Chapter 416 Madam Chang, I'm Not a Good Person
Yan Xingchuan can tolerate a person who is not loyal to the monarch and even ignores him, but he will never leave him to his child. If Shen Mo can replace Shen Sui in the future, let Shen Sui recuperate until the end of his life.
Cui Si was also very satisfied with this decision. As long as it did not affect the overall situation, she was happy to see Shen Sui suffer misfortune. Shen Sui was willing to let her become someone's concubine, but she was not so tolerant.
She holds grudges and is very vindictive.
The matter was settled. Two days later, Yan Xingchuan brought Chen Mo to meet Cui Si, and then took him out to train the children.
As for those children, Cui Si didn't think about them anymore. She thought that if she suffered a little now, they would have a good future when they grew up, and it would be worth it.
You have to know that these people are the confidants prepared for the child, and they will at least be at the level of Yanyunwei in the future.
Because of this incident, her mood improved visibly. In the afternoon, when Chang Ru came to visit her, she was still in the mood to take people to the garden to see the plum blossoms.
"The plum blossom's proud character, unafraid of wind and snow, is truly rare." Cui Si stood beneath the tree, feeling a sense of emotion for a moment. "In the past, I was also unwilling to admit defeat. I felt that wind and snow were nothing to fear. I just let it happen."
"Later, I discovered that I wasn't afraid of the wind and snow, but I was afraid of the owner of this small piece of land. Do you know why?"
Chang Ru thought for a moment and said, "Because it can break branches."
Cui Si said, "I'm not afraid of the branches being broken. New branches will grow next spring. I'm afraid it's the other party who cut down the tree."
Chang Ru: “?!”
Perhaps not understanding what Cui Si was trying to express, Chang Ru gave an awkward yet decent smile.
Cui Si said, "In autumn, when osmanthus flowers are in full bloom, I have people make some osmanthus honey. Today, there are white snow and red plum blossoms. I will boil some white snow in water, add two red plum blossoms, and some osmanthus honey. I think it would be a very elegant thing to do."
Cui Hao immediately said, "No matter how elegant it is, Sister can't eat it."
Cui Si said, "I won't eat, but it's nice to watch you guys eat. Why, don't you want to go?"
The clothes and other supplies for the child had been prepared long ago, but it was too cold in winter, so they were not made. Cui Si had been a little bored these past few days.
"I want to go." Cui Hao nodded immediately, then asked the maid to go and get the snow, while he took Chang Ru's hand and went to pick plum branches.
Chang Ru thought of what Cui Si had said about breaking the branches, and for a moment she felt a little reluctant. She hesitated and said, "Why don't we just pick a few flowers instead of breaking the branches?"
Cui Hao didn't care: "That's fine, then pick some good-looking ones, pick more, and let everyone taste them later, so that we can have some fun together."
With something fun to do, the group of people became lively. The maid brought a teapot and filled it with two pots of clean snow, then took it back to boil. Cui Hao, Chang Ru and a group of maids, started to make plum blossom and osmanthus tea in a lively manner.
Cui Si watched and made recommendations. One suggested trying adding some dried tangerine peel, another suggested adding some dried pears, and another suggested adding some green plum wine.
Everyone tried many ways of eating it, and by the time the excitement died down, it was already evening.
Cui Si asked someone to take the return gift prepared for Chang Ru and asked Cui Jing to send her home.
Cui Jing knew that Cui Si wanted to match him with Chang Ru, and he was a little hesitant.
However, it was freezing cold, and it was not appropriate to let a female family member return home alone. Besides, he had to give some face to the Chang family. After thinking about it, Cui Jing agreed.
The two of them each took a carriage to travel, with the Cui family's carriage in front and the Chang family's carriage behind. About half an hour later, the carriages passed through the alley and arrived at the gate of the Chang family's temporary residence.
Chang Ru got off the carriage, stood there thinking for a moment, then walked forward and knocked on the carriage.
"Mr. Cui."
"What's the matter?" Cui Jing lifted the carriage curtain and looked down at her condescendingly.
Chang Ru looked up and said, "I know Mr. Cui has no intention of getting married now, but if Mr. Cui marries me, I think General Shen will be furious."
Cui Jing raised his eyebrows. Shen Sui was looked down upon by him. Now he had to marry the princess of Nanhuai King and become her father. However, he had the audacity to say that he wanted Chang Ru to be his concubine. It was obvious that he still cared about this marriage.
If he married Chang Ru, Shen Sui would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.
"What do you want?" Cui Jing asked.
"Can we work together?" Chang Ru asked him. "How about getting married?"
Cui Jing's expression was subtle. He looked at her seriously and said, "You are quite courageous to say such things, but you should also know that many things should not be done on impulse. If you want to take revenge on Chen Sui, there are many ways. You shouldn't risk your life on him."
Chang Ru smiled: "Mr. Cui has misjudged me. What the Chang family wants from me is a good marriage and a good husband. Making someone so angry that he vomits blood is just a side job."
She stood there quietly, wearing a lilac dress and a purple cloak, her hair combed neatly, her oval face fair and soft, her eyes gentle, quiet and tough.
She is indeed a girl with an excellent family background, appearance and temperament. Whoever marries her will be very proud of her family.
Cui Jing felt that if Chen Sui missed her, it would be a lifelong regret.
I don’t know how Chen Sui had the nerve to ask a girl like this to be his concubine.
"Madam Chang, I'm not a good person." Cui Jing narrowed his eyes and smiled. He always took revenge. Shen Sui cheated his Cui family, so he showed no mercy.
If Shen Sui was not the general of Northern Yan, and if his death would cause a big disaster, he might have wanted to kill him.
Chang Ru said, "It's better than some people who act like they are righteous and ask others to sacrifice. Besides, I admire Mr. Cui for protecting Wang Ji."
She was brave and resourceful, protecting her family and taking revenge on her enemies in her own way. If it wasn't her fiancé who was in trouble, Chang Ru would have applauded.
Cui Jing laughed. These words were directed at Shen Sui, which showed how dissatisfied he was with Shen Sui.
"I'll talk to Madam Chang another day. I'll take my leave now." After saying this, Cui Jing lowered the curtain and ordered the coachman to turn around and go back.
Chang Ru stood there, watching the carriage turn around and leave.
The maid beside her bit her lip and said anxiously, "He didn't say no, nor did he say yes. What does it mean to talk about it another day?"
Chang Ru said, "That should mean he wants to consider it."
"Consider it?" The maid was a little dissatisfied. "My lady has already put down her dignity and asked for it herself, and he still wants to consider it?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Chang Ru frowned and scolded, "Marriage is a matter of a lifetime. How can you agree to it casually? Don't say these words anymore."
"It's the Chang family, not me, who's seeking this marriage now."
She was willing to brave the snow and travel south just to see him.
He can't just agree just because she's here.
