The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 256 Inquiry
Hearing that Cui Hengyue was coming, Mrs. Cui immediately put down what she was doing and went to the flower hall.

"Aheng, why are you here? Why don't you rest in the room for a while?"

Mrs. Cui sat down beside Cui Hengyue, seeing that her hand on her knee was pale and weak, she leaned over and took her hand.

"I'm fine." Cui Hengyue was still a little unaccustomed to being so close to people, and struggled subconsciously.

Mrs. Cui did not force her, let go of her hand, and told Xiuyun: "Go get a hand stove for Yuan Niang."

"Need not."

As soon as Cui Hengyue refused, Xiuyun had already left the room.

Mrs. Cui showed a kind smile, and said softly: "Your hand is so cold must be due to injury, don't feel embarrassed, it's not shameful to use a hand stove at this time."

"."

Cui Hengyue was a little ashamed, she didn't think so.

Mrs. Cui saw her silent, she just thought she was shy, and said to herself: "I heard from Hongdou that you dreamed of an assassin just now and came here because you felt scared.

"How about this, I'll change the yard for you, I'll talk to the old lady."

Change yard?
No.

Cui Hengyue quickly said: "Auntie, don't bother, I'll just take it easy."

"How can I do that?" Mrs. Cui said with a straight face, "You are the eldest daughter of the Cui family, so you should live in a comfortable place, since Jinglanyuan can't let you sleep peacefully, you can change the yard.

"It's not a big deal, just tell me which yard you like, and I'll arrange it."

Cui Hengyue was moved, but also ashamed.

She lowered her eyes to hide the turbulent emotions in it: "Auntie, I like Jinglan Garden very much. It is the yard that my mother once arranged for me. I will not change it."

Mrs. Cui's expression froze, how could she forget this?
"I've never encountered such a thing before. I was afraid, and I didn't recover for a while. Give me a little more time, and I won't be afraid."

Cui Hengyue raised her head and looked at Mrs. Cui with pleading eyes: "Auntie, I won't change the yard."

Looking at the little mole under Cui Hengyue's right eyebrow, Mrs. Cui's heart felt sore, and she couldn't help but soften her voice: "Okay, don't change, don't change."

Cui Hengyue smiled happily: "Thank you, auntie."

Seeing her smile, Mrs. Cui's mood also improved, and she ordered Wutong: "Bring those snacks and melons and fruits given by the palace yesterday to Yuanniang to taste, and bring those fun things too. .”

As soon as Wutong left, Erniang Cui ran in like a gust of wind: "Okay, Mommy, you actually ate delicious food with Elder Sister behind my back."

Cui Erniang pretended to be angry and stared at Mrs. Cui.

"You came here before the things were served, why did you carry your back?" Mrs. Cui pointed her forehead with her finger and said with a smile.

Cui Erniang turned her face away and let out a heavy "hum".

"Okay, stop making trouble, Xiuyun brought this hand stove, right?" Mrs. Cui pointed to the hand stove in her hand.

Cui Erniang did not answer Mrs. Cui's words, but walked up to Cui Hengyue, and handed the stove to her: "Sister, here you are."

Indus quickly brought over the things Mrs. Cui ordered, placed them on the table one by one, and then left the flower hall with the other servants.

Mrs. Cui introduced Cui Hengyue one by one, and warmly greeted her to eat.

Cui Erniang didn't speak, she just ate her food.

"It's delicious." Cui Erniang leaned back on the chair after she was full, and burped comfortably.

Mrs. Cui's face darkened instantly: "Er Niang, pay attention to your demeanor."

Cui Erniang straightened her body immediately, lowered her eyebrows and said, "I'm sorry, mother, I lost my temper just now."

Mrs. Cui wanted to punish her, but when she saw Cui Hengyue next to her, she dismissed the idea.

"Don't be an example." Mrs. Cui gave her daughter a warning.

"Yes, mother."

Cui Erniang raised her eyes and saw that Cui Hengyue was still eating, she couldn't help but said: "Eldest sister, why are you so good at eating?"

Cui Hengyue's hand holding the pastry froze in mid-air, she slowly lowered her head and looked at the table.

It's just five or six plates empty, is this considered edible?

"Uh, I didn't eat at noon." Cui Hengyue stuffed the cake in his hand into his mouth as if nothing had happened, and then took out his handkerchief to wipe his hands.

She can eat two more plates of fruit.

Seeing that Cui Hengyue stopped eating, Erniang Cui stood up and stretched out her hand to pull Cui Hengyue: "Let's go, let's go to the garden to enjoy the flowers, Auntie, what are you doing?"

Before her hand touched Cui Hengyue, she was waved away by her mother, and Cui Erniang was very angry.

Mrs. Cui said with a straight face: "When you enjoy the flowers, you should enjoy the flowers, don't talk about it."

Cui Erniang: "."

Why does this sound so awkward?
Cui Hengyue cast a grateful look at Mrs. Cui: "Auntie, then Erniang and I will go to enjoy the flowers."

"Go ahead and stay tonight"

Before Mrs. Cui could finish her words, Erniang Cui called out, "Okay, eldest sister will sleep with me tonight."

"Okay." Cui Hengyue agreed with a smile.

So, the two came to the garden together, strolled among the flowers, and chatted while admiring the flowers.

"Elder Sister, Auntie was here just now, so I don't have to ask, why did your neck hurt?" Cui Erniang pointed at Cui Hengyue's neck.

"This." Cui Hengyue raised her hand to caress her neck, her tone was slow, thinking whether she should tell the truth or not.

After all, Cui Quan had ordered not to reveal the assassin's affairs.

After thinking about it, Cui Hengyue finally decided to tell the truth, she ordered Shui Fu and others to stand down on the corridor, and then said to Cui Erniang:

"Last night, an assassin entered the mansion and almost hurt my grandfather. Later, when the guards were chasing the assassin, the assassin broke into Jinglan Garden in a panic and took me hostage."

"Ah—" Cui Erniang screamed, suddenly realized that the voice was too loud, covered her mouth again, and asked in a low voice, "Is grandfather okay?"

Cui Hengyue: "Grandfather was not injured, but the assassin used me to threaten grandfather and escaped. Grandfather was very angry and issued a death order. Anyone who leaks this matter will be severely punished."

Cui Erniang was shocked, no wonder her grandfather ordered people from all houses and courtyards not to go out, it turned out that assassins really entered the mansion.

"Sister, is your hand hurt too?"

Otherwise, her mother wouldn't have stopped her reckless behavior just now.

Cui Hengyue gave a soft "hmm": "It's just some skin trauma, and it will be cured after a few days of medicine."

After a pause, Cui Hengyue solemnly told Cui Erniang: "You must not tell this matter, otherwise if your grandfather finds out, you and I will suffer."

Cui Erniang knew the seriousness, and agreed: "Don't worry, elder sister, this is a secret between the two of us, and I won't tell it."

Perhaps it was because of Cui Hengyue's frank treatment, or maybe it was because of the secret between the two sisters, Cui Erniang became very close to Cui Hengyue, and dragged her into his room.

"Sister, tell me about the assassins in detail. I have never seen an assassin in my life. What do they look like?"

Looking at the curious Cui Erniang, Cui Hengyue couldn't help laughing: "The assassins are all masked, how do I know what they look like?
"However, they are very vicious. If you encounter such people in the future, you must take a detour."

After talking about the assassin, Cui Hengyue brought up Cui Yonglin: "By the way, when I came to Dafang just now, I met Fourth Uncle on the road.

"I heard that my fourth uncle was punished to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors, and he hasn't been out of the yard for ten years. What's going on?"
