Chapter 767: Many Cheats 88
It's no wonder that Marquis Xinxiang reacted. He felt that it was the first time Cui Er Niang sent someone to threaten him, but he didn't fight back, which gave Cui Er Niang an illusion that she could threaten him. So this time, when Cui Er Niang sent someone to ask for money again, he naturally had to fight back.

If it hadn't been the chief eunuch of the Queen's side who came to lecture him last time, and the other party had not been in a high position, he would not have dared to say anything, otherwise he would have fought back last time.

How did the Marquis of Xinxiang fight back this time? Of course, he couldn't mention Cui Erniang's life experience and threaten her to tell others. After all, if Cui Erniang's life experience was told out, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor and she would be beheaded. Naturally, he didn't dare to use this to fight back against Cui Erniang. So how did he fight back?

The Marquis of Xinxiang naturally had his own way - he directly told Cui Erniang that if she continued to act so rampantly, he would report the matter to the emperor.

How could a daughter ask her father for money, and she not only refuse but also threaten him? Even if she is now the emperor's concubine, there is a difference between her and his subjects, and the emperor is the leader of his subjects. Logically, if Cui Erniang, who is in the position of emperor, asks him, who is in the position of subject, to do something, he should obey. But, that is logic, reality is reality, and in reality, filial piety should be emphasized. If the people in the emperor's harem are so unfilial, how can the emperor rule the world with filial piety?

Therefore, if the Marquis of Xinxiang had really told the emperor what Cui Erniang had done, the emperor would definitely punish Cui Erniang. Not only would she lose favor, she might even lose her position as a concubine.

Anyway, for the emperor, a little-known person who is not favored and has such a stain could be demoted to the lowest position and thrown into the cold palace.

It must be said that the Marquis of Xinxiang hit the snake at its most vulnerable part. When Cui Erniang saw that the young eunuch had come back, not only did she not get the money, but she also threatened the Marquis of Xinxiang. The Marquis of Xinxiang was not as honest as last time and fought back. Cui Erniang could not help but get angry.

But it must be said that the threat from Xinxiang Hou made Cui Erniang a little scared, because she was indeed a little afraid that not only would she be out of favor in the palace, but she would also be demoted by the emperor, which would make her life even more difficult.

Although she didn't like the current emperor at all and her goal had always been the Prince of Anjiang, she currently lived in the palace and had to consider her own situation.

So when she saw the threat from the Marquis of Xinxiang, she was really stumped and could not achieve her goal, which naturally made Cui Erniang unhappy.

But the threat from Xinxiang Hou was still quite powerful, and Cui Erniang could not think of a way to break it for a while. At the moment, she really did not dare to continue sending people to ask Xinxiang Hou for money.

However, Cui Erniang was not someone who would show weakness. After all, she was a time traveler and had a sense of superiority. Naturally, she did not want to be stumped by the ancients, so she asked the eunuch to pass on a vague message, threatening the Marquis of Xinxiang, saying that if he did not give her money, don't blame her for a fight to the death. She said that the Marquis of Xinxiang understood what she meant.

The Marquis of Xinxiang naturally knew what she was talking about. It was about her life experience. If it were really told to others, the Marquis would be accused of passing off a concubine as his legitimate daughter. Although it was only a family conflict and no big deal, a daughter was not a son, and had nothing to do with the inheritance of the title. The royal family generally would not care. But the bad thing was that the Marquis of Xinxiang sent her into the palace, which would be suspected of deceiving the emperor. If it were really told to others, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor and he would be beheaded.

Cui Erniang wanted to use this to threaten the Marquis of Xinxiang.

How could the Marquis of Xinxiang not understand what she meant, but he just sneered, not afraid at all, because he didn't think that Cui Erniang, who loved to enjoy life - before in the mansion, asked the wife of the Marquis of Xinxiang to buy delicious food and drinks, and made clothes and jewelry, she was not a person who enjoyed life - would be willing to die, so he didn't take her threat seriously at all. But in his heart, because he thought that it was because Cui Erniang entered the palace that the matter of using a concubine as a legitimate wife was considered a crime of deceiving the emperor, he couldn't help but blame the wife of the Marquis of Xinxiang for registering Cui Erniang to enter the palace. After all, if the wife of the Marquis of Xinxiang hadn't registered Cui Erniang, these things wouldn't have happened at all.

He immediately ran to the wife of the Marquis of Xinxiang and scolded her for being crazy for signing Cui Erniang up to enter the palace and raising such a domineering daughter, who was now asking for money in the palace every day.

The wife of Marquis Xinxiang knew that Cui Erniang had recently sent people to threaten Marquis Xinxiang again, so it was normal for Marquis Xinxiang to come and scold her as he was fed up with her annoyance.

She was mentally prepared, so it didn't matter.

Besides, if there was anything wrong in the Xinxiang Marquis's Mansion, the Xinxiang Marquis would scold her. After all, the Xinxiang Marquis favored Aunt Han, not her, so naturally he would scold her if he was dissatisfied with something. But she didn't dare to scold the Xinxiang Marquis at that time.

Now the Marquis of Xinxiang would still scold her for some things, but the Marquis of Xinxiang himself suffered much more troubles than she did, so she thought that was pretty good. As long as the Marquis of Xinxiang was not living well, she would be living well.

In fact, if she hadn't wanted to be laughed at in the mansion, she would not have been able to bear the scolding - she could have said when the Xinxiang Marquis scolded her for the first time about this matter that she realized she had made a mistake and brought trouble to the Marquis, so she asked to go to the temple to practice, and then slipped away, handing over the housekeeping power in the mansion to her daughter-in-law. In that way, even if the Xinxiang Marquis wanted to scold her, he wouldn't be able to find her.

But wasn't it because she wanted to have fun that she didn't leave and stayed in the mansion? So she just cursed at him. After all, since she had caused discord between Cui Erniang and Xinxiang Hou, she knew that Xinxiang Hou had been wronged and must have wanted to find a way to vent his anger, either by cursing herself or Han Yiniang.

In fact, the Marquis of Xinxiang scolded more than just the two of them. When he was in a bad mood, he scolded everyone, which led to everyone in the mansion being dissatisfied with him recently.

But at that moment, both the Marquis of Xinxiang and Han Yiniang realized that if they continued to let Cui Erniang torment them like this, they would have no good life. So when the Marquis of Xinxiang came to scold Han Yiniang again that day, Han Yiniang made up her mind and said to the Marquis of Xinxiang: "Since that girl doesn't care about our father-daughter relationship, why should we care about her father-daughter relationship? Marquis, why don't we find some people in the palace to deal with her? Killing a few people in the palace is as easy as drinking water and eating. It's not a difficult thing. Once she is killed, we can solve the problem once and for all and will never suffer these pains again."

Aunt Han thought that since her daughter in public was Cui Yuanniang anyway, when Cui Erniang died, she would still have Cui Yuanniang to rely on, so she would not lose anything at all. Moreover, if she dealt with Cui Erniang, the Marquis of Xinxiang would not continue to scold her, and she would continue to be in favor, and she would not have to worry about falling out of favor and having a bad life in the mansion.

These days, Aunt Han was becoming more and more hateful, and she decided to go all out and kill Cui Er Niang, and then pretend that she had no daughter and her daughter was Cui Yuan Niang.

Needless to say, Aunt Han's idea really touched the heart of Marquis Xinxiang.
