The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 228 Negotiations
Cui Hengyue didn't answer, but the anger on his face was gradually disappearing.

This attitude says it all.

Cui Quan thought he had seen through Cui Hengyue, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Since you are back, let's live a good life, your grandmother, your uncle and I will love you.

"You said, what compensation do you want before you are willing to suppress this matter?"

Cui Hengyue made a thoughtful expression, and after a long while, she looked up at Cui Quan and said, "The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, I heard that there will be a Mid-Autumn Festival feast in the palace, and there will be dignitaries attending.

"I hope that my grandfather can announce to everyone in front of me at the Mid-Autumn Festival feast that the eldest daughter of the third wife of the Yasukuni Mansion has returned.

"Also, the ranking of the young ladies in the mansion has to be changed, I am Yuan Niang."

As soon as these words were spoken, they were met with opposition.

"No."

Cui Hengyue looked at Mrs. Cui, and said in a calm tone, "Why not?"

Mrs. Cui said angrily: "You are the eldest daughter of the third wife. We will recognize your identity, but you cannot go to the Mid-Autumn Festival feast."

"Why can't I participate?" Cui Hengyue pressed her every step of the way.

"You..." Mrs. Cui suddenly stopped, but she quickly explained the reason: "You grew up in Yunxuan Temple, and you don't understand court etiquette. If you lose your manners in front of the Queen Mother and Your Majesty, it will implicate the entire Cui family."

Cui Hengyue noticed Mrs. Cui's short pause, but she didn't tell the real reason.

"You don't have to worry about this grandmother. Before returning to the mansion, I asked the king of Chu to teach me court etiquette. I will never embarrass the Duke Jing's mansion."

Madam Cui choked.

At this time, Cui Quan interjected: "You can go to the Mid-Autumn Festival feast, and I will announce your identity in public.

"As for the ranking of the young ladies in the mansion, you can change it, but you can't be Yuan Niang.

"Let's do this. I'll give you an order right away and ask the people in the mansion to change their minds. You are the second mother. Everyone else will push back."

Cui Hengyue's face darkened: "No, I don't agree."

Seeing her refusal to cooperate, Mrs. Cui was furious, and slammed the table again: "Cui Hengyue, you have to agree if you don't agree.

"Yuan Niang is dead, I won't allow you to take her place."

"Grab it? Hehe!"

Cui Hengyue let out a sneer: "The Yuan Niang you are talking about is the fourth uncle's daughter, right?
"She was born on the eighth day of the seventh lunar month, and I was born on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. Anyone who is Yuan Niang will know, right?"

I don't know what Cui Hengyue's words stimulated Mrs. Cui, she became very excited, and rushed up to hit Cui Hengyue: "Evil—"

It's a pity that Cui Hengyue turned slightly sideways, and Mrs. Cui's slap missed.

Her actions angered Mrs. Cui again.

"evil creature--"

Mrs. Cui cursed, but she didn't do anything to Cui Hengyue again, but she looked very scary because of her angry expression.

"It's very pitiful for Yuan Niang to die so early, but you still want to take her place, it's just madness."

Cui Hengyue laughed again: "Poor? Desperate?

"My elder brother was born well, but died for no reason. He has been in this world, but he can't be listed in the genealogy, and there is no ranking, as if there is no such person as my elder brother in the world.

"The Yuan Niang you mentioned died as young as my brother, but she has been listed in the family tree, has a ranking, and enjoys the respected status of the Yasukuni Mansion.

"You tell me, who is pitiful? Who is insane?"

"You..." Mrs. Cui was so angry that she couldn't speak, her hands were shaking uncontrollably.

Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Cui quietly looked away when they saw her change.

Cui Quan said again: "Is this necessary? Can't you take a step back?"

Cui Hengyue straightened her back and looked straight at Cui Quan: "No, if my grandfather can't even agree to these two requests, or you want to do something to me.

"I guarantee that the good deeds my father has done will spread throughout the entire capital, and even throughout the Northern Han Dynasty."

Hearing this, Cui Yongxuan panicked immediately, and hurriedly asked Cui Quan for help: "Father."

"Shut up." Cui Quan became irritable when he heard the third son's voice, and wished someone could beat him out.

You bastard, let him get into trouble.

With a straight face, Cui Quan suddenly released coercion, staring at Cui Hengyue firmly: "I'll give you one last chance, can you take a step back?"

"No." Cui Hengyue looked straight at the past without any fear.

The negotiations suddenly reached a deadlock.

Cui Hengyue didn't change her face, but she was thinking in her heart: She wanted to take the opportunity to let Cui Quan write her brother's name on the family tree, but now it seems that this matter can be slowly advanced.

What she should think about now is why Cui Quan and Mrs. Cui are so obsessed with letting Cui Si's daughter be the mother of this generation?

She could understand that Cui Quan cared, after all, Cui Si was his own son.

But Mrs. Cui's insistence is a bit strange. Cui Si is a concubine, and his daughter occupies the position of Yuan Niang, and letting the eldest daughter of the big house take the second place is not like what Mrs. Cui would do.

Cui Hengyue felt that this matter was very strange.

After an unknown amount of time, Cui Quan finally said, "I'll talk about this later, you're tired from traveling, go down and rest first, and see the rest of the family tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Cui Quan looked at Mrs. Cui and said, "Mrs. Xie, go to the third bedroom and choose a yard for her to settle down first."

"Yes, father."

Mrs. Cui took the errand and walked up to Cui Hengyue: "Ah Heng, let's go."

Cui Hengyue saluted and withdrew, the etiquette was beyond fault.

After they left, Cui Quan ordered: "The boss, the second child, and the third child stay here, and everyone else should step down."

Mrs. Cui Er said "yes" very straightforwardly, and she bowed out.

Cui Yongjiang showed unwillingness, but he didn't dare to disobey his father's order, and reluctantly left the room.

"Tell me, how to deal with this matter?"

Cui Quan picked up the teacup and took a big sip, the restlessness in his heart subsided a little.

The three sons did not speak, Qi Qi looked at their mother.

Mrs. Cui showed a fierce look on her face, and said fiercely: "Master, since His Majesty ascended the throne, when have we ever been so angry?
"A little girl dares to threaten us, so it's better not to do anything."

Mrs. Cui didn't say what happened next, but everyone present knew it well.

Cui Yongxuan took a peek at his father's face, and said awkwardly: "Is this not good? After all, she is also my daughter."

"Whoever threatens the Cui family, no matter who she is, deserve to die!" Mrs. Cui said coldly.

Cui Yongxuan shrank back in fright and dared not speak any more.

Cui Quan gave him a disgusted look, then turned to his second son: "What do you think we should do?"

"I've never had any ideas. I'll do what my father tells me." Cui Yonglang said.

So, Cui Quan looked at his eldest son again: "Tell me."

Cui Yongzong thought for a while: "The news of Cui Hengyue's return to Beijing has already been known to many people in the city.

"Furthermore, the King of Changshan County admitted that Cui Hengyue was his savior in front of the common people, and he also said that he would come to the door in person to thank him tomorrow, and that he could not do anything to Cui Hengyue at this time.

"Not only can't do anything to her, but we have to take good care of her and show our attitude.

"In my opinion, it's better to let mother go to the palace first, and talk to the queen mother."

When Mrs. Cui heard this, she felt something was wrong with what her eldest son said: "Boss, what do you mean? Are you going to follow that stinky girl?"

Cui Yongzong's attitude was respectful: "Mother, this is the most appropriate way at present, you don't want to see the third child being cast aside?"

"." Mrs. Cui was at a loss for words.

Cui Quan looked at her: "Okay, just do what the boss said, you pack up and go to the palace now."
