Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 520: Mother-in-law with Excessive Qi and Blood

The Chenjun Xie family originated in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. During the Battle of Feishui, the Xie family headed by Xie An made great contributions to the Eastern Jin Dynasty and became rich.

In those days, the Xie family of Chenjun produced many outstanding people and was at its peak. They were known as the Wang Xie family together with the Wang family of Langya. Unfortunately, they began to decline in the late Southern Dynasties.

Even though the daughter of the Xie family of Chen County married into a lower class, she still had the pride of a big clan. She lost face so much that day, how could she swallow this easily? Naturally, she wanted to take revenge.

Cui Zhe's expression was indifferent, his tone full of disdain: "After all, you are the Xie clan of Chenjun, and you can't even send out a death squad?"

It takes at least fifteen years to train a death warrior. Whether learning martial arts or literature, it is extremely expensive. The money needed during this period is more than enough to support ten slaves. Most clans do not have the conditions, or do not have the conditions to support so many.

For the aristocratic families, keeping assassins is an unwritten rule. Although no one will say it openly, everyone knows it.

Madam Zhou, as the daughter of the Xie family of Chen County, did not use any assassins to take revenge on Erlang of the Cui family. This shows that the Xie family is really in decline now.

Cui Bianxu really didn't take this matter to heart. The Zhou brothers who were put in sacks didn't dare to retaliate. What could a weak woman like Madam Zhou do even if she wanted to?

At worst, every time she takes action, he will deal with the Zhou brothers.

When a son is beaten, the mother feels the pain.

He had given the task of putting the sack on Wang Mingqian. Now he had no time to spare to do it. It happened that Wang Mingqian was going to set off for Chang'an tomorrow. Since he had come here in vain, it was just right to put the sack on him before leaving.

Jiang Shangxian recalled the poem from his Chinese textbook: In the old days, swallows flew before the halls of Wang and Xie...

I think you are talking about the Xie family?

The two men were not angry, but Zhao Yue, who had just learned about this, was furious and her eyebrows twitched. She slammed the table again and said, "Is that woman crazy? How dare she cause trouble on your wedding day!"

He rolled up his sleeves and rushed out, shouting, "Bring me my whip, I'll beat her face to pieces!"

No, why is my mother-in-law so hot-tempered?

Xiao Jiang hurriedly hugged her around the waist, "Mother, calm down! Our family hasn't suffered any harm. We didn't cause any trouble yesterday. It was me who was too impulsive that day and hit Zhou Sanniang first."

Logically speaking, although Zhou Sanniang spoke rudely and looked down on her that day, based on her previous personality, she would never have a conflict with the other party, especially in the presence of so many people. It was mainly because Xiao Cui wanted her to cause trouble.

Strictly speaking, it was actually the Zhou family that was unlucky. They just happened to come across her and were used as a raft by her.

However, my mother-in-law is really full of energy. At her age, she is more energetic than a young person like me. I am really envious...

Zhao Yue quickly calmed down. She had simply gotten carried away by what she had just heard. After being stopped by Jiang Shangxian, she didn't rush out any further. Instead, she asked Cui Bianxu, "What are you going to do with that person?"

"Cut the tendons in his hands and feet, and have someone throw him to Madam Zhou's yard tonight." Cui Bianxu had already thought about it. If anyone dared to make trouble on his wedding day, it would be a slap in his face. It would be too light to just let Wang Mingqian beat the Zhou brothers.

He is not a kind man who would not fight back when being bullied.

Zhao Yue was immediately delighted when she heard this, and clapped her hands together: "That's right, she's probably going to be frightened and sick for a few days now!"

"My lord, my lady, it's almost time." A series of voices came from outside.

Jiang Shangxian's relaxed mood disappeared in an instant, and she looked at Cui Bianxu nervously: Are we going to fight soon?

The last time she met the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the first wife, they left her with a psychological trauma. Although she received a considerable amount of compensation for mental damages later, that was because the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the first wife were relatively easy to bully, and there would be no guards around the female family members when they gathered in the backyard.

But Cui Quan, Cui Zhou and Cui Wei, three generations of the Cui family, are the most direct descendants of the Cui family. They will definitely have guards around them, especially Cui Quan. There may even be assassins in his yard.

The most important thing for a person is to know himself, and Jiang Shangxian knows himself very well.

With her mediocre skills, if she met Cui's guards or even his assassins, she would definitely be beaten to death.

Cui Bianxu couldn't help laughing at the expression on her face. He walked over, took her hand and squeezed it gently, saying in a low voice, "Don't worry."

Beating his grandfather is a great act of unfilial piety. He still has to serve as an official in the court and it is impossible for him to do such a thing.

Fine.

Since they were going to meet their elders, they naturally couldn't take a sedan chair. The young couple followed Cui Zhe and Zhao Yue to the main courtyard. Jiang Shangxian noticed that Guizhi had been staring at her. She looked back with some surprise and found that she was staring at her and Xiao Cui's clasped hands. Thinking of the many rules in this wealthy family, she was afraid that doing so would be a bit impolite, and subconsciously wanted to retract her hand.

Cui Bianxu noticed her movements and instead held her hand tighter, turning his head to give her a questioning look.

Green Tea Xiao Jiang blushed slightly and signaled to him: Someone is watching us.

Xiao Cui followed her gaze and met Guizhi's eyes. Guizhi's face turned red instantly and she lowered her head shyly.

It was obvious, too obvious. Not to mention Jiang Shangxian, even the ants on the ground and the birds in the trees would have noticed something.

Cui Bianxu frowned and was about to speak when he felt his palm being scratched. Jiang Shangxian winked at him, indicating that if he had anything to say, he shouldn't say it at this time.

The current tasks must be done first. As for Guizhi, she is not confident.

Guizhi is a house-born girl who grew up in this mansion. If Cui Bianxu had this idea, he would have taken her in long ago even though she was just a maid.

Cui Bianxu glared at Guizhi with some dissatisfaction, then continued walking forward.

He didn't think about love between men and women, he just felt that Guizhi was annoying.

Have you never seen a young couple holding hands in your life?

His mother didn't say anything, but a maid dared to stare at him!

Guizhi didn't look up, but she felt the gaze. Her face turned from red to white, and her lips trembled slightly.

Lian Huan sighed inwardly upon seeing this, somewhat annoyed that she didn't know how to settle down in her life. But then he thought of the bond they had shared since childhood, and casually pulled her along as he walked forward, lips slightly parted as he spoke in a very low voice, "It's better to get rid of those inappropriate thoughts as soon as possible."

Guizhi paused and followed again, but the white bite marks on her lips made it easy to tell that she was in a state of unrest.

Huirong looked at her and Lianhuan with some surprise. She moved closer to Qiaoxiang unnoticed, touched her shoulder, and asked softly, "What happened? Are Lianhuan and Guizhi having a fight? Why is Jiulang unhappy?"
