Chapter 1835 Something happened to Cui He

Maybe this year is a bit uneven. It has been raining continuously since the beginning of the new year and the temperature has suddenly dropped. The adults are okay, but the children who have to go to class occasionally wear thick clothes and have to take off one piece in the middle. The clothes are too thin. I had to add another one in the middle, which made Jiayun cough for several days and couldn't play with Ling'er.

These days, Ling'er is not very happy. The reason is that the weather is bad, her mother does not allow her to run around, and her brothers and sisters cannot play with her. She is very bored alone.

She was forced to stay with her mother and watch her weave flower mats. She would occasionally reach out to make trouble, but she would be punished. This made Ling'er sigh for several days. Later, when she saw her aunt, she felt like she was seeing a relative, and she insisted on going back to her parents' home with her. go.

Rong Yi had nothing to do with her, so she didn't have to pack her clothes. The children often had their parents running around, so naturally they had their own rooms and things.

She had no choice but to explain that she was not allowed to be naughty and that she had to listen to her elders. Ling'er agreed obediently. Rong Yi turned to Chang Le and told her to keep an eye on the child and not allow her to eat more sweets. If she was disobedient, she would be arrogant. If you are making trouble, don't be merciful. If you can't control it, just send her back.

Ling'er listened with a bitter look on her face and said, "How good is your mother? Ling'er is so obedient, how can she be disobedient?"

Rong Yi looked at her and smiled, bent down and scratched her nose, and said: "You'd better be serious and be good. You are the youngest child in the family. The elders love you and protect you, but you can't Because the elders are acting recklessly towards you, you must remember what Mom usually tells you. Once you let Mom know that you are acting like a young lady, Mom will be spanked."

Ling'er quickly covered her buttocks and hid behind her aunt, looking as if she had been beaten severely and was frightened. This made Rong Yi laugh angrily. Changle touched her head and said, "Your mother said You're right, my aunt will not spoil a child, and if you do something wrong, my aunt will not protect you."

Ling'er was stunned for a moment, her mind was spinning rapidly, and she quickly said: "Ling'er is looking for great-grandma and great-grandpa!"

Rong Yi and Chang Le looked at each other, smiled and shook their heads. No matter how young a child is, they still know who is most effective. Their biological father and mother can still beat them, but one generation apart, and another generation after that, they can only All that's left is love.

After Ling'er finished speaking, she ran out with the doll her aunt brought her. Changle laughed for a while and then said, "Something happened in the past two days. Have you heard about it?"

"About whom?"

"Cui Shilang's wife, the one you have become good friends with in recent years."

Rong Yi frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong with her?"

Changle said: "I heard that a few days ago, she accompanied her mother-in-law to the mountain to worship Guanyin. When she came down the mountain, she encountered a group of thieves. Fortunately, there were several martial arts warriors among the entourage who followed, and they beat up the thieves. He ran away, but..."

Putting these two words together, woman and thief, Rong Yi quickly felt a bad feeling in her heart.

Changle continued: "I heard that the situation was chaotic at that time. Two thieves saw that Mrs. Cui was young and an official's wife in extraordinary clothes, so they wanted to kidnap her. Everyone had been dragged to the dense forest, waiting to be rescued. It's been a long time, and the news has been sealed by the He family, so not much is known now."

"The He family has been sealed?" Rong Yi frowned.

Changle let out a long sigh, nodded, and said: "I heard that Mrs. Cui was very angry at that time and threatened to divorce Cui He. Fortunately, the maid Cui He married was smart and saw that the situation was not good. He hurriedly ran back to the He family. The He family arrived in time and stopped the news." Rong Yi felt something was wrong when she heard that. She said: "In recent years, the bandits and thieves in Beijing have been almost wiped out. Especially on the official road, who would dare to intercept people on the official road? This is not the past few years. Now, the country of Meng is rich and powerful, and governed well. Who dares to do banditry at the feet of the emperor? There is something wrong with this matter. It’s strange.”

"Yes, I heard that that group of thieves disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. Their whereabouts are unknown. The He family is very angry."

Rong Yi thought of He Zhiyuan's haggard and silent appearance that day, and felt uncomfortable for a moment. This woman was already in a very difficult situation. If someone really wanted to frame her in this matter, then these people's hearts would be really vicious.

She said: "Fortunately, no family member will come forward to solve the problem this time. I think Yunniang will not suffer a loss. I am really afraid that if the Cui family deliberately wants to find a reason to divorce her this time... what will she do?"

Changle shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be a matter of divorcing your wife, right? No matter how you say it, the He family is not a vegetarian. His daughter has been married for so many years and has worked hard without any complaints. She has taken great care of the whole family. And what happened this time was also an accident. If we divorce our wife because of this, will the Cui family’s reputation be lost?”

Rong Yi said, "I'm afraid that the Cui family has already found a way out."

……

Rong Yi was not leisurely these days, and she still had a lot of things to do later, but she still took a day to go to the Cui family gate with supplements.

After all, Cui Shilang has not been in politics for generations. Cui Shilang's father was educated in reading, but there is no room for him to display in the political arena. However, Cui Shilang has a father who has opened his eyes, and he is considered to be the No. 1 person who came out of the countryside. Now, the Cui family has officially stood up. It was Father Cui who started it, and Cui Shilang laid the foundation. In fact, the family is not rich. If he hadn't married Yuan Niang and had a generous dowry, he wouldn't be able to expand his family. Lu, when he goes out to make friends, he is very generous and tough-minded, but anyone who knows a little bit about his family will know that this man is looking after his wife.

The Cui Mansion was not big, but there were many servants. There were people who led the way diligently all the way in. When Mrs. Cui heard that the Crown Princess was visiting, she came out to greet her in person. It was so lively.

Rong Yi smiled and politely declined the suggestion to go to Mrs. Cui's house for tea. She said, "I heard that Yuan Niang is sick. I came over to see her. Mrs. Cui doesn't have to be busy."

Mrs. Cui's expression froze slightly, and then she said politely: "Yuan Niang is not feeling well, and I'm afraid I'll give it to His Highness. How about you..."

"Is it inconvenient to see her?" Rong Yi asked directly without being polite.

No matter how courageous Mrs. Cui was, she would not dare to talk nonsense in front of the Crown Princess. Just as she was thinking about what to say, He Zhiyuan's maid Lancao came in a hurry and avoided Mrs. Cui's gaze. She said to Rong Yi: "Madam, I heard that Your Highness is here, and asked your servants to come and welcome you."

Mrs. Cui's face suddenly turned ugly and she glared at Lan Cao.

Rong Yi took a deep breath, smiled brightly, showed a decent smile to Mrs. Cui, then ignored her and said to Lan Cao: "Then lead the way."
