Chapter 403 Meeting Chang Ru
Cui Si was worried for two days thinking about Cui Jing's coming. She had no mood to do anything during these two days and had no choice but to lie down.
Two days later, she heard the news that Madam Gan had given birth successfully, and she finally felt much better.
"Is the baby a boy or a girl?"
"My dear, it's a boy."
"A boy is fine too." Cui Si was really happy for Lady Gan. Lady Gan had already given birth to a son, so it would be a happy occasion whether the second baby was a girl or a boy.
"Song Lu, go and deliver the things that you have prepared for the child and Madam Gan. Ask her family to take good care of her and the child."
Song Lu nodded repeatedly in agreement, then went to get the prepared gifts and went to visit.
Cui Hao also breathed a sigh of relief: "Now I can finally rest assured. When the baby is born, it won't be hungry."
Cui Hao was saddened by Madam Zhou's incident for a while. Among the people Cui Si had found, only Madam Gan was left. If something went wrong, how would he feed the child?
Now that the birth went smoothly and both mother and child are safe, I feel a lot more at ease.
After sighing, Cui Hao looked at Cui Si's belly with sparkling eyes: "Sister, do you like a boy or a girl?"
"I like them all."
"So, sister, do you think this baby is a boy or a girl?"
Cui Si smiled and said to her, "That depends on what fate gives me. Whether it's a boy or a girl, it's all mine. But I hope it's a boy this time."
"Ah?" Cui Hao was a little confused.
Isn't this a contradiction?
It depends on fate, but I also hope it's a boy.
Cui Si said, "Because I had a mother-son relationship with someone in one lifetime, I want to have a relationship with him again in this life. I want him to come to this world and see what it is like."
She didn't want a son or a daughter, she just wanted her child.
Cui Hao was confused and didn't understand.
Cui Si smiled and said, "Well, whether it's a boy or a girl, as long as I give birth to them, they are all your nephews."
This made sense. Cui Hao nodded and didn't pursue it further.
At this moment, a maid came to report that General Chang and Madam Chang had arrived. Madam Chang said she wanted to see her, and Yan Xingchuan asked her if she wanted to see her.
Cui Si thought about it, touched her belly, and nodded: "Then let her come."
She didn't intend to keep this a secret forever, and she knew what kind of person Chang Ru was. She wasn't the kind of person who would talk nonsense outside.
Cui Hao scratched his sleeves, a little nervous: "Then I'll have someone prepare hot tea and food."
In fact, Cui Hao didn't want Cui Si to meet these people, fearing that they would say nonsense, but Cui Si had her own decisions and didn't seem to care about the gossip, so she could only listen to her sister.
After a while, Cui Hao went to the gate of the yard to greet Chang Ru.
"Mrs. Chang."
"Madam Cui Jiu."
After the two of them exchanged greetings, Cui Hao invited Chang Ru to walk into the courtyard. "Madam Chang, please come in. My sister is right there. Madam Chang, are you feeling better?"
Chang Ru nodded. "I caught a cold before, and I was tired from the bumpy ride. I'll be fine after a couple of days of rest. By the way, is Princess Wang feeling well? Have you called a doctor?"
Cui Hao paused, not knowing how to explain, and could only nod: "It's okay, it's okay. I've called a doctor."
The two of them exchanged greetings as they walked through the courtyard and entered the main hall. As soon as they walked in, they felt a surge of warmth, as if they had entered spring from the cold winter, and their whole bodies began to warm up.
"Mrs. Chang, please come this way." Cui Hao asked Chang Ru to walk to the side hall on the left.
At this moment, Cui Si was sitting by the window with a brazier in front of her. The charcoal fire in the brazier was burning quietly, emitting bursts of warmth.
She was wearing loose and warm clothes, with her hair tied up in a simple bun, the rest of her hair falling on her shoulders. Her face was not made up, and she looked simple, gentle, and casual.
Chang Ru looked up and was stunned.
Cui Si smiled and said, "Madam Chang, please take a seat."
Chang Ru subconsciously walked over and sat down opposite her, feeling a little overwhelmed.
Cui Si said, "You don't have to think too much. I do have a child with him, and it should be born in a month or so. It's just that for some reason, we haven't married. This has nothing to do with others. It's just the wish of the two of us."
"But why?" Chang Ru asked subconsciously.
She was not a nosy person, and she would not point fingers at a stranger she had just met. However, this matter was truly shocking and puzzling.
If Cui Si was an ordinary young lady, her status would not be high enough and the master would not be able to marry her. She could only accompany him as a concubine, without any name or status.
But she is the legitimate daughter of the Cui family. According to the current status of the Cui family in Northern Yan, there will be no problem for Yan Xingchuan to marry her.
There is no concern about their position, no difference in status, and no obstruction from their elders. It is really puzzling that they are still not getting married even though they are about to have a child.
Cui Si smiled and said, "This is the grudge between him and me. We also agreed that I won't marry, and he won't marry either. We will live like this. The child is ours."
Chang Ru was still a little confused, but since the matter had nothing to do with her, she accepted it quickly, nodded, and calmed down her shock.
Cui Si continued, "I heard that the Chang family is interested in marrying into the Cui family. I met you today to tell you something. According to the world's perception, if you marry into the family, you might be implicated and gossiped about."
"Besides, the decision I made was made by me, and no one else's advice would be of any use unless I had thought it through myself."
Chang Ru's face was slightly solemn.
She was not a fool, so she naturally understood what Cui Si meant. Gao Cuo had this matter with her, so she had to think carefully if she wanted to marry Cui Jing. If she agreed, she would not be able to bring this matter up again in the future.
She nodded: "Thank you for telling me, Princess Wang. I will think about it carefully."
Cui Si smiled and said, "Marriage is a major matter and one must consider it carefully before making a decision. I completely agree with this. However, it would be best for Madam Chang to meet my third brother and get to know his character and behavior before making a decision."
"Marriage is like buying shoes. They have to look good, fit well, and be comfortable. That's what's most important."
Chang Ru asked her curiously, "Does Princess Wang feel that she is not suitable for the Lord?"
Cui Si thought for a moment and commented, "We can only say that we have to make do with this."
Chang Ru nodded and asked, "I heard that Mr. Cui was engaged to a girl from the Wang family, but later she broke off the engagement because she fell ill. I would like to ask, Princess Wang, what was the reason behind this?"
Since Cui Si was frank, she didn't hide anything and wanted to ask about the things she was confused about.
Cui Si said, "It's okay to tell you, but don't spread it around. The Wang family's daughter and my cousin have been in love for a long time, and they love each other, so my family canceled the engagement and each of them got married."
