difficult."
"This result is already very good for you. At least Wang Ji has to stay by your side for her own safety. If you seize this opportunity, you will have many more chances in the future."
Although it seemed that Yan Xingchuan himself was stupid and had to jump into the game himself, if he had just told the Cui family the news and asked them to do it, everyone in the Cui family would be grateful to him.
But the benefits are also obvious. He has entered the game and is no longer an outsider. He can no longer be separated from Cui Si.
It is true that he is neither human nor ordinary, but it is also true that he got the twists and turns he wanted.
Perhaps after considering all factors, the Cui family will really marry Cui Si to him.
This is simply a godsend.
"Even if you get beaten by the old lady, you won't lose anything."
When Yan Xingchuan heard this, he thought it made sense. He comforted himself a little and felt that it was not a loss at all.
"Then I'll go now." Yan Xingchuan figured it out and immediately went to see Old Lady Xu.
Upon hearing this, Yun Gang hurriedly stopped him, "Please wait a moment, let the old lady talk to Princess Wang first. They probably have a lot to say to each other, and if you go now, you'll probably be annoyed."
"My Lord, please be rational."
