Chapter 153 Who Hurt Her?
Mrs. Cui and Xie Lu are still unconscious, and no one knows what exactly happened.
But Mrs. Cui Si didn't want to find out the truth at the moment. The most important thing was how to end it and save the face of the Cui family.
It was not easy for her to discuss such an embarrassing matter with Cui Changyou and other men. After thinking about it, she could only come to Cui Si.
"What should we do?" Cui Si frowned. She no longer wanted to get involved.
"I can't say much about the elders' affairs, and how can I know what to do? For now, I can only ask everyone to shut up. After returning, I will write a letter to the head of the family. How to deal with it will naturally be decided by the head of the family and the elders."
Mrs. Cui is the wife of the patriarch of the Cui family. Even if she makes a mistake, not everyone can punish her.
Only the head of the Cui family, the elders of the clan, and elders like Old Madam Xu are qualified to make decisions.
Mrs. Cui Si suddenly understood: "You are right. We should first make people shut up and then let the head of the family and the elders make the final decision."
"That won't do!" Cui Yun said anxiously, "Fourth aunt, if father knew about this, it would definitely not be resolved peacefully. Mother..."
"What? You still want to let it go?" Mrs. Cui was furious. "Your mother did such a shameful thing, how do you expect to let it go?"
Before, because of Madam Cui, Madam Cui Si naturally did not dare to speak loudly to Cui Yun, the head of the family's legitimate daughter. But now that Madam Cui has made such a big mistake, the outcome is probably not going to be good. In addition, Cui Yun is really annoying, so Madam Cui Si lost her patience all of a sudden.
This mother and daughter are simply a disaster.
Cui Yun's face flushed red upon hearing this, her hands shaking with anger. She looked at Cui Si with hatred, "But my mother was murdered by someone else! If you don't stand up for her, find out the truth, and punish the culprits, you're going to hold her responsible."
"Who harmed her? Who harmed her?" Madam Cui Si asked impatiently, "Why did you suddenly disappear? Why is there no servant in the courtyard? And why did Xie Silang come here?"
Upon learning that Cui Yun was missing, Mrs. Cui Si was extremely anxious and took a group of willing Cui family members to look for her. When they found her, they discovered that she was hiding in a rockery.
She said that she got lost while walking and then fell asleep there, and didn't hear anyone calling her.
Why are all the servants in Madam Cui's courtyard not in the courtyard? It was because Madam Cui arranged for them to go out to look for Cui Yun.
As for why Xie Luo came here, there is no way of knowing.
If someone was responsible, then one of the reasons was that the mother and daughter were stupid and left such a big loophole for others to exploit.
Cui Yun couldn't answer, but she continued to look at Cui Si with hatred, as if she was sure that she was the one who did it: "It must be her, it must be her!"
"How dare you!" Mrs. Cui was furious. "Your mother is shameless and has no sense of propriety or integrity. She has done such a shameful and absurd thing. You don't reflect on yourself, but you dare to throw dirty water on Princess Wang."
"Who is Wang Ji? She is the noble daughter of my Cui family, the adopted sister of the King of Northern Yan. She is the Princess of Northern Yan. She is a person of noble character, both talented and virtuous. Fourth Lady, if you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for teaching you a lesson on how to behave on behalf of our clan."
The Cui family lost the position of queen, but Yan Xingchuan recognized Cui Si as his sister and made her the princess of Northern Yan.
Although her adopted sister was not as good as the queen's, she was also the glory of the Cui family. Not to mention that Cui Si had no chance and no reason to do these things, even if she did, the Cui family would not let her reputation be tarnished.
When Cui Yun heard this, she was stunned and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Why does this scene seem so familiar?
Yes, like before, because of her poor health, even if she did something wrong, her mother would say, "She is not in good health, why do you bother with her?", and the tribesmen did not dare to punish her because of her health condition.
Now, Cui Si is the glory of the Cui family. The Cui family will do their best to protect her feathers, make her shine brightly, and become the shining pearl of the Cui family.
Cui Yun figured it all out, staggered, took two steps back, and felt a little confused.
If the Cui family is determined to protect Cui Si, then her mother... everything her mother has suffered will be in vain, and she will probably never be able to turn things around.
And she... has such a mother with corrupt personal ethics and no sense of shame. I'm afraid she will no longer have a place to stay in the Cui family.
Thinking of this, Cui Yun's face turned pale, her body suddenly went limp, and she fainted.
When Mrs. Cui Si saw that Cui Yun had fainted, her face changed and she hurried forward to check: "Fourth Lady, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that she had really fainted, he quickly asked the maid to help her back to her residence, and then asked the doctor who was accompanying her to see her.
After the others were helped away, Mrs. Cui Si wiped the sweat off her face and sighed, "This mother and daughter pair are really a worry for each other. How could the eldest sister-in-law be so confused?"
Cui Si lowered her eyes and thought to herself: I am not confused. That was a gift carefully prepared for me, but I just returned it the same way.
"Forget it, this place is a mess. Sixth Lady, you don't need to live here anymore. Pack up your things and go live with Eighth Lady and Nineth Lady. Let the two of them squeeze in and I'll leave the side room for you."
It was indeed a mess here. Cui Si nodded and agreed, "Thank you for troubling my Fourth Aunt."
"It's a small matter."
Madam Cui Si called a few maids over to help Yanzhi and Songlu pack up their things. Then they quickly put Cui Si's luggage into boxes and moved it to the courtyard where the girls lived.
Cui Yun, Cui Yao, Cui Qinniang, Cui Ting, Cui Ba Niang, Cui Chan, Cui Hao, and seven or eight concubines all lived in the courtyard.
The yard is not big, it is square, with a main hall and two rooms, three rooms in the east wing, three rooms in the west wing, and two rooms in the south wing and a kitchen.
Cui Yun and Cui Yao lived in the two rooms on the left and right of the main house, Cui Qinnan, Cui Ba Niang and Cui Hao each occupied a room in the east wing, and the remaining three rooms in the west wing and two rooms in the south wing were divided among seven or eight concubines in the clan.
When Cui Si walked into the yard, the lights in the house were brightly lit, and whispers could be heard from time to time, as if people were discussing what happened today.
Madam Cui Si coughed and said, "It's late. Go to bed quickly. We have to get up early tomorrow to worship Buddha. We can't be late."
As soon as Mrs. Cui finished speaking, the room became quiet, and then the lights in several rooms were turned off one after another.
"Sixth Lady, I'm sorry to bother you for a day today. I originally arranged for you to live with my wife, thinking it would be more spacious, but who knew something like this would happen."
In fact, there was no big problem in arranging Cui Si to live with Madam Cui. After all, Madam Cui Si was also crowded with many people.
"Why should I feel wronged? Since we are sisters from the same clan, I can live wherever my clan members live. Fourth aunt, don't worry too much."
