The second son of the Cui family, the son-in-law of Lord Liu, was bewitched by a prostitute. He stayed overnight in a brothel and did not return home for several days and nights. He spent a huge amount of money on the prostitute and even wanted to redeem her and take her as his concubine, which caused an uproar.
Everyone who has met Cui Mubai would say that the second son of the Cui family is a gentleman and a man who dotes on his wife. He has neither concubines nor maids at home, but whenever he brings his wife to a banquet, he always stays by her side affectionately.
He and Liu Yaozhen have always been the loving couple most envied by the ladies in the capital.
But now such a romantic affair has happened, which is both surprising and makes people sigh that people's hearts are fickle.
After hearing this, the two elders of the Cui family were so angry that they ordered people to go to the Red Mansion to tie Cui Mubai back. The eldest son of the Cui family hurriedly took the servants to the Red Mansion.
Cui Mubai was drunk, disheveled, and lying on a prostitute's bed. When he saw the eldest son of the Cui family, he looked as if he didn't know what day it was.
Seeing this, Cui Muyan, the eldest son of the Cui family, was so angry that he grabbed the tea on the table and poured it all over Cui Mubai, saying angrily: "Second brother, how can you be so disrespectful? Zhenniang has only been gone for a few days? You have made such a fuss? How can we explain this to Lord Liu? How can you face Zhenniang when she comes back?"
Cui Mubai stood up with his eyes half drunken, "Brother, why are you here? Where's Yue Lian? Yue Lian, come and meet my brother..."
Cui Muyan was embarrassed and angry when he heard that he dared to call that prostitute. In an impulse, he slapped Cui Mubai in the face: "Wake up! Dad asked me to take you home."
Cui Mubai was stunned for a moment, as if he had been stunned.
Seeing this, Cui Muyan ordered the servant of Cui Mansion, "Change the clothes for the second young master."
The servant came forward to change Cui Mubai into a set of clean clothes, but Cui Mubai suddenly stood up and said, "No need."
He looked at Cui Muyan and pleaded, "Brother, I want to marry Yue Lian. If my parents don't allow it, please say a few good words for me in front of them later."
Cui Muyan was so angry that he was speechless. He pointed at Cui Mubai for a long time without saying anything.
"You... you are ridiculous!" Cui Muyan said angrily, "I see you are still drunk, so why don't you change your clothes? Go back home and sober up!"
Cui Mubai's next words made Cui Muyan's face change: "Brother, Yue Lian is pregnant with my child..."
Cui Muyan looked at Cui Mubai in disbelief, "What did you say!? You actually let a prostitute get pregnant with your child, you... you are so confused! If the Liu family finds out, have you ever thought about how it will end?"
Cui Mubai said calmly, "Yaozhen has been married to me for two years and she hasn't gotten pregnant yet. I am just taking a concubine in now. When Yuelian gives birth to a child, I will raise her in Yaozhen's care. What can the Liu family say?"
Cui Muyan looked at his second brother and felt that he was very strange. How could such words come out of his mouth? Is this still his second brother who is polite and upright?
“Tell this to your parents.” Cui Muyan said this and ordered the servant to carry Cui Mubai out of the Red Mansion.
Sitting in the carriage, Cui Muyan was uneasy. He looked at Cui Mubai several times and saw that he was calm and had almost no ripples. He was about to say something but stopped. When he was almost at the door of his house, Cui Muyan said, "Second brother, did you encounter any trouble?"
Cui Mubai smiled when he heard this, "I just want to bring a concubine home, why are you making such a fuss, brother? It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines."
"But the men of our Cui family have been taught the ways of a gentleman since they were young. Who has ever been to a brothel? Even if you want to take a concubine, you should first ask Zhenniang for help and take in a concubine with a clean family background and a kind and honest temperament, instead of looking for a prostitute from a brothel!" Cui Muyan said sadly, "Zhenniang has a deep affection for you. If you act like this, won't it make her sad?"
