Chapter 261 Is this something a human can do?
"What are you talking about?"
For a moment, Mr. Cui suspected that he had heard it wrong.
He mentioned the marriage between Shen Mo and Cui Hao to make Shen Sui feel hesitant. He thought clearly that the Shen family and the Cui family would be married in the future and could not do things too radically.
Unexpectedly, Shen Sui asked the Cui family to reconsider the marriage.
What does he mean? Does he look down on the Cui girls?
Mr. Cui Si's face was filled with disbelief, and a faint darkening appeared on his face: "What does General Shen mean by this? Do you look down on my daughter, Cui?"
Shen Sui frowned tightly, but said nothing.
He didn't act so brazenly as to criticize Cui's daughter in front of the Cui family, but his unhappy and impatient expression showed exactly what he meant.
Fourth Master Cui was so angry that he almost laughed: "Since the Shen family looked down on our Cui family, why didn't they reject this marriage proposal in the first place?"
"Our Cui family may not be as prominent as the two generals of the Shen family in Northern Yan, but we are no ordinary people either. Every noble lady of our Cui family is extremely precious, and there are thousands of men seeking to marry her. How could we allow ourselves to be humiliated by the Shen family?"
The engagement was already arranged, and now this elder brother comes to your house, expressing his disdain for your girl in words and deeds, which is clearly an attempt to humiliate you.
This is simply outrageous!
"Since the Shen family has such intentions, my Cui family will write a letter to the Lord and call off this marriage."
"Then forget it." Shen Sui didn't care at all. He could see that the Cui family was trying to threaten him with marriage, but he wouldn't fall for it.
There are tens of thousands of girls in the world, but none of them is not better than Cui's daughter.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Cui's eyes widened, and his veins bulged with anger: "Well, well, well, you are really a good General Shen."
.
Shen Mo hurried back from outside the city and found Shangguan Tong.
"I also want to go to Xianyang City."
Shangguan Tong looked up from behind the desk piled high with government affairs and glanced at him: "Boy, behave yourself."
"But I—"
"You are already engaged, and the bride will not run away. The master hasn't decided yet. Besides, General Shen, your brother is not in Miaozhou, and the master has also left. You are indispensable here."
This is the truth, but for some reason, Shen Mo felt restless and uneasy, always feeling that something was about to happen.
This feeling has no reason and is even a little inexplicable, but it really makes people feel uneasy.
Chen Mo took a deep breath. "It's strange to say. Yesterday, the Lord said he was uneasy and worried that something had happened to Princess Wang. I laughed at him in my heart, thinking he was crazy about Princess Wang, but today, I'm also feeling very nervous and uneasy."
Shen Mo scratched his head, and the whole person was a little irritable: "Sir, tell me, is there something wrong with the Cui family?"
"Something happened to the Cui family?" Shangguan Tong frowned, then immediately shook his head. "That's impossible. You know the Cui family's influence in Pingzhou. Xianyang City is the Cui family's territory, and the garrison is all from the Cui family."
"North of Pingzhou is the Jiangshui River, and beyond that are the four states of Northern Yan. To the east are Yuanzhou and Yunzhou, and to the south are Yunzhou and Laizhou. To the west... we have troops stationed in Xiangzhou as well. Even if the King of Xiling wants to engage in war with us, he will be stopped in Xiangzhou."
It can be said that the safest place in Northern Yan now is Pingzhou. Foreign tribes are eyeing the four northern states of Northern Yan covetously.
"Maybe the master has influenced you." Shangguan Tong speculated, "Don't think too much about it. Just stay in Miaozhou peacefully. Besides, even if something really happens, the master is here. He won't let anything happen to the Cui family."
Chen Mo thought about it and agreed. In addition, since Chen Sui and Yan Xingchuan had left Miaozhou one after another, he really couldn't leave. He could only give up and believed that no matter what happened, Yan Xingchuan could handle it.
He probably never dreamed that not long after he got engaged, his "good brother" would come to his house and ruin his marriage.
.
"I want to see Cui Liuniang."
At the entrance of the Cui clan's land, Shen Sui and Mr. Cui Si and others were still in a stalemate.
Shen Sui immediately said that he wanted to see Cui Si, but Mr. Cui Si and other members of the Cui family disagreed.
A man came to their Cui family for no apparent reason and asked to see their girl. How could such a thing happen? If he really saw her, where would the Cui family's reputation be?
The news spread to the clan, and soon, Mrs. Xu, Cui Si, and Cui Hao all knew about it.
"This is too much! This is really too much!" Old Madam Xu slammed the table in anger. "If the Shen family looked down on our Cui family, why didn't they say so earlier? Now that the marriage has been decided, the Shen family is disdainful of my daughter, Cui, and is even calling off the marriage."
"If you despise me so much, what were you doing earlier? This is simply too much. Let's not have this marriage!"
As Mr. Cui Si said, the Cui family is a big family, and the girls in the family are all beautiful and precious. There are countless men who want to marry them. It's not like they can't get married, so how could they suffer such humiliation?
Even if the Lord granted the marriage, there is no reason for the Shen family to humiliate them like this!
Cui Hao sat in his seat, quietly without saying a word.
Cui Si's face was not good either, but seeing how angry Old Lady Xu was, she also advised: "Grandma, please don't be angry for now. Don't make any conclusions on this matter for now."
"What? Are you still speaking for them?" Old Mrs. Xu looked at her granddaughter angrily.
"Not really." Cui Si shook her head, "It's just that the Shen brothers have never been on good terms. What Shen Sui meant might not necessarily be what Shen Mo meant."
"I heard that the betrothal gifts for Chen Mo and Ah Hao's engagement were all prepared by the King of Northern Yan. This brother acted as if he didn't exist. Now that the marriage is settled, he's come out to find fault with it. It's obvious that he doesn't care whether Chen Mo lives or dies."
When the engagement was made, he, the elder brother, acted as if he didn't exist, neither contributing nor caring about anything. Now, he has put on the airs of an elder brother, without even asking Chen Mo a single question, and directly called off the marriage, thus ruining his younger brother's marriage.
Is this something a human can do?
He ruined someone's marriage, and God will punish him with lightning. Moreover, it was his own brother's marriage. He was not even a human being by doing this.
"So what if that's the case?" Old Madam Xu snorted coldly, "Can we, the Cui family, just pretend that nothing happened and swallow this insult?"
"Jiu Niang, tell me, do you still want to marry into the Shen family?"
Cui Hao hesitated for a moment and looked at Cui Si.
Old Madam Xu said irritably, "Look at what she is doing. She should make her own decisions about her own affairs. Which of our Cui girls can't stand up on their own feet?"
Cui Hao thought for a moment and said, "What my sister said is not wrong. The Shen brothers are not on good terms. General Shen Da does not represent General Shen Xiao, and we can't just kill him all at once. That would be very unfair to General Shen Xiao."
"But I, a girl from the Cui family, will not be wronged by this. General Shen's surname is Shen after all. Even if we are brothers, we are still brothers. If the Shen family does not give the Cui family an explanation, this matter will not end well."
