Chapter 13 Before marrying, Si Niang passed away
Aunt Qiufang almost screamed: How can this be justified?!
You are just making up stories! You are so unreasonable!
Aunt Qiufang was unwilling to give in and wanted to say something, but Old Madam Xu waved her hand:
"Alright, that's it. We in the Second House will not pursue the matter of Fourth Lady's outrageous remarks today from the First House, and the First House does not need to pursue the matter of Fifth and Sixth Lady breaking Second Lady's legs. This matter is settled."
Finally, he turned to Mr. Cui Si and said, "Old Fourth, even if we're being reasonable, and arguing about who's at fault, it's Si Niang who's at fault. Even if Er Lang has any complaints, he should blame Si Niang for bringing him this disaster. The root cause is that Mrs. Xie didn't teach her daughter well."
"The daughter made a mistake and the son suffered the consequences. What else can be said?"
"But..." Aunt Qiufang was still unwilling.
"What else is there to say? Just tell your wife this. If she still has any objections, let her come to me in person and I, an old lady, will argue with her."
Old Madam Xu stopped Aunt Qiufang from speaking, then looked at the two brothers of Master Cui Si and said calmly, "Don't mention the matter of concubines again. If anyone dares to mention it, don't blame me, an old lady, for knocking on your door with my cane."
"Okay, let's go."
Mrs. Xu sent them all away, then snorted coldly and cursed, "Mrs. Xie is really becoming more and more despicable. She has raised her daughter like this."
"A'si, you did a great job today. If you just keep swallowing your anger, Xie will think that people from my second house are easy to bully."
Cui Si diligently massaged the old lady's legs, but she was worried: "Madam Cui's favoritism towards Fourth Sister has always been obvious to all. If Fourth Sister insists, I'm afraid this matter won't be so easy to let go."
"Asi is not afraid of an open attack, but I am afraid of a sneak attack. As the saying goes, it is easy to dodge an open spear but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark. Asi's situation is probably not good."
Old Madam Xu snorted coldly, "If they dare to plot against you, come and do it. The worst-case scenario is that you will have to marry her off. But my Ah Si is not a concubine. Before I marry her off, I'll send Si Niang off to the west first, and then you can marry her off as the principal wife."
This idea can be said to be passed down from generation to generation.
Cui Si thought so too.
If it really came to that, and Madam Cui and Cui Yun dared to force her to be a concubine, she would send Cui Yun to the west and marry them to be the principal wife.
Song Rou's face changed drastically, and she trembled in panic: "Mother-in-law, is this not good?"
"What's wrong with that?" Old Madam Xu glared at her. "Since they dared to start the fight first, do they mean they can't let anyone else fight back? Or do you think that since Ah Si was forced to become a concubine, we should just let it go?"
"That's right. Ah Si is not your daughter, so naturally you don't care about Ah Si's future."
This was a serious statement, and Song Rou's face turned pale.
She hurriedly said, "Mother-in-law, your daughter-in-law didn't mean that."
"No best, okay, you can go too. I find you annoying." Old Mrs. Xu was also very disgusted with her daughter-in-law. She waved her hand and told her to get out.
Song Rou seemed to have something to say. She opened her mouth but hesitated. In the end, she could not say a word and bowed and left pitifully and aggrievedly.
Old Mrs. Xu was really annoyed with her: "What on earth is wrong with your father? Why did he fall for her? This family can't even support itself. Whenever something goes wrong, he just acts so aggrieved and pitiful."
Cui Si massaged her shoulders and said, "Maybe it's because I'm getting older that I like this delicate and sweet girl."
Cui Si actually didn't have much to say about her father remarrying. Her father and mother had an ordinary relationship, where they respected each other and lived in harmony.
My mother even took two concubines for my father to take care of his daily life.
After their mother passed away, their father was not too old and wanted to remarry. As his children, they could not only care about their mother and ignore their father, so they just let him do what he wanted.
But it shouldn't have been Song Rou.
It's so disgusting.
Old Madam Xu sighed and asked Cui Si, "Have you seen Song Zhi?"
Cui Si hummed, "We met at the door."
"He must be waiting for you." Old Mrs. Xu looked outside the door.
Spring is back, everything comes back to life, leaves are green and flowers are red.
"You really don't want to marry the King of Northern Yan?"
"A few days ago, you said that the King of Northern Yan was a hero with an excellent reputation and that he would be a good husband. If you were to marry, only such a good husband would be a good match for you.
Although I don't know why you changed your mind and don't want to get married anymore, I'll ask you again, do you really not want to get married?"
"If you want to get married, grandma can still fight for you while the relationship is still settled."
Cui Si's eyes were slightly sore when she heard this, tears gathering in her eyes. She shook her head stiffly: "My granddaughter has thought it through clearly. She will not get married."
"The road to Beiyan City is long. If I marry there, I don't know when I can return. I can't bear to leave my grandmother, father, uncle, and brother. I was mistaken before. No matter how good things are in the world, they are not as important as being with your family."
In her previous life, she married far away and her farewell to the old lady was forever. She regretted it so much.
"In this lifetime, my granddaughter only wants to stay in Xianyang City and be with grandma."
Old Mrs. Xu was surprised. Her granddaughter usually pretended to be good, but was actually very strong-willed and wanted to be the best in everything. She really wanted to be a queen for fun.
I just didn't expect that I would suddenly come to my senses.
Old Madam Xu was quite happy: "Okay, okay, stay in Xianyang City, stay with Grandma. Whoever wants to be the Queen of Northern Yan can do it!"
"But..." Mrs. Xu paused for a moment, "But if you don't marry the King of Northern Yan, this marriage must be settled as soon as possible, and it would be best if you get married as soon as possible."
Cui Si was slightly stunned: "Why is this?"
She is only fifteen this year, and she will be of marriageable age in May. She wants to stay at home more and accompany her grandmother, so why does she have to get married?
"You, you are confused." Old Mrs. Xu shook her head, thinking that her granddaughter was hopeless.
"Although I don't know why Si Niang mentioned you as a concubine, but since she did, and she has a mother who spoils her to the point of lawlessness, we have to be on guard."
"What's the point of arguing with them about 'open and covert attacks'? What if we win the fight or lose?
If you had arranged the marriage and gotten married quickly, would they still force you, a married woman from the Cui family, to come back as a concubine?"
Cui Si was stunned.
Yes, if she got married, Mrs. Cui and Cui Yun would not be able to plot against her.
"But this is too sudden..."
"It's not sudden. Your mother has been preparing your dowry since you were born. Your family has also prepared quite a bit for you, even your wedding dress. If you hurry up, you can complete the six rituals and marry into your husband's family within a month or two."
"But you should choose carefully. Song Zhi, even though you don't like him as a sister, he's a good person and he cares about you. Are you really not considering him?"
