Chapter 152: Harming Others Ends Up Harming Yourself
After having Xie Lu sent to Madam Cui's room, Cui Si returned to her room and asked Liu Chun for the medicine bottle filled with water.
Liu Chun hesitated and refused to give it to him: "Princess Wang, you can't take this medicine."
Before they came, Yan Xingchuan summoned them and asked them to protect Wang Ji. If anything happened to Wang Ji, they would not be able to live either.
"I was drinking tea with my wife. If she was poisoned and I wasn't, it would be hard to explain or deny it later."
Mrs. Cui must have thought the same, so in order to succeed her plan and to clear herself of any involvement, she would rather drink the medicine herself.
Liu Chun thought for a moment and pulled out a small medicine bottle from his sleeve. "This is a detoxification pill. It can neutralize some of the medicinal properties. If anyone asks, Wang Ji can say that she took one and fell asleep."
"When the time comes, Princess Wang will say that it was given by the Lord."
"Does this medicine work for me too?"
"Wang Ji only said that after taking the medicine, you will fall asleep and be fine. As for whether it is true or not, they can't use this medicine to test it, right?"
This made sense. Cui Si took the medicine bottle and waved him away: "Go back and don't let anyone find out."
"yes."
Liu Chunyin disappeared in the darkness. There was no one in the room, so Cui Si took off her coat, lay down on the bed, covered herself with the quilt, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
In the night when insects and birds were chirping, she seemed to hear the sounds coming from the main room.
The lascivious sounds disturb people's peace and tranquility.
About half an hour later, there was a noisy sound coming from far away, the gate of the courtyard was pushed open, and footsteps were heard walking quickly towards the main courtyard.
"Mother—Mother—"
Cui Yun ran quickly into the main room, pushed open the dormitory door and walked inside, then suddenly let out a scream.
"Mother, cousin, what are you doing?"
The picture is so beautiful, but it’s a pity that Cui Si can’t see it.
The main courtyard immediately became a mess. According to what Song Lu said later, a maid went forward to separate the two people, but they seemed to be obsessed with each other and could not be separated.
Xie Lu still wanted to attack the maid who came forward.
It was simple. In order to plot against Cui Si, Mrs. Cui took risks and was also bewitched by Qian Jiaochun.
As for Xie Lu, because he slept too much as Sleeping Beauty, he also had the habit of taking medicine, some tonic to stimulate the body, and he was very addicted to the medicine. Moreover, he had always been unrestrained and unscrupulous.
The main courtyard was in chaos, and Yanzhi and Songlu hurried back.
"Madam, something happened in the main courtyard." Seeing that Cui Si had gotten up and was sitting beside the bed, the two men went forward.
"I know." Cui Si said calmly.
Mrs. Cui is unkind, so don't blame her for being unjust. If she hadn't been vigilant, it would be her, Cui Si, who would be experiencing all this.
So she had no guilt at all.
You're reaping what you sow.
"Bang!!!"
The door to the outer hall was pushed open with force, and a figure ran in quickly.
Seeing Cui Si sitting safely on the edge of the bed, Cui Yun's eyes were red and she even wanted to bite Cui Si to death.
She rushed forward like crazy: "Bitch! You bitch!"
Yanzhi and Songlu quickly stepped in front to stop the man.
Cui Si stood up and put on her coat, then glanced at the women following behind her. She stepped forward, grabbed Cui Yun's hand, and threw her to the ground:
"What are you crazy about? If you want to go crazy, go back to your own home instead of going crazy here with me."
"Am I crazy?" Cui Yun was shaking with anger. A maid helped her struggle to her feet, then pounced on her again, "Why are you okay? Why are you okay?"
"Why did my cousin show up at my mother's place?"
"It's you, it's all you! You killed my mother!"
"You bitch!"
Cui Si felt itchy and slapped Cui Yun in the face with her hand.
Cui Yun was slapped and her whole body tilted to the side. If the maid had not supported her, she would have fallen to the ground again.
"Are you more awake now?" Cui Si's eyes were cold. "I don't know what happened, but you're making a scene here. It's really unreasonable. If you do it again, don't blame me for slapping you again."
"Can anyone tell me what happened?" Cui Si swept her eyes around, and when everyone met her gaze, they all lowered their heads and said nothing.
Cui Yun's face flushed red, and the look she gave Cui Si seemed to be filled with deep hatred. Her fingers were clenched tightly, and she wished she could go forward and tear the person into pieces.
"Since you don't want to talk about it, then let's go back. My head is dizzy and I'm really sleepy. I want to rest."
Since everyone was unable to bring themselves to speak, some people wanted to leave.
"Sixth Lady." Mrs. Cui Si came in quickly and called out. Seeing that something was wrong, she frowned.
"What are you doing here? Go back to your own yard."
"Fourth aunt." Cui Yun's eyes turned red as she pointed at Cui Si and said, "Fourth aunt, it's her, it must be her, she is the one who killed Mother!"
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid?" Mrs. Cui's face changed drastically. She said hurriedly, "You have no evidence, how can you say such nonsense? If you have time to fool around here, you might as well go see your mother."
"Everyone go back. We can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything."
Mrs. Cui Si's status is not as high as Mrs. Cui's, but she is also the wife of the eldest son and the fourth wife of the Cui family.
In addition, the affairs of the clan were all managed by Mr. Cui Si. When Mrs. Cui was punished to "cultivate the ancestral land", she also took over Mrs. Cui's affairs. She was considered to be some of the most influential people in the Cui clan.
Everyone didn't want to be involved in this dirty thing and was afraid that the fire would burn them. After hearing her words, they quickly left.
Cui Hao was worried about Cui Si, so she bit her lip and refused to leave.
"Eighth Mother, Ninth Mother, go wait in the next room." After this incident, Mrs. Cui Si was worried about her daughters going back alone.
The two young ladies looked at each other, then responded obediently and let Yanzhi go to the next room to wait.
Cui Yun bit her lip and said, "Fourth Aunt, I'm not talking nonsense, nor am I making trouble. It was her. She must have killed my mother."
Cui Si frowned, looking speechless.
Mrs. Cui Si had a headache and was too lazy to care about her. She told Cui Si what had happened:
"We found Si Niang earlier and came to see Madam together. We never imagined that she would actually...actually do such a ridiculous thing with Xie Si Lang..."
Cui Si was surprised. "How is this possible? Madam and Xie Silang are aunt and nephew! This is too absurd!"
Mrs. Cui Si couldn't help but nodded.
That’s right, this is incest between aunt and nephew!
This is ridiculous!
Moreover, Mrs. Cui is the wife of the head of the Cui family. If the matter gets out, the Cui family will really lose face.
When Mrs. Cui Si thought of this, she felt her eyes go dark and she even wanted to die.
"But Liu Niang, now that it has happened, what do you think we should do?"
