Chapter 468 The face of the family and Miss Cuijia

Holding the letter, Lin Zhao hesitated for a while, and then walked away from the governor's mansion and walked to the entrance of a small courtyard that was only dozens of steps away from the governor's mansion.

This is the residence of the Cui siblings.

Because Lin Zhao helped do some work when moving, so Lin Zhao still recognized it here.

After arriving at the door, Lin Zhao hesitated for a while, then reached out and knocked on the door.

Soon, the door was opened. A child who looked only ten years old should have just been playing in the yard. In the cold weather, his forehead was covered with sweat.

After seeing Lin Zhao, he was stunned for a moment, then took two steps back, saluted respectfully at Lin Zhao, "Cui Zhan meets the deceased brother."

This child is Miss Cui's younger brother and the youngest son of Cui Yin, the parent of Cui's family.

Children from aristocratic families have extremely strict tutoring, so even if he is just ten years old, he will not be rude when facing Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao glanced at him, showed a smile on his face, and he also clasped his fists at him and returned the favor: "You are kind to Jiulang."

This child is in the fourth place of Cui Yin, but among his peers, the siblings have lived in Lin Zhao's governor's mansion for seven or eight days, so Lin Zhao knows them all.

After the ceremony, Lin Zhao coughed and asked the child: "Jiulang, is your sister at home?"

The child lowered his head slightly, then turned his eyes, and lowered his head and said, "Brother Shi, my sister is not at home, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Zhao was stunned for a moment, then took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Cui Zhan: "I have found your brother. This is the letter they sent from Yangzhou. Jiulang will help me pass it on to your sister."

Cui Jiulang was happy and quickly took it with both hands, then lowered his head to Lin Zhao again, and his voice became more sincere: "Duo... I thank you brother Shi."

Governor Lin nodded at him with a smile.

"There is no need to be so polite. It's nothing, I'll go back first."

After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave.

As soon as Lin Zhao turned around, he heard a anxious and angry voice coming from behind him.

"Kyuro, who taught you to lie?"

Lin Zhao frowned slightly, stopped and looked back. During this time, Miss Cui hurried out from the inner room. She first walked to her younger brother, took the letter from Cui Jiulang, and then glared at her younger brother.

"Have my ancestral teachings from the Cui family taught you to lie?"

She changed her usual gentleness and scolded her younger brother fiercely: "Brother Shi is our benefactor. He has never treated you badly on weekdays. Why do you want to deceive him with lies?"

Cui Jiulang lowered his head, blushed and could not say a word for a long time.

Lin Zhao frowned slightly at first, then realized the cause and effect relationship. He shook his head, walked to the side of the siblings, and smiled and said, "Jiulang was playing in the yard just now, and he might have said it wrong for a moment, so Liu Niang doesn't need to be angry."

"The news sent from Yangzhou is that one of the two brothers seems to have been injured a little, but they are now recuperating in Yangzhou and are not seriously injured for the time being."

He lowered his head slightly to Miss Cui and whispered: "I have sent the letter. If Liu Niang has a reply, I will write it tomorrow and send it to me."

As he said that, Lin Zhao was about to bow his hand.

Miss Cui's eyes were red, and she held the letter from Yangzhou tightly with both hands, and stood in front of Lin Zhao, a little at a loss.

"Three... Brother Shi, my brother didn't mean to lie to you, he..."

"He is ignorant..."

Seeing her appearance, Lin Zhao felt a little reluctant, and immediately shook his head: "It's okay, I'm here to deliver a letter to you siblings. There's nothing else to do. When the letter is delivered, I'll go back."

As he said that, he whispered to Miss Cui: "The two brothers who have been separated are fine. This is a rare and good thing. You brothers and sisters write letters to communicate. If they settle down in Yangzhou, I can send some people to send you to Hangzhou."

Miss Cui held the letter from Yangzhou tightly with both hands, lowered her head and said nothing.

Lin Zhao sighed slightly and turned and left.

After Lin Zhao left, Miss Cui looked at his left back and was stunned for a long time before she walked to the stone bench in the yard in a daze.

Then, she lay on the table and cried loudly.

Cui Jiulang stood beside him, like a child who had done something wrong, looking at his crying sister, feeling a little at a loss.

After a long time, he mustered up the courage, walked to his sister, lowered his head and said, "Sister... I... I didn't mean to lie to him."

The 10-year-old child lowered his head and his voice was very small.

"Since we arrived in Qingzhou, sister, you often ran to him. I went out two days ago and heard someone was talking outside."

The little baby hesitated for a while and continued, "Sister, I know he was born beautifully and is very good to us, but...but he is already married."

"We are the Cui family..."

Cui Jiulang's voice gradually became firmer.

"You didn't go out today, so he came to find you. It was obvious that you were planning to be ill-gotten. You can't be fooled by him..."

This is the deep-rooted concept of the aristocratic family. Even this ten-year-old child is very interested in the family and face.

In the hearts of the Cui family, no matter how difficult they are, they will never be able to marry someone else as a concubine. Even in Cui Zhan's eyes, Lin Zhao, the governor, clearly took advantage of their siblings to get into trouble and wanted to take the opportunity to threaten his sister.

Therefore, he deceived Lin Zhao at the door.

Or rather, it was not a fraud, but a polite rejection to Lin Zhao on behalf of the Cui family.

Most people cannot understand or hear this kind of refusal, but Lin Zhao is famous for Lingxing in Chang'an City, and he almost immediately understood what Cui Zhan meant.

Therefore, Governor Lin turned around and left with great grace, and expressed his willingness to send their siblings to Yangzhou.

After all, if you force it at this time, it will indeed be a bit of a risk.

Miss Cui lay on the stone table, tears flowing endlessly, ignoring her young brother.

Cui Jiulang also knew that he might have done something wrong, so he stood in front of his sister in a manner and did not dare to move.

I don’t know how long it took, but Miss Cui finally sorted out her emotions. She raised her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves. She was already crying and lost her complexion.

She didn't bother to tidy up her hair, first looked at her younger brother and choked up, "After we arrived in Qingzhou, the Lin family brother has been treating me with courtesy. People come to visit me. Even if my father is here, there is no reason to drive people away. Why should you drive people for me?"

Cui Jiulang first looked up at his sister, then lowered his head, and stuttered: "Sister, I'm afraid you will be deceived by him..."

"How do you know he's going to lie to me?"

Cui Zhiqing was already so angry that she bit her lip, looked at her younger brother, and said angrily: "Even if I was deceived by him, I won't do anything to you!"

After saying that, she got up from the stool, took the letter from Yangzhou, and returned to her room angrily, and lay on the bed and cried.

This Miss Cui, who almost lost her life when she saw Lin Zhao at the Danyang Princess's Mansion, felt extremely sad at this moment.

"He's the first time he's here... he's coming to lie to me..."

Miss Cui bit her lip and tears flowed down again.

"Why should I drive him away..."
