Chapter 29 What? Are you teasing the Master?
Is Cui Si engaged?
The tension in Yan Xingchuan's brain snapped, and his face instantly darkened.
Seeing this, Shen Mo beside him was unsure what he was thinking, but he knew that he was angry, so he questioned the Cui clan members:
"What's wrong with you, Cui family? If she's the girl you're going to be engaged to, why do you still write her name on the name card? Are you kidding me?"
When Cui Jing heard that Cui Si was engaged this morning, he was shocked, but then he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that my family members are not stupid and are not waiting to be plotted against.
"King of Northern Yan, please forgive me." The Cui family members were so frightened that they kowtowed and apologized.
Cui Sanye said, "King Beiyan, this name is wrong!"
"What's wrong?" Yan Xingchuan frowned. He always felt that the Cui family was a little different from the previous life. It was a mess, as if the people's morale was scattered.
Mr. Cui San said, "It's impossible that the name card says Fourth Mother and Sixth Mother. It should be my Fifth Mother, Cui Yao."
"Cui Yao?" Yan Xingchuan frowned even deeper.
Then Cui Yun showed up and not only wanted to marry him, but also wanted Cui Si to be her dowry and concubine. Now Cui Yao showed up again.
"That's right." Third Master Cui nodded. "The matter of Wu Niang was decided after the head of the family, the two old ladies of the clan, and all the ladies. That day, the head of the family personally wrote a visiting card, and my fourth and sixth brothers sent it to Pingzhou City together."
"What about the name card presented earlier?" Yan Xingchuan's face darkened slightly. "This was presented by your family head himself. Could it be fake?"
"This... this may be a deliberate frame-up by someone to harm our Cui family..." Mr. Cui San was sweating profusely.
"What a joke." Chen Mo sneered. "Are you Cui clan members so stupid that you dare to submit your own name cards without even knowing whether they are genuine? What? Can't you even do such a thing?"
This statement directly points to Cui's incompetence.
Everyone in the Cui family broke out in cold sweat.
Cui Jing hurriedly said, "It is indeed my Cui family who made a mistake in this matter. I hope the King of Beiyan and General Shen will not be angry."
"It's getting late now. The Lord and General Shen have been busy all day. It's better to pack up and rest for a while. Tomorrow, Cui will definitely give the Lord an explanation."
Yan Xingchuan looked up at him and finally nodded: "Alright, then I will give you, Cui Sanlang, this favor. You, Cui family, should sort out the matter and come back to talk to me tomorrow."
Cui Jing breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, King of Northern Yan."
Finally, he said, "Please ask the King of Beiyan and General Shen to move to Yayuan for a rest."
Cui Jing and Mr. Cui Sanye personally escorted the people to Cui's villa, and ordered people to prepare meals. Then they left in a hurry. As soon as they walked out of the gate of Yayuan, the smiles on their faces disappeared at all.
"What's going on?"
"Where is the head of the family?"
The two asked in unison.
Cui Jing walked forward with a gloomy face, and told what happened in Pingzhou City.
Speaking of Patriarch Cui, Cui Jing's face darkened. "The King of Northern Yan wanted to ride to Xianyang City on horseback, but Patriarch Cui said he was too old to travel, so he asked us young men to accompany him."
Mr. Cui San sneered: "So he hid himself because something happened."
"I have a rough idea of what happened. At the Spring Festival banquet that day, when the bride was chosen, Fourth Lady suddenly went crazy and announced that she wanted to get married. She also specifically requested Sixth Lady to be her concubine."
"It was a mess back then. Sixth Lady also disagreed with being a concubine, but the Master's wife and Fourth Lady secretly did it. They secretly sent someone to deliver the name card to Pingzhou City. The Master must have known about this when he presented the name card."
However, the head of the Cui family never expected that Yan Xingchuan not only did not accept this good opportunity of marrying one and getting two, but suddenly became angry and gave Cui Jing the opportunity to object.
"On the second day after the name card was sent out, Si Niang, probably feeling that the matter was settled, became overly complacent and revealed the matter herself.
Later, your grandmother called my mother to the master's house to ask for an explanation. The master's wife denied the incident, so the two of them forced her to choose a candidate on the spot. That's how the second name card came about. The name on the card was my fifth daughter."
"The second visiting card was sent to Pingzhou City by your fourth and sixth uncles themselves. Did you see it?"
Cui Jing shook his head: "They walked slowly, maybe they missed it."
Third Master Cui added, "Your grandmother probably felt that something was amiss with the eldest son's family, and was uneasy, so she immediately arranged a marriage for Liu Niang."
"Grandma, you did a great job!" Cui Jing exclaimed. "It's true that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure!"
If the old lady had not done this, Yan Xingchuan would have really accepted the invitation and agreed to this good deal of marrying one and getting two, and Cui Si would have been in real danger.
For the future of the Cui family, it is estimated that the Cui clan will force her to become a concubine.
Thinking of this, Cui Jing's face looked a little ugly.
The eldest son's behavior is really too ugly.
"Tell me, what should we do about this situation?" Mr. Cui San was also in a headache. "The eldest branch has really gone crazy. It's causing trouble for my Cui family!"
Cui Jing thought for a moment and said, "Let's go and invite the two old ladies and the elders of the clan, and then invite Madam over to find out exactly what happened and who is at fault. We can't just leave things as it is."
"As for what to do, the Cui clan will then go and apologize to the King of Northern Yan and see which Cui daughter he chooses as queen."
At this point, this is all we can do.
Mr. Cui thought for a moment and said, "If you want the Cui clan to nominate someone, Mr. Sanlang must remember my Fifth Mother."
"Sure." Cui Jing agreed with a smile.
Since Cui Si was already engaged, it was only natural to recommend Cui Yao. Moreover, after this incident, he no longer trusted the eldest son of the family and would not consider Cui Yun at all.
After Cui Jing and Mr. Cui Sanye returned to the main house, they ordered people to invite all the influential people in the clan, and then sent someone to invite Mrs. Cui to come.
Madam Cui was furious: "These people are so outrageous! They are trying to interrogate me, and I'm the wife of the head of the family! They are so bold!"
Mrs. Cui had been noble for half her life and had always cared about her reputation, but she never expected that all the reputation she had accumulated for half her life would be thrown away on this one day.
In the morning, he knelt before Old Lady Xu and was locked up. In the evening, he was interrogated by the Cui family members like a criminal.
"Why didn't the master come back?"
Why didn't you come back?!
If Patriarch Cui were here, she wouldn't be so isolated and helpless!
Unfortunately, no one answered her question.
The people in the outer courtyard tried to invite Madam Cui again and again but failed. Soon, Madam Xu and Madam Shen came in with all the female members of the Cui family.
Old Madam Xu waved her waist fan gently and said slowly, "Madam, the clan has something to ask you. Please move aside."
Seeing these people rushing in so majestically, Madam Cui was shaking with anger: "You... you dare to trespass into the Cui family's main residence without permission. You are truly very brave!"
