You break off my engagement and I dig your ancestral graves

"Only by letting Changqing know the truth of the matter can he be obedient." A hint of sinisterness flashed in Mrs. Du's eyes.

If she hadn't had to, she wouldn't have told Changqing this secret.

The old lady has always been ashamed of this matter. She had planned to secretly execute the second son after the old man passed away. However, the second son was too popular at that time, and her husband and the third son were not up to the standard.

The Cui family's livelihood must be supported by the second son, which is why it has remained so.

Who knew that he and his wife would die so young, otherwise the Cui family could have reached a higher level.

Now the only person she can rely on is Changqing. If Cui Yingying is lucky enough to be favored by the Crown Prince, relying on Changqing's love for her, no matter how much she hates the Cui family, she will be able to help them in the future.

Cui Changqing stayed in the room for a long time to digest what his mother said. His eyes were filled with astonishment and disbelief. He barely sat down by holding on to the edge of the table.

No wonder everyone in the mansion hated Yingying, and no wonder in his memory his grandmother always disliked his second uncle.

No matter how outstanding her second uncle was, he had no place in her heart.

The truth is actually this.

"It's actually like this..."

Cui Changqing laughed helplessly, his face full of sadness. He covered his face with his hands and a tear fell down. He kept muttering to himself, "But Yingying is innocent..."

The glory and splendor of the Cui Mansion actually hide so many unknown secrets.

This incident dealt a heavy blow to Cui Changqing, causing him to stay at home for several days, but he never forgot to inquire about Cui Yingying's news from time to time.

Inside the palace.

Because of her injuries, the Queen did not dare to let her learn any etiquette, but only asked the teaching nanny to explain some basic things to her.

To everyone's surprise, the cynical little girl was very attentive and even took notes. However, she used her left hand so her handwriting was crooked.

Princess Xiyun lived and ate with her. When she looked at the notes she made, she twitched her lips and praised her in a hypocritical manner.

The days in winter always pass very slowly. There is still a full month before Xiao Su chooses a concubine, and during this period Cui Huairou will get married and welcome the New Year.

After nightfall, Princess Xiyun was called away by a palace servant. As soon as she left, Cui Yingying, who had been full of joy, became unhappy. She took a futon and sat under the eaves of the corridor in a depressed mood, looking at the white snow all over the yard and wrapped herself tightly in a small blanket.

"Princess, it's cold outside, shall we go in? Lianli and I will play mahjong with you, okay?" Zhuyu half bent over and whispered to her.

Cui Yingying shook her head, looked at her and said in a muffled voice: "Sister Zhuyu, just leave me alone for a while, I'll be in soon."

"This..." Zhu Yu didn't know why the little princess was unhappy, and looked at Lian Li worriedly.

Lian Li shook her head helplessly. Ever since Master Liang disappeared, the little princess has been worried every night. It was okay when the princess was around, but when the princess was not around, she could no longer hide her worries and refused to speak.

Just when the two were at a loss, a clear voice sounded at the right time. The person who came was dressed in crimson purple clothes, noble and gorgeous, and the Buddhist beads in his hand rolled rhythmically. He looked like a monk who had just returned to secular life and was out of tune with this world.

"Your Highness." Cui Yingying raised her head and looked at the person who came. Her little face was wrinkled and she couldn't smile.

Xiao Dai chuckled and flicked her forehead with his hand, "You should call me brother."

Zhu Yu's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and she hurriedly took out a cushion and placed it next to Cui Yingying, then retreated with a group of palace maids.

And Shangying also wisely disappeared into the snowy night.

"Tell your eldest brother why you are unhappy?" Xiao Dai rubbed her droopy head and said softly.

Cui Yingying raised her head, pursed her lips in grievance, and started crying as soon as she spoke, "Where is my second brother? Is he hiding something from me?"

Xiao Dai's heart skipped a beat. This little girl was actually very smart even when she shouldn't be.
