Chapter 410 Why don’t you come in? Do you want me to treat you?
When Cui Si woke up from her nap, it was already afternoon.
It was freezing outside, with a cold wind howling, but the quilt was warm and she lay there unwilling to move. For a moment, she really wanted to stay in the quilt forever.
Sleep a little longer...
She was about to close her eyes and fall back asleep when Yanzhi lifted the bed curtains and called her to get up: "Madam, get up."
Yanzhi called out several times before Cui Si reluctantly and drowsily replied, "Let me sleep a little longer."
Yanzhi bit her lip, a little anxious: "Don't sleep, Sanlangjun is back."
Cui Si was originally lazy and didn't want to move, but after a while she remembered something, suddenly opened her eyes, and then struggled to get up.
Yanzhi hurriedly helped her up: "Madam, go slower."
"Who did you say is back?" Cui Si suddenly woke up.
"It's Sanlangjun who's back." Yanzhi bit her lip again, her face full of worry. "He arrived this morning. My wife was talking to Ninth Lady and Lady Chang at that time. Later, my wife went to bed, so I didn't disturb her."
Cui Si's heart beat rapidly, and she asked hurriedly, "Where is he now?"
Yanzhi said, "Just wait in the side hall. When my wife wakes up, I'll get up and see him."
Cui Si’s eyes went dark and she almost fainted from fright.
"So, what did he say?"
"I didn't say anything, but I heard that Sanlangjun and... and the master had a fight..."
"Did they really fight?" Cui Si was stunned at first, then became anxious, "Are there any injuries?"
"I don't know about this..."
Seeing that she could not get anything out of her, Cui Si quickly asked her to bring her clothes and put them on, then washed her face and went to the side hall.
At this moment, Cui Jing was sitting on the couch by the window, flipping through a book. Hearing footsteps, he didn't even raise his head and said, "Come here."
Cui Si, on the other hand, stood at the door for a long time, not daring to go in. She was hesitant and indecisive, feeling guilty and afraid of being beaten.
Otherwise, she just ran away, right?
Cui Si was just thinking about this when the person inside said, "What's wrong? Are you scared? Aren't you very brave?"
When Cui Jing said this, the anger that he had just suppressed suddenly surged up again. He turned his head to look at the door and saw his stupid sister standing there.
She was wearing a crabapple-colored dress that reached the ground, a wide-sleeved winter coat, and her hair was casually scattered on her shoulders. She looked very lazy and casual, and her face was rosy and shiny. She didn't look like she had been wronged at all.
If her belly wasn't already quite big, who would have known that she could do such a ridiculous thing.
Cui Jing was so angry that he almost vomited blood when he thought about it.
"Why don't you come in? Do you want me to treat you?"
"I dare not, I dare not." Cui Si showed an awkward and forced smile, but finally did not dare to delay any longer. She raised her feet and walked inside carefully, then sat down carefully opposite Cui Jing.
Song Lu gave her a new hand warmer and a lamp of hot water.
When Cui Jing saw her sitting down, she lowered her head and dared not speak. He glanced at her and then instructed the maid, "Move the brazier closer to her."
If she wasn't still pregnant, the beating she received today would be considered a light punishment.
However, seeing her keeping silent with her head down and looking uneasy, Cui Jing finally softened his heart and couldn't bear to blame her anymore.
If anyone is to blame, it’s all that bastard Yan Xingchuan’s fault!
He really hit him too lightly just now!
The maids took the order and moved the brazier towards Cui Si so that she could feel warmer.
The brother and sister were silent for a long time. Cui Jing picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. After carefully considering his words, he asked her, "What are you going to do, child? What is your father going to do?"
"I just had someone chase Yan Xingchuan away and told him to get out immediately, but he refused, saying he wanted to stay with you. Even if I had to chase him away, I still had to ask your opinion. What do you mean?"
"A'si, do you want him to leave or stay? Do you want to give this child to him or take him back to the Cui family?"
"Take him back to the Cui family?" Cui Si was stunned and didn't understand what Cui Jing meant for a moment.
Cui Jing said, "I've thought about it. If you don't want to be entangled with him anymore, but you can't bear to part with the child, then take him back to the Cui family and I'll raise him for you."
"I'll get married soon, and when the child is older, I'll bring him home and say he's mine. He's only one year older, so you can't tell. From now on, he'll be a member of the Cui family."
If she didn't want to get entangled with Yan Xingchuan but still wanted a child, this was the greatest help he could give her as her brother.
"If you think this arrangement is appropriate, I will tell Yan Xingchuan to get out right now."
That bastard should be kicked out and stop being an eyesore in front of him.
"No." Cui Si was stunned with shock, then immediately refused after coming to her senses.
Cui Jing's expression changed slightly. "Why, you still can't bear to let go of Yan Xingchuan? After all the injustices you've suffered, you still can't forget him?"
"That's not the case." Cui Si shook her head. The fact that Cui Jing could do this showed that he really cared about her and cared about her, but she could never agree to it.
"I know Third Brother loves me and wants to help me, but if we do this, it will be unfair to his future children. And what about Sister-in-law? How can it be fair to her to raise someone else's child as her own?"
Cui Jing frowned: "You don't have to think too much about this. My future children and your children will be close relatives in the future. As for your sister-in-law, talk to her clearly beforehand. There will always be someone willing."
"As long as you want to keep this child, the Cui family will keep it for you, my brother will keep it for you, you don't have to be afraid of Yan Xingchuan."
Cui Si still shook her head: "Third brother, you worry too much. Although I don't want to get married, I have already made an agreement with him. We will be together like this. As for the child, it is better for him to have the surname Yan."
Cui Jing gritted his teeth: "What's so good about this!"
She refused to get married, and the child she gave birth to was named Yan. So, are we giving the Yan family a child for nothing?
Cui Jing was very angry.
Cui Si quickly said, "Third brother, think about it carefully. If the child's surname is Cui, he will be a descendant of the Cui family and will indeed have a stable life. But if his surname is Yan, and Yan Xingchuan never marries, then everything that the Yan family should have will be his, right?"
Cui Jing said, "I've thought about all this, but if you refuse to marry him, it's ultimately not legitimate. Do you think Yan Xingchuan can really keep his promise and never marry? Do you believe it?"
Could it be that he didn't know that if the child had the surname Yan, he would get more, but since his parents were not married, he would not be legitimate.
If Yan Xingchuan gets married and has another child, the child will be in an awkward situation. If it is a girl, it will be fine, but if it is a boy, he will probably be involved in the struggle for power.
Either she marries him and the child has the surname Yan, which is legitimate and everything belongs to the child, and no one has the right to compete with him; or she takes the surname Cui, doesn't want anything, and lives in the Cui family for a peaceful life.
