Qingtou learned everything about his uncle and the little Hu girl in less than half a day. On the way here, he couldn't wait to tell his master everything.
According to his exclusive information, Uncle Cui was afraid of delaying the youth of the Hu girl, so he sent her some gold and silver, hoping to cut off this accidental relationship. Unexpectedly, when he was recuperating in the county governor's mansion, he unexpectedly received a message from the Hu girl for help. A nobleman learned that she had served a high-ranking official of the Holy Dynasty, so he took a fancy to her and asked Ashina for her. The man had many wives and concubines under his command, and now he was greedy for something new. If he got tired of her in the future, she would be sent to someone else. She was unwilling to obey, and begged him to keep her for the sake of serving him for a year, and she was willing to be a slave. Uncle Cui really couldn't bear to see her fall into the fire pit again, so he had to shamelessly go to Ashina to ask for her. Ashina sent her over that night without saying a word. Now Uncle Cui returned to Chang'an, and naturally brought her back.
"I think it must be that your uncle couldn't bear to part with that Hu girl in the first place, but he sent her away reluctantly for the sake of his reputation. I'm afraid he must be worried and miserable every day. And this happened. Isn't it God's will? If he doesn't take her back, what kind of man is he?"
Anyway, he is favored by the mistress, so Qingtou is not afraid that his husband will blame him for being disrespectful to his elders. He makes the final decision and makes such a rash judgment.
As for Aunt Wang, she was greatly frightened when she heard the news that Cui Daosi was captured and surrendered to the enemy and became an official in the capital.
She and Cui Daosi were well matched in their early years, and the two families were married. Although she was born in a noble family, she was quite snobbish and pursued status and wealth. She also relied on the power of the Wang family to keep a close eye on her husband. Not to mention taking a concubine, she couldn't let go of the young maid in his study, and she was always trying to be the best at home. Cui Daosi was gentle and soft-hearted, and had a bit of the noble air of a scholar. He would occasionally feel sad about the passing of time, so the two naturally couldn't get along. After he became the head of the family, he no longer touched Wang. The two had separated long ago. In order to avoid Wang's quarrels, there was no concubine around him. They had been getting along for so many years, so how could there be any husband-and-wife relationship
When the news came, although the emperor did not punish him at that time, the power of the emperor was unpredictable. Wang was afraid of being implicated in the future. If it were not for the sake of face, she would have wanted to divorce him so that she and her son would be completely separated. So she frequently visited her relatives and tried every means to curry favor with the Empress Dowager and seek refuge in the Wang family. Soon, she simply packed up her belongings and took most of the valuables in Cui's mansion back to her parents' home in batches. She also forced her son to follow her and pave a new way for his future, making her son miserable. Last year, she found a small official position outside the capital and left. She was so angry that she scolded him for being unfilial and not knowing her hard work, and stayed in her parents' home, jumping up and down all the time.
Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed. Almost all the people in the Wang family were wiped out, and the mansions, property and land were all confiscated. If Wang had not retained her identity as the mistress of the Cui family, she would have almost been imprisoned. However, Cui Daosi, who was originally extremely unlucky, turned around and became a man of great merit. Now she is still in a family temple of the Wang family. She is too embarrassed to come back by herself. Not to mention that Cui Daosi brought back a maid, even if he brought back ten, she would not dare to get angry. No matter how regretful and resentful she was in her heart, she could only endure it. She only thought about how to humble herself and hoped that Cui Daosi would take her back first.
