Chapter 58 Caught in the act
The two men came forward and saluted: "Greetings, old lady, and regards for your health."
The smile on Mrs. Xu's face faded slightly: "I am an old woman and I am doing well, but you two naughty monkeys, are you at peace and quiet?"
Wang Xiuzhu said hurriedly, "Don't worry, old lady, we have been very well behaved recently."
"That's good." Old Madam Xu smiled, then pushed the person to Cui Si, "Sixth Mother, take them to play in your yard."
"Yes, grandmother." Cui Si stood up and responded, then led the two of them to Qingwu Courtyard.
On the way, Wang Xiuzhu was silent. Qin Jiu, however, looked around and couldn't help asking her, "A'si, I heard your uncle is back? Where is he?"
Qin Jiu was also a friend of Cui Si. When she first fell in love, she fell in love with the handsome and unrestrained Cui Changyou.
It’s a pity that the flower has feelings but the water is heartless. Cui Changyou has no feelings for men and women in his heart. He only wants to find the way to become an immortal and live a free and happy life.
Cui Si smiled and said, "My uncle was taken to Xianyang Academy by my father."
This morning, Cui Changyou was taken to Xianyang Academy by Mr. Cui Er, who assigned him a task without any prior assignment. When he comes back, he should come to settle accounts with Cui Si, the "culprit".
"Will he stay in Xianyang City? Or will he follow the King of Northern Yan into battle?"
"He should have stayed in Xianyang City. Don't look at him because he's older. He's actually not as serious as the third brother, nor as obedient as the fifth brother. If he's let out, he'll be like a bird out of a cage, running around everywhere.
Now that his third and fifth brothers have followed the King of Northern Yan to Pingzhou City, he naturally has to stay behind to take care of the family and help manage the affairs of Xianyang Academy."
"Sister Xiuzhu should have come earlier so she could have met Third Brother. Now it's really... a pity."
"It's not a pity, it's not a pity." Wang Xiuzhu shook her head repeatedly. After that, she felt that she spoke too quickly and hurriedly explained.
"Your third brother is going to do great things and make a good career. How can he be so sentimental?"
The smile in Cui Si's eyes was slightly cold. Why didn't she notice in her previous life that Wang Xiuzhu was pretending to be one thing but doing another?
Cui Si then said, "Sister Xiuzhu, there's no need to be shy. Grandmother just said that my third brother is getting older and it's time for him to get married. The next time he comes back, he should discuss the wedding date with the Wang family. By then, Sister Xiuzhu will soon be my sister-in-law."
Wang Xiuzhu's hands trembled when she heard this, and the color drained from her face.
Cui Si was slightly surprised: "Sister Xiuzhu, what's wrong with you? Are you so happy that you've gone crazy?"
"No, no..." Wang Xiuzhu's lips trembled, and her expression was a little flustered. "I'm just a little scared when I think about getting married..."
Cui Si smiled: "Afraid? Why would Sister Xiuzhu be afraid? She should be extremely happy to marry the man she has wanted to marry since she was a child."
Wang Xiuzhu suddenly felt a little impatient to stay any longer. She said hurriedly, "I suddenly remembered that my grandfather asked me to go buy fresh tofu from the shop in the west of the city. Ah Si, I won't stay any longer. I'll take my leave now."
After Wang Xiuzhu said this, she turned around and left as if she was fleeing.
Qin Jiu felt very strange: "What's wrong with her?"
"Who knows? Maybe it's something really important." Cui Si narrowed her eyes slightly, seeming to smile but also cold. "Let's go and follow them and see."
"Follow him? Wouldn't that be bad?"
"What's wrong with that? I think she has something to hide, and it involves my third brother. I have to get to the bottom of it."
Cui Si immediately ordered someone to follow Wang Xiuzhu, and then asked someone to prepare a carriage without the Cui family emblem, and took Qin Jiu with her. After a while, the two stopped outside the gate of a courtyard.
Cui Si lifted the curtain and got off the carriage, and a guard came forward and saluted: "Sixth Lady."
"Is this the place?"
"It was right inside. Madam Wang San's carriage stopped and went inside."
"Let's go and take a look."
Cui Si said she wanted to go in and take a look, so a guard climbed over the wall into the yard, then opened the gate and welcomed the group inside.
At this time, Wang Xiuzhu's coachman, guards, and maid guarding the door had all been knocked unconscious.
"Cousin, the Cui family is coming to set a wedding date. What should we do?"
"Xiuzhu, don't be afraid. Wait a little longer. When I become successful, I can tell my aunt everything and ask her to help us..."
"Cousin, you are so kind."
"Cousin, your heart is like mine. I wish to see you day and night..."
"Cousin...Xiuzhu is also..."
The sounds inside were becoming more and more disgusting. Qin Jiu was already standing there in a daze, his face full of disbelief.
Cui Si signaled the guard with her eyes to kick the door, and the guard handed the sword to another person, raised his foot and kicked the door open.
At this moment, the man and woman in the room were hugging each other and kissing passionately. The man's hand had already reached into the woman's clothes, and the clothes on her chest were half-undone, revealing a crimson dress and snow-white skin.
Hearing the sound of kicking the door, the two took a while to react and separated. Wang Xiuzhu let out a sharp scream, then hurriedly gathered her clothes.
The man was also startled. He wiped the lipstick on his lips with his sleeve, turned his head suddenly, and saw that the leaders were Cui Si and Qin Jiu. His face changed immediately.
"Mrs. Cui...Mrs. Cui Liu..."
"Your Excellency." Cui Si frowned and waved the silk fan in her hand twice. "You are so brave! Do you think we, the Cui family, are easy to bully?"
Cui Jing is the leader of the younger generation of the Cui family, and the King of Northern Yan seems to value him particularly. His current status in the family is not to say that he can compete with the head of the Cui family, but he is also the number one person under the head of the Cui family.
This person dared to cheat on Cui Jing, which was simply trampling on the face of the Cui family.
When Wang Xiuzhu heard Cui Si's voice, her face turned pale again: "Ah... Ah Si... why, why are you here?"
"If I hadn't come, how would I have known that Sister Xiuzhu had a lover behind my brother's back?" Cui Si chuckled sarcastically, "Look at these cousins. They were so affectionate the moment they met. I guess they've been together for quite some time."
"Come here, arrest this pair of bastards and bring them to the Wang family. I want to personally ask the Wang family what they really mean!"
"No!" Wang Xiuzhu was so frightened when she heard this that the blood drained from her face. Tears welled up in her eyes and she rushed forward to grab Cui Si's hand.
"A'si, please don't do this... If the Wang family knew, they would beat me to death... And my cousin, I'm afraid he won't survive either!"
"A'si, please, just pretend you didn't see anything and let us go."
"I didn't mean to offend your third brother. I just couldn't help myself. My cousin and I are sincere..."
