My Beautiful Wife, Please Give Me Some Pin Money! 37: To Interrogat Aunt Cui

Proofread by Claire.KK

Aunt Cui smiled. “He-he, no one wants to kill him. It’s the G.o.d who need him.

She still said the same as she once said. Xie Mengxuan knocked on the table with a smile and stretched out her hand. “If Aunt Cui tell me the truth, I will some day help Aunt Cui reach the position that you have been dreaming of.

Aunt Cui had a certain hesitancy, but soon she made up her mind. It’s widely said that one servant did not serve two masters. Although she was not a slave, she could not have the defection. Now that she had listened to the man’s words, she would gain nothing if she agreed to do something for him and then change her mind. She was not stupid.

Aunt Cui’s manner was slightly different from other peasant women in the village. She didn’t sound like ignorant, but her daily behaviors expose no evidence for suspicion.

Xie Mengxuan is a maiden of a great family, her speech and deeds are deeply influenced by the family. Her elegant disposition couldn’t be concealed even if she wore clothes made of coa.r.s.e materials.

“Girl, you are like a porcelain. I am like a stone on the ground. If we fight with each other, it’s hard to decide which one is the winner.” Aunt Cui said after a while.

Aunt Cui was threatening Xie Mengxuan. Hearing that, Xie just smiled and returned the four words to aunt Cui, “Just have a try.”

“It seems that you come here to irritate me. But I don’t have the time, please go out!” Aunt Cui rolled her eyes, which explicitly showed her contempt for Xie Mengxuan.

Xie Mengxuan looked at her for a while, and then she chuckled, “Aunt Cui, I know that you are planning for a better life. But there isn’t only person that can help you.

“I love my husband whole-heartily. And I also have the fidelity with the partners.h.i.+p. If I turn traitor, probably I will lose my life.” Aunt Cui raised her head slightly with a little arrogance. She looked down at Xie and said with a smile, “You both are from aristocratic families, I don’t think you will be affected whether things fail or not.

Aunt Cui surely was clear of such affairs. Xie Mengxuan smiled sardonically. But Aunt Cui seemed to forget something important.

“Aunt Cui, do you know the ident.i.ty of the man that you serve.” Xie Mengxuan took the initiative to ask her.

Aunt Cui was stunned at once, staring at Xie Mengxuan silently.

Xie Mengxuan smiled and continued, “You have to think about it. Even if the person behind you has the higher position than my family, you should know your ident.i.ty that you are just a tool for him that would be discarded after you are fully used. But it is not difficult for me to quietly destroy your family.

Xie Mengxuan said seriously when Cui Zhuang’s face had changed. He was about to open his mouth when Aunt Cui grabbed him and sneered, “You don’t need to threaten me, but thank you for reminding me. I will ask for more kindness and protection from the people behind me.” Aunt Cui was quite shrewd.

Xie Mengxuan also wanted to bang the table and then scold them with threat. But she disdained to do that. So she stopped talking, while Aunt Cui acted as if she were the winner.

Xie Mengxuan stared at her with cold, gloomy eyes. Seeing that, Aunt Cui restrained herself a little. She did not know the real ident.i.ty of Xie Mengxuan, but her jewelry which was sent out to the p.a.w.nshop had proved that the woman was either rich or powerful.

“If you really want to protect Geng Zhishan, you might as well dress Geng Zhishan up so he can go with dignity.” Aunt Cui sneered.

“It’s rational that I should give you and Geng Zhishan some money as rewards someday, because you and Geng Zhishan have been kind to me. But now it seems that Aunt Cui has helped me save it.”

After so many talks, Xie Mengxuan knew that it wouldn’t make any difference, so she didn’t have to waste her times. She stood up, put on the rain coat and went away in the rain.

She wanted to ask why Cui was targeting Geng Zhishan, but she thought no result would come out any way and it was foolish of her to come here today.

Standing in the heavy rain, Xie Mengxuan frowned. She couldn’t believe that she should have lost her calmness because of the man.

As soon as she left, Aunt Cui patted her chest and took a sip of yellow millet wine, “Oh my G.o.d; oh my G.o.d. I was scared to death.”

The village leader shook his head and smoked, while Cui Zhuang was confused, “Mom, why are you so scared?”

“Didn’t you feel frightened? Her eyes sent chills up my spine, which seemed to penetrate what I was thinking. I practically jumped out of my skin.” Aunt Cui said grumpily.

The sorceress entered from outside: “Do you know her in detail? What if one day she forces us back to where we start because of today’s entanglement.

“Don’t worry, I have my eyes open. As we’ve planned, Geng Zhishan should be sacrificed to the Mountain G.o.d in tomorrow afternoon.

Aunt Cui struck the table and said in a peremptory tone. The sorceress nodded. They were now in the same s.h.i.+t and no one could break away.

Xie Mengxuan came back to Geng’s house. As soon as she took off the gown, Gu Yusheng gave the dry tower to her, and blamed sulkily, “You’re too impulsive. You know it’s not good to act rashly, otherwise it will alert the enemy

I thought, they were playing bad tricks, but now it seems to be a complicated and insidious trap. Xie Mengxuan took the tower to wipe her long hair and said in a low voice.

Looking her expressions, Gu Yusheng could know the action she took this time had been going badly. He could not be fully aware of what she did, but it was also easy to guess.

Xie Mengxuan’s face darkened again, but didn’t say anything else. She wiped her hair and then asked: “Is Uncle Luo here?”

“Yes.” Gu Yusheng answered and sighed with no more persuasion. Her obstinacy was out of his imagination. So he did not continue to persuade her.

Xie Mengxuan came to the cabin and knocked the door. When Uncle Luo heard the sound, he opened his eyes.

“Come in.” His hoa.r.s.e voice slowly rang.

Xie Mengxuan pushed the door open and sat in front of Uncle Luo.

“Anything?” Uncle Luo asked

Xie Mengxuan looked at Uncle Luo for a long time before she asked directly: “Please help save Geng Zhishan tomorrow.”

Uncle Luo inquired in a deep voice with an arch lift eyebrow: “Do you remember your ident.i.ty?”

Xie Mengxuan was shocked when she heard that. She didn’t know where Uncle Luo came from, whether he was a friend or enemy. But she could recognize the jade pedant in his waist. Also, that was why she could be so brave to ask him.

She lowered her head and responded: “Yes, I do.”

Uncle Luo said solemnly with gloomy eyes: “So why do you waste time on a peasant man.”

Neither haughty nor humble, Xie Mengxuan looked at him, “Uncle Luo is chivalrous hero and knows martial arts. So you know that he saved my life. But I don’t do anything to reward him in return. He led a good life before I came this village. But since I came here, he got mixed up in this. It is rational for me to help him.”

What she said was reasonable. Uncle Luo slowly closed his eyes, “It’s none of my business, isn’t it?”

Nevertheless, Xie Mengxuan was still not in a hurry. She poured out a cup of tea and put it on the table, “Although I don’t know your real ident.i.ty. I think Uncle Luo must know something about me.”

Uncle Luo showed an interest of her remarks, “I wonder it is Xie Mengxuan or the eldest daughter in Xie Family that is talking to me.”
