Chapter 10 This marriage should have been hers!
"Get rid of the mother and keep the son?" Mrs. Cui was stunned.
"That's right." Cui Yun's fingers tightly grasped a corner of the quilt. "If the mother is killed and the child is kept, she will die and the child will be mine. Why should I fight with her?"
"When that time comes, I will be the Queen of Northern Yan with a legitimate son. When the King of Northern Yan unifies the world, I will be the Queen and my son will be the Crown Prince."
Although Cui Yun really wanted to trample Cui Si under her feet, make her her concubine and maid, and kowtow to her.
It was just like she had kowtowed to Cui Si in her previous life.
Thinking of Cui Si's superiority in her previous life, the jealousy and resentment in Cui Yun's heart seemed to take root and grow into a big tree with bared fangs and claws.
Why why why!
This marriage should have been hers!
She is the most noble girl in the Cui family, and she is the one who should marry the King of Northern Yan!
She should be the queen, the empress, the queen mother!
Everything should be hers!
If God has mercy on her and lets her go back to the past, she will definitely take back everything that belongs to her.
Including the King of Northern Yan, the position of Queen, Empress Dowager and even the Queen Mother, and also... Yan Du!
However, as her mother said, there is indeed a possibility that she cannot defeat Cui Si. If that is the case, she can be more generous and send Cui Si to the west after she gives birth to Yan Du.
"Mother, I will be the queen and the queen mother in the future!"
Mrs. Cui felt her daughter was possessed, her brows furrowed. "But why did it have to be Liu Niang? Mother still feels that there are many girls of the right age in the Cui family. Even if they were to be your concubines or marry into the Yan family, there would be plenty willing. Why did it have to be Liu Niang?"
The idea of getting rid of the mother and keeping the son is indeed a nice one, but Cui Si is not easy to deal with, and the second branch of the house is not easy to deal with either. Not to mention that the matter will be difficult to resolve if it gets out, even how to get Cui Si to be Cui Yun's concubine is a difficult problem.
Since there is a better way to solve the problem, why do you have to make trouble for yourself?
"Why Cui Si?" Cui Yun bit her lip, then threw herself into Madam Cui's arms with red eyes. "Mother, I... I had a dream. I dreamed of everything that will happen in the future. Mother, you have to believe me!"
"In the dream, it was Cui Si... Cui Si married the King of Northern Yan. Later, when the King of Northern Yan unified the country and became emperor, she became... the Queen. After the King of Northern Yan died, she became the Queen Mother. She became the Queen Mother!"
"The Queen Mother, who rules from behind the curtain, is high above everyone else. The people bow their heads and shout, 'Long Live the Queen Mother!'"
When Cui Yun said this, she bit her lips tightly, and the jealousy, resentment and hatred in her eyes were about to overflow.
"She...she gave birth to Yan Du. Yan Du is a young genius, known as the peerless prince. The Yan family has a successor, and the country has a successor... Mother, I want Cui Si to be my concubine, and Yan Du to be my son. I want him to call me his legal mother and kowtow to me!"
"Mother...Mother...I want Cui Si."
"I know about the son born to Cui Si. As long as he is around, Great Yan will last long, and so will our Cui family. Mother..."
Mrs. Cui frowned and said, "My son, it was just a dream, or perhaps you dreamed about it at night."
"That was not a dream!" Cui Yun didn't believe it was a dream. She remembered everything that happened clearly. How could it be a dream!
She still remembered when they entered the palace to pay a visit to Cui Si, Cui Si was wearing a phoenix robe and looked down at them condescendingly.
She still remembered how high-spirited the two brothers from the second branch of the Cui family were, while they, the eldest branch, could only bow their heads and be humble.
Her brother, who had been mediocre for most of his life, wanted to ask for an official position, but Cui Si always evaded him by saying, "From now on, all officials will be selected through the imperial examination."
"Mother, if you don't want to think about me, think about my second brother. He will be neither good at literature nor martial arts in the future. It will be miserable. In the future, our eldest branch will be suppressed by the second branch. Although we are still the head of the family, we can't compare to the brothers of the second branch who have been made marquises and ministers."
"As long as Cui Si becomes my concubine, we can take her away and leave her son behind. From now on, everything will belong to us. The Cui family will be under the control of our parents, and my second brother will be made a marquis and a prime minister, leaving his name in history!"
"If the child is born from someone else's family, the future might not be safe, right?"
“…”
Mrs. Cui listened to Cui Yun's words. Although she doubted the authenticity of Cui Yun's dream, what Cui Yun said really made her heart surge.
The daughter married a good man, got a high position, became queen, empress or even queen mother, her grandson inherited the throne, her son was made a marquis and became a prime minister, and the whole family... if one person succeeds, the whole family will prosper.
In this way, we only need to deal with Cui Si, just Cui Si...
It doesn't seem that difficult to kill the mother and keep the child.
Mrs. Cui's heartbeat quickened. After a long pause, she said, "Please ask mother to think about it. This matter is not easy."
First of all, the problem was how to get Cui Si to be Cui Yun’s concubine.
At this moment, Cui Yun said again: "Mother, why bother worrying? Just use some tricks to ruin her reputation. When her reputation is ruined and she can't find a good marriage partner, she might be willing to be a concubine."
"Mother, I remember that my cousin from the Xie family is coming. Didn't he also like Cui Si before? Why not..."
"Oh no! Oh no! Madam, something's wrong!"
Before Cui Yun could finish her words, a maid ran in hurriedly from outside.
"Madam, something bad has happened!" Perhaps because she ran too fast, the maid ran up to her and said this, then gasped for breath.
Mrs. Cui was annoyed: "How can you be so flustered? I'm fine, stop saying such unlucky things!"
"Yes..." The maid swallowed her breath, opened her mouth with a sour taste in her mouth, and continued, "It's Erlangjun who's in trouble!"
Mrs. Cui frowned: "What happened to Erlang?"
"Erlang Jun had his leg broken on the competition stage in the martial arts arena."
"What?!" Mrs. Cui suddenly stood up. "What did you say? Erlang's leg was broken? Who did it?"
"It seems... it's Goro-kun."
"Fifth Young Master? Cui Yi?!" Mrs. Cui's face immediately turned dark.
"Madam, now is not the time to discuss this. The martial arts arena needs to send Erlang back. Please quickly arrange for a doctor!"
Mrs. Cui secretly hated Cui Yi, but her son was more important at the moment. She ordered someone to invite the doctor in the mansion to Cui Xu's yard, and then followed him there.
When Cui Xu was sent back and received bone-setting treatment from the doctor, Mrs. Cui heard the servants tell her what had happened. Her face became as gloomy as the dark clouds in the sky covering the city, so dark and scary.
"Cui Si! What a Cui Si!"
This was a warning to her and also a revenge for Cui Yun's humiliation of her.
"You simply don't take me seriously!" Mrs. Cui gritted her teeth. "Where are their brother and sister?"
"I heard he left the east city in a carriage, and his current whereabouts are unknown."
"Did you think you could be safe just by hiding? Go find them. I want to ask them if they still have any conscience. How dare they treat their dearest brothers and sisters so cruelly!"
