Chapter 32 After drinking, we are brothers
"Shot by an arrow? Is he injured or dead?" Cui Si was also shocked.
The maid replied, "I heard he was injured in the arm and bled a lot. He was brought back to the main house late last night. The lady was so frightened that she almost fainted."
He’s not dead, Cui Si thought to herself what a pity.
Cui Yun, this troublemaker, really hopes that she will die soon and the Cui family will live a peaceful life soon.
"How is the person?" Old Mrs. Xu asked again.
"The arrow was pulled out, and the bleeding has stopped. It's nothing serious."
......
At this time, in the main house of the Cui family, Cui Yun, who had just woken up, started to make a fuss.
"Mother, they dared to hurt me, they actually dared to hurt me!"
"The King of Northern Yan doesn't take our Cui family seriously at all. He even wants to attack me, the daughter of the head of the family."
"Mother, please ask all the uncles to seek justice for me. Otherwise, our Cui family will never give up!"
Mrs. Cui did not sleep all night last night. She dealt with the interrogation of the Cui family members in the first half of the night and took care of her injured and unconscious daughter in the second half of the night. She was exhausted now.
Seeing my daughter finally wake up and start making a fuss again, I was really worried.
"What will it take for you to give up?"
"Of course... Of course he has to marry me as his queen." Cui Yun opened her mouth and her pale face flushed with excitement.
"Queen, Queen, you only know the Queen!" Mrs. Cui was so angry that she almost threw the teacup.
"You said you wanted an explanation from the King of Northern Yan. The King of Northern Yan also asked us, the Cui clan, for an explanation. What were you doing in the courtyard next to Yayuan?"
Yayuan is a courtyard built by the Cui family. It is smaller than the main residence of the Cui family, but the courtyard is very elegant and grand. It is used by the Cui family to entertain distinguished guests. The houses next to it are arranged for the accompanying people to live in.
"Do you know that if the King of Northern Yan blames us, saying that our Cui family has ulterior motives and wants to assassinate him, just this claim alone can be used to send troops to pacify our Xianyang City and exterminate the Cui family!"
"Besides, don't you see what you look like now? Are you crazy about wanting to marry the King of Northern Yan? If the news gets out, who knows how many people will laugh at you for being shameless!"
Anyone who knew about this matter knew that Cui Yun wanted to seduce the King of Northern Yan and offer herself to him, but she failed and was instead mistaken for an assassin and shot by an arrow.
It's really embarrassing.
Mrs. Cui felt both ashamed and exhausted.
"What's the point of having a face? When I become queen, who will dare to mention these things? Who will dare not treat me with respect?"
Cui Yun bit her lips tightly, she was really unwilling to accept it.
Although the King of Northern Yan came to Xianyang City in person to choose a wife this time, she knew that with her body condition, the King of Northern Yan probably would not be interested in her.
In this case, she could only think of other ways.
This is the most direct and effective method.
If the King of Northern Yan was attracted by her singing and wanted to marry her, all her hard work would be worthwhile.
"You...you really are..." Madam Cui was almost mad at her. "Can't you use your brain to think about it? You took a risk. If you can become the queen, it's fine. If not, it will be a disgrace. You won't even be able to keep your original dignity and respect."
Mrs. Cui experienced the collapse of dignity and the loss of people's hearts most clearly last night.
After this incident, I'm afraid everyone in the clan will be very dissatisfied with her as the wife of the head of the family, and it will be difficult for her to manage the Cui clan in the future.
"Madam." At this moment, a maid came to report, "The Third Master and the Third Young Master are already waiting in the outer courtyard. They want to know when Madam will go to Yayuan?"
When Mrs. Cui heard this, her face turned a little ugly.
Last night, she had promised the Cui clan that they would go to Yayuan today to apologize to the King of Northern Yan.
Although she didn't want to go, if she didn't care about anything and let the second and third branches handle the matter, then in the future, the eldest branch would have no say in the affairs of the clan.
The eldest branch of the family caused trouble and waived the responsibility, while the second and third branches cleaned up the mess to protect the reputation and future of the Cui family.
The Cui clan members knew who to follow.
So, she had to go on this trip.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
"Mother is going to see the King of Northern Yan? I want to go too." Cui Yun was so excited when she heard this that she didn't care about the wound on her arm. She ordered the maid, "Go and get my pomegranate skirt. Also, bring my rouge and powder."
Mrs. Cui's expression changed slightly: "A'yun, don't make trouble."
"I'm not fooling around." Cui Yun didn't think she was fooling around. She begged Mrs. Cui, "Mother, this is my only chance."
"It was too dark last night, and we were so far away that the King of Beiyan didn't see me, and he couldn't talk to me. If I had met the King of Beiyan earlier, and he had taken a liking to me, he might have married me as his queen. There would have been no need for Cui Yao and Cui Si."
"Let's talk about this later. You can't do anything reckless this time. Be obedient." Mrs. Cui refused coldly.
The current situation is already chaotic enough, and Cui Yun acts recklessly. If she goes, what if she offends the King of Northern Yan again?
The position of queen is certainly attractive, and Mrs. Cui really wants her daughter to be queen, but now she is really afraid that Cui Yun will continue to act recklessly and harm the Cui family.
She not only has a daughter, but also a son.
"Ah'an, listen to your mother this time. I will plan for you in the future."
After saying this, Mrs. Cui turned around and left. In order to prevent Cui Yun from chasing her, she also ordered people to keep an eye on Cui Yun.
After washing up and changing into appropriate clothes, Mrs. Cui went to the outer courtyard and went to Yayuan with Mr. Cui Sanye, Cui Jing and others.
When they arrived at the gate of Yayuan, Mr. Cui Sanye reminded her, "Sister-in-law, this time you are going to pay a visit to the monarch. This concerns the future of our Cui family. Don't talk nonsense like you did last night and anger the monarch."
Madam Cui's face darkened slightly, and she replied in a cold voice, "Uncle San should take care of himself. Don't be greedy for things that don't belong to you."
Since it didn't involve Cui Yun, Mrs. Cui's sanity had more or less returned.
Mr. Cui squinted his eyes and smiled: "I would also like to say this to my sister-in-law."
Cui Jing took two steps back and stayed out of the matter. After the two men had argued for a few words and calmed down, they stepped forward together and presented the visiting card.
Not long after, they saw Shen Mo hurried over and invited them in: "The master has been waiting for a long time, please come in."
Chen Mo was only sixteen or seventeen years old, still a teenager, but he went to the battlefield when he was thirteen or fourteen years old. He was dressed in a white robe and silver armor and carried a red tasseled spear. He killed enemies in fear and was known as the "Little General in White Robe".
Like his brother Shen Sui, he is the most trusted confidant among Yan Xingchuan's confidants.
He came to greet them in person, and the Cui family members were a little flattered.
"Thank you, General Shen." Cui Jing expressed his gratitude.
Chen Mo put a hand on Cui Jing's shoulder and said with a laugh, "Cui Sanlang, can I call you Cui San?"
"General Shen, please feel free to do as you please."
"What General Shen? You're too polite. I call you Cui San, and you call me Shen Er. I think you're a really nice person. How about we have a drink together later?"
My Lord's future uncle, let's have a drink together.
After we have a drink, we will be brothers.
