Chapter 1140 1140: The damage has been done (Part 2) [Please vote]
“What is ‘Versailles’?”
Cui Hui guessed that it might be a dialect slang unique to the North.
"The so-called 'Versailles' is when someone uses euphemistic expressions to inadvertently show superiority. No one who is not blind will think that your ex-husband's face is really no longer youthful. . "If a face full of collagen in the age of twenty-five or six is old, how can a person in his seventies or eighties claim to be old?
This is not Versailles, what is it?
Cui Hui silently wrote down this word, then silently lowered his tone, and softly defended his ex-husband: "... It's not that I speak for him, he may really think that he is not fresh enough... It's just that I understand, but he understands me. mentioned many times in front of This... Tsk, the clay figure still has three parts of earthy nature, how can I not feel angry? His aging is fake, but I am real!"
Shen Tang: "..."
< br>You adults have quite complicated feelings.
Cui Hui’s eyebrows were filled with sadness.
At first glance, there are a lot of stories waiting to be told.
Perhaps Shen Tang was born lacking this strength, and she didn't quite understand: "If that's the case, why did you still reconcile with him?"
If it was just this point, it could be explained away.
Cui Hui brought two jugs of wine from nowhere, picked up one of the jars and patted open the red cloth wine seal. Niu took a sip before starting to talk.
“Well, there are many reasons. Although each one is insignificant, but all taken together, it was a dead end for me at that time... Looking back now, maybe I was unwilling to accept it. Because of this man, I changed from a A rough and tumble woman learns how to be the mistress of a wealthy family and thinks she has done enough Good. Even if it is not as good as those women from aristocratic families who have been trained as mistresses since childhood, it has not embarrassed him and Mr. Cui. However, after all these years, my parents-in-law are still dissatisfied and the clan members are not convinced... Is it because I am not capable enough to convince the public. ?”
Cui Hui once fell into self-doubt and was emotionally consumed.
She said: "At first I suspected that it was my problem, but I soon realized that it had nothing to do with ability, it was purely about blood."
Lack of ability can be improved through learning.
If her bloodline is not enough, what can she do?
She cannot change the prejudices of the Cui family.
"...I was naive at that time and thought that I would have the last laugh. No matter how many opinions my parents-in-law had against me, they could not stop their son from not being of the same mind as them, and his elbows were only towards me, an outsider. Cui's behavior The descendants of me will all have my blood. No matter how much they dislike me, they can only hold their noses and admit it." Cui Hui said. Comforting herself, "until the king... Well, she was still a royal princess who had just joined the feudal lordship and was guarding a barren territory. She was short of everyone in the house... She approached Mrs. Cui. Mrs. Cui was there She saw value in her, and sure enough, she rose to prominence once, and now she is the leader of the country as a woman..."
"Everyone in the Cui family hopes that the old relationship between their family leader and this king will rekindle, and they also hope that I can abdicate in favor of someone worthy of my honour."
Cui Hui has a good drinker, but he is a bit drunk at the moment and sneers disdainfully, "I can I really feel sorry for my ex-husband. He was newly married to his beloved wife and had a deep relationship. However, due to the conflict between his father and the royal family, the couple was forced to separate. After his wife became prosperous, his elders hoped that they could get back together... The child they gave birth to was not a son, but an Israeli servant? Didn't they ask for trouble back then? If you let your son join in, your son will only be one of the male favorites of the king... No matter how you look at it, you will lose money."
These became the last straw for Cui Hui.
Cui Hui covered his forehead and closed his eyes tightly.
The tone was lazy and drunk: "Hahaha, I am also afraid of the methods of these aristocratic families. I am afraid that one day I will be forced to die of illness and become his family's memorial tablet. Who would love this bird cage of Cui's family? Who can live there? However, I was afraid at first to say something embarrassing. I'm afraid of starving to death outside. Although I say that life in the aristocratic family is depressing, but I have servants to serve me when I go in and out, and I deserve to be treated like a bird. If you are used to a bird cage like this, can you still survive if it flies out?”
Fortunately, she finally flew out.
No matter how long you live in an expensive bird cage, its wings have not deteriorated.
I only occasionally think of the three chicks still in the bird cage and their father, but let her go back to live in the bird cage? No, she couldn't accept it. She would rather freeze to death outside.
She was born to belong to the world outside the birdcage.
No matter how magnificent the bird cage is, it is not her destination.
Shen Tang looked at Cui Hui, who had hugged his knees and huddled together at some point, and felt a rare sense of guilt in his heart. If it weren't for him, Cui Hui wouldn't have to go back to this place, let alone get entangled with the people in the past. Shen Tang whispered: "I'm sorry..."
Cui Hui covered his forehead for a moment, tilted his head and looked at the well-behaved Lord Shen - Shen Tang's current appearance is not too aggressive. The color is a bit like Xiaojiabiyu's gentleness. When he doesn't speak, he looks really pitiful and cute.
"What are you apologizing for?"
But I was panicking inside.
What did I say that caused the king to apologize?
"I know you don't want to have any more entanglements with Ms. Cui..."
"Don't think so much, I don't get up early for no good reason." Cui Hui waved her hands hurriedly, she didn't want to be misunderstood as a noble and honorable person. As soon as he came up, he said, "How can two kinds of people sleep in the same bed? The person named Cui is not a good person... I mean - my ex-husband is not a good person, and I am not a good person either. Almost. I just want to seize an opportunity. I am not willing to accept it."
Shen Tang: "..."
Cui Hui shook his head: "Actually, I also have a talent for cultivation, but. She is too old and has lost hope..."
There have been some women from Qi State who have been able to practice in recent years, but she is not included. She is too old. Cui Hui also knew that she could turn to her ex-husband for help. As long as her ex-husband was willing to become an official and take power, it would not be impossible to get enough national fortunes to cleanse her marrow and bones.
But her pride did not allow her to say this.
Elsewhere?
She, an elderly woman, had no chance.
It wasn't until this errand was placed in front of her that the idea that had been buried deep in her memory came back to life, occupying her mind bit by bit. By some mistake, Cui Hui agreed to this nearly impossible task - even if the opponent was her ex-husband.
Shen Tang said: "Why don't you tell Shanxiao?"
If Cui Xiao knew, he would be more energetic in his work.
Cui Huidao: "My mother's experience tells me that my father is unreliable; my experience tells me that the same is true for my husband. The wings grow on his body, and he can only fly by waving himself..."
Instead of seeking the protection of wings, it is better to give birth to your own wings.
Cui Hui drank both jars of wine alone.
She leaned on Shen Tang's shoulder and closed her eyes to take a nap.
Shen Tang was about to help Cui Hui in when a strange smell approached the yard. She pretended not to notice and fulfilled her duties as a little girl. Until that breath appeared a few steps away: "Give her to me, you go down and rest."
Shen Tang seemed startled by this voice.
He raised his head in panic and met the eyes of the Cui family head.
The head of the family did not wait for Shen Tang to answer. He bent down to pick up the drunk Cui Hui and went straight inside. The door closed automatically with a snap. Shen Tang shrugged, yawned and went to sleep.
Inside the house——
The head of the Cui family stared blankly at Cui Hui, who was shrouded in moonlight.
Cui Hui, who was sleeping wildly, was not as thick-skinned as he was and couldn't pretend.
Rolled over and covered his head with the quilt.
He asked in a muffled voice: "What are you looking at?"
The head of the Cui family said firmly: "You are not drunk after all."
Cui Hui: "..."
Her ex-husband knew only too well the upper limit of her drinking capacity. Two jars of wine really couldn't get her drunk. Cui Hui became angry when his disguise was exposed. He reached out and grabbed a jade pillow and threw it out: "If you're not drunk, you're not drunk. I'm just leaning against the maid to sleep for a while. Does it bother you?" The jade pillow seemed to hit something and made a muffled sound. .
Cui Hui hid in the quilt for a while, then suddenly opened it.
Oh, my ex-husband’s forehead was hit and turned red.
"Who can I show you the bitter meat plan?"
"I can show it to you, but you will never feel sorry for me."
Cui Hui pursed his lips and asked him: "Are you wronged outside?"< br>
"Zhao Jun is dead."
Cui Hui subconsciously thought about who the "Zhao Jun" he mentioned was, but couldn't remember. It wasn't because she had a bad memory, but because she said: "Your friends named Zhao range from 100 to 50. What do you think?" Which? ”
The head of the Cui family said: "Which one doesn't matter."
Cui Hui: "..."
I really feel sorry for my ex-husband's friends named Zhao.
She was curious: "How did he die?"
The head of the Cui family: "He was abandoned because he was worthless."
"Abandoned by whom?"
"Abandoned by everyone." When the head of the Cui family said this, his expression was somewhat pitiful. He didn't care whether Cui Hui understood it or not, and he said it as if no one else was watching, " ...if no one acquiesces in sacrificing this chess piece Son, how can the Zhao family mourn so quietly? Even if I leave for a few days, he will not be able to fight back. Therefore, he was killed as a bargaining chip."
Zhao family. Someone inside was attracted by the king.
The struggle between the main branch and the side branches also resulted in a complete victory for the side branches.
Zhao just needs to change the head of the family, and her life will still be peaceful. No, maybe it will be better than before. After this incident, the Zhao family's past messes were forcibly settled by the king, and they secretly sided with the king, which naturally brought many benefits.
"Are you sad that a rabbit dies and a fox grieves, something harms its own kind?"
The head of the Cui family said: "Maybe."
The ex-wife who was sacrificed by the powerful, the current Zhao Jun, may also have himself in the future : "Kewu, you shouldn't come back. Staying with Qi Yuanliang may be the best way out for you..."
Cui Hui was shocked by the sudden words of the Cui family head. .
Her face turned pale and her heart was pounding.
"What did you say?"
"Qi Yuanliang, I have been looking for you before." The head of the Cui family said in a calm tone, "Although I don't know what your relationship is, many years ago, Qi Yuanliang once I looked for you. But he didn’t find any clues and was sent back by my people.”
The power of the Northwest Gods Association is not easy to use in the southwest.
Similarly, the southwest forces are not easy to use in other areas.
He only knew that Cui Hui and Qi Yuanliang were related.
How deep and entangled it is, I don’t know.
"What's the best way out? You're still as arrogant as before. Whether it's good or not is up to me, Cui Kewu, to decide!" Cui Hui secretly curled his fingers, forcing himself to calm down, his eyes cold, " Yes, I have a history with him, so what? When Qi Yuanliang came to me, it was because he felt guilty about me, and he owed me something! If a woman wants to stay, who is Qi Yuanliang, and who are you? He looks for me like a needle in a haystack, so I should see what he has done for you? Can't you bear it?"
"In my case, you two are the same person."
Cui Hui said plausibly.
“I can let go of you, why can’t I let go of him?”
Cui Hui's words were half true and half false, and he spoke them righteously.
Qi Yuanliang does owe her.
In this case, it is not too much to let her take advantage of it.
The head of the Cui family had only made some speculations before, but when he heard Cui Hui admit it personally, he still felt sour in his heart - he did not expect that the love debt on Ke Wu was not only a senior brother who died early and did not even pay a visit to the church, but also Pray for Yuanliang! I used to be angry that a dead person could still be in my way, but now it's better, a living person is here!
“That’s not what I meant.” The head of the Cui family said softly, with a hint of flattery, “It’s just that Qi Country is also a place of right and wrong nowadays, and I don’t dare to say that I can protect you.”
"I don't need you to protect me. As long as no one leaks the past grudges between me and Qi Yuanliang, I won't be safe, and I won't be taken hostage by inexplicable forces. In fact, it would be in vain if I were caught." Cui Hui There was sarcasm in his words, and his words were undisguised disgust, "You men are really interesting, even if you are close to each other, The next day, people from all over the world could be "in touch with each other". Qi Yuanliang also said something similar. Unfortunately, when I told him that I was just the concubine of the Cui family, he knew that I had no use value... Haha, what guilt. Ah, what true feelings--"
Cui Hui raised his hand and pinched the chin of the Cui family head.
Forcing the other person to look directly into your eyes.
Her fingers left clear fingerprints on the other person's face, giving him a vague sense of brokenness and vulnerability of being abused. Cui Hui forced himself to continue: "You and him, do you have such a thing?"
"I do!"
"You said you had it?" Cui Hui smiled and knelt down to look at him levelly, and touched the red mark on his forehead with his fingers. "Since you said you had it, why did you deliberately test me just now? Do you think, I'm so stupid, so stupid, and I'm still willing to turn around and be a pawn for a man?"
"I didn't!"
The head of the Cui family said this in shame, Extremely dissatisfied with Cui Hui's speculation. Even though he had tried all his plans, he had never plotted against Cui Hui. In her eyes, he looks like this? She actually thought she was suspecting that she was instigated by others when she returned home?
Even so, Cui Hui's eyes were still full of disbelief.
The head of the Cui family blurted out.
"I just care about you and him!"
I want to ask but don't dare to ask, for fear of hearing an answer I don't want to hear.
It would be better not to ask.
The answer was more infuriating than expected.
Cui Hui was startled. Did they just talk like a chicken?
She thought that Cui was testing whether she and Qi Yuanliang had a cooperative relationship, but it turned out that he purely cared about whether Qi Yuanliang and her had "rekindled their old relationship"? Cui Hui let go of his hand: "What do you care about? You and I have been together for many years, do you have the qualifications to care?"
One sentence made the person's face turn pale.
