The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 57
Looking at the moonlight outside the window, Cui Hengyue always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell.

She turned around and looked at the room calmly. The furnishings had not changed, the food on the table had not changed, and even the amount of pastry and jerky left on the plate was exactly the same as before she fell asleep.

One of the crystal cups was missing, but the king of Chu said that she knocked over a wine glass, which should refer to the missing crystal cup.

Everything else remained the same, the king of Chu was still wearing the same suit she had seen before, and the very ordinary mahogany hairpin was still stuck in his hair.

It seems that she is still dreaming.

"Where did you just say?"

Cui Hengyue sat down at the table, poured wine, squeezed a hundred flower cake, looked at King Chu, and beckoned him to continue telling the story.

"I forgot."

King Chu turned his wheelchair, came to the table, took a piece of Baihua cake, put it in his mouth, and chewed.

He doesn't want to talk about it?
But she was getting excited.

Cui Hengyue quietly watched King Chu finish eating a piece of pastry, and seeing that he was not willing to tell a story, she reminded him:

"I remember you seem to have mentioned that my aunt and Cui Yongxuan met, and after that they hit it off, and after that, I don't know."

The king of Chu interrupted her: "Cui Yongxuan is your father's name."

"Oh!"

Cui Hengyue's reaction was very indifferent, and she didn't realize that as a child, it is forbidden to mention his father's name.

The king of Chu looked at her for a while, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He shouldn't be too demanding in her situation.

Therefore, the king of Chu continued to tell the story: "At that time, the royal family wanted to marry the aristocratic family, and the Wang family was among them, and the woman chosen by the Wang family was Wang Erniang.

"But because Wang Erniang and Cui Yongxuan made a private decision for life, there was a lot of trouble in the city, and they were clamoring at home to marry into Cui's family. Wang Dingkun was very angry and threatened that if she married into Cui's family, he would kick her out of the house.

"Wang Erniang was dazzled by love at that time, and left the Wang family with her servants, but Mrs. Wang still prepared a generous dowry for Wang Erniang, and asked Wang Erniang to marry from another courtyard.

"Since then, Wang Dingkun has kept his word and announced to everyone that Wang Erniang will be expelled from the Wang family. He also ordered the members of the Wang clan not to associate with Wang Erniang. Even Mrs. Wang was ordered not to see her daughter."

Cui Hengyue drank the last drop of wine, blushed and said angrily: "That Wang Dingkun is too much, my mother is just pursuing the love in her heart, and she didn't make any big mistakes, why can't she forgive her?

"You also kicked my mother out of the house, how will my mother gain a foothold in the Cui family?"

Marriage of aristocratic families has never been focused on people, but the power of the major families. How can a woman who has lost the protection of her family bring her husband's family?
Such a woman must be struggling in her husband's family and not being valued by her husband's family. You can see what happened to Wang Erniang.

However, she was forced into Yunxuan Temple only three months after giving birth, and spent 15 years in the North Catacombs. In the end, she became ill and died.

During this period, no one from her natal family or her husband's family cared about her, it was really miserable.

Cui Hengyue couldn't figure it out, the Cui family was just ruthless, after all, Wang Dingkun and his wife were Wang Erniang's biological parents, so it was incredible that they were so ruthless.

"Ah!"

King Chu sneered: "The most important thing for aristocratic families is reputation. The matter between Wang Erniang and Cui Yongxuan has caused a lot of trouble in the city, and the Wang family has lost all face. Naturally, the Wang family will not treat her.

"What's more, Wang Dingkun and Cui Quan have been at odds in court, but his daughter is arguing desperately to marry Cui Quan's son. Of course Wang Dingkun is angry."

Cui Hengyue didn't answer.

She still felt that Wang Dingkun was ungrateful and ungrateful, and she shouldn't treat Wang Erniang like this.

The King of Chu took a look at Cui Hengyue, and continued: "Wang Erniang's marriage to Cui Yongxuan is not just as simple as embarrassing the Wang family, but also causing the Wang family to lose one of the most capable and caring daughters."

"What does my aunt's marriage have to do with my aunt?" Cui Hengyue looked puzzled.

"Of course it has something to do with it."

The king of Chu felt cold, and he even looked at Cui Hengyue with coolness: "I told you just now that the royal family is going to marry a powerful family, and the Taiyuan Wang family will bear the brunt.

"Wang Erniang was originally going to marry the late emperor to be the empress, but because of the troubles surrounding her and Cui Yongxuan, the late emperor issued an order to reprimand Wang Dingkun and demote him from his official position.

"So, Wang Dingkun sent his eldest daughter to the palace, but because of Wang Erniang's matter, Wang Yuanniang could have been a queen, but she only became a noble concubine.

"Wang Yuanniang was pure in temperament and indifferent in heart. She was murdered to death in less than a year in that deep palace that ate people without spit out their bones."

Having said that, King Chu suddenly stopped, turned the wheelchair, and turned his back to Cui Hengyue.

Cui Hengyue didn't know why, so she got up and walked around to the King of Chu to look at him, but saw that his expression was indifferent, and the circles of his eyes seemed to be slightly red.

No way?
Is the king of Chu crying?
Cui Hengyue took a closer look and saw that King Chu's expression was indifferent, his eyes were clear and not flushed.

Did she read wrong just now?

Cui Hengyue rubbed her eyes, looked at King Chu again, and found that King Chu was still the same as before, with an indifferent expression, and her eyes were clear without redness.

It seemed that she was really wrong.

"What does my aunt's death have to do with my mother?"

After he said so much, she still thought that Yuan Niang's death had nothing to do with her mother?
King Chu's face suddenly darkened: "If Wang Erniang followed the rules and did not do this kind of thing, why did Wang Yuanniang marry into the palace and die unexpectedly?"

"you are wrong."

Cui Hengyue first pointed out the mistake of the King of Chu, and then explained: "Seniors are orderly, the royal family wants to marry the royal family, and it should be my aunt who married into the royal family."

Seeing that the King of Chu opened his mouth to retort, Cui Hengyue rushed ahead of him: "Okay, even if the royal family chose my aunt at that time, but what's wrong with my aunt pursuing the love in her heart?

"If the first emperor was a wise king, he should have generously fulfilled my aunt, but he ordered Wang Dingkun to be reprimanded, and even demoted Wang Dingkun's official position to put pressure on Wang Dingkun. What kind of wise king is this?
"There is also that Wang Dingkun, he sent my aunt into the palace in order to get promoted, he is not a good person.

"The late Emperor and Wang Dingkun are the most responsible for my aunt's death. If it wasn't for the fact that the late Emperor wanted to marry the Wang family and put pressure on Wang Dingkun, how could my aunt marry into the palace?
"If it wasn't for Wang Dingkun selling her daughter for glory, how could my aunt die tragically in the deep palace?
"Of course, the most damnable is the one who killed my aunt"

Speaking of this, Cui Hengyue suddenly asked: "Who is the person who killed my aunt?"

Hearing Cui Hengyue call her grandfather's name all the time, the king of Chu wanted to reprimand her, but after hearing this question, he swallowed all the words of reprimand.

The King of Chu was startled, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes: "I don't know, they all said that Wang Yuanniang died of illness."

died of illness?
Cui Hengyue didn't believe it.

"My aunt often tells me about the relationship between her and my aunt. My aunt has always been in good health. How could she die of illness at a young age? There must be something strange about it."

King Chu's eyes lit up, "There is something strange, but no one can find out."

Cui Hengyue suddenly leaned forward, grabbing the armrest of the wheelchair with both hands: "Why do you know so much about the Wang family?

"What are you and Wang Yuanniang. Ah."

Before the question was finished, Cui Hengyue was struck flying by the king of Chu, fell to the ground, and passed out.
