Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 218 Cui Wenxiao has her own heart

Xie Wanqing sighed and said, "Brother, I'm sorry!"

It was her existence that made him walk on this single-plank bridge, and it was her presence in the previous life that made him die under Xuanyuanming's tricks.

Xie Zian frowned and said, "What are you sorry for? Even if it wasn't because of you, I would still fight for my future. You just made me firm in my direction!"

"But if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have chosen King Jing, would you?" Xie Wanqing asked.

Xie Zi'an said: "Not necessarily, although I don't like King Jing's dead appearance, but considering many aspects, he is indeed a wise, courageous and talented person. It can be said that among the emperor's princes, no one It's the best!"

Xie Wanqing always felt that Xie Zi'an said this to comfort her, because Xie Zi'an had made it clear from the beginning that he was not optimistic about Xuanyuan Jue.

If she hadn't insisted on standing on Xuanyuan Jue's side, he would not have easily made up his mind to assist Xuanyuan Jue.

"Wan'er, even if it's because of you, you and I are brothers and sisters, we are like brothers and sisters, we both prosper and we lose, why do you have to say sorry to me? If we change places, you will definitely do it with me The same choice, isn't it?" Xie Zi'an asked.

Xie Wanqing nodded, swallowed the tightness in her throat, and said: "Brother... don't worry, I will never allow you to have any accidents, we... will definitely succeed!"

"Well, definitely!" Xie Zian also nodded emphatically.

Unexpectedly, just as Princess Xian'an left here, Cui Wenxiao ran over from Cui's house in a hurry.

This is not the first time for Cui Wenxiao to come here. After Xie Wanqing's accident, she ran here again and again, firstly to comfort Xie Wanqing for the Cui family, and secondly because Cui Wenxiao herself and Xie Wanqing Break into hit-and-run.

But Cui Wenxiao would notify Xie Wanqing in advance every time she came, but today she came here suddenly, and she seemed quite anxious.

"Cousin, why are you here?" Xie Wanqing asked unexpectedly.

Cui Wenxiao blushed slightly, and then said: "Let's go in and talk about it!"

Xie Wanqing was a little surprised, but still led Cui Wenxiao into her room, and Xie Zian avoided it because it was inconvenient to participate.

Cui Wenxiao saw that there were only the two of them left, so she took Xie Wanqing's hand and said, "Wan'er, I don't want to marry the prince of Tang!"

When Xie Wanqing heard this, she showed a puzzled expression and asked, "Why is my cousin so determined? Is there anything wrong with Prince Tang's son?"

Cui Wenxiao shook his head, a blush appeared on his face, and said, "It's not that he's bad, but... it's..."

Xie Wanqing saw that she was hesitating, but the straightforward person was shy, so she understood me and asked, "Do you already have someone in mind?"

Cui Wenxiao finally couldn't hold back anymore, nodded and said, "Yes!"

Xie Wanqing smiled and said: "That's a good thing, then why didn't you tell your aunt earlier? It also saves grandma and aunt from worrying about you!"

Cui Wenxiao lowered her head slightly, and said: "I don't know how to tell them, after all... After all, marriage is always the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, how can I make a good decision?"

Xie Wanqing also understands that Cui Wenxiao is a boudoir girl after all, so it's not easy to directly tell her parents that she belongs to her.

Xie Wanqing asked: "Then cousin came to me this time, is it because I want to convey your feelings through my mouth?"

Cui Wenxiao nodded, and although her face was blushing to the point of bleeding, she still mustered up her courage and said, "I know that grandma and mother value you and Cousin Zi'an very much, and they will listen more to what you say, so...so... ...Cousin is so polite!"

At the end of Cui Wenxiao's speech, she had no choice but to salute Xie Wanqing with a blushing face. Xie Wanqing quickly avoided it and said, "Cousin, what are you doing? You and I are sisters. Why do you need such politeness? Can you come here?" Tell me, you trust me, I am too late to be happy!"

After hearing Xie Wanqing's words, Cui Wenxiao let her heart sink into her stomach, and said, "Wan'er, I trust you so much, so I will entrust this matter to you!"

Xie Wanqing asked: "Then who is so blessed to win the heart of my cousin?"

Cui Wenxiao's eyes were slightly erratic, but the smile on the corner of her mouth betrayed her intentions, and she said, "That's...that's the Prince of Wu'an County!"

When Xie Wanqing heard the name of Prince Wu'an, she was really surprised. She didn't expect Cui Wenxiao to have such a fate with Prince Wu'an.

But... In this life, the Cui family did not have any marriage contract with the Prince of Wu'an County, because the Prince of Wu'an County was more inclined to the prince, and because of her, the Cui family and the prince had already broken off.

Will the Prince of Wu'an still go to the Cui family to ask Cui Wenxiao to marry him like in his previous life?
"Cousin...you and the King of Wu'an, are you..." Xie Wanqing asked tentatively. If Cui Wenxiao and the King of Wu'an already have a tacit understanding, then this matter is really troublesome.

In the previous life, when the Cui family fell, Cui Wenxiao, the Princess of Wu'an County, could only hang herself in the end. She didn't know what role the Prince of Wu'an County played in Cui Wenxiao's death, but since Cui Wenxiao could only choose to die in the end, Thinking about it, the Prince of Wu'an County is not someone who can be entrusted.

A man, no matter what kind of distress he faces, if he can't even protect his wife, that's really a sad thing!

Cui Wenxiao immediately shook her head and said, "It's not what you think, there is nothing wrong with him, it's just... just..."

"It's just a love match, a concubine's love?" Xie Wanqing asked.

Cui Wenxiao pursed her lips and smiled, bowed her head in silence, but the answer was already obvious.

Xie Wanqing sighed slightly, she has no control over this matter, it still depends on what the Cui family wants.

"Since Cousin Wen Xiao already has her own heart, I won't get involved in the affairs of Prince Tang's son, but... the Prince of Wu'an may have said that he will go to the Duke's Mansion to propose a marriage? He shouldn't know that this year you want to marry me." Want to discuss marriage?"

Xie Wanqing thought, if the Duke of Wu'an still chooses to marry Cui Wenxiao at this juncture, it at least shows that he is sincere to Cui Wenxiao and is not afraid of the deterrent power of the prince and the emperor!

Cui Wenxiao pursed her lips and said, "I... I don't know!"

"What do you mean you don't know?" Xie Wanqing frowned suspiciously.

Cui Wenxiao said: "He followed the prince out of Beijing, and is responsible for the safety of the prince during his departure!"

After hearing this, Xie Wanqing felt even more uneasy. The King of Wu'an and the crown prince were indeed quite close. This was also an important factor in the marriage between the king of Wu'an and Cui Wenxiao. Because she was the princess, the prince was naturally very happy to let his cronies The king of Wu'an married the Cui family's daughter!

But now the changes are too great, Xie Wanqing can't tell what will happen to this matter!
"Cousin Wen Xiao, do you mean to wait for Prince Wu'an to return to Beijing?" Xie Wanqing asked.

Cui Wenxiao nodded, and said: "My marriage is still pending. As long as the marriage in the Tang Palace fails, naturally I can afford to wait. The crown prince will come back in three or five months at the most when he goes to Beijing to relieve the disaster!"

Xie Wanqing nodded, and said: "Then... I will immediately send someone to tell Princess Xian'an not to mention this matter to Tang Wang and Wangfei for the time being!"

"Wan'er, thank you very much!" Cui Wenxiao said sincerely.

Xie Wanqing smiled and said, "Speaking of which, it's because I'm troublesome that I caused you trouble?"

"No, no... I know you have good intentions, how can I blame you!" Cui Wenxiao immediately shook her head to explain, deeply afraid that Xie Wanqing might misunderstand.

Xie Wanqing smiled and said, "I'm just joking with you, since you're here, let's stay for dinner!"

"No, I have to go back. My mother doesn't allow me to leave the house these days. I ran out secretly!" Cui Wenxiao said embarrassedly.

Xie Wanqing covered her mouth with a smile and said, "It seems that my cousin has a deep affection for Prince Wu'an!"

"You are not allowed to laugh at me!" Cui Wenxiao puffed her cheeks and said.

Xie Wanqing said: "Okay, okay, I don't laugh at you, my cousin is a mild-mannered person, and it is his blessing that the Duke of Wu'an is so infatuated with her cousin!"

When Cui Wenxiao heard this, she was naturally happy in her heart, and said with a smile, "Then I'll leave this to you, I'll go first, and you can tell brother Zi'an later!"

"Okay!" Xie Wanqing agreed, and then sent Cui Wenxiao to the gate of the courtyard, only to be stopped by Cui Wenxiao, telling her not to see her off.

Xie Wanqing turned her head and saw Xie Zi'an standing behind her, sighed, and said, "Cousin is here, let us stop making connections between her and Prince Tang!"

"Oh? She doesn't like Prince Tang?" Xie Zi'an was a little surprised, because he felt that Prince Tang was excellent both in terms of background and character, and he was definitely more than enough to match Cui Wenxiao.

Xie Wanqing said: "She already has someone she likes!"

"Who?" Xie Zi'an asked.

Xie Wanqing said: "Wu'an Duke!"

Xie Zian also frowned because of this answer, and said, "I'm afraid this is not a good thing!"

"Brother also feels bad?" Xie Wanqing asked.

Xie Zi'an sighed, and said, "Wu'an County King and the Crown Prince have been very close since childhood, but now the Cui family has almost clearly parted ways with the Crown Prince. At this time, Wen Xiaoruo and Wu'an County King may not be able to get married!"

"If the King of Wu'an really likes his cousin, maybe he won't give up on this marriage because of the prince!" Xie Wanqing still had a chance, she didn't want Cui Wenxiao to be disappointed, it was obvious that Cui Wenxiao liked Wu'an very much county king.

Xie Zi'an shook his head and said, "Wan'er, you are too naive. The Wu'an County Prince's Mansion has always been attached to the princelings. Since he has participated in the party struggle, how can he get away? Can he use his wealth and life for a marriage?" ?”

Xie Wanqing recalled Cui Wenxiao's final ending in her previous life, which was also very sad. If the Prince of Wu'an really loved Cui Wenxiao deeply, how could he be willing to let her die?
Xie Wanqing said: "But my cousin seems to have a deep-seated love for the Prince of Wu'an, if I can't get what I want, it will be my fault!"

"Hey... After all, it was because of us, but in fact, fundamentally speaking, the Cui family and the prince are not the same way. The determination of the emperor and the prince to suppress the Cui family has never wavered!" Xie Zi'an said.

Xie Wanqing also nodded, she understood this point better than anyone else, even if the Cui family had no intention of disobedience, the emperor and the crown prince would not feel at ease to let an important minister with a different surname take over the military power!

The Cui family is really too deterrent in the southwest. If the Cui family has the slightest thought of disobedience, it will almost be a devastating threat to the emperor!

An army of one million is still an elite division. The emperor probably has no confidence in gaining the upper hand in front of such an army!
