Chapter 282 He Did Not Forget His Hatred, Nor Did He Lose His Fighting Spirit
"What should I do? I don't know what to do." Chen Mo had a headache. "That crybaby has been wronged and looked down upon because of me. I wonder if his eyes will be filled with anger."
"And the Cui family. These clans value face the most. This matter is not over yet."
Speaking of this, Shen Mo really gritted his teeth: "In the final analysis, he just doesn't take me to heart, so he doesn't care about my future.
When he gets married, I'll start scolding her on the first day for being ugly and shameless, and on the second day I'll scold her family for being mean and full of prostitutes and thieves. I wonder if he cares anymore!"
This... this is so vicious.
Yan Xingchuan coughed and said, "Although he hasn't married yet, he's engaged. Have you forgotten about General Chang's daughter? If you don't give him face, you should at least give General Chang face, right?"
"But, it seems like they've been engaged for a while, why haven't they gotten married yet?"
Shen Mo regained his composure after hearing this, and then he remembered who Shen Sui was engaged to. "It's been a long time. Sister Chang is already... nineteen this year. It's been delayed year after year. Poor Sister Chang, she's been waiting for him for four years since the engagement, and now she doesn't know how long she'll have to wait."
Yan Xingchuan stretched out his hand and frowned, and he remembered something.
When Chen Sui got married, Madam Chang was already 21 years old. Less than three months later, Chen Sui brought back a woman and took her as his concubine. He also said that the concubine had saved his life and asked Madam Chang to take good care of her.
Unexpectedly, the woman was not content with what she had. Relying on Shen Sui's favor and preference, she made chaos in the house and almost caused Mrs. Chang to lose her child. She also caused General Chang to go to the Shen family with a knife to kill them.
Later, Cui Si stepped in and punished the concubine, pinning her down. She also asked the Shen family to apologize to the Chang family and take good care of Mrs. Chang. Only then was the matter over.
Later, with the support of Queen Cui Si, Madam Chang was able to suppress the concubine's thoughts, ensuring the stability of the Shen family's inner house and allowing Shen Sui to have no worries.
Madam Chang and Shen Sui only had one son, but the concubine and Shen Sui had three sons and one daughter. The two lived like a married couple, making Madam Chang look like an outsider.
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for Cui Si's protection, Madam Chang and the child might have been killed by those people.
Yan Xingchuan thought for a moment and said, "What do you think? Should we find a new marriage for Madam Chang? So that she won't have to wait forever?"
It would be fine if he didn't know, but he knew that Shen Sui was a trap, and General Chang was also his subordinate, so he couldn't just stand by and watch.
"Who to change?"
"What do you think of Cui Jing?"
Yes, Yan Xingchuan immediately thought of Cui Jing.
In his previous life, Cui Jing was very reluctant to get married because his wife had an affair with someone and framed him for the child. He didn't get married until he was in his early thirties.
He married Xu Dazhi's biological daughter Xu Jianjia, who was only sixteen years old when she got married.
She is just a five-year-old girl.
At that time, Xu Dazhi had already died on the battlefield. When the world was at peace, the title was bestowed upon his young only son. In order to find a backer, Xu Jianjia approached Cui Jing.
This couple lived a pretty good life, but now, with the age difference between them and if Xu Dazhi lived to the end, there was a 90% chance that this marriage would be canceled.
No father would want his precious daughter to marry a man who is more than ten years older than her.
Moreover, Xu Dazhi and Cui Jing have always had a good relationship. They always call each other "Brother Xu" and "Brother". Cui Jing probably looks at Xu Jianjia as if he were his own niece.
It's not a beast, right?
"Cui... Cui San?" Chen Mo was stunned. He was almost sober.
"This isn't quite appropriate... Although Chen Sui is a rather annoying person, this is his marriage. Even though it hasn't happened yet, it doesn't mean it won't happen. If you marry his fiancée to someone else, it wouldn't be appropriate."
"Besides, the Chang family won't agree, right? Even if you are the master, you can't just randomly match people up."
That's true, Shen Sui has to give face, and there are many of these people who marry wives and concubines. Madam Chang is living well, so it can't be said that he has done anything wrong.
Yan Xingchuan took a sip of wine and said, "Forget it, never mind, let them go."
As long as no one is killed, it's fine.
The two brothers drank for half the night, and Chen Mo was still drunk when he left. As he walked, he said that he would go find Shangguan Tong and ask the elders to give him some advice and plead for him with the Cui family.
His brother doesn't act like an older brother, but with the master as his brother, and elders like Shangguan Tong, he is not alone.
Yan Xingchuan lay on the roof, looking at the cold moon in the sky. He raised his hand and stretched out his hand to hold it, as if he was holding the crescent moon in his palm.
"The moon is in my hand..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he loosened his hand, but found that the hand was still a hand, and the bright moon was still the distant moon.
And the scene just now was nothing but an illusion of his own arrogance.
The smile that had just appeared on Yan Xingchuan's face disappeared again.
If you ask how far a person can reach the moon, that is how far he has reached Cui Si's heart.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. After the celebration banquet, it's time for me to leave."
He had said before that he would not stop because of love between men and women. He would be more courageous and work harder to restore peace to the world, give her a long life in Chang'an, and avenge the Yan family to pay tribute to his ancestors.
He did not forget his hatred, nor did he lose his fighting spirit.
Three days later, Piaomiao City held a celebration banquet. On the second day after the celebration banquet, Yan Xingchuan took Cui Jing and others to Piaomiao River to select a site for building a riverside defense line.
Before leaving, Yan Xingchuan also arranged Shen Sui's appointment.
Let him rest for a month, and after his injury healed, he rushed to Xiangzhou.
Thanks to the efforts of the Cui family and the Guo family of Xiangzhou, Xiangzhou was annexed by Northern Yan only a few years ago. With Xiangzhou, Northern Yan and Xiling were separated only by Tongzhou.
Sending Shen Sui there, firstly, allows Beiyan to plan to take over Tongzhou, and secondly, prevents the King of Xiling from attacking. With Shen Sui there, Beiyan's western border will be stable.
A month later, Shen Sui recovered from his illness, accepted the appointment, and set off with his personal guards.
Shangguan Tong personally saw him off.
"My Lord, what I mean is that Northern Yan should focus on defense now, recuperate, train the army, and avoid a large-scale war with Xiling. If we can capture Tongzhou, we should take it. If not, we should maintain a stalemate and see how the battle between the King of Xiling and the King of Nanhuai goes."
"After the results come out, as the general, you will naturally judge whether Northern Yan should send troops."
Shen Sui was not a good person, but he was very good at fighting, and no one doubted that.
Shangguan Tong sighed inwardly and reminded him, "Whether you like the Cui family or not, Wang Ji is the wife chosen by the master, and you have to give the master face.
When you arrive in Xiangzhou and meet the Cui clan, it is best to get along harmoniously. If the Cui clan does not provoke you, you must not cause trouble again..."
