Cui Ling heard the sound and went out. In the blue light of the frosty morning, Wu Lang stood upright under the eaves.

And at the door not far away, there was a man in a plain robe lying half-lying, covering his legs and moaning.

She frowned, took a few steps forward and pulled Wu Lang's sleeves, "What's wrong?"

The man curled up in a ball on the ground seemed to have seen the savior. He immediately stood up despite the pain, pointed at Wulang with one finger and cursed, "Sister Jiu, you have to take good care of your own man. Don't let him misbehave when he meets everyone."

!”

He wanted to step forward and continue to struggle with Wu Lang, but when he thought that Wu Lang had just pushed him lightly, he fell painfully, and he was a little scrupulous, so he took a few steps back.

But he still kept saying bad words, "There is a funeral at home, and the ninth uncle is so good at teasing my brother-in-law's concubine. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, you are really capable."

Concubine?

Cui Ling was stunned for a moment, and then guessed the identity of the useless man in front of him.

He looks like a human being, but when he talks, it's like a dog's mouth that can't spit out ivory. His posture, expression and behavior are exactly like the second aunt, plus the so-called concubine, it seems that this is

He is the famous fifth cousin.

Don't blame Cui Ling, who has lived in Anning's Mansion for fifteen years, but doesn't even recognize his real cousin.

This is really because the Cui family has too many people, and they all look the same. She doesn't deliberately make friends with them, and they don't bother to pay attention to such an inconspicuous cousin in the fifth house, so really, it's just during the family banquet.

Saw it a few times from a distance.

She couldn't remember the appearance of her fifth cousin at all.

But she could never forget the "heroic" deeds of her fifth cousin. Just last year, he was beaten half to death by Shi Xiujin for forcing Song Ziyue.

In the end, if the old lady of the Yuan family hadn't intervened and tried to find a solution, he might have died.

Cui Ling's eyes were slightly sharp, and his tone became very cold without realizing it, "What are you talking about, fifth cousin? You also know that there is a funeral at home, so don't speak nonsense and make others laugh."

While she was talking, she suddenly caught sight of a skirt under the plum blossom tree outside the courtyard. A cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She paused and said, "I don't know what my fifth cousin heard, but I think it must be a misunderstanding. Let's not mention my husband's character, just talk about your concubine. I don't know that there are other things in this world.

How many beautiful people can be favored by a man like my husband as a concubine."

Cui Ling sneered, "Fifth cousin thinks that everyone likes other people's women?"

These words made Cui Wu's face turn green and red.

He paused for a moment and stammered for a long time before he managed to say, "Just now I clearly saw Yuan Wulang having an affair with my concubine Song on the path over there. Could it be that I wronged him?"

Cui Ling snorted coldly. "Then please ask your fifth cousin to go back and ask your concubine Song in person. See if you have wronged my husband."

Wulang had not rested all night and was already very tired. After Cui Wu made such a fuss, he felt even more irritable.

He gently held Cui Ling into his arms and said in a stiff tone, "Ling'er, ignore that idiot."

Cui Wu immediately became angry when he heard this. He suddenly became resolute and said, "Yuan Wulang, who do you think is a fool? No. Today I have to drag you to judge in front of everyone."

He held on to his limp legs and feet and forced himself forward to grab Wulang's sleeves.

Wulang threw it away and flicked his shirt in disgust, "You are really stupid to say you are stupid. You don't go back and look at your face. How can the concubine of a person like you be a peerless beauty? Is she still a fairy?

Descend to earth? Can you compare to my wife?"

He said contemptuously, "I don't care whether she is the Song family or the Zhang family and the Ma family. You should take care of your own woman and don't bark like a vicious dog."

The news of Mrs. An Ningbo's death has spread. From today on, all the families related by marriage will come over one after another to express their condolences. At this time, the house is in a mess, and they don't even try to help tidy it up, but they still catch people.

They are making a fuss over this low-level misunderstanding.

Wu Lang thought to himself that if there were such idiots in An Ning's house, he might be exhausted.

Cui Ling couldn't help but get angry when she saw that her fifth cousin was still entangled.

She called a few stout women over with a cold face and invited Cui Wuqiang out, "Fifth cousin, you can take care of yourself!"

Then there was a bang, and the door to the courtyard was closed, and two women were posted to guard it.

After entering the room, she said apologetically to Wulang, "I'm so tired that you didn't have any rest last night, and you still have to be so angry. I'm so sorry."

Although she doesn't agree with Anning's Mansion, after all, this is her natal home.

It was because of her that Wu Lang stayed here all night, helping her to make arrangements for this and that. He was also inexplicably pestered by Cui Wu all morning.

A helpless sigh came from above his head. Under Wulang's tired face, his eyes were so gentle, "Ling'er, do you and I want to share each other with me?"

He shook his head, "Forget about those bad things, how is your father-in-law? I heard from Huaishu that the Tang Dynasty doctor came here and went out with a smile. Has your father-in-law already survived this ordeal?"

Cui Ling finally had a hint of joy on her face, and she nodded happily, "Yeah, my father used the decoction of the Tang Dynasty doctor, and he was fine all night, and he didn't vomit blood again. The Tang Dynasty doctor came in the morning, and after checking his pulse, he said that his father's condition was stable.

Coming down."

She looked up at Wu Lang, with a few tears in her eyes, "Husband, if you weren't here, my father, a good man, would have been destroyed by those people this time."

The people in Anning's Mansion used the excuse that the imperial doctor said there was no chance of saving, so they no longer contributed money and effort to help Cui Chengkai Yan's treatment. It was clear that he could be cured of the disease with hard work, but for money, these people wanted to see each one of them.

Die with him.

Cui Ling could no longer use words to describe her mood at the moment. This rotten Anning Mansion really made her feel sick.

But she still had to stay here for the sake of worldly morality, pretending to be a filial son and a virtuous grandson, to express her condolences to Mrs. An Ningbo, the accomplice who killed her mother Luo Shi, and also had to stand up for the fifth house for the sake of her younger brothers and sisters.

Wulang entered the house and sat beside Cui Chengkai for a while, "Did the Tang imperial physician tell you when your father-in-law would wake up?"

He paused, "Mrs. An and her brothers and sisters are still in Mrs. An Ningbo's yard. They haven't rested all night. They will be very sleepy when they come back later. I'm afraid they won't have the energy to take care of the patients anymore. I will have to work hard for you again."

"

Cui Ling nodded, "Tang Imperial Physician didn't say anything. But I guess it won't take too long. When my father wakes up, Mrs. An Ningbo will hide it from him in advance to prevent him from being in a bad mood and affecting his health."

She thought for a while and decided that it still wouldn't work, "Let's find an excuse to bring her mother and younger siblings back. They are very tired. It's definitely not possible for the little ones to endure like this. The fifth house is in a special situation, and I don't think anyone will find fault with it."

.”

Even if someone insists on running, it doesn't matter. Anyway, she has made up her mind to separate the fifth house from Anning's house. Who cares about other people's eyes?

As for the future of my younger brothers and sisters...

Just as Wulang said, with Anning's Mansion like this, I'm afraid it's running out of time. It will be difficult to regain the glory of the past.

How can a declining Hanying family be as useful as a powerful family that is at its peak? As long as the Yuan family does not collapse and has a brother-in-law like Yuan Wulang, the future of the children will not be much different.

Wulang frowned when he thought of the smoky environment there and the Cui family's excuses for each other.

He hurriedly said to Huai Shu, "Bring back my wife and several young masters and ladies. Just say that something happened, and if anyone insists on getting to the bottom of it, just find a way to cover it up."

Watching Huai Shu leave, he sighed deeply, "Ling'er, now I finally understand why you said you liked to hide in your house when you were at your parents' house. The Cui family is really... really..."

It's so indescribable.

Cui Ling also sighed, "There is no separation of families. So many people are crowded into one house. When there are more people, they will hide their thoughts and have more conflicts. If there are many monks and few people, money will inevitably be tight. This person, when money is tight, he will

It’s easy to be mean and stingy, and over time, nothing will go right.”

She leaned her head on Wu Lang's arms, "So, I am so lucky to be able to marry you. There are not many such a clear-minded family in Shengjing City as the Yuan family."

An Ning Bo Cui Hongjin is definitely not the only one who likes to think of himself as the head of the family. If the Cui family is in such a situation, can other families be better off?

Looking at the mighty and huge family, in fact, there is only an empty frame left, and the inside has long been hollowed out.

After a while, An and her three children were picked up.

Cui Ling told them about Cui Chengkai's situation, comforted them a few words, and then asked someone to send them off to rest.

The three little ones were very tired early in the morning. When they heard that their father was not dead and would not die, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't know what to do or what to say, so they had to say hello to Cui Ling and Wulang and then returned to themselves.

's house.

But An insisted on staying, and she said sheepishly, "Grandma Jiu has worked hard all night yesterday, and now it's time for me to stay here."

She took advantage of the opportunity when Wu Lang went out to fetch things and whispered, "Grandma Jiugu should go to the old lady's side and then go back to Yuan's house to rest for a while, so as not to let the old lady in your house have any objections."

Logically speaking, Cui Ling is already married. Mrs. An Ningbo only needs to come here to express her condolences, and there is no need to keep a vigil. However, she has not returned home all night, and she wants to continue to stay like this. Mrs. An is afraid that she will be harmed by the Yuan family.

The pressure there.

Cui Ling couldn't help but feel relieved to see that Mrs. An was already considering her from her perspective.

The human heart is still kind after all. As long as you are willing to pay, in most cases, you will always get corresponding rewards.

She smiled and said, "Mom is too worried. Grandma is not that kind of person. Wulang and I have informed her when we go out, and we have always sent people back to the Yuan family to report the situation here. She will not tell her

Something like that."

After a pause, she added, "Mom has been tired for several nights. It seems that she will also go out to watch the funeral tonight. Let's take advantage of this time to get some rest first, so as not to exhaust herself too."

Anshi hesitated, "What about grandma?"

Cui Ling's eyes moved, "I'm not going to the old lady's place anyway. I'll wait for my father to drink the medicinal soup later. I'll rest here for a while. I won't be tired."

An asked hesitantly, "Auntie, why don't you go over there and show your face? My sister-in-law was whispering about you to her second sister-in-law just now. I'm afraid they will set it up for you." (To be continued.)
