Chapter 39 Gentle Gentleman * Tough Peasant Girl (38)

Ye Zi held He Qinggui's hand all the time, drawing warmth and courage from him.

The sea of ​​clouds outside the window rolled like Ye Zi's anxious heart.

Looking at Ye Zi's cheeks that turned pale with nervousness, He Qinggui hesitated for a moment, then hugged Ye Zi from behind.

Ye Zi turned around and buried herself in his body, feeling the scent from him.

They didn't say a word. He Qinggui gently stroked Ye Zi's hair, and a warm atmosphere spread.

Ye Zi fell asleep in He Qinggui's arms, and when she woke up, the plane had arrived.

Upon entering Cui Mansion, the biggest feeling Ye Zi had was solemnity. It was completely different from the gentle atmosphere of He Mansion. The entire Cui Mansion gave people a feeling of oppression and suffocation.

When we entered the flower hall, people from the Cui family were already waiting there.

Before leaving, Mrs. He showed Ye Zi photos of people in Cui's house that Ye Zi might come into contact with, so she could recognize who was present.

The old man with a long beard sitting in the center is called Cui Ge. He is Ye Zi’s grandfather and the person closest to her in the entire Cui family.

He has now retired from his position as head of the family and is enjoying his retirement.

He has a very handsome appearance. Although he has an ordinary look, you can tell at first glance that he is a fair and strict person.

He Qinggui bowed first, leaning forward and saluting with a calm demeanor.

"According to the Jingnan He Clan's rules, I greet all the elders."

After he finished asking for greetings, Cui Ge bowed to him, and he took a step back, revealing the leaves behind him.

Although I am nervous, the test is ahead and I must not retreat.

Ye Zi took a deep breath, knelt deeply, and bowed her head with an elegant manner.

"Ye Zi, the daughter of Cui Xinhe, is returning to her ancestral home today and paying respects to all the elders of the clan."

Ye Zi was originally very nervous, but at this point she became calm.

Cui Ge looked at Ye Zi with complicated emotions in his eyes. He was silent for a while and then spoke slowly.

"Get up."

Ye Zi stood up calmly with a peaceful expression on her face.

"Thank you, grandpa."

Looking at Ye Zi's calm and indifferent face, the people of the Cui family did not feel it was rude. After all, the Cui family had never been a friendly and warm place.

Cui Ge is already very old, but his voice is still steady and powerful.

"Take your seats first."

Ye Zi and He Qinggui walked to the two empty seats on the lower right and sat down in silence.

Cui Ge continued speaking only after he saw the two of them sit down.

"You hate the Cui family."

Hearing what Cui Ge asked, the other members of the Cui family were shocked. Is it so direct?

Ye Zi's face was more dignified and solemn than ever before.

"I don't know anything, so how can I hate it?"

Cui Ge looked at her face, with a flash of nostalgia in his eyes.

"I can tell you what happened, but you may not want to hear it."

Ye Zi said without hesitation: "I want to listen. I want to know what happened back then."

Cui Ge had always behaved in a proper, serious and rigid manner throughout his life, and only showed some tenderness towards his two daughters. But looking at Ye Zi's face who was pretending to be calm and strong, he could not bear to tell the truth.

"I have only had two daughters in my life, one of whom is your mother, Xinhe. He'er is a naive person with an extreme temper."

He fell into deep memories.

"I arranged a marriage for her to the He family, but she was bewitched by the second son of the Ye family and eloped with him. That bastard from the Ye family didn't do it because he liked her, but because he hoped to get the position of heir to the Ye family through her."

"After finding out that she couldn't get what she wanted even if she was with He'er, he lost his way out and started beating and scolding Xin He. I wanted to take He'er back, but she refused to comply. I hope I can change your father's mind by myself."

"But she was really stupid. That bastard was unwilling to give up his wealth and abandoned her before she gave birth. He ran home and confessed his crime. I have executed him."

"When my people went there, she had already given birth to you and hanged herself. Before she died, she set a fire and wanted to take you with her, but it happened to rain that day and you survived."

At this point, his tone became stagnant.

"He'er was my favorite daughter, but she hated you. When I saw you at that time, I would always think of her experience. So I gave some money to the Tan family and asked them to raise you. From then on, you had nothing to do with the Cui family."

After hearing about her own mother's outrageous yet tragic experience, Ye Zi forgot to breathe for a moment, and only came to her senses after He Qinggui held her hand.

This truth is too cruel for a child who has always had high expectations of his parents.

"It's really amazing that you are in this situation now. Since you have returned to the Cui family and acknowledge your mother's bloodline, then do it. In the Cui family's genealogy, she is also unmarried."

The amount of information before was too great and Ye Zi has not yet recovered.

"Don't use that wicked man's surname anymore. Change it back to Cui. According to your grandmother's wishes, you should be called Jun Ning. What is your current name?"

Ye Zi no longer had the mood to fight for his own name. If Cui Ge had not lied to him, there was no need for him to lie to her.

She used this surname in a disgusting way, so disgusting that it made me want to vomit. It was a person like that who ruined her mother's life.

The noble lady, who was once rich and noble, fell into such a miserable situation.

The others also had mixed feelings when looking at Cui Junning.

Everyone present was the elders of the Cui family, who had watched Cui Xinhe grow up.

That girl was different from other members of the Cui family since she was young. She was lively and cheerful, had countless ideas, and always liked to play pranks. However, no one in the Cui family, with such strict rules, would punish her.

Even though she was a concubine's daughter, her life was no worse than that of a legitimate daughter, and she was even promised a good marriage with the third branch of the He family.

The eldest son is the heir, so naturally he is not a good match. The second son is also a concubine's daughter, and since there is someone in that son's family, naturally she cannot marry into that family.

The third son is the youngest son, and he has a kind nature. I also have a good impression of Cui Xinhe. If I marry him, I will surely have a stable and happy life.

But who could have thought it would turn out like this.

Cui Junning looks very similar to Cui Xinhe, especially her eyes, but as soon as you think of her other half of the blood, it’s hard to like her.

After kneeling in the ancestral hall, she left the Cui family.

You haven't even been able to visit your own mother's grave. According to Cui Ge, Xinhe wouldn't want to see you.

I was very nervous when I came here, and I felt sad when I left because of my mother's tragic experience.

But Cui Junning not only sympathized with her mother, but also felt that she was confused.

Alas, the beauty is gone, let her rest in peace.

Although I cannot visit her grave to pay my respects, I will burn a stick of incense for her when I go to the temple in the future.

Quan Dang tried her best to bring the filial piety into this world, even though she wanted to burn her to death.

Mrs. He didn't know what happened in the Cui family yet, but she heard that there was something strange about Qinggui and Ye Zi's trip that day.

Just in time for the end of dinner so that the family can have dinner together.
