"Yue'er, are you feeling unwell?"
Cui Yuan saw that Liu Yue seemed to be worried these days, especially today.
"The results will be announced tomorrow, and I want you to go with me tomorrow to see the results. I'm worried you haven't recovered enough. With so many students going to the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall tomorrow, I'm worried they'll squeeze you and hurt you."
Cui Yuan smiled and stretched out his hand to Liu Yue, "Help me walk in the yard now. I feel like I've recovered well. I feel the wound on my butt has scabbed over."
Liu Yue checked his wound and found that there was nothing wrong, so she helped him up from the bed.
Cui Yuan didn't dare to sit down, so he put his feet on the ground and stood up.
“Hiss—”
Although the wound on my butt has scabbed over, my bones still ache when I walk.
"Yuan, go back and lie down."
If I show up in front of Cui Zhehan like this tomorrow, I will definitely be scolded.
"No, just bear with it. It's not like I can't walk."
After Cui Yuan finished speaking, he stuck his butt out and limped to the yard as if he had a limp.
Liu Yue followed closely behind him, feeling a little distressed seeing him like this.
They have a son, but they cannot raise him by their side. They have clearly cooperated with the master of the house and sacrificed the child, but they still cannot get the master's favor.
She sometimes wondered why the head of the family was so sure that taking the child to the Meng family would not arouse any suspicion?
The fact is indeed true, Yunqian looks a bit like Meng Zilu.
If you don't know that the child is your own, who can say that they are not father and son?
Liu Yue has always been confused about this matter.
Liu Yue sometimes thought that it was a little unbelievable that the Cui family had taken the initiative to show goodwill to the small merchant family, the Liu family.
Big families have always looked down upon small businesses.
She remembered that once the Cui family ordered a truckload of wine, and when her uncle and his family were about to leave, there was a mess at the wine shop and they had to rush over to clean up the mess.
It was her father's turn to deliver wine to the Cui family.
When her uncle left, he specifically asked her to go with him, because he was worried that her father, a scholar, would say something nonsense when he arrived at the Cui family, so he asked her to look after her father to avoid offending the Cui family.
After all, the Cui family is a big customer of the Liu family!
It was that day when she met Cui Yuan who was coming back from school, and she had a good impression of him at that time.
But the next day, the Cui family came to propose marriage, and she agreed without thinking.
On the day of the wedding, she found out that Cui Yuan had a good impression of her when he saw her, and had never thought that they would get married.
After all, the marriage alliance that the Cui family requires must be helpful to their family. The Liu family is just a wine merchant and a small workshop, which does not meet the requirements of the Cui family at all.
When she thinks back on it now, she always feels that all this was deliberately arranged by the head of the family.
He seemed to have known from the beginning that the child she gave birth to would not arouse the suspicion of the Meng family.
During her pregnancy, the head of the family invited a master from the capital to come to her yard and take a look from afar.
She saw from afar that day that the head of the family looked very happy.
She mistakenly thought that her son would be favored by the master of the house.
But I never expected the situation to be like this today.
Now that she thinks about it, she was chosen by the Cui family and is just a chess piece in the hands of the head of the family.
Fortunately, Cui Yuan treats her well, which is a blessing in disguise.
She is extremely anxious now. After tomorrow, Madam Su will definitely go to the Meng Mansion to take someone away, and Madam Su will definitely know that Yunqian is her son.
The Cui and Meng families had a quarrel, and the master's plan was ruined. Naturally, the consequences would have to be borne by the third branch!
What she was most worried about was that Yunqian would not recognize him!
Seeing that Liu Yue didn't catch up, Cui Yuan said, "Yue'er, come and help me."
"Oh, here it comes."
"Xiao Yu, I've already discussed this with Wu Huaiyuan and the other nine students. They'll act accordingly tomorrow."
"What about Luo Xian? What does Lord Qi say?"
"Your Excellency has already investigated Luo Xian's several deputy commanders. Naturally, there is a deputy commander who wants to replace Luo Xian. Tomorrow, this person will restrain Luo Xian."
Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment, "Now all that's missing is Liu Yue. I hope she can tell the truth about Song Wan's difficult labor."
As night fell, Liu Yue became increasingly uneasy...
"Mother." Xi held Liu Yue's face and looked at it carefully. "Did grandma say something unpleasant again?"
"there is none left."
Xi girl pouted and said in a baby voice: "Mom, lie to me, I know you are unhappy now."
Liu Yue rubbed her little head and tucked her into the quilt. "Be good, go to sleep quickly. Tomorrow we will accompany your father to see the list. If your father passes the exam, we will have the opportunity to follow him to the capital in the future."
Liu Yue really wanted to break away from the control of the Cui family and move out with Cui Yuan.
She will definitely be able to make a good living by brewing wine, and it would be even better if her son could come back to her.
"So we don't live here anymore?"
Liu Yue nodded, "Do you want to go to the capital?"
Xi's little brain turned, "Will I not be able to see my little cousin if I go to the capital?"
Although Xi girl is small, Liu Yue always holds her in her arms and looks at the Meng father and son from afar.
She didn't notice it at first, but after a while she realized that her mother was looking at the father and son of the Meng family.
That time, when her parents took her to that house to fly kites, she found out that the older brother was actually her cousin.
She doesn't understand.
If he was her cousin, why did her mother always look at him from a distance before, instead of approaching to greet him?
These thoughts just flashed through her mind. She was still young and didn't think about them too deeply.
"When his father passes the imperial examination, he will take your cousin to the capital, and we will meet there then."
"oh."
"Do you like your little cousin?"
"I like him. He even poked my face. I feel like my cousin doesn't hate me. I happen to be going out tomorrow. Can I go meet my cousin?"
"They should be going to check out the rankings tomorrow. Maybe we can run into them on the street."
"If we meet them on the street tomorrow, will mother still watch them from afar?"
Liu Yue was shocked. How could Sister Xi know?
Every time I carry Sister Xi out, doesn’t she sleep in my arms?
"Why don't you go to your cousin's house and see him?"
Liu Yue couldn't explain, "...Okay, go to sleep. You'll see your little cousin tomorrow."
"Okay, mother will sleep too."
After Cui Xi fell asleep, a dark shadow flashed past the window.
Liu Yue didn't disturb anyone. She picked up the note under the window, unfolded it and glanced at the contents:
[Tomorrow at 9:00 PM, Yuxiang Tea Soup]
After reading it, Liu Yue threw it into the tea stove and burned it.
Is Su Xingren so sure that she will go?
"Madam, the note has been passed to Madam Cui."
"Okay, Su Ying, go down and rest."
Su Xingyi hugged her from behind and said, "Can Madam Cui come tomorrow? After all, she is still under house arrest."
"She will come. Tomorrow is the big day for the four young masters of the Cui family to review the list. Cui Zhehan will definitely let Liu Yue accompany the injured Cui Yuan to review the list."
"Tomorrow, when she sees signs that the Cui family is about to fall, she will reveal the truth of what happened back then..."
