Mrs. Cui thought the conditions were not enough and said anxiously: "Do you think the Cui family is not good, or do you think what I just said is not sincere enough?"
"I can assure you that you will not suffer any injustice when you marry into the Cui family. After you know everything and can run the family, I will not share the rights of your rear house as a mother-in-law. My son is younger than you. , has a good nature, you can meet him and then decide..."
Xue Ru shook her head: "It's not Cui Xiaolangjun's fault, it's me."
"Aru!"
Tang Ning seemed to know what Xue Ru wanted to say, and frowned.
Xue Ru smiled, with a gentle expression: "Sister, I can't hide my health from others, and Mrs. Cui sincerely proposes to marry me, so I don't want to deceive her."
"I'm very grateful to the young lady for taking this seriously, but you only know that I was mistreated by the Song family when I was a child, but you don't know that my health has long been damaged. The imperial doctor said that I cannot marry and have sex with a man before I am twenty, and I will not have any children in the future." There may be damage on it.”
"Cui Xiaolangjun is your only son, and he will take over the Cui family in the future. I must not delay him."
Mrs. Cui was shocked: "How could..."
She looked at Xue Ru, although she was thin, but her face was rosy, and there was no sign of illness in her eyebrows.
Xue Ru smiled: "Young madam, you haven't seen me look like half a year ago. I have a sallow complexion, skin and bones, and my stature is not as good as that of a ten-year-old child. It's my sister who feels sorry for me and makes me take soup and supplements every day." Then I begged Madam Qin to perform acupuncture and regulate my Qi every now and then. It will only take me half a year for my flesh and blood to grow, and I will look like a normal girl."
"Although I'm looking at Kang Jian now, it's not so easy to make up for the shortfall inside. Madam Qin said that my heir's fate is shallow. Although it's not certain that I can't have children, I think Mrs. Cui is not willing to gamble with Mr. Cui Xiaolang. .”
"He is the future head of the Cui family, and his wife will produce heirs for the Cui family. Whether it is for the inheritance of the clan or to calm the hearts of the people, it is impossible for Mr. Cui Xiaolang to accompany me to wait for the fate that may never come. So I can’t promise you.”
Mrs. Cui's expression kept changing. She had some doubts that Xue Ru's words were words of rejection. She just found this reason because she didn't want to marry into the Cui family.
But the expression on Xue Ru's face was too serious, and it was the Cui family who was begging her now. Even if she really didn't want to, there was no need to "defeat herself" like this.
Her life experience has some stains, and a concubine is not treated well by others. If she still has the problem of having children, how can she talk about marrying in person in the future?
Mrs. Cui moved her lips. She originally wanted to give it a try. Maybe she could seek treatment from other famous doctors, and maybe she could give birth to an heir in a few years.
But when I think of my young son, and if Xue Ru really never gets pregnant, will she be allowed to occupy the position of the head wife and make her son and the Cui family laugh at others?
Mrs. Cui hesitated.
Seeing this, Xue Ru smiled: "Thank you so much, Madam, for your hospitality today. Sister, let's go."
Tang Ning stood up and said, "I will tell my brother what you asked me to do. As for anything else, I will pretend that I haven't mentioned anything else."
Mrs. Cui quickly stood up: "Princess, I am not..."
"I see."
Although Tang Ning's expression was a bit grim, she was still considerate: "It's a good thing for the young lady to ask Aru to marry her, but Aru and Cui Xiaolangjun are not destined to be together, and Aru is still young, and I want to keep her for a few more years, so Please also ask the young lady to keep the talent’s affairs confidential.”
Mrs. Cui said seriously: "Don't worry, Princess, I will never tell outsiders."
"Thank you very much, Madam. Aru and I will take our leave first."
Tang Ning led Xue Ru away. Mrs. Cui did not get angry because she was rejected from the marriage. Instead, she personally sent the two of them out of the house. After watching them get on the carriage and leave, she could not help but smile lightly after returning to the house. Sighed.
"Why did the young lady sigh, but things didn't work out?" The nanny beside her asked: "But I just saw Princess Xiangning taking away the brocade box..."
"It's not that it didn't work, it's..."
Mrs. Cui paused, and after sending away the others around her, she lowered her voice and said, "That Miss Xue has an old illness."
"Old illness?"
"Heir."
Mrs. Cui only whispered one sentence, and the nanny next to her had a look of surprise on her face: "How could it be?"
"She said it herself."
Mrs. Cui's face was full of regret: "I really like that little girl, but it's a pity..."
"I knew she was not doing well in the Song family, but I never expected that the Duke's mansion would be such a den of tigers and wolves. The girls in the mansion would treat her so harshly that they were worse than a beggar."
The nanny asked in a low voice: "Why did the young lady give the mine to them?"
"Why not send it?!"
Mrs. Cui's expression turned cold: "Although if you can't marry Xue Ru, you will lose a layer of security, but just seeing that they have not concealed the matter, you can tell what kind of temperament Princess Xiangning and Xiao Yan are."
"On the night of the palace banquet, I came forward for the sake of the Cui family, and also to save Cui Lin's life, but they actually accused me of being cruel and ruthless, and used Yu'er's future to plan my dowry."
"They begged me to sell my dowry to make up for the shortfall and redeem Cui Lin, but then they turned against me and refused to recognize me. Do they really think I am easy to bully?"
She had guaranteed Cui Lin, and the stability of the Cui family was due to her returning half of the dowry. Naturally, everything in the Cui family could only belong to her son.
Moreover, when she was raising money a few days ago, the confidant sent by her eldest brother to help her was extremely taboo when it came to mentioning Xiao Yan. He told her to try not to be at odds with Xiao Yan, and that it would be best to repair the relationship if possible. He also said The eldest brother quietly investigated the Xiao family in private, and almost fell into trouble as soon as he started.
Her elder brother said that Xiao Yan was anything but simple.
Although Mrs. Cui didn't understand it herself, she knew that her eldest brother was always extremely cautious and would never do anything wrong. Moreover, the mine belonged to her natal family and was given to Xiao Yan by her eldest brother. He wanted to help her. Let Yu'er get the power to head the Cui family as soon as possible, and also want to use her to show friendship with Xiao Yan.
The eldest brother is willing to give up, why should she hesitate?
Mrs. Cui glanced at the maids standing in the distance: "Don't mention today's matter again in the future, and don't let Yu'er talk about it. If anyone asks, just say that I just stayed with Princess Xiangning. They are here for Xiao Yan’s ennoblement.”
"I was worried that Xiao Yan would fall out and settle old scores after being ennobled, so I gave Princess Xiangning some rare and rare books to please her. Do you understand?"
The nanny quickly said: "I understand, young lady, don't worry."
…
Tang Ning didn't know about Cui's family affairs, so he frowned and looked at Xue Ru while sitting on the carriage.
"Why do you tell her that you are in trouble with your children? You know clearly that Sister Qin says that you are weak, but as long as you have a good life, it will not hinder you from getting married and having children in the future."
"If you don't like the Cui family's marriage and just refuse it, why bother yourself?"
