On the occasion of rebirth Zhou Sui

Chapter 492 Visiting the Mansion to Condolence

Changsun Sheng died of illness in Daxing in late November last year. Now that the two countries are in a stalemate, it is impossible for his wife and children to go to Guanzhong for the funeral.

Mrs. Gao, the wife of Chang Sun, still resented Chang Sun Sheng in her heart.

That day, Changsun Sheng led his cronies to escape at night and abandoned the three of them in Suizhou City. He never thought about how she, a weak woman, could protect the young Changsun Wuji and her age when surrounded by wolves.

The younger daughter Guanyin Maid.

Cui Che simply cared about her old relationship. Although he coveted her beauty, he never forced her and always treated her with courtesy.

In fact, Cui Che, who is in his prime and handsome, has already occupied a place in the heart of the eldest grandson's wife, Mrs. Gao.

Powerful, beautiful and considerate, no woman can remain indifferent.

Especially when her elderly husband abandoned her resolutely between life and death, the relationship between husband and wife was severed.

And Cui Che valued his eldest son Wuji, always taking him with him to listen to and train him carefully. All of this was seen by Mrs. Gao, the eldest son's wife.

The entire Xiangguo Mansion knew that Cui Che worked hard to cultivate Changsun Wuji and often answered his questions.

After Mai Zhongcai and Mai Jicai were released as officials one after another, among all the personal followers, Xue Shou, the younger brother of the Xue family, Changsun Wuji and Cui Che's side concubine, was the most trusted.

Ever since she came to Jinyang, she has been trapped in a quagmire of contradictions.

Mrs. Gao, the eldest grandson's wife, has long been in love with Cui Che, but Cui Che has already made a promise to her that as long as eldest grandson Sheng is alive, he will never offend her.

Even if the husband abandons his wife and children, the wife cannot look forward to his death.

Now the news of Changsun Sheng's death finally reached Jinyang. After hearing the bad news, all the past events came to mind, and Mrs. Gao still shed tears for him.

When Cui Che came to the door, a family of three were holding each other's arms and crying in the courtyard.

When she learned that Cui Che had come, Mrs. Gao thought that he was going to connect her to the palace, and she was distraught for a while.

I'm somewhat looking forward to it, but I'm also worried that people's words will be intimidating.

Changsun Wuji raised his sleeves, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said:

"Mom, let me go to meet King Yan. If my mother doesn't want to come forward, you can take my sister back to the backyard to rest."

Gao hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said:

"King Yan, you are not an outsider, there is no need to avoid him."

Changsun Wuji nodded lightly and took his mother and younger sister outside the house to welcome the guests.

As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his mother, but as a human son, Changsun Wuji also knows his mother's thoughts very well.

If the mother has no choice but to commit herself to a powerful minister.

Changsun Wuji would never stay by Cui Che's side, even if he died, he would protect his mother's innocence, even if his life and death could not change anything.

But now that Mr. Gao has fallen in love with her, the two of them were innocent before this, and Mr. Gao will marry willingly in the future.

In this case, Changsun Wuji could not prevent his mother from remarrying, and he would not stop it.

Not to mention whether there is any reason for a son to force his mother to observe the law, Cui Che has kept his previous promise, and Changsun Wuji will naturally not interfere with his mother's consent.

After all, Cui Che had promised to give the Gao family a status and bring her into Prince Yan's palace in an upright manner, instead of being a shady outsider.

It's just that both mother and son thought wrongly. Cui Che didn't come here to pick up Mrs. Gao in a hurry, but made a special trip to offer condolences.

He was welcomed into the hall, and he did not say anything about taking Gao away. Instead, he comforted Changsun Wuji and said:

"You don't need to rush back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to work as an errand, nor do you need to resign due to death.

“For the time being, I am recuperating at home and spending time with my family.

"After the spring plowing, I will send troops to Guanlong, and I will call you to accompany me then."

As he spoke, Cui Che unconsciously revealed a sense of confidence:

"In this battle, I will take Guanzhong so that you can pay tribute in front of the grave."

Before Changsun Wuji could express his gratitude, Cui Che looked at Gao again.

Mrs. Gao, the eldest grandson's wife, had already put on mourning clothes when she sent someone to Jinyang Palace to inform eldest grandson Wuji.

As the saying goes, if you want to be pretty, you must be filial. Today's Gao's eyes are red and swollen, which is even more pitiable.

Their eyes met, Gao lowered his head slightly in panic, and kneaded the silk handkerchief in his hand uneasily.

Cui Che is also considered a veteran of Huacong, so his performance naturally made him understand Gao's thoughts and feel confident. So Cui Che deliberately said to Gao in front of Changsun Wuji:

“What I said that day came out of my mouth and reached the ears of my wife’s family. There is absolutely no reason why outsiders can know it.

"Now Mr. Changsun has unfortunately passed away, and his wife is a widow at home.

"If Madam thinks Cui is a good man and can be entrusted with her for the rest of her life, Cui will naturally be extremely happy.

"But if the wife insists on keeping her integrity and does not want to remarry, Cui will not force others to make things difficult, let alone alienate Wuji because of this.

"Although Wuji is young, he is talented and intelligent, and I love him very much. He cannot be his father, but he should also be his teacher. My wife does not have to worry about harming his future.

"What Cui wants is for his wife to be satisfied with her wishes. In this case, my acquaintance with Gao Gong (Gao Li) will not be in vain."

As soon as these words came out, not only Changsun Wuji and his mother Gao were deeply moved, but even the young Guanyin Maid looked at Cui Che with eyes full of gratitude.

When Mrs. Gao saw Cui Che's sincere tone and calm expression, she was afraid that if she refused at this time, she would really break off the relationship with Cui Che. But if she was asked to agree to Cui Che in front of her children, Mrs. Gao could not hide her face no matter what.

Just when she was in a dilemma, Changsun Wuji suddenly said:

"I also ask my mother to entertain the king on my behalf. I will go to the kitchen first and ask the servants to prepare wine and food for the king."

Then he said to Guanyin Maid:

"My sister will also go with me."

Guanyin maid obediently took the hand extended by her brother and followed him out of the hall.

Seeing that the two of them had found out and left, Cui Che couldn't help but praise:

"My lady has brought them up very well."

Mrs. Gao also knew that Changsun Wuji was deliberately avoiding it to avoid embarrassment. Her pretty face turned red, which was in sharp contrast to her white and simple mourning clothes. She just hummed softly as a response to Cui Che's praise.

Cui Che was not in a hurry and just stared at Gao quietly.

She suppressed her shame and said:

"The king is so powerful in anger that the world is in shock. No woman can have such power. How can I dare to ask for the king's love and affection as I am in the shape of a willow tree?"

There was no one else in the hall at this time. After Cui Che heard this, he suddenly stood up and kissed her on the lips amidst Gao's astonishment.

Gao wanted to struggle at first, but her hands that were about to push Cui Che away stopped in mid-air, allowing him to be wanton.

After a long time, the lips parted.

Gao was panting and her heart was about to jump into her throat. She didn't expect Cui Che to be so bold.

Cui Che, on the other hand, was still unfinished. He stroked the side of Gao's face and said softly:

"Whether what you did just now is considered to be affection, this is Gu's response."
