Chapter 60 Is it the bait’s fault or the fish’s fault?
"That's impossible!"
Cui Erye didn't believe it and was a little angry. "Even if you don't like the Wang family, you can't talk nonsense like that."
"Who is the Wang family? How could they do such a thing? Come back with me!"
In Mr. Cui's eyes, the old man of the Wang family is a talented and virtuous elder who is highly respected. He firmly believes in the family tradition of the Wang family and believes that the daughter of the Wang family would not do such a thing.
Cui Si sat there motionless, only raising her eyelids to look at him indifferently, tapping the edge of the table with the silk fan in her hand:
"Could it be that in my father's eyes, I am such an untrustworthy person that he refuses to believe a single word I've witnessed with my own eyes?"
Mr. Cui's face froze and he looked a little embarrassed.
Speaking of which, if you tell others that a father is being manipulated by his children, no one will believe it.
Cui Si continued, "Father firmly believes in Mr. Wang's character, and I have no objection. However, this concerns my third brother's marriage, so I hope father will not be biased, lest he harm his third brother."
Cui Changyou also advised: "Yes, second brother, this is about Jingzhi's marriage, you can't blindly trust anyone.
Even if you have to believe blindly, you have to believe in Ah Si. Ah Si and Jing Zhi are such good friends, she will definitely not harm Jing Zhi."
"Second brother, you don't want Jingzhi to bear a grudge against you anymore, right?"
Master Cui: “…”
Cui Si raised an eyebrow at Cui Changyou, praising him for being "sensible", but was unexpectedly glared back at, and given a warning of "I'll settle the score with you when I get home".
Mr. Cui took a deep breath and finally sat down on the chair opposite Cui Si.
"Okay, okay, then I'll see if the Wang family girl is really as you said and has done such a wrong thing."
"However, I still believe in the Wang family."
"Then I hope my father will get what he wants."
After a few words, the father and daughter had nothing more to say.
Mr. Cui felt a pang of depression in his heart. He slapped his thigh, which was trembling from the rush, and felt very aggrieved.
After a while, servants from the Wang family came to invite them, saying that Old Master Wang wanted to see them.
Cui Erye frowned when he heard this. He asked the visitor, "Why did you alarm the old man?"
The servant shook his head: "I don't know about that. Dean Cui, please follow me."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Cui Er had no choice but to follow, and Cui Si and Cui Changyou also followed behind him.
Cui Changyou asked Cui Si, "Is this true?"
Cui Si said calmly and indifferently, "Didn't you say it yourself? My third brother and I are such good friends. How could I possibly harm him?"
If Wang Xiuzhu didn't have any major problems and she wasn't a vicious person, why would she come to break up the marriage?
Cui Changyou's expression turned cold. "The Wang family is so bold! Do they think our Cui family is easy to talk to?"
Cui Si said: "I don't know whether the Wang family is brave or not, I only know that they are lovers who truly love each other, with all their heart..."
It's ridiculous to have such sincerity, a sincerity that doesn't care about other people's life or death.
The group walked through the Wang family courtyard and garden and soon arrived at a courtyard called "Shanxiju".
An attendant with a somewhat gray beard personally welcomed the person in.
When they stepped into the courtyard, they saw an old man sitting by the fish pond, wearing a fisherman's hat and holding a fishing rod to fish.
The spring breeze blows, the flowers bloom, and in the fish pond, colorful koi fish compete to take the bait, causing the water surface to be turbulent and rippled.
"The bait is delicious, and fishes are fighting for it." The old man in a green robe with a half-white beard sighed with a smile, then looked at the person coming over.
"What do you think caused all this trouble? Is it the bait's fault or the fish's?"
The three men were not stupid and vaguely understood the metaphor of Mr. Wang.
Wang Xiuzhu is used as bait, and the bait tastes delicious.
She is a good person, which makes men fight for her. In the end, is it Wang Xiuzhu's fault or the fault of the men who fight for her?
If you were called Mr. Cui, he would definitely answer, "It's the nature of fish to eat bait."
However, there was someone on the sidelines who was not following the usual path.
Cui Changyou asked him, "Flies love feces because they stink, and their buzzing is annoying. Is it the feces' fault or the flies' fault?"
Everyone present: “…”
Cui Si covered her nose with a silk fan and stepped back three steps from him.
No thanks, she doesn't recognize this person!
Old Master Wang's face turned green and his mouth twitched. He took a step back and accidentally stepped on a slippery stone. Then he slipped and slid into the fish pond.
!!!
Oh my god!
"Old man!" The servant nearby exclaimed and quickly jumped down to save him.
Fortunately, the fish pond was not deep, and Mr. Wang was helped up after he fell in. Apart from choking on water twice, he was fine.
Cui Erye turned around and glared at Cui Changyou: "You...you..."
Cui Changyou looked innocent: "He even described his granddaughter as bait and Jingzhi as the fish fighting for the bait. I can't say that she is..."
"Shut up!" The veins on Mr. Cui's forehead throbbed. "Don't say that word."
Cui Changyou said "Oh" to indicate that he was shutting up.
Mr. Cui was so angry that his heart ached. Seeing Mr. Wang being helped out of the fish pond, he hurried forward and asked, "Mr. Wang, how are you?"
Old Master Wang was shocked and frightened by this disaster. When he saw Master Cui, he was so angry that he almost exploded: "Get out! Get out! Get out!"
Mr. Cui said, "Mr. Wang, I'm sorry. It was all Old Eight's nonsense. When I get back, I will definitely teach him a lesson. Old Eight, why don't you apologize to Mr. Wang now?"
Cui Changyou refused with a look of rejection: "I am not wrong. He said it was highbrow, and I said it was lowbrow. It's a little more vulgar, but the principle is the same."
"you......"
Cui Si tugged at Cui Changyou's sleeve, and Cui Changyou immediately changed his tone: "Okay, okay, I was wrong, Mr. Wang, I'm so sorry, it's my fault."
"Vulgar, vulgar!"
"Okay, okay, you old lady."
The attendant quickly helped Mr. Wang to wash and change his clothes, while the three members of the Cui family were led to the Ming Hall to wait.
The more Mr. Cui thought about it, the angrier he became, and he glared at Cui Changyou several times.
Cui Changyou stood still, holding the teacup, using the tea lid to push away the tea foam, and drinking tea slowly.
After Cui Changyou finished drinking another cup of tea, Mr. Wang came out wearing a new cross-collared blue shirt.
He sat in the main seat and said to Mr. Cui, "Changfeng, I won't argue with you about anything else. My Xiuzhu is indeed at fault in this matter.
But she was also deceived by that Zhu family kid. I wonder if you can, for the sake of an old man like me, just pretend that nothing happened?"
"As if nothing happened?" Mr. Cui was stunned and couldn't figure it out for a moment.
"Exactly." Old Master Wang sighed deeply. "If her engagement is broken off, not only will her reputation be ruined, but I'm afraid it will affect the marriage prospects of her younger brothers and sisters."
“If this scandal were to become known to others, the reputation that my Wang family has built up over the years would be ruined.
Considering that I taught you when you were a child, let’s just pretend that this never happened…”
