Chapter 156 Mrs. Cui's Plot
"Evidence? Where is the evidence?" Xie Xi was speechless. "Not to mention that you can't tell anyone about these shameful and dirty schemes. Even if you risked everything, if she denies it, what evidence do you have?"
"She doesn't... doesn't admit it?" Cui Yun was completely stuck.
"Yes, she denied it. She just said that it was God's will that Xie Lu went to the wrong place. My aunt and Xie Lu suffered the consequences. What does it have to do with her?"
Cui Yun was dumbfounded.
"Could it be that she did such a vicious thing, brought suffering to my mother, and yet remained unscathed, continuing to be her high and mighty princess?"
Cui Yun was filled with hatred. "No, I will tell the King of Northern Yan everything she did. I will tell him how vicious Cui Si is. I will see if she can still be a princess in the future."
After hearing this, Xie Xi looked at her strangely.
This woman's jealousy is truly terrifying. She can disregard her parents and the life and death of her family, just to make life difficult for one person.
"Just be quiet." Xie Xi couldn't help but remind him, "Your mother fell into her hands. If you don't behave yourself, you'll be the next one."
Cui Yun was unhappy: "If I could become the queen, I would still be afraid of her."
Xie Xi paused, and suddenly remembered that Mrs. Cui had mentioned to him that the Xie family should support Cui Yun to be the queen.
He thought Mrs. Cui was confused at the time. Even if the Xie family wanted to support someone, they would naturally push the Xie family girl to the top. How could they possibly prepare wedding dresses for the Cui family girl?
It seems that Mrs. Cui took this risk in order to plot against the Xie family.
If the plan succeeded and Xie Luo destroyed Cui Si's innocence, in order to avoid the wrath of the King of Northern Yan and to give an explanation to the Cui family, the Xie family would certainly marry Cui Si to Xie Luo.
In this way, the Xie family has already married a princess, and the position of queen is basically impossible for her.
The Cui clan used the fact that Xie Luo had defiled Cui Si as a bargain, so that the Xie clan and the Cui clan would jointly support Cui Yun to marry the King of Northern Yan as his queen.
Once the two major clans, the Cui clan of Pingzhou and the Xie clan of Laizhou, spoke up, even the King of Northern Yan had to consider the matter.
There is a great chance of success.
"Good! It's really good!" Xie Xi laughed angrily, "This is really my good aunt!"
Cui Yun was a little flustered by his laughter and couldn't help asking, "Cousin, what are you laughing at?"
"Nothing." Xie Xi's smile faded. "I just remembered something. Si Niang, if you see your mother, tell her that she accidentally got poisoned, and it happened when Xie Lu came to see her. Don't involve anyone else."
"From then on, she was asked to become a nun and practice Buddhism, leaving the Cui family."
"How can this be possible? Are we going to let Cui Si go like this? She..."
"Do you have evidence? If your mother is implicated in the murder of Wang Ji, she will undoubtedly die, and neither will you. Remember, let her save the reputation of both families. This is the last thing she can do."
After Xie Xi said these words, he didn't want to say anything more: "If you have the chance, tell these words to your mother, she will naturally understand. You can go back."
Cui Yun was also a person who cared about her reputation. She was being driven away like this, and seeing that she could not get any other answer, she could not stay any longer. She turned her head and left angrily.
Xie Xi placed the teacup on the table in annoyance.
"My aunt's daughter is really a waste."
......
When Mrs. Cui woke up slowly, it was already evening.
The sunset outside dyed half the sky red, and the rays of light fell on the ground, making the ground bright orange. The yard was quiet, with only the occasional chirping of insects.
"Awake?" Old Mrs. Xu put down the teacup in her hand and looked at the bed curtain through the gauze curtain.
Old Mrs. Shen, who was sitting across the table from her, also raised her head from counting the rings on her fingers and looked at the gauze curtain.
Mrs. Cui felt unwell as soon as she woke up. She frowned and said, "Come here, help me get up."
But she called out several times and no one responded.
"Stop shouting." Old Mrs. Shen said impatiently, "Your men have all been locked up and interrogated one by one."
"Who?" Mrs. Cui lifted the gauze curtain and saw that Old Lady Xu, Old Lady Shen and several other women of status in the clan were in the room.
She looked around and found that she was not in her own house, but in an unfamiliar building.
The house was not bare, but it was also not presentable at all.
"Where am I?"
Could it be that she was drugged and fell asleep in a daze?
Thing... is it done?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Cui was secretly happy. It was not in vain that she had planned so much. As long as it was done, she could let the Xie family come to propose marriage in the future. By then, there would be hope that A'an would become the queen.
"This is the Cui family's main residence, but it's in a secluded little courtyard in the backyard." Old Madam Xu said calmly, "Do you want to confess your story yourself, or do you want us to interrogate you?"
"What do you want to tell me?" Madam Cui frowned, acting like the mistress of her household. "Second aunt, even if you're angry, you can't be so indiscriminate."
"I don't ask questions?" Old Mrs. Xu laughed angrily. "So, you and your nephew are having an affair and doing something unethical and shameful, so we don't need to ask about it?"
"Xie, since you don't even want a chance to defend yourself, then you can't blame my Cui family for being ruthless. Come, bring the poisoned wine and send Xie on her way."
What poisonous wine?
What's on the road?
Mrs. Cui was stunned for a moment, then she remembered what Mrs. Xu had said before.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by me and my nephew are having an affair? Second aunt, even if you are the elder, you can't say such nonsense and destroy someone's innocence!"
"Who is talking nonsense?" Old Lady Shen felt that it was Madam Cui who caused Cui Yao to miss the throne of queen. She had been holding a grudge against her for a long time. Now that she saw her in trouble, she felt a little gloating.
"What happened between you and your nephew was witnessed by many people at Wanhua Temple last night. How could it be fake?"
"Oh, I didn't know you had such a hobby. You said that even if you wanted to raise a young master, you couldn't choose your own nephew.
Incest between an aunt and a nephew is simply unethical. If outsiders knew about it, wouldn't it bring shame to our Cui and Xie families? "
"What did you say?"
"You and your nephew were having an affair in Wanhua Temple and were seen by many people."
Mrs. Cui's face went blank for a moment.
Recalling her own discomfort, she hadn't thought much of it at first, thinking it was simply the effects of the drug and she was simply exhausted. But she hadn't expected it to be this way...
Mrs. Cui spat out a mouthful of blood.
Blood splattered on the ground, and a drop splashed onto the hem of Old Mrs. Xu's skirt.
"Nonsense! Nonsense!" Madam Cui screamed at the top of her lungs, her hands shaking. "What nonsense are you talking about! That's impossible! That's absolutely impossible!
"Stop talking nonsense and destroying my innocence!"
