Chapter 8 Fifth Brother, break his legs!
Cui Si was not joking when she said this.
If Madam Cui and Cui Yun really dared to plot against her and forced her to become a concubine, if she turned the tables one day, that would be the time to settle the score.
At that time, she will definitely kill all those who forced and threatened her.
Mrs. Cui's expression froze. She met Cui Si's half-smiling eyes, and somehow, she felt a surge of panic in her heart.
It seems like... she really did such a thing. If Cui Si turns over in the future, she will definitely not have a good ending.
The atmosphere on the scene was somewhat tense.
Cui Si picked up the silk fan again and waved it slowly.
A breeze blew by, and a strand of her hair fluttered in the wind. She just sat there, quiet and comfortable, neither hurried nor slow.
Mrs. Cui stood beside Cui Yun, staring at Cui Si closely.
Cui Yun wanted to say something but was glared at by Cui Yao. The others sat quietly beside her, not daring to breathe.
At this time, Cui Yao finally stood on Cui Si's side.
If Cui Si was forced to become a concubine by the eldest son's wife, who knows if she would be the next one? So at this time, the two of them would join forces to fight against the eldest son's wife without even needing to make eye contact.
The purpose of having second and third rooms in the direct line of the family is to restrain the eldest room.
After an unknown amount of time, Cui Si noticed that Madam Cui had remained silent for a long time, so she asked again:
"Madam, tell me, was Fourth Sister wrong today? The Cui family, or even you, Madam, would never allow Sixth Lady to be a concubine?"
"That's not true. Not to mention Sixth Lady, even Fifth Sister, or even the rest of the sisters in the clan, it's impossible for them to be concubines.
I am a noble lady of the Cui family, a prominent family in Pingzhou. All the girls in our family are precious. How can I be a concubine?"
With these words, Cui Si immediately put the eldest son of the family in opposition to the rest of the Cui family.
Among the Cui family members, although the eldest branch is the most noble, the others are close relatives of the clan, not servants.
If Mrs. Cui dared to let a girl from the clan be a stepping stone for her daughter, all the clan members would make a fuss.
By then, even the head of the Cui family and Madam Cui would probably not be able to control it.
Mrs. Cui was roasted over the fire again, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
Look at the mysterious looks the girls present gave her. If she dared to say that Cui Yun was not wrong without giving a definite answer, I'm afraid that when these people returned, the Cui family would make a fuss.
Madam Cui glanced at Cui Si, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and then she took a breath and said:
"Sixth Lady is right. It was Ah-jun who was wrong today. You are the legitimate daughter of the second wife. Who in the Cui family would dare to take you as a concubine?"
"Mother!" Cui Yun didn't expect that Mrs. Cui would not help her, and she was so anxious that she stomped her feet.
"Alright." Madam Cui scolded irritably, "You're not feeling well, so don't dwell on this. Come, take the fourth lady away."
At Mrs. Cui's command, even though Cui Yun was unwilling, she was eventually half-supported and half-carried away by the old women and maids.
"Mother—Mother—you must promise me that I will marry the King of Northern Yan. If I cannot, I will die in front of you—"
"Mother, let Cui Si be my concubine - Mother -"
Cui Yun's cries became farther and farther away, and the pavilion became quiet until the sound completely disappeared.
"Today's Spring Festival Banquet is over, you can do as you please."
After saying this, Mrs. Cui turned away and left. After a while, she led her maids out of the garden.
As soon as Mrs. Cui left, people started discussing in groups of three or four.
Cui Si did not discuss with the others. She stood up and left the main house with Yanzhi Songlu.
But just as she arrived at the door of the main house, she heard someone calling her from behind. She stopped and looked back, only to see that it was Cui Yao who had caught up with her.
"Cui Si, are you leaving just like that?"
"What else can I do if I don't leave?" Cui Si asked her.
Cui Yao choked and asked her, "What do you think about this? I see that Fourth Sister seems to have set her sights on you and refuses to give up. Madam has always loved her, and I don't know what she will do."
"Whatever she wants to do, just let her do it."
Cui Si was not actually afraid, she just felt it was a bit troublesome. She would definitely not be a concubine. If it really came to that, before getting married, she would have plenty of ways to kill Cui Yun and then marry him as the principal wife.
I just hope Mrs. Cui doesn’t go crazy by then.
"I'm leaving." Cui Si said a few words and was about to leave.
"where are you going?"
"Go to the martial arts arena."
Not far from the main residence of the Cui family, there are two houses on the left and right. On the right is the Cui family school, and on the right is the martial arts field where the children of the family learn martial arts.
"What are you going to the martial arts arena for?"
"Go see Brother Five."
Cui Si's mother gave birth to two sons and one daughter. Cui Si had two brothers from the same mother, Cui Jing, the third in the clan, and Cui Yi, the fifth.
Cui Sanlang Cui Jing is a man of outstanding talent, profound knowledge, noble and elegant, and is the most outstanding young man in the Cui family.
Cui Wulang Cui Yi, on the other hand, is at the other extreme. He has no interest in poetry and literature, but is very good at martial arts.
This time, the people who went to the south bank of Jiangshui River to welcome the arrival of the Northern Yan army were the head of the eldest branch, Cui, and the second branch, Cui Jing.
Cui Yi originally wanted to go, but was collectively opposed by his father, brother and sister. He was depressed and ran to the martial arts field every day.
Cui Si thought that he had come to the main house, so she went to coax him.
"Then I'll go take a look too. Let's go."
Cui Si did not refuse. She nodded and got on the carriage with her to the martial arts field.
About a cup of tea later, the carriage stopped at the gate of the martial arts field. As soon as the few people got off the carriage, they heard cheers.
Although the Cui family is a family of scholars, in today's chaotic times, they have also hired many guest officials, staff members, and family guards. The Cui family rarely uses the martial arts training ground, but these people like it very much.
When the group entered, they happened to see two people fighting on the competition stage. Both of them were young men around twenty years old.
One of them was wearing a tight-sleeved green suit and a headband. He was tall and strong, and his fists were dancing with great power. The other one was wearing a royal blue robe and holding a folding fan in his hand. He was panting and dodging repeatedly, and was about to be defeated.
But for some reason, he kept gritting his teeth and persisting, refusing to admit defeat.
Cui Si looked at the two people on the competition stage, narrowed her eyes, and thought to herself, what a coincidence.
The tall and strong man was her brother Cui Wulang Cui Yi, while the other one who kept dodging was Cui Xu, Cui Erlang, the legitimate son of Mrs. Cui and Cui Yun's legitimate brother.
Cui Si raised her eyebrows and smiled, then suddenly called out, "Fifth Brother."
Cui Yi turned his head and saw his sister coming. He wiped the sweat off his face and grinned. He looked honest and naive, and seemed easy to fool.
Cui Si shouted again: "Fifth brother, break his legs!"
