They were indeed shocked to hear this.
"I'm telling you this so that you can think about it. Does your family have any enemies with him? Or does your family have any other enemies?" Seeing that their eyes were about to fall out of their eyes in shock, Lu Yunxi asked without hope.
"My father, uncles, and aunts all have officials, so naturally there are people with whom we have bad relationships. Miss Lu, now that you mention it, I also..." Master Cui scratched his head, and suddenly his eyes lit up. "Oh right, if we talk about enemies... there is indeed one, the man who almost became my eldest brother-in-law."
Cui Shishi was stunned, and she also remembered this person: "Yes, when my family first started looking for a brother-in-law, we carefully selected and finally chose the eldest son of the Zhuang family. But one day, we suddenly found out that he had a concubine outside and had a son. Naturally, my family did not agree to let my eldest sister get married, so we called off the engagement..."
Who knew that the other party was the one who made the mistake, but acted like a victim and spread a lot of rumors outside, saying that the eldest daughter of the Cui family had a bad fate, that the eldest daughter of the Cui family would bring bad luck to her husband if she was married... and so on.
Because the rumor was spread in a busy city, the Cui family didn't notice it at first. By the time they finally discovered the problem, the rumor had spread everywhere.
The Cui family has always had a good relationship. Brothers and sisters, mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, and sisters-in-law all get along well. But when they heard this rumor, they were furious.
Several brothers secretly put a sack on the man, and the elders of the Cui family gave the man's father a severe beating.
At that time, his father was almost promoted, but the Cui family interfered and in the end, not only did he not get promoted, but he was demoted a level.
In short, from then on, whenever the Cui and Zhuang families met, their eyes would turn red. They wouldn't fight to the death, but besides avoiding harming each other's lives, what other tricks did they not use to trip up each other?!
After hearing this story, Lu Yunxi and Shen San looked at each other.
"So, it's very likely that your former brother-in-law took action and asked the Wuzhou prefect for help to kill you?"
The Cui siblings looked at each other and nodded hesitantly, "That should be it? After all, apart from him, there's no one else who has a deep hatred with us. At most, it's just a small conflict."
"So what was the name of your previous brother-in-law?"
"His name is Zhuang Lu. His father is currently a third-rank assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Although he hasn't yet become the Minister of Personnel, every previous Minister of Personnel was promoted from an assistant minister. The current Minister of Personnel is already quite old, and I heard he's planning to retire in the next few years." Cui Er, after all, had been raised in a family, and his face darkened slightly when he said this. "If he really wants to attack our Cui family, given our current situation, no one can resist."
The entire Cui family was exiled, and my father and uncle were even beheaded... He exhaled deeply, his eyes revealing an unspeakable fatigue.
