Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 225
A man has to be fed so that there are no troubles.

The meaning of "feeding" does not only refer to the stomach.

Why, for more than 1000 years, the ideal wife of a man has always been in the hall and in the kitchen, with a lady outside and a lady on the bed?
Because dogs and men all think so, from princes and generals to traffickers and pawns, without exception.

Wang, who is a married woman again, is undoubtedly unqualified.

But Cui Linqian still endured it. He is already middle-aged and has no qualifications to be willful. Not only can he not take an instant trip, he also has the courage to try an instant marriage.

How could the marriage of the two big families be child's play, if he dared to divorce his wife, what reason would he give?
Your widows and daughters are as sultry as wood on the bed, not as good as my right hand...

The Taiyuan royal family promised not to kill him.

Without an emotional basis, the relationship between husband and wife is naturally polite and respectful.

Wang's etiquette was grand, Cui Linqian sighed, and put on a smiling face: "Ma'am, you are very polite."

Wang's eyelids drooped and said blessings.

Cui Linqian was about to walk towards the front hall when Wang suddenly stopped him.

"Husband, please stop, I have something to say."

Cui Linqian turned and looked at her: "Madam, what's the matter?"

Mrs. Wang said softly: "The eldest son of the third house of the Wang family in Taiyuan is on his tenth birthday, and he and Cui Jie are a match made in heaven. Yesterday, the third house sent people to discuss this matter with my concubine..."

Cui Linqian frowned: "Jie'er has long been betrothed to the grandson of the Duke of England, how can the Cui family break the engagement lightly? There is no need to talk about this matter."

Wang said unwillingly: "Husband, although the Duke of England is prominent, he is only rich and powerful for three generations. It is hard to say what the future will be. How can it compare with our thousand-year-old family? In order for Jie'er to find a lover, find a better home. , Husband, please think twice."

"Besides, Jie'er is not satisfied with the marriage that her husband made for her, otherwise she would not run away from home. If the husband loves her daughter, why not call off this marriage so that Jie'er can be at ease, and I have a sense of your father-daughter relationship. A chance for a complete restoration.”

Cui Linqian held back his breath and sighed: "After Jie'er escaped from marriage and left home, she went to Yingying's estate. Do you know about this?"

Wang nodded: "I know."

Cui Linqian continued: "Jie'er met her fiancé Li Qinzai by chance when she was at the Li Family Village. After the two got along, they gradually developed feelings for each other. A few days ago, the British Duke sent me a letter, planning to ask someone to calculate the auspicious date. , Let the two children officially get married."

"You suddenly want to divorce, how can my Cui family hold its head up? Isn't Madam afraid that my Cui family will become the laughing stock of the world?"

Mrs. Wang bit her lips, her tone was soft but firm: "Husband, how can the three generations of honored pets compare with me for a thousand years? The young man of the Li family is not a good match for Jie'er, and the Wang family of Taiyuan and the Cui family of Qingzhou complement each other. Private merchants are all..."

Cui Linqian interrupted her with a wave of his hand, and said, "Isn't your husband and I married? Why involve the younger generation? Besides, a few years ago, the emperor issued an edict prohibiting intermarriage between families. It is already against the order, if the younger generation is involved again, the imperial court should be afraid."

Mrs. Wang smiled, with a cold smile: "If it weren't for the concerted efforts of all the great families back then to help the Li family, Li Jia'an would have overthrown the former Sui Dynasty and sat on the throne of the emperor? The position of the emperor has been firmly established, and he wants to take advantage of the aristocratic family. There is no such thing in the world. Generally speaking, which family in the world takes the so-called imperial edict banning marriages seriously?"

Cui Linqian's heart sank.

In a few simple words, he suddenly realized that the woman in front of him was unusual. Her thoughts, her words, and even what she wanted to do had a lot of ambition.

Cui Linqian suddenly regretted this marriage.

Although the Cui family in Qingzhou is also a thousand-year-old clan, compared to the other five surnames and seven sects, the Cui family in Qingzhou is the most honest and low-key, and has never shown its edge.

However, after marrying a woman from the Taiyuan Wang family, many things became complicated.A family that has been a queen of the dynasty, the confidence and ambition are really different from other families.

Is it a blessing or a curse for this woman who has no respect for the court and the emperor?

Cui Linqian was silent, while Wang's words were soft but pressing.

When she married into the Cui family, she never thought of being a low-browed and stern daughter-in-law. She was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan, and she has been fascinated by her since she was a child. Under her soft appearance, she actually has a very strong personality.

Cui Linqian, who had not been married for a long time, finally realized it slowly.

Damn, it seems to have been blackmailed!

As the head of the Cui family, Cui Linqian naturally knows why the Wang family insisted on retiring from the Li family.

The relationship between the Wang family of Taiyuan and the Duke of England can be described as irreconcilable.When the king and queen were abolished, it was the Duke of England who handed a sentence in front of the emperor.

This sentence is not just the meaning of the British prince himself, but a implicit statement, if you want to abolish the queen, just abolish it, the military will help you suppress it, and guarantee that no one dares to speak out.

As a result, Queen Wang was abolished, and the new Empress Wu was not polite to her. In the end, she and Concubine Xiao Shu were both hanged and killed in Taiji Palace.

The Wang family in Taiyuan suddenly fell from the infinite scenery to the bottom overnight, and the role played by the British Duke Li Ji was not insignificant.

Now this Wang married into the Cui family, and repeatedly urged her to divorce. Cui Linqian knew that she was not doing it for the Cui family, nor for Cui Jie to find a so-called good match.

However, Cui Linqian is also the patriarch of a thousand-year-old clan, how can she do what she wishes?
It would be a joke if a generation of patriarchs were easily manipulated by a woman.

"Don't mention this matter again, I don't agree." Cui Linqian suddenly darkened.

Mrs. Wang was taken aback, but she didn't dare to confront Cui Linqian face to face. She bit her lip, lowered her eyebrows and said calmly, "Yes."

After getting married, the atmosphere between the husband and wife became cold for the first time.

A servant came in a hurry, the big family pays special attention to etiquette, this servant is undoubtedly breaking the rules by running around in the mansion.

The Wang family became angry immediately, and shouted: "Is there no rule? It is important to observe the etiquette. If you come, you will be punished twenty times!"

Cui Linqian glanced at her, his eyes turned cold, but he didn't say anything.

The servants panicked and pleaded guilty: "Mistress, please forgive me, the villain has something urgent to report."

Cui Linqian said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

"Outside the door, there were orders from the British government to come. There are more than ten people, and they are still in custody... Two noble members of the Wang family, those two seem to have broken their legs, and a group of people are outside the door. "

Cui Linqian was surprised and said: "A servant of the Wang family? Why is he being detained by the trilogy of the British government?"

As he spoke, he quickly glanced at Mrs. Wang.

Wang's face was ashen, but his eyes turned away with a guilty conscience.

Cui Linqian seemed to understand something, and his face also turned livid, but before he had time to reprimand Wang, he said in a deep voice, "Go, go out and have a look."

Outside the vicissitudes and simplicity of the gate of the Cui family's ancestral house, two servants of the Wang family, a man and a woman, knelt facing the gate, their hands bound behind their backs with ropes, and more than a dozen members of the Li family lined up behind a man and a woman, holding a knife in one hand handle, staring at the gate of Cui's house indifferently.

After a long time, the door of Cui's house opened slowly, and Cui Linqian and Wang Shi hurried out.

Seeing the Patriarch of the Cui family come out, the first member of the Li family trilogy first cupped his fists to Cui Linqian, and then shouted: "By the order of the fifth young master of the British government, the Wang family of Taiyuan is arrogant and arrogant. , Follow me, in front of Mistress Cui's family, to destroy the hands and feet of this pair of evil servants!"

"Wu Shaolang also said that if he dared to separate him from Miss Cui's family and poach his corner, Wu Shaolang would lead his troops to burn down the ancestral house of the royal family in Taiyuan!"

"Come on, do it, abolish this pair of evil servants!"

Cui Linqian's eyelids twitched, and Wang was even more outraged. The couple actually said in unison: "Wait a minute!"

However, when the words fell to the ground, Li Family Buqu had already raised the thick stick in his hand, and slammed it down on the pair of kneeling evil servants.

After a few screams, the pair of evil servants fell unconscious on the ground, their hands and feet were bent strangely, apparently they had been completely disabled.
