Eagle-eyed and wolf-watching

Chapter 1503 Untitled!

Faced with his uncle's very direct question, Cui Hang was stunned at first, and then fell into silence.

The reason why Cui Hang did not answer his uncle's question was not because he did not know how to answer it, but because he knew very well what decision to make at this moment!
If it were someone else, Cui Hang could easily give the answer!
But now the target is his own elder brother who grew up with him. Blood is thicker than water, and blood ties are not something to be joked about!
Seeing Cui Hang like this, Cui Shao's eyes were also very complicated, with a hint of disappointment, but also a hint of relief. This silence lasted for a while, and Cui Shao broke the silence and ordered:

"I know what happened, Cui Hang, go back and have a rest!"

Cui Hang was shocked when he heard this, and subconsciously wanted to ask Cui Shao how to deal with this matter, but before he could open his mouth and say anything, he noticed Cui Shao's unquestionable look. Cui Hang gave up asking questions and obediently bowed and left Cui Shao's residence.

Sitting in the carriage on the way home, Cui Hang couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

He felt that the reason Cui Shao asked him to go back immediately was because he was disappointed with his indecision!

I shouldn't have hesitated at that time. I should have made the right choice immediately and let my uncle see my decisive side!
When Cui Hang, who was sitting in the car, thought about how he was hesitant and indecisive in the room just now, he couldn't help but sigh. He had done nothing wrong, so why did such a painful choice have to happen to him?
Because it was getting late and he had to go back to the Ministry of Personnel to work early tomorrow morning, Cui Hang planned to go to the wing room to sleep after returning to the mansion. Ever since the last quarrel with Wang, the couple had been in a cold war. In order to have some peace and quiet, Cui Hang also rested in the Ministry of Personnel. Even after returning home, he still lived in the wing room...

However, just as Cui Hang came to the side room and lay down, he heard the door being pushed open. Although he had not seen who the person was, Cui Hang knew very well that in his own home, no one dared to enter his room so rudely without saying hello. A look of helplessness emerged on his face!
Cui Hang had no choice but to sit up from the bed, looked at his wife who pushed the door open, and said in a calm voice:

"I don't want to quarrel with you! I just want to have a good sleep. I have to go to work at the government office tomorrow!"

Upon hearing this, Wang said coldly:
"Today your eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law and two children came again! They cried a lot at home, especially your eldest sister-in-law, who took a piece of white cloth and wanted to hang herself in front of me. I finally persuaded them to leave. What do you think we should do about this matter?"

Although Cui Hang did not see this scene, he could imagine how suffocating the scene was after hearing his wife's description, and he couldn't help but sigh again.

Seeing Cui Hang sighing, Wang said directly:

"If the sky falls, there will always be someone taller to hold it up. If you can't do it, let someone else do it. There is more than one person in your Cui family. Isn't your uncle still alive?"

“In my opinion, it’s just a matter of a word from him. If he says a word, even Your Majesty will have to give him face…”

Hearing what Wang said, Cui Hang couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

Seeing Cui Hang like this, Wang became even more angry and said:

"If you have something to say, just say it. Who are you doing this to? Can't you explain it to me?"

"Aren't you Cui Hang quite talkative? You can talk endlessly in front of others, but you are speechless in front of me, right?"

In response to his wife's series of deaths, Cui Hang said directly:
"I just came back from my third uncle's place!"

After hearing this, Wang asked expectantly:
"What did your Third Uncle say? Will he protect your family and those people from the Yun and Gongsun families?"

Cui Hang said in a deep voice:

"My third uncle didn't say anything, he just asked me if I wanted to give up my eldest brother?"

Wang asked tentatively after hearing this:

"Then what did you say?"

"When Third Uncle asked me, I was very confused and didn't know how to answer. When Third Uncle saw that I couldn't answer, he asked me to come back and rest!"

Wang said with some disappointment:
"Then why don't you ask your uncle what he plans to do? Why did you come back like this? Where did your usual aggressiveness go?"

"Why is it that meeting your Third Uncle is like meeting a cat?"

Cui Hang snorted and said:

"It's not like you haven't seen my Third Uncle before. When he looks at you, you feel uneasy. How can you let me ask? I can only come back like this!"

Wang curled her lips but continued to ask:
"So what do you think your Third Uncle is going to do? Will he sacrifice his own family for the sake of justice?"

Cui Hang said with some concern:
"My third uncle has strictly prohibited our Cui family from getting involved in those gambling dens and brothels. Now my eldest brother has not only invested in them, but the company has also been accused of usury and forcing women of good families into prostitution. This can be said to be an aggravated crime. I'm afraid this matter will be difficult!"

Feeling the melancholy in her husband's words, Wang nodded slightly, and then she seemed to suddenly think of something and said:
"Since your uncle can't help here, can your aunt say a word?"

Although the Cui family is prosperous, Cui Hang has five aunts, big and small. Wang also directly called her aunt, not specifying which one of the five aunts. However, Cui Hang immediately realized the meaning of his wife's words, hesitated for a moment and said:
"Let's see how things develop. I think this matter is very likely to involve some people. If this is true, this matter will probably alarm the Heavenly Court..."

Imperial Palace, Warm Room
An Miaoyi looked at her son in front of her, frowned and asked:
"Didn't I tell you last time to have less contact with that woman? Did you play with her this time?"

Hearing his mother's words, Jingren whispered:

"Mom, it's not that I want to play with her. It's that when I went to play with my second brother, third sister, and fourth brother, they didn't come out. I ran into Yunpin when I went to play in the Imperial Garden alone, so I invited her to build a snowman with me!" An Miaoyi said angrily after hearing this:
"If they don't come out to play, can you come back to study? What the hell is that piece of Moonlight on a Spring River that you memorized? I told you to finish memorizing it before going out to play, but you went out to play first. Jingren, why do you have such a playful mind?"

"Can't you just focus all your little thoughts on studying?"

"I tell you, in terms of intelligence, you are no worse than Jingxuan, but why are your academic performance so different? It's because you, Jingren, love to play. As the eldest brother, your grades are so much behind your younger brother? Are you ashamed? I just want to ask you, are you ashamed?"

"Look, when you go to play with others, they stay at home reading and studying. While you are playing, they have memorized several lessons and their grades have improved. Look at yourself!"

"Your academic performance is not as good as Jingxuan's, and you still think about playing all the time. If you continue to play like this, I think your academic performance will not only be inferior to Jingxuan, but also to Jingcheng and Xingtong in the end!"

“By then, you, the eldest brother of the crown prince, will have the worst academic performance. Tell me, will you be ashamed? You won’t even care about your dignity anymore…”

At first, facing his mother's criticism, Jingren still lowered his head and looked like he accepted it humbly. However, when his mother mentioned the names of Jingcheng and Xingtong and said that he was not as good as them, Jingren could not help but defend himself:

"Mother, my academic performance is much better than my second brother and third sister. I'm not worse than them!"

Seeing that Jingren still dared to talk back, An Miaoyi couldn't help but continue to scold:
"Why are you comparing yourself with this poor student? Don't compare yourself with the good students. Jingren, you are the prince, what are these two? Jingcheng is going to open a restaurant in the future, do you also want to open a restaurant with him?"

Facing his mother's questioning, Jingcheng really wanted to tell his mother that it was not him who wanted to compete with the two of them, but it was you, the Queen Mother, who compared them with me. Besides, there was nothing wrong with opening a restaurant, as one could eat a lot of delicious food when running a restaurant!

Although Jingren had such an idea, he knew very well that if he really said so, it would definitely add fuel to the fire, making his mother even more crazy, and even his own little butt would be in trouble, so after thinking about it, Jingren swallowed what he wanted to say, and then said in a proper manner:

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"I want to be a good prince, be filial to my mother and help my father govern the country!"

An Miaoyi didn't know her son's true thoughts at this time, and continued to educate him:
"You said you wanted to be a good prince? How do you become a good prince? Do you become a good prince by making snowmen or studying every day?"

"You don't study hard and just play every day. You're not hurting others, you're hurting yourself!"

"Jingren, why are you so worrying to me? Mother is so angry with you..."

After educating Jingren for half an incense stick of time, An Miaoyi reluctantly let Jingren go and let him go back to review the text and preview what Gu Sansi would say tomorrow.

Not only did Jingren feel suffocated by these words, but An Miaoyi also felt very tired, even a little exhausted. An Miaoyi did not have this feeling when dealing with all the big and small things in the palace. On the contrary, when it came to her son, An Miaoyi really felt helpless!

When the concubines, palace maids and eunuchs are disobedient, An Miaoyi has plenty of ways to deal with them, but when facing Jingren, An Miaoyi really doesn't know what to do. She would feel bad if she beat An Miaoyi, but scolding her would not have any effect, as Jingren just listens in one ear and out the other.

An Miaoyi felt like she had said this eight hundred times: "Study hard and play less." But Jingren wouldn't listen. When An Miaoyi was strict, he would behave himself for a while. But when An Miaoyi was a little lenient, he would immediately return to his old ways, which made An Miaoyi very distressed.

Just as An Miao leaned on the sofa and wanted to relax, the newly promoted Huang Ma from the Inner Court came to her and reported:

"Your Majesty, Concubine Rou's spies reported that Concubine Rou has invited a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva from Tianci Temple to worship day and night!"

Hearing the four words "Guanyin Bodhisattva", An Miaoyi seemed to realize something. A faint sneer appeared on her beautiful face, and then she waved her hand. Nanny Huang, who originally wanted to say something, could only choose to bow and leave.

After Nanny Huang left, An Miaoyi immediately found Qiqige and asked:
"Are everything arranged?"

Qiqige said confidently after hearing this:
"Don't worry, my lady. I will make sure that her efforts will be in vain..."

An Miaoyi nodded in satisfaction after hearing that. Nowadays, young girls are becoming more and more restless. They take advantage of their youth and beauty and don't take others seriously. They only think about how to have sex with men and how to get promoted in the palace!

Don’t you ever think about how deep the water in this palace is!

Just when An Miaoyi was feeling somewhat proud, Qi Qige also started to report:

"My lady, I followed your orders and had someone get rid of the Western Region Hu Ji that Prefect Liu kept, but Prefect Liu seemed to be deeply traumatized. Today, he even said he was sick and didn't go to the Yijing government office. What do you think we should do about this?"

An Miaoyi frowned slightly. She had originally thought that the existence of this Western Hu girl was a stain on Liu Ning and a huge obstacle in his official career, so she watched Liu Ning being obsessed and unable to extricate himself!
An Miaoyi wanted to help Liu Ning solve this problem and give him a push to make Liu Ning's future brighter and better. But now it seems that An Miaoyi seems to have underestimated the importance of this Western Hu girl to Liu Ning!
If this incident caused Liu Ning to become devastated, or if Liu Ning, who had originally been close to her, turned against her, then it would be a loss for An Miaoyi, and she would be shooting herself in the foot!
Thinking of this, An Miaoyi asked:
"How did you do this?"

Hearing An Miaoyi's question, Qiqige understood her master's thoughts and immediately spoke:
"Don't worry, Madam. We are using poison. Even if we check, it will only be a sudden heart attack. Nothing else will be found. Magistrate Liu will definitely not know!"

An Miaoyi nodded after hearing this and said:

"This useless thing usually pretends to be a decent person, but I didn't expect that he would treat a leftover bitch as a treasure. I even wanted to give him a push. I am so disappointed. Now I just let him go. If he doesn't do his best, it will be useless for me to help him!"

Qiqige agreed with what he said:

"Prefect Liu is like this. It's really a waste of the good intentions that the queen has put into him..."

(Today I saw a book review criticizing me. This book friend was very dissatisfied with the fact that I wrote about the people around me as having problems, but I think this is normal. After all, I still believe that everyone has selfish motives, and people like Hai Rui are indeed a minority among the minority!)
