Chapter 9 She said to cut the grass at its roots, don't we know how to kill the mother and save the child?
As soon as Cui Si finished speaking, Cui Yao beside her felt like his scalp was about to explode.
She turned her head in surprise and looked at Cui Si, only to see Cui Si staring at the competition stage with a smile on her face.
It was as clear as the bright moon in the clouds, and the breeze was free and easy, as if she didn't realize how scary the words she said were.
"Are you crazy?!" Cui Yao widened his eyes and his voice almost broke.
Cui Si simply glanced at her indifferently, waving her silk fan with a carefree expression: "It's just a small revenge, what are you afraid of?"
Even if Mrs. Cui, the head of the Cui family, or even the elders of the Cui clan wanted to hold her accountable, she could still say that Cui Yun wanted her to be a concubine to humiliate her, and she was only angry for a while.
What's the big deal? Did they dare to break her legs?!
Cui Yao was stunned, as if a storm was brewing in her heart. She only dared to argue with Madam Cui verbally, but she didn't expect that Cui Si would actually dare to take action directly, and the first move was to break the legs of Madam Cui's son.
Just when Cui Yao was stunned, Cui Yi on the competition stage had already taken action.
Maybe the mother's brain was not able to distinguish them properly when she gave birth.
The elder brother was praised for his wisdom, almost to the point of being a demon. The handsome young man Cui Sanlang was the leader of the younger generation of students in the Cui family, and Cui Si was also smart and intelligent, and could draw inferences from one instance.
Cui Yi, on the other hand, is not very smart. He only grows in height but not in brains. However, he is self-aware and usually listens to his brother and sister.
Cui Si asked him to break Cui Xu's legs. Cui Yi didn't even think twice and didn't tolerate it anymore. He curled his fist into a tiger claw and attacked Cui Xu with a "tiger pounce" move.
Cui Xu was startled by Cui Si's shout and was suddenly knocked to the ground before he could react. The next moment, he let out a shrill scream.
——Cui Yi, really broke his leg.
"Erlang-sama!!"
"Erlang Jun!"
The eldest son of the head of the family was injured, and the scene immediately became chaotic.
Cui Yao's scalp was numb and she was completely frightened. She swallowed and was about to praise Cui Si for her courage, but she saw Cui Yi had already jumped down from the competition stage.
Then Cui Si grabbed his hand and ran away with him.
Run...run...
Yes, if you don’t run away, are you going to stay and wait to be beaten?
Cui Si pulled Cui Yi onto the carriage, and after Yanzhi and Songlu got in, she ordered the coachman to drive away. The carriage drove out of the east side of the city where Cui's family lived and headed towards the west side of the city.
When they reached an empty alley, she asked Cui Yi to get off the car.
"Go hide with Wu Tu for a few days. No one from me or my third brother will come to bring you back. No matter what happens, don't come back."
Cui Yi swallowed hard, and then he felt a little scared: "Then the master and his wife won't cause you any trouble, right?"
"What trouble are you looking for me for? I'm just a girl, do you think they can break my legs?" Cui Si glanced at him and warned him, "Also, don't run to Pingzhou City. If you dare go there, I will send a letter and ask my third brother to break your legs."
Cui Yi: "...You are just a young lady, why are you so fierce..."
Why do you always want to break other people's legs?
"What did you say?" Cui Si's voice rose slightly, as if asking him to reorganize his last words and say them again.
"No...no..." Cui Yi, who was so tall, didn't dare to say a word.
Cui Si asked Yanzhi to bring the purse and then handed it to him: "There are some gold, pearls and silver in it. Give half to Wu Tu as meal money, and keep the rest for yourself."
"If it's not enough, I'll have someone send you more."
Cui Yi did not like to study, but he was diligent in learning martial arts and made several friends. Wu Tu was originally a wandering knight, and later settled in Xianyang City, where he killed pigs and sold pork.
People called him the Pig-Slaughtering Wu Dalang. Cui Si felt that the name 'Wu Dalang' was really not suitable for him, so she called him Brother Wu. Cui Yi had learned a few moves from him, so he was considered half a master.
"Alright, hurry up and go. If you don't want to kneel in the ancestral hall, hide well and don't let anyone see you."
After Cui Si said this, she ordered the driver to turn around and go back, leaving Cui Yi standing there with a feeling of confusion and grievance.
He reached out and touched his head, and only then did he realize his situation.
Is he... unable to return home?
Right?!
.
After Mrs. Cui hurriedly left, she went to Cui Yun's yard.
Cui Yun was originally weak, and after this incident, she fainted when she was being helped halfway. When Madam Cui rushed to her yard, she woke up slowly and started crying when she saw Madam Cui.
"Mother, I must marry the King of Northern Yan. Mother, you must help me. This is... this is my only wish in this life. Mother... Mother..."
Mrs. Cui saw that Cui Yun's face was pale and bloodless, and her pretty eyes were full of stubbornness and unwillingness. She bit her lips tightly, as if she was about to bite them to bleed. She felt uncomfortable for a moment.
"You want to marry the King of Northern Yan, then do it." Madam Cui said helplessly, "You want to take a girl from the Cui family as a concubine, with you as one wife and one concubine. When you have a child, it will be registered in your name, which is not bad."
If this is the case, Cui Yun, the legitimate daughter of the head of the family, is the legal wife of the King of Northern Yan, and the concubine is also a daughter of the Cui family. The child born will be of Cui family blood and will be registered under the name of the legal wife. The Cui family can reluctantly agree to it.
Mrs. Cui was very tempted because she didn't have to take the risk of having children and could become a queen, which meant she would have a stable life.
My daughter is eighteen years old this year. Due to her health, her marriage has not been going well, which is also a regret in her heart.
"But you shouldn't have said such outrageous things and chosen Liu Niang as your concubine."
"Why not?" Cui Yun bit her lip tightly, her slightly red eyes bursting with hatred, "Why can't it be her?"
"My son, you are the head of the family's legitimate daughter, but she is also the second wife's legitimate daughter. You are of noble status, and she is not much worse than you. If you want to take a concubine, there are so many people in the Cui family, you can always find one or two who are willing. Why her?"
"You've seen Liu Niang today. She looks calm and composed on weekdays, but in reality, she's not easy to deal with. Even if you were her wife and she were her concubine, if she gave birth to a child, you two would definitely fight over her, and you might not be able to win."
"If she still holds a grudge against us for this, and one day she turns against us, what will we do then?"
Mrs. Cui felt a little panicked when she thought of what Cui Si said today, 'It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, but once he takes revenge, he must cut the grass and eradicate it completely.'
"Is mother afraid of her?" Cui Yun was stunned when she heard this, her face full of disbelief.
Her mother, the matriarch of the Cui clan and the wife of the clan leader, was actually afraid of Cui Si, an unmarried girl?
Madam Cui opened her mouth, her brows tensing and relaxing, then tensing again. After a long pause, she said, "Mother isn't afraid of her, but the hidden dangers of this matter are too great. If you fight her, you might not win. Why bother?"
"Mother, why should you think too much?" Cui Yun's eyes were cold, and the coldness seemed to seep out from the abyss bit by bit.
"She said to cut the grass at its roots. Don't we know how to kill the mother and save the child?"
