229 Bringing Her Out Will Give Her Face

When Madam Qu entered Madam Cui’s house, she was surprised to find that the entire house was built of golden silk cedar.

Even among the rich families in Pingyang County, not many families could afford to build a house made of golden silk cedar.

Just for the golden silk cedar wood, it was worth buying this house.

Besides, there were many advantages to this house. Not only did it look good from the outside, but the thermal design also won her heart.

!!

The coldness of the autumn wind did not seep into the house at all, nor did the air feel stuffy. Instead, a refreshing fragrance filled the air.

Madam Qu could not help but ask curiously, “What kind of incense is lit in this house? Why does it smell so good?”

Madam Cui smiled faintly and said, “This is the Condensed Fragrance that Little Jiu developed. It’s fresh and elegant and can refresh the mind. If Madam Qu likes it, I’ll get a maidservant to send some to your room later.”

Madam Qu was slightly surprised that Cui Lingyi had such skills. Her impression of her improved slightly.

Madam Qu was very satisfied with the house in Youjia Village and wanted Madam Cui to help her find out about it. “I wonder if the houses in this village can be bought? My children are intending to stay here for a long time and I don’t want them to trouble you all too much. I want to find two suitable houses for them to attend school nearby.”

The villagers of Youjia Xillage had already settled down. The time for logging and reclamation had passed. If they wanted to build houses, they could only buy wood from the town and not cut more from the mountains.

Every house was only enough for each family to live in. If they sold their house, there would be no other houses for them to live in.

It was likely that no one would be willing to sell it.

However, Madam Cui still nodded and replied, “I’ll help you ask around.”

Some villagers might be in urgent need of money.

After Madam Cui agreed to it, Madam Qu was very happy and felt that this matter was definitely in the bag.

If she could buy two houses like Madam Cui’s house, she could still come here to escape the heat in the future.

Unexpectedly, after Madam Cui agreed to it, she did not talk about it for a few days.

The villagers here did not know etiquette and were not very respectful to her.

Moreover, Cui Lingyi had never appeared. When she asked about her, Madam Cui immediately brushed her off.

Madam Qu suppressed her anger silently, but there was no way for her to vent it.

After all, it was not appropriate for her to rush to Cui Lingyi’s house and ask her why she did not come to see her.

Qu Lianghua deliberately went to meet Cui Lingyi but did not see her once, which meant that she was deliberately avoiding him.

Madam Qu could tell that Qu Lianghua was demoralised.

Suddenly, she had an idea and finally found an excuse to ask to meet Cui Lingyi.

Madam Qu found Madam Cui and complained, “My granddaughter is naughty. I heard that Miss Cui is talented, beautiful, and knowledgeable. It would be great if she could give Xin’er some pointers.”

Qu Xin’er was really mischievous. In order to not embarrass the Qu family, Madam Qu kept an eye on her every day.

After a few days, Madam Qu felt that no matter how good the incense was, it could not save her. She had to think of a way to dump Qu Xin’er.

Madam Cui’s expression froze. Madam Qu was directly asking Cui Lingyi to help her raise her granddaughter.

It was obvious that she had ulterior motives.

Cui Lingyi’s marriage was up to herself. Madam Cui could not interfere at all.

She was about to tactfully reject Madam Qu’s plan when Cui Lingyi entered the living room with Cui Muzhi.

This was the first time Madam Qu had seen Cui Lingyi in so many days.

When Cui Lingyi entered in a simple white dress and white cape, Madam Qu finally understood why her second son was so infatuated with her.

As soon as Cui Lingyi entered, the world paled in comparison.

She really deserved to be called a beauty in the world.

Madam Qu stared at Cui Lingyi and sized her up. Seeing that her body did not appear weak and could bear children, she was slightly satisfied.

After all, the more beautiful a daughter-in-law was, the more beautiful the child would be.

Cui Lingyi was famous for her talent in the Imperial City in the past. She must be not only beautiful but also very smart.

Madam Qu’s gaze made Cui Lingyi very uncomfortable. She greeted her and wanted to go upstairs with Cui Muzhi.

Feeling ignored, Madam Qu said meaningfully, “Miss Cui is talented and beautiful. Seeing you today, you really deserve your reputation.”

Her words were filled with deliberately hidden gunpowder and meanness.

Cui Lingyi looked at her indifferently and smiled. “I’m afraid Madam Qu remembered wrongly. I’m already married.”

In an instant, she raised her seniority.

It was obvious that she wanted Madam Qu to be more polite to her.

Madam Qu choked on Cui Lingyi’s words, but she could not argue back saying that Cui Lingyi was a widow now and that it was not wrong for her to call her Miss Cui.

If she really said that, she would be extremely rude.

There was no way for her to face Madam Cui. After all, they were a family.

Madam Qu swallowed her anger. She knew that a narrow-minded person like Cui Lingyi would not discipline Qu Xin’er for her. She hurriedly bade farewell to Madam Cui and returned to her room with a stomach full of anger.

As soon as she returned to her room, Madam Qu could not help but complain to Granny Jin about Cui Lingyi. “Did you see that? With her arrogant attitude, who would marry her?”

Granny Jin retorted in her heart, it’s going to be you, but she said, “Madam, don’t be angry. It’s bad for your health.”

The more Madam Qu thought about it, the more dissatisfied she became with Cui Lingyi. They had yet to propose marriage, but her attitude was already so bad and arrogant. If she married into the family, with her husband and son supporting her, she would definitely be even more lawless.

She suddenly stood up with a solemn expression. “No, I have to make Hua’er give up on marrying Cui Lingyi.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she remembered Qu Lianghua’s threat to become a monk.

She sighed again. Forget it. If she married into the family, there would be a way to deal with her.

...

Just because she was her mother-in-law, Cui Lingyi could forget about disobeying her.

Madam Qu hesitated and her emotions kept fluctuating. When she finally made up her mind to propose marriage with the Cui family, Qu Xin’er had also thought it through.

In any case, she would have a stepmother sooner or later. Instead of other annoying women becoming her stepmother, it was better for Cui Lingyi to become her stepmother. At least she was not that annoying.

Moreover, Cui Lingyi was not pretentious. She was also good-looking, so it would give her face to take her out.

Qu Xin’er decided to take the initiative to find Cui Lingyi and make her agree to become her stepmother, cutting off other bad women’s thoughts.

While the maidservants were not looking, she found the front of Bai Wutong’s house based on her memories.

She knew that if Madam Cui could not find Cui Lingyi, it was very likely that Cui Lingyi was at this woman’s house.

Bai Wutong was leading everyone to make mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival. When she realized that the mooncakes in this world did not have lotus seed and yolk filling, she planned to teach everyone how to make egg yolk mooncakes.

She brought out two pots of fresh salted duck eggs. “Let’s prepare the ingredients first. We’ll crack the duck eggs in half and take out the yolks.”

Everyone nodded, picked up the duck egg, and cracked it. Xiaobai suddenly stood up and howled in the direction of the door. Everyone looked up and saw Qu Xin’er standing by the door, who was afraid of Xiaobai and did not dare to come in.
