Chapter 26 Please, Second Aunt, consider Cui’s sake and the overall situation!
All the things in the past were like stones that he had lifted, now hitting his feet directly and making blood flow.
Mrs. Cui finally woke up from her trance.
Since the death of her mother-in-law, this second aunt no longer interfered in the affairs of the family and became an old lady who lived a life of luxury and ignored worldly affairs.
But she had been praised for too long, and she felt so proud that she thought she was capable and could control everything about the Cui family. She even forgot how cruel the old lady's methods were.
Now, as soon as she made a move, she suffered such a big setback.
It is true that she wanted to use the hand of the King of Northern Yan to force Cui to agree to let Cui Si be a dowry concubine to Cui Yun.
But once Cui Si gets engaged, and the King of Northern Yan really wants to marry her, what should he do?
If Cui disagrees, how can she explain this to the King of Northern Yan?
If Cui agreed, the King of Northern Yan would force the engaged Cui daughter to be his concubine.
No matter which one, they have offended the master.
"No, no, Second Aunt has misunderstood, misunderstood!" Mrs. Cui's hands were shaking. She knew that she might have gotten into big trouble.
"If Second Aunt is willing, she will naturally marry the King of Northern Yan. How could she become the future Queen and become a concubine?"
And marry her and become the queen in the future?
Old Mrs. Xu snorted softly and looked at Mrs. Cui and smiled. As she smiled, the smile became colder and colder.
Mrs. Cui's scalp was tingling and her heart was so tense that she almost couldn't hold it together.
After a long while, Mrs. Xu said, "Madam, please go back. I will just pretend that you have never been here. We don't care about the queen or not."
"Besides, it's Wu Niang who's going to marry the King of Northern Yan as queen. This was decided by Madam in front of all the women of the Cui clan. There's nothing wrong with Liu Niang getting engaged."
"Second aunt." Madam Cui couldn't hold it in any longer. "I know it was my fault before. It's... it's that a visiting card has already been sent to Pingzhou City. It's probably already in the hands of the King of Northern Yan.
If the Prince of Northern Yan has agreed and comes to marry her, and Liu Niang has promised someone else, what will Cui Shi do if she can't find someone?"
"Please, Second Aunt, think about the Cui family and the overall situation!"
"What a joke!" Old Madam Xu threw her waist fan on the table, furious.
"So you did something evil and wanted to harm my Liuniang, but you also wanted her to consider the overall situation and give herself to your daughter as a concubine for the sake of the Cui family?"
"What kind of logic is this!"
"I don't care about the overall situation. I only know that you should solve the mess you created yourself. Whether you send your concubine's daughter as a dowry or you give your daughter a dowry yourself, it has nothing to do with us."
Mrs. Cui was so anxious that her mouth was about to bubble. "But Second Uncle, are you really going to disregard the future of the Cui family? If so, how can you be worthy of our ancestors?"
"It is you who has let down our ancestors. If the Cui family falls, you will be the main culprit." Old Madam Xu sneered.
"Until now, you have only wanted to use Cui's future to force me to submit, to force me not to marry Liu Niang to someone else, but to wait for her to be your daughter's dowry, to be your daughter's stepping stone, and to help her become the queen."
"How could it be..."
"If the King of Northern Yan accepts the invitation and asks the Fourth Lady to marry him and the Sixth Lady to be his concubine, can the Cui family change their mind?"
Mrs. Cui opened her mouth.
Of course not.
So Cui Si could only be a concubine.
Old Madam Xu sneered, "So in the end, the solution was for Liu Niang to bite her teeth, accept it, and become a concubine."
Madam Cui said, "But that invitation has already been sent out and is now in the hands of the Prince of Northern Yan. Second aunt, even if I am at fault in this matter, you should still consider the future of the Cui family."
"Alright." Old Madam Xu didn't want to argue with her again. She patted her sleeves and stood up. "I have something else to do, so I won't say any more to you, Madam. Please go back. Someone, take Madam away."
Mrs. Cui refused to give up. After a moment's thought, she knelt down and said, "Second Uncle, please, please think about the future of the Cui family!"
"If you don't agree, I won't get up."
Are you starting to cheat just because you can't win the argument?
Old Madam Xu sneered: "Then kneel down."
Mrs. Cui probably forgot that she, an old lady, came from a family of military generals and had been a tough person since she was young. She would not back down or be soft-hearted just because someone was clinging to her.
"Since you want to kneel, then kneel down. Come, keep an eye on the lady."
After Mrs. Xu gave the order, she walked out.
When Mrs. Cui saw that she was about to leave, she was about to stand up to stop her, but as she stood up and turned around, she saw that the maid guarding the door actually started to close the door.
Mrs. Cui's face changed drastically, and she stepped forward quickly: "Quick, stop them!"
It's too late.
When the maid brought by Mrs. Cui rushed to the door, the door was completely closed. A maid was pulling it from the outside and took out an iron chain to lock the door directly.
Mrs. Cui was so angry that her eyes turned red: "Open the door! Open the door quickly!"
She thought that if she stayed here, Old Madam Xu would not be able to continue with the marriage.
I never thought that Mrs. Xu was also a cruel person. You refuse to leave, right? Okay, so that you don’t cause trouble, I’ll just lock you up here.
"Open the door! You guys are so brave!"
"I am the Cui family's mistress! I am the Cui family's head wife!"
However, in the inner house of the second house, the servants respected the masters of the second house. When they saw Madam Cui and others knocking on the door and making noise, someone took out a column of smoke, broke the window paper and put it inside. Soon, the noise completely stopped.
Old Mrs. Xu returned to the main courtyard of the outer courtyard, fanning herself with a waist fan, and continued to chat and laugh with everyone.
Old Mrs. Shen asked her, "Where's the Madam?"
"Madam, you are feeling a little dizzy. Please rest here with me. We will continue."
At this moment, someone came outside to report that Cui Yun had arrived.
Old Madam Xu raised her eyelids and said, "I think she is here to look for her mother. Someone, please take her to her mother."
Old Mrs. Xu sent the mother and daughter away to keep each other company without blinking, and then continued to greet everyone.
After the marriage was finalized, the two sides exchanged tokens, and the guests left, she breathed a sigh of relief and returned to her residence to see Mrs. Cui and her daughter:
"Madam, Liu Niang's marriage has already been decided. You absolutely cannot go back on your word in front of so many people."
"As for the future when the King of Northern Yan wants someone, there's really no way. You can just send Awu and Amei to him as concubines. If you give him one more, perhaps the King of Northern Yan won't mind."
Mrs. Cui had just woken up and heard that the marriage had been decided. She was so angry that she almost vomited blood:
"Second aunt, you are going to ruin the future of my Cui family!"
"It's over! Cui's future is over..."
