1838 Killing Intentions, Experience in Funerals

A married woman should obey her husband, but the Crown Princess is also a daughter of the Cui family. The Cui family is the Crown Princess's foothold in Xiling. Only if her family background is good can the Crown Princess be noble and unparalleled, and can she be more honored. The Crown Princess attaches great importance to what Feng Qingchen said.

"Please rest assured, Miss Feng. My Cui family will give you an explanation for this matter." These words were enough to prove the Crown Princess's status in the Cui family.

Come to think of it, since her brother is the head of the family, the Crown Princess naturally feels confident.

After getting the answer she wanted, Feng Qingchen did not stay in the Crown Prince's Mansion for long. When she left, Xiling Tianyu personally sent her off: "This time, you have made my Crown Princess take the blame."

"Isn't this what you want to see?" Feng Qingchen counterattacked with a smile. If Xiling Tianyu didn't do it on purpose, then why would the servant do something that would cause misunderstanding.

Xiling Tianyu smiled bitterly: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you." Xiling Tianyu walked closer and said in a voice that the two of them could hear: "I need some medicine that can prevent women from getting pregnant in a short period of time without hurting their bodies. Of course, I came to you for the medicine because I naturally don't want the imperial physician to find out."

Feng Qingchen's medicine was all in granular form. He had secretly kept a few of the medicine Feng Qingchen had prescribed for him before and had the imperial physician check it out, but the physician could not find anything.

If you want to avoid leaving any trace and not be caught, you must find Feng Qingchen.

"Isn't the Crown Princess in mourning?" It is completely understandable that Xiling Tianyu doesn't want the girl from the Cui family to give birth to a child.

Having a child makes one's ambitions different from not having a child. After Xiling Tianyu died, it was entirely possible for the Cui family to push a young master to the throne. By then, the ministers would be strong and the master would be weak, and it was still unknown who would take over Xiling.

"Three months of mourning for a married granddaughter is sufficient." Xiling Tianyu did not hide it from Feng Qingchen and whispered his concerns.

Some things should just be said briefly. We are not stupid and we all understand.

"I'll ask Zuo An to bring it to you later." Feng Qingchen lowered his eyes, hiding the light in his eyes.

Xiling Tianyu is smart but has no ambition. Such a person should not be born into the royal family and waste his talent in vain.

"In that case, I'd like to thank Doctor Feng Qing." Xiling Tianyu put on a full show, and when he sent Feng Qingchen to the door, he bowed with both hands, looking like he had received a great favor from Feng Qingchen.

Sure enough, everyone is an actor.

Although the Cui family has been operating in Xiling for a long time, they are an external force after all. When they first arrived in Xiling, in order to prevent the local wealthy families from overreacting, the Cui family acted very low-key, and so far, they have not appeared to compete for the interests of others.

The Cui family did this because they were afraid that the wealthy families of King Xiling would unite and suppress the Cui family.

The death of the old lady of the Cui family bought the Cui family some time. After coming to Xiling, several branches of the Cui family have been living in seclusion and have no intention of expanding their presence in Xiling.

This move by the Cui family was highly praised by everyone, and even the emperor publicly praised them, saying that the Cui family was worthy of being a famous aristocratic family, and their every word and action revealed the demeanor of children from a noble family.

As for whether the Cui family was sincere or insincere in being so low-key, no one cared. Anyway, they would praise them first and put a high hat on the Cui family's head, putting a tight ring around their heads, so that the Cui family would not dare to expand recklessly in Xiling in the future.

Although the Cui family's actions blocked some of their future paths, they also allowed them to successfully take root in Xiling. Therefore, even if there were still people in the Cui family who were dissatisfied with Cui Haoting becoming the head of the family, they did not show it too much. After all, they had just arrived in the capital, so they still had to focus on unity.

Cui Haoting has always believed that as a member of the Cui family, he should naturally put the Cui family first, so when he learned from the Crown Princess that someone from the Cui family had contact with the Hundred Ghosts Palace, he was completely stunned.

After Cui Haoting learned the news, he remained in a pensive posture. He couldn't understand why the Cui family could raise such a stupid son. Others might not know about the Palace of Hundred Ghosts, but as a member of the Cui family, how could he not know about it?

If you conspire with a tiger to rebel, the final outcome is definitely to fall into the tiger's mouth. Even if you don't fall into the tiger's mouth, if people know that the Cui family is colluding with the Hundred Ghosts Palace, how can the Cui family survive?

If there was no Cui family, where would the Cui family members come from? Where would they be born rich? Where would they be superior to others from birth?

Nanling Jinfan's fate is right in front of us. Do we have to wait until he encounters that fate before we realize our mistakes?

"Sixteenth brother, you came." Young Master Cui pushed the door open and walked in. He sat down opposite Cui Haoting without Cui Haoting's greeting. The strong aura emanating from his body suppressed the gentle and introverted Cui Haoting so much that people who didn't know the truth thought he was the head of the family.

The proud third son of the Cui family would never bow down before his former enemy.

"Third brother..." Cui Haoting didn't care at all that he was suppressed by Cui San and still called him good-temperedly. Cui San felt like he had punched cotton and felt very bored, so he restrained his momentum a little.

"What do you want from me?"

"Third brother, I heard that you have been going out frequently recently." After checking all the family members, the third brother was the most suspicious.

"What? I have to report to the head of the family even when I go out? Since when did I lose the freedom to go out?" Cui San said with a look of sarcasm and almost harshness.

Cui Haoting was still in a good mood: "Third brother, our Cui family is all in mourning, so it's better for you to go out less, so as not to make friends with the wrong people."

"You can't go out while observing mourning? Is there such a rule in our family?" Cui Haoting's words were very clear, but Cui San just kept playing dumb.

Cui Haoting sighed softly and said, "Third brother, you are hurting others and not benefiting yourself by doing this. Why do you have to do this?"

"I'm happy." Cui San once again challenged Cui Haoting's authority as the head of the family.

Even a clay figure has some personality, but Cui Haoting is not a clay figure. He immediately emphasized his tone: "Third brother, you are not a child. Some things are not up to you. We are all descendants of the Cui family. We exist because of the Cui family. I hope you can remember this."

"Don't worry, Sixteenth Brother. Third Brother has been raised as the head of the family since he was young. He understands this better than you." Cui San admitted that he was defeated by Cui Haoting, but he did not admit that he was worse than Cui Haoting.

"It's good that Third Brother understands. In the future..." Cui Haoting stared at Cui San with his deep eyes. A hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. His crimson lips uttered cold words: "I will not show mercy."

Cui San's throat tightened, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his body leaned back slightly. It took him a long time to suppress the fear in his heart, and he pretended to be calm and said, "So, this is the true face of Sixteenth Brother. You really can't tell it at all on weekdays."

The Cui family would never really raise their legitimate son into a lamb. The gentle Cui Haoting is nothing but a wolf in sheep's clothing.

"As the head of the Cui family, I naturally have to shoulder this important responsibility." Cui Haoting responded calmly.

So what if he was trained as the head of the family since he was young? Now he is the one sitting in the position of the head of the family, and he is the actual person in charge of the Cui family.

Cui San's expression changed immediately, and he stood up suddenly: "Don't worry, Master. I always remember that I am a member of the Cui family and will not do anything that is detrimental to the Cui family. You don't need to worry about my affairs."

After saying that, Cui San left with a wave of his sleeves. Cui Haoting was not angry, nor did he try to keep him. He just looked away indifferently and said to the air, "Tell Qingchen that the Cui family has experience in handling funerals."
