Chapter 158 She is not marrying into the clan, she is the clan
Old Lady Shen asked her again, "Whose trick have you been under?"
"I don't know. Maybe there's something wrong with the water I used to drink tea with Liu Niang." Mrs. Cui's tone was a little stiff. She asked, "How is Liu Niang?"
Old Madam Xu shook her head. "Sixth Lady, nothing's wrong. Perhaps you remembered it wrongly. It wasn't about the tea."
Mrs. Cui was stunned for a moment, then said, "Yes, maybe it's not the tea. It could be an enemy of my Cui family, hiding in the dark and wanting to harm us. I just sent someone out, and Silang came looking for me, so they took advantage of the opportunity."
This is already the best outcome at the moment. She and Xie Lu were harmed by someone who took advantage of a loophole. It was not their intention. In this way, the punishment can be lighter and perhaps they can save their lives.
If she dared to accuse Cui Si, the second house would definitely deny it and would investigate thoroughly. When her plot was discovered, she would be dead, and even Cui Yun and Cui Xu would suffer.
What Mrs. Cui was thinking at the moment was that she hoped Xie Luo would keep his mouth shut and never say anything that he shouldn't.
"Can I meet Liu Niang?"
"Sixth Lady was a little frightened, so I let her rest." Old Madam Xu raised her eyelids. "If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
Old Lady Xu didn't want Cui Si to meet Madam Cui again, so as to avoid causing any more trouble.
Since Cui Si fought back herself, as long as Mrs. Cui swallowed the bitter pill and didn't involve Cui Si, Mrs. Xu didn't intend to pursue the matter.
If the matter is investigated further, it will be bad for Cui Si's reputation and it will be a huge blow to the Cui family. It will be bad if people's hearts are scattered and in chaos.
"Well..." Madam Cui said calmly, "I just thought about what happened in the past and felt a little sorry for her. I asked her to be magnanimous and not to make a fuss about it with her second brother and fourth sister."
Old Mrs. Xu was surprised for a moment. She didn't expect that Mrs. Cui, who had been stuck in a dead end and had long forgotten who she was, could figure it out so quickly.
But if you think about it carefully, you will understand.
Mrs. Cui encountered such a thing. Whether it was her own intention or she was murdered, it was a disaster for her. She had no way out. After realizing this, she naturally sacrificed herself decisively to save her child.
Mrs. Xu nodded: "Don't worry, the past will not be mentioned again."
We won’t bring up the past again, but if Cui Xu and Cui Yun do evil again in the future, don’t blame them.
Madam Cui nodded and said, "I want to see A'an."
"Okay, as you say."
Old Lady Xu agreed to Madam Cui's condition to take Cui Yun away, and only hoped that she could persuade Cui Yun more, so that Cui Yun would not become lawless and harm others and herself in the future.
Old Lady Xu asked Aunt Deng to stay and keep an eye on Mrs. Cui and her daughter, then she stood up and left. Old Lady Shen also stood up and followed her.
After leaving the courtyard and the autumn breeze blew in, Old Lady Shen narrowed her eyes and asked pointedly, "Are you telling me that it's really as Madam said, that she and Xie Silang were murdered by someone hiding in the dark and taking advantage of the situation?"
"If she said yes, then of course it is." Old Mrs. Xu said in a light tone.
"You old rascal." Old Madam Shen laughed angrily, "Do you think I'm a fool?"
"If you are a fool, then you are a rich fool who stinks of copper. Now I should cheat you out of your money. Answer one of your questions and give me one thousand taels of silver."
Old Mrs. Shen: “?!”
Robbing money!
"You're robbing me of my money, aren't you disgusted by my stinking money? Why, my money doesn't stink anymore?"
"If it's yours, it will stink. Mine will naturally not stink." Old Mrs. Xu has a very flexible upper and lower limit when it comes to money.
What belongs to Old Lady Shen stinks, and what belongs to me smells good.
"What do you need so much money for?"
"What for? I have two grandsons who are getting married, and two granddaughters who are getting married. You don't want money, do you?"
Although Old Lady Xu had some estrangement towards Cui Haoxin, she kept her word and would not give Cui Hao less of her share. Although what she got was not as much as what Old Lady Cui Si, the treasure of her life, it was not worse either.
"Are you really going to marry Liu Niang to that doctor named Jiang? Aren't you afraid that she will suffer in the future?"
"Why should she suffer? She's already a princess. It doesn't matter who she marries. As long as she's happy, that's all. She's not marrying into a clan; she's the clan herself. Have you ever seen a princess whose descendants were commoners?"
Old Mrs. Shen: “…”
I was so angry that I was choked and couldn't speak.
She thought of her own granddaughter who still had no place to go, and then thought of the two from the second house, one was a princess, and the other was promised to General Shen, the youngest and most promising general in Beiyan, and she suddenly felt very sad.
"Do you think my Fifth Lady still has a chance to marry the Lord?"
"That's hard to say, but I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible." Old Mrs. Xu rarely said something from the heart.
She originally didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the third house, but when she thought of what Mrs. Cui had done, and remembered that they were from the same family, and finally, for the sake of money, it might not be a bad idea to say a few more words.
"It's better to give up. Don't waste your precious years waiting and waiting for nothing. Besides, the King of Northern Yan is such a great figure. There are very few people in the world who can compare to him. If you make her wait too long, she will worry about it too much and will be resentful for the rest of her life. What can we do then?"
When Mrs. Shen heard this, she felt a little unhappy, but she also knew that there was some truth in it.
She was about to say something when she saw Old Madam Xu suddenly hold out her hand: "Four questions, four thousand taels."
Old Mrs. Shen: “?!”
Old Mrs. Shen took a deep breath, turned around and left: "I think you are crazy about money, so save some money for your coffin!"
Old Mrs. Xu glanced at Old Mrs. Shen's back, turned around and walked to the other side without saying a word.
This damn old lady, why does she ask so many questions? Is it time to eat?
Old Mrs. Xu left the main house and got on a carriage to go home. When she got home, she asked someone to call Cui Si over.
"She was smart for once and didn't dare to bring you into this. Since you've already avenged this on the spot, this matter will be over in the future. You are not allowed to cause trouble to Erlang and Si Niang because of this matter. I promised her."
"Okay." Cui Si agreed.
It would be best if Mrs. Cui stopped the matter at her place. If the investigation goes on, it would not only bring shame to the Cui family, but it would also cause resentment among the family members and make them lose unity in the future.
"What will be the outcome for Mrs. Cui?"
"It's up to her. Either she can die or we can find a place for her to live with the green lamp for the rest of her life." At this point, Mrs. Xu sighed.
"You did the right thing this time. You must be cautious, careful, and careful. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, even if you were harmed and we can find out the truth and punish the culprit, the incident has already happened, and your life will be ruined."
Old Mrs. Xu didn't care whether Cui Si's counterattack was too harsh or not. She only knew that the child was able to protect herself and to retaliate against the person who hurt her beautifully, which was a good thing.
Suffer in silence?
That doesn't exist!
"Our Ah Si is very smart. She will do the same thing when she encounters problems in the future."
