Chapter 147: Confusion
What the eyes see is not necessarily true, and beneath the beautiful often lies the most terrible truth.
Under Cui's gentleness is ruthless and vicious.
And Zhi Yao, who was hit by the sudden failure, had a chaotic mind for a while, and immediately sobered up after seeing the murderous aura in Cui's eyes.
Her heart shook suddenly, and she secretly scolded herself for being too reckless just now.
After taking two breaths hard, she opened her mouth with difficulty: "It's the daughter who heard it wrong, and the father only recognizes the mother as the head of the family." β
Bai Yanchang is her most solid backing, but he changed his mind on the spot, and all his previous plans came to naught.
As soon as she said this, Bai Yanchang, who was nervous and erected his hair, also breathed a sigh of relief.
When Cui's was seriously ill and crazy, he never gave due attention, but took the opportunity to marry a concubine.
Now, Cui's is well, and he will definitely settle accounts with him.
Over the years, he has been polite to Cui's family, and many times he is still a little afraid.
I thought she was sick, and she became a kite with a broken string, and she could do whatever she wanted. If you ever thought of it, you still have to look at the face of your daughter-in-law.
The thought of the days before would sweep him over, and he felt no good from head to toe.
"That's it, ma'am, how could I say such a thing, but I look forward to your well-being every day." The smile on Bai Yanchang's face was very stiff, and even he felt very uncomfortable.
Cui Shi nodded, and the murderous aura in his eyes gradually decreased, "Then master, the big guy can't come for nothing today, you better tell who is in charge." β
This move knowingly made Bai Yanchang embarrassed. "Of course it's still you, madam!" He added in an accentuated tone and added firmly: "This family can only be a lady!" β
This time. Cui's face showed a look of satisfaction. "In that case, that's all for now. The big guys can hear it clearly, from now on. I don't want to hear anyone talk about changing the head of the family, and I don't want to hear rumors of someone seeking power! β
With that, she saluted the old lady Bai, took red joy, and left the ancestral hall under the respectful gaze of everyone.
When she was far away, everyone dared to raise their heads and gasp for breath.
Their attitude was not because of Cui's majesty, but because they really felt her terrible.
It is impossible for a crazy person to get better all of a sudden, and it is still in time today.
So. It's likely that Choi has been pretending to be crazy and stupid all along. Or she has long since returned to normal, but she still keeps everyone in the dark and watches the play on the side.
If this is the case, then there will be a part of the Bai family compound that will be unlucky.
The minions who left after she became seriously ill and insane, the people who spoke ill of her behind her back, and the careerists who took advantage of the opportunity to calculate her position as a mistress.
Among these people, Hua and Zhi Yao, as well as Chunyu, were the most disturbed.
Hua and Zhi Yao are better, after all, they are people with some status, but the nameless Spring Rain is different. She is a woman who threatens the weight of the Cui family in Bai Yanchang's heart.
At this time, Chunyu, who was anxiously waiting for news in his room, was completely unaware of what happened in the ancestral hall.
"Master!" A little girl panted and pushed the door in, "Master." Big things are wrong! β
Chunyu, who had just sat down to rest, jumped off the couch, "What's wrong?" The horror on the little girl's face made her heart go cold, and a sense of foreboding came over her.
"Madame is here!"
"What's the joke?" Chunyu rolled her eyes, "She's a madman!" What are you talking about? β
She grimaced and prepared to sit back on the couch. suddenly heard a cold female voice that made people tremble.
"I'm really here for a madman."
Just listening to this voice, she couldn't help but tremble, and when she saw Cui's noble and majestic figure. She already felt weak in her legs and tingling in her hair. The body is stiff.
In her opinion, Cui's is like a ghost from the underworld. One look can eat her alive.
"Ma'am." She bowed her head cowardly.
Cui Shi, who slowly walked in front of her, snorted coldly, "Sure enough, good appearance, good voice, good figure." β
Three 'good' in a row made Chunyu even more uneasy.
This is praise and hatred, and it is clearly jealousy and resentment.
"Raise your head and let me take a closer look." Cui Shi sat on the couch, his eyes glancing at the embroidery on the couch table, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. Then he picked up the embroidery, "Tut, the girl in Chunyue Tower can also embroider, no wonder the master brought you into the door regardless of my thoughts." β
"I'm embroidering indiscriminately, and I can't compare with the people in the house."
"Oh, you can embroider like this." Cui Shi smiled weirdly.
Chunyu's palms were dripping with cold sweat, and he didn't know how to answer. She knew that no matter how she responded, Cui would bite her to death.
His eyes kept looking at her, and Cui's face became more and more gloomy, "It's a beauty." β
Chunyu hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to move.
Squinting his eyes, Cui Shi exhaled heavily, and the expression on his face actually eased. "These days, you have worked hard to serve the master."
What the? Chunyu blinked his eyes, but he didn't dare to look up.
"I won't let you work hard in vain, for the sake of your infatuation with the lord and making him happy, I won't care about all your ridiculous things, and I will stay in the house and continue to serve the lord in the future."
This time, Chunyu was sure that he had heard correctly. Cui Shi actually let her stay!
Before she could react, she listened to Cui Shi continue to say very seriously: "You can't always have no identity, don't worry, as long as you are pregnant with a child, regardless of men and women, I will ask the master to give you a name, if it is a boy, it is a concubine, the same as the fourth child." β
Is there such a good thing? Chunyu couldn't believe her ears.
"Ma'am, are you serious?" She looked up excitedly and asked.
"It's true, of course, I never say anything spoofy." The stern sΓΉ on Cui's face showed her seriousness.
Chunyu stared at her in a daze for a long time, before she reconfirmed, "Madame won't regret it?" β
"I never look back. I have the conditions, though. β
Chunyu hurriedly asked, "What conditions?" β
"You woo the second girl what you said, and tell me again."
After careful consideration, Chunyu thought that this deal was still very cost-effective.
Therefore, she told Cui Shi what Zhi Yao had said word for word.
Cui Shi listened quietly, and asked her to serve Bai Yanchang, and then returned to the courtyard with Hongxi.
"Let all the minions of the whole house come here at night." Cui Shi lay on the bed tiredly.
Although the head is clear and most of the illness is cured, it is still not advisable to overwork.
"How's that girl?" She asked Grandma Sun instead.
"She's half-crazy and half-stupid now."
Cui's nose snorted coldly, "You deserve it, Ming'er asked Chen Er to take it away and buy it in the mountains, but there are many people who can't marry a daughter-in-law." β
In the evening, before the sun set, the servants of each courtyard and room hurried to Cui's courtyard for fear of delaying time, and did not dare to eat.
Of course, there are also people who don't know the situation when it gets dark.
Cui Shi sat on a long purple and red wood carved chair covered with satin brocade cushions, holding a cup of warm medicinal tea in his slender and pale hands, and his gloomy eyes swept towards everyone from time to time.
"These days, although I am lying in bed, I know everything that is happening in this inner courtyard, big and small."
The minions were all shocked, and they all pricked up their ears and listened carefully, for fear of missing half a word.
"Some of you thought I was sick and let go, and some of you simply let me die, and I was no longer the mother of the house. Even a few people in my hospital have no conscience. β
Cui Shi took a sip of tea and raised his chin slightly towards Hongxi.
Hongxi nodded, and together with Grandma Sun, brought up the minions who betrayed the Cui family.
It was two little girls and an old lady who came up, and the three of them knelt in front of Cui's and pleaded tremblingly.
"Madam, the old slave was confused for a while before following the second girl, please let the old slave go this time, in the future, the old slave will definitely serve the lady wholeheartedly, and dare not have two hearts!"
"Madam, the servant is wrong, you can spare the servant."
"Madam, you beat the servant, scold the servant, please don't drive the servant out."
Cui Shi rolled his eyes impatiently, and Hongxi immediately drank, "Enough!" When Madame was in trouble, where did you go? The whole courtyard was taken to do tiring and dirty work, but you went to the courtyard of the second girl. Hmph, are you embarrassed to beg your wife for mercy now? β
A few minions didn't dare to say anything more.
"You don't need to ask me, but no one who cares for the feelings of his master or servant will go to another man's court. If you don't understand this, then I have raised you for nothing, and I don't need to keep you again. Mama Sun and Mama Zhao, one of them slapped twenty, and Ming'er took them to find Zhou Fu and let them go out of the house. β
The lazy voice revealed that this was not a disobedient attitude.
A few minions had no choice but to accept their fate, and in front of the servants of the whole house, they were forced to receive twenty boards on their mouths.
The face will swell after a few boards, let alone twenty.
After the board was played, the skin of the mouths of several minions was blurred with blood, dizziness, unable to stand up, and unable to speak.
The other minions watched the qiΔ, listened to their wails, watched the blood gurgle down, and felt like their hearts were pounding as if they were going to die in the next moment.
"This is what happens if you don't know the rules! : Cui Shi put down the tea cup in his hand and swept coldly to everyone's face.
"I know that some of you have your own masters, and that you don't share the same mind as me. But you have memorized for me, no matter what you think in your heart, be honest and respectful in front of me, otherwise, your master will not be able to protect you! β
She wants everyone in this house to know that she is the only person in charge of this inner courtyard.
Looking at everyone's expressions with satisfaction, Cui's heart was comfortable. I trained some more house rules to let the minions go back.
"Chunhua, is your girl sleeping now?"
Chunhua turned around and was just about to leave when he heard Cui's unusually gentle voice behind him. She turned around cowardly and bowed her head respectfully: "Not yet, does Madame have something to say to the third girl." (To be continued.) )
