It has been two days without any news of her, so she should be eager to know the results of the investigation, but why did she disappear without a trace
What happened to that stupid girl with a straight personality
Just as that thought flashed through my mind, a fierce fist suddenly hit Chai Zhexia Junyi's face.
Ju Susheng thought that Chai Zhexia's martial arts would be able to easily dodge, but who knew that he would not dodge and dodge, and received a solid punch.
"Uh..." A bang sounded, both Chai Zhexia and Ju Susheng were equally shocked.
The four eyes were facing each other, but Ju Susheng first came back to his senses, closed his fists, and asked with some disbelief. "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine!" Facing the friend's question, Chai Zhexia quickly shook her head. The denial was quick and hasty, and it was easy for people to see the flaw.
Ju Susheng didn't believe his friend's words at all. He was a person who couldn't hide his thoughts. He didn't have the calmness of another friend, the eldest grandson Chengyin, and he didn't have his palace. As long as something happened in his heart, he would be seen by others. be clear.
Taking the towel handed by the maid, Ju Susheng gracefully wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"If you're fine, the punch just now can't hit you, so why are you deceiving yourself like this?"
Chai Zhexia's kung fu has always been the best among the three of them. Even if she is not in the realm of perfection, it is impossible for her to hit him so easily.
Chai Zhexia, who has always been fascinated by martial arts, would be fascinated during the duel practice, and the reason is worth pondering.
"I'm really fine!"
Avoiding looking at her friend's scrutinizing eyes, Chai Zhexia naturally couldn't say that she was fascinated because she thought of that stupid girl Cui Miaohe.
There has been no news in the past two days, and it is uneasy to see the truth, especially when he knows that the reason why Mrs. Cui is so anxious to marry Cui Miaohe is all because of the greed of dowry, so that her parents and Cui's family can tide over the difficulties, he is even more worried. .
"I heard that the Cui family seems to be anxious to organize a wedding in the past two days." Ju Susheng said coldly.
The housekeeper of Cui's house not only bought ready-made wedding dresses at his shop these two days, but also bought a lot of things for marriage.
In fact, he said this on purpose. The incident in Yingliu Pavilion that day had already spread all over the streets and alleys. With his understanding of Chai Zhexia, he was not a person who saw injustice and drew his sword to help. And that time he actually appeared in the muddy water, obviously there must be something he didn't know.
"What did you say?" Hearing this, Chai Zhexia's heart was anxious, her palms already grabbed Ju Susheng's collar, and she asked anxiously.
He glanced at his friend angrily, and said that it was all right. If it was all right, could his understatement be able to provoke such a big reaction
Ju Susheng shook his head, facing such an excited Chai Zhexia, he could only speak quickly before he was strangled to death. "I said that the Cui family seems to be in a hurry to buy some things for the girl's family to get married these days."
"Who in the Cui family wants to get married?" Chai Zhexia couldn't care about her dignity at all, she asked anxiously, and a bad premonition followed in her heart.
"The elders are orderly, and the one who wants to get married is of course the eldest Miss Cui Family!"
He was so excited just knowing that Cui Miaohe was going to worship with others. If he knew who she was going to marry, he would be so angry that he wanted to kill!
Realizing this, Ju Susheng quickly broke free from his friend's box, and moved back quietly. Although he likes watching dramas, he doesn't like to see the point of losing his life.
"Who do you marry?" Chai Zhexia asked with a frown.
Recently, there have been rumors of Cui Miaohe staying in Hualou overnight in the streets and alleys. He doesn't think there will be any serious big family who will disregard public opinion and come to discuss the relationship.
"Outside the soldiers in the west of the city." Ju Susheng first looked around and listened to all directions, and then gave the answer.
"Damn it!" Chai Zhexia's face became darker and darker, and she cursed in a low voice.
Wu Laotou, that old Buxiu, has already passed the age of knowing the destiny, and has countless people who are his wife and concubines, and he even dares to touch Cui Miaohe who is in the Mood for Love!
"Are those people in the Cui family really so shameless?"
To marry a dignified eldest lady as a concubine to such a family is simply humiliating.
Thinking that Mrs. Cui was really in a hurry by money, she would do such outrageous things over and over again.
It would be fine if he didn't know about it. Now that he knew it, how could he just sit back and watch. A kind-hearted girl like Cui Miaohe shouldn't be spoiled like this.
Looking at Chai Zhexia's suddenly gloomy expression, Ju Susheng was very sure that he was moved, and this heart was not just because of his mother's forced marriage.
Otherwise, there are so many pictures of ladies like a mountain, why should he be so anxious for a Cui Miaohe
After thinking about this level, a smile of watching the show suddenly appeared on his face.
He wanted to see how Chai Zhexia was going to snatch back his bride this time. Not only did this good show have to be watched carefully, but it had to be watched carefully. After all, the opportunity was rare!
Looking through the flower hall with the strong aroma of tea, Chai Muxiu comfortably eats the small snacks that his beloved wife feeds.
"My beloved wife!" Chai Muxiu called out softly, and immediately received a sweet smile and gaze from his sweet wife. "Master, what's the matter?" Ruan Guilin asked softly after feeding him another mouthful of sweet but not greasy lotus cake. "I said you weren't in a hurry for Zhang Luo's son's marriage a while ago. How is it going now?" In fact, at his age, how could he not be in a hurry when it comes to hugging his grandson, but as a majestic old general, How can Han Yi's idea of having a grandson be exposed to the outside world
Anyway, that kid Zhexia is not afraid of heaven and earth, and only his hot-tempered lady can control it.
"When you talk about that kid, you're going to get angry!" Ruan Guilin suddenly sank when he heard the master's question, and muttered. "There were so many girls for him to choose, but whoever he didn't choose, actually chose a girl from the Cui family, which caused a lot of gossip."
Originally, Miss Cui suddenly came to visit that day, and she was also very happy, thinking that there would always be a slant on the character. After all, the girl from the Cui family is not only smart, but also looks smart. If such a girl is matched with her stupid son, she must be Made in heaven.
But who knows that the girl has recently become one of the protagonists of the people talking about right and wrong. Not only did she enter the brothel privately and have a close relationship with the courtesans, she even stayed in the brothel for the night.
Although the creators of the two were their own sons, their affection for Cui Miaohe was abruptly discounted.
"It's such a pity that a young girl's family does not obey the rules of etiquette." Ruan Guilin sighed, obviously really feeling a pity.
"Do you really think she's an unruly girl?"
He had seen Miss Cui once, but he couldn't see anything wrong, because the first impression was very good, so he didn't fully believe the rumors in the market.
This matter is only a partial generalization of the wife.
But I can't blame her for that. After all, she was born in October of her pregnancy. Although she usually yells and screams, who would be willing to give her son a grievance
"I... Isn't there no wind and no waves?" Ruan Guilin was stunned when asked by the master, and only replied after a long while.
"But I always find this to be a little weird."
Is there any mother in this world who would go to that kind of fireworks place to find her daughter
"It doesn't matter if he is weird or not, anyway, I don't want my daughter-in-law to be contaminated with right and wrong before entering the door." Because of the misunderstanding, Ruan Guilin's original goodwill towards Cui Miaohe had already disappeared. Fortunately, her son was not tempted, she endured Can't stop thinking happily.
Only then did Ruan Guilin's heart settle down, and suddenly there was a bang in his ear, and the door was suddenly opened by Renrui.
Seeing how the door panels were flying around, Chai Muxiu's eyelids jumped suddenly, and his son's face sank, and his heart sank.
What happened to this kid
Although his son's anger is usually not small, he, as a father, can somehow feel his son's urgency and anger at this time, which is different from normal.
But he hadn't figured out what was going on, and his hot-tempered wife had already jumped up first.
"Don't you know that doors are for pushing?"
Even if their family has Jinshan, Yinshan, and some silver that can change the door, they don't have to show up in such a shocking way every time!
"I want to get married!" Chai Zhexia said coldly to her mother.
This earth-shattering sentence, as expected, successfully blocked the mother's string of rants.
"What, what did you say?!" Ruan Guilin, who was always eloquent and eloquent, stuttered.
"I said I want to get married, immediately."
At that time, he believed too much that he had come forward. Liang Yuxia should not have the courage to plan against Cui Miaohe in such a short period of time, but she did not expect that she would dare to hurt her again and again.
Thinking of this, a flash of anger flashed in his deep eyes. If the Cui family can't protect Cui Miaohe, then he will do it.
"Immediately?!" Ruan Guilin was furious. Could this kid be buying something as a marriage
"I don't care what kind of stimulation you have, you want to get married, but you want to get married immediately, where do you want your mother to find a bride for you? It's not that you don't know how to get married and what to buy. , even if it is simpler, it will take half a year to plan.”
"I already have a bride. As for the rest, our family has money." Money can make a ghost run the mill, he doesn't believe that anything can't be done.
He had to use the fastest speed to put Cui Miaohe safely under his wings, and never allow others to frame him again.
Seeing her son's sworn expression, she was stunned again, and took a while to speak. "Then who are you going to marry?"
"Cui Miaohe!"
If she had heard her son say this in the past, Ruan Guilin would have jumped up happily, but now she couldn't squeeze out a smile, her face was deep, she said sternly. "I'm not allowed!"
"Why not?" Mother found the portrait, and now that he has made a decision, mother is not allowed, is it possible that he is asking for him
"That girl has a bad reputation and is very close to the flower girls. We are a big family, and you are the emperor's close minister. How can you welcome such a daughter-in-law."
When she heard what her mother said, Chai Zhexia's face darkened. It turned out that this was the reason why the Cui family was anxious to send Cui Miaohe to the Wu family.
Because the big families in the capital were afraid that they would not want to marry Cui Miaohe as their wife, Liang Yuxia sold her in a way that the highest bidder would get her.
"She was framed." Staring at her mother, Chai Zhexia coldly pleaded for Cui Miaohe.
"How do you know that she was framed?" Ruan Guilin asked with a stern look. She was regretting giving Cui Miaohe's portrait to her son for selection. With a face that seems to be unnegotiable, she can't help but secretly scream in her heart.
Besides, even if it's true as the husband said, there are other secrets in this matter, then she has to wait for her to figure out the secrets. How could she possibly agree to get married like this without thinking.
"So you don't want to help me deal with this?" Seeing the persistence in her mother's eyes, Chai Zhexia became impatient and asked straight to the point.
"right!"
She doesn't want that kind of daughter-in-law. She doesn't want to be pointed at when she goes out, and she will become the target of ridicule after dinner.
"Then... Okay!" Chai Zhexia bowed her head to her mother and turned away.
Since his mother refused, he wouldn't force it. He was no longer a baby, and he could do many things by himself.
Anyway, he had already repaired a book, and asked him to send it to Zhejiang to give it to Master Cui. He didn't believe that Master Cui could really watch his daughter marry an old woman like a soldier.
So it doesn't matter if his mother does it for him or not, as long as there is money, are you afraid that it won't make a beautiful marriage
Ruan Guilin thought that his son would be furious, or argue with her, but he did not expect that he would accept it so easily.
But... do you really accept it
Looking at her son's firm and upright figure, she didn't really believe that his son would give in so easily, and an ominous premonition flashed in her heart, so she hurriedly asked. "What do you mean by that sound?"
"Since the mother doesn't help me deal with it, the boy has to deal with it by himself." Chai Zhexia paused and replied without turning her head.
"What do you want to do with it?"
"Grab a relative!" Knowing that Cui Miaohe's situation was definitely imminent, Chai Zhexia didn't bother to resort to detours.
Grab is the most direct, and he is best at it. Cui Mingyuan is best to come back in time. Even if he really can't come back, he will use grab.
"You are crazy!"
Hearing this, Ruan Guilin took a deep breath and couldn't imagine how she would take a step forward from Chai Mansion if such a thing really happened.
"It's the mother who refused to help the child." The tone was so innocent, anyway, it was absolutely impossible for him to watch Cui Miaohe being abused like this.
"you… "
Ruan Guilin wanted to say more, but Chai Muxiu grabbed his wife's hand and prevented her from saying any more.
"What are you doing to pull me, sir? I'm going to scold your dazed son." She read her husband a few words unhappily. Who knows if she turns around again, except for the wreckage of the door, where is the son's son? silhouette.
"Madam, do you think our son is a fool?" Chai Muxiu asked coldly to his angry wife.
She replied without thinking. "How could our son be a fool? He is a great general at a young age, and he has made many contributions to the dynasty. If he is stupid, how many smart people are there in this world."
"Since that's the case, shall we try to trust his vision this time?"
"But..." Although her husband had already said something, she still didn't think that a woman with a corrupt reputation could be worthy of a son, but compared to her previous attitude, she was a little hesitant.
"My son is stubborn when he urinates. If you are so tough, he won't make trouble with you. Instead of this, let's just sit on the sidelines for a while. Maybe the rumors in the market are not credible."
"Is this all right?" Chai Muxiu has always loved his wife, and has not been involved in many decisions she made, but this time she opened her mouth, and she was somewhat concerned, "But it's a kiss!"
If this really happened, I'm afraid it's not only a sensation in the dynasty, but also it!
Ruan Guilin felt a headache just thinking about the consequences. Because of this, she didn't like her before her daughter-in-law entered the door.
In order to be afraid of falling into the truth, even if she hates her in her heart, she has to do what she should do. Therefore, when the eldest Cui family got married, the things she ordered were, in addition to the dowry, the rest of the wedding dress, rouge, multicolored brocade, etc. , Liang Yuxia bought the best.
The news that Cui Miaohe was going to marry could not be kept secret, and the news naturally reached the ears of Che Yuanyu and Ji Junyin, and the two hurried to pick it up.
Because they are both distant relatives of the Cui family and close friends of Cui Miaohe and Runzhong, Liang Yuxia was reluctant to let them in in order to be afraid of unforeseen circumstances. , said that she was coming to pay back the money, but she still let people in because of the money.
But she is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Although she is allowed to meet people, there are still many guards around the small building that clearly sees Cui Miaohe, so that they have no intention of taking people away.
During this battle, Che Yuanyu and Ji Junyin couldn't help but look at each other, unable to say a word for a long time, they could only walk into Cui Miaohe's pavilion with the maid who was leading the way with a secret anger.
"Miss is inside, you have to move faster. Madam explained that our lady will be leaving the cabinet in two days, but she is still unwell, and it is not suitable for long-term reminiscence. I hope the two ladies will not disturb the young lady's mood too much." Huanhuan stopped at the door, then turned to the two guests, and said, with a strong warning.
"Huanhuan, isn't the one locked inside your master?" Ji Junyin spoke with disdain seeing Huanhuan's back against his master.
Huanhuan has followed Miaohe to their parties countless times, and she naturally knows that Miaohe has never regarded Huanhuan as a slave, but now that she has been betrayed like this, she feels injustice for Miaohe when she wants to come.
"The slave's master is the entire Cui family. What's good for the Cui family, slaves naturally know."
"You... you are so good at begging for the Lord's honor, but I have seen it today."
Hearing Huanhuan's words, Ji Junyin, who has always been calm and self-controlled, couldn't help but get furious, stepped forward, raised her hand and slapped her involuntarily.
"This slap should be slapped for Miaohe. It is considered to interrupt your master-servant relationship. If something happens to him, don't come back to ask Miaohe."
These cold words made Huanhuan's face turn blue and white, but despite this, she straightened her back and said stubbornly. "The two young ladies have time to teach the servants a lesson here. Why don't you go in and persuade the master to eat more food. The tossing of the past few days has made the young lady almost unsteady. She is so sick." After the soldiers are happy, the days to come will be hard." After speaking, she opened the door for the two of them, and stood by the door.
Seeing this, the two were disappointed with Huanhuan, but they didn't say anything more. They could only sigh that everyone had their own aspirations. From their point of view, if Liang Yuxia could betray her stepdaughter like this, it's a matter of course. Maid, how can you possibly get any kind of good treatment
This girl's desire to be a seller and seek glory will eventually be in vain.
That's all, the road is chosen by the person. Since she chose this road, what else can they say
After sighing lightly one after another, the two entered the door together, and when they looked at the figure on the couch, they burst into tears.
They hurried to the side of the couch, only to see Cui Miaohe, who was disturbed by nightmares, struggling uncomfortably in the quilt.
She, who has not had a drop of water for three days, is not stable even when she is beaten.
But in just three days, her originally plump and pleasant face had been sunken, and her graceful figure had become a little slender, not to mention the paleness of her face.
"hateful!"
That Liang Yuxia was so cruel, she tortured people like this when she saw that Miao He's father was not there!
At this moment, Cui Miaohe's eyes burst into two lines of clear tears without warning. Ji Junyin immediately reached out and shook her cold hand, trying to save her from the nightmare.
"Miaohe, wake up, wake up..."
After a few soft calls, Cui Miaohe's originally closed eyes slowly opened.
At first, she was still a little confused, and she couldn't tell who was coming, and it was hard to see the faces of Che Yuanyu and Ji Junyin.
"Sisters..." Cui Miaohe snorted softly, but after many days of helplessness and tossing, she burst into tears before she could utter a word, so she couldn't speak.
"Come on, stop crying, let's drink some water first!"
Ji Junyin hurriedly poured water, wanting to moisten her thirsty throat, but Cui Miaohe shook her head. She didn't dare to enter half a drop of food and tea belonging to the Cui family, so she was afraid of saying it again.
"Why don't you drink water?"
"I don't want to be sent to the bed outside the soldiers in a drowsy manner." Cui Miaohe said with a wry smile.
Although the people who have served her have changed a long time ago, if she can betray even her relatives like Huanhuan, then in this huge Cui family, who else would she dare to trust
Therefore, these few days, she did not drink a drop of water or enter a grain of rice, so she quickly became weak and haggard.
"You mean... there's something wrong with this water?!"
Ji Junyin has always been a smart person, Cui Miaowei's self-deprecating sentence made her figure out the joints, and her face suddenly sank, she never thought that Liang Yuxia would dare to be so reckless.
"Damn, I'll go back to my father now, and let him take care of this." Since he was in love with his sister, how could Ji Junyin watch his sister suffer, so he was about to spin out angrily.
"etc!"
Che Yuanyu and Cui Miaohe stopped at the same time, preventing Ji Junyin from leaving impulsively.
"What are you waiting for, Miaohe's situation is so difficult right now. If we don't help her, who else can help her?" Ji Junyin frowned and said to Che Yuanyu, who was blocking the exit.
"You can go back to your father for help, but the problem is that Mrs. Cui only needs to tell your father that this is a housework, and who can justly stop her from marrying Miao He?"
That's the truth, not to mention that Mr. Cui has also been sent to Zhejiang by the emperor, and the far water can't save the near fire, so if they follow what Ji Junyin said, they will definitely not be able to get a bargain.
"Then what should we do? We can't let Miao He marry that old non-cultivator of the Wu family, right?"
When she is so old, she still wants to touch a young and beautiful girl like Miao He, which makes people grit their teeth with anger.
"Don't worry!"
Although Che Yuanyu was also very angry about what Liang Yuxia did, but she came here today to see if Miao He was okay, another purpose was to confirm her intentions.
"How can I not be in a hurry, in two days, Miao He will be married into the Wu family. Once this sedan chair is carried in, her life will be ruined."
She has always regarded Miao He as her own younger sister, but now seeing her suffering, Ji Junyin is naturally anxious, wishing that she had the divine power to transform Miao He out of Cui Mansion, so as not to be buried for life.
"I said no rush because I want you to calm down and listen to me slowly. Maybe someone can help us save Miaohe."
"Who?" Ji Junyin hurriedly asked after hearing that someone could help.
However, Che Yuanyu didn't smile, and turned to Cui Miaohe, who was weak and half-reliant on the couch, and asked. "Miaohe sister knows General Chai, right?"
"I know." Cui Miaohe led the head slightly, and Chai Zhexia's heroic face appeared in his mind.
Everyone said that Chai Zhexia had a violent personality and a tendency to cut sleeves, but after getting along a few times, she felt that although his temper was a bit scary, he never hurt her.
Even if he is not a modest gentleman, he is also an upright person.
If she had known that Chai Zhexia was such a person, perhaps she would not have been in such a predicament if Liang Yuxia was allowed to forcibly marry her into the Chai family.
"Would you be willing to marry Chai Zhexia in addition to being a soldier?"
Che Yuanyu asked this question because Chai Zhexia, who had always looked unpleasant to her that day, suddenly came to visit and asked her if she would like to help him so as to save Cui Miaohe from marrying as a concubine.
Only then did she know that the two of them had already had Guan Zhen long ago. If she asked her, it would be better to marry Chai Zhexia than a soldier, but what Chai Zhexia wanted to do was shocking. Since she is not herself, it is natural to ask Cui Miaohe what she meant.
"I..." Facing Che Yuanyu's question, Cui Miaohe suddenly remembered what he said that day when he said he wanted to marry her, her pale face suddenly turned red, and her little daughter's shyness was revealed, but when she thought of her stepmother's Greed and unscrupulous, her spring heart suddenly stopped, "Sister, because of her stepmother's deliberate actions, my sister has long since become a corrupt woman in the mouths of the street people. How can I be worthy of firewood like this? A proud man like a general?" She didn't want to implicate him.
"When your sister sees your eyebrows, she doesn't hate him. You and him..." "General Chai is a good person. He has helped his sister a few times, and she is naturally grateful to him." "Then you like it. him?" "I..."
Like it? In fact, she is not sure, but it is undeniable that he has been under house arrest for the past few days, and his figure will appear in her mind from time to time.
There is a faint longing in his heart, and even in a few midnight dreams, he dreamed that he was like a god of death, and rescued her from many dangers. Does that mean you like it
"Chai Zhexia said, if you are willing, he will come to rescue you when the Cui family sedan chair leaves, but this will ruin your reputation. Apart from him, you will have no good match in this life. , would you like that?"
In fact, just when Chai Zhexia took so much trouble to ask her to ask Miao He about this, her impression of him Lu Man had already changed completely.
For a man like him, if he decides to do something, he never needs the approval of others, but he is willing to ask her to get an answer from Miaohe, so she just looks at this, and she thinks that Miaohe It's time to choose him.
Hearing Che Yuanyu's words in his ears, Cui Miaohe stared at her blankly, and after a long while, he asked. "Can I... see him?"
Although there are people guarding outside the small pavilion, she believes that with Chai Zhexia's skills, it should not be difficult to enter without knowing it.
For some things, she had to ask him personally, otherwise it would be really difficult for her to decide.
"Okay, I'll let him come see you."
And it's going to be faster. This time, she didn't know that she couldn't bring in some food and water, but she knew that if Miaohe went on such a hunger strike, she might not be able to hold it, so even if Miaohe didn't say it, she I will also ask Chai Zhexia to send some food and drinking water in, otherwise Miaohe would have died before she escaped!
