Chapter 10 Weighing the pros and cons
Mrs. Yang, who paid the money, looked heartbroken, "That's easy to say, what about the Cui family's face? Is face more valuable than money? You just gave me 8,000 taels of silver?"
Aunt Yang advised: "Since the elder girl caused the matter, she should naturally be the one to provide the money."
Yang rolled her eyes and said, "Yes, she should pay this money. Where did the little bitch go? Why hasn't she come back yet?"
"The news came from the Salesian Church early in the morning that two children were missing. The eldest girl must have rushed to find the children."
Mrs. Yang looked disgusted, "If it weren't for that old immortal from the Liu family who was holding the Cui family's hands, I really want to expose the scandal she did and let people see how despicable she is, as despicable as her dead mother."
Aunt Yang advised: "Madam, please calm down. Cui Yuexi is the daughter of the Cui family after all. If the incident comes out, it will always affect the reputation of the third lady. For the sake of the third lady, please bear with it."
"That's all, I'll put up with her for the sake of my Jin Dynasty. By the way, do you know what happened in the Huaiyang Palace that day?"
"I was about to tell my wife that I had found out that Princess Huaiyang held a flower-viewing banquet on the surface to appreciate the flowers, but in fact it was probably for the fourth prince to choose a concubine. I heard that during the banquet, Princess Huaiyang specially ordered the eldest girl to go to the backyard.
Take the Buddhist skewers.”
Yang was shocked, "Could it be that Princess Huaiyang has a crush on the little bitch?"
After saying that, he denied it, "No, it's impossible. A girl like her would not mind even if an ordinary person gets a wife, let alone choosing a concubine for the fourth prince."
Several servants around Yang became panicked instantly.
Yang became angry when he mentioned this matter.
"Can you give your children an upright identity? If you marry me, I will claim to raise the two children. When there is an opportunity in the future, I will make their identities public."
"If you marry me and become the princess, you can see your two children all the time."
Cui Yuexi thought about it almost subconsciously.
Yang panicked, "How could Jinchao do this? Isn't this just giving people an excuse? Go and call the master back. Before the master comes back, no matter how the people in Jingzhao Mansion call the door, they can't be let in, you know?"
?”
"You are of noble birth, but both of your parents are dead. With this status, it is most suitable for you to be my princess."
"I'm not afraid of getting involved. Besides, don't you want to see your child every day?"
Li Jing: ...Bing Quan, she may not know that Liu Guogong is in a worrying situation!
Li Jing: "..."
Yang was worried for a while, "What's going on? I asked you to give money, why don't they leave?"
"What?"
"I only found out about the child by chance. After investigation, I found out that you and I had a relationship at Fo'an Temple three years ago. I didn't know about your existence for three years. Now that I know it, I want to give you and the child an identity.
.”
Yang sneered, "If it's true, the little bitch's death has come. Think about it, she's a girl who has given birth to a child, and she still doesn't have sex on the night of the bridal chamber, and Concubine Xian is a person who has her eyes set above her head. How can she
Will the fourth prince be allowed to have such an unclean concubine?"
Is he that bad?
Cui Yuexi lowered her head, and just after she said a word, she raised her head again, "Your Majesty, what happened three years ago was plotted against me. I guess what happened to your Majesty must have happened. I won't ask. It's better to just forget about it."
, Your Majesty, there is really no need to marry me."
"Is it really that simple?"
[I heard that the fourth prince is the only one who dares to say no to the emperor. With his protection, Sister Rong and Brother Ye may really be able to walk in front of others openly. 】
"Second Madam, it's bad, people from Jingzhao Mansion are here again."
"You want to announce the identity of Sister Rong and Brother Ye?"
"But what if Princess Huaiyang really falls in love with the older girl?"
There is no such thing as a good thing falling in the sky. The only reason Cui Yuexi could think of for being plotted was her grandfather.
"You really don't want to marry me?"
Cui Yuexi's alarm bells are ringing. With such temptation, there must be a lot of trouble and interests involved behind it.
He narrowed his eyes and said, "If we really want to pursue the case, the old man from the Liu family will also be implicated. If something happens to him, we won't have to rely on others to live."
Li Jing sat at the table, stated her conditions, and looked at Cui Yuexi again. Her eyes were not as cold as on the first day, but looked at several people with unclear meanings.
If the trouble really comes to Jingzhao Mansion, only Cui Yuexi can come forward.
"yes."
Cui Yuexi tightened her throat and boldly said, "The fourth prince is so beautiful, how could I not want to marry you? It's just that I haven't settled some grudges well for fear of hurting you."
[Cheng Shi approached her because of his grandfather’s military power, and it seems that the fourth prince did too.]
Mrs. Yang grabbed Nanny Yang's hand and said, "Go and send someone to find Cui Yuexi. Go quickly."
【Is it just that simple?】
The Fourth Prince's Mansion.
【Don’t you have one?】
Yang became even more angry, "Catch whoever? Go to the Marquis Mansion to arrest people. Are they full and have nothing to do? Drive them away."
"No, ma'am, the people in Jingzhao Mansion said that when the eldest girl frightened the horse, someone saw the girl's natal brother holding the piano throwing something towards the carriage. Their brother holding the piano had been arrested, and he identified it as the young lady letting the horse go.
Baoqin ordered him to do this, and the people from Jingzhao Mansion said they wanted to take Miss Third to investigate."
Cui Yuexi asked her doubts, "How did the prince know that the child is yours, and when did he know it?"
The painted eyes exuded a light as cold as ice.
Li Jing twitched the corner of her mouth, a typical example of wanting children rather than husband and wife.
"The people from Jingzhao Mansion said they were here to arrest someone."
"You also know that my mother-in-law is of noble birth, and the royal family is at its peak. If I marry a legitimate daughter from a high-ranking family at this time, I am afraid it will arouse everyone's suspicion, and even my father will suspect that I have the intention to compete for the throne.
"
Cui Yuexi looked at Li Jing seriously, wondering if this guy was so good at hiding that she couldn't see any signs of lying.
The title of Cuijun has no real power, and even Yang, the marquis and his wife, are not favored by others. So far, the marquis and his wife are still the dead Liu family, and she does not even have a royal title.
【Of course I want to, I have even dreamed of it.】
[No matter what secrets are hidden, he is a dangerous person. She just wants to live a good life with Sister Rong and Brother Ye, and does not want to get married. 】
[What happened three years ago, it seems like there is something unspeakable in his tone.]
"It's that simple."
"The fourth prince tried so hard to marry me, but for what purpose?"
[As for my grandfather’s military power, although the Liu family’s military power is not as good as that of the Wang family, it is not easy for the fourth prince to gain his grandfather’s trust. ]
【……】
Li Jing did not rush her, he believed Cui Yuexi could make the right choice.
"Sister, sister." Brother Ye's voice came from the window.
