The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 331 What Can I Do?

Cui Yongzong's calm made Mrs. Cui very uneasy, she asked Cui Yongxuan in a low voice: "Is that person really here? Are you sure?"

Out of trust in Wei Jiang, Cui Yongxuan replied confidently: "Don't worry, mother, I sent someone to investigate, and that person is here."

Seeing how confident her younger son was, Mrs. Cui's heart settled down, and she immediately went to the yard not far away, and ordered: "Search carefully for me, don't miss any corners."

"Yes."

With an order, all the people brought by Mrs. Cui and Cui Yongxuan's people were dispatched to search every place in the courtyard carefully.

However, after a stick of incense, those people came back one after another to report: "Old lady, third master, I didn't find it."

The smile on Cui Yongxuan's face suddenly froze: "...Impossible."

He looked at Wei Jiang.

Wei Jiang's face turned ashen, "Third Lord, I saw that person in this room with my own eyes, and I saw it right."

Having said that, his hand pointing at the room was slightly bent, obviously lacking confidence.

How is this going?

He obviously didn't see anyone coming out of the courtyard gate, so why did he disappear?
Before Cui Yongxuan got angry, Mrs. Cui had already reprimanded Wei Jiang angrily: "You acted rashly without investigating clearly, are you trying to kill the third child?"

"Old lady."

Wei Jiang knelt down in fright: "I really saw it, that person is in this room"

"Where's that person?" Mrs. Cui asked angrily.

In desperation, Wei Jiang blurted out: "They must have transferred the person."

Hearing this, Cui Yongxuan seemed to be woken up, and repeatedly echoed: "That's right, they must have moved, mother, it must be the eldest brother who moved people.

"However, that person must still be in the big room. Please order my mother to lead someone to search the big room."

Mrs. Cui paused, as if she was thinking about whether this suggestion was feasible.

Seeing that the situation is not good, Cui Yongzong came over: "Mother, we just agreed that if the person the third brother is looking for is not in this yard, the third brother will let me handle it."

Cui Yongxuan's face turned pale, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he hurriedly asked Mrs. Cui for help: "Mother."

Mrs. Cui's face was a bit ugly, but she couldn't watch her youngest son being humiliated.

So, Mrs. Cui showed a smile that she thought was kind but was forced, and said to her eldest son softly, "Ah Zong, the third child was just joking with you just now, how can you take it seriously?"

Sure enough, with the third master around, it must be the third master who the old lady is protecting.

Zeng Ming, Zhu Lin and others felt wronged for Cui Yongzong, but they dared not refute Mrs. Cui's words.

Cui Yongzong seemed to be used to this kind of situation, and the expression on his face didn't change at all: "Then the third brother said just now that he wanted to search the big house, was it also a joke?"

"when"

Cui Yongxuan wanted to say "Of course it's not a joke", but was held down by Mrs. Cui.

"Of course it's a joke. The third son has always respected you the elder brother the most. This time, he was so reckless because he was deceived by outsiders. Now that he knows the truth, he feels guilty. How could he search the big house?"

After Mrs. Cui said this, she poked Cui Yongxuan secretly: "Third brother, why don't you apologize to your elder brother?"

"I"

Cui Yongxuan was not reconciled, but under his mother's implied warning eyes, he walked up to Cui Yongzong, lowered his head and said: "Eldest brother, I'm sorry, I was reckless, please forgive me for my behavior today."

Cui Yongzong didn't miss the fleeting anger in Cui Yongxuan's eyes, he didn't expose it, and smiled according to his mother's intention:
"You and I are brothers, how can I blame you? It's getting late, you should go back and rest early."

Then he said to Mrs. Cui: "Mother, I will take you back."

Mrs. Cui felt guilty, how could she have the face to let him escort her, she quickly said: "You have to work every day and deal with the affairs of the mansion, it's too hard, you should rest early.

"Just let the third child send me off."

After finishing speaking, he was afraid that Cui Yongzong would insist on seeing her off, so he scolded Cui Yongxuan: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you leave quickly?"

Mrs. Cui hurried out, with a hint of embarrassment.

Cui Yongxuan glanced at Cui Yongzong unwillingly, and then went after Mrs. Cui.

After they left, Zhu Lin came to Cui Yongzong's side, and said angrily: "Master, the third master clearly promised to let you dispose of him, but now he refuses to admit it. Are you really going to let him go like this?"

"Then what can I do?" Cui Yongzong's tone was full of exhaustion and a hint of anger.

Zhu Lin was at a loss for words, and couldn't help looking at Cui Yongzong with distress.

When the old lady speaks, the uncle naturally cannot disobey, otherwise rumors of the uncle's unfilial piety will spread in the house.

At this time, Zeng Ming came over, and Cui Yongzong looked at him: "Is the person hidden?"

"It's hidden." Zeng Ming replied respectfully.

"You keep good people, I'll go to the front yard."

After Cui Yongzong gave his orders, he went out.

Sang Hua looked at the door frequently, her tone a little anxious: "Why hasn't Yuan Niang come out yet?"

Shui Rong replied calmly: "Maybe it's because I've eaten up my stomach, and it's been a while."

Hearing this, Sang Hua looked at Shui Fu and Shui Rong: "There has been no movement for so long, I'm really worried, why don't you go in and have a look."

Shui Fu showed a look of embarrassment: "Yuanniang is used to being alone, and usually doesn't let us go in to serve her."

Sang Hua was speechless for a moment.

She heard from Erniang that when Yuanniang was in Yunxuan Temple, she had no one to serve her, and she had to work every day, so her life was miserable.

Perhaps the bitter days at Yunxuan Temple were too deep, and Yuan Niang hasn't adapted to the current life, right?
With a sound of "squeak", the door suddenly opened, and Cui Hengyue came out from inside: "Let's go, Erniang should be waiting."

When Cui Hengyue went back, Cui Erniang was listening to Bai Shao's report.

"What happened?" Cui Hengyue sat down opposite Cui Erniang and asked.

Cui Erniang waved the white peony back, and said to Cui Hengyue, "Third Uncle brought someone into our big room just now, and seemed to be looking for something, and Grandmother came too."

Speaking of this, she suddenly looked at Cui Hengyue with suspicious eyes: "Elder sister, you came here so late not only to bring me pastries, did you?
"Tell me honestly, did third uncle send you to look for something?"

Cui Hengyue knew in her heart that Cui Yongzong blocked the news, but Cui Erniang, as the eldest daughter's daughter, still heard some rumors.

She showed a look of contempt: "He is not qualified enough to order me to work."

Cui Erniang: "."

These words sound rebellious, but Cui Erniang has been with Cui Hengyue for so long, and it is clear that Cui Hengyue still resents her father in her heart, so Cui Erniang immediately believed Cui Hengyue's words.

"It's getting late, I should go." Cui Hengyue stood up.

Cui Erniang stood up, with a flattering smile on her face: "Eldest sister, can I go to your yard for breakfast tomorrow?"

"Come if you want." Cui Hengyue walked out after finishing speaking.

Hearing Cui Hengyue ordered Shui Rong to "prepare an extra serving for breakfast tomorrow", the smile on Cui Erniang's face deepened.

On the way back, Shui Fu approached Cui Hengyue and asked in a low voice, "Yuanniang, what did you find out just now?"

"There are too many guards, I didn't dare to approach, and I didn't find anything." Cui Hengyue said calmly.

Shui Fu showed a disappointed expression and stopped asking.

After returning to Jinglanyuan, Cui Hengyue secretly handed a note to Mrs. Wen, telling her: "Send this to Lord Wu, remember, don't disturb others"
