After some pleasantries, Cui Yu stayed in Prince Gong's mansion.
He was taken to the guest room. When Cui'er, who lived next door, knew him, she knelt down in front of him and said, "Fifth Master, Cui'er has met you before."
Cui Yu was stunned for a long time.
"You...?"
Cui Er said with tears in her eyes: "Fifth Master, I am Cui Er who serves Sister 괗께."
Cui Yu looked at it for a long time, and finally found something familiar in this face.
When Sister 괗 took the maid away from home, he was actually still very 껗.
He was his parents' youngest child. How old was he at that time?
In his memory, Cui'er was a very weak woman.
Now she has gained weight and become a middle-aged woman.
More than ten years have passed, and things and people have changed.
"It's you, Tsui."
Cui Er nodded and said, "Fifth Master, are you here to avenge Sister Wo?"
Cui Yu pursed his lips and looked at Chu Xuanche and Ruan Xinchen beside him.
Ruan Xinchen helped Cui'er up and said, "Aunt Cui, you go and rest first. I'll take care of the rest."
Cui'er nodded, bowed, and then left.
In fact, Cui Er is a good person, but her ability and knowledge are limited, otherwise the master and servant would not have been bullied so badly.
They don’t know what the Cui family is thinking now, so how can they dare to talk about revenge for Cui Ming?
After Cui Er left, Cui Yu frowned and said, "I need to find out what happened first."
Ruan Xinchen raised his head and looked at him, "Fifth Uncle, I want to know the Cui family's version first."
Cui Yu raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"
"Well, when my mother got into such a big trouble, why didn't the Cui family stop it? They even sent her a dowry."
Cui Yu said: "Because we thought that was what she wanted."
"what?"
"In fact, your parents knew about your mother's correspondence with a man outside. Later, she and your father got together and wrote a letter to the family..."
She heard a completely different version from Cui Yu.
It turned out that her family didn't abandon her, but because the letter she wrote to them was switched.
Cui Yu said that in the letter received by the family, Cui Ming clearly told them that she had found the person she was communicating with, and that person was her brother-in-law.
There were some misunderstandings between them, which led to him marrying his sister.
But it didn't matter, she didn't care whether she was a wife or a concubine, as long as she loved him.
She was willing to be Ruan Hong's concubine.
At first her family was reluctant and sent someone to pick her up.
The two places were so far apart that it took several months to send letters and travel back and forth.
When people passing by saw Cui Ming, her belly was bulging.
At this time, the woman said she was pregnant, so how could she regret it?
They were persuaded by Mrs. Ruan and returned without any hesitation.
When the people who returned told their mother what they had seen and heard at Ruan's house, their mother became so angry that she fell ill.
She had been in poor health since giving birth to several children, and this illness completely ruined her health. During those two years, their mother had been bedridden.
Later, after hearing the news that Cui Ming had died in childbirth, Cui's mother finally ran out of energy and died.
She died just over a month after Cui Ming.
Half a year later, Cui's father also died of illness.
They directly cut off contact with the Ruan family.
Several uncles have been angry with Cui Ming for a long time, thinking that her family spoiled her and made her do such a ridiculous thing.
He died young and his parents were pissed off to death.
Until they received Chu Xuanche's letter a few days ago, they didn't know the secret behind what happened that year.
"Xinchen, the letters are all here, they..."
"Wait." Ruan Xinchen probably guessed what was going on. She was furious, and her chest was heaving violently.
"Don't say it yet. Don't say it. Tomorrow... No, wait a while. After lunch, we'll go to Ruan's house together. In front of Cui Yun and Ruan Hong, the three of us will face off and tell everything that happened."
It seems that what I told you last time was not the whole truth. Here is the truth.
…
After dinner, they went to Ruan's house together.
Since the last incident, Ruan Hong and Mrs. Ruan have been separated.
The two have been in love for more than ten years, and now they haven't seen each other for a long time.
This time they came and explained their purpose. This was the first time they met in these days.
When Ruan Xinchen saw Madam Ruan again, he found that she had lost a lot of weight.
In the past, she was plump, covered in jewels and jewels, radiant, and looked like a lady.
Now there was no spirit in his eyes, and he quickly became listless. He looked completely different, like a completely different person.
When she saw Ruan Xinchen, there was undisguised hatred in her eyes.
And when she saw the man sitting next to Ruan Hong, her eyes changed from inquiry, to shock, to surprise... She didn't know what she was thinking about, and she began to feel uneasy.
"You...?"
Cui Yu smiled and said, "Big sister, how are you? I'm 5 years old."
"Five?"
"You must not remember me. I was this old when you got married."
He gestured his height.
Mrs. Ruan smiled unpleasantly, pulling the corners of her mouth, "My dear, you have grown so big."
"Well, it's been almost ten years. I've grown up naturally."
"Why did you come here so suddenly? You didn't even tell me in advance so I could prepare myself."
Cui Yu looked at Chu Xuanche and said, "I hadn't thought about coming here originally, but my nephew-in-law asked me to come. I thought that my two sisters have been married for so many years, and I have never come to see you. Since my nephew-in-law invited me, I came to see you."
There was another reason why they didn't come before. They didn't know what the royal family thought.
Now, since Chu Xuanche has written to ask him to come, it must be allowed by the emperor.
After so many years, it’s time for the Cui family’s man to come back.
Mrs. Ruan shifted her gaze to Chu Xuanche, and her dislike for him was the same as her dislike for Ruan Xinchen.
She has been reflecting on herself these days.
What went wrong to end up like this?
She thought it through.
Having come to this point, I can only blame myself for not being cruel enough and being too kind.
I thought that a girl without parents to protect her would not be able to cause any trouble, so keeping her alive was a good deed for me.
Now it seems that I underestimated the enemy.
Keeping her was the worst decision he had ever made in his life.
“Oh, now you see it.”
When she heard that he was invited by Chu Xuanche, she lost interest and said, "I don't have anything to show you. Just leave after you've seen it."
After saying this, she turned around and was about to leave.
"Stop." Ruan Hong, who hadn't finished speaking, said coldly.
Mrs. Ruan stood still, but still straightened her back stubbornly. She took a deep breath, as if she was trying her best to endure something.
"I haven't explained it clearly yet. Why are you running so fast?"
Mrs. Ruan couldn't bear it at all after hearing such sarcastic words.
She turned around and looked at Ruan Hong, lowering her eyebrows and saying, "I wonder if the master has any other instructions?"
"Let me ask you, where did all the letters Cui Ming sent to the Cui family go?"
Mrs. Ruan's throat thumped, "A letter?"
