Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 527 was cleared

Cui Zhou had loved his biological sister since she was young. Although she later locked herself in the small courtyard and refused to go out, he never treated her badly in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and personally asked about her every month.

Seeing that she was truly devoted to helping the Second House as Zheng Bojiang had said, he couldn't help but feel a little disheartened. He said with a sullen face, "You're really getting more and more powerful now. There's not a single person in this room who you can't criticize. What's going on? Are you going to scold even Aye?"

Cui Quan, who was named and did not want to be scolded by his daughter or scold her, turned his face away. He felt guilty towards his daughter and knew that his daughter's words were extremely unpleasant.

At his age, he doesn't want to have an awkward relationship with his daughter.

From the moment Cui Bian talked about the separation, he began to radiate low pressure, which made the on-site announcer Xiao Jiang say that black mist began to come out of his body, and the clouds were about to turn into heavy rain.

As a result, everyone present was better at acting than the other, and the scene was so exciting and fast-paced that, except for the beginning, no one had time to even look at him.

When Cui Zhou mentioned it at this time, everyone turned their eyes over. Jiang Shangxian peeked out one eye from under his mother-in-law's armpit and tried his best to participate - Oh, the old man's face is so black with anger!

Being stared at by his daughter, son, and grandson, Cui Quan caught a glimpse of her eye from the corner of his eye. He then turned away and met Cui Bianxu's gaze. "Dividing the family is a big deal."

Cui Bianxu nodded in agreement: "It's just right that we're all here today."

So we don’t have to get together next time.

Cui Quan: "I'm not dead yet."

Cui Bianxu: "Yes."

Xiao Jiang, who was discovered, silently withdrew one eye: "No, do you two like to talk like this? Is your relationship really that bad?"

She is really too curious. If I had known earlier, I would have skipped it last night and had a story session instead, so that she wouldn't be so itchy and want to know the gossip now.

There was a long silence, so long that Jiang Shangxian's back was sweating, before he heard Cui Quan's voice: "Everyone go out, the eldest, the second, Wei'er, and Yi'er stay."

Xiao Jiang, who was being cleared out, turned his head and looked at his mother-in-law: Let's go?

Zhao Yue frowned: I don’t want to leave.

She was worried about her son being here alone. What if he was bullied?

As for Cui Zhe?

Haha, it’s better to treat him as a dead person than to rely on him!

I don't want to leave...

Jiang Shangxian blinked. She didn’t want to leave either. She wanted to listen to a story.

How to do it?

Xiao Jiang rolled his eyes and suddenly had a bold idea...

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law helped each other to stand up. Jiang Shangxian secretly rubbed his numb legs and looked at Cui Shuhua who was still sitting upright in the chair - worthy of being a troublemaker...

Compared to the two of them who were hesitant and unwilling to leave, the eldest wife's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were straightforward and decisive: "Yes, daughter-in-law/granddaughter-in-law, take your leave."

Zhao Yue had no choice but to walk out with them slowly. Jiang Shangxian silently supported her until they walked out of the house. The door was closed again and no one spoke inside.

"What do you propose?"

Zhao Yue lowered her head and spoke to her in a low voice, her anxiety evident in her words: "Why did Yi'er suddenly say she wanted to split up the family? Do you know about this?"

"this..."

Jiang Shangxian's chubby hands nervously grasped her skirt, her round eyes filled with sincerity: "If I say I don't know, will you believe me?"

Zhao Yue clenched her fists instantly: "...Do you think I believe it?"

"Mother, shh..."

Jiang Shangxian glanced around slyly. There were few people outside the hospital, but there were quite a few people in the yard just now. She held her mother-in-law's arm tightly and whispered in her ear: "Jiulang mentioned it before and asked me if we should split up the family. Mother, you know I can't bear to leave you. If we split up the family, you and Grandpa can go to Chang'an with us. But Jiulang didn't say he would bring up the matter today. I was also surprised."

As she spoke, she patted her pectoral muscles and dragged Cui Zhe into the water with a lingering fear: "This is too sudden. I wonder if Grandpa knows."

Zhao Yue blinked and thought carefully before saying, "He probably doesn't know. He's been in my yard these past few days, and I haven't seen him and his son say anything."

At this point, she couldn't help but complain, "Yier, why are you talking about dividing the family? If we don't divide the family, he will be the heir of the Cui family's direct lineage, and any children you have in the future will also be from the direct lineage. But if we divide the family, your status will be lowered by one level."

Most parents can't help but think about their children and their children's children. Even though Zhao Yue was somewhat tempted to split up the family, the future marriage prospects of the second son of a divided family and the second son of a non-divided family would be different.

The ancestral home of the Cui family in Wushuifang has completely different scenes for those who live inside and those who live outside.

Jiang Shangxian may not have much work experience, but she had experience with the principal's long speeches at the flag-raising ceremony every Monday. She immediately said, "Mother, as the saying goes, there is gain and loss, and a blessing in disguise. Jiulang is now the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple, but it will be difficult for him to advance further."

"how do I say this?"

Zhao Yue immediately became nervous, as this matter concerned her son's future. "Could it be that someone in the court is trying to trip Yi'er up? But the holiday gift wasn't generous enough? Or has his temper offended someone again?"

Jiang Shangxian held her hand, stealthily turning his head. "Your Majesty cares deeply about the world. The Chronicles of the Clans show that the clans are too powerful. How can Your Majesty tolerate this?"

Zhao Yue's grip tightened: "Go on."

"If His Majesty knew that we split up the family and moved to Chang'an, Jiulang would be different from others. As long as Jiulang is diligent, His Majesty might use him." Jiang Shangxian began to talk nonsense seriously.

She really thought it was a good idea to split up the family. After the family was split up, when the Tang Dynasty strong men killed the clan in the future, their family would not be killed - if they were to kill anyone, they would kill the eldest of the clan first, right?

As long as the small shrimps that are separated are smart and low-key, they shouldn't attract attention, right?

Zhao Yue didn't understand the affairs of the imperial court, but after hearing what she said, she actually felt that there was some truth to it. She hesitated and said, "But I'm afraid your grandfather won't agree to this."

If they split up the family now, people outside would laugh at them, Cui family. The old man is used to saving face, how could he stand such a shameful situation?

As she spoke, she looked up and suddenly realized something was wrong: "Oh, I was so busy talking, where have we been? Lianhuan, you..."

Zhao Yue was about to curse them, wondering why they hadn't warned her since she'd taken the wrong path, when she realized there was no one behind them. "Where's this person?"

"Mother, keep your voice down!"

Jiang Shangxian said stealthily: "I let them go first."

Not long after leaving the courtyard, she gestured for the maids to leave first: "Mother, take a look, is this the back of grandfather's courtyard?"
