Chapter 226: Meeting the Old Master
Cui Shanhe looked very unnatural when he heard this.
Logically speaking, Cui Bohan was in poor health, so as the head of the family, he should have come to visit him. However, because the relationships with this collateral family were very complicated and even had a somewhat bad relationship with him, Cui Shanhe rarely set foot in the Cui Mansion in Feiyan Lane and hardly asked about their family affairs.
If the matter had not become so serious this time and the steward had not come specifically to find him, it would have been unacceptable for him, the head of the family, to not step forward, and Cui Shanhe really did not want to come.
"This is my daughter Cui Yun. When Cui Yun got married, you were only eight years old. I'm afraid you have long forgotten that you have such a cousin. This is her son, Qin Ziling. So in terms of blood relationship, you and he are really distant cousins." Cui Bohan continued after sitting down again.
"So that's it!" Cui Shanhe finally understood.
He saluted Cui Yun first, then turned to Qin Ziling and said, "I never thought that you and I are related by blood. It seems that we are really destined to be together."
"Yes!" Qin Ziling nodded and sighed.
"But if you do this , won't it..." Cui Shanhe hesitated, pointed at Wen Hongfeng and Cui Kunye, and said with a wry smile.
Qin Ziling waved his hand to interrupt Cui Shanhe, his face darkened slightly and he said, "I also want to ask how this patriarch became the patriarch? My grandfather, as the patriarch of a side branch family, was sidelined and bullied like this. You, the patriarch of the main family, wouldn't be unaware of this, right?"
Cui Shanhe's expression changed several times after hearing this, and then he called over a Huajin martial arts follower and said, "Disperse everyone, guard the courtyard, and don't let anyone in. Also, go and ask the old man to come over."
"Yes, sir!" The Hua Jin martial artist bowed and accepted the order.
Soon, everyone in the courtyard, including the injured, evacuated the scene. Cui Shanhe's people originally wanted to ask Liu Xiaoqiang to leave as well, but Qin Ziling said something and Cui Shanhe had to let Liu Xiaoqiang stay.
"Brother Qin, given the life-long friendship between you and me, there is actually nothing for me to be ashamed of talking about this matter." Cui Shanhe said after all those who should be dismissed had been dismissed.
As he spoke, Cui Shanhe glanced at Wen Hongfeng and Cui Kunye.
"It's not that I don't want to get involved in your grandpa's affairs. Firstly, it's hard for an honest official to judge family affairs, and they are older than me, which makes it even harder to judge. Secondly, you know, my great-uncle..."
"It's Wen Hongfeng!" Qin Ziling interrupted indifferently.
Cui Shanhe was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and swallowed the word "mother" at the end. He smiled bitterly and said, "She is very strong and has a powerful background. You probably don't know that her son is now practicing Taoism in the Biyun Sect. It is said that he has broken through to become a great Qi Refiner in the middle stage of Zhenyuan a while ago. He also practiced martial arts and is a Huajin martial artist."
"The second point is the key!" Qin Ziling said.
"The situation is stronger than people. You also know the current situation of the Cui family. Otherwise, there is no need for me, the head of the family, to go to such a dangerous place like the dragon vein in person!" Cui Shanhe said with a wry smile.
When talking about the dragon vein, Cui Shanhe looked at Qin Ziling with a look of sincere gratitude.
If it weren't for Qin Ziling's appearance and magnanimity, he would probably be dead now, and he would not have been able to break through to the middle stage of Bone Refining so quickly, and his grandfather would not have been able to live a few more years.
It was precisely because of that piece of Hua Chi's flesh and blood that he made a breakthrough, and his grandfather's blood and qi decline also slowed down. The Cui family's declining situation has now improved somewhat.
"Stop!" At this moment a cold shout came from outside.
"She's my person, let her in." Qin Ziling said to Cui Shanhe.
Cui Shanhe showed a hint of surprise, but still gave the order immediately.
Soon, Shao E came in with a bowl of hot spiritual rice porridge.
Seeing Shao E coming in, Cui Shanhe's eyes flashed with shock.
Normally, the bone strength of a bone-refining master is restrained and not disturbed. Even in a fight, it does not burst out all the time, but is only unleashed suddenly when needed.
Therefore, Cui Kunye and Wen Hongfeng could not tell at first that Shao E was a great master of bone refining. It was only when she made a move that they suddenly realized that she was a great master of bone refining.
But Cui Shanhe is a great martial artist with strength comparable to that of a late-stage bone refining master, so his eyesight is naturally not comparable to that of Cui Kunye and Wen Hongfeng.
As soon as Shao E came in, he vaguely detected something from her aura.
"Leave it to me." Cui Yun said to Shao E.
"Yes, old lady." Shao E handed the spiritual rice porridge to Cui Yun.
Cui Yun took the spiritual rice porridge and wanted to feed it to Cui Baihan.
"Let's leave it there for now. It's against the rules with the head of the family here." Cui Bohan said.
"Uncle, you are the elder and you are weak. You don't have to care about those empty formalities." Cui Shanhe said hurriedly.
Cui Bohan wanted to refuse after hearing this, but Qin Ziling said, "Grandpa, your health is more important."
Cui Baihan didn't refuse anymore. He ate the rice porridge his daughter fed him mouthful by mouthful. His nose felt sore and tears welled up in his eyes.
Qin Ziling saw Cui Bohan eating the hot spiritual rice porridge, then he turned to Cui Shanhe again and said, "As the head of the family, how do you plan to deal with this matter now?"
"This matter mainly depends on the opinions of my uncle, cousin and Brother Qin. I always support you, but this matter is of great importance after all, and everything needs to be considered carefully." Cui Shanhe said solemnly when he heard this.
When Wen Hongfeng and Cui Kunye saw that Cui Shanhe supported Qin Ziling without hesitation, their faces changed drastically. Their lips trembled and they wanted to speak, but they were afraid that Qin Ziling would whip them directly, so they had to shut up.
Qin Ziling was very satisfied with Cui Shanhe's statement.
At least it shows that he is a man who values friendship and responsibility.
If Cui Shanhe had shown any wavering attitude just now, I am afraid that after this time, Qin Ziling would directly take my grandfather away and completely cut off the Cui family's distant relatives.
However, now that Cui Shanhe still cares about the kindness he showed him and is willing to take responsibility, Qin Ziling naturally still accepts this marriage.
"Grandpa, what are your plans?" Qin Ziling nodded at Cui Shanhe, then turned to Cui Baihan.
"Grandpa is old, and he is not the kind of person who can do great things. What's more, the people whom grandpa feels most sorry for are your grandmother, your mother, and your father. If I had met your mother back then, your father might... Well, you are the one who makes the decision on this matter. Grandpa can see that you are a person with your own ideas and can do great things. You should know how to handle this matter better than grandpa!" Cui Baihan thought for a while and said.
"Cui Baihan, even if you don't care about the love we've had as husband and wife for so many years, even if you hate me, you should at least consider Kunhu. He is your son, and you actually handed me over to..." Wen Hongfeng couldn't help but speak again after hearing this.
"Kunhu is not my son!" Cui Bohan said.
"What do you mean?" Wen Hongfeng's face changed drastically.
"I should ask you this. Ever since you threatened the safety of my wife and children, I have no intention of having children with you, so I asked someone to use a secret method to cut off my fertility. Moreover, if Kunhu was really my son, would he treat his own father's son like this? Haha!" Cui Bohan suddenly laughed out loud at the end, and his laughter was very neurotic, and then he burst into tears.
The entire hall became extremely quiet, with only Cui Bohan's crying and laughing echoing.
Wen Hongfeng suddenly became extremely silent, and her eyes revealed deep hatred towards Cui Bohan.
Cui Shanhe seemed to have thought of something, his face turned pale, and his eyes looking at Wen Hongfeng and Cui Kunye were filled with strong murderous intent.
Cui Kunye felt Cui Shanhe's murderous intent, his face turned pale, and he crawled to Cui Shanhe and said, "Master, I really didn't know that Cui Kunhu was not from our Cui family. I, I absolutely have no intention of betraying the Cui family."
“Bang!”
Cui Kunye’s answer was a kick from Cui Shanhe.
Cui Kunye flew up into the air, then hit the wall heavily before slowly sliding down to the ground.
"Greetings, old man!" At this time, a voice came from outside.
Then, the silver-haired old man of the Cui family, Cui Baiming, strode into the courtyard with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, and soon walked into the hall.
