Chapter 0066 – Wives Come In and See, Is This Called Knowing Three as Three? (1 / 2)

Cui Xiao: ”Duke Wei, you went to the Prime Minister’s residence to propose marriage, saying that you wanted to beg for my hand in marriage, anyway, they are both daughters of the Cui family, there is no difference between any of them isn’t there?

I promise you, I won’t do anything to your wife and I won’t make her a concubine, she and I, on equal footing.

Externally, we honor each other, internally, we can be friends, we can be strangers, you and your wife, as they were, as they will be.”

Wei Yuanbai quietly looked at Cui Xiao, “What is your purpose? Why did you do this?”

Cui Xiao smiled, ”I naturally have my purpose, but it will never hurt the Wei family’s interests, we cooperate, win-win isn’t it?

Otherwise, my father will go to the Empress Dowager to arrange the marriage, or simply ask the Emperor to grant the marriage, my father will definitely be able to do it, and then when the imperial decree comes down, you Wei family will have to disobey the decree?

Even if we don’t go to ask for a marriage, my father pressures Lord Wei several times, and if Lord Wei openly offends him, will the Wei family still be any good?”

Jiang Zhi always sat quietly on the sidelines, silently drinking tea without uttering a word, but she could bring Cui Xiao along to the Wei family, the meaning of what it represented, was self-evident.

Wei Yuanbai looked at his father, Wei Changying pinched his teacup, “I agree with Miss Cui’s opinion, Yuanbai, you …… discuss with Rongqing and appease her, Miss Cui is knowledgeable, gentle and generous, Rongqing can definitely get along with her.”

Wei Yuanbai’s tongue tip went up against it, and suddenly laughed softly, looking at Cui Xiao, the color in his eyes obscure: “Thank you Miss Cui for your love, Mister Wei is flattered.”

Wei Yuanbai took one step, and walked out, his mind was chaotic and blank, he couldn’t refuse this marriage, but how was he going to tell Rong Qing?

He had promised Rong Qing that he would live a lifetime, and would never let her down for the sake of his future, even if he were to be a seventh grade official for the rest of his life, it wouldn’t matter, but now, because his family was involved in the Empress Dowager’s and the Emperor’s is a partisan dispute, and was caught up in it, he had no choice.

Rejecting the Cui family, the Wei family is going to be shipwrecked, he can’t harm everyone because of himself alone, joining forces with the Cui family, and hurting Rong Qing, breaking his promise to her.

Wei Yuan Bai was in the long corridor, watching his younger brother happily playing with the big dog, his Rong Qing was in the pavilion eating snacks and enjoying the fish, perhaps noticing his line of sight, Rong Qing looked over, and then his eyes lit up and he walked towards him.

Wei Yuanbai’s heart ached as he tried his best to show a smile and walked toward Rong Qing ……

After Wei Yuanbai left, Jiang Zhi put down his tea and shouted, ”Lord Wei, don’t blame Cui Xiao, it’s her, it’s better than any other daughter of the Prime Minister’s family.

Cui Xiao knows that your son and your wife are very much in love, and she has no intention of competing for favor; she is also a poor person who wants to make a good place for herself.”

Cui Xiao lowered her head, no matter what, she was always a woman with a thin skin, and now that she took the initiative to run to someone’s house and said that she wanted them to marry her, she also felt bad, but she could only go out of her way.

Moreover, the Wei family are all good people, Wei Jingran is still here, and she is not willing to see the Wei family being implicated by the Cui family, after she married Wei Yuanbai, the two of them each do their own things without interfering with each other, and without the Cui family’s constraints, she is more able to let go of her hands and feet to do her own things.

Wei Changying sighed, “I know, I understand what Miss Cui Xiao just said, Miss Cui, I still have to thank you for coming over to tell me about your father wanting to betroth his daughter to Yuan Bai, you’re right, with your father’s status, if we try to refuse the marriage, we’ll surely get into big trouble.”

Cui Xiao was apologetic, “It’s just that your son and your eldest daughter-in-law have been wronged.”

Wei Changying laughed twice, his laughter brisk, “What’s wrong with that kid? That’s him getting a bargain!”

Wei Changying’s attitude made Jiang Zhi and Cui Xiao’s hearts relax a lot and feel relieved, at least, Lord Wei didn’t hate Cui Xiao, and Cui Xiao’s life, wouldn’t be too difficult.
