Cui Ling met his gaze fearlessly and said without hesitation: "His Royal Highness has a distinguished status. He should know how to write the words "be cautious in words and deeds" better than Han Zhang."
Seeing that the eldest prince was disapproving, Cui Ling dropped a bombshell: "Your Majesty is inspecting the salt tax recently. I wonder if His Highness's tail has been cleaned up?"
The eldest prince's face changed slightly, and he didn't even have time to worry about how Cui Ling learned that he had been exposed to the salt tax. He hurriedly asked for confirmation: "Is the news true?"
Cui Ling glanced at him indifferently. Without wanting to say anything, she turned around and left. Her attitude was as arrogant as she could be.
Cui's confirmed next head of the family has the right to be arrogant and arrogant. Cui Ling used to think that doing more was better than doing less, but that didn't mean he was afraid of the imperial power.
What's more, Qi Yue is just a prince, and the rest will wait until he actually sits in that position.
The eldest prince's face was gloomy.
Looking at Cui Ling's walking back, he gritted his teeth and said one word at a time: "Cui, Han, Zhang."
If we didn't need the Cui family's support now...
When he gets into that position, Cui Ling will be killed sooner or later.
Cui Ling may not know what the eldest prince is thinking, or he may be acting like this because he knows it. Only a person who commits a thief for a thousand days cannot guard against a thief for a thousand days. The eldest prince is a ruthless man and cannot bear the responsibility.
…
Su Yu didn't know what happened here after she left, so she walked towards Cui Yue happily.
The plan to find a scapegoat was going very smoothly.
Su Yu sincerely prayed that the eldest prince could live longer so that she could complete the task.
Cui Yue had seen Su Yu a long time ago and saw that she came with her brother. She wanted to take Lin Jinse there to find her brother, but unexpectedly he turned around and left before he got close, leaving Su Yu alone.
Lin Jinse also saw it.
She frowned: "Yue'er, who is the woman next to Brother Hanzhang?"
"She's here to spend the autumn... She's the niece of my father's side room. Her parents are gone and she's coming to stay at our house for a while." Cui Yue changed her words midway and almost said what she was thinking.
"Strange, why did she come here with her brother?"
Cui Yue frowned and pulled Lin Jinse up: "Sister Lin, let's go over and ask her what's going on."
As the two approached, Su Yu also saw clearly the appearance of the heroine.
She has a dignified and beautiful appearance, a cool expression, and a noble posture. She is dressed in ice blue clothes and is elegant and graceful, like a fairy in the moon palace.
It was mentioned in the original plot that in order to get closer to the male protagonist, the female protagonist intentionally or unintentionally imitated the male protagonist's style. The male protagonist is Leng Yue Qinghui, and the female protagonist is the Fairy of the Moon Palace. Even her daily expressions and postures are 50% similar.
Regarding this, Su Yu said...it's hard to comment.
I have a personal opinion on the matter of changing my clothes for a man. It is understandable for a woman to please herself, but would Cui Ling really like another version of herself?
The male version of Cui Ling and the female version of Cui Ling are together.
Are two people sure they won't freeze each other to death?
The picture was so beautiful that Su Yu was so excited that she had goosebumps all over her body.
While thinking, the two of them got closer.
Su Yu calmed down and deliberately reduced the frequency of looking at the heroine to avoid laughing.
"cousin."
Cui Yue got straight to the point and asked, "I just saw you coming here with your brother. What happened? Where were you just now?"
Su Yu guessed that they would ask, and according to her previous words, she lowered her eyes and replied obediently: "I was a little bored admiring flowers by myself, so I wanted to take a walk. Unexpectedly, the further I walked, the more I wandered. I couldn't recognize the direction and got lost. Fortunately, I met To my cousin, he will send me back."
Cui Yue narrowed her eyes: "Is that just that?"
Su Yu was puzzled, raised her eyes and blinked innocently: "What else?"
Lin Jinse tugged on Cui Yue's sleeve, and said generously in a clear voice: "Forget it Yue'er, this cousin is probably just lost. Brother Hanzhang has a good temper, and he will help even people he doesn't know. Just Don’t embarrass her.”
Cui Yue was still worried and warned Su Yu: "Did you hear that? My brother just has a good temper. Don't think anything wrong. My brother's wife will only be..."
His sleeve was pulled again, and Lin Jinse said in an embarrassed voice, "Yue'er."
Cui Yue was silent. This kind of thing cannot be said outside. It will affect Sister Lin's reputation.
She raised her chin: "Anyway, remember, my brother will never fall in love with you. He will definitely marry a well-matched, well-educated woman who is worthy of him."
Su Yu looked blank, with pure doubt in her eyes.
After a long while, she asked hesitantly: "What is cousin talking about?"
Cui Yue snorted coldly: "Don't pretend to be stupid. Don't think I didn't see it. When you came here just now, you blushed like that. Wasn't it because of your brother?"
Su Yu was stunned for a moment, then whispered: "Did I... blush just now?"
The woman's eyes were pure and innocent. She was pointed at her nose as a warning, and her eye circles were a little red, but she really didn't understand the meaning of her words until she revealed her blushing and shy attitude just now...
A face with a frivolous smile came to mind.
Su Yu's cheeks turned red again, and she quickly waved her hands and explained, "No, I'm blushing not because of my cousin..."
"Who is that because of?"
Su Yu hesitated and took a half step back when questioned, not daring to say anything.
One is aggressive, the other is weak and pitiful. A quick look at people's hearts will reveal their bias.
This girl from the Cui family is really rude.
Feeling more and more eyes, Su Yu's lowered head became more and more pitiful, which made Cui Yue even more unruly and rude.
This was done not only to prevent Cui Yue from asking further questions, but also to escape himself.
She was an orphan, what else could she do if she didn't learn some means to protect herself.
Even though this method was not popular and she had disdained it before, it was very useful to her now.
Seeing this, Lin Jinse quickly grabbed Cui Yue and stopped her in a low voice: "Okay Yue'er, stop talking. There are many people watching. If you have anything to do, just close the door and go home. The flowers are blooming well over there. Let's go and see Take a look."
Cui Yue came back to her senses and turned pale when she saw the pointing eyes around her.
She glared at Su Yu in annoyance: "It's all your fault."
Then he was hurriedly dragged away by Lin Jinse.
After walking some distance, Lin Jinse suddenly turned around and caught Su Yu's tearless eyes and faint smile at the corner of her mouth.
The woman raised her eyes, her eyes without a drop of tears were very calm, which did not match her timid and pitiful appearance.
It was as if her performance just now was all pretending on purpose.
Lin Jinse was startled and turned around immediately before Su Yu looked over.
After walking far away, she said in surprise: "Yue'er, that cousin of yours doesn't seem to be simple."
Cui Yue looked at her: "What?"
Lin Jinse couldn't tell whether it was because of his own worries or something else.
"I always feel that your cousin is not as weak as she looks."
Cui Yue sneered: "How is that possible? She is just like a soft bun. She doesn't make a sound no matter how much I rub her. I told her that her family was poor and she didn't refute."
"Besides, her parents are gone and she is only protected by an aunt. What tricks can she pull off?"
Cui Yue didn't care at all.
Lin Jinse thought about it and murmured, "I must have seen it wrong just now."
