Chapter 97: No fate in the past, but fate in the present and future
"No! You can't! You can't do this!"
Wang Xiuzhu was so frightened that she screamed and could no longer maintain her soft and beautiful appearance.
"Cui Jingzhi, you...how could you!"
"I always thought you were a kind person, but I never thought you could be so cruel and merciless, taking human lives lightly!"
"Why not?" Cui Jing said in a slightly cold tone, looking at Wang Xiuzhu with a cold look.
"If you are unwilling to marry me, and you have someone you love, just tell me directly. I, Cui Jingzhi, don't have to be with you."
If Wang Xiuzhu told him directly that she had a man she liked and wanted to cancel her engagement, he would naturally be willing to agree to her decision since she was not the only one who could have him.
But she chose to hide it, and the two of them had an affair and were having an affair, which was simply throwing his face on the ground.
Doesn’t Cui Jing have any face?
"But my family will never agree to let me break off the engagement with you and marry my cousin. I..." Wang Xiuzhu's tears fell.
"What happens after the engagement is broken off? That's the path you have to take, and you have to bear the consequences." Cui Jing said in a cold tone.
"You are a woman, and I am also very busy. I can spend very little time with you, so I will not bother with you. Whether the Wang family lets you remarry or become a nun, it has nothing to do with me."
"But you, my lover, knowing that you are my fiancée, still dare to be so presumptuous. You simply don't take me, Cui Jing, seriously. I will not forgive him."
At this moment, someone from the Wang family came looking for Wang Xiuzhu. Cui Jing patted his sleeves and said quickly, "Take your girl back."
Finally, he instructed his attendant Wen Qiu: "You stay and ask the Wang family for someone."
After arranging these things, Cui Jing turned around and walked out without caring about Wang Xiuzhu's pale face and staggering.
After leaving Wang's house and getting on the carriage, he cursed "bad luck" inwardly, and then ordered someone to drive back to Cui's house.
It was already past noon when he returned home. He looked left and right but couldn't find Chen Mo. He asked someone and found out that he hadn't come back yet.
"Hasn't come back yet?" Cui Jingxin asked. Could it be that Jiang Cinian didn't agree to go to Chongshan Pass to rescue people?
"I'll go take a look."
The servant said, "Sixth Lady and Ah Hao Lady passed by not long ago."
Hearing that Cui Si had also gone there, Cui Jing felt relieved and gave up the idea of going there again. He turned around and walked towards Qingsongyuan of Old Lady Xu.
However, as soon as he reached the garden, he met the guards sent back by Cui Si.
"Where is your master?"
"In reply to Mr. San, Miss Liu asked her subordinates to come back and tell Mr. Ping to arrange for a few free people in the mansion to go to the Jiang family to help collect the medicinal materials."
"Why are you collecting herbs?"
"Mr. Sanlang, you may not know this, but Mr. Jiang said earlier that he had never met the King of Northern Yan and didn't know what he was like. That's why he wanted to pack up some medicinal herbs to take with him so he wouldn't have to look for them when he needed them."
"As soon as General Shen saw the medicinal herbs that Mr. Jiang had, he immediately said that he would buy them all and take them to Chongshan Pass. Look, General Shen and several soldiers accompanying him are busy collecting the herbs at Jiang's house."
"After Lady Liu and Lady Ah Hao went over, they found that everyone was busy, so they asked General Shen and several soldiers to go down and rest, and ordered me to go back to the Cui family to find some free people to help."
"That's right. Let Cui Ping go there in person and bring a few smart and handy people to help."
After receiving the order, Cui Ping immediately took a dozen people with him.
When the sun sets, they pack up all the medicinal herbs that can be taken away and transport them directly to the Cui family.
Jiang Cinian also followed along, waiting to set off for Chongshan Pass together tomorrow.
At dusk, everyone had a meal together at Old Lady Xu's Qingsong Courtyard. The banquet was to entertain Chen Mo, the future son-in-law of the Cui family who had come from afar, and also to see them off.
The Cui family gathered together to discuss the details of Cui Wuye's ghost marriage.
Cui Si had previously written two copies of the points that needed attention, one for Cui Erye and Cui Changyou, and one for Cui Ping.
Finally, he also advised Cui Changyou to be more honest and not to make Old Lady Xu angry.
Uncle Cui Changyou was very unhappy because his nephews and nieces had arranged everything for him, but he had no way to refute it, so he could only drink in depression.
When it was getting dark and the banquet was over, everyone went back to rest. Cui Si took a pot of peach blossom wine and went to see Jiang Cinian in the guesthouse where he was temporarily staying.
The two were drinking under a persimmon tree in the yard.
The bright moonlight shines on the world.
In the wine glass, half is wine and half is the moonlit nectar from heaven.
Cui Si asked him, "Do you have anything to ask me?"
Jiang Cinian paused, holding the wine glass, and then said, "Sixth Lady, are you asking why you wanted to go to Chongshan Pass?"
"Yes." It was as if Old Mrs. Xu was wondering why she had to go to Chongshan Pass. It seemed that there was no use for her going there.
When thinking about her involvement with Yan Xingchuan, one would think that she traveled thousands of miles to see him because she was worried about him.
Cui Si held the teacup in her hand, looked up at the half-moon in the sky, and said slowly, "If I say I went there to curse someone, would you believe me?"
"He never takes his life seriously, and ordinary people can't control him.
Although I have grievances with him and do not really want to see him, he has always been considerate of the people of the world and his soldiers, so he is not evil."
But he was not worthy of the people of the world, worthy of his deceased relatives, worthy of the Lin family, worthy of Lin Qingning, but he was not worthy of his wife and children.
But as his former wife, she could not forgive him.
"And we can't let him continue like this. The world still needs him."
Jiang Cinian thought for a long time and asked her, "Sixth Lady, are you familiar with him?"
"That's all in the past." Cui Siqing exhaled some foul air and asked him, "Do you mind these? If you mind..."
"If you mind, then the marriage doesn't have to go ahead." Jiang Cinian took over her words, "Is this what you want to say, Sixth Lady?"
Cui Si was silent for a while, then poured herself a cup of peach blossom wine and drank it: "To be honest, it's me who has let you down."
She originally thought that she and Yan Xingchuan would never meet in this life. He would conquer his own world, and she would marry her ideal husband.
But she never expected that Yan Xingchuan was also reborn and kept pestering her, which led to what happened today.
She felt that she should give Jiang Cinian an explanation, but he was always vague, which made both of them uncomfortable.
"What's wrong with that?" Jiang Chenian smiled.
"Since it's the past, it's all in the past. If you really want to blame someone, you can only say that we were not destined to be together."
“If there is no fate in the past, it will be good if there is fate in the present and the future.
This is something that countless people in the world cannot even hope to obtain.”
For example, the King of Northern Yan.
Jiang Cinian has always been an open-minded person. He is gentle, tolerant and considerate. Everything he says makes people feel at ease.
It seems as if one can let go of the guilt and worry in his heart all at once, and his mind suddenly becomes much clearer.
At the end, he even smiled and said, "Besides, for a man like me who has no power and no influence, it is already a blessing for me that Sixth Lady is interested in me..."
