Chapter Ninety-Five: Going to the Grave
If Cui Wanqing doesn't step into the gate of the Ming'an Hou Mansion, it means that she won't have the opportunity to meet Aunt Jiang.
If she can't see Aunt Jiang, how could Cui Wanqing notice that the cause of Cao Yunxiu's death is strange?
These things seem to be unrelated on the surface, but in fact, they are all interlocking, and Cui Changjian is missing one of the most critical links, so in his heart, he only feels that God has finally opened his eyes.
A little thing is not enough to completely destroy the second lady Cui, her wedding teahouse was troubled in front of her, and it was all made in the yamen, and the entire Cui family was laughed at, but that woman is not good now?
This is the most practical example.
Cui Changjian is the eldest son of Xifu, and will be the first heir of Xifu in the future.
Second Mrs. Cui didn't deal with the three of them when she was a child, and she was targeted everywhere, but the only good thing was that Second Mrs. Cui had bad luck and did not give birth to her own son, and she only got a daughter after nine years.
If this has a son by his side, can Cui Changjian live so peacefully? I'm afraid that I have already had a life-and-death relationship with Second Mrs. Cui.
Cui Changjian can be thriving in Pengfei Academy, and his brain is absolutely enough.
This time he discovered Cui Wanqing's secret by chance, so seizing the opportunity, taking advantage of the opportunity, and finally achieving his goal is what he will do.
Cui Changjian repeatedly weighed the pros and cons, and finally decided to cooperate with Cui Wanqing to investigate Cao Yunxiu's matter!
If this matter is true, then the second lady Cui will have no place to stand in the Cui family, once and for all, no matter how big the risk is, it is worth taking.
Cui Changjian's plan was very thorough, and Cui Wanqing, who was standing on the side, listened to what Cui Changjian said, but was speechless for a while.
She really didn't know that Zhou Yue'e's fiancΓ© actually liked Cao Yunxiu, she suddenly remembered the 'peony for glory' given to her by her father, the words of her father when he gave her painting, and her father's obviously not calm look later.
At that time, he was indulging in the joy of getting his favor, and completely ignored these small details, and now that Cui Changjian said it, Cui Wanqing knew that his third brother definitely didn't tell a lie.
This Wu Youheng not only really admires Cao Yunxiu, but his father still knows about this matter!
How much gossip does this have to be? How private does this have to be?
Thinking that although Cao Yunxiu went at a young age, Cui Wanqing still couldn't help but envy this beautiful woman, there were so many people who loved her and thought about her.
Cui Wanqing couldn't help but sigh lightly, "My father also knows about this matter, but it's a pity that it is related to the reputation of the elders, and we as juniors can't ask, if we can find out the news from my father's mouth, it should be much more comprehensive than these sporadic news." β
"How do you know that my father knows about this?" Cui Changjian was surprised and blurted out.
Cui Wanqing was invited by Cui Yongzhong to the study of the outer courtyard that day and gave away paintings, and briefly talked about it.
Cui Changjian put his hands around his arms and said with a smile: "If my brother's guess is correct, my father must be suspicious of that person, let's move quickly, ninth sister, as long as this matter can be solved smoothly, my brother is willing to give the newly opened fat powder shop to my sister, and my sister will marry in the future, and my brother will also be a thick dowry." β
Cui Wanqing smiled, there are too few people available in her hands now, some time ago, Fang's mother was seriously ill for this matter, and she would choose to cooperate with Cui Changjian, which is actually the best choice.
I am looking for justice for my mother, Cui Changjian not only contributes, but also has to pay, and he takes advantage of it, but he takes a little too much.
She smiled and said to Cui Chang: "Third brother, on the first day of October the day after tomorrow, my sister wants to go to her mother's grave to burn paper, but she is single, not only lonely, but this journey is not close, my sister is also worried about the safety of the exchange, if the third brother is free, it is better to go with my sister, how about it?" β
Cui Changjian bowed his hand, "On that day, no matter how big the matter is for my brother, I have to let go, and going to Aunt Yun's grave is the top priority. β
Cui Wanqing smiled happily and bent her knees, "My sister thanked the third brother, then I'll see you at the second door early in the morning the day after tomorrow." β
Cui Changjian helped her get up with his own hand, and whispered in Cui Wanqing's ear, "Sister, you might as well report it to your father, lest someone say that you went out without permission." β
Cui Wanqing nodded, thoughtful, "In my previous life, I was blind at home for so many years, and I didn't even see people clearly, I used to always say that the brothers and sisters in Dongfu are full of talents, but now I look at it from a different angle, and these young ladies and sons in Xifu are not too far behind." β
"The eldest sister Cui Wanhua is scheming, and she will definitely not be so dignified on the surface, and the fifth sister Cui Wanyun is even more unfathomable, and now she is not only good at doing business, but also very good at getting along with people."
"Look, it's only a year's work, and it's changed from being disgusted by everyone in the past to being happy by everyone now, no matter whether it's the East Mansion or the West Mansion, there is no one she can't talk to."
Cui Wanqing looked at Cui Wanyun in the middle of the house with cold eyes, wearing flowers and butterflies, wandering among the brothers and sisters, the glass beads on the skirt were sparkling, and the gemstone beads on the sideburns were swaying.
is smiling like a flower at everyone, smiling so sincerely, with such a personality, coupled with such a beautiful appearance, there are really too few people who can resist, and the future is really immeasurable.
"The fifth sister is also very different from before, if you know that a big disaster can make such a big change for the two of you, I don't know, will the ice of that day be broken?" Cui Changjian saw that Cui Wanqing was looking seriously, and couldn't help but look at her eyes, naturally seeing Cui Wanyun's style.
couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he put his hands behind his back and asked lightly with a calm face.
Cui Changjian's words are like talking to himself, and he seems to be sighing, thinking about the excellence of his younger sisters, and then thinking about the ignorance of his fourth sister, who always causes trouble, he really doesn't know what it feels like.
Cui Wanqing curled the corners of her lips, as if she hadn't heard his words, but praised from the bottom of her heart: "Thanks to the generosity of the eldest uncle, we can get together so neatly, if the third brother has money in the future, you might as well let the brothers and sisters get together more, they are all a family, and it is not a bad thing to be close to you." β
Cui Changjian smiled when he heard this, "Silly sister, even if you are rich as a brother, you don't have this mind, you, don't just look at the surface harmony, after tonight, this should make you stumble, you will never stop it, you should be pushed, and it will definitely not stop there." β
"Live in the mansion, don't look at any family joy, the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, for my brother anyway, I don't have any expectations, I advise my sister, don't be too careful, otherwise in the end, whoever cares more will be hurt more."
Cui Wanqing knew that he didn't like to be close to his brothers in his previous life, even if the lobby brother could get into his eyes, he couldn't get close.
Although I don't know if there is any story here, since Cui Wanqing has decided to cooperate with Cui Changjian, then the two are people in the same boat, so they will naturally put themselves in the shoes of partners.
What she said just now also wanted to mention Cui Changjian, don't be a lone ghost, people still have to be gregarious, this is also something she has only experienced in this life.
In his previous life, he only had his daughter by his side, and he treated each other wholeheartedly, and even if he was heartfelt to himself, he had his own purpose.
The people around you like you now have no purpose and do not involve interests, but they are good to themselves out of feelings and from the bottom of their hearts.
The taste of being cared for, loved, and taken care of is really good, Cui Wanqing still remembers the blood shed by Brother Li for herself, and the tears shed by Mother Fang for herself.
These are all real things, not in exchange for money or power, this feeling is really amazing, Cui Wanqing hopes that Cui Changjian can also experience it.
"Did the third brother ever think that even if they could be neutral and not partial, I think it would be good, at least there would be fewer obstacles that should have been." She thought about it in her heart, but decided to persuade her again.
Cui Changjian turned his face to look at her, and suddenly chuckled, "This kid, like an adult today, actually persuaded me to be an elder brother." It's just socializing, just a friend of the college. β
Cui Wanqing saw that he had listened to the persuasion, and her heart was relaxed, and she felt quite comfortable at this dinner party in the evening.
On the morning of the second day, Cui Wanqing sent her great-mother to the study in the outer courtyard, found Steward Kui, and told her that she was going to go to her mother's grave the next day, which could be regarded as reporting to her father.
In the afternoon, she personally took leave in front of Cui Lao Taijun, Cui Lao Taijun thought that the child was afraid that he wanted to talk to his mother, and gave the good news to one or two, and he also responded with a smile.
Originally, I was worried that it would not be safe for her to go out alone, so I wanted a well-behaved housekeeper in the outer courtyard to accompany her.
At least there is something that can be dealt with by stepping forward, and there is no need for Cui Wanqing's maid mother to come forward.
Cui Wanqing smiled when she heard this. "Good grandmother, last night my granddaughter and my third brother enjoyed the painting, which is the one hanging on the east wall, 'Spring Morning Picture'."
"The granddaughter inadvertently talked about wanting to see her mother's parents, and the third brother was quite emotional when she heard it, saying that her mother's parents took care of him a lot at the beginning, and she also wanted to burn paper together.
"Okay, okay." Mrs. Cao's laughter came from the bottom of her heart, and she was very happy when she saw that Cui Changjian was able to fall in love with Cui Wanqing.
After all, their own children know that Cui Changjian smiles well at everyone, in fact, he is the most wary person, which has a lot to do with the fact that the second lady Cui is not good to her stepson and stepdaughter. R1152
