On the Wedding Night, Ms. Cui Realized

Red Acasia Bracelet

In the Xining Mansion, when Cui Dai learned that she was going to move back to the Baishao Courtyard, she lost her temper and complained to her personal maid, "You are talking nonsense! I have lived here for my whole life, so obviously my mother will not move me back!."

Cui Dai was still not convinced and remained suspicious, causing the maid to become increasingly embarrassed and said, "Miss Dai, this is indeed what the Madam ordered. How can this maid lie to you?."

"Forgive me, you don't have the guts to lie to me," Cui Dai replied sullenly.

After all, her personal maid is someone her mother trusts, still she had her suspicion, "My mother only said that I should move back to the Baishao Court, and nothing else?."

Hearing that, the maid hesitated to speak.

"This..." She said with difficulty: "The girl in the south courtyard is going to get married. The one who she is marrying is the prime minister's son and the number one scholar. According to Madam, it is not convenient for her to live in the dilapidated small courtyard."

"I disagree!"

"What can you do even if you disagree?," Mrs. Xining came, accompanied by her servants.

"Mother?."

Seeing her, Cui Dai seemed to see a ray of hope. She approached her mother slowly, reaching out to hold her arm with a gentle touch. "Mother," she pleaded, "didn't you say that this courtyard was a good place for me to live. I've been here for so long, why must I move just because that blind woman is getting married?."

"It's complicated. Not only is she your eldest sister, but also the future lady, and the daughter-in-law of the prime minister's family. She has to live in the best courtyard in the mansion, otherwise the prime minister will be dissatisfied if he finds out."

"So, you want to move me because the Prime Minister would be unhappy? What kind of reason is that?" Cui Dai asked with a hint of defiance.

Mrs. Xining looked at her daughter, sighed and explained, "If the prime minister were to become displeased, it wouldn't only be you who would have to move, but our entire Cui family would have to relocate as well."

Cui Dai was dumbfounded: "Is it really that serious?."

"Yes. So be patient."

She calmed down her delicate little daughter with one word, and the servants living in the north courtyard saw that their mistress had to move, so they lowered their heads and began to work.

Cui Dai sat on a swing, feeling jealous and overwhelmed. She had known that her sister's marriage was a big deal, but she had never imagined it would be this grand.

She clasped her handkerchief tightly, "Mother, do we have to support her in the future?."

Mrs. Xining was silent.

Her daughter, before her marriage, was still a daughter, but after tying the knot, she would become the young wife of the Pei family. With a bright and talented future ahead of him, who knew how far Pei Xuan could go?

And with his father being the prime minister, there was no doubt that his son would also be highly accomplished.

"No."

"This just adds to the never-ending list of my troubles in life," Cui Dai whined to her mother, throwing a tantrum. "I shouldn't have to move!"

"Okay, okay, you know if you marry, it does not matter if the family needs to be more prestigious than the Pei's."

Cui Dai was complaining, Mrs. Xining was also feeling a bit troubled but didn't have time to comfort her, as she tidied up the yard and took her daughter back to the Baishao Courtyard, making sure that the two groups of people would not fight.
