After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall

When she arrived outside the courtyard gate and confirmed that Cui Min was inside the house, she pushed the door open without thinking, without even knocking.

The moment the door opened, the discussion about the current situation in the study could be clearly heard.

"Brother has been back in the capital for a while now. I believe he has a deep understanding of the current political situation. Since brother led the family to the border, the Cui family's strength has indeed been greatly weakened."

"My brother's return is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the Cui family, but whether to assist the crown prince and how to assist him require careful consideration."

Cui Min sighed softly, his tone mixed with helplessness and worry, "I understand your thoughts. The power of the crown prince is gradually declining. This winter hunt is a test of the crown prince and the sixth prince by the emperor. Although the two are evenly matched on the surface, in fact, this will directly affect the morale of the crown prince's party."

"The Cui family cannot bear any more storms. Every move we make must be carefully planned."

Hearing this, Cui Rong, who had quietly entered, frowned.

She walked straight into the study, which surprised Cui Min and Cui Song who were negotiating.

"Rong'er, why are you here?"

Cui Song asked in surprise.

Cui Rongrong looked solemn and answered firmly, "I arrived when my uncle and father were discussing how to support the crown prince. I have my own opinion on this matter and I think the current strategy is not appropriate."

Cui Song's voice was so stern that the air froze. "What does a girl know? Get out!"

His words were like sharp arrows, pointing directly at Cui Rong, attempting to repel her objections with the constraints of tradition.

Facing Cui Song's scolding, there was no sign of retreat in Cui Rong's eyes.

She stood straight, her voice soft but firm, "I may not know much, but I am also a member of the Cui family. I should have the right to express my opinion on the future direction of the Cui family."

Her words caused ripples in this ancient hall. "Assisting the Crown Prince, I insist on retaining my opposition to this."

Her eyes were clear and resolute. "Right now, my engagement with the Crown Prince has not yet been fulfilled. Why should we bear unnecessary shackles between each other in advance? In my heart, I have never longed to become the Crown Princess. If the Cui family is innocently dragged into the vortex of power because of such an unrealized relationship, then I will become a heavy burden on the shoulders of the family. I would rather choose to die to express my feelings than to see my relatives suffer any harm and setbacks because of me!"

Hearing this, Cui Min's brows were furrowed into the shape of a "川" character, with worry and helplessness between his brows, "Rong'er, don't ever mention such things again!"

Cui Rongrong did not hesitate in front of her father and Cui Song. She slowly knelt in front of them and reiterated her position, every word sincerely, "Dad, Cui Song, our Cui family has remained neutral for many years, so that we can be as stable as a rock in this capital. If the time really comes to make a decision, I hope that Dad and Cui Song can think carefully for the long-term development of the Cui family and then make a decision."

Her words revealed a maturity and wisdom beyond her age, "The situation in the court is unpredictable. If you make a wrong step, there may be no turning back."

At this moment, the study was so quiet that only the sound of everyone's breathing could be heard. Cui Min and Cui Song exchanged meaningful glances.

After a moment, Cui Min finally spoke, his voice was somewhat compromising, "What you said does make sense."

He stared at his brave daughter, his eyes showing both admiration and mixed emotions, "You, Cui Songding, and I will carefully consider this matter."

Hearing this, Cui Rongrong felt relieved. She leaned forward and said apologetically, "If Rong'er's words and actions just now have offended the elders, it is really disrespectful. Please forgive me, father and Cui Song."

Her attitude was sincere, revealing the humility that a junior should have.

Cui Song's mouth corners slightly raised, his eyes flashing with understanding and approval, "Everything you have done is for the benefit of the Cui family, and these words between us should also be made clear. Then, I will not disturb your father and daughter's time."

He bowed to Cui Min, then slowly turned around and stepped out of the study.

Cui Min then stepped forward and gently helped his daughter up.

"Why are you looking for me at this time? Did something happen outside?" Cui Min's voice was full of concern.

Cui Rongrong told her father everything about Zhang Wen, and a look of joy gradually appeared on his face. "The army is in urgent need of talents. The years of fighting with the enemy on the border have caused heavy casualties among our soldiers. If we can get a good general, it will undoubtedly bring a ray of hope to the troubled army!"

"Unfortunately, he doesn't want to join the military, but I will do my best to convince him."

Cui Rongrong’s answer was firm.

Looking at his daughter, Cui Min felt distressed. "It's really hard for you to run around for your father's affairs."

"Rong'er is willing to share Dad's worries and never gets tired of it."

After an in-depth conversation, Cui Rong slowly left the study and returned to her room.

She looked at the gradually darkening sky outside the window and made a decision in her mind.

She was going to look for Lin Yuanming, the man who had an indissoluble bond with Zhang Wen.

In her heart, Cui Rong sighed softly, thinking back to the circle of friends with whom she had close contacts in her previous life, Lin Yuanming was definitely a key figure among them.

He is funny, open-minded, and always warm and friendly to others.

When Zhang Wen first came to his father's side, although he was full of ambitions, he was often looked down upon and excluded because of his humble background. Only Lin Yuanming took the initiative to extend a hand of friendship and gave him warmth and recognition.

If Lin Yuanming could help, the possibility of persuading Zhang Wen would undoubtedly be greatly increased.

After all, for like-minded people, no matter how long the distance is.

As long as we meet again, we can become close friends as quickly as we did at the first time. It's just a matter of time.

Having made up her mind, Cui Rong quietly left the Cui Mansion as the night deepened.

At this time, Lin Yuanming was still buried in the sea of ​​books in his study until a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

When he looked up, he saw Cui Rong standing outside the door. He was stunned at first, then a smile appeared on his face. "Oh, it's really strange. When you appeared, my servants must have been scared again. They are still lying on the floor now."

Cui Rong smiled and did not refute, "The first snow has arrived, and the night is chilly. I have let them rest in the corridor. Lord Lin, don't worry about me."

"You are very considerate." Lin Yuanming nodded approvingly, then invited her to sit down and handed her a cup of hot tea. "You came in person so late at night. Is there anything I can do for you?"
