Cui Changan chose to store the jewelry.
Then the two of them welcomed Xiao Wu's "parents".
When they saw Xiao Wu, the two elders' eyes were filled with tears: "My son..."
Xiao Wu could tell that this was not acting, but a remembrance of their deceased children.
If their daughter also grew up, she would be as old as Xiao Wu, standing in front of him with such a charming smile, calling him daddy and mother...
Xiao Wu stepped forward with emotion and helped the two of them sit down.
The two old men had gray hair and thin bodies, and looked like they were in their seventies, but Xiao Wu learned from Cui Changan that the two old men were only in their early fifties.
Obviously, they were heartbroken because they had a daughter when they were in their thirties but were unable to raise her.
Cui Changan solemnly bowed to Mr. and Mrs. Fu and explained the situation to them in person again.
Master Fu nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay..."
They were so disheartened that they thought they would die alone in this life, with no one to see them off. But their former student Cui Changan said that he would take care of them in their old age and let them have another daughter...
Why wouldn't you want to?
The news that Master Fu had moved into the Cui family mansion spread quickly.
Xiao Wu’s “life experience” was also “dug out” by someone with ulterior motives.
All the noble families in the capital were jealous: How could such a cold stove be set on fire by the daughter of a poor scholar?
So when Cui Changan went out, he began to encounter "accidents" frequently.
The daughter, who was being chased and molested, rushed to Cui Changan's carriage and asked for help;
The concubine's daughter, who was treated coldly by her stepmother, asked Cui Changan for help;
The passionate and straightforward daughter of the general stopped the carriage and asked for advice...
There was also an old friend of the Cui family who had a clear goal and invited him to dinner at his house.
Cui Chang'an rejected them one by one. If someone needed help, he would ask his servant to find a nearby shop and give them some money to report to the police.
Gradually, everyone knew that Cui Changan valued Miss Fu very much and had no intention of changing her.
Everyone's eyes began to focus on Miss Fu.
When Xiao Wu received the first invitation, she was very surprised: "They want to invite me to appreciate the flowers?"
It’s clear that you don’t know each other?
Cui Changan nodded: "That's right. But if you don't want to go, you can refuse."
Xiao Wu threw the invitation aside and said, "Then reject it."
Cui Changan asked the doorman to reject all subsequent invitations.
There were many tentative messages from various companies, but they were all rejected, and Miss Fu's reputation of being "unworldly and afraid to go out and see people" spread.
When Cui Changan heard these discussions and inquiries, he frowned slightly but did not refute.
When he got home, he felt a little upset.
Xiao Wu saw it: "What's wrong with you?"
Cui Changan did not hide anything from her and told her all the rumors outside. He was mainly worried.
"I'm afraid those rumors will reach your ears and you will be unhappy."
Xiao Wu laughed: "What's the big deal? I just don't want to see them."
But it would be unpleasant to say directly that I don’t want to see them, so let’s just think of it as “not daring to go out and see people”.
Cui Changan told Xiao Wu about his ideas.
"The late emperor exterminated my Cui family because he was afraid that the Cui family would become too powerful to control. If they joined forces with anyone, it would put pressure on them."
"Your Majesty's intention in using me is very clear."
"He wants me to be his sword and a loyal subject..."
I have no personal relationship with any official and I am only loyal to Your Majesty.
Seeing through all this, it is impossible to say that there is no resentment in my heart.
But what can he do?
He was alone and had no ability to fight the royal family. If he wanted to escape, he would not have come back.
Now that I'm back, I have to do something.
For example: For the sake of the people of the world, put aside the hatred with the royal family.
Cui Changan didn't dare to reveal these thoughts at all in public. Only in front of Xiao Wu did he dare to speak quietly.
Xiao Wu could see his pain, so she sighed, walked behind him, and massaged his temples.
Cui Changan fell tiredly into the armchair so that he could be closer to Xiao Wu.
The aura of Xiao Wu made him feel at ease and allowed him to let down his guard.
It was as if: in this vast world, they were the only two who relied on and trusted each other.
With His Majesty's support, people with ulterior motives dare not come to the door, but Miss Tang is unwilling to accept this.
Seeing that the wedding date is approaching, how can we let them have their wish?
She made an appointment with Cui Changan.
Cui Changan refused.
She sent people to block Cui Changan's carriage.
Cui Changan refused to get off the carriage and sent a message to Miss Tang: "I am going to get married, and it is not right for me to meet you privately."
"Please respect yourself, young lady."
When the news reached the Tang residence, Miss Tang burst into tears: "He must be blaming me! He was so good to me before..."
While Cui Changan was in court, Miss Tang paid a visit to Miss Fu.
The doorman tried to stop her from entering, but Miss Tang was prepared. She sent someone to hold the doorman down and rushed in.
Xiao Wu was very surprised to see the visitor: Miss Tang was wearing an extremely fine brocade long dress, with a pearl and jade hairpin and head ornament, her wealth was eye-catching.
To be fair, Miss Tang is pretty, but her chin raised high gives off a sense of arrogance.
In comparison, Xiao Wu's refreshing light green dress does not look luxurious enough.
She only wore a tassel hairpin made of white jade inlaid with pink pearls on her head, and a pair of not-too-big pink pearl earrings. She exuded a gentleness.
Miss Tang saw that she didn't move, and thought she was frightened, and she became even more proud: "Are you Miss Fu?"
Xiao Wu straightened her spine, sat up straight, and looked at the girl in front of her calmly.
"I am."
"Who is this lady who came uninvited?"
The maid next to her stepped forward and said angrily, "How dare you! My young lady is the legitimate daughter of Minister Tang. How dare you, a mere lowly person, be so arrogant when you see my young lady?"
"Today I will teach you..."
As the old woman said this, she was about to step forward and grab Xiao Wu so that she could give her a few solid slaps.
The Cui family's doorman, who had finally broken free from the restraints, rushed in and was furious when he saw the scene in front of him.
But when he saw that Miss Tang brought so many people with her, he knew that he could not help alone, so he just ran towards the palace gate.
We have to inform the young master.
Otherwise Miss Fu will suffer a great loss.
By the time the news reached the imperial study, half an hour had passed.
His Majesty the Emperor and Cui Changan were both shocked.
No one expected that the young lady of the Tang family would have the courage to break into the Cui family and bully a penniless and powerless woman.
Is this Miss Tang really brainless?
Or was it condoned by Minister Tang?
What exactly does the Tang family want to do?
The emperor's face darkened: "Changan, how do you want to deal with this matter?"
Cui Changan stood up with a pale face: "Your Majesty, please let me handle this matter myself. Please send some people to me so that I can drive away the evil guest."
"Can."
When Cui Changan hurriedly returned home with a hundred Jinwu Guards, his hands and feet were cold with panic.
I heard that Miss Tang brought more than a dozen servants, more than a dozen maids and maids. Xiao Wu was alone, how could she stop them? !
But when he rushed in with his men, he was stunned by the scene before him.
There were people lying on the ground, all crying out in pain.
But Miss Tang did not lie down.
She was tied up with her four limbs huddled together and she was crying bitterly.
He looked extremely miserable.
But Xiao Wu was sitting on the steps, looking bored.
Seeing Cui Changan bringing people back, she stood up and shouted in surprise: "Brother Changan, you are finally back!"
Cui Changan and Jinwu Guards: ...(End of this chapter)
