Chapter 96: Climbing Power, Attaching to the Party (6)
When Ye Yongjia heard Cui Yi's plea, his head suddenly started buzzing. He looked around in panic, looking at the guards behind him and Cui Yi in front. There was no room for him to escape, so he just stood there straight.
, his eyes were weak, his head was covered in cold sweat, and his palms were soaked.
"Sir..." Cui Yi looked at Master Ye worriedly, and then quickly turned to wink at his sister; the latter caught it from the corner of his eye, but she became more and more frightened, and kept glancing back and forth.
, slender fingers pinched the cuffs tightly, not daring to exhale for a long time.
Ye Yongjia suddenly felt an unknown fire in his heart. He remembered how Cai Xianqing had promised him, but he had fallen into the trap of the two of them without any reason. Not only would he be trapped in injustice, but he would also have to let himself go.
In this embarrassing situation, he looked panicked and lost his usual composure - as if he couldn't show his grace in front of this woman, so he felt extra timid, as if he had made a big mistake.
He was so ashamed that he turned his anger directly on Ms. Cui, "This woman is really vicious!" He cursed in his heart, "For the sake of family fortune, he and his brother would make such a show, even himself..."
…'
Just as she was gnashing her teeth and thinking about it, Mrs. Cui had raised her head slightly. Ye Yongjia was about to look away, but a lock of green hair came out of her white hat and extended along the red ears to her fair neck.
, against that worried face, deeply frowning eyebrows, and nervous eyes, all of which caused Ye Yongjia's eyes to freeze, and he looked at her carefully.
'She had the same reaction as me.' His mood calmed down a bit. 'It doesn't seem like someone who knew anything about it. Maybe she was just tricked by her brother...' Thinking of this, he had a solution.
He asked Mrs. Cui, "Mrs. Cui really thinks so?"
Cui Yi lay on the ground, closed his eyes, and held his breath in concentration.
"……yes."
Cui said this word tremblingly, then picked up the skirt of her skirt, kowtowed to him, and knelt down.
Ye Yongjia was stunned. What he saw was her surrender to him, a helpless act of being coerced by others, and nothing else. He felt how familiar this scene was, as a woman had once dealt with him in this way.
Memories kept flooding in his mind, like an executioner ripping out his flesh one by one.
"Master Ye!" Cui Yi shouted excitedly and took a step forward, "This is what Master Cai ordered us to do, and my sister is also aware of it. Please be merciful and marry my sister.
Even if you work as a cow or a horse, you can still do it as a maid! If you can keep my sister and brother alive for a few days, it will be considered a great kindness from you!"
"I promise you, I promise you," Ye Yongjia sometimes spoke, sometimes paused, and said hesitantly, "But, but... your father has just gone, and he is required to observe filial piety for three years... We still have to find a way.
I'll go back and have a little discussion with Mr. Cai, have a little discussion..." After saying that, he sighed and walked out without looking back.
When the official Zhou saw it, he hurriedly said goodbye to Cui Yi. He just said "take care" and went to chase Ye Yongjia.
"Cui Yi, you are such a bastard! You beast!" Seeing everyone leaving, Ms. Cui tossed her hat, threw her head back and fell down. She cried loudly and cursed loudly. She was crying so hard that she couldn't stop her tears.
He was almost dry, his throat was broken from shouting, and his face was deathly pale.
Cui Yi was so frightened that he kowtowed repeatedly and kept sobbing: "Sister, I have an ambition to display, not for fame and fortune. Isn't it also for our Cui family..."
"Beast! Beast!" Mrs. Cui slapped his head hard with her hand, and Cui Yi stretched out his hand and let her beat him, "My father's body is still cold, but you used such a vicious trick, opened your mouth, and betrayed me to others! What?
'Even if you work as a maid or a maid, you still have to work as a maid'. You, you can actually say this! After all, you are not going to be a maid, you are going to be a ox and horse!"
"Yes, I, Cui Yi, am nothing more than a beast! I am a bastard! Bastard!" Cui Yi slapped himself several times on the face.
"Say it, say it! If outsiders find out that I, a widow, married someone else, or that I decided to get married during my period of mourning, how should they scold me? Even the name of 'unchaste' is a light one!" Cui
Shi said sobbing.
"Sister," Cui Yi raised his head, "I didn't ask him to marry you within three years. The engagement was also made secretly, and outsiders would never know. As for the criticism of 'infidelity', he, Ye Yongjia, is a powerful man.
Guan'er, who dares to curse Mr. Ye's wife?"
Cui said: "If outsiders don't scold me, don't they think I'm causing trouble for him? A few years ago, when I was still at my late husband's house, I heard that there was a Wang family in the village who was imprisoned by the clan leader because he insisted on remarrying.
, blaming her for being from a famous family
, but he brought shame to his ancestors and was beaten to death. Although I am not like this, can a high-ranking official like him endure such private discussions? If he doesn't like it, he can divorce me!
Don’t even think about taking advantage of a senior official!”
"Sister, this Ye Yongjia is not comparable to ordinary people. He only works for the New Deal and never joins in with others. This time, he will not fawn over the 'Qingliu' who has made great achievements and will continue to act on his own. Let me tell you, sister, he
He has always had such a style, but now he has become the minister of two books, and he will surely rise to the top in the future! If my brother follows a person like this, he will be able to shine on the family tree... Please ask my sister for the good of the Cui family..."
Hearing this, Mrs. Cui stopped crying slightly. She wiped her tears and asked softly: "Is this true? There are no flattering words?"
Cui Yi felt happy when he saw his sister calm down, and quickly responded: "How can it be true? He and Yudi have never known each other, why bother to try to praise him? Every word is true!"
"Okay, okay... If people like this are better..." Ms. Cui slowly sat up, seeing that her eyes were red and her face was stained with tears, "If you tell a lie, I would rather go with my father."
!”
"Yu brother doesn't dare," Cui Yi said while observing Cui's expression, "I just... hope that my sister can forgive Yu brother... Yu brother only has a desire to make progress in his heart..."
"Just say whatever you want," Ms. Cui coughed a few times and waved her hand, "No matter what, the matter has been settled and it's too late to say anything. I can only follow your wishes..."
"Thank you for your understanding, sister!" Cui Yi finally took a breath, dusted off his clothes, regained his proud demeanor, stood up and shouted outside the house: "Here, help my sister to the bedroom to rest!"
"No, there is still something about my father's funeral..." This chapter has been completed!
