Chapter 260: Making Trouble

Yan Xingchuan stayed in Piaomiao City for half a day, dealt with some important matters, and then called everyone together to discuss and arrange the next things, and entrusted everything to Shangguan Tong.

In the afternoon, he left with Yanyunwei.

The sound of horse hooves faded away, and dust rose and fell along the way.

Xu Daozhen and Shangguan Tong watched the group leave from the city wall, feeling somewhat worried: "My Lord, isn't this a bit...inappropriate?"

Being bound by love and giving up important things for a woman is not what a wise monarch should do.

"Let's go. Fighting is important, but there's one thing that's also important."

"What's up?"

"The Lord should get married soon." Shangguan Tong smiled.

"I can see that the Lord is not capable of governing the empire. He will probably get tired of all the political affairs over time. So, it would be better to let him go more often to coax the princess, get married soon, and have a child."

"What do you think of Cui Jing, and what about Wang Ji? Let's not talk about Wang Ji for now. Cui Jingzhi is so amazing that it's not an exaggeration to call him so wise that he's almost a demon. They say nephews resemble their uncles. So, if the Lord and Wang Ji had a child, wouldn't it be wonderful if the child looked like Cui Jingzhi?"

"This is also a very important matter for Beiyan, right? Beiyan also needs a young master."

That’s true.

Xu Daozhen nodded, feeling that it made sense, but also worried: "But when will Princess Wang marry the Lord? The Lord... he's really useless. He can't even coax a young lady."

Shangguan Tong coughed and said, "Don't say that to his face, or he might get angry out of shame."

"Wang Ji is not an ordinary woman. It is not easy to marry her. I just hope that the master can be more motivated, coax her more, and have a better temper, and not always make Wang Ji angry."

"But we don't need to dwell on these things. The most important thing for us now is to stabilize Miaozhou. As for the Lord... let's just wish him success."

Chen Sui set out in the evening of the day Huayue returned to Pingzhou City. He slowed down his pace at night and arrived at Xianyang City at noon the next day.

When he arrived at the city gate, he immediately revealed his identity and said that he wanted to visit the Cui family.

The general guarding the city verified their identities and invited them into the city. He also sent someone to inform Mr. Cui Si. Before the group arrived at the Cui family's territory, Mr. Cui Si came to meet them with several members of the Cui family.

"General Shen, hahaha." Fourth Master Cui walked over with a smile, "What brings you here?"

Although no one knew why Shen Sui suddenly came to Xianyang City, Shen Sui worked in Beiyan just like the Cui family. In addition, Cui Hao and Shen Mo were already engaged, so the two families were considered relatives. Naturally, Mr. Cui Si welcomed him with a smile.

However, Shen Sui seemed to be born indifferent, with a cold face like ice. He looked like an iceberg in the distant mountains and rivers, so cold and sharp that if you got close to him, you would be frozen to death.

That is Lin Qingning, the only exception in front of him.

At this time, Shen Sui just glanced at Mr. Cui Si indifferently, without any intention of exchanging pleasantries with him, and said directly: "I came here today to see Cui Liuniang."

"Meet my Liu Niang?" When Mr. Cui Si heard him call Cui Si "Cui Liu Niang", the smile on his face faded.

As for the people in Yan Xingchuan, they were friendly to the Cui clan members and were even more respectful to Cui Si, calling her "Princess Wang" all the time. But when it came to Shen Sui, they didn't seem to show much respect.

Fourth Master Cui asked him, "Did the Lord send General Shen to see Liu Niang?"

"no."

Fourth Master Cui: “?!”

What are you here for?

What? You also like my Liu Niang and want to come to my house to ask for her to be your wife?

But you are probably risking your life to compete with your master for his wife!

However, Chen Sui's attitude didn't seem like he was here to propose marriage, but rather like he was looking for trouble.

Mr. Cui Si's face darkened and he became a little angry: "Why do you want to see my Liu Niang?"

"You, a foreigner, came to my Cui family for no reason, asking to see my unmarried girl. What? Do you think my Cui family is easy to bully?"

Forget about Yan Xingchuan. His status is there, and he has a complicated relationship with Cui Si. Moreover, he has promised to marry Cui Si, so the Cui family reluctantly recognizes him.

He came and wanted to see Cui Si, and the elders of the Cui family agreed and allowed him to go.

But who is Shen Sui to dare to say such a thing?

Shen Sui's face also changed. He had been a general for so long, and his tactics were strong and decisive. Only Shen Mo dared to jump in front of him. What was the identity of this person in front of him, who actually questioned him like this?

"No need to say more, just arrange it."

Fourth Master Cui's face darkened. "If General Shen is here to visit our Cui clan as a guest, then we, the Cui clan, will naturally welcome him. After all, the Cui and Shen families are relatives. But if he is here to cause trouble, our Cui clan will not be easily bullied."

Judging from the tone of the command, does he think the Cui family is his servants?

absurd!

Shen Sui's eyes were cold and he looked at Mr. Cui Si with some hostility.

Mr. Cui Si was a little afraid of Shen Sui's momentum, but he refused to give in.

If he gave in today and allowed Shen Sui to do whatever he wanted with the Cui family and meet any girl they wanted, then where would the face of the Cui family be?

This is simply throwing your face on the ground and letting people step on it. Your spine will be crushed.

This is absolutely impossible.

"General Shen, if you have anything to ask our Cui family, just tell me. The head of the family is not in Xianyang City, and Sanlang is far away in Miaozhou. For the time being, I will take charge of the Cui family's affairs."

"I want to see Cui Liuniang."

"Absolutely not."

The situation was deadlocked for a while, and both of them refused to give in. After a while, the descendants of the Cui family came with their family soldiers. Nearly a thousand people surrounded Shen Sui and others.

"General Shen, if you know what's best for you, please leave immediately. For the sake of General Shen, the Cui family will not mind your impoliteness. But if you still dare to pester me and speak nonsense, don't blame us for being rude."

"Don't forget, General Shen and my Ninth Lady have an engagement. If you come to my house and humiliate me like this, I will reconsider whether your Shen family is a suitable place for marriage."

Speaking of Shen Mo and Cui Hao's marriage, Shen Sui's expression finally changed.

Shen Mo was going to marry a girl from the Cui family. He and Shen Mo were brothers. If he caused trouble in the Cui family at this time and angered the Cui family, even if the Lord had granted the marriage, the marriage might be canceled.

But he thought about it and his expression turned cold again.

There aren't many good girls among the Cui family, so it's better not to marry her, so as to avoid being confused like Yan Xingchuan. Besides, Lin Qingning is more important.

"In that case, please reconsider it."
