The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 453 Compromise
As soon as Cui Hengyue returned to the mansion, someone reported it to Mrs. Cui.

"You are all old people in the mansion, you all know what to do, go down."

Mrs. Cui sent away all the managers and went to Jinglan Garden immediately.

"Yuanniang, the eldest lady is here." Ju Hong ran all the way into the main room, panting.

Cui Hengyue froze for a moment, and then ordered: "Madam please come in."

After Mrs. Cui came in, she ordered again: "You all step back."

When there were only the two of them in the room, Mrs. Cui and Cui Hengyue confided in each other: "Ah Heng, tell me the truth, do you agree to this marriage?

"If you don't agree, I will do everything possible to cancel this marriage for you."

Cui Hengyue was very moved, her eyes were slightly red: "Auntie, thank you, thank you very much, if you weren't here, I wouldn't know what to do in the manor."

After changing her tone, she continued: "After my mother passed away, I originally planned not to marry in this life, but now that the marriage has been settled, I can't let my grandmother lose her promise.

"I agree to this marriage, and my aunt doesn't need to help me find a way, just let me wait quietly to get married."

Mrs. Cui frowned slightly, and persuaded: "You don't have to force yourself, and you don't have to consider others. If you don't want to, just tell me and I will help you."

Seeing Mrs. Cui misunderstood, Cui Hengyue took her hand and explained: "Auntie, I didn't want to before because it happened too suddenly, but now I am willing."

Mrs. Cui remembered the place she went back to the mansion, and couldn't help asking: "Did you go to see Mr. Song Xiaolang just now?"

"Yes."

"What did he tell you?"

"He said he would do his best to protect me and not let me suffer."

"You believe him?"

"I believe." Cui Hengyue nodded solemnly: "To be honest, I met him at Yunxuan Temple, we have experienced life and death together, and fought side by side several times.

"He has helped me and saved me. What kind of person he is, I know very well that there is no one in this world who treats me better than him."

Cui Hengyue firmly held Mrs. Cui's hand, her eyes were very sincere: "So, don't worry, Auntie, he will treat me well and will not bully me.

"Of course, he can't bully me."

Looking at the sweet smile mixed with complacency on Cui Hengyue's face, Mrs. Cui finally believed that she agreed to the marriage willingly.

"Since you agree, then I have nothing to say, but if anything goes wrong in the future, you must tell me."

"Well, I will."

Mrs. Cui felt at ease, and after leaving Jinglan Garden, she told Wutong: "Go and investigate Song Zhuoxing, I want to know everything about him."

"Yes." Indus took the order and left.

Mrs. Cui has been waiting for Cui Hengyue to make a fuss, but Cui Hengyue has been staying in Jinglan Garden since returning home, and did not go to Fuhai Courtyard to pay her respects due to illness.

Mrs. Cui's prepared words in advance were useless, and she felt a little depressed, but she didn't make things difficult for Cui Hengyue, letting her excuse her illness.

In this way, half a month passed peacefully.

On this day, Shui Fu hurriedly came to Cui Hengyue, and said in a low voice: "Yuanniang, I found Achang."

Cui Hengyue was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Where is he?"

"I was afraid that people in the mansion would see me, so I didn't let Achang enter the city. I'm currently residing outside the city." Shui Fu replied.

"You're right, we have to be careful."

Cui Hengyue praised Shui Fu: "You can't let the people in the mansion know about this matter. Let someone protect Achang first, and I'll find an excuse to leave the mansion tomorrow."

"Yes."

On the second day, Cui Hengyue sent someone to send the post to the Prince Regent's Mansion, and after getting a reply, he went to Fuhai Court to report to Mrs. Cui.

"Since the regent princess invited you, then you go, go early and return early."

"Yes."

Cui Hengyue wanted to leave, but was stopped by Mrs. Cui again: "Wait—"

"What else does grandma want?"

Madam Cui eased her tone: "You will inevitably be lonely if you go alone, let Er Niang and Si Niang go with you."

When Cui Hengyue was called to stop, she guessed what Madam Cui was thinking, and she said without changing her face: "The princess regent is happy to be quiet, please go without asking, the princess regent will be unhappy."

Hearing this, Mrs. Cui no longer asked Cui Hengyue to bring her sisters to accompany her, and let her go after only a few words.

After Cui Hengyue entered the Prince Regent's Mansion, Madam Xu personally led her to the courtyard of the Princess Regent.

"Cui Yuanniang met the princess"

Seeing the beautiful young woman sitting next to the Princess Regent, Cui Hengyue hastily saluted again: "I have seen the Princess Princess."

"Sister Cui, you don't need to be too polite, please sit down." Prince Rui warmly greeted Cui Hengyue to sit down, then stared at Cui Hengyue: "Sister Cui has such a beautiful face, no wonder so many people like you."

Cui Hengyue was puzzled in her heart, and said modestly on her face: "The imperial concubine is absurdly praised."

"I'm telling the truth"

Before Prince Rui's concubine could finish her sentence, the princess regent interrupted her: "It's time for Yu'er to come back from the palace, go get ready."

Knowing that the princess regent was trying to drive someone away, Prince Rui and his wife did not dare to object, and obediently resigned.

"Is the concubine's injuries all healed?" Cui Hengyue asked.

"It's been good."

The regent princess was afraid that she would not believe her, so she moved her arm deliberately: "Look, is everything all right?"

Cui Hengyue smiled: "Wangfei survived a catastrophe, there must be future blessings."

As she gets older, she loves to listen to pleasant words, and the Princess Regent is no exception. With a smile on her lips, she greets Cui Hengyue to eat:

"These fruits are a tribute from the Western Regions. They are rare to see. You can try them."

After a pause, she said again: "You seemed to have something to ask me last time, didn't you?"

Cui Hengyue paused her outstretched hand, and retracted it: "Yes, I want to know more about my aunt and my mother.

"If the princess doesn't mind, can you tell me about them again?"

The Princess Regent didn't say much that time, and today she wants to know a little more, so that she can find key clues from it.

Seeing that the Princess Regent did not speak, Cui Hengyue said cautiously: "You should know that Mrs. Wang does not recognize me, and Mrs. Cui keeps secrets from my mother and aunt. They refused to tell me, so I can only come to you."

With such pitiful words, the Princess Regent's heart softened, and she said slowly: "Last time I told you that I used to be good friends with your mother and your aunt."

Cui Hengyue listened carefully, but she did not forget to pour water and tea for the princess regent, and occasionally induced the princess regent to talk about the affairs between the prince regent and the king of Chu.

"Princess, the county king is back."

As soon as Madam Xu finished reporting, Chen Linshen walked in: "Mother—"

"Miss Cui is here too." Chen Linshen pretended to greet Cui Hengyue calmly.

Cui Hengyue stood up and saluted him, and then said to the princess regent: "Princess, it's getting late, I should go back home, I'll see you next time."

When the words fall, go outside.

Watching Cui Hengyue's back disappear at the door, Chen Linshen hastily said to the Princess Regent: "Mother, I suddenly remembered that there is something else to do, so I will take my leave first."

After speaking, he rushed out without waiting for his mother to respond.

"and many more--"

Chen Linshen caught up with Cui Hengyue and blocked her way: "Did you compromise on this marriage?"

Unexpectedly, after more than half a month, he still cared about this matter. Cui Hengyue was a little impatient, and said coldly: "The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, these are the rules that have been set since ancient times, why should I object?"

"Are you willing to marry that kid?" Chen Linshen heard her implication, with a surprised expression.

Cui Hengyue answered his question seriously: "Yes, I am willing."
