Chapter 43 Getting Close
When Mrs. Cui heard Cui Xiu’s explanation, the expression on her face softened a little, but there was still some worry in her eyebrows, so she said to Cui Xiu: “He’er, it’s time. It's because the child is still young, so you have to take him with you."
"I heard that there are other concubines living in your palace."
"If she wants to do something, those palace ladies. It can't be stopped."
As soon as Mrs. Cui said this, the expressions of other people present changed when they heard this, and they all looked at Cui Xiu.
When Cui Xiu heard Mrs. Cui's words, she knew in her heart that only family members would say these words to her so directly. If anyone else knew about it, they would definitely not say it to her so directly.
Cui Xiu remembered that her mother had reminded her like this in her previous life, but at that time she had no doubts about Ning Cairen. She felt that Ning Cairen was not that kind of person and she would not attack the fifth prince. .
Later, after many verifications, it was confirmed that her idea was right, but this does not mean that Ning Cairen is a kind person. She does not harm the fifth prince. That is because the fifth prince is her child. .
Cui Xiu did not deal with Mrs. Cui casually. She came here today to talk about this matter with her family. She could not trust other people, but her family, these people who were connected to her by blood.
She can still trust them. If she can't trust these people, then there will be no one in this world worthy of her trust.
"Mother, He'er knows that I have my own countermeasures for Ning Bin."
"I will be vigilant."
Cui Xiu looked at Mrs. Cui firmly and honestly, and said what she said After hearing this in her heart, Mrs. Cui's eyes froze subconsciously as she listened to Cui Xiu's response. She was obviously shocked by Cui Xiu's response.
In fact, ever since Mrs. Cui learned that a talented person lived in Cui Xiu's palace, she intentionally reminded Cui Xiu to be more careful and stay alert to the talented person.
Mrs. Cui knew how Ning Cairen entered the palace. She must not be an ordinary woman to be able to please the emperor in that way.
But in Cui Xiu's replies to her, he always avoided this issue. Cui Xiu always said that it was not easy for Ning Cai to come to Beijing alone, and he didn't treat her like a bad person.
As a mother, she naturally knows what kind of person her daughter is. Cui Xiu grew up under the protection of her family, and she really doesn’t understand the unpredictable nature of people’s hearts.
So much so that Ning Cairen was able to deceive her in just a few words, but Mrs. Cui would not give up reminding Cui Xiu just because of Cui Xiu's refusal.
Cui Xiu didn't listen once, twice, or three times, but she would listen once. As long as once, Mrs. Cui felt that these reminders were meaningful.
Cui Xiu saw tears in Mrs. Cui's eyes. She took Mrs. Cui's hand and said, "Mother."
Mrs. Cui was held by Cui Xiu like this. She took a breath gently, and then said with a smile: "He'er has grown up."
"When a mother becomes mature, she can also I heard what my mother said."
"My mother is very happy."
Cui Jin on the side saw Cui Xiu agreeing to Mrs. Cui's words, and she also said: " He'er, you have indeed changed a lot."
"The days in this palace, eh."
"It must be difficult." Cui Jin said, his eyes becoming heavy from time to time. Who doesn't know that although the people in the harem look glamorous, they are actually in a life-or-death situation where they are constantly fighting.
A concubine who is favored and has a high ranking will naturally be respected by the slaves, but if she is not favored and has a low ranking, then anyone can bully and abuse her.
“The days in the palace are not as ‘wonderful’ as my mother and sister said.”
“It’s actually very dull.”
“Besides, I Sister Yun and I often move around and look after each other, and life is good.”
Most of Cui Xiu's words are true. Although he was bullied in the days when he first entered the palace, it was over after gritting his teeth. The days afterward were fine. After being granted the title of Concubine Jia, few people Will cause trouble for her.
As for the child, it was her choice. It was too dangerous for the child to be around her. She didn't want the child to live so hard since she was a child, so she just went along with the flow and contributed to the current situation. Although it wasn't the best, it was still a situation she wanted to see.
The family walked to the lobby and sat down together. Cui Jin just wanted to continue speaking, but before he could.
"Okay, since He'er said it's nothing serious, let's not worry here."
Cui Zhenghai saw that something was wrong with the atmosphere, so he picked up the momentum of everyone, ended the topic just now, and started a new topic.
"He'er, your second brother and I were at your place last time."
"You said you had something to tell us when you returned home. What was it?"
When Cui Xiu saw her father mentioning business, she looked at Cui Zhenghai and said, "It's not urgent. Let's talk about it later."
There were many people talking during the day, and she didn't want to do it yet. She said that in the evening, when there were no outsiders present, she would talk to them in detail.
When Cui Zhenghai heard Cui Xiu's response, he didn't force it and said, "Okay, it's all up to you."
Cui Xiu looked at his eldest brother Cui Yu. From the time he came in until now, Cui Xiu has When I found that my eldest brother didn't even speak, I thought to myself that my eldest brother was framed in the previous life and his life was short-lived.
Later, her sweetheart died unexpectedly because of Cui Xiu. Because of this incident, she broke up with her elder brother.
After the death of his sweetheart, Cui Yu decided not to marry for the rest of his life, and finally died in depression.
Cui Xiu thought that in this life, even if she searched for famous doctors all over the world, she would cure her elder brother's illness and ensure the safety of her future sister-in-law.
"Brother, how are you doing lately?"
Cui Xiu looked at Cui Yu and said caringly. When Cui Yu heard Cui Xiu's words, he raised his eyes to look at her with a gentle smile on his face. He said: "Everything is fine."
"How many days will my little sister stay at home when she comes back this time?"
Cui Yu is different from Cui Chu. He has a calm and gentle personality since he was a child, and treats his younger brothers and sisters He also tried his best to take care of me and shouldered the responsibility of being a good big brother.
“We’ll have it in three to five days.”
Cui Chu, who was sitting on the side, saw that the two of them were communicating so dryly, so he said: "It's rare for my little sister to come back."
"I specially booked a private room in Jingyue Tower."
"Will you still follow the old rules of childhood and sit there?"
As soon as Cui Chu made this suggestion, everyone looked at Cui Chu. Cui Zhenghai frowned and scolded Cui Chu: " Cui Chu, do you think your sister is not popular enough?”
“You still want to take her to Jingyue Tower”
"If this matter reaches His Majesty's ears."
Halfway through Cui Zhenghai's words, Cui Xiu said: "Father, it's okay."
"I also want to go. , since entering the palace, I have never had the chance to go to Jingyue Tower."
"Now that the second brother has reserved a private room, he will not be discovered so easily."
"Besides, I still have a way."
