The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 216 Can't Stay

In the eyes of the world, the Cui family has been scholarly for generations, humble and polite, loyal and benevolent, and can be regarded as a model of the family.

Even if Lord Jingguo fought with the royal family in the court hall, his face was red and his ears were red, and occasionally he did it, it was out of loyalty to His Majesty.

Therefore, when the rumor first came out, no one believed it, but after a long time, many people were shaken.

"Kneel down."

Cui Quan yelled.

As soon as Cui Yongxuan entered the study, he heard these two words and was at a loss: "Father, what did I do wrong?"

"You still have the face to ask?"

Cui Quan stared at his son with fire in his eyes: "Are you kneeling by yourself, or shall I ask someone to help you?"

Seeing the tall and mighty Bai Qi walking towards him, Cui Yongxuan immediately knelt down.

But he was very unconvinced, and looked up at Cui Quan: "Father, you want to punish me. I dare not refuse, but let me know why I was punished?"

"Rebel!"

Seeing that his son did not repent, Cui Quan cursed angrily.

"Okay, if you want to know, then I'll tell you."

Cui Quan forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said: "Let me ask you, six years ago, you told me that Mrs. Wang had died of illness, and her daughter had also died. Is this true?"

Cui Yongxuan's eyes flickered, but he still held his head up: "Of course it's true."

"Snapped!"

A teacup fell in front of Cui Yongxuan, and the flying fragments ran across Cui Yongxuan's cheek, leaving a bloodstain.

Cui Yongxuan raised his hand to touch his face, and when he saw the blood on his finger, he jumped up instantly: "Father, what are you doing? You actually hurt my face?"

Looking at Bai Qi again: "Hurry up and call the government doctor over here"

"Don't call."

Cui Quan stopped Bai Qi, and looked at his son angrily: "You bastard, you even dared to lie to me, and did such a shameless thing as stopping your wife and remarrying, why are you still protecting your face?"

Hearing the words "stop wives and marry another", Cui Yongxuan's body trembled, and he felt guilty immediately: "Father. I. I didn't."

His voice was very small, Cui Quan could tell at a glance that he was lying, and his anger grew even stronger.

Just when she was about to get angry, the graceful and luxurious old lady appeared at the door: "The third child is telling the truth."

Bai Qi quickly lowered his head and saluted: "I have seen the old lady."

"Go back."

After Mrs. Cui gave her orders, she went straight to Cui Yongxuan, first checked the wound on his face, saw that the wound was not deep, and felt at ease.

She took two steps forward and looked directly at Cui Quan: "Those outside are just rumors, how can the Duke believe it?

"Back then, Mrs. Wang lied to me about going to Zhuangzi to recuperate, but ended up taking the child to Yunxuan Temple on the way.

"This matter is wrong with Mrs. Wang, not to mention that I sent people to Yunxuan Temple six years ago, and the people in the temple personally said that Mrs. Wang had died of illness, and her child had also died of illness.

"She's dead, what's wrong with my son marrying another good wife?"

Cui Quan choked: "."

Cui Yongxuan was secretly delighted to see his father being refuted by his mother without words.

Unexpectedly, at the next moment, Cui Quan questioned: "Since you think that the third child did nothing wrong, why didn't you tell me that Jingzhao's governor sent someone to the mansion?
"He also issued a death order to keep me from knowing about this matter. If it's not a guilty conscience, what is it?"

Mrs. Cui was very calm: "The Duke is busy with official duties, how can he be bothered by such trivial things that are created out of nothing?
"I did this only for the sake of the Duke's health, and I don't want you to be too tired."

Speaking of this, she slowed down her tone and said softly: "You and I have been married for decades, how could I lie to you?

"If you don't believe me, you can send someone to Yunxuan Temple to see if what I said is true."

Cui Quan was shaken in his heart: "Wang and her daughter are really dead?"

"Dead." Mrs. Cui said firmly.

Cui Quan stared at her for a while, then waved at her.

Mrs. Cui immediately left the study with Cui Yongxuan.

"Come on."

Cui Quan yelled out.

Bai Qi walked in immediately: "What orders does the Duke have?"

Cui Quan: "You go to Jingzhao Mansion and tell the governor that if you have anything to do in the future, tell me directly, there is no need to send someone to the mansion.

"Also, go and deal with those rumors."

Doctor Cao, the doctor of the government, closed the medicine box and reported to Mrs. Cui: "The wound on the third master's face is not serious, and after a few days of applying the medicine, it will be back to normal."

Cui Yongxuan asked worriedly: "Will there be any scars?"

"No." Doctor Cao replied.

"Okay, you all go down."

Mrs. Cui dismissed all the servants in the house, and then scolded Cui Yongxuan with a straight face: "How many times have I told you before, you must act cautiously.

"If I hadn't helped you this time, your father would never have spared you."

Cui Yongxuan grinned and approached Mrs. Cui with a smile: "Mother, I know you love me the most, and you won't die."

"Let's talk less."

Mrs. Cui's anger subsided slightly, and her eyes became kindly: "There are no grounds, those rumors may not be rumors, otherwise no one would go to Jingzhao Mansion to file a complaint.

"Tell me honestly, did you send anyone to Yunxuan Temple six years ago?"

Cui Yongxuan put away his smile: "Of course."

"Who did you send? Call him here, and I will ask him carefully."

So, Cui Yongxuan asked Wei Jiang who was guarding outside to find someone.

Soon, Wei Jiang brought him over.

"is her?"

Seeing Mrs. Gui kneeling on the ground, Mrs. Cui's face suddenly changed.

Cui Yongxuan nodded: "Yes, that's her."

Mrs. Cui's face was very ugly.

Grandma Gui is Liu's confidant, and sending her to Yunxuan Temple made things not so simple.

"Head up."

Gui Pozi felt uneasy in her heart, and slowly raised her head.

Mrs. Cui stared at her face and asked, "When did Mrs. Wang die?"

Why did you suddenly ask about this?

Grandma Gui felt even more uneasy, but she didn't dare to think about it, and hurriedly replied: "Returning to the old lady, Mrs. Wang died six years ago."

"And what about her child?"

"He also died six years ago."

Mrs. Cui picked up the teacup next to her hand and threw it over: "Lie!"

The teacup hit her shoulder, Grandma Gui didn't care about the pain, and hurriedly caught the teacup with her hands: "Old lady, calm down, slave. I didn't lie."

"You still dare to lie?" Mrs. Cui was furious, and shouted loudly: "Come on, drag me out and beat you fifty."

Lady Du led someone in.

Grandma Gui trembled with fright, and hurriedly shouted: "Old lady, please calm down, slave, tell the truth, tell the truth!"

Cui Yongxuan was stunned.

She lied?

Mrs. Cui winked at Mrs. Du, and Mrs. Du left the room with someone.

"Speak, if there is another half-truth, I will never forgive you lightly."

Hearing this, Gui Pozi immediately explained the matter in detail: "Six years ago, the third master and the third wife sent me to Yunxuan Temple to inquire about the situation of the third lady.

"At that time, Mrs. Xian was seriously ill, but she hadn't died yet, and her daughter was still alive.

"But the third lady wants to become the mistress of the third bedroom as soon as possible, so she ordered me to tell the third master that the third lady and her daughter have passed away."

Cui Yongxuan said angrily: "This Liu Shi killed me."

With that said, he rushed out.

"The third one."

Mrs. Cui called him to stop, ordered Mrs. Gui to be locked up, and then said to Cui Yongxuan: "We will talk about Mrs. Liu's crimes later, the most urgent thing is to solve the rumors."

Cui Yongxuan blurted out: "I'll send people to arrest those tongue-twisters right now."

"That's not the most important thing."

Cui Yongxuan stopped and turned to look at his mother: "Then what is the most important thing?"

A hint of ferocity flashed in Mrs. Cui's eyes: "Ms. Wang must have died six years ago, not this spring.

"Those who know the real date of Wang's death cannot stay"
