The Noble Empress

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 401 What did you say? Sister-in-law?

Chapter 401 What did you say? Sister-in-law?

When Cui Hao brought Doctor Lin to the door, the Chang siblings were still stunned and didn't understand what was going on, but since the person had already arrived, they asked someone to invite him in.

Chang Pu invited Cui Hao to the yard where Chang Ru lived. At this time, Chang Ru looked pale and a little listless.

After the two of them exchanged greetings, Cui Hao introduced Doctor Lin: "This is the famous Doctor Lin in Yunzhou City. I heard that Madam Chang is not feeling well, so I asked him to come and see her."

The two of them seemed to look at each other intentionally or unintentionally, as if they knew each other.

"Thank you, Madam Cui Jiu. It's all my fault that my health is not good enough and I made you worry."

"Madam Chang, why do you need to say such things? I came from Xianyang City half a month ago and also stayed in bed for two days. The weather is cold now. Unless it is absolutely necessary, it is better to stay at home."

"Speaking of which, it was my family that was disrespectful. It should have been my third brother who went to Beiyan City."

Cui Haosheng is soft and cute, with a pair of round almond eyes. When she is quiet, she looks like a cute kitten, and when she talks, she looks like a happy magpie on the branch. Few people can dislike her.

At this time, she spoke politely and gently, showing enough concern and respect. When she learned that Chang Ru was ill, she invited the best doctor over, which made the Chang brothers and sisters feel good about the Cui family when they first met them.

At least the Cui family, no matter what they do in private, are polite and respectful in public, unlike the Shen family, who tell you not to worry about your status and just be a concubine.

Doctor Lin examined Chang Ru and then prescribed medicine. Chang Pu arranged for someone to go to the clinic to get the medicine, and personally sent Doctor Lin out, allowing the two girls to talk for a few words.

"Madam Chang, don't worry. Our Cui family would never do such a thing as bullying. The Lord has told me what the Chang family means. However, the outcome of this matter depends on my third brother's opinion. If the marriage can be successful, that would be great. If not, perhaps it's just not meant to be. Please don't blame me, Madam Chang."

"Don't worry." Chang Ru's eyes fell on Cui Hao's face, "If you don't want to, I won't force you."

"That's the best way to think, Madam Chang. My elder sister said before that marriage is about mutual consent. After all, the future is for two people to spend together."

Chang Ru asked her, "Which sister are you?"

"My elder sister is the sixth child in the family. My father and her father are close brothers, so when we're at home, I call her elder sister."

"So it's Princess Wang." Chang Ru nodded, "I've heard of Princess Wang before, but I've never had the chance to meet her."

Cui Hao said, "That's easy. My sister is in Yunzhou City. When Madam Chang feels better, we can go visit her. It's been cold these days, and it snows a lot. My sister is feeling bored, so it would be nice to have someone to talk to."

Chang Ru's eyes flickered slightly: "Wang Ji is in Yunzhou City?"

It's really strange. What on earth is there in Yunzhou City? Yan Xingchuan is in Yunzhou City, Cui Si is also there, and even Cui Jiuniang has come to Yunzhou City.

"Yes, but she is not feeling well now, so it is not convenient for her to come visit Madam Chang."

Chang Ru saw that Cui Hao didn't seem to want to discuss this topic further, so she tactfully changed the subject and asked her, "Is winter in Xianyang City also this cold?"

"Maybe a little colder, but not much different."

The two talked for a long time. Seeing that Chang Ru was indeed a little tired, Cui Hao tactfully stood up and said goodbye.

Chang Pu personally escorted her out to the carriage, then returned to Chang Ru's residence and asked her, "What is Madam Cui Jiu's attitude?"

Chang Ru nodded: "It's quite good. They are a family that values ​​both etiquette and reason. I heard that Wang Ji is also in Yunzhou City."

"Oh?" Chang Pu was also surprised. "What on earth is there in Yunzhou City that is worth them all coming here?"

That's strange.

The brother and sister were puzzled.

Chang Ru thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps we'll find out in a few days. Right now, the most important thing is to see what kind of person Cui Sanlang is. It would be best if this marriage could be concluded."

Chang Pu felt a little upset after hearing this. Their current behavior was simply asking for trouble. He knew that this matter could not be blamed on the Cui family, so he could only put the blame on Shen Sui.

"It's all because of that bastard Shen Sui. If he hadn't done all these awful things, how could you have ended up in such an embarrassing situation!"

Infuriating! It’s really infuriating!

In other words, he returned to Beiyan City late and Shen Sui had left early, otherwise he would have definitely beaten him up.

"As long as Cui Jing is okay, this bedroom deal must be done. I want to let Chen Sui know that my Chang family daughter is not unmarriageable if she leaves him!"

"Alright, brother." Chang Ru didn't want to discuss this matter any further. After all, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. "I'll take a good rest first. No matter when Cui Sanlang arrives in Yunzhou City, I'll go see Princess Wang when I feel better in two days."

"That's right." Regardless of how the princess's identity came about, since it was decided by the lord, they, as ministers, cannot lose their manners. At least they have to give the lord face.

"I'm going to Yunzhou City to see if there are any good things there and collect some gifts. I can't lose my manners when the time comes."

The Chang brothers and sisters quickly settled the matter, and Cui Hao returned home in a carriage.

When she returned to Cui Si's yard, she walked in quickly and sat by the brazier, shivering as she warmed herself by the fire. The maid took off her cloak for her and someone brought her a cup of hot tea.

Only after she drank a cup of tea did she feel warm.

"Sister, the Chang family's wife is very pretty."

Now that the embroiderer had left, Cui Si sat on a wooden couch with a brazier beside it, warming herself by the fire while knitting a small blanket. Hearing this, she asked, "What's so good about that?"

"What's a good opinion?" Cui Hao was a little confused. After thinking for a while, she said, "She looks gentle and dignified, and she treats people politely. Sister, it seems that she would be a good sister-in-law to us."

Cui Si paused, and asked in disbelief, "What did you say? Sister-in-law?"

"Yes, sister, you don't know yet? Didn't the master tell you?"

"What can he say?" Cui Si became angry when she heard it. There was no telling how many things that bastard was hiding from her. He didn't tell her about Lin Qingning's affairs, and she was too lazy to ask about it. It was none of her business anyway, but what was the matter with Chang Ru wanting to be her sister-in-law?

"He really didn't say anything!" Cui Hao was a little surprised, but she changed her mind and said, "Maybe my brother-in-law wants you to rest well, so he didn't say anything. I only heard him tell me when my brother-in-law asked me to visit Madam Chang just now."

"But it's a long story."

"Then I'll make it short."

"Well, it's about Shen Sui wanting to marry the Princess of Nanhuai. He went to the Chang family and asked for Madam Chang to be his concubine. This angered the Chang family, so they turned their attention to my third brother and wanted to marry into our Cui family."
