Chapter 441 Inquiry
Cui Jiuniang nodded embarrassedly, and looked aside.

He Lingjiang followed her gaze, and saw an elegant figure approaching slowly from the depths of the flower tree.

Seeing him approaching, Cui Jiuniang stood up, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and bowed to He Lingjiang: "Seventh lady, talk to brother first, and I will wait for Seventh lady not far away. If you have anything, just call I am."

With that said, she got up and went outside the pavilion.

Although He Lingjiang was very human, she still followed her words and did not go too far. Instead, she led her maidservant to hide in the woods.

From He Lingjiang's perspective, he happened to be able to see her skirt standing under the shade of flowers and trees.

Cui Shu stopped a few steps away from He Lingjiang and bowed his hands: "Madam He Qin, please forgive me, I have something to ask today, so I asked Jiu Niang to invite you over."

He Lingjiang didn't feel offended, he nodded and said, "It's okay. If Mr. Cui has anything to ask, just be straightforward."

Cui Shu raised his head, but stopped talking.

He Lingjiang waved his hand, signaling Qingzhu Qiongzhi waiting outside the pavilion to also avoid it.

When there were only two of them left in the pavilion, He Lingjiang asked again: "Maybe Cui Langjun said it now?"

"Thank you, Mrs. He Qi." Cui Shu coughed lightly, and Fang raised his head to look at her.

Before he could open his mouth, the tips of his ears were already warming up, and his face was quietly turning a layer of light red.

He Lingjiang couldn't help being amazed, this gentleman of the Cui family wanted to ask her why, he was so hesitant to ask her, and he became like this before he opened his mouth?

Being stared at by her like this, Cui Shu felt more and more blushing.

He cleared his throat involuntarily, and finally calmed down, took out something from his sleeve and handed it to He Lingjiang.

An exquisite and delicate dice lay quietly in his palm, with a little red bean embedded in it.

The warm and transparent ivory white is lined with a touch of bright red, which is elegant and charming.

He Lingjiang's hand holding the teacup couldn't help but pause, and Linglong dice placed the red beans, and she was deeply in love with each other...

Cui Shu, is this showing his affection to her?

"This is what I want to ask. I wonder if Seventh Lady will accept this thing?" Cui Shu looked straight into her eyes, with tenderness, expectation, and apprehension that could not be concealed.

There was a long silence in the pavilion, and the falling flowers outside the pavilion flew into the cup of He Lingjiang, causing clear and shallow ripples on the surface of the water.

She put down the teacup and smiled softly: "Cui Langjun is joking with me? This dice... He Qi is not good at it."

Cui Shu's fingertips couldn't help curling up slightly, with Mrs. He Qi's intelligence, how could she not understand what he meant?
Saying this in this way is just to politely decline without hurting his face.

Cui Shu's heart ached, but he still didn't take back his hand, but watched her keep that sentence in his heart, and finally said it slowly.

"It's been a long time since I congratulated Seventh Lady."

Hearing his words, He Lingjiang didn't look surprised, and there was no sign of shyness on his face, but looked at him peacefully.

There is no interruption, nor dodge, so peaceful...

Cui Shu couldn't help but smile lonely.

From the first meeting in Linchuan, Mrs. He Qi was reflected in his heart.He was really happy to meet again in Shaoyang.

After parting, he took great pains to find the Liu family in the east of the river she casually mentioned.

But whether it was to find the savior or something else, only he himself knew.

Later, Ying Du met again during the dinner, and when he learned of her true identity, while he was surprised, he couldn't hide his joy.

So he went to find talisman papers and cinnabar to thank her, went to every banquet she might attend, and secretly inquired about her.

She joined the Department of Disappearance and thoroughly investigated the affairs of the shrine.So, she was praised for her meritorious service, he was silently happy for her, and he was secretly worried for her when she was hurt by running around.

Who would have known the great joy that would surge in his heart when Cui Shi might be married to He Shi?
He dispelled all Grandpa's worries and convinced him that this move was feasible.

However, he still blocked the plan of the elders in the family to directly go to He's residence to inquire.

If the two governments want to discuss marriage, it is the parents and elders who discuss with each other, and the matchmaker makes the knot.

Before that, he wanted to ask Mrs. He Qi personally, he Cui Shuxin had liked her for a long time, but he didn't know that Qingxin was like mine.

Now, he thought, he had his share of the answer.

However, the answer was not what he wanted.

He Lingjiang watched the anticipation in his eyes gradually recede, then withdrew his hand and held the exquisite dice in his palm, and put it under his sleeve.

Cui Shu pretended to smile relaxedly: "I wonder if I can sit down?"

"This is the Cui Mansion." He Lingjiang said with a faint smile.

She also had a slight perception of Cui Shu's intentions before.

After all, it is impossible for her to be unaware that a man of his status pays close attention to her.

Coupled with the occasional encounters, his words and deeds revealed a vague affection, it is not difficult to guess the young man's mind.

Pei You could see what was going on in his mind, so naturally she wouldn't be as completely unreasonable as before.

But, if he didn't say it, she wouldn't mention it either.

Now, if he can figure out how to let go, that would be the best.

"Yes... this is Cui's residence..." Cui Shu sighed.

He bowed his head in silence, and when he raised his head again, the previous sense of loss was gone in his eyes.

"Cui Shi intends to discuss marriage with He Shi. Originally, my father wanted to go to Prime Minister He Zhong himself to propose."

"Seventh Lady, you know, my father suddenly had such an idea, who suggested it?"

He Lingjiang's heart was clear: "Prince Duan..."

Cui Shu's eyes were full of admiration: "Miss He Qi is really smart."

He just mentioned such a sentence, and she could think of the intricacies of the power behind him.

"Miss He Qi should know that because of the dispute between King Duan and the Crown Prince, he has always wanted to win over the He family and Lady Qi. If we say that the most stable way is marriage..."

Neither the Prince Duan's mansion nor the Zhongshuling's Zhao family has a man of the right age.Then, the best candidate fell to Cui Shi.

The Cui family and Prince Duan's mansion are related by marriage, but because Cui Huai deliberately avoided suspicion, the two families are not close.

If Cui He's family got married, others would not say much.

As a result, the He family was also secretly involved with Duan Wang.

He Lingjiang raised his eyebrows, Mingren didn't speak secretly, she said bluntly: "Cui Gong has made up his mind to help Duan Wang succeed?"

He didn't hesitate to let the most valued son in the clan marry her, a daughter of the He family who was originally looked down upon.

Cui Shu couldn't help sighing: "It's indeed my grandfather's wrong move to allow Auntie to marry Prince Duan. Even if Mrs. Cui tried hard to put aside the relationship with Prince Duan's mansion, but with this relationship, it is impossible for the two to be truly inseparable. related."

"However, even so, if Mrs. Cui is determined not to be involved in this battle for the reserve position, she will have a way to protect herself."

"Miss He Qi guessed wrong about something..." He looked at He Lingjiang, with a gentle light in his eyes, "Although King Duan proposed to marry the He family, it was not Grandpa's intention."

"It's me who really wants to marry the He family."
