Chapter 225 Cui's Blow
After Cui was taken away by Bilian, Rulan crawled to Zhu's side and said, "Master, will she cause trouble for you later? Or the eldest master, if he finds out."
Rulan really didn't dare to think about the consequences. You know, if Young Master Zhu gets ruthless, he will kill people.
Zhu pulled her hair fearlessly, her face full of pride and joy, and shouted loudly: "What are you afraid of! Now that the Cui family has been raided, who is Cui Ruyi! She doesn't even have a family of her own, and yet she dares to come to the Bai Mansion to cause trouble for me, she deserves to be beaten to it by others!
I want to see what happens to her! My elder brother? My elder brother has already gone to serve in the army! When he comes back, maybe he will thank me! Hahahaha"
Rulan just felt that her master was crazy.
Cui came to her senses only after being carried back to Zhu's house. She rushed to the main courtyard in a panic and questioned Madam Zhu, "Mother, you also know that your husband has a mistress, right? You also know about the existence of that bastard, right?"
Mrs. Zhu had been exhausted by the affairs of her son, daughter-in-law and grandson. Suddenly, she saw Cui Ruyi acting like a crazy woman and frowned subconsciously, "What are you doing?"
Cui Ruyi completely collapsed and screamed, "Ah, you all bully me! You all bully me! Yes! My natal family is gone! But I, Cui Ruyi, gave birth to a son for Zhu Yixuan! Even if that bitch outside really has a child, so what? Life or death is up to me! Hahaha, Zhu Yixuan! You are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!"
"What is she talking about?" Mrs. Zhu looked at the nanny beside her in fear.
The nanny was also confused.
After Cui Ruyi was forcibly sent back, the nanny told Mrs. Zhu what she had learned.
Mrs. Zhu was surprised to see her happy face, "What's going on?"
The nanny grabbed the handkerchief excitedly, "Madam, the eldest lady told the eldest young lady herself that the eldest young master had a concubine outside, and that concubine even gave birth to a child for the eldest young master!"
Mrs. Zhu's eyes lit up instantly and she asked urgently, "Boy or girl?"
Mammy shook her head, "I don't know about this old slave."
Madam Zhu couldn't sit still any longer, so she stood up and said, "Let's go! Let's go to the Bai Mansion."
Mrs. Zhu had just finished washing up and Rulan was applying medicine to her. When she heard that Madam Zhu had arrived, she hurried out to meet her.
"Mom, you are not here to call me to task, are you?" Zhu pouted, her anger still lingering.
Mrs. Zhu was immediately distressed when she saw the wounds on her daughter's body. She scolded her with a look of dismay, "You! You have fought with her for so many years, but you have never won? How come you are so forgetful?"
Zhu curled her lips and said, "Who said that? I won this time! Cui Ruyi will have a hard time in the future!"
Madam Zhu looked at her fiercely, "Tell me honestly, is your eldest brother really keeping a mistress outside?"
"It's absolutely true!" Zhu sat down next to Madam Zhu with her eyes wide open and began to complain, "Mom, you don't know how scary my eldest brother is! I just used this secret to exchange with him, and he almost killed me. Fortunately, he let me go after I repeatedly promised not to leak the secret. But he doesn't allow me to go back to my parents' home, and he doesn't want me to talk to you in private. I'm afraid of death, so I can only stay at my husband's house honestly."
Madam Zhu was speechless and poked Zhu's head fiercely, "You pig brain! Your eldest brother is so low-key that he definitely doesn't want people to know. You even used this to exchange with him. You are lucky to be alive until now! Tell me, how much do you know?"
Zhu shrugged, "I just knew that the concubine had given birth to a child for my eldest brother. My eldest brother warned me, but I didn't dare to investigate! But he asked my husband for a family of servants to serve the concubine. I heard that my eldest brother even restored their family to good status. I can't figure this out."
Mrs. Zhu's eyes flashed with a few dark rays of light. She came up with an idea. She looked up at Zhu seriously and warned her, "This matter ends here. You are not allowed to mention it to others. If others ask, just say that you had a quarrel with your sister-in-law and deliberately angered her. Got it?"
"Why? Mother! That is the bloodline of our Zhu family! No matter whether it is a boy or a girl, we have to recognize it! Are you really afraid of Cui Ruyi?" Zhu was very unwilling.
Mrs. Zhu glared at her. "What nonsense! Kang Sheng's health is getting worse and worse. I don't know if he can survive this winter. Your eldest brother is not here. If something happens at this time, the Zhu family will be in chaos. Are you so unwilling to see your family doing well? You will be embarrassed when your family is in trouble?
Ask yourself, if it weren't for the Cui family being raided, would you dare to go against the Cui family today? If the Zhu family fell, would you still be able to have a good ending in the Bai family?"
Zhu was silent.
Seeing that she had listened to him, Mrs. Zhu sighed, turned and left.
She managed to appease Mrs. Zhu, but she couldn't suppress Mrs. Cui.
Ever since she learned that Zhu Yixuan had betrayed her, Cui went crazy and wanted to kill Zhu Yixuan's mistress and the bastard, and she even used her dowry to find someone to investigate.
It was not until the end of the year that we found Yong'an Lane, where Ke Yunyun and her son had previously settled.
Cui led her men and charged forward aggressively, but ended up finding nothing, which almost made her die of anger.
A normal person would not be able to endure such hardships in the cold winter, let alone Cui, who was exhausted and fell ill all of a sudden.
Mrs. Zhu was extremely worried about this. Before Cui could get better, Cui's only child, Zhu Kangsheng, died because of a phlegm stuck in his throat.
The main reason for Zhu Kangsheng's death was that Cui was seriously ill, and some of his servants had to be transferred to take care of Cui, which led to the tragedy.
Cui couldn't bear the blow, screamed in pain and fainted.
Mrs. Zhu was so angry that she fell ill.
The family was in chaos, and Mr. Zhu had no choice but to write a letter to Zhu Yixuan, explaining the situation in detail.
At this time, Zhu Yixuan was following a large group of people to the border. Longxia Kingdom was in the east, and the two countries were at war. They were heading southeast. Although it was the coldest time of the year, it was obviously much warmer than they had expected. In about ten days, they would be able to reach the border.
During the break, Zhu Yixuan silently looked at Shen Yi's group. Seeing that they had been walking for most of the day and still had hot sugar water to drink, he couldn't help but envy them.
Bai Feng followed his line of sight and curled his lips in displeasure, "Brother, those are just low-class people who are used to a hard life and are just trying to have fun in misery. There's nothing to see."
Zhu Yixuan glanced at him coldly and looked away, "If there is sugar water now to make me happy in the midst of suffering, I would be happy to do so."
Bai Feng frowned even deeper, totally disagreeing, "It's not that we can't afford it, it's just that we were not prepared enough in such a hurry! When we get to the border, won't my uncle be able to contact those merchants? Then we can get supplies!"
This is the motivation that supports Bai Feng to get here.
On the day of departure, he did not bring much stuff with him because of his resistance. In addition, the journey was arduous, so he ate all the food. Now he is penniless and relies on the northwest wind to fill his stomach. If Zhu Yixuan had not mentioned that there were merchants he knew at the border, he would have collapsed long ago.
