Chapter 460: Indecision
"Third Miss, be careful with your hands." Cui Rumei's maid Fu'er saw that Cui Rumei's palms were red from clapping. She couldn't help but feel distressed and hurried forward to help Cui Rumei gently rub her palms. She advised: "Third Miss, don't get so angry. What if you get yourself hurt?"
"How could she do this?" Cui Rumei was both angry and furious. She was angry that Cui Rulin wanted to ruin the marriage between her eldest cousin and second sister, and she was also angry at Cui Rulin's threats against her.
Fu'er didn't dare to comment on Cui Rulin, and could only advise Cui Rumei: "Third Miss, you should just pretend you don't know about what happened today. Otherwise, you will definitely be in trouble. So don't be angry."
"But how could I possibly pretend I didn't know about what happened today?" Cui Rumei said angrily, "If Fourth Sister really wants to do this, it's too much. If this gets known, wouldn't it affect the reputation of the entire Cui family?"
"My Third Miss, what can you do?" Fu'er said hurriedly, "Are you planning to tell the First and Second Madams about this? Not to mention that you're still an unmarried girl, so it's hard to bring this up. Even with the Fourth Madam, maybe they're just talking and don't really mean it. If the First and Second Madams get angry about you and the Fourth Madam and treat you poorly, who in the capital will you turn to for your complaints?"
When Cui Rumei heard Fu'er say this, she frowned slightly and said nothing, obviously thinking about what Fu'er said.
Seeing this, Fu'er said, "Besides, even if Fourth Miss is telling the truth, you still have to do this. If you tell the First and Second Madams, Fourth Miss will definitely find out. And if she complains to Old Madam, how can you live a good life? My girl, if you interfere in this matter, no matter what the outcome, you will be the one who suffers the most."
Cui Rumei sighed. She had to admit that what Fu'er said was indeed true.
"Third Miss—" Seeing Cui Rumei remained silent, Fu'er called out anxiously, "Think about it, even if Fourth Miss is willing, Young Master Cousin might not agree, right? So, I think it's best for you to stay out of this."
"Okay." Cui Rumei pursed her lips and said, "I just don't know what to do about this matter."
"That's right." Fu'er said hurriedly, "Third Miss, it's getting late. I'll help you get some rest."
"good."
Cui Rumei let Fu'er help her lie down, and she hoped in her heart that Cui Rulin was just talking.
In the following days, whenever Cui Rumei went to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, she would secretly observe Cui Rulin, always worried that Cui Rulin would do something extreme. Fortunately, Cui Rulin did not make any move until the Lantern Festival, which made Cui Rumei feel a little relieved.
What Cui Rumei didn't know was that the reason Cui Rulin hadn't taken any action was simply because she was a little hesitant.
Two days before the Chinese New Year, at the invitation of Madam Yuan, the Cui family all stayed at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Therefore, when Huo Xifei came to give the Yuan family four gifts on New Year's Eve, Cui Rulin also met Huo Xifei.
Huo Xifei's appearance was naturally better than Yuan Zian's. Although Cui Rulin was hiding behind the screen at the time, she peeked out through the gap in the screen out of curiosity. This time, she was deeply attracted by Huo Xifei's appearance.
In Cui Rulin's eyes, there is no man in the world more handsome than Huo Xifei.
Thinking about Huo Xifei's status and position, Cui Rulin's heart was burning with excitement. As for Yuan Ziyu, she certainly didn't dare to think of replacing her. However, if Huo Xifei had the same appearance and status, she could accept being a concubine.
Because of this, Cui Rulin has been hesitating these days, unsure whether to replace Cui Ruxun and marry Yuan Zian, or to become Huo Xifei's concubine and share a husband with Yuan Ziyu.
