Chapter 313 As long as he wants, he is willing
What do you mean let him take a shower before coming back?
Song Lu suspected that he had heard something wrong, or that this man was still drunk.
After a moment of confusion, Song Lu asked her softly, "Madam, do you want to see the Lord?"
Finally, he tried to discuss it with her: "But it's too late now, and it's not appropriate. How about asking him to come over early tomorrow morning?"
Cui Si turned her head and looked back, only to see Song Lu standing behind a screen painted with a picture of a lady, dressed in green, her figure looming.
"Go and ask someone, and ask Yanzhi to come over. I'll talk to her. When she comes back, let her talk to you."
"Ah? Why?" Song Lu couldn't believe it.
"I'm tired and don't want to repeat it a second time." Cui Si scooped up a handful of water to wash her face and urged her, "Go quickly. I know what's going on."
Song Lu was helpless, but could only obey: "Then my lady, please get up quickly, the water is getting cold."
"Well, go ahead."
Song Lu bowed and took his leave, closing the door as he left. Cui Si stood up and quickly wiped the water off her body with a towel, then changed into her pajamas. As soon as she came out of the bathroom and returned to the dormitory, Yanzhi pushed the door open and came in.
She brought in a bowl of soothing soup and placed it on the small table beside her: "Madam, drink some before going to sleep, or you won't wake up with a headache tomorrow."
Cui Si walked to the dressing table and sat down, looking at herself in the bronze mirror. She was still young at this time, with fair and delicate skin. Her appearance could not be called stunning, but it was also one of the rare beauties in the world.
She reached out and touched her face, as if she could see what she would look like when she was old, with her hair covered in gray.
"The most unforgettable thing in this world is the beauty left by the mirror and the flowers left by the trees."
"Some things in this world require timing. You have to know when to do something. If you miss it, you'll miss it forever. Isn't that right?"
Yanzhi didn't know why she suddenly felt this way, but she also felt it made sense: "My lady is right."
"I want to have a baby." Cui Si said suddenly.
Yanzhi nodded again: "Then give birth, children are so cute, little Miss Ating is cute, the little lady from the Xu family is also cute, and the little man and little lady born by you will definitely be even cuter."
If there were a little master, life would be more lively and the master would not be so depressed every day.
Cui Si looked at the person in the mirror. She was sitting in front of the dressing table, while Yanzhi was combing her hair with a jade comb, with a smile on her face.
Cui Si said: "I do want to have children, but I don't want to get married."
Yanzhi's hand trembled, and the jade comb in her hand fell to the ground with a snap. She hurriedly squatted down to pick it up, checked it, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank God, it wasn't broken.
But thinking of Cui Si's words, she felt anxious: "But...but how can we have children without getting married?"
"Just find a life."
"Who are you looking for?"
Cui Si looked at herself in the mirror and said nothing.
Yanzhi thought of Song Lu's invitation to Yan Xingchuan, and her heart skipped a beat. She said quickly, "My lady, this is inappropriate. If you want a child, find a husband to marry and give birth to a child properly. But if the child is born without a name or status, it will be bad for you and the child."
"I know what you're thinking." Cui Si lowered her eyelids. "But if I marry him and become his wife, it will be too tiring. If necessary, I will have to choose to give in and consider the overall situation. Besides, there is Lin Qingning who I can't get rid of. I don't want to do that."
Lin Qingning is Yan Xingchuan's lifelong burden, he can't let her go. The most he can do is insist on not marrying her, but he can never ignore her.
"As for the child... if he were to be born like this, it would likely be a stain on his life."
"Even if the news gets out, it will be bad for the reputation of me and the Cui family."
"Why are you still like this?" Yanzhi was very worried. "Besides, if you don't marry and the master takes a wife, won't your situation be very embarrassing?"
"Then let him not marry." Cui Si raised her eyelids, "He wants to be with me, right? If I don't marry, then he won't marry, and we can just live like this."
"As for the child, we'll talk about it later. I believe he will respect my choice and hope that I can live comfortably."
"What about the old lady..." Yanzhi had a headache. "If the old lady knew, she would be furious."
Cui Si was silent for a moment. She had thought of everything else carefully, but she really didn't know how to explain the matter to Old Lady Xu.
It would be fine if just the crutch fell on her, but I'm afraid the old lady will get hurt from being so angry.
Seeing her hesitation, Yanzhi immediately advised her: "Why don't you just forget it and think about it."
"No." Cui Si immediately shook her head and refused, "I just want this child."
If you miss the time, the child born at that time may not be this one.
Cui Si bit her lip and thought for a moment: "At most, I will wait until the child is born before going back. Then I will tell her that she was picked up from outside and that she is destined to be with me. I will raise her."
Yanzhi almost screamed: Do you think the old lady will believe this?
Besides, do you think no one can tell whether a woman has given birth or not?
Yanzhi thought for a moment and said, "But if the old lady finds out in the future, you and the young master might be fine, but Songlu and I will be in dire straits. Can you bear it?"
The master had misunderstood and done something wrong. If the maids didn't try to persuade her, the old lady would definitely not let them go.
It has always been the case that the maidservant is punished when the master makes a mistake.
Their master has been very well behaved over the years, and has done some things properly, but now he suddenly does something big.
I have a headache.
"Don't worry about that." Cui Si continued, "I, your master, am not someone who lives in seclusion and relies on my elders for everything. You and Song Lu are mine, so I can naturally protect you."
That’s true.
Yanzhi breathed a sigh of relief. Loyalty was one thing, but they were human beings after all, and everyone was afraid of death.
Cui Si continued, "I have made up my mind. You don't need to say anything more. If I don't give birth to this child, I will regret it for the rest of my life. If I marry this man, I will have no choice for the rest of my life."
"I want to be myself and have this child. This is what I want."
"But you said that if you don't marry, he won't marry you. Will he agree? Even if he agrees now, it's hard to say how long it will last. Three, five, or ten years?" Yanzhi felt uncomfortable.
"In that case, it's better to marry him. At least you have a status. Even if he has someone else in the future, you will still be his legal wife, and no one can surpass you."
Cui Si laughed when she heard this: "If it were someone else, this first wife would be like this. With my methods and the power and status of my Cui family, no one can surpass me."
"But who is he? The King of Northern Yan? The future emperor? If he wants, he can demote his wife to a concubine with just a word."
"Since ancient times, there have always been many cases where a man ascended the throne and married another queen, while his original wife only became a concubine."
"As long as he wants to, he is willing to do so."
