Chapter 257: The King of Northern Yan blames the Cui family, and the entire family will suffer
Cui Si thought that her attitude of not wanting to meet Lin Qingning was very clear, but no one should put their best foot forward.
After hearing this, Lin Qingning felt that she had rested enough and it was time to return to Beiyan City.
Unexpectedly, whether they were really stupid or pretending to be stupid, they sent people to Xianyang City again just one day later, and this time, they brought up the name of Yan Xingchuan's mother.
The autumn wind was blowing gently. Cui Si sat under the sycamore tree in the courtyard, half leaning on a recliner, waving a silk fan embroidered with cranes and peonies, listening to the visitor's story.
The autumn wind is weary, and the parasol trees are blowing down, sweeping away the mundane dust and smoke of the world, as if the spring flowers and autumn moons in this world have all become the clouds of the past.
“My wife said that when Madam Yan was still alive, she was always worried about what kind of wife the King of Northern Yan should marry given his temperament.
Now that Madam Yan is gone, she happened to be passing through Pingzhou City and wanted to meet Madam Cui on Madam Yan's behalf. When she returned to Beiyan City, she would burn incense for Madam Yan and inform her.
"Originally, my wife wanted to come to Xianyang City to meet Madam Cui in person, but her health is not good and she is not feeling well. So, we have no choice but to shamelessly ask Madam Cui to go to Pingzhou City."
After hearing this, Cui Si did not say anything, but slowly drank the red date and ginseng tea that Yanzhi brought to her.
The warm tea goes down my throat, and the gradually bleak autumn wind blows, which makes me feel a lot of emotions.
Time is silent and the autumn wind is rustling.
Huayue stood in the courtyard, feeling a little uneasy as she hadn't heard the other party speak for a long time.
Before coming to Xianyang City, she thought she was just a daughter of the Cui family and not a big shot. No matter how rich and prosperous the Xianyang Cui family was, with all the gold and jade in the house, they could never compare with the noble families in the Imperial City.
But when she came before the noble lady of the Cui family, she realized how naive she was.
Even though this noble lady was only wearing a simple light green dress, with her hair casually tied up with a green hairpin, as she sat there, gently waving a silk fan, her aura was so oppressive that people didn't even dare to raise their heads.
As time passed, beads of cold sweat appeared on Huayue's forehead, and she couldn't help but raise her sleeves to wipe them from time to time.
She didn't know how long it was, until her legs and feet felt weak, and then she heard a voice from above.
"What's your name?"
Cui Si finished a cup of red date and ginseng tea, placed the cup on the table, and then glanced at the person standing in front of her.
"My name is Huayue."
"Hua Yue, what a nice name. In the spring breeze and leisurely years, we enjoy the flowers and the moon together. It is the most prosperous spring in the world." Cui Si said with a smile in her tone and there was a smile in the corners of her eyes.
But those who know her well know for sure that she is not a person who likes to laugh. The lighter she laughs, the more ruthless she will be when she strikes.
After receiving such a compliment, Hua Yue felt as if a cool breeze was blowing, and the pressure on her body was instantly lifted. The sweat on her forehead also dissipated with the wind, and she felt relaxed all over.
She couldn't help but feel a little dizzy with this comfort.
Look, this is the benefit of following the right master. Even the daughter of the Cui family, who is of such noble status, is fawning on her, a maid.
"My wife gave it to me." Hua Yue raised her head, a little proud. "Madam Cui, there is no better woman in this world than my wife."
"Oh, really? Your wife thinks highly of you?"
"Of course. My wife saved me when I was in danger and didn't leave me behind when she was escaping." Hua Yue tilted her head with a slight smile on her lips, obviously very satisfied with her current situation.
"Madam Cui, please come with me. If my wife gets impatient and tells the King of Beiyan, it will be disastrous. Not only Madam Cui, but the entire Cui family will suffer."
This is really not light at all.
Cui Si laughed again: "My entire Cui family will suffer? Did you say that, or did your master say that?"
Hua Yue paused for a moment as the words were about to come out of her mouth. Somehow, she suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Cui Si held the fan handle with her slender fingers and shook it slightly: "If she said this, I would have to have a good talk with her and ask her what she meant. What does the King of Northern Yan mean?
If that's what you said, then you are falsely conveying your master's intentions, hoping to provoke a conflict between my Cui clan and Northern Yan. Your intentions are culpable, and your crimes deserve death."
Huayue's face was pale and her hands were shaking.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Cui Si shook her head. "You said that yourself. If I made your Madam Lin wait impatiently, and the King of Northern Yan blamed me, my entire Cui family would suffer. How come, after so little time, you're already denying what you said?"
Huayue only felt a chill rising from under her feet, and soon, her whole body was cold.
Cui Si smiled and said, "Alright, what are you afraid of? I just want to remind you that since you are your master's maid, your words and actions also represent her. You must think twice before speaking. Be careful not to say anything that may harm both you and your master."
"The Lin family has been very kind to the King of Northern Yan, but the contributions of my Cui family to Northern Yan are also obvious to all. Not to mention that the King of Northern Yan has not yet conquered the world, even if he did, he would not dare to say that my entire Cui family would suffer."
"Once you say this, you're going to stir up internal strife within Northern Yan. If you, a person from the Imperial City, say something like this and it gets out, you're probably not going to have a good ending."
Huayue's face was pale without a trace of blood.
"If you say something wrong, you have to pay the price. How about this, considering it's your first offense, I won't make things difficult for you. When you go back, persuade your wife to return to Beiyan City. I'll pretend this matter never happened. How do you do that?"
Hua Yue was delighted when she heard this: "You really don't mind me?"
"Once the words are spoken, they are a gentleman's promise." Cui Si reached out and caught a yellow leaf that fell from the tree.
"Since Madam Lin is feeling unwell, you should try to persuade her to stop overthinking and rest. Just mind your own business and don't interfere with other people's affairs."
What else could Hua Yue say at this moment? Naturally, she nodded repeatedly in gratitude: "Madam Cui, don't worry, I will persuade my wife well."
Cui Si smiled and said, "That's great. I haven't been feeling well these days, so I'm afraid I won't be able to go as planned. I can only thank Madam Lin for her kindness. Yanzhi."
"The maid is here." Hou Yanzhi, who was standing beside him, stepped forward.
"Please prepare a gift for me to thank Madam Lin for her kindness."
"yes."
When Hua Yue left with the gifts prepared by the Cui family, she felt a little dazed and didn't know how things turned out like this.
Well... this Madam Cui is very noble, and her temperament is very kind and tolerant.
But it seems like something is wrong.
