Eldest daughter

Chapter 502
It never occurred to Mrs. Cui that she just wanted to adopt a child under Hong'er's name, so how could rumors spread all over the city that she was dizzy and confused?

After seeing off her natal sister-in-law, Mrs. Cui sat down on a chair with dull eyes.

The sister-in-law came here to persuade her, and it would be nicer to persuade her, but in fact, she came to scold her, saying that Hong'er is still young, since she has a sister and son, she will also have a son in the future, why bother to mention adoption now?It is said to be adopted, but in fact it is not a detrimental move of the belt.

The sister-in-law just missed poking her forehead with her finger and calling her an idiot. I believe such folk legends [-]% of the time, and she comes from a famous family. Why don't you use your brain to think about it?Even if he wanted to use this method, he didn't know how to hide it. He wanted to be spied on by others. He wentssip about it for no reason, and was suspected of his natal family's upbringing, which caused his niece from her natal family to suffer a few supercilious glances.

In the main courtyard, the silence was disturbing and suffocating.

"Go, call Second Mistress and kneel down for me." Mrs. Cui ordered coldly.

Master Cui never thought that the emperor would pass on his words to him only because of the affairs of his family's inner house.Standing in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the golden leaf fan fanned the ice basin, the huge hall was very cool, but Master Cui's back was wet with sweat.

"...Your second child, he fought with me in the battlefield when he was ten years old, and never even returned home. I thought he was doing it for meritorious service, but later I found out that having a family means not having a family. I also found out that Mrs. Cui hated him so much. He is not allowed to make meritorious deeds, and he is not allowed to stand out. They say that mothers are strong, but Mrs. Cui is different." Emperor Jing looked at Master Cui and said: "The incident with your boss back then was also an accident. Since it is an accident, who can predict it? It’s just a blessing and a disaster for people to be able to avoid it, but it’s just a matter of half-life, why bother?”

"Your Majesty..." Master Cui knelt tremblingly, sweat dripping down his forehead.

"Although Cui Hong is an idiot, he is pure and kind. I am very happy. Mrs. Cui is too obsessed with past grievances. It is not a good thing for others or herself. I heard that you want to succeed Cui Yuan's third son to Cui Hong?"

Master Cui's heart trembled, and he said, "Your Majesty, this..."

"I've heard that it's spread all over the world. You said that you adopted it for the sake of your son? It's ridiculous. This is a folk theory without any basis, but because of this, it will make people lose the bond between father and son. How cruel is it?" Emperor Jing looked at him coldly. snort.

Master Cui prostrated himself on the ground: "Your Majesty..."

"Lord Cui, the peace in the back house is the only way to govern the country and share the worries of the king. Master Cui has been an official for many years, how come he is so eloquent that he makes the family restless? That boy Cui Yuan is also too arrogant. Go back and persuade him, don't be rash. Just ask to be dismissed from office, I need him." Emperor Jing said lightly: "The boys in your family are not yet thirty, so don't worry about the issue of heirs. .”

"I obey the order." Master Cui put his hands on the ground and called tremblingly.

Emperor Jing said again: "Mrs. Cui is getting old, and it's time for An Xiang to take care of her grandchildren in her later years. She is too powerless to take care of Master Cui." "Ziru should go home with Master Cui. From now on, I will serve Master Cui and help Mrs. Cui share some of the burden."

"The slaves obey the order."
Master Cui stared wide-eyed, looked at the female officer, then quickly lowered his head, and kowtowed in fear to thank him.

……

Master Cui led Ziru into the house with one foot deep and the other shallow. He was still in a fog, so the servants came forward to report that his wife was punishing the second grandmother to kneel.
Master Cui glared, this wicked woman, you think you didn't make enough trouble for him, don't you?He raised his feet and was about to go to the main courtyard, when he saw Ziru from the corner of his eye, he said again: "Take Mrs. Ru to the study in the outer courtyard to resettle."

The female official rewarded by the emperor said that she served him, but she was actually a concubine for him, and she was a noble concubine, so she could not be treated lightly.

Ziru bowed her knees and followed her mother-in-law gracefully.

Mrs. Cui looked at Wang Yuan'er who was kneeling in the courtyard with a cold face. The rumors outside are definitely from this poisonous woman, otherwise who else?

"Your tricks are not enough to watch. You think you can control everything by just spreading gossip? You are dreaming."

"The daughter-in-law doesn't understand what the wife said, and she will be punished or scolded, so I ask the wife to understand, otherwise the daughter-in-law will not accept it." Wang Yuan'er straightened her waist.

"You still dare to quibble." Mrs. Cui threw a teacup in front of her, and said sharply: "The gossip and gossip in this mansion have spread outside the mansion, who is it not you? Brother Ji Yu is his blessing, How dare you, how dare you..."

She was so angry that her chest hurt, this daughter-in-law and that bastard were a natural match, they were both cunning wolf cubs, and they were all in the same family.

"The matter of adoption is up to the husband and the old man. As a daughter-in-law, I dare not go beyond the rules. As for the gossip my wife said, I hope my wife can provide evidence." Wang Yuan'er said lightly.

"you……"

"Madam, Madam is not well." Someone yelled and rushed into the courtyard.

"Presumptuous, madam, sit here, you bastard, are you blind?" Mrs. Cui's confidant nanny scolded.

"Madam, no, the master is back." The woman swallowed.

"The master will come back when he comes back, what are you doing yelling? Where have you learned the rules?" Mrs. Cui was just getting angry, and she couldn't help turning black when she heard this.

"No, the master brought a woman back. I heard that she was a concubine rewarded by the emperor to serve the master."

"What?" Mrs. Cui stood up abruptly, knocking down the teacups in her hand in shock.

The emperor rewarded the concubine?To her master?

Mrs. Cui's body swayed, what's going on?

Wang Yuan'er, who was kneeling at the bottom, was also very surprised when she heard it, but from an angle that Mrs. Cui couldn't see, she still evoked a schadenfreude sneer.

The emperor's move is really very kind to her, rewarding the concubine, see if you still have the intention to plot against other people's sons in the future?
"It's you, you bastard..." Mrs. Cui pointed at Wang Yuaner and cursed, she must have encouraged the noble concubine in the palace to blow the pillow.

"Shut up." Master Cui appeared at the gate of the courtyard and walked in angrily. Seeing Wang Yuan'er kneeling there, his face turned slightly pale, he couldn't help being furious.

"Go help Second Mistress up, kneeling under the sun in this scorching heat, do you want to kill her?" He pointed at Dongxue and shouted.

Dong Xue seemed to be pardoned, and hurried to help Wang Yuan'er with Xia Yu. Mrs. Cui's face sank, she stared straight at Master Cui, her chest heaved up and down, she was already extremely angry.

"Second daughter-in-law, go back to your own yard first." Master Cui waved his hand, then looked at Mrs. Cui: "Come with me."

Wang Yuan'er left the main courtyard and winked at Xia Yu, Xia Yu understood, and Dong Xue sent Wang Yuan'er back, while she stayed to watch the excitement and listen to the news.

In the main room of the main courtyard, Mrs. Cui's face turned pale inch by inch after hearing Master Cui's accusation and the emperor's words.

The emperor is standing out for that bastard, it is saying that she is not good, so he rewarded the concubine, so...

Master Cui snorted, and said with a dark face: "I told you a long time ago, you insisted on being such a moth, and now the emperor is dissatisfied with me in his words, do you want to make me lose my job? Now it is also rumored outside Terrible, Hong'er is still young, let's forget about the adoption, and don't think about that folk way, it's not true, so it shouldn't be a joke."

"I'm not doing this for Hong'er, but for whom?" Mrs. Cui burst into tears.

"Because of Hong'er, do you still want to enter the family temple? The emperor thinks highly of the second son now, if he wants to say something more, you just wait for the grand return." Master Cui said angrily.

"He dares? He dares!" Mrs. Cui's eyes widened.

"Now that he is getting more and more wings, why not dare?" Master Cui asked back.

Mrs. Cui choked, and said for a while: "He is not filial, I will sue him for not being filial."

"What's the matter with you? I advise you to play your part, live in peace, and take good care of Hong'er. He will still be able to have a son in the future."

Mrs. Cui's face was full of joy.

At this time, the girl picked up the curtain and came in, saying that the emperor had a reward, and the queen also had an eloquence for his wife.

Master Cui and the two hurriedly went to the middle gate with heavy makeup.

The emperor's reward was for Cui Hong and his daughter Yan, who praised Cui Hong for his purity and kindness, and also praised Yan for her beauty, and rewarded them with pens, ink, gold, jade, and cloth.

Mrs. Cui smiled, and the haze in her heart just now was swept away.

And soon, her smile froze on her face. The empress gave her an excuse to refrain from jealousy, and said that because she wanted to pray for the empress dowager's birthday during the New Year, she asked Mrs. Cui to copy a hundred chapters of King Kong for her. through.

Mrs. Cui accepted Yi's decree with a pale face, and when the servant who delivered the decree left, she stood up, and before she could stand still, she leaned back and became dizzy.

Everyone was in a mess.
Mrs. Cui was ill, this time she was really ill, angry, but she didn't dare to be ill for too long, because she still had to copy scriptures and pray for the queen mother and her elders.

Wang Yuan'er and Cui Yuan went to visit hand in hand, Mrs. Cui did not see them, and ordered that, except for the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year and holidays, Cui Yuan and his wife were not allowed to come to the main courtyard to pay her respects.

Wang Yuaner couldn't ask for more.

As for the issue of adoption, after all this trouble, the old man finally came forward and called Master Cui and Cui Yuan, and the adoption ended here.But he asked Cui Yuan, if Cui Hong still has no son after a hundred years, he should adopt a son or grandson from his house to succeed him in his name.

Cui Yuan thought about it and agreed.

"If the elder brother really does not have a son in a hundred years, it will be fate. At that time, the adoptive will be adopted, and the left and right will be our biological children." Cui Yuan said.

Wang Yuan'er couldn't let go, but she still nodded and said, "If you think it's good, then it's all up to you."

Cui Yuan saw her reluctance, smiled and said: "It seems that we have a long way to go, we must have a few more sons, come on."

Wang Yuan'er sneered, and pushed him: "What about the rebirth in two or three years as agreed?"

Cui Yuan was taken aback, kissed her, and said vaguely: "This, that, let it be, let it be."

The candlelight was flickering, and the room was lingering, whispering, and the summer temperature rose a little bit.
