Chapter 445 Not allowed

Or does Cui Wenshuo have some other purpose?
But no matter what the purpose is, his arrival is definitely not a good thing.

The conflicts between wives and concubines, and between legitimate and illegitimate children, have always been vividly reflected in the Cui family.

And there has never been any pause between him and Cui Wenshuo.

I heard from my aunt that when she first came to the Cui family, she was also very favored, so my father was looking forward to his birth and even gave him the name "Dong", which showed that he had high hopes for him.

But after he was born, as Cui Wenshuo grew up little by little, all of his father's attention was on Cui Wenshuo, and he became more and more disgusted with him.

The gradual fall from favor of his aunt, coupled with his own unpopularity, made life increasingly difficult for mother and son in the Cui family. It was not until the past two years that the situation improved slightly.

Cui Wendong regards Cui Wenshuo as his mortal enemy. At this moment, he feels irritated and uneasy when he thinks that Cui Wenshuo might snatch away some things that belong to him.

I couldn't even drink a sip of the tea in my hand.

"Young Master." Qingsong came up to him.

"What's wrong?" Cui Wendong was a little impatient.

"I heard from someone that the third young master is going to Cuiyan Tower tonight." Qingsong replied.

Cuiyan Tower?
Cui Wendong was stunned.

Cuiyan Tower is the largest place of entertainment in the entire Changzhou city. The girls inside are all proficient in playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and are also good at singing and dancing. The most famous one among them is Miss Rou, who is both beautiful and talented, and is stunningly beautiful.

Cui Wendong once wanted to meet Madam Rou, but Cuiyanlou said that Madam Rou had her own rules for receiving guests, and only those with outstanding literary talent and who could make her smile could become her guest.

Cui Wendong naturally didn't want to bow down to a prostitute like this, so he turned away and never set foot into Cui Yan Tower again.

But now, Cui Wenshuo is going to Cuiyan Tower?

Could it be that he is thinking about Madam Rou over there?

No, that's not right. Cui Wenshuo has always been cautious in doing things to the point of leaving no room for error. He is a complete old fox. Moreover, because of the second young master, the Cui family has always been very strict in this regard. Cui Wenshuo should not be so indifferent to his image in front of his father.

There is only one possibility, that is, Cui Wenshuo used this place as a cover to meet someone very important or do something very important.

"Do you know who met Cui Wenshuo?" Cui Wendong asked with a frown.

"Young Master is wise!" Qingsong gave Cui Wendong a thumbs up, but then said, "It's just that I'm incompetent and don't know who the Third Young Master met, but I vaguely heard that it seemed to be someone in the army."

People in the military...

settle down?

Is the Cui family going to join forces with the An family?

He has been thinking about getting involved with the He family, and has spent a long time trying but to no avail. Now Cui Wenshuo is quietly forming an alliance with the An family?
Wouldn't that make him seem completely useless in front of his father?

This cannot be allowed to happen!
Cui Wendong clenched the teacup in his hand.

Here, An Jingzhong was strolling in the military camp, his chin slightly raised, his face full of pride.

Although the memorial requesting his title had been sent to the capital but there had been no response, news had arrived that it was only a matter of time before he would be reinstated.

Moreover, His Majesty is very pleased with this and may give some other rewards.

Soon after, he was no longer the young man in name only, but once again the mighty military commander.

All of this was due to his thorough confirmation of the matter at that time. The more An Jingzhong thought about it, the more proud he was of his own wit and intelligence, but he also felt a little uncomfortable all over, as if something was missing.

Yes, when you are in high spirits, you have to drink and chat to enjoy yourself to the fullest!

An Jingzhong immediately called the attendants around him and asked them to prepare wine and food so that they could have a good drink.

"Sir." The attendant looked embarrassed. "The commander of the wing has ordered that unless it is necessary to hold a banquet or celebrate a victory, no one in the army is allowed to drink alcohol at other times. Otherwise, everyone will be punished according to military law."

"What a hassle." An Jingzhong looked displeased.

Seeing this, the attendant suggested, "If you really want to drink, why don't you go outside to drink?"

Drinking outside?
An Jingzhong nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, "Then let's go to Changzhou City!"

He has been to all the famous restaurants in Changzhou City many times. The food tastes good and the quality of the drinks is also acceptable. The most important thing is that it is far away from the military camp, so he can drink to his heart's content!
"Yes!" The attendant bowed, "I will go and prepare the horse right away."

"Go quickly and come back soon." An Jingzhong was already impatient at this time.

The horse was quickly brought over. An Jingzhong had already changed into a brocade robe. He jumped on the horse and headed towards the gate of the military camp.

As he approached the gate, An Jingzhong ran into Xiao Luoan.

"Mr. An." Xiao Luoan bowed.

"Third Prince." An Jingzhong narrowed his eyes, did not dismount, nor did he salute, but only asked, "Why is the Third Prince interested in walking around in the army today?"

The third prince usually looks weak and has done nothing, but his father praises him for being prudent and smart. It's really annoying.

An Jingzhong's disrespect was evident in his words. Xiao Luoan smiled and didn't care. He just replied, "Yes, I heard that Deputy Commander Lu was punishing a few soldiers, so I went to take a look and join in the fun."

Punish the soldiers?

This Lu Qiyan really knows how to use chicken feathers as a token of authority.

"Why are you punishing the soldiers for no reason?" An Jingzhong asked.

"It seems to be because these soldiers secretly went to Cuiyan Tower in Changzhou City to drink." Xiao Luoan said with a smile, "If you think about it carefully, drinking is also a common thing. The soldiers have been in the barracks for a long time and are used to fighting and killing. They need to release the anger in their hearts. Deputy Commander Lu asked him..."

"However, there are military regulations in place, and these soldiers have indeed violated military regulations and laws. Deputy Commander Lu's punishment is also based on rules and is reasonable. Deputy Commander Lu is always fair and strict, and is not afraid of power, so it is reasonable for him to do so."

Fair and strict, not afraid of power?
Tsk, that was something others had never seen before, Lu Qiyan was fawning and servile in front of his father!
Insidious and cunning!

An Jingzhong was unhappy and said angrily, "It's just a pretense."

Xiao Luoan smiled and said, "I don't know about that. It is said that time reveals a person's true character and his character is revealed when he encounters something. Whether Deputy Commander Lu is like this or not, we will have to wait and see."

Ah……

An Jingzhong was too lazy to argue with Xiao Luoan about Lu Qiyan. He just held the whip in his hand and lazily bowed to him, "Then Third Prince, please wait and see. I have something else to do, so I will go first."

"Mr. An, take care." Xiao Luoan took half a step back.

An Jingzhong swung the whip in his hand high, shouted "Go!", and left with his attendants.

Xiao Luoan squinted at the flying dust and winked at Cen Ying beside him.

Cen Ying understood and left quietly without making a sound.
