I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle

After hearing what the doorman said, Cui Shuyan smiled.

It seemed that Mrs. Cui's tantrum in Jingzhao Prefecture had worked.

Mrs. Cui got her wish and took Cui Shangjin's body back.

Naturally, she wouldn't be so kind as to let Choi Sang-jin rest in peace.

Because what Madam Cui wanted was for her, Princess Xie, to come and pay her respects to her biological father.

After all, the dead are the most important.

No matter how many mistakes a person made or how many sins he committed when he was alive, once he dies, they seem to become important, and the mistakes he made and the sins he committed in the past will no longer be mentioned.

The only thing that is missed is his identity as an elder.

At this time, if Cui Shuyan, as a daughter, did not go to the coffin and cry, her filial piety would not be demonstrated.

Moreover, if she really didn't go, it would also cause some criticism.

By then, people all over the world will naturally criticize Cui Shuyan.

Especially now, she is Princess Xie.

Even the censors in the Censorate would not let her go easily.

If this fire gets too big, it might even affect Xie Xingyuan.

However, once she goes, Prince Xie's Mansion will be related to the Cui Mansion in the future.

Mrs. Cui can take this opportunity to introduce Cui Mingzhu to someone in the name of Princess Xie's younger sister.

However, Cui Shuyan will not give Madam Cui this opportunity.

This was a trap she had set up, and how to break it was up to her.

Therefore, Cui Shuyan looked at the gatekeeper and said in a calm tone: "Go tell the Cui family that I have already severed ties with them. If his family wants to report the death, there is really no need to come to my Xie Wang Mansion."

"Yes, Princess."

The concierge responded and left.

Qiaoya was terrified.

After following Cui Shuyan for so long, Qiaoya has understood some of the twists and turns involved.

"Miss, Madam Cui is a very treacherous person. If she takes the opportunity to spread rumors about your unfilial behavior, it will be bad. You are now Princess Xie, and you cannot let others throw dirty water on you."

Cui Shuyan smiled and pinched Qiaoya's face: "Don't worry, I can handle it. But you, what did you want to tell me just now?"

"No, nothing." Qiao Ya lowered her head, hiding the myriad emotions in her eyes, "Miss, just go and get busy. You don't have to worry about the young master. I will take good care of him."

"No hurry. Qiaoya, when are you going to marry Liu Zhong? I have to prepare a good dowry for you."

"Oh, miss, why are you saying this for no reason? It's so embarrassing! Go away! Go away!"

As she said that, Qiaoya blushed and pushed Cui Shuyan out.

Cui Shuyan thought Qiaoya was just shy, but she didn't notice the tears that welled up in Qiaoya's eyes the moment she turned around.

On the other side, someone from the Cui Mansion went back to pass on the message, but Mrs. Cui was not angry after hearing it.

At the same time, Gao Jincheng also heard the conversation between the two.

After the servants left, Gao Jincheng grabbed Madam Cui's sleeve and asked with a frown, "Did you send someone to Prince Xie's mansion to announce the death?"

"Yes. Cui Shuyan is Cui Shangjin's daughter after all. Her father is dead, so she has to come back to visit."

Gao Jincheng stared at Madam Cui, trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart: "What are you doing? Princess Xie has said many times before that she and Cui Shangjin have severed their father-daughter relationship and will not recognize each other. You are clearly trying to put her on the fire by sending someone to announce the death."

"Brother, you and your wife are becoming more and more alike. You both are full of truths, as if you have to make me speechless. But how can you understand my suffering? Now that Cui Shangjin is dead, how can I live with this big family alone?"

"How can I ignore you while I'm here?" Gao Jincheng said as he stuffed a stack of banknotes into Madam Cui's hand.

Mrs. Cui looked down and immediately reached out to snatch the banknote, fearing that if she was a step slower, the banknote would be taken back by Gao Jincheng.

Noticing his sister's little actions, Gao Jincheng couldn't help but sigh.

In order to help with the funeral, he specially asked for leave from the government office and sent money over. However, his sister seemed to be completely oblivious to what he did and only cared about the silver bills he sent.

After putting away the banknotes, Lady Cui said, "Brother, if you want to control me, you can't just give me banknotes. Mingzhu's marriage is not settled yet, so I can't help you with this. Otherwise, Yuyao wouldn't have said anything to her yet."

Hearing her mention this out of the blue, Gao Jincheng suddenly thought of something and said in disbelief, "You are in a hurry to bring your brother-in-law's body back for burial, just to get Princess Xie to come, so that others will think that Princess Xie still recognizes Cui Shangjin as her father, thus paving the way for Mingzhu to marry into a good family?"

"Yes." Madam Cui raised her eyebrows, very proud, "My method is good, isn't it? You don't know, Cui Shuyan just brought Xie Chundai from the second branch of the Xie family to a banquet at the He Mansion, and she won the favor of the Yun'an Earl's Mansion. Mingzhu's relationship with Cui Shuyan is much closer than Xie Chundai. You can't write two Cui characters with one stroke, this advantage, Mingzhu has taken it!"

"But the person who just went to announce the death has already made it very clear. Princess Xie said she will not come."

"No, she will." Madam Cui was very sure. "In the past, when she was divorced, she might not care about her reputation. But now it's different. She is Princess Xie. People in such high positions care about their reputation the most. Besides, the reason why Prince Xie married her was just because she saved Prince Xie by chance. How can she not be careful in such a precarious relationship? Otherwise, Prince Xie will divorce her if she is not careful."

Gao Jincheng frowned when he heard this: "I think there is something else going on. It's not like Prince Xie would marry someone just because she saved his life."

"Oh, it's just because you're an official in the court that you think this Prince Xie is so great. In fact, it's really too difficult for him to get married. In his early years, he had a reputation as a wife-killer, and no one wanted to get involved with him. Although his reputation is good now, he already has a son. In this case, if he marries a noble lady from an aristocratic family, can she really treat his son well?"

Seeing that Gao Jincheng was listening carefully, Madam Cui continued, "Besides, the noble ladies of the aristocratic families all want their sons to be the crown prince. But Prince Xie established the crown prince very early, so even if she marries him, she won't be very good to the young prince. On the other hand, Cui Shuyan is different. She is not from a high family and is a second marriage. Only someone like her would be so devoted to the young prince of Prince Xie's mansion. Otherwise, if she makes a mistake, Prince Xie can use this as an excuse to divorce her! In this case, Cui Shuyan dare not let her reputation go wrong, so no matter how much she hates Cui Shangjin, she has to come."

After saying this, Mrs. Cui laughed triumphantly.

At this moment, she seemed to have seen Cui Shuyan coming to pay her respects as Princess Xie, and her daughter Cui Mingzhu also rose in status and was able to marry into the mansion of a duke...
