Chapter 96 Chop Him Up and Feed Him to the Dogs

Mr. Wang’s wishful thinking could even bounce back in Cui Jing’s face.

Cui Jing's smile faded a bit. "The battle is still going on at Chongshan Pass. It's been going on for nearly ten days. What do you think?"

Old Master Wang's expression changed slightly, and he laughed heartily twice: "The Northern Yan army is invincible and undefeated. I think it's only a matter of time. You don't have to worry too much."

However, the matter of letting Cui Jing take the Wang family children away was never mentioned again.

This old fox.

The smile on Cui Jing's face faded, and he didn't want to continue to play along, so he directly stated his purpose:

"Grandpa, Jingzhi came here today to discuss the marriage between our two families. I received a letter from home earlier, telling them about this matter. I happened to be returning to Xianyang today, so I came to ask if it was true. I wonder if it's true or not?"

"What is true? What is false?" Mr. Wang laughed and said meaningfully.

“Some things, if you think they are true, they are true; if you think they are false, they are false.”

This is just playing with words with him.

Cui Jing's expression turned cold, and his fox eyes narrowed into a long, slender shape, revealing an unpredictable danger that made people dare not look directly at him.

He said, "Old man, I'm not your father. I won't fall for your tricks."

"I came to your house today to ask if it was true or not. Please tell me the truth. Both the Cui and Wang families are doing well. If you think I am young and naive and easy to deceive, then I am sorry."

"I naturally believe what the Cui family said, but I'll also give the Wang family a chance to explain. If they admit it, then we can cancel this marriage and leave it at that."

"But if the Wang family says that this did not happen, then everyone has their own story. Jingzhi will naturally send someone to investigate the truth. If they find that the Wang family is deceiving me, then this matter will not end well."

"To be honest, Master, Jingzhi followed Beiyan City all the way from Pingzhou to Yuanzhou, and then fought to Chongshan Pass. He has seen countless blood, and his hands are stained with blood. He is not a good person."

Mr. Wang's cheeks twitched, and he finally gave up some of his hopes and sighed:

"Forget it, since you've said that, how dare my Wang family offend the Cui family, who are at the peak of their power, and how dare we offend you, a favorite of the King of Northern Yan."

"Your marriage with Xiuzhu is now over."

Since it has been dropped, it means that this is indeed the case.

Given Mr. Wang's shrewd and fickle nature, how could he possibly give in unless he was in the wrong and couldn't afford to offend him?

It seems that Wang Xiuzhu can disappear now.

Cui Jing said: "In that case, let's do as we said before and have her pretend to be sick, saying she's not feeling well. Then the two families can cancel the marriage to save face for both families."

This means that she plans not to marry into the Wang family anymore.

Old Master Wang was unhappy: "Jingzhi, even if Sanniang (Wang Xiuzhu) is not right, there are other good girls in the Wang family. In terms of status and position, they are also worthy of you. Don't you want to take a look?"

"Speaking of which, this marriage was originally arranged by your father and I. It is a marriage that will last a hundred years between the Wang and Cui families. If the marriage is broken off now, wouldn't it go against the original intention of your father and me?"

"How about this? Our Fourth and Fifth Niang are both good. They once went to the Cui family to serve your old lady, and she was full of praise for them."

"How about Si Niang? I'll have someone bring her over right now. You two can meet her once, and then—"

"Grandpa." Cui Jing interrupted Grandpa Wang.

"Jingzhi gave you face when he agreed to this marriage. However, some things can only happen once and not twice. Although Wang's daughter is good, Jingzhi has no intention of marrying her. There is no need to say more."

How was this marriage arranged in the first place? It was Mr. Cui who was deceived by Old Man Wang. Mr. Cui, this fool, sold his son just like that.

Seeing that the Wang family had some reputation in Xianyang and Wang Xiuzhu herself was well-behaved and sensible, the Cui family agreed to the marriage.

As a result, Wang Xiuzhu herself did not know how to cherish her, and the Wang family still wanted to marry her off. It was really wishful thinking.

"Old Master should know that Jing Zhi is now the majority boss of the Cui Clan's Second Branch, and even half of the Cui Clan itself.

If Wang Shi behaves well, she will be safe in Xianyang. But if she acts recklessly, Cui Shi will definitely not be easily bullied."

Old Master Wang's heart trembled, and he sighed again: "Forget it, forget it. Since you have said so, the Wang family will not force you. Just consider it as a missed opportunity. It's a pity for you. You were supposed to be my son-in-law."

Cui Jingzhi is no longer the young boy he used to be. He has grown up and has a bright future. He is someone the Wang family cannot afford to offend.

There might be a time in the future when I need his help.

Cui Jing smiled and said, "Thank you for your understanding, old man. This matter is settled. Jingzhi has something else to do, so I'll take my leave now. I'll come back to drink with you when I return victorious one day."

After Cui Jing finished talking with Mr. Wang, he stood up and said goodbye.

But he had just left Mr. Wang's yard and had not walked far when a man suddenly jumped out from behind a tree.

Cui Jing hurriedly took a step back and avoided being hit.

Cui Jing looked closely and saw that it was Wang Xiuzhu. His face darkened and he took two steps back to move further away from her.

Wang Xiuzhu's eyes were red and tears were streaming down her face. She looked very pitiful.

Seeing Cui Jing retreat, she stepped forward again.

"Stop." Cui Jing's face turned cold. "What are you going to do?"

"Cui... Cui Jingzhi." Wang Xiuzhu clutched a handkerchief in her hand, tears streaming down her face as she tried to speak. She looked extremely weak and pitiful. "I... I..."

Cui Jing felt a headache and immediately said, "Don't worry, I have already made an agreement with your grandfather that I will not marry you."

"No." Wang Xiuzhu shook her head vigorously, "Can you...can you tell grandfather that you want to marry me..."

Cui Jing: "?!"

Cui Jing suspected that he had misheard: "What did you say?"

He is not bothering with the Wang family or Wang Xiuzhu at the moment. This is already very tolerant and generous, okay?

And asked him to marry her?

Does he look like a sucker?

Is the crown on his head green?

Wang Xiuzhu said, "Grandfather said... He said that if you don't marry me, I will become a monk. My cousin has also been locked up by my grandfather, and he said he would beat him to death..."

Wang Xiuzhu only now felt afraid.

She didn't want to become a nun, nor did she want her lover to be beaten to death.

"Cui Jingzhi, I beg you, I agree to marry you, as long as you ask grandfather to not beat my cousin to death..."

Cui Jing probably didn't expect that he would encounter such a ridiculous thing.

His fiancée is having an affair with someone, but she acts like, "I'm willing to sacrifice myself to marry you, and I only ask you to plead for my lover."

"Actually, you don't have to worry about this." Cui Jing suddenly spoke.

Wang Xiuzhu was delighted and was about to say something when she heard Cui Jing say:

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. He even dared to touch my, Cui Jing's, fiancée. He is simply courting death.

Why does your old man need to do this? Wen Qiu, go ask the Wang family for the man, chop him into pieces, and feed him to the dogs."
