Chapter 61 Uncle, if you can speak, please say more
What does it mean to pretend it never happened?
Are you kidding me!
When Cui Si and Cui Changyou heard this, their faces immediately darkened.
Cui Si then asked him, "Excuse me, Mr. Wang, do you mean that this wedding should go on as usual?"
Old Master Wang looked at Cui Si and saw that she looked unhappy, so he advised her, "Sixth Lady, I know Xiuzhu was wrong in this matter, but she was also deceived. You have been her sister for many years, so you should feel sorry for her."
Feel sorry for her?
Do you feel sorry for her planting a green grassland for my brother?
Cui Si narrowed her eyes slightly, a hint of coldness in them. "I'm just asking what you mean. Does this mean the engagement remains the same? Does she still want to marry my third brother?"
Old Master Wang nodded. "That's right. Please keep this a secret. It's best not to let Cui Sanlang know about it. Otherwise, it will cause discord between husband and wife in the future, which would be a serious sin."
"Changfeng, you know that my health has been getting worse over the past two years. My only wish is to see Xiuzhu and your Sanlang get married. If this marriage doesn't happen, I'm afraid I won't be able to rest in peace!"
"For the sake of my old face, just pretend that nothing happened..."
So shameless!
Cui Changyou almost jumped up and cursed.
It seems like he deserved to fall into the fish pond just now!
Why don’t you throw this shameless old thing to death!
Cui Changyou couldn't help but say, "Old man, what you said is very wrong. What does your wish have to do with Sanlang? What does your death with your eyes open have to do with him? What's the matter? Does he owe you something?"
"We in the Cui family don't believe in the son paying for the father's debt. Since Cui Changfeng owes you, let him pay it back. After all, he has already married a young and beautiful lady, so he wouldn't mind marrying another one."
Exactly!
Let Cui marry her!
Cui Si nodded repeatedly and looked at Cui Changyou with admiration: Uncle, if you can speak, please say more.
"Nonsense!" Master Cui almost died of anger. What kind of brother is this? "What do you mean by 'I want to marry you'? Do I still have any shame?"
Cui Changyou said as if it was a matter of course: "If you have shame, how did this young and beautiful second sister-in-law of mine come to me? Is she here to show her shame?"
Master Cui: “…”
What an infuriating little bastard!
He finally understood why his old mother was always using a cane!
Cui Si said to Old Master Wang, "Old Master, you know in your heart that after something like this happened, no man would accept this woman. I know you don't want to break off the engagement for the sake of the Wang family's children."
Over the years, because the Wang family and the Cui family are related by marriage, the Wang family has lived a stable and peaceful life in Xianyang City.
Now that the Cui family has taken refuge with the King of Northern Yan, and Cui Jing is highly regarded by the King of Northern Yan, he will surely have a bright future. Therefore, the Wang family is unwilling to give up this marriage.
"But you should know that one day, Third Brother will learn of the Wang family's deception. Not only Wang Xiuzhu, but even the Wang family members will probably suffer a devastating disaster."
Do you think Cui Jing is a good person?
I'm not afraid of being burned to ashes after I die!
"In this world, truth cannot be hidden. Even if father agrees to this matter out of your kindness and helps to conceal it, my uncle and I will definitely write a letter to inform Third Brother."
"Therefore, unless you can spare my life and that of my uncle today, Third Brother will definitely know."
"Yes." Cui Changyou nodded repeatedly. "Mr. Wang, since it has already happened, the best option is to cancel the marriage and live in peace. Our Cui family will find another beautiful wife, and the Wang family can marry whoever they want. We have no right to interfere."
Cui Si continued, "If you disagree, then our Cui family will come and cancel the engagement, and if the matter is made public, the Wang family will lose all their dignity."
These words were said with both emotional appeal and logical thinking, and they were said to Old Master Wang. If it were anyone else in the Wang family, they would not have such a good attitude.
Old Master Wang looked at Master Cui, who didn't dare to say anything: "Just listen to them."
Mr. Wang thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible to cancel the engagement, but I have two suggestions."
"First, Cui Jingzhi doesn't have to marry Xiuzhu, but my Wang family has other girls. When the time comes, the Wang family can say that Xiuzhu is sick and let her sisters marry in her place. This way, both sides will be satisfied and both face and money will be saved."
"Secondly, Cui Jingzhi no longer wishes to marry our Wang family daughter. So, you should come and cancel the engagement, but please give me, an old man, some face and do not mention the matter of Xiuzhu. Simply say that Cui Jingzhi has found a better match and wants to cancel the engagement."
In short, the Wang family still has some face left, and the matter of Wang Xiuzhu must be covered up.
Cui Erye thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense, so he said, "Then..."
Before Mr. Cui could finish his words, Cui Si accidentally knocked over the teacup, attracting everyone's attention.
Cui Si calmly reached out and put the teacup away, then said, "How about leaving this matter to my third brother?"
In his previous life, because of Wang Xiuzhu's affairs, Cui Jing was upset for a long time and focused his energy on his future. It was not until he was thirty years old that he got married for the second time.
He and his wife may not have a particularly deep relationship, but they live in harmony.
However, his wife was more than ten years younger than him and was the daughter of a famous general under Yan Xingchuan. Because her father died in battle and her younger brother was still young, she married Cui Jing in order to preserve the family business.
Yan Xingchuan was also reborn in this life, so maybe that general would not die.
In this case, it is difficult to say whether Cui Jing will have a good marriage.
After Cui Si dealt with Wang Xiuzhu, she didn't want to interfere and let him make his own choice.
Mr. Wang nodded: "Alright, let Cui Sanlang make the decision."
Cui Si then added, "But I don't agree with the second point the old man made. If the Wang family does something wrong, it will be bad for the Cui family to bear the reputation of breaking off the engagement."
"How about this? If Third Brother doesn't want to marry a girl from the Wang family, let Wang Xiuzhu pretend to be sick. Then we can just say she's unlucky. The two families can call off the engagement and marry each other. That way, even though the Wang family will lose face, they'll still have something in the bag."
"It's not possible that the Cui family will suffer all the losses, right? Don't you think so?"
Old Master Wang looked at Cui Si and exclaimed, "If Liu Niang hadn't promised him, I would have sent some of my useless sons to propose marriage."
If you marry such a capable and thoughtful wife, the family will surely prosper for three generations.
Cui Si laughed and said, "That's really unfortunate. Liu Niang is already engaged."
Old Master Wang said it was a pity, then nodded and agreed: "Then let's do as Liu Niang said."
.
So, ten days after leaving home, Cui Jing, who followed Yan Xingchuan to the battle of Yuanzhou, received a letter from home.
He opened it and his face darkened.
Yan Xingchuan, who was standing in front of the terrain sand table, saw this and frowned and asked him, "Jingzhi, what's wrong? Did something happen at home?"
