If you don't work hard to farm the fields, you will inherit the throne with the prince.

Chapter 96

Cui didn't speak, but just looked at the woman in front of her with burning eyes. When she was born, she also regarded her like a jewel in the palm of her hand, but unfortunately, her education failed.

"Mom, I've said so much, why are you still indifferent! Do you really want us all to be exiled?"

Yuan Huilan, who was well-clothed and well-fed since she was a child, dared not think at all, if she were to be exiled, what would happen to her children?What about her husband?What about her life?
"Exile?" Cui reminded in a hoarse voice, "It should be Zhu Jiu Clan."

When Yuan Huilan heard this, her legs went limp and she fell to the ground.

Killing the Nine Clans?
This……

She stretched out her hands to grab Cui Shi's skirt in extreme embarrassment, and asked unwillingly: "Mother, you know that something happened to your father and you will be punished by the nine clans, but you still choose to report it? You...do you hate us so much?"

Cui looked at her indifferently, and asked indifferently, "You don't blame him for violating the national law, but me for reporting? Yuan Huilan, why did I ever teach you like this?"

"Mother, you hate me, brother, and father, don't you?" Yuan Huilan asked with tears streaming down her face, "How can you be so vicious? It's... unexpectedly..."

"Wrong, I don't hate you." Cui's voice was soft, but still without any emotion, "Since you chose to abandon me, you have also been abandoned by me."

After Cui finished speaking, she looked at the worried mother beside her, and said in a deep voice, "Mom, see off the guests."

The nanny and a few rough women dragged Yuan Huilan out of the small courtyard by force.

Cui glanced at Xie Mingzhu silently, and kept busy with the feather duster without saying a word.

Xie Mingzhu didn't speak either, just busy with her work.

She knew that for Cui Shi, killing relatives might not feel good to her, but in this world, there is no real empathy for everything.

She is not Cui Shi, and if she has not experienced what Cui Shi experienced, it is naturally impossible for the Holy Mother to ask Cui Shi to be magnanimous.

Persuading people to be magnanimous will be struck by thunder.

Xie Mingzhu and Cui Shi were busy with their own business, this thoughtfulness made Cui Shi feel grateful.

Yuan Huilan is her daughter, she is not grass, how can she be really indifferent?

It's just...the state owns the state law, and the family has family rules. Those surnamed Yuan who break the law will naturally have what they deserve. She pities her children. Have you confessed?
After Qin Che finished his work, he returned to the small courtyard and saw that Xie Mingzhu was so busy, he said distressedly, "Mingzhu, don't be too busy."

Xie Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise, "Qin Che, you finished your work so soon?"

Seeing that there was a little dust on Xie Mingzhu's forehead, Qin Che hurriedly took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the dust on Xie Mingzhu's forehead.

The distance between the two was so close that Qin Che could see the fine hairs on Xie Mingzhu's face. In an instant, his hands became stiff for no reason.

"Is there something on my face?" Xie Mingzhu asked.

With a hoarse voice, Qin Che said, "There's a little dust, I'll just wipe it off for you."

"Oh."

Xie Mingzhu was getting closer to Qin Che, and she could clearly feel that Qin Che's body was a little stiff.

The fragrance on Qin Che's body was the faint fragrance of bamboo leaves, elegant and easy-going, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"Ok?"

Qin Che withdrew his hand reluctantly, and said calmly, "It's done."

"Qin Che, I see that there are quite a lot of things in the kitchen. We need to buy some, shall we?"

Although Xie Mingzhu and Qin Che arrived in Shu County, they still couldn't go out to the restaurant. The husband and wife still had to make their own plans.

"I'm about to pick you up to buy."

"Then wait for me, I'll tell Mrs. Cui."

Qin Che reminded again: "You tell Madam Cui to let her and Nanny choose a room by themselves."

"it is good."

Mrs. Cui and Nanny stayed at Qin Che's house for the time being.

Xie Mingzhu and Qin Che walked out of the small courtyard. On the west side of the city, there are high-ranking officials who often live there, and the environment is not bad.

With new neighbors, naturally the whole street knows about it.

Qin Che brought Xie Mingzhu into Yong'an Commercial Firm. As soon as the two of them left, a shopkeeper came up to him and said warmly, "Young Master Qin!"

Qin Che raised his eyebrows calmly and said, "Let's go shopping."

Xie Mingzhu asked in surprise, "Does he know you?"

"I have been to Yong'an Commercial Bank and asked them to deliver a letter home, have you forgotten?"

Xie Mingzhu said: "I remember."

Not everything was available in Yong'an Commercial Firm. After picking out some items, Qin Che and Xie Mingzhu went to buy bowls and chopsticks, iron pans, kitchen knives, ceramic pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

In short, neither of them was idle, and Lin Lin always bought a lot.

It costs a lot to buy a stove.

Fortunately, Qin Che has money, and Xie Mingzhu doesn't need to worry about not having money.

"Qin Che, it's fortunate that you wisely carried the bank note with you, otherwise, the two of us would..."

Qin Che said with a smile: "Lady, don't worry, even if I have no money, I can still write letters for others, and I won't starve you."

When Xie Mingzhu heard this, she smiled and said, "Okay."

After the two returned to the small courtyard, the small courtyard had been tidied up, and all the rough envoys and maidservants before the county mansion had also evacuated. Only Mrs. Cui and the nanny were waiting for the two to return.

As soon as Xie Mingzhu put away her things, she didn't stay idle, and when she entered the kitchen, she turned it on to prepare dinner.

The newly bought iron pot cannot be used directly, and the pot has to be made again.

Xie Mingzhu had no choice but to cook some porridge in a clay pot for dinner.

Cui looked at Xie Mingzhu's nimble handling of the iron pot, without being pretentious at all, and asked abruptly, "Madam, you and the master..."

"Master Cui, you can call me Pearl."

It's fine to call her Mrs. Qin Che, but there is always a slight sense of disobedience.

Maybe it was because Qin Che's face was too young and too handsome.

"Qin Che and I got married for joy. I was lucky, a country girl, to pick up such a handsome scholar."

When Cui was told by Xie Mingzhu, she almost forgot her original intention.

"Mingzhu, don't call me Mrs. Cui. My surname is Cui. My family used to call me Yuniang."

"Then will you be called Cui Yu from now on? Or Cui Yuniang?"

"Cui Yu."

"to make."

Cui Yu was very happy, she and Xie Mingzhu were destined to each other.

Xie Mingzhu's words and deeds are all very close to her.

Cui Yu liked her very much.

If Xie Mingzhu hadn't thrown her the letter of appointment from Pearl Academy, her original plan was to wait for her children's bodies to be collected, and then forget about her own death.

In this world, there is nothing worth worrying about.

But the appearance of Xie Mingzhu seems to have become a variable in her life.

"Mingzhu, you have heard of the Holy Empress, but do you know the current Crown Prince?"

Xie Mingzhu was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "I don't know His Highness the Crown Prince, I only know that he has the surname of the Holy Empress? Is there a problem with you suddenly mentioning this?"
