Chapter 458 Threat
"Third sister."
Zheng Xun's house is neither big nor small. It is a two-story house. It is quite spacious for the Cui family to live in.
Cui Rumei had just finished washing up and was about to rest when she saw Cui Rulin lift the curtain and walk in.
"Fourth sister." Seeing Cui Rulin coming, Cui Rumei couldn't rest any longer. She asked the maid to bring her a cloak, and then sat on the kang in the outer room with Cui Rulin. She asked, "Why are you here so late?"
"I'm upset and can't sleep." Cui Rulin said with a pout.
"What's wrong? Are you worried about something?" Cui Rumei asked hurriedly.
In terms of closeness, Cui Rumei is definitely closer to Cui Rulin. Her eldest uncle and second uncle's family are the children of her grandfather's first wife, and her grandmother has always disliked them. Although she knows in her heart that many things her grandmother does are a bit too much, after all, her grandmother is the elder, so she can't interfere. It's also not good for her to be too close to her eldest uncle and second uncle's family at home.
Over time, the relationship became somewhat distant.
This time, her grandfather listened to her grandmother and forced her uncles to bring her and her sister to Beijing. Of course, she could see that other people were alienated from her and her sister.
But what does it matter if she can see it? If she were in the shoes of her uncles, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to be so magnanimous.
She also knew Cui Rulin's personality. She relied on her grandmother's love for her at home and wanted to be the best in everything.
So, seeing Cui Rulin's unhappy face, Cui Rumei thought that Cui Rulin felt neglected, so she advised: "Fourth sister, we are not at home when we are away from home, so we should just get by as long as we can. Uncle and Second Uncle have been very good to us."
Cui Rulin was originally upset about something else, but when she heard Cui Rumei say this, she curled her lips and looked at her: "You are quite generous."
"To be fair, it's already very good that my uncles can do this," Cui Rumei advised again.
"Hmph." Cui Rulin pouted, looking unhappy. "I didn't realize you were such a good person. Look at how the uncles treated my older sister, and how they treated us."
Cui Rumei sighed and said, "How can it be the same? Isn't grandma's treatment of us different from that of my elder and second sisters?"
"Third sister, are you saying that grandma is partial to us?" Cui Rulin looked at Cui Rumei unhappily.
"No." Cui Rumei's words were not as eloquent as Cui Rulin's. Seeing Cui Rulin talking about her like that, she hurriedly said, "I..."
"Hmph, I'll go back and tell my grandmother that you think she's biased." Cui Rulin snorted, looking savage.
"Fourth sister, no." Cui Rumei was a little anxious. If Cui Rulin went back and complained like this, her grandmother would definitely be unhappy, and she might even be scolded. She was fifteen years old now, and would be able to get married soon. If people knew that she was still being scolded at such an old age, wouldn't it damage her reputation? If that happened, how could she get a good marriage?
Seeing Cui Rumei's anxious expression, Cui Rulin smiled and asked, "Third sister, don't you want me to tell Grandmother what I just said?"
Cui Rumei knew Cui Rulin very well. Seeing Cui Rulin say this, she sighed and said, "Fourth sister, what do you want me to do for you?"
"Why do you say that, Third Sister? I sound like I'm threatening you!" Cui Rulin pouted, looking innocent and naive, hugging Cui Rumei's arm affectionately: "Actually, if Third Sister doesn't want me to tell Grandmother those words, that's fine too, as long as -"
Cui Rulin deliberately stretched out a long note.
As expected, Cui Rumei hurriedly asked, "Fourth sister, what do you want?"
