Chapter 86

Cui Wenxiao went back to the house in a huff, Xie Wanqing also followed in, and after making Cui Wenxiao back away, she said, "Cousin, you have to make plans early!"

"What plans do I have? She can turn the world upside down? It's nothing more than going to my father to complain. A cat is worth making a fuss about?" Cui Wenxiao didn't take this matter seriously at all.

Xie Wanqing shook her head and said, "What I'm afraid of is that things are not as simple as we thought. Since she can do such a heinous thing, she must hope to drag you into trouble!"

"What do you mean?" Cui Wenxiao frowned, puzzled.

Xie Wanqing said: "The cat is a tribute, it was given by the emperor to the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine was afraid that the cat would hurt someone, so she sent it out of the palace and gave it to my uncle, do you understand?"

"You mean, she's going to make a big deal out of it and convict me of deceiving the emperor?" Cui Wenxiao asked.

Xie Wanqing nodded, and said: "Uncle will definitely punish you severely in order to suppress this matter, so that Cui Wenyu can shut up!"

"Damn you stinky girl, I just said she has a lot of tricks, you still don't believe me!" Cui Wenxiao's face turned red with anger, and she gritted her teeth, wishing she could beat Cui Wenyu violently.

Xie Wanqing sighed, and said: "Whoever has such a concubine in his family is not a good thing, but Uncle Suo Xing is not the most confused, although he has a preference for Aunt Yao, but he will not spoil his concubine." About your wife, as long as your aunt is still there, you don't have to worry too much!"

The difference between her and Cui Wenxiao is that her mother is gone, which is why the Liu family can be so rampant, but if her mother is still there, no matter how weak-tempered, Xie Chongguang would not dare to promote the Liu family to such a high position.

Seeing Xie Wanqing's expression, Cui Wenxiao knew that she had thought of her own sadness again, and quickly comforted her: "Wan'er, don't worry too much, my aunt is gone and I can't protect you, but you still have We, as well as the imperial concubine!"

"I know, so I'm not afraid, but it is still necessary to be cautious. Born in a family like ours, we must be careful in everything. No matter how strong we are, we still have to rely on ourselves in the end!"

Xie Wanqing said to Cui Wenxiao very seriously, in fact, Cui Wenxiao is similar to her, or even higher than her background, so she will definitely face many tests in the future.

However, Cui Wenxiao was luckier than herself in that she did not marry into the royal family. Although she also entered the Gaomen Mansion as a daughter-in-law, she could not suffer any grievances based on the power of the Cui family at first.

But in the end, Bailuo and Cui Wenxiao of the Cui family were also divorced, and in the end they could not bear the humiliation and hanged themselves to death.

Thinking of those things, Xie Wanqing's heart ached, even though it was said that the culprits for the downfall of the Cui family were Emperor Xuanyuan Zhen and Xuanyuan Ming.

But the fuse was himself. If he hadn't been too stupid to listen to other people's words and was taken as a gun, how could the emperor catch the Cui family's handle, finally bring down the imperial concubine, and drive the Cui family into a desperate situation?

"Wan'er, what's the matter with you?" Cui Wenxiao looked at Xie Wanqing's suddenly pale and dark face, almost frightened.

Xie Wanqing came back to her senses, hurriedly took her breath away, smiled, and shook her head: "It's nothing, I just thought of something and felt uncomfortable, cousin, no matter when it comes, you must remember to protect yourself so that you can Let your loved ones rest assured!"

"Wan'er, the way you talk is weird, don't scare me!" Cui Wenxiao asked Xie Wanqing with a worried expression.

Xie Wanqing showed a gentle smile, and said: "I'm just feeling emotional, there are poisonous snakes and beasts around us, if we are not careful, if we hurt ourselves, wouldn't it hurt our loved ones and make our enemies faster?"

"Well, I see, so what should I do about this matter?" Cui Wenxiao asked.

Xie Wanqing thought for a while and said, "Cousin, would you like to listen to me?"

"Of course, just say what you want. Between you and me, do you still need to be polite?" Cui Wenxiao said.

Xie Wanqing then said: "Of course she is going to resort to cruel tricks. She won't go to her uncle right now. She must make a public noise about the matter. Uncle will naturally come forward and ask her. After crying, uncle's heart will naturally turn to her!"

Cui Wenxiao nodded, and said: "You see her very clearly, this girl has too many eyes, she is hard to deal with!"

"So now, you must prepare as soon as possible. What happened last night must have been done by her master and servant, but the evidence must have been destroyed, but her evidence was destroyed, we can get some more evidence! "

Xie Wanqing knew that the top priority was to muddy the water, the muddier the better, Cui Wenyu could not drag Cui Wenxiao into the water until the water was muddy.

Cui Wenxiao asked, "How?"

"The cat was poisoned to death, go get some cat food, get the poison in and then..."

Xie Wanqing approached Cui Wenxiao and explained the details clearly.

Cui Wenxiao nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and finally said: "Wan'er, your method is very good! Then Cui Wenyu's intentions are not righteous, and we can't use proper methods to deal with her. This is the best!"

"Well, I didn't mean to harm her, but I just muddied the water. You should hurry up and get ready! Remember to find someone you trust the most. The fewer people you know, the better!"

Xie Wanqing instructed that it's not that she hasn't seen people around her betray her, so it's best to be cautious.

Cui Wenxiao nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll order someone to do it right away!"

After finishing speaking, Cui Wenxiao went out, came back after a while, and said with a smile: "I have explained everything, let's wait and see the good show!"

Xie Wanqing asked: "Is there any problem?"

"No, I saved that girl's life, she can't have second thoughts about me!" Cui Wenxiao said confidently.

Xie Wanqing nodded, and said: "That's good, then don't worry, let's see what's going on with Cui Wenyu!"

After the two of them got up to freshen up, they ate some breakfast casually, and then they went to greet Mrs. Cui together.

Mrs. Cui greeted Xie Wanqing warmly, knowing that she and sister Cui Wenxiao got along very well, so she was very happy.

Just as they were chatting speculatively, they heard Mrs. Cui's eldest girls both come to report: "Old lady, I heard that Yimei Garden is in trouble!"

Xie Wanqing and Cui Wenxiao looked at each other and chose to remain silent.

Mrs. Cui frowned and asked: "What do you mean by making a fuss? What happened to the third girl?"

"I heard that her cat died, and she cried so hard that she couldn't breathe. Aunt Yao rushed over, and for some reason, she also fell down crying. Now it's a mess, and the Duke is also alarmed!"

Shuangshuang didn't know what happened there, so she only told Mrs. Cui what she found out.

Mrs. Cui frowned even tighter, and said: "This girl is getting more and more frivolous. Is a cat worth crying to death? And that Yao family is also so inconsiderate, I really don't have to worry about it." of!"

"The servant girl was very angry when she heard that the Duke had gone, and she seemed to have mentioned the eldest lady. The servant girl was busy coming back to report to the old lady, so she didn't ask carefully, or the servant girl would go back and ask more clearly to reply to the old lady!" Shuangshuang said very sensiblely. .

Mrs. Cui took a look at Cui Wenxiao and Xie Wanqing, and found that their expressions were normal, and the corner of Cui Wenxiao's mouth had a hint of sarcasm, so she understood that there were some details in this that she didn't know about.

So he said: "Go and ask first, if there is nothing wrong, then report to me!"

"Yes, servant girl is going!" Shuangshuang resigned and retreated.

Mrs. Cui then asked: "Girl Xiao, tell me, what's going on? I remember that girl Wen Yu was clamoring to sleep with you last night, why did she start making a fuss so early in the morning?"

Cui Wenxiao's natural way couldn't hide it from her grandmother, so she stood up and said, "If you go back to grandma, it is indeed my granddaughter's fault!"

Mrs. Cui was stunned for a moment, the eldest granddaughter who was stubborn on weekdays, how could she be well-behaved today, and she was the first to admit her mistake, which is really rare.

But hearing what she said, Mrs. Cui was very relieved and said: "What's going on? You can make it clear that it is your fault. I will judge for myself. A quarrel between sisters is inevitable. You are the first sister. You should be able to tolerate it, you don’t need to be as knowledgeable as them!”

Mrs. Cui's words are naturally telling Cui Wenxiao that as the eldest daughter of the Duke's mansion, she must love her younger siblings, but she must not lose the demeanor of a legitimate daughter. There is no need to be afraid that the family has no rules so that the legitimate daughter will be treated as a concubine. practice.

Cui Wenxiao said: "Yes, Wenyu rested at my place yesterday, and because I slept with Wan'er in the same bed, I let her rest on the soft couch, who would have thought that the next morning, she would bring My cat died, it looked like it was poisoned to death, Wenyu was crying endlessly, no matter how much others tried to persuade her, it was useless!"

"Did you die in your yard?" Mrs. Cui asked.

Cui Wenxiao nodded, and said, "Yes, so Wenyu probably thought I was the one who killed the cat!"

Mrs. Cui nodded to show that she understood, and then asked: "Then the girls in your yard have already asked. Didn't the person on duty last night find anything?"

"It just so happened that no one heard anything, and the cat died without a sound. According to the third sister, the cat died in her clothes!" Cui Wenxiao said.

Mrs. Cui knew that someone must be lying, either Cui Wenxiao or Cui Wenyu. The two sisters might have become enemies!

She has always known that her three granddaughters are at odds with each other, but she also turns a blind eye to it. It is normal for a concubine and a concubine to find it difficult to communicate.

But if the trouble is too ugly, she can't sit idly by. This matter... She still needs to think about how to deal with it!
Cui Wenxiao didn't defend herself either, but just told the truth. She knew Mrs. Cui was just and strict and would never wrong her, so she didn't need to say much.

Mrs. Cui hadn't figured out why, so Mrs. Cui brought Cui Wenyu to find her.

Cui Guogong's complexion was not good-looking, and Cui Wenyu was still weeping faintly, but he greeted the old lady politely.

Mrs. Cui already knew about the matter, but she pretended to be ignorant and asked: "What's the matter? The third girl is crying so miserably, but who bullied you?"

Cui Wenyu just cried and didn't speak. Cui Guogong looked at Cui Wenxiao and said, "Mother, the cat I gave to the third girl was poisoned to death by Wen Xiao's people!"

Cui Wenxiao was already convicted by speaking, and Cui Wenxiao didn't even have the slightest room for refutation!
