Chapter 204: Sick? Guilty?
Old Mrs. Xu and Cui Jing are indeed grandparents and grandchildren, and their concerns are exactly the same.
Yan Xingchuan caused such a thing, and Cui Si suffered such an unexpected disaster, but the Cui family was still required to grit their teeth and endure it, and marry Cui Si to him. The Cui family could not swallow this.
It makes no sense that the robbers profit while the victims endure it in silence.
Even if the other party is the King of Northern Yan, it won’t work.
However, Mrs. Xu was more experienced than Cui Jing and did not say that she absolutely disagreed with such words. No matter how angry she was, she knew that under the current circumstances, the best solution would be for Cui Si to marry Yan Xingchuan.
They need to leave themselves a way out. If Yan Xingchuan suddenly turns hostile after hearing this and really doesn't care, then the Cui family will get nothing in return and the harm will be in vain.
"I'm just wishful thinking. I've been dreaming about this day." Yan Xingchuan frankly admitted his little thoughts, "It all depends on whether the Cui family and A'si will give me this opportunity."
"But I promise you and the Cui family that if Ah Si wants to marry me, as long as she nods, I can do it anytime. My wife will always be her. In this life, I will marry only her, and only her."
"What if she still refuses?"
"I will wait forever." Yan Xingchuan said calmly and seriously, "I will wait until the day she is willing to marry me, even if it takes a lifetime."
After hearing this, Mrs. Xu's expression changed again and again, and then she looked at Cui Changyou.
Cui Changyou said, "King of Northern Yan, your promise is too heavy for the Cui family to bear. Please take it back. Besides, Liu Niang doesn't have to marry you. You were not her choice originally, and you won't necessarily be in the future."
"I know." He was not her choice. She only wished that he and she would be well, and it would be best if they never met in this life.
"If she meets someone she wants to marry, then she can marry him. But I will still wait for her. Even if I can't wait for her, I will protect her for the rest of her life and let her live a stable and worry-free life."
"Don't mind me, old lady. Just think of me as a lover, and consider it as paying off my debt for this wrongdoing. I have no regrets now, and I won't regret it in the future."
"If..." Yan Xingchuan paused and looked towards the dormitory next door, "If she could just look at me, I would be happy to do anything for her."
He spoke these words with deep affection, but Old Lady Xu and Cui Changyou looked strange, and the people in the dormitory ignored him.
Yan Xingchuan waited and waited, but there was no movement from the people in the room. He sighed inwardly and said to Mrs. Xu, "I meant what I said. It wasn't an impulse, nor was it because I was bewildered."
"Save these words for later." Cui Jing and Cui Yi walked in from the door and said, "You go back first. We have some family matters to discuss."
Cui Jing was really rude to Yan Xingchuan and dared to chase him away right away.
The funny thing is that Yan Xingchuan really didn't dare to provoke him. He just nodded when he heard it and said, "Then you two can talk it over. If you want to see me, just send someone over."
After saying this, Yan Xingchuan bowed to Old Lady Xu, then turned and left.
After he left the room and disappeared, Mrs. Xu regained her composure and patted her chest. "Is he... is he going insane?"
Cui Jing sneered: "There is suffering in the world, and it is not what you ask for. He is not what he asks for right now. He values Ah Si too much and is willing to give up everything for her."
"Maybe he is sick." Cui Changyou said.
There are infatuated people in the world, but people like this are rare.
It's too irrational. If Cui Si or the Cui family wanted to control him, they would have to control him tightly.
Cui Jing said: "I think he feels guilty."
Cui Jing had seen so many different kinds of people that he could see clearly at a glance that no one could do this unless they felt guilty and couldn't get out of it.
"Even if I feel guilty, what kind of guilt could be so severe?" Cui Changyou was also puzzled.
"Maybe it's a debt from the previous life that I need to repay in this life?" Cui Jing reached out and touched his chin, his fox eyes narrowed slightly.
These two people are indeed a little weird sometimes.
"Forget it, let's just assume he's sick." Cui Jing felt there was no need to delve into the matter. "No matter what happened between them, what we need to do now is to stop him from bullying Ah Si."
"Also, let me tell you about the previous bride kidnapping incident." Cui Jing explained the cause of the incident and also talked about Jiang Cinian's life experience.
Mrs. Xu's face darkened slightly, and Cui Yi's eyes widened.
Cui Changyou was in disbelief: "This... How is this possible..."
How did his good friend become the grandson of the Emperor of Zhou?
Cui Jing continued, "What Yan Xingchuan did was indeed wrong. It brought shame to the Cui family and damaged Liu Niang's reputation. But at the same time, it also saved the Cui family and Liu Niang from disaster. Consider it his merits and demerits, and there's no need to bother him with this matter in the future."
"That's what Ah Si meant."
Old Madam Xu frowned: "Then Ah Si has suffered in vain?"
"It's better than marrying Jiang Cinian." Cui Jing sighed, feeling a little regretful but also a little relieved. "A'si is in danger and still needs Yan's protection. Even though he's willing, we can't just pretend nothing happened. Let's be nice to him.
Besides, he promised to protect Ah Si for the rest of her life, and he doesn't seem to be joking, so let's just consider it as him paying off his debt and let the matter be over."
This logic is reasonable and everyone nodded in agreement.
Cui Jing added, "What's most important right now is Ah Si's mood. My fifth brother and I will be leaving tomorrow. Since Grandmother and Uncle are here, please stay with Ah Si for a while longer."
"You're leaving tomorrow?"
"If you want to leave, perhaps we can discuss the Xiangzhou issue. Fifth brother has made some contributions. If you withdraw now, your contribution will not be much, and all your previous efforts will be in vain."
"As for me, things are not going well in Laizhou either. I need to deal with it as soon as possible. Then I'll see if I can catch up with the Miaozhou dispute."
Cui Jing is very ambitious. He wants to make a future for himself and for the Cui family. He has already made great contributions in Chongshan Pass and Laizhou. If he works harder, he will be granted a title of nobility and appointed as prime minister if Northern Yan conquers the world one day.
This is a major matter that concerns the future of individuals, families, and even clans.
Mrs. Xu also knew the seriousness of the situation and nodded immediately: "Don't worry, I'll take care of Ah Si. But you must be careful. On the battlefield, swords have no eyes, so be cautious."
"Grandma, don't worry, I will protect myself." Cui Jing nodded, then looked at Cui Changyou.
Cui Changyou also nodded: "Don't worry, I will take care of the family."
Although he yearns for a free and easy life, his closest family members are an inseparable part of him. He cannot fight for the family's future like Cui Jing, but he must at least protect his family at home.
"Thank you, uncle."
