Chapter 160 He is not as important as my sister
The Cui family quickly sent people out of the city to look for her, but in the end they only found out that she had taken people towards Pingzhou City.
With the experience of Cui Yun running to Chongshan Pass to find Yan Xingchuan last time, everyone in the clan secretly guessed that she was running to find Yan Xingchuan.
The Cui family members felt ashamed and speechless. The King of Northern Yan had rejected her last time and had never liked her at all, but she kept pestering him again and again, which was both shameless and annoying.
Moreover, it is a time of chaos now, and she ran away with a few people. She is really not afraid of death.
She was lucky last time, as Cui Jing sent someone to send her back safely to Xianyang City. But she is not always so lucky.
But after all, he was a member of the Cui family, so Mr. Cui had no choice but to arrange people to chase him.
As soon as Cui Yun disappeared, Madam Cui became reluctant to leave.
Mrs. Cui was extremely anxious for a moment: "Are you going to die? Second and Third Aunts pity you and let you go now. If you don't leave, how can you survive by the time the head of the family replies or rushes back?"
All men in the world are like this. They can't stand the cheating on their heads. The head of the Cui family is a man, and he is also the head of a prominent clan. He has an extraordinary status and cares about his face the most. When he comes back, Mrs. Cui will be dead.
Xie Xi had just taken away Xie Lu, who was beaten to pieces and looked like a dead dog. He came in person to meet Mrs. Cui and say goodbye to her.
Xie Xi stayed in Xianyang City. He originally wanted to wait for the return of the head of the Cui family to see if there was any improvement in the situation in Laizhou. However, after Xie Luo and Madam Cui had such an embarrassing incident, he really could not stay there any longer.
Hearing this, he nodded and advised Mrs. Cui: "Aunt, yes, you should leave quickly."
Madam Cui bit her lip: "Then A'an..."
"Don't worry, aunt. I'll set off now and walk quickly. If I can meet her, I'll take her to Laizhou and then send her back to you later."
Mrs. Cui didn't want to die after all, and she was also aware of her situation. She gritted her teeth, nodded, and made up her mind.
After Xie Xi said goodbye to Mrs. Cui, he returned to Laizhou with Xie Luo, who had luckily escaped death.
Mrs. Cui waited and waited, but by the evening she still had no news from Cui Yun. Finally, she looked back every few steps, got into a low-key carriage, and left the Cui family.
As for the Cui family, with the departure of the Xie brothers, Madam Cui and Cui Yun, the haze in the sky seemed to have dissipated, and even the air became much fresher.
With the nods of Old Madam Xu and Old Madam Shen, Madam Cui Si officially took over the management of all matters concerning the female members of the clan. She was a very versatile and good person, and soon the clan members were completely obedient to her.
After Cui Yun left Xianyang City, she seemed to have disappeared and no news came from her anymore. The Cui family members were a little worried.
The day flew by and it was August 25th. News came again that after King Yan Xingchuan of Northern Yan recaptured Yunzhou, he did not rush to attack Miaozhou. Instead, he led 30,000 troops south and headed straight for Laizhou.
When Cui Si heard the news, she was embroidering her dowry with the embroiderer. The thin long needle accidentally pierced her finger, and a drop of blood fell on the snow-white silk handkerchief, which soon stained it a glaring red.
"Madam, are you okay?" Yanzhi was startled and hurriedly checked her hand.
"It's okay." Cui Si held the long needle in her fingers, frowning slightly, as if she was a little worried.
"Sister, don't you want Laizhou to resort to force?" Cui Hao was also embroidering shoes nearby. Her embroidery skills were excellent, and the twin lotus flowers embroidered on the pair of red wedding shoes were lifelike and eye-catching.
Cui Si lost the desire to continue embroidering. She asked the embroiderer to remove the items and had some hot tea brought up. She took a sip of the tea to calm herself down before saying, "If violence is not an option, then it's better not to do anything. However..."
"It's just that I thought the King of Beiyan would give the Xie family some time."
Now Jiang Shao is still in Miaozhou. It is really strange that he does not attack Jiang Shao but attacks Laizhou instead.
Cui Hao rolled his eyes and said, "Perhaps the Lord is angry because he knows about Madam Cui and Xie Silang's plot against you?"
"Impossible." Cui Si shook her head. "He's not losing his mind."
Even if Yan Xingchuan is not in a hurry to become emperor or to seek revenge, and plans to proceed steadily and gradually erode the territory of the world, it is still the best choice after rational analysis.
"Why not? The Lord was furious when he learned that Mr. Jiang's master disapproved of your marriage to Mr. Jiang. If someone hadn't stopped him, he would have come to Xianyang City."
Cui Si paused, then said, "You've been communicating with General Shen quite a bit lately, and you've been chatting quite a bit. So, you're not going to sell me out completely?"
Since she only replied to Cui Jing last time and didn't reply to Yan Xingchuan, he learned to save the country in a roundabout way and asked Chen Mo to write to Cui Hao. So these days, Cui Si often heard Cui Hao mention Yan Xingchuan.
This brat Chen Mo is really great. I don’t know how many times he has told Cui Hao about Yan Xingchuan, making Cui Hao always mention this person in her ears.
As for Cui Hao, no one knew to what extent she had sold her sister.
"Ahem!" Cui Hao coughed twice, his face flushed and he shook his head repeatedly, "I didn't mention my sister. It was General Shen who said it. I just casually took a look at what he wrote..."
Cui Hao was not a fool. She knew all about Yan Xingchuan's thoughts, and Cui Si was engaged to Jiang Cinian. Naturally, she would not tell Shen Mo, Yan Xingchuan's younger brother, about Cui Si.
"How was your conversation?"
"That's...that's not bad." Cui Hao blushed. "He also said that he couldn't get away right now, and since we're not that old, he'll come to Xianyang City to propose marriage after Miaozhou and Laizhou are settled."
Cui Si nodded. Although she felt that Chen Mo and Cui Hao were communicating with each other for the purpose of finding out information about her for Yan Xingchuan, this was not a conflict. It would be good for the two of them to talk more and get to know each other better.
"Sister, do you dislike my correspondence with General Shen? If you don't like it, then I will..."
"What about you?" Cui Si asked her with a smile.
"Of course I won't communicate with him." Cui Hao said as a matter of course, smiling shyly but also a little arrogant and stubborn. "He is not as important as my sister."
Her parents passed away when she was young, and she grew up following her elder sister. It’s not that an elder sister is like a mother, but her elder sister has always loved her.
Compared to that unfamiliar fiancé, my sister is of course more important.
Cui Si laughed so hard that she fell sideways on the soft pillow, and most of the worries in her heart were washed away: "You are right. In my heart, Ah Hao is also very important."
As for why Yan Xingchuan sent troops to Laizhou first... who cares? He's the King of Northern Yan anyway, and if he's not crazy, he'll make a careful decision.
If he is crazy, well... let's wait until we confirm that he is crazy.
