The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 359 Unfathomable Thoughts

Speaking of the latter, the expression on Liu's face became even more contemptuous, and he made no secret of his mockery of Cui Hengyue.

"What a noble status is the eldest daughter of the Cui family, how can she be accompanied by a concubine? What's more, she is attending a banquet at the Prince Regent's mansion. If she acts like this, won't everyone in the capital laugh at us, Cui family?

"Even if the Duke and Madam knew about this matter, they would not agree to it."

Shui Rong has been very calm, quietly waiting for Liu to finish venting before she speaks: "Whether the Duke and the old lady will agree, don't bother the third lady to worry about this matter, Yuanniang has her own explanation.

"What we're talking about now is the matter of Mrs. Xiao and Ba Niang being punished to kneel. As far as I know, Ba Niang didn't commit any crimes, but Si Niang was arrogant and domineering and hurt others."

As soon as Shui Rong accused her of hurting others, Cui Siniang immediately became angry: "I am a concubine daughter, she is a concubine daughter, she disrespects me, so what if I beat her?
"That's what she deserves!"

Shui Rong's face was indifferent: "If this matter gets to the ears of the Duke, I'm afraid the Duke will not think so."

Hearing this, Cui Siniang's anger stagnated, and her eyes became flustered.

A flustered look flashed across Liu's face.

Shui Rong saw their changes in her eyes, and continued: "Yuanniang just wants to live in peace and quiet, and doesn't want to get involved in the bad things of the third room. Yuanniang doesn't care how you bully the concubine daughter, and she won't in the future. I'll take care of it, as long as you don't hinder Yuanniang.

"But now Yuan Niang has taken a fancy to Ba Niang and wants Ba Niang to accompany her to the banquet, so I have to talk about it.

"Ba Niang is not wrong, and Xiao is even more right. They were punished to kneel for an hour, and the anger in your hearts should disappear.

"I would like to advise you, accept as soon as you see it, otherwise Yuan Niang will not be indifferent."

Seeing that Liu's mother and daughter didn't speak, Shui Rong brought up the previous topic again: "Dare to ask Third Madam, can Xiao's and Ba Niang's punishment be spared?"

Cui Siniang was not reconciled, but she couldn't say anything about Shui Rong, so she looked at her mother for help.

After weighing it in her heart, Liu decided not to argue with Cui Hengyue for a while: "Then let's avoid it."

"Thank you, Third Madam." Shui Rong saluted lightly, ready to leave.

But was stopped by Liu Shi: "Wait, go back and tell Yuan Niang, I can agree to her taking Ba Niang, but apart from Ba Niang, she must take Si Niang."

Yuan Niang would not agree.

While muttering in her heart, Shui Rong said politely: "I will tell Yuan Niang, and leave."

After speaking, he turned around and left the room.

Cui Siniang was furious, and pointed to her back and said to Liu Shi: "Aniang, look at her, she doesn't look like a maid, she is too arrogant."

"Shh-"

Mrs. Liu hurriedly signaled Cui Siniang to keep quiet, but seeing that Shui Rong had disappeared at the door, she was relieved.

She reminded her daughter angrily: "I told you a long time ago that Shui Rong and Shui Fu are Cui Hengyue's servant girls in name, but they are actually from Chu Palace. Even the old lady would not dare to punish them too harshly. "

".Humph!"

Cui Siniang couldn't refute, so she snorted heavily.

Next, Mrs. Liu waited in the room for Cui Hengyue's reply, but when it got dark, no one came from Jinglan Garden.

Fearing that Cui Hengyue would not agree, Liu went to find Cui Yongxuan.

……

After Cui Hengyue heard what Shui Rong told Liu Shi, she sneered and did not speak.

Shui Rong saw her expression and understood her thoughts: "Since you have made up your mind, you have to think about how to deal with the old lady and the third master."

"I know." After Cui Hengyue responded, he was a little hesitant to speak, with a hint of entanglement in his expression.

After struggling for a while, Cui Hengyue finally said: "Shuifu's injury is still not healed, you live in the same room with her, take good care of her.

"Let Mrs. Wen be on duty tonight."

In fact, Cui Hengyue doesn't need someone on duty at night, but the rules are like this, she must do so to avoid being criticized.

Shui Rong didn't seem to think too much, and gently persuaded: "Miss Wen has been on duty for two nights in a row, and her body can't bear it.

"Shui Fu's injury is not serious, she can take care of herself, so I'll be on duty tonight."

Hearing this, Cui Hengyue simply told the truth: "Actually... I want to go out of the house at night."

"Where do you want to go?" Shui Rong showed surprise, thought for a while, and guessed: "You don't want to go to the palace, do you?"

Cui Hengyue nodded.

Sure enough, blood is thicker than water.

Shui Rong was very pleased, and said: "Then I will go with you.

"Nowadays, there are people from the Prince Regent outside the palace. I heard that Prince Rui's son and Prince Changshan are still interrogating the people in the palace. It's too dangerous for you to go alone. If you go alone, you can at least have someone to take care of you."

Cui Hengyue shook her head slightly: "No, two people are too conspicuous, I'd better go alone."

Seeing that Shui Rong wanted to persuade her again, Cui Hengyue rushed to say: "Don't worry, I will definitely act carefully and not get hurt."

Knowing what Cui Hengyue said, Shui Rong has already made up her mind to go alone, no matter how much she persuades, Cui Hengyue will not change her mind.

However, Cui Hengyue can confess to her, this is a good start.

So, Shui Rong said: "Okay, be careful, I will take good care of Jinglan Garden."

With her words, Cui Hengyue felt more relieved, and smiled at her: "Thank you."

Shui Rong smiled back, just like back then in Yunxuan Temple, she had no grudges in her heart.

That night, Cui Hengyue struggled to avoid the guards of Duke Yasukuni's mansion and people from the patrol battalion, and came outside the palace.

Cui Hengyue stood at the entrance of the alley, stared at the gate of the palace for a while, and then went around to the back door of the palace.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and Cui Hengyue felt a dangerous aura, so he drew out his dagger and stabbed back.

The people behind quickly avoided, and said in time: "Miss Cui, it's me."

Cui Hengyue stopped and took a closer look, seeing that it was Chen Linshen, she was relieved.

The next moment, her heart rose again.

She raised her hand to touch her face and found that her face scarf was still there. She was shocked and looked at Chen Linshen: "How do you know it's me?"

"I guessed it, but I didn't expect it was really you." Chen Linshen smiled happily, with a hint of cunning.

Cui Hengyue froze: "..."

She shouldn't have admitted it.

A trace of annoyance flashed in Cui Hengyue's eyes, and she stared at Chen Linshen: "Why, the county king wants to report me in front of my grandfather?"

"I won't." Chen Linshen smiled.

Cui Hengyue couldn't figure out his thoughts, so she asked directly: "What on earth do you want to do? If you want to blackmail me into doing something, then give up as soon as possible. I hate others threatening me the most."

What I hate most is being threatened by others... Chen Linshen wrote it down silently, still with a smile on his face.

"I know that you are here to know about the case of Wang's murder of Qi Nianguang. If you want to know anything, I will tell you as long as you ask."

Chen Linshen thought that blood was thicker than water. Although Cui Hengyue's mother was expelled from the Wang clan, Cui Hengyue was kind, and she was definitely worried about something happening to the Wang clan.

Unexpectedly, Cui Hengyue said: "No, I don't want to know any news about the case."

Chen Linshen: "..."
