The Concubine's Daughter Travels Through Time and Space and Takes the Road of Confrontation

Cui Lanxi frowned. "Now that you have the things, go back quickly and don't forget what you have to do next."

Cui Erlang put the purse into his arms with excitement and said, "Don't worry, sister. I will marry your sister-in-law from the Marquis of Ping'an's mansion." Zhao Qingyu, who was hiding outside the courtyard gate and heard the whole conversation between the two, had a cold expression and winked at Wen Zhu.

After turning a door, Cui Erlang, still immersed in excitement, suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his head. His head spun around, and he was gagged and blindfolded. Then he was kicked to the ground and his hands and feet were tied. Seeing Cui Erlang thrashing around in fear, Zhao Qingyu stepped forward and gave him a few vicious kicks. Unsatisfied, Wenzhu quickly stopped her master and searched Cui Erlang's body, showing him what she had found.

Zhao Qingyu immediately noticed the purple purse, a corner of which was embroidered with a few adorable water chestnuts. Thinking of what he had just heard, Zhao Qingyu's eyes nearly burst into flames. If it weren't for her second sister telling her to keep an eye on Cui Erlang, the thief's scheme would have succeeded. Such despicable tactics brought shame upon the Cui family's ancestors!

Zhao Qingyu snorted coldly, raised his foot and kicked Cui Erlang hard. Cui Erlang groaned, his body twitched a few times and then stopped moving.

Wenzhu swallowed and quickly clamped his legs together. He seemed to hear the sound of something breaking. He squatted down to feel his breath and felt relieved, thinking that he had probably fainted from the pain.

Just in case, Wenzhu struck him again, then untied the rope. Zhao Qingyu took Wenzhu and left the house as if nothing had happened.

It was not until Xiang Xing asked a question when she was counting things in the evening that Lu Ling realized that her purse was missing. After a brief panic, she quickly calmed down.

It was just a purse. Even if someone picked it up, as long as she didn't know it was her, it wouldn't be a big deal. It would be inappropriate to search for it in a big way. Thinking of this, Lu Ling found the same material and made an identical one overnight, which she wore on her body.

Cui Lanxi had never expected her brother to be carried back. Nanny Song, an elderly woman who worked for Ma, came with them. After dismissing everyone, she bluntly said, "Miss Cui, your Cui family has been a prestigious family for generations, but it's not as good as it used to be. How dare your descendants be so crazy, breaking into the inner chamber of an elder in broad daylight and leaving him unconscious."

Cui Lanxi's face turned pale and blue, and she was filled with resentment. Thinking of their plan today, she became even more impatient. After they left, she personally brought a basin of cold water and poured it over her head.

Cui Erlang was first beaten unconscious and then woken up by cold water. When he woke up slowly, he felt sore all over, especially in that place, where he felt severe pain in waves, which made him groan incessantly.

Cui Lanxi's anger suddenly turned into panic, and she hurriedly asked someone to report to her aunt and call a doctor.

The little maidservant in front entered Cui's room, and a young man in black clothes, who was more than eight feet tall, with broad shoulders and narrow waist and a stern face, followed in.

Cui, who was sitting on a chair listening to the maid's words, immediately stood up and greeted her with a smile on her face.

"Mother," the young man in black said, bowing to Cui. Cui gave a subtle wink to the maid beside her, then led her eldest son into the west wing.

"I seemed to hear cousin Cui's name just now." Zhao Mingyuan looked at his mother.

Cui took a sip of tea and said vaguely, "He said he was feeling unwell. I've already sent someone with a name card to ask for a doctor."

Zhao Mingyuan had always heard about the actions of his cousin from the Cui family. "I'm afraid my cousin got into a fight with someone and got injured." As he said this, he observed his mother's expression and was already 80% sure in his heart.

He snorted coldly, "Mother should understand the situation carefully before making any plans. If he does evil things outside under the name of our family, I'm afraid father won't be able to let it go if he finds out." Both father and son had no good feelings towards Cui Erlang.

Cui was furious when she heard this, "That's how you view your cousin. Even though he's naughty, he still knows his limits."

Faced with the partiality in his mother's words, Zhao Mingyuan's face turned cold and he stood up and strode out. "It's the same if I go, even if mother doesn't go."

Seeing that she could no longer conceal the truth, Cui had no choice but to take her men and follow them.

When the group arrived, the doctor was already taking the patient's pulse. After a moment's silence, the doctor withdrew his hand and looked at Mrs. Cui, "May I have a moment to talk?" Cui Erlang kept groaning throughout the whole process, Cui Lanxi was sobbing softly beside him, and Mrs. Cui's face was slightly gloomy.

Walking out of the house, the doctor looked at Zhao Mingyuan hesitantly, "Who is this?"

"It's nothing, sir, just say whatever you want to say." Cui said in a deep voice.

"Alas," the doctor sighed, choosing his words carefully. "The young man on the bed has bruises all over his body, the most serious being between his legs. I'm afraid it's not going to be easy for him to have sex."

Cui's face changed drastically. Although she disliked her nephew, she had never thought of leaving her family without descendants. "Doctor, is there still hope?"

she asked eagerly.

The old man stroked his beard and said, "Fortunately, the young master is young. He can recover a little bit after resting for a while. Remember not to have sex before that." Cui nodded awkwardly.

Zhao Mingyuan didn't expect that the matter was more serious than he thought. He thought for a moment and walked into the house again.

"Cousin." Cui Lanxi's cheeks were filled with tears. She wiped her face hastily and bowed her head.

Signaling her not to be polite, Zhao Mingyuan asked directly, "What happened today?"

Cui Lanxi looked up at him and said softly, "I don't know either. I went to attend the banquet hosted by my second aunt today. Shortly after I came back, the nanny next to my aunt brought my brother back with her. They said that my brother was found unconscious in my second uncle's inner house."

Cui Erlang fainted in his uncle's backyard? Zhao Mingyuan's face turned grim. Cui Shi had heard the conversation clearly and rushed in without a care for her ladylike demeanor. She pointed at Cui Erlang on the bed with a trembling finger and said bitterly, "I've heard that he behaved frivolously in his hometown, but I never thought it would go to this extent. Sister Xi, go back and tell your mother that I will never let him enter my uncle's house again."

Cui Lanxi could only cry silently without making any excuses. After a while, she raised her head and looked at her cousin and aunt with tears in her eyes, then fell to her knees with a plop. "I dare not hide it from my aunt. The sisters who used to get along very well with me have gradually cut off contact with me. It turned out that he coaxed my maid Zhuying to snoop into the ladies' boudoirs for him, and used it as a topic of conversation when we went out for drinks. My mother knew the reason but she protected my brother and kept it from me."

Cui Lanxi burst into tears. "My niece sent Zhuying back to her hometown as soon as she found out. It's not surprising that he ended up like this. It's just that - facing the accusations from the elders at home, Lanxi really can't explain herself. After thinking about it, it's better to find a nunnery far away from home, cut my hair and become a nun. This will allow me to atone for myself and my brother, and also give me peace." After saying that, she took out a pair of scissors from somewhere, and before Cui could stop her, he had already cut off a large piece of hair.

The maids seized the opportunity to grab the scissors. Cui Lanxi sat on the ground with her hair disheveled, sobbing unendingly. Cui's heart softened, and she personally helped her sit down on the kang, saying soothingly, "Xi'er, there's no need to be like this. Just stay here with your aunt. Once I've settled things, you can return home."

Cui Lanxi hugged her aunt's shoulders with both hands, revealing a section of her snow-white arm, and cried bitterly.
