Chapter 471 Choice
"No one else!" Cui Rulin shouted loudly: "The one who flirted with me was my eldest cousin...ah!"
Before Cui Rulin could finish her words, she was slapped in the face and fell to the ground, unable to stand steadily.
Cui Rulin covered her left cheek and looked at Yuan Ziyu standing in front of her: "Why did you hit me?"
"I'm hitting you!" Yuan Ziyu looked at Cui Rulin with disdain: "Shameless thing."
"You..." Cui Rulin gritted her teeth, her heart hardened, and she said, "I'm telling the truth. I'm the one being bullied. Why don't you go question your good brother and ask him why he's treating me so frivolously?"
At this point, Cui Rulin had given up everything. No matter what, she had to hold on to Yuan Zian tightly. Only in this way could she have hope. Otherwise...
Thinking about her possible fate, she felt a chill in her heart!
"Cui Rulin, I think you are either deaf or you really can't understand what people say. Wasn't what my eldest brother said clear enough just now?" Yuan Ziyu asked with a sneer.
"That's his one-sided statement. What evidence does he have to prove that I saw someone else?" Cui Rulin asked gritting her teeth.
"Then what evidence do you have to prove that the person you saw was my elder brother?" Yuan Ziyu asked back.
"I..." How could Cui Rulin possibly produce evidence?
Yuan Ziyou continued to sneer and asked, "Let me ask you, you said someone went to my eldest brother's yard to look for you, so what did the person who said that to you look like?"
Seeing Cui Rulin about to speak, Yuan Ziyou immediately said, "Don't say you don't know that person. We haven't bought any maids or servants in this period. You've been staying in my Yuan family for several months, wandering around the garden all day and asking around. You've seen everyone in this mansion, from top to bottom."
Upon hearing this, Liu was stunned for a moment and asked, "You'er, what did you say? Lin'er..."
"Mother," Yuan Ziyou said to Liu, "I'm afraid Cui Rulin has already considered herself the future mistress of our Yuan family and is patrolling the territory everywhere."
"You...you are spying on me!" Cui Rulin was so angry at Yuan Ziyu's words that she blurted out without thinking much.
"Mother, look." Yuan Ziyu ignored Cui Rulin and said to Liu: "Isn't this an admission?"
Seeing this, Liu looked at Cui Rulin unkindly. At this point, if she didn't understand what Cui Rulin was planning, she would have lived in vain.
"Lin'er, tell me, who called you to An'er's yard?" Liu asked while suppressing her anger.
No one called her. It was naturally Cui Rulin who ran to Yuan Zian's yard by herself. Cui Rulin couldn't name such a person at all, so she gritted her teeth and said nothing.
"Don't want to say it?" Yuan Ziyu smiled faintly and turned to look at Ying'er: "Your fourth lady doesn't want to say it, so Ying'er, you can say it."
"Your servant..." Ying'er naturally couldn't say it.
"I won't tell you anything." Yuan Ziyou raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Okay, Qingzhi."
"I'm here." Qingzhi replied quickly.
"Call a few maids and beat Ying'er to death with a stick!" Yuan Ziyu said with a smile.
"Yes." Qingzhi and Yuan Ziyu had been master and servant for many years, so she naturally understood what Yuan Ziyu meant. She responded and walked out, but she walked very slowly. When Liu and Yuan Zi'an heard what Yuan Ziyu said, they did not stop him. They knew that Yuan Ziyu knew his limits.
Only Cui Rulin, Cui Rumei and her two servants were shocked. They never expected that Yuan Ziyu would beat Ying'er to death without saying a word.
"No, Ying'er is not a servant of your Yuan family. You have no right to deal with Ying'er." Cui Rulin grew up with Ying'er and naturally had some feelings for her.
"Cui Rulin, you've gone to great lengths, even at the cost of destroying your own reputation, to marry into our Yuan family. Isn't it all for our current status and power?" Yuan Ziyu sneered, "Let me tell you, power is a good thing. You probably don't know this, but the current emperor has granted me a golden medal of immunity from death. Even if I kill you today, nothing will happen to me, let alone a mere servant."
Cui Rulin was shocked when she heard this, and Ying'er cried out, "Fourth Miss, save this servant!"
Cui Rulin hurried forward and grabbed Qingzhi's arm: "You can't go!"
Qingzhi made a move to break free from Cui Rulin's restraints and said, "Fourth cousin, please don't stop me. I need to go and call for help."
"Qingzhi, go call for help." Yuan Ziyu said, "I don't believe that after a few beatings, he won't tell the truth."
After saying that, Yuan Ziyu looked at Ying'er coldly: "If they really want to bite you to death, then don't say anything. If they really want to beat you to death, then they can just throw you into the mass grave. There are plenty of wild dogs there, and you're just short of food."
Ying'er's teeth chattered at these words, and she couldn't care less. She shouted, "No one called us Fourth Miss. It was this servant... I heard that the eldest young master was on vacation today, and the fourth young lady went to his courtyard on her own."
Cui Rulin didn't expect Ying'er to confess directly. She was so angry that she stepped forward and slapped Ying'er: "You are a traitor."
"Humph!" Yuan Ziyu snorted coldly, "Cui Rulin, you're really something. To achieve your goal, you've completely thrown away all sense of propriety and righteousness. It's a pity that you pounced on the wrong person!"
After being tricked by Ying'er, Cui Rulin knew she couldn't deny it anymore, so she said bitterly, "So what if I went there on my own? It was my cousin who flirted with me anyway."
Hearing this, Yuan Zian said in a deep voice, "You can't decide what to do. The time I went to the Jingxi Camp has been verified by others. I'm afraid you went to my yard and no one saw you. We'll know everything if we check. Besides, He Shaofeng is still in my yard. Even if you didn't see him clearly, I believe you still have some impression of him. If you insist on making a big deal out of this, then let's confront each other."
"Lin'er, stop making trouble." Cui Rumei became more and more frightened as she listened. She was afraid that her fourth sister had really recognized the wrong person, and that person already had many wives and concubines. If the matter really got out of hand, not only would her fourth sister's reputation be ruined, but she would probably have to become that person's concubine. In that case, how could the other girls in their Cui family talk about their in-laws? Not to mention getting married, they would probably be drowned in spit.
Cui Rulin glared at Cui Rumei fiercely, knowing that she was holding her back and could not help at all.
But Yuan Zian's words forced Cui Rulin to think carefully, otherwise if she was not careful, she would really be ruined.
Cui Rulin looked at Yuan Zian with a complicated expression. She could tell that her cousin really disliked her.
what to do?
Cui Rulin lowered her head and said nothing, silently thinking about what to do.
Yuan Ziyou asked, "Have you thought it through? You now have two choices. Either you leave it at that and return to your hometown in Zhanyang, pretending it never happened. Or you can confront Master He and make things clear. Then you can become his concubine. It's up to you!"
