He's face suddenly changed, and the anger in her heart welled up: "Wan Niang, didn't we agree before? Why are you confused at this juncture? If Jing Niang really gives birth to a son, even if he raises her in
She is in your name, but she is the biological mother of the child after all. Can my uncle not look down upon her? Besides, when the child grows up, he will also miss his biological mother, and he and you, the legitimate mother, will be separated. When the time comes, you
What should I do, what should I do, Sister Qiao?"
The more He spoke, the angrier he became, and his tone became tougher: "Don't worry about this matter. If you are too soft-hearted to do this, I will make arrangements for you."
Cui Wan looked up at He and said apologetically but firmly: "No, I don't agree."
He's temples were beating with anger, and his face was extremely ugly: "Don't be stupid, if you wait until that day, there will be days when you can't even cry..."
"Mom, I have thought about everything you said." Cui Wan said quietly: "I have also been shaken. In those days, I always had nightmares all night long and couldn't sleep. As soon as I closed my eyes, I would think of
Jing Niang was lying in a pool of blood and screaming. That scene was really terrifying. If I really did this, I would have uneasy conscience for the rest of my life."
He frowned and retorted: "What are you afraid of if you have nightmares for a while? It will naturally get better as time goes by. What you want to think about is how to keep your status and my uncle's favor."
Cui Wan said sincerely: "Mom, I know you are doing it for my own good. But, I really don't want to do this. My husband is very good to me, and Jing Niang is also law-abiding. She will never compete with me for anything in the future...
…”
"That's because she hasn't given birth to a son yet." Mrs. He glared at her: "She is at peace now because she is not qualified to compete with you for favor. When she has a child and has the confidence to compete with you, you
Don’t even think about having a comfortable and peaceful life in the future. My uncle is treating you well now, but no one can say what will happen in the future. Jing Niang is younger than you, and she is beautiful and gentle. There is no guarantee that my uncle will not be partial to her in the future.
On the other hand, when the time comes, life will be difficult for you and Sister Qiao."
"Even if that day comes in the future, I will never regret it." Cui Wan's voice was still soft, but the determination in her tone was clearly visible.
Mrs. He knew very well that her daughter was soft on the outside but strong on the inside. Knowing that she said this meant that there was no room for further discussion on the matter. For a moment, she felt angry and annoyed, and also regretted that iron cannot be transformed into steel: "
You...you really piss me off."
Cui Wan saw that Mr. He's face was turning green with anger, and she felt quite unhappy, so she lowered her head and said nothing.
There was a suffocating silence in the room. Only He's erratic breathing could be heard. At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
He was in a very bad mood and asked impatiently: "Who is it?"
"Mom, it's me." A clear young voice sounded outside the door. Hearing this voice, He's face suddenly softened: "Yu'er, come in!"
Cui Yu pushed the door open and walked in. He was secretly surprised when he saw He's face looking unhappy. Then he saw his eldest sister Cui Wan lowered her head and said nothing. She was even more surprised. She couldn't help but ask: "Mom, eldest sister, where were you just now?"
say something?"
Mrs. He calmly smiled and said: "We are discussing about getting you a wife in the future!"
Cui Yunen's face turned red and she stopped asking further questions.
Cui Wan also came back to her senses, and cooperated with He to change the topic: "I think the girl my mother just mentioned is very good. My second brother is not young anymore, so why not ask the official media to come to propose marriage in a few days?
.”
…
Cui Yu's heart was beating wildly, and his ears were red. However, he unconsciously raised his ears, fearing that he might miss a word.
Seeing Cui Yu's look, Mrs. He smiled deliberately and said, "Yes, I also think the third lady in Mr. Wang's residence is pretty good..."
What? The third young lady in Mr. Wang’s house? Cui Yu was startled. But he didn’t dare to say anything, his face turned red. This time he was not shy, he was sweating so hard.
Both He and Cui Wan laughed. They had a tacit understanding and temporarily suppressed the unpleasant disputes in their hearts.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Cui Wan said with a smile: "What we just discussed was the tenth lady of the Changyuan uncle's house. I wonder if you are satisfied with this marriage?"
Cui Yu thoroughly experienced the thrill of riding a roller coaster. He rose from the bottom of the valley to the sky in one fell swoop. He was so floating that he didn't know what to say, so he just kept nodding vigorously.
Even though He was in a gloomy mood, he was amused: "Look at how stupid and hopeless you are. I don't know how you got the idea."
Cui Wan responded with a smile: "My second brother is simple and simple-minded. He is talented in reading and diligent. It is not surprising that he won the first prize. Maybe he can come back with the top score in the next spring!"
Hearing this, Mrs. He felt indescribably relieved, and deliberately teased Cui Yu: "Yes, there is no need to worry about his marriage. I'm afraid there are many matchmakers who come to propose marriage. We just need to open our eyes wide and choose.
Just a good one will do.”
Cui Yu immediately became nervous, and said repeatedly: "Mother, I..." I couldn't say a word for a long time.
Cui Wan couldn't help but laugh: "Mother is teasing you! Why do you take it seriously? When you pass the Chunwei exam next year, mother will naturally arrange your marriage. Don't worry about it, just concentrate on your studies and preparations.
It’s spring time.”
Cui Yu blushed and agreed. Unexpectedly, he thought of that pretty Hibiscus face that was both happy and angry, and his heart started beating wildly again.
Ye Qinglan waited in the side hall for a long time before Cui Wan and He came out. Behind them were today's protagonists, Cui Yu. Cui Yu was so excited because of what he just said, that he didn't dare to look at Ye Qinglan.
Cui Wan's face has returned to calmness, and there is nothing wrong at all on her face. Not to mention He's skill at hiding her thoughts. She greeted everyone with a smile: "The theater troupe is almost ready, we will go over to watch the show right away."
Busy and lively.”
Ye Qinglan was actually not very interested in watching a play, but it was quite interesting for a bunch of women to sit together and gossip. She sat next to Cui Wan and basically didn't interrupt much. She just had to listen with her ears open.
Cui Yu sat next to He, secretly glancing at Ye Qinglan from time to time. Unfortunately, in full view of everyone, he had no chance to come over and talk...
He glanced at him and said with a half-smile, "If you don't want to watch the show, just go talk to your father, brother-in-law, and the others."
How could Cui Yu be willing to leave? Even if he didn't have a chance to talk, it would be good to take a few more glances at such a close distance.
Singing began on the stage, and everyone stopped talking and focused on watching the show. The noisy voice was the best cover, but it made it easier to whisper.
Ye Qinglan approached Cui Wan intentionally or unintentionally, lowered her voice and asked: "Sister-in-law, did my aunt say something to you just now?" The trace of haze between Cui Wan's eyebrows could be hidden from others but not from her.
Cui Wan smiled bitterly and responded in a low voice: "My mother wanted me to bring some midwives to Jing Niang, but I refused."
Sure enough!
Ye Qinglan frowned quickly, then straightened her brows. The woman in the house became cruel and ruthless, which was really terrible. A living life, in He's eyes, became light and fluttering, and she cut it off at will.
With such a powerful aunt, it’s no wonder Cui Yu’s biological mother died early.
Cui Wan was also in a confused mood, but it was not convenient to talk deeply at this time and place, so she whispered "I'll talk to you when I get back" and stopped talking.
After watching the show all afternoon and having dinner, Cui Wan, Ye Yuanwei and his wife said goodbye.
Mrs. He personally sent her daughter and son-in-law to the door. While Ye Yuanwei and Cui Yu were talking, she quickly said to Cui Wan: "Wan Niang, don't be stupid. Go back and think about what I said. If you have figured it out, then
Send me a message."
Cui Wan nodded perfunctorily, but she knew very well that she would never send someone to Cui Mansion to deliver this message.
He wanted to say something else, but couldn't open his mouth due to the crowd, so he could only sigh helplessly.
Ye Qinglan silently took in He's expression, not knowing what to feel in her heart. From the moment Cui Wan heard He's words from Cui Wan's mouth, she completely lost her affection for this cruel and ruthless He. But what if?
From He's point of view, it seems that there is nothing wrong with doing so.
In He's heart, the happiness of her daughter Cui Wan is the most important. But has she ever thought that Cui Jing is also the daughter of another woman? That woman is also looking forward to a happy and peaceful life for her daughter Cui Jing?
The harmony between wives and concubines is actually just a complete joke. Which woman doesn’t want to monopolize her husband’s love?
Fortunately, Cui Wan finally woke up from the nightmare and would not make a wrong decision that she would regret for the rest of her life. I hope He can just let it go and stop forcing Cui Wan.
Cui Yu hesitated for a moment, then finally plucked up the courage and walked over: "Sister Ten, please take care of yourself. I will visit you when I have time in the future."
Ye Qinglan smiled faintly: "Spring is still a few months away. You should concentrate on reviewing your books and preparing for the exam. Don't always worry about coming to see me."
His words were gentle and polite, but slightly distant.
Cui Yu sensitively noticed that Ye Qinglan's mood was different, and looked at Ye Qinglan with confusion. The lantern hanging at the door of Cui's residence emitted a soft orange-red light. Ye Qinglan's face was calm, making it difficult to see what she was thinking.
What.
Even if Cui Yu tried his best, he would never be able to guess what Ye Qinglan was thinking.
With a aunt like He, Cui Yu would still have to give in at a discount no matter how good she was. She didn't want a mother-in-law like He. Besides, Cui Yu had always been filial and obedient. Even if he had the intention to never take a concubine, if He opened his mouth
Yes, can he refuse?
The initially wavering feelings have now cooled down. Cui Yu may be a good match, but having a mother-in-law like He is really too much to bear.
After Ye Qinglan got on the carriage, she didn't look outside again.
Cui Yu stood there blankly, watching the carriage go further and further away, feeling empty in his heart. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, your support is my greatest
