Chapter 73 Blink When Threatened

When the news reached Xianyang City that the Northern Yan army had occupied Yuanzhou City and forced the imperial army to retreat to Yunzhou, everyone in Xianyang City was so excited that they couldn't wait to set off two strings of firecrackers.

However, Cui Si frowned.

Cui Hao was sitting with her, brewing plum wine. Seeing that she had been frowning for most of the day, he couldn't help but ask her:

"Sister, are you busy with something? Am I disturbing you?"

These days, Cui Hao is in the best mood.

Soon her mother would be able to enter the Cui family's house and be buried with her father. They would no longer be the ill-fated couple that could not be reunited even after death.

However, because there have been too many things that have troubled Cui Si recently, Cui Hao felt a little nervous, fearing that he would make his sister angry.

"No." Cui Si put the washed green plums on a winnowing basket to dry.

It is just the beginning of April now, and the green plums have just grown. They don’t taste very good, but it is a good time to make wine.

Previously, Cui Si and Cui Hao brewed peach blossom wine together, and she promised to brew green plum wine with Cui Hao. Today she has fulfilled her promise.

Taking advantage of the fact that the temperature is neither too hot nor too cold today, I brewed some more and buried it under a tree. When Cui Hao got married, I would take it out and drink some with my brothers and sisters.

"I'm thinking about Yunzhou."

"Yunzhou? What's there to think about Yunzhou?" Cui Hao was bewildered. "The King of Northern Yan has conquered Yuanzhou, so the next step is to attack Yunzhou."

Cui Si shook her head and gave no explanation.

In his previous life, Yan Xingchuan faced off against Jiang Shao, the prince of Duke Ping, in Yunzhou. That battle was particularly difficult and lasted for half a year.

Although we won narrowly in the end, the price we paid was not small.

After the Battle of Yunzhou, she married Yan Xingchuan, who had just returned from the battlefield and was still injured.

If he were to live again, Yan Xingchuan would have known that the battle against Jiang Shao would be difficult, and he might have been more cautious.

However, after experiencing a lifetime, Yan Xingchuan also knew that the destruction of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion was the work of the Pingguo Duke Mansion, and most of the tragedies that happened to the Lin family and Lin Qingning were caused by Jiang Shao. If he faced Jiang Shao again, he didn't know if he would go crazy.

When he goes crazy, he doesn't care about his life.

At this moment, Song Lu hurried over and handed her a letter: "Madam, Mr. San has a new letter."

"A letter from my third brother?" Cui Si's heart skipped a beat.

Why would Cui Jing write to me at this time?

Did something happen, or was there something she needed to do?

Thinking of this, Cui Si hurriedly wiped her wet hands with a handkerchief and opened the letter.

The letter did not mention these things, but instead talked about the situation after the Northern Yan army captured Yuanzhou City. It also asked whether her family was peaceful, how she was feeling, and how she got along with Jiang Cinian.

The more Cui Si looked, the more she frowned, and the more she felt something was wrong.

Sure enough, at the end of the letter, Cui Jing suddenly said, "Give my regards to my father."

The corners of Cui Si's mouth twitched.

What is this...was he threatened and blinked?

At the beginning, Mr. Cui insisted on marrying Song Rou. Although the three brothers and sisters were unable to stop him, they still had a lot of opinions about Mr. Cui.

Song Rou said that she and Mr. Cui were truly in love and couldn't help themselves. Then what about their mother Yan and Mr. Cui?

Is that a mistake? Then die and make room for them.

Although death is like the extinguishing of a light, and it seems that there is nothing wrong for Mr. Cui to remarry, they feel sorry for their mother, who has been with Mr. Cui for so many years and has worked hard to manage the family, but it turns out that she and her second wife are the true love.

Therefore, whenever they mentioned Mr. Cui, they were more or less dissatisfied. Saying things like "Give my regards to my father for me" was simply saying "I'm being threatened."

Cui Jing was in Yuanzhou, giving advice in the rear. How could he be threatened? Moreover, he was threatened to write a letter about nothing important.

I think the person who threatened him should be Yan.

Cui Si figured out the key, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she felt that Yan Xingchuan was really seriously ill.

"Sister, what's wrong? What did the third brother say?" Cui Hao saw that her face looked a little bad, so he asked.

"Nothing." Cui Si took a deep breath to calm herself down. "He was just unlucky and met a crazy person. I'll write him back later."

Yan Xingchuan is a really bad guy when he gets angry, and he is also shameless.

He has been busy with this until now, writing letters himself and asking Cui Jing to write letters. If she doesn't reply, she will probably come in person in a few days.

Thinking of this, Cui Si felt a headache again.

Even after all this, can't she get rid of Yan Xingchuan?

Is he a dog-skin plaster?

At this moment, a maid from the outer courtyard hurried over and bowed to the two of them after entering Qingwu Courtyard: "Sixth Madam, how are you? Good Madam, how are you? Sixth Madam, someone from the Yan family is here."

"Someone from the Yan family is coming?" Cui Si was surprised. It had been six days since she sent the letter, and she was now ready to go to several families in Xianyang City to ask.

"Who is coming?"

"Five or six people came, one of whom is the old lady of the Yan family."

Cui Si was really shocked: "Is it my grandmother who came in person?"

"That's right. We've already invited them to the main room, and sent someone to fetch the old lady. I've come here to report this to Sixth Lady."

Cui Si smiled and said, "Thank you for making the trip. Last year, my mother's dowry sent a lot of high-quality dates from the farm. Songlu, bring me a bowl."

At present, the land and shops that her mother Yan brought as a dowry are all managed by Cui Si. She has a lot of good things, so she often gives small favors to those who do things for her.

"Thank you, Sixth Lady." The maid smiled brightly upon hearing this. Delivering a message was no small matter, but in return she could get a bowl of dates. No wonder everyone wanted to run errands for Qingwu Courtyard.

"By the way, Sixth Lady, Madam Yan came with an old lady. I heard her call Madam Yan "Big Sister."

Big sister?

Cui Si was slightly surprised. She remembered that Old Madam Yan did have a younger sister, who was her aunt and married into the Gong family, which was also in Pingzhou City. When she accompanied her mother to visit the Yan family, she had also visited the Gong family several times.

Gong family?

Cui Si was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that she seemed to have heard her mother Yan say that this aunt had a daughter, but she was lost when she was young.

Could it be...

Thinking of this, Cui Si hurriedly urged Cui Hao to change clothes: "Don't wash those green plums, wash them when you come back. Go change your clothes quickly and follow me to the front yard to meet the elders."

If it is really as she guessed, then this fake show may become a real thing.

"Ah?" Cui Hao was a little confused. "But, that's my sister's maternal grandparents' home. Would it be inappropriate for me to go there..."

"Are you stupid? Have you forgotten what we planned?"

Cui Hao then remembered that they had written a letter to the Yan family, hoping that her mother could enter the Cui family as a daughter of the Yan family.

After figuring this out, Cui Hao's eyes flashed with surprise: "Okay, sister, okay, I'll go right away. I will definitely dress elegantly and appropriately..."
