I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle
Chapter 227: Kindness, but must have a sharp edge
Hearing this, Zhao Simin was the first one who couldn't help herself. She immediately let go of Cui Shuyan's arm and was about to rush out to seek justice for Cui Shuyan.
Cui Shuyan grabbed her and whispered, "Don't worry."
"Shuyan, they are talking about you by name, can you tolerate this?"
Cui Shuyan smiled faintly: "Of course I can't tolerate it."
"Since you can't stand it, why don't you go out and teach them a lesson?"
"What's the use of teaching them a lesson? It won't hurt. This is in our house, and we can't really beat up the person who said that, otherwise it will damage the reputation of our house. It would be better to..."
Cui Shuyan leaned closer and whispered a few words in Zhao Simin's ear.
After hearing this, Zhao Simin was delighted, and she pulled Zhao Siyue aside and whispered, "Sister, look at Shuyan's ability to win without bloodshed, isn't it a bit like you?"
Zhao Siyue smiled knowingly and tapped Zhao Simin's forehead: "You, learn from me."
Zhao Simin smiled and stuck out her tongue, but didn't dare laugh out loud.
After all, they still have a show to watch next.
Over the flowers, the conversation continued.
"Yuyao, you are Cui Shuyan's cousin. I remember she was the most afraid of you when she was little, but I don't know if she is still afraid of you now."
Gao Yuyao's voice was slightly proud: "As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years. Cui Shuyan was afraid of me when she was a child, so she is naturally afraid of me now."
"Then call Cui Shuyan over to bully her later, and I will believe you."
"Okay, isn't this simple? I used this trick many times when I was a child. Whenever she disobeyed, I would put snakes, frogs, caterpillars, and poisonous scorpions in her bed, and then close her door. Then, there would be something interesting to watch, hahaha..."
Hearing this, Zhao Simin's face changed. She was most afraid of things like snakes and caterpillars.
She really didn't expect that Cui Shuyan had experienced all this when she was a child.
She gnashed her teeth in anger: "They are so abominable!"
"Yeah, it's so abominable." Cui Shuyan echoed.
Those days of torture, abuse and no one to rely on seem to have happened just yesterday and are still fresh in her memory.
But now, everything is different.
Without waiting for the flowers to react, Cui Shuyan asked directly: "Who is looking for me?"
In an instant, there was silence over there among the flowers.
After a while, Gao Yuyao came out from behind the flowers. Seeing Cui Shuyan, she was a little surprised, but her eyes were as arrogant as always: "Cui Shuyan, were you eavesdropping on us?"
Cui Shuyan was amused: "Miss Gao, what you said is really interesting. This is the Duke Zhao's residence, how can it be considered eavesdropping?"
When Gao Yuyao saw Zhao Simin and Zhao Siyue standing next to Cui Shuyan, her face changed.
Of course she knew these two people.
Seeing that the two of them did not speak for Cui Shuyan, she knew what was going on.
Thinking of this, Gao Yuyao smiled and said, "Listening without telling, what else could it be but eavesdropping?"
"If you don't want me to hear it, you should close the door and say it secretly."
At this time, the woman standing next to Gao Yuyao said, "Yuyao, didn't you say Cui Shuyan was very obedient in front of you? Why does it seem different now?"
Gao Yuyao looked displeased: "Cui Shuyan, you actually dare to talk back to me now."
"Gao Yuyao, who do you think you are? Not only do I dare to talk back to you, I even dare to slap you in the face." After saying that, Cui Shuyan raised her hand and slapped Gao Yuyao in the face.
Gao Yuyao was caught off guard and received a hard slap in the face.
In an instant, Gao Yuyao's face was filled with anger, and she rushed forward to hit Cui Shuyan.
At this time, Zhao Siyue and Zhao Simin each took a step forward and stood behind Cui Shuyan, one on the left and one on the right.
Suddenly, Gao Yuyao stopped and looked at Zhao Siyue and Zhao Simin in astonishment.
The two of them did this clearly to support Cui Shuyan.
But, how is this possible?
The Duke of Zhao’s Mansion is not without a daughter. Shouldn’t adopting Cui Shuyan as an adopted daughter just be a formality?
But, looking at the situation now, that is not the case.
Gao Yuyao was not stupid, and she immediately changed her tone: "Shuyan, we are all cousins. You hit me and I hit you, so what? It's just a joke between cousins."
"Yeah, it's just a joke. But the sound of a slap on your face is pretty nice. But I haven't heard enough, so what do you think I should do?"
Gao Yuyao immediately reached out and hit herself in the face.
After a while, her own face was swollen.
Zhao Simin approached Cui Shuyan and whispered, "Shuyan, you still have a way. If we reprimand her at the beginning, she will probably fool us. It's better to let her suffer the consequences like now. Besides, we haven't done anything wrong. These slaps, one after another, were given by Gao Yuyao herself."
"Evildoers will suffer the consequences of their own actions, just as they deserve."
On the side, Zhao Siyue heard Cui Shuyan's words and couldn't help but admire her a little more.
A woman from a noble family would naturally not simply believe in the word "goodness".
You know, all goodness in this world is conditional.
Once you have status and position, you can demonstrate goodness.
Otherwise, the kindness you show will only make people think that you are weak and can be bullied.
Cui Shuyan is very good like this, kind but with a sharp edge.
That is undoubtedly telling others: I can be kind to you, provided that you deserve my kindness.
Otherwise, all I will show you is my coldness and ruthlessness.
At this moment, Cui Shuyan treated Gao Yuyao just like this.
This time, Gao Yuyao lost both her dignity and her dignity, and she completely lost face in front of her group of little sisters.
Cui Shuyan had admired them enough and smiled at Zhao Siyue and Zhao Simin: "Let's go, my stepmother is still waiting."
Zhao Siyue and Zhao Simin responded and walked forward with Cui Shuyan.
As soon as the three of them left, Gao Yuyao burst into tears.
She was so embarrassed today.
At this moment, even her younger sisters didn't know how to persuade her.
After all, those slaps just now were all inflicted by Gao Yuyao herself.
From beginning to end, Cui Shuyan only hit him once.
Even Gao Yuyao herself didn't know what to say.
After all, she was the one who was afraid.
But she was afraid of Zhao Siyue and Zhao Simin, not Cui Shuyan.
Cui Shuyan, wait for her!
However, she could only think about these in her heart and dared not say them out loud like she did just now.
On the other side, Cui Shuyan had already dressed up and came in front of the wife of Duke Zhao.
Lady Zhao was delighted and happily introduced Cui Shuyan to all the noble ladies present.
Originally, Cui Shuyan thought that this so-called recognition of relatives was just a formality, but when she saw the many guests present, she realized that for the Zhaoguo Mansion, this was not just a formality.
Today's banquet not only entertains female guests, but also male guests.
However, on the male guests’ side, it was Duke Zhao and his two sons who were entertaining guests.
In the middle of the banquet, it was inevitable to take a break. Cui Shuyan walked casually in the garden with the pomegranate.
Cui Shuyan felt a little tired after walking around for a while.
Just as I was about to go back, a man suddenly jumped out from behind a low wall. He rushed over in a few steps, his voice urgent: "Tan'er! Tan'er, is that you?"
