Chapter 1317 1317: Like the Bastard in the Wishing Fountain (Part 1) [Please vote]
When people are extremely speechless, they really laugh.
"What did you just say Cui Zhishan was doing right now?"
In the capital of King Qi, there was a hall in the residence of a high-ranking official.
If there are any old ministers of the Qi State here, they will recognize that everyone present is their former colleagues. Although they may not all have high official positions, they have one thing in common - these people all come from aristocratic families and have a close relationship with Cui Zhi. We all have a good relationship and we advance and retreat together.
Each of them regarded Cui Zhi as the leader of the family, but they did not expect that the leader would play tricks on everyone at the critical moment!
This matter started two hours ago.
The royal capital Kaicheng surrendered, and Shen Tang took over the royal court.
They were very enthusiastic and gave them a big gift as soon as they arrived.
When I opened the gift and took a look, I broke out in a cold sweat.
He had no idea how such a deadly thing could fall into Shen Tang's hands and be used as a "gift" by her to intimidate him. Even after torture and screening, the spy was not caught. In desperation, he wanted to discuss with Cui Zhi to see what the next move would be.
They can’t do it if they don’t hurry.
It is not dark yet, and all eight gates of the royal capital are locked.
Don’t ask, just ask that this is the curfew in King Kang’s capital! However, a discerning person would think that this was a plan to close the door and beat the dog, and round up the people to kill! Who to kill? People with ulterior motives dare not think about this issue in detail, for fear that the butcher's knife will fall on their heads.
Everyone is gathered here, only Cui Zhi is missing.
After waiting for a while, Cui Zhi didn't come. Instead, he waited for the retainer sent to invite Cui Zhi. At this time, they didn't think Cui Zhi was deliberately not coming. After all, Cui Zhi was a grasshopper on the same rope as them. Unexpectedly, the disciples said that Cui Zhi refused to come.
My house is now a mess.
The boss of Cui Zhifu, Yan, told the diners very apologetically that the master's family had something serious and he would not be able to get away for a while.
Hearing this, the doorman was frightened, and his brain almost went blank, for fear that Kang Guo would use Cui as a chicken to scare the monkeys: [Can you please go in and help spread the word, saying that my master’s family is at stake right now. The head of the Cui family needs help to make decisions on important matters. 】
Si Yan lowered his voice and said helplessly: [Even the little ones don’t dare to go in. I saw something I shouldn’t have seen, for fear of losing my life. 】
The color drained from the doorman's face.
Before leaving, he stuffed Si Lan with money and used money to pry open his mouth. Si Yan was helpless, and Xiao Xiao revealed what was going on in the house - the eldest lady came back with a few male favorites who were not worthy of publicity to meet the parents and wanted to reconcile with the Yuan family. The parents were so angry on the spot that the Three Corpses Gods jumped. , I had a quarrel with my daughter in public, and the quarrel got louder and louder, saying that I wanted to whip my male favorite...
The eldest lady would definitely refuse.
Father and daughter had a quarrel.
You say something to me.
It started with the divorce between the mistress and their parents, which resulted in the three siblings of the eldest wife being deprived of their mother's protection since childhood, and being bullied and shunned by the clan overtly and covertly. The eldest lady said how she had to compromise, how she was cautious, how she forced herself to be considerate of her father, and how she endured missing her mother. She lacked too much love, so she had a problem with finding more male favorites for herself?
Faced with his daughter’s accusation, Cui Zhi felt even more aggrieved.
He is both a father and a mother. He is the head of the Cui family during the day, and he has to deal with three children at night. He has no worries about everything from life to school. Now he has to face such a heart-wrenching greeting from his daughter? Have you given me less love? It's OK for a daughter to have a male favorite, but it's not allowed to bring a male favorite to a family banquet. As a man with an orthodox education, he can't accept something nameless and statusless appearing in such a formal occasion! These male favorites were all sent out by him, and these cheating people actually deceived the superiors and concealed them!
The eldest son and the second son were involved in the quarrel.
The only person in the family who was not affected was the mistress.
The diners were dumbfounded.
For a moment, I didn’t know whether such private news would be easily revealed by Si Yan, or whether it would be a major earthquake that shocked the family. Cui Zhi actually spent his energy on such a place. Si Yan: [...That’s not all, the eldest lady wants to make peace. 】
Guest: 【Heli? 】
Si Yan said: [The parents disagree. 】
To be precise, Heli agreed, but what he disagreed with was that her daughter wanted to give the boy the status of being her favorite! It's not about the concubine's status, but I want to straighten one of them. This is really a big deal. Ten thousand parents disagree. They must either maintain the status quo or find a well-matched descendant from a well-matched family to be the first wife. In short, she is not allowed to marry a concubine, and she is absolutely not allowed to straighten the concubine's house!
The Cui family does not have this tradition!
Father and daughter are now quarreling fiercely.
So, Cui Zhi had no time to come out for the appointment.
"Cui Zhishan, this capricious bastard!" No one thought it would be such a ridiculous reason. What's the trick? Is the continuity of the family more important, or is it more important to care about the people in your daughter's room? I'm afraid Cui Zhi didn't come here on purpose because he was using the topic to his advantage!
Guessed correctly, but there is no reward.
"But, but, what's the benefit of him doing this? He stabs us in the back at a critical moment, and he's not afraid of revenge in the future?"
Backstabbing them just hurts personal feelings.
But he stabbed the Saga Group in the back, is he out of his mind?
Some people gasped and gritted their teeth: "Why are you afraid of retaliation in the future? Cui is afraid that he will take refuge with Shen behind our backs. He may even use us as traitors and sacrifice us in exchange for Cui's status. Absolutely! He has been confident for a long time!”
If not, it would be difficult to explain Cui Zhi’s behavior.
Everyone looked gloomy thinking of the clue Shen Tang sent.
Could it be that Cui gave these clues?
No, it’s unlikely. Cui doesn’t have this ability either.
Whether this matter has anything to do with the Cui family or not, they have completely broken up with the Cui family. Although he was angry when he was stabbed in the back, there was nothing he could do about it. Now it was difficult to unite and kill Cui. Ms. Cui found Shen Tang as her backer and could not move him for a while.
Just because you can’t move now doesn’t mean you won’t be able to move in the future.
Mrs. Cui, Cui Zhishan, let’s have a long life together!
On the surface, this incident did not cause any trouble. The people who received Shen Tang's gifts did not dare to complain, and they did not make any small moves in private. They were afraid that Shen Tang would catch him and made them tremble for several days.
The culprit behind all this rarely has a free day, so he takes the white dragon fish suit and prepares to sneak out of the city. She was so busy when she entered the city that she had no time to take a good look outside. I rode my motorcycle slowly and leisurely to the city gate, but the city gate was blocked.
Shen Tang could only jump off the back of the mule and wait for the team to clear.
She stuffed a candy in her mouth, and then stuffed a handful into the mouth of the motorcycle. She looked at the motorcade curiously: "Which family is it?"
With her superb hearing, she could hear slurping in the queue.
The lingering tone of resentment seems to have endless grievances.
Had it not been for the exquisite decoration of the carriage, Shen Tang would have suspected that they were abducting and selling women from good families. It is human nature to gossip and watch the excitement. Common people may not be interested in important matters of family and country, but when it comes to gossip about private homes and things about men and women, their numb eyes will light up.
“I heard that she is the daughter of the Cui family who was divorced and returned to her natal family.”
Shen Tang subconsciously thought of the Cui family behind Cui Zhi.
After asking in detail, it turned out to be the same Cui.
"What happened, so much so that you gave up?"
The troublemaker looked at her face and her foreign accent, so he said, "You don't even know this? These days , the Cui girls who were divorced were all slapped together. One of them was married for more than ten years and had seven children. Shen Tang was also divorced. Make a move.
Ask: "There should be a reason to divorce your wife, right?"
The troublemaker said: "Why do these superiors need a reason to do things? Cui has also canceled several marriages during this period."
Cui just divorced his wife, while others directly divorced their wives.
I don’t know what happened to these families. They broke up without any warning and assumed a posture of never having any contact with each other. A daughter of the Cui family couldn't stand the unwarranted humiliation, so she hanged herself from her husband's house that day.
Speaking of this, the good people are sighing. However, you can still guess.
There was an old scholar in shabby clothes in the crowd who whispered: "There is nothing new under the sun. Cui's Prince Consort had to reconcile with Wang Ji because of the conflict between Wang Ting and Cui. This time I guess it is the same.”
It’s not that the two families have a good relationship when their descendants get married, but that the younger generations get married and become husband and wife when the relationship between the two families is good. Now that the relationship between the two families has deteriorated, women who marry into another family will not be abandoned, and it will not be easy for them to stay in a hostile environment in the future.
"If you don't leave, you might die of illness one day."
Everyone who heard this took a breath of cold air.
"...This is too cruel. After all, I have given birth to a child for my own family. If I want to kill him, I will kill him. Don't my children hate me?"
Ordinary people simply cannot imagine such an extreme situation.
"What do you hate? You don't even look at the surnames of your children."
"Oh, it's so pitiful. There is a distant relative who works in the house. I heard that the daughter-in-law of that family just gave birth. , people took the child away and She was kicked out. The screams for mercy were really frightening, but she was not afraid of retribution?" It is not giving people a way to survive. If someone hadn't stopped him with quick eyesight and quick hands, that person would have hit the doorpost with his head.
Everyone is also more curious about the contradiction.
Why do you need to be so deadly?
Ordinary people don't know, but Shen Tang knows it clearly. She is even half responsible for this matter. Identity verification requires everyone to get out of the car and undergo inspection. Shen Tang also saw the owner of the sob. He looked like he was only in his early twenties, with a haggard look on his face, no decoration on his temples, and his whole person was in a state of despair. The other party couldn't bear the seemingly invisible prying eyes around him, so he covered his face with a handkerchief, dying of shame and anger.
Shen Tang suddenly lost his mood for the white dragon fish suit.
Motor bumped her head against her to no avail.
Jimo Qiudao: "This is not His Highness's fault."
"I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me. Their experiences were also indirectly influenced by me... The Cui girls were abandoned not because the Cui girls were incompetent, but because their surname was Cui, and because they wanted to give Cui a Zhi slap... How can Cui Zhi be willing to be humiliated? "
Just canceling the engagement is not enough to retaliate.
The simplest way is to retaliate in kind.
Come on, let’s hurt each other.
Shen Tang naturally cannot sit back and watch this situation happen.
It can be considered that she made up for it a little bit.
Cui Zhi did not expect Shen Tang to intervene in this matter.
He guessed her purpose in his mind.
Shen Tang would like to ask Cui Zhi how he plans to deal with it. Is he going to remarry them as quickly as possible, or is he going to let the male members of the clan abandon his daughter? Cui Zhi thought of both methods, but gave them up due to various concerns. It's not that he is soft-hearted, but that he can't find a better or more suitable family than their ex-husband's family for a while. How can he not be ridiculed for decades for marrying young?
Forcing men to divorce is unrealistic.
Not many of the Cui family had concubines, and even if they did, there were only one or two. When husband and wife get along more, their relationship will naturally become deeper and it will not be easy to separate. Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. Cui Zhi naturally couldn't bear it.
Shen Tang explained his purpose: "If they want to remarry, I can grant them a marriage. If they don't want to, they can also arrange for another arrangement."
"Shen Jun wants to grant a marriage?"
"Kang Guo has many single men of the right age."
Cui Zhi was silent for a moment.
Marriage requires a well-matched family, so Cui Zhi naturally wants to expand his selection to the Kangguo circle, but this is not easy to mention.
It is easy to give people clues about ulterior motives.
Shen Tang took the initiative to mention it, but the nature was completely different.
There is no obstacle to Cui's integration into Kang State.
“However, it must be voluntary, and being willing is not acceptable.” Not everyone has a rebellious mentality. If the front foot is abandoned by the husband’s family, the back foot can think about it and remarry happily. Shen Tang actually wanted to hold a banquet with the nature of a blind date. It was best to have mutual intentions, so as to avoid a blind marriage. However, her good intentions seemed to others to be unnecessary, and the marriage was already a great honor.
Cui Zhi agreed: "This is natural."
The younger ones refused to remarry, and their emotions could not be relieved.
There is someone who is in his early thirties.
Shen Tang took a look at the relationship between this person and Cui Zhi: "An old fox is an old fox, and it is true that the wealth does not flow to outsiders."
In terms of relationship, this woman is Cui Zhi's cousin .
Didn't Cui Zhi put in a lot of effort to convince her?
Cui Xiaodao: "This is really not the case."
This is the Cui family tradition.
In other words, this is the tone within the family.
The relationship between husband and wife for many years is real, but the calculation of interests is also real. Her husband's family was ruthless. She had already lost her family, dignity and dignity, and she could not afford to lose her future again. Shen Tang personally agreed to the marriage, even if it was for her own sake, she couldn't deal with it casually. Even if the relationship between the two of them is not harmonious after marriage, Shen Tang will force the man to be kind to her.
Shen Tang: "..."
Why does she feel that this plot looks familiar? ? ?
Kang's courtiers were still very concerned about Shen Tang's personal feelings, and from time to time would give Shen Tang portraits of promising seedlings. Their background may not be that superior, but their external conditions, character, talent, and cultivation are definitely something they can take advantage of.
Shen Tang gave Cui Zhi a bunch of gifts.
The piles were piled high into a hill, almost touching the rafters.
"Let your sister take a look, one by one."
Cui Zhi was at a loss rare in his life.
"Which one of the photos will work?"
Shen Tang said angrily: "I know you have a lot of strength and means, but the strong and powerful melon is not sweet, a man and a woman need to be a man. It’s good to be in love with your concubine. Cast a wide net and you’ll always be able to pick something that everyone will be satisfied with...”
The exhaustive method can be applied at any time.
As expected, this news "leaked out."
When everyone heard about this, their expressions were very exciting.
It was like being slapped several times.
Of course, what is more lively than this is the appearance of someone’s head falling to the ground. Just like they abandoned Cui's daughter without warning, Shen Tang's soldiers also came to raid the house without warning. The crime was not the reason he was sent back before, but that they loaned money.
“You are making money privately, let’s take a trip.”
"Not guilty, I am not guilty, I am wronged——"
The people who were dragged away shouted that they were wronged.
It is indeed unjust. Compared with the previous accusations, lending money is really a small crime, and it was done before Kangguo invaded. After breaking up with Mr. Cui, I tried my best to mop up all the troubles I could, so how could there be any new loan sharks?
