Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 526 The Power of the Top Troublemaker

The air in the room stagnated a little at the thought of a separation. Several eyes pierced through him like knives. Jiang Shangxian felt his breathing become difficult.

Not to mention the Cui family, even if she knew in advance that Cui Bianxu had this idea, she did not expect that he would propose to separate the family so suddenly on such a day.

You should know that the issue of dividing the family has been something that is not easily spoken about in China for thousands of years. Even after the reform and opening up, many elderly people in rural areas and even in cities are still unwilling to divide the family.

Even in the rural areas of the Tang Dynasty today, those families who are so poor that their pants have holes in them are unwilling to divide their property easily.

But then again, just as a tree grows bigger, so too do people grow bigger.

Not to mention what the illegitimate children of the third house are like, just look at the current situation of the first and second houses. Even if they don't split up, they will get beaten to death sooner or later.

Her little Cui is not a good-tempered person. If the eldest wife continues to do something weird, Cui Bianxu, the troublemaker, might really go to the eldest wife with his fists as big as sandbags to teach them a lesson one by one.

As for the group of people in the first house, some are old, some are weak, and some are sick. If Cui Shuhua punches them too accurately, she might have to open the business.

"Kuro!"

Cui Zhou was the first to speak. His calm face flushed red, as if he was furious. "Don't divide the family while your parents are still alive! This is the rule set by our ancestors! Your father never even mentioned dividing the family, and you, a junior, have only been eating the emperor's food for a few days, yet you're so arrogant! Are you trying to piss off your grandfather to death? You unfilial thing!"

He spoke quickly and urgently, and in the end he directly accused Cui Bianxu of being unfilial.

The Tang Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. If this word were to spread today, it would definitely be regarded as Cui Yi, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, being unfilial to his grandfather and forcing the family to separate on the second day of his wedding.

Jiang Shangxian, the new bride, must also bear the blame.

Since ancient times, people have always liked to put all kinds of blame on women.

Cui Wei also coughed continuously, and his thin face became redder as the blood rushed up: "Ninth brother, you, you can't talk nonsense, cough cough cough..."

Wang Xianzi was shocked and frightened. His face turned pale as he patted his back. He said anxiously, "Don't worry, Dalang. Ninth brother was just saying that in anger. It's my fault. I didn't treat Ninth brother's wife well a few days ago. That's why they were angry. I will apologize to them right away!"

As she spoke, she slid to the ground and bowed deeply to Jiang Shangxian and Cui Bianxu: "Ninth brother, sister-in-law, it was my fault that day and I didn't think things through. That's why you got upset. We are supposed to be the closest family. If you make outsiders laugh at you because of me, I won't dare close my eyes even if I die..."

Jiang Shangxian's air defense alarm was raised to the highest level, and his head was beeping non-stop. Without even waiting to see Xiao Cui's expression, his legs softened and he fell to the ground as if quickly and slowly.

Xiao Jiang today is no longer the Xiao Jiang of yesterday. After the flower banquet, she reflected on her life again. Now she looked like Lin Daiyu. Her eyes instantly turned red. "Sister-in-law, even if you're angry, don't shorten my life. Jiulang and I just got married and promised to grow old together. If you do this, I'm afraid I won't live to see that day..."

In the emergency, Xiao Jiang actually didn't know what he was saying. He just babbled nonsense with a wronged look on his face. He only remembered that he must not let this bad woman put the blame on him.

Otherwise, she would cause unrest in the family as soon as she entered the house, and would be labeled as the eldest sister-in-law kneeling down. She would be divorced tomorrow!

Wang Xianzi didn't expect her to react so quickly. After a moment of hesitation, she immediately covered half of her face with a handkerchief and wiped her tears, saying, "If it weren't for this, Grandfather and Uncle are from the same mother and have never had any bad relations with each other. Why would Ninth Brother want to split up the family? Ninth Brother's sister-in-law, please persuade Ninth Brother. This family cannot be divided."

She also had her own little plans in mind. The family could be divided, but not at this time. She had no children, and if the family was divided, the Cui family might fall into the hands of the young Shiqilang in the future.

Furthermore, if the family was divided and Cui Wei secured his position, could she, the childless first wife, continue to stay in the Cui family?

Now that Cui Bianxu is restraining her, it is most beneficial for her.

If you want to act, I will act with you!

Jiang Shangxian had already used all his skills in reading the Red Mansion: "Sister-in-law, you, you are trying to force me to death? How can a woman keep such a big thing secret? I've only been married for a day, and you dare to instigate such a big thing? If you don't believe me, I will die a miserable death!"

As she spoke, she imitated Lin Daiyu's gesture of closing her eyes and letting tears flow down her little face, and she leaned limply to the side. As a result, she lost control and her left forehead hit the ground with a loud thud.

Xiao Jiang cursed her father in her heart out of pain, secretly thinking that an actor's job really does require skills, she couldn't even get her positioning right!

It happened so quickly that by the time Zhao Yue and Cui Shuhua reacted, Xiao Jiang was already dizzy and his forehead was a little red.

Zhao Yue let out a groundhog scream and rushed forward to hug her. The tears that had just been held back burst out again. She angrily shouted at Wang Xianzi, "What are you doing? She's young, just married, and you're forcing her to death? Is this the rule of the Taiyuan Wang family?"

Being hugged by his tall mother-in-law, Jiang Shangxian immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Great, help has come from the venue!

Cui Shuhua slammed her teacup down on the table and sternly rebuked her, "Sister-in-law, you're still talking about teaching Yi'er's daughter-in-law some manners? I think Wei'er's daughter-in-law is the one who needs a proper lesson. If the future consort of our Cui family behaves like this, she'll end up like Wang's family sooner or later!"

Without waiting for her to answer, she turned to Cui Wei, who had just stopped coughing and was breathing heavily, and said, "Wei'er, you are weak and shouldn't work hard on weekdays, but you should understand the principle of teaching your son by his bedside and your wife by his pillow, right? I won't talk about the flower banquet earlier to save face for your wife, but what about now? Are you bullying the new daughter-in-law?"

Cui Wei's breathing stopped and he started coughing again.

Cui Shuhua rolled her eyes at him and directed her barrage at Cui Zhe: "Second brother, you usually love to play and don't pay attention to worldly affairs, but today is Yi'er and his wife's big day, and you just watch others bully your son and daughter-in-law? As a man, it is your duty to protect your wife and children at home. If you can't even do this, I don't think you have to go out in the future!"

Cui Zhe: No, I just haven’t found a chance to interrupt…

Cui Shuhua ignored the elusive quibbles in his eyes and said to Cui Zhou with a shake of her handkerchief, "Brother, Yi'er is the highest-ranking official in the Cui family, and he's the only one from our direct line. Even if there's any youthful arrogance, you and I, as elders, can handle it. Why do you have to label him unfilial? Are you trying to get Yi'er dismissed from office?"

I really hope that Cui Bianxu will lose his iron rice bowl. Cui Zhou:.....

Jiang Shangxian, who was pretending to cry in his mother-in-law's arms, shook his ears. Okay, okay, they are indeed top troublemakers. Drag them all into this, no one can escape!
