The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 296 Rejection
Jinglan Court.

Cui Hengyue lay on the rocking chair in the corridor, staring at the big tree in the courtyard in a daze.

"Yuan Niang—"

Shui Fu walked over lightly and called softly. After receiving Cui Hengyue's response, she began to report: "Yuanniang, the things have been delivered to each room. According to your instructions, no one has been left behind."

"Well, very good." Cui Hengyue replied softly without moving her eyes.

Shui Fu said again: "Yuanniang, the third master sent someone here, please go to the main courtyard now."

Cui Hengyue's expression froze, and her tone was a bit cold: "I won't go."

Shui Fu opened her mouth to persuade her, but Shui Rong stopped her with her eyes, and pulled her away from the yard.

"Yuan Niang doesn't want to go, so don't force her." Shui Rong said.

Shui Fu: "After all, he is his biological father, so we can't make too much noise, otherwise it will damage Yuanniang's reputation if it spreads."

Shui Rong paused for a moment: "Let's forget it this time, Yuanniang's injury is still not healed."

Mentioning Cui Hengyue's injuries, Shui Fu stopped trying to persuade her: "Then you go back and serve Yuan Niang, and I'll send the third master's people away."

So Shuifu came to the gate of Jinglan Garden and said to Mingda: "Yuanniang is injured and cannot walk, please ask Mingda's guards to tell the third master, and after Yuanniang recovers from the injury, I will go to make amends to the third master. "

Ming Da couldn't refute, so he had to go back.

"What? She's not coming?"

Cui Yongxuan was so angry that his voice changed, but realizing that Balang was coming over for dinner at this hour, he quickly cleared his throat: "Ahem, since she is injured, it's fine if she doesn't come.

"You go and tell her that tomorrow you will take Siniang to the Zhen Guogong's mansion as guests."

Ming Da took the lead and left.

When Liu heard this, a glimmer of hope surged in her heart.

Especially not long after, Mingda came back and reported that "Yuanniang didn't say anything after listening to it", the hope in Liu's heart was even greater.

When the family had dinner, Mrs. Liu served Cui Yongxuan attentively, very tenderly.

But Cui Hengyue didn't have any appetite for the food on the table.

When Wutong arrived at Jinglanyuan, he happened to see Cui Hengyue ordering people to remove the meals.

"What's the matter? Yuan Niang didn't eat at all?" Wu Tong frowned as he looked at the unmoving meals.

Shui Fu sighed: "Oh, to be honest, after Yuan Niang came back from the palace, she lost her appetite and couldn't eat anything."

Wutong quietly wrote down, and walked towards Cui Hengyue.

"Yuan Niang."

Cui Hengyue heard the voice and looked over: "It's you, what did the auntie ask you to come here at this hour?"

Indus respectfully said: "Ma'am asked me to ask, have today's posts been in your hands?"

"Well, the third lady sent someone over here." Cui Hengyue said.

Wu Tong felt a little relieved, and continued to say: "There is one more thing, Da Furen asked me to tell you that Madam has agreed to set up a small kitchen in Jinglan Garden.

"Early tomorrow morning, Da Furen will send someone to Jinglan Garden. If there is no accident, you will be able to use the small kitchen when you come back from Zhen Guogong Mansion tomorrow."

So fast?
Cui Hengyue finally had a smile on his face: "Please help me tell my auntie, I am very grateful."

Seeing that she was in a happy mood, Wu Tong resigned and left.

Back in the main room, Wu Tong told Mrs. Cui Hengyue's reaction and Shui Fu's words: ". I didn't pay attention to it during the day, but I just took a closer look. Yuan Niang has lost a lot of weight in the past two days.

"I didn't eat much today, I was wondering if something bad happened to Yuan Niang in the palace?"

Mrs. Cui frowned lightly, said "I see" lightly, and let Wutong and the others back down.

She got up and walked to the window, looking at the moon in the sky, her eyes dim.

"The Queen Mother."
-
In the early morning of the next day, the owners of all the houses gathered in Fuhai Courtyard, waiting to greet Mrs. Cui.

Second Madam Cui quietly walked to Da Madam Cui, and asked in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, mother agrees that Yuanniang will set up a small kitchen in Jinglanyuan, what does that mean?
"Isn't the small kitchen only available to the headed wife? She is a little lady, why?"

Mrs. Cui didn't change her face, and said lightly: "My mother must have her intentions in doing this."

Mrs. Cui Er raised her eyebrows, and said tentatively: "You didn't hear the wind at all?"

"Ah..." Mrs. Cui turned her head and lowered her voice: "Actually, my mother told me about this matter yesterday. She said that Yuanniang was weak and it was not convenient to use the meals in the big kitchen, so she asked her to put it in the Jinglan Garden." Small kitchen."

Mrs. Cui Er raised her eyebrows even higher: "Do you believe this kind of thing?"

Who in the house doesn't know that the old lady doesn't want to see Yuan Niang?

Who would believe that the old lady cared about Yuanniang's body and granted her permission to set up a small kitchen in her yard?
Anyway, she didn't believe it.

Mrs. Cui: "Believe it or not, I can't change my mother's decision. Why don't you accept it?"

Mrs. Cui's expression froze.

This is true, the old lady is the master of the backyard, and no one can stop what she wants to do.

"But."

Mrs. Cui Er wanted to say more, but she saw Nanny You coming out of the room: "Masters, please come in."

Everyone entered the main room one by one to greet Madam Cui.

After saluting, Mrs. Cui said solemnly: "Today, I want to announce one thing, Yuan Niang has been weak since she was a child, and she needs to be taken care of carefully.

"So, from today onwards, Jinglan Court is licensed to set up a small kitchen, and I hope Yuanniang recovers soon."

Although everyone had heard about this matter, they were still shocked when they heard the old lady announce it with their own ears.

Facing everyone's envious or jealous gazes, Cui Hengyue slowly walked to the middle: "Thank you grandma, I will definitely not disappoint grandma."

Mrs. Cui showed a kind smile: "You are the eldest daughter of the Cui family, so it should be so, but."

When the topic changed, Mrs. Cui's smile remained unchanged: "When you first returned to the capital, you are not familiar with the major families, nor do you know their temperament. If you say something wrong or do something wrong, it will damage Cui's family. face.

"You are the eldest daughter of the Cui family, no matter where you are, you should protect the reputation of the Cui family at all times.

"Today, if you are going to be a guest at the Duke of Zhen's mansion, it is better to let the sisters at home accompany you, so that you can take care of me."

Still not giving up?

Cui Hengyue scanned the surroundings calmly, and found that the little lady in the mansion was jumping for joy, her eyes full of anticipation.

She scoffed coldly in her heart, and smiled slightly: "It's exactly what I wish to have sisters to accompany me."

Hearing this, everyone in the room showed joy, except Mrs. Cui.

Second Madam Cui couldn't wait to say: "Then let Sanniang accompany you. That day in the palace, Sanniang and Wu Wuniang enjoyed lanterns together. With her company, you will have more fun."

Cui Siniang couldn't help but stand up: "If you want to go, I should go, I am the elder sister's younger sister."

As soon as these words came out, the room fell silent instantly.

Cui Siniang suddenly realized that this remark was inappropriate, but before she could explain it, she heard Mrs. Cui's sneer.

"Oh, sister? Who here is not Yuanniang's sister?" Mrs. Cui Er sternly reprimanded mercilessly: "The Jingguo government has never separated the family, and the fifth house does not separate you and me. You say this because you are looking forward to it." Will the Yasukuni government split up soon?"

Cui Siniang was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she knelt on the ground with a "plop": "Grandma, I didn't mean that, I just..."

"All right."

Mrs. Cui's face was gloomy: "It's just that I said something wrong, so why should I be convicted of such a serious crime?"

eccentric.

Mrs. Cui Er lowered her eyes: "Mother is serious, I'm just telling the truth."

Mrs. Cui didn't look at her, she turned to Cui Hengyue: "Yuan Niang, who do you want to accompany you to Zhen Guogong's mansion?"

"I think all my younger sisters will accompany me." Cui Hengyue smiled, and changed the topic: "However, Wu Wuniang only invited me, if I take my sisters rashly, she might not be happy.

"Well, how about I send someone to the Zhen Guogong's mansion to talk to her first, and if she agrees, I'll take my sisters with me?"
