The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 297
When Cui Hengyue finished her proposal, most people in the room thought her proposal was very good.

However, Mrs. Cui's face darkened, and she scolded in a low voice: "Presumptuous, where are you as the town's government? How can you just do whatever you say.

"Wu Wuniang invited you to be a guest at the mansion, she must have asked for the consent of Duke Zhen.

"Three generations of the Duke of Zhen's government have devoted their lives to the country and died in battle. Whether it is the ancestors, the late emperors, or His Majesty today, they all value the people of the Duke of Zhen's mansion.

"It's an honor for you to be allowed to be a guest at his residence, Duke Zhen, if you still think about those unreasonable demands, then you don't know what is good or bad.

"If you don't want to go, I'll send someone to Zhen Guogong's mansion to speak to Wu Wuniang.

"If you want to go, then go to the appointment honestly and don't ask for many things."

These words were very blunt, Cui Hengyue bowed her head in shame: "Auntie taught me a lesson, my niece is not thoughtful, almost embarrassing Cui Shi."

Everyone in the room came to their senses, their faces were very embarrassed, especially Mrs. Cui.

Mrs. Cui didn't seem to see the faces of everyone, she asked Mrs. Cui for instructions: "Mother, Cui's current situation cannot tolerate any mistakes. Although it is a relationship between young ladies, it is also a relationship between two houses There is no room for loss in human relations.

"How about letting Yuan Niang go to the appointment today, and wait until she comes back to talk about the future?"

Mrs. Cui was very angry at first, but after hearing these words, her anger disappeared.

"You still have to think carefully, so let's do it this way. You must not be rude..."

Mrs. Cui made an explanation, and she was no longer in the mood to chat with the crowd, so she asked them to retreat.

Cui Hengyue silently followed Mrs. Cui away, thinking about it.

From Mrs. Cui's words, we can know that although the Cui family looks very glamorous on the surface, the first family, relatives of the emperor, important officials of the court... any identity can be daunting, but it is not the case.

Cui Hengyue thought of a sentence: prosperity must decline.

Perhaps Cui Shi is facing such difficulties.

"Yuan Niang—"

Seeing that Cui Hengyue did not respond for a long time, Shui Fu secretly poked her with her elbow.

"What's wrong?" Cui Hengyue came back to her senses, and looked at Shui Fu suspiciously.

"Ma'am is going to ask Zeng Ming to escort you to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, what do you think?"

After Shui Fu relayed Mrs. Cui's words, she reminded Cui Hengyue: "Zeng Ming is the commander of the big house's guards, and also the uncle's confidant."

Cui Hengyue thought it didn't matter at first, but when she heard the words behind her, she suddenly felt vigilant.

She looked at Mrs. Cui: "Auntie, I just went to see Wu Wuniang at the Duke of Zhen's mansion. It would be too cautious to let Commander Zeng escort her, and it would be easy for the Duke of Zhen to misunderstand her.

"I think, just me, Shui Fu, and Shui Rong will go."

Seeing that Mrs. Cui frowned, Cui Hengyue explained: "Shuifu can drive a carriage."

Mrs. Cui: "You are the eldest daughter of the Cui family, how can you let your maid drive the carriage?
"Well, I'll arrange a driver for you, and the four of you will go."

Cui Hengyue hesitated for a moment and agreed.

Mrs. Cui and Cui Hengyue's group gradually moved away. Behind them, Cui Sanniang and others looked at Cui Hengyue angrily.

"At any rate, she is our elder sister, but she refused to agree to take us to Zhen Guogong's mansion, it is really heartless." Cui Sanniang said unceremoniously.

Cui Siniang unanimously agrees with her: "That's right, such a selfish person is not worthy of being our elder sister."

Suddenly, a voice interjected: "You are so angry because you want to see the son of Lord Zhen Guo, but you can't see him?"

Several people followed the prestige and saw that it was Cui Erniang, and felt a little relieved.

Cui Sanniang snorted coldly: "Don't you want to see him?"

"I think so!" Cui Erniang didn't deny it, "However, I won't be as brazen as you guys."

"Who are you scolding?" Cui Sanniang immediately became angry.

Cui Erniang glanced at her indifferently, left without saying anything.

Cui Sanniang became even more angry, and shouted at Cui Erniang's back: "You...you come back to me..."

Cui Erniang pretended not to hear, and caught up with Cui Hengyue in front.

"Sister, let me be your maid today."

Before Cui Hengyue could speak, Mrs. Cui, who was walking in the front, turned her head and stared at her: "You stay in the mansion honestly."

"..." Cui Erniang gradually lowered her head, feeling very disappointed.

Cui Hengyue couldn't bear it, and comforted her in a low voice: "I will ask Wu Wuniang out next time, you go with me."

"Okay!" Cui Erniang raised her head, the corners of her eyes and brows were filled with joy.

Although she won't be able to see Prince Zhen Guo, as long as she has a good relationship with Wu Wuniang, she will see Prince Zhen Guo sooner or later.

……

As soon as Cui Hengyue's carriage left the mansion, the spies hiding in the dark immediately passed the news back.

"drive--"

The carriage moved forward all the way, and came to the gate of Zhen Guogong's mansion unimpeded.

Shui Fu took the post to see the concierge: "My little lady is the first lady of the Duke Jing's mansion, and she was invited to visit the mansion."

The concierge took the post and looked at it carefully, and then said to a guard in front of the door: "Take them to the side door."

So the guard directed the coachman to enter the mansion through the side door.

"You wait for me here." Cui Hengyue said to the driver after getting off the carriage.

At this time, the maid Xifeng came over and said with a smile: "Cui Yuanniang, you are finally here. My little lady has been waiting for you for a long time, please follow me."

Xi Feng is Wu Chan's personal servant girl, and Xi Feng accompanied Wu Chan to the palace banquet on Mid-Autumn Festival.

Cui Hengyue nodded at her, and followed her to the backyard.

After a stick of incense, Xi Feng led Cui Hengyue and the three into a small courtyard with a pleasant view.

"Cui Yuanniang, my little lady is inside, you go in."

With that said, Xi Feng stepped aside and signaled Cui Hengyue to go in.

Cui Hengyue glanced at her, knowing that she would not go in, so she stepped into the courtyard.

"Oh!"

After walking a few steps, there was the sound of a door closing behind him.

Cui Hengyue looked back, but found that Xifeng was gone, and closed the courtyard door.

"Clap!"

The sound of locking was heard outside the door, Shui Fu was startled, and hurried to open the courtyard door, but found that the courtyard door had been locked and could not get out from inside.

"Yuanniang, they..."

In the middle of speaking, two guards suddenly jumped down from the roof, grabbed Shui Fu and Shui Rong and knocked them unconscious.

They moved very quickly, before Cui Hengyue could react, Shui Fu and Shui Rong were brought up to the roof by them, but after a while, the four of them disappeared.

Cui Hengyue was dumbfounded.

After reacting, Cui Hengyue jumped onto the roof.

However, just as she was about to chase the two guards, a man in uniform suddenly appeared on the roof.

Without saying a word, he drew out his long sword and stabbed at Cui Hengyue.

"what--"

Cui Hengyue screamed in fright, she stepped back subconsciously, the tile slipped from her feet, fell into the yard, and broke into pieces.

She stepped on the ground, fell backwards, and fell from the roof.

However, the man in military uniform did not give up his attack, and pursued him with a long sword...
