Chapter 532 Reading Comprehension
The young couple engaged in a gossip exchange under the covers, with Jiang Shangxian occasionally letting out a suppressed roar like a screaming chicken:
"Oh my God!"
"No!"
"what!"
"why is it like this!"
"Really!"
Although Cui Bianxu felt that his wife's flattery was a bit exaggerated, it successfully aroused his desire to talk.
Xiao Cui tried his best to depict the various subtle expressions of the people present, and finally concluded with a shrewd and calculating manner: "You haven't seen Cui Wei like that, so you think the old man really loves him that much. He looks smart for nothing. I think he is just a fool."
"What do you mean?" Xiao Jiang cooperated very well and showed an ignorant and curious expression.
She actually didn't understand. Just based on Cui Quan's planning for the past twenty years, didn't that mean he loved his grandson?
More than twenty years!!!
Cui Bianxu narrowed his eyes and spoke eloquently, "Most people in the clan are those who will not do anything without profit. Moreover, in the clan, nothing is more important than inheritance. Although Cui Wei is the eldest son and grandson, he is in poor health. Tell me, why did this aunt give birth to Shiqilang at such a young age?"
The phrase "an old clam carrying a pearl" sounds a bit harsh. Xiao Jiang feels that modern people are more proficient in the art of language - elderly mothers.
Jiang Shangxian wanted to remind him not to curse himself when he cursed others, but he decided not to. His little Cui always had some sense of being a living being who traveled outside the clan, so he took over the conversation and said, "But I see that uncle seems to think highly of big brother..."
Although it was the first time she saw it, she could still see Cui Zhou's fatherly love that was so strong that it was about to overflow.
Cui Bianxu hummed as he held her small hand, playing with the dents on the back of her fleshy hand with his thumb. "Auntie isn't as simple as she looks. Uncle values his eldest son, but Shiqilang was born after she went through hell at such an old age. Her palms and backs of her hands are made of flesh. I'm afraid that in her heart, Shiqilang, a healthy and lively child, is much more precious than her son who has been sick for over thirty years."
Not long after Zheng Bojiang gave birth to Cui Wei, before she had even gotten over her joy, she discovered that the child was born with a congenital deficiency.
Just the word "congenital deficiency" wiped out her pride.
What's more, for some reason, when she was pregnant, she vomited everything she ate and even half of the water she drank. She also suffered a lot during childbirth.
It would be fine if such suffering could bring her a healthy and intelligent eldest son, as that would be her reliance for gaining a firm foothold in the Cui family.
But the sickly eldest son is a different story.
Others may not know, but he knows.
Cui Bianxu was naughty when he was a child. He would climb trees and climb over walls. Even in his own home, he was unwilling to take the usual route.
Several times he saw the maid in the first house secretly decocting medicine. At first he thought the medicine was for Cui Wei, but later he found out that it was for Zheng Bojiang.
The child was very curious. He saw the maid secretly take the medicine residue to a secluded place and bury it. After the people left, he used a dagger to dig it out and took some of it to show people.
Only then did I realize that it was a woman's way of regulating her body.
Unfortunately, after many years of preparation and finally getting pregnant, she only gave birth to Shisan Niang.
He still clearly remembers how forced his aunt's smile was when she found out it was a daughter.
I was young then and didn't take it seriously, but now I think that unlike Cui Zhou who was obsessed with curing him, Zheng Bojiang, as a mother, wanted a healthy son who could support the family and maintain her status.
After all, in this family, even if Cui Zhou lost his eldest son, he still had a concubine's son to barely take his place.
The one who really has no way out is Zheng Bojiang.
Jiang Shangxian's mind raced. In this world, some people favored the eldest son while others favored the youngest son. Who could tell which way people's hearts would lean?
The strange thing is that they are both grandsons, so why does Cui Quan have to hang himself on a tree?
Anyone who has attended nine years of compulsory education knows that teachers say that when doing reading comprehension, one must consider the context. Jiang Shangxian followed this line of thought and pondered carefully: "How old is your grandfather this year?"
"Sixty-eight." Cui Bianxu stroked her head, knowing that they had guessed the same thing.
Lee Sin, you found the highlight!
Xiao Jiang, with his messy hair, didn't dodge. He leaned his elbows on his legs, his palms supporting his cheeks. With a serious expression on his round face, he made a bold inference: "He wants to use Cui Wei to test the medicine?"
At Cui Quan's age, he could be forced to use summoning magic to see the King of Hell at any time and anywhere.
If at this time he still placed his hopes on a grandson who might die earlier than himself, it would indeed be inconsistent with the temperament of the clan head.
If the heads of the Cui family were all emotional people, how could the Cui family have survived to this day?
Cui Bianxu was extremely satisfied. This was the biggest reason why he liked chatting with Xiao Jiang - he could understand everything at once and know everything at once.
"He wants Zhao Tuo's longevity secret, but it's just a rumor. Even if he really gets his hands on it, how can he use it without having someone test it out?"
I am not sure if this kind of thing can be used by outsiders, and it will be troublesome if it is used by members of the Cui family. As for slaves...how can slaves be worthy of such a thing?
But it would be different if it was given to Cui Wei, who was already half dead.
If Cui Wei is really fully recovered, then everything will be fine.
Even if he died in an accident, neither outsiders nor the Cui family would find anything strange.
The eldest wife and her husband have Shiqilang, and a dead son is no match for a living one.
The only one who needs some attention is Wang Xianzi, but he is a fool.
Nothing to worry about.
Xiao Jiang, who was covered in the quilt, didn't know whether it was because of the lack of air circulation or because the gossip was too explosive, but she was sweating on her back.
He couldn't help but reveal his eyes, nose, and mouth from the edge and breathe heavily: "Even so, why doesn't he exchange the position of Patriarch of the Cui family with you?"
Although she didn't want to be Cui's clan wife, Xiao Jiang couldn't help but stand up for Cui Bianxu.
How is our little Cui no better than that sickly Cui Wei?
Xiao Jiang then found that he had achieved the KPI: "Silence Xiao Cui with one sentence".
Cui Bianxu, covered in the quilt, remained silent for a long time. He was reminiscing.
Of course, there was also some embarrassment and Hong Wen. This kind of bias was something he couldn't deny even if he didn't want to admit it.
When did Cui Quan start to cut off his legitimate path to inheriting the Cui family, or was he prepared to abandon him before he was even born?
He had never seriously considered the question of who would inherit the Cui family's throne. The eldest son was the eldest legitimate wife, so it was only natural for him to inherit the Cui family...
Jiang Shangxian pulled his face back and called out affectionately, "Cui ah..."
Sorry, the user you called is out of service area...
What sad thing is this?
Jiang Shangxian was not very good at comforting people. The air in the quilt was really thin. She rolled her eyes, and suddenly pushed her arms upwards, intending to lift the quilt directly.
