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 59 Take the people and go to Wang's house
"Really?" Cui Si looked indifferent.
What she disbelieved most was the word "sincerity".
Song Rou said that she and Mr. Cui were "true to each other", so she wanted to be together regardless of the world's opinions, which made her very disgusted.
Yan Xingchuan said that he had true feelings for her, but he still abandoned her for other reasons, leaving her feeling resentful for the rest of her life.
Cui Si pulled her hand away from Wang Xiuzhu's, her tone calm:
"If you are sincere, you should first explain this matter to the elders of the Wang family and dissolve the marriage alliance between the Cui family and the Wang family. I respect your sincerity and your courage to take responsibility. The Cui family will not hold you accountable."
"But you didn't say anything and continued to interact secretly. That's just shameless and shameless."
Cui Si felt very angry when she thought about how Cui Jing, a handsome and upright man in her previous life, was so badly betrayed by this pair of evil couple.
If he raises the bastard child of his wife and her adulterer, and gives him the title he has worked so hard to earn all his life, even when he dies, his coffin will not be able to hold him down.
Thinking of this, Cui Si's heart turned even colder: "Don't beg me. You should have thought about the consequences of your crime being exposed before you did this. Even if you are beaten to death, it is what you deserve."
"Take the man and let's go to Wang's house."
Wang Xiuzhu didn't expect that she was so heartless. Her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Cui Si raised her hand and had the man escorted out to the Wang family.
She asked Qin Jiu: "Do you want to go back first, or go to Wang's house with me?"
Qin Jiu hesitated for a long time, then said, "I'd better go home first. Sister Xiuzhu... Although I don't disgrace what she did, I have been friends with her for many years, so I won't testify for you."
Cui Si did not force her: "You should consider our friendship, but if the truth is needed one day, I hope you can stand up."
Qin Jiu frowned: "What do you mean by that?"
"Nothing, I'm just afraid someone will bite me back, and I'll need you to be a witness then."
Qin Jiu nodded after hearing this: "Don't worry, if the time really comes, I will definitely stand up and speak a fair word."
"Okay, then I'll thank you in advance."
After Cui Si said these words, she ordered someone to send Qin Jiu back to the Qin family, and she took her men and escorted the adulterous couple to the gate of the Wang family.
Upon hearing the news, Mrs. Wang hurried over.
Seeing the Cui family's guards abandoning the two people in the yard, his face changed drastically and he hurried forward: "Xiuzhu! Lan Yi! What happened to you?"
Mrs. Wang's surname was Zhu. She had a dignified and beautiful oval face, which was about half similar to Wang Xiuzhu. At this moment, she was wearing a rouge-red cross-collared dress and light makeup, looking very gentle and dignified.
This cousin who had lived in the Wang family for many years was her nephew from her mother's side, named Zhu Lanyi.
Zhu Lanyi's face was pale and he clenched his teeth, not daring to speak. However, Wang Xiuzhu woke up at this moment, and when she saw her mother, she threw herself into her mother's arms and began to cry.
"Mother...Mother..."
The more she cried, the more pitiful her sobs became, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Seeing her daughter so pitiful, Madam Wang was furious. She helped Wang Xiuzhu up and handed her to a nearby maid. She also had Zhu Lanyi helped up and then stepped forward to question Cui Si:
"Madam Cui Liu, what did my daughter Xiuzhu do wrong to deserve such treatment from you?
Don't forget, although our Wang family is not as powerful as the Cui family, Xiuzhu is your brother's fiancée and will be your sister-in-law in the future. Treating your sister-in-law like this is really too much!"
"Madam Wang, that's a good question. I also want to ask the Wang family, whose fiancée is Wang Xiuzhu, and why would she meet with this man in secret and be so affectionate in a place where no one is around?"
"What?!" Mrs. Wang's face changed drastically. She turned her head to look at Wang Xiuzhu and then at Zhu Lanyi. Zhu Lanyi lowered his head and did not dare to look at her. Wang Xiuzhu's face was pale and her whole body was trembling.
"This...this shouldn't be possible." Madam Wang's heart was pounding, and she was unconvinced. "Madam Cui Liu, is there some misunderstanding here?"
"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding is there? I saw it with my own eyes." Cui Si said calmly, "If Madam Wang doesn't believe it, just look at this young man's lips. He still has Wang Xiuzhu's lip balm on him."
Mrs. Wang turned her head and saw that the lipstick on Wang Xiuzhu's lips had indeed faded a lot, but there were several red stains on her neck, and some had not been wiped off on the corners of Zhu Lanyi's lips.
Mrs. Wang's mind went blank: "You...you..."
"Are you crazy? Xiuzhu, are you crazy?"
Things had come to this point. Zhu Lanyi gritted his teeth and knelt down. "Aunt, my nephew and cousin are truly in love. Please help us."
Seeing this, Wang Xiuzhu also knelt before Madam Wang and said, "Mother, my daughter and my cousin have long been in love with each other, but we were already engaged, so we didn't dare to speak up. Now that things have come to this, I beg you to help me and my cousin get married."
"Please help me, mother. My daughter and my cousin are truly in love!"
Cui Si looked at the two men and saw that they had confessed, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She said those words to Qin Jiu just now because she was worried that Zhu Lanyi and Wang Xiuzhu would turn against her, saying that she had framed them and that the Cui family wanted to cancel the engagement.
Now that both of them have admitted it, things will be much easier.
"Madam Wang, please listen. Did I, Cui Liuniang, wrongly accuse them?" Cui Si said. "The daughter of the Wang family was engaged to my third brother, but she had an affair with someone else. The Wang family needs to give us, the Cui family, an explanation for this matter."
Mrs. Wang's head was buzzing and her face was pale. When she heard Cui Si speak, she regained some of her rationality and said with a sigh of relief:
"Then please ask Madam Cui Liu to wait in the hall. I will carefully interrogate these two people, discuss with my family, and then give the Cui family a reply."
"Very good. I'm thirsty too. I'd like to ask Madam Wang for a cup of tea."
Cui Si led Yanzhi, Songlu and several guards into Wang Jiaming's hall to wait.
Not long after, Mr. Cui Er came hurriedly from the academy with Cui Changyou.
After being caught in the act of adultery today, Cui Si wanted to take this opportunity to cancel the marriage proposal with Cui Jing, but as she was a junior and Cui Jing's sister, she naturally could not make the decision.
Therefore, after sending Qin Jiu away, she sent a guard on horseback to Xianyang Academy to invite Mr. Cui Er and Cui Changyou.
With his father and uncle around, Cui Jing might be able to back off from his relationship today.
Cui Erye's face was filled with worry. "What's going on? Liu Niang, it's fine if you're making trouble at home, but why are you causing trouble at Wang's house?"
"Am I fooling around?" Cui Si looked at him coldly. "Why don't you ask yourself what good marriage you have arranged for your son? Wang Xiuzhu and her cousin were secretly having an affair, and I caught them red-handed."
