When Cao Shuo and Zhen Mi walked out of the gate of Cao's house, the sky was completely dark.

"The husband just returned to Xudu, and he took a trip to Duke Cao and his wife, which is really hard." Sitting in the carriage with Cao Shuo, Zhen Mi said.

"The hard work is yet to come." Cao Shuo smiled slightly: "Believe it or not, we will go back now, Yuan Shang is already waiting at home." ”

"It's so late, even if he is going, it should be during the day." Zhen Mi said: "How can there be anything important but visit in the middle of the night? ”

"Of course he has something to do." Cao Shuo said: "And it is a very important matter. ”

"Yuan Shang came to Xudu this time to take the eldest lady back?" Zhen Mi asked.

"Yuan Shao and Liu Bei are different." Cao Shuo said: "Liu Bei can abandon his wife for himself, but Yuan Shao will not do that." He, like his father, is resolute outside, but he is a different kind of person to his own children. ”

"Yuan Fang doesn't go back to Hebei, how can Yuan Shao feel at ease?" Cao Shuo continued: "But once she returns to Hebei, how can I feel at ease? ”

"How does the husband plan to deal with Yuan Shang?" Zhen Mi asked.

"I told my father that Yuan Fang was two months pregnant." Cao Shuo said: "The same method can also be used on Yuan Shang. ”

"The eldest lady is really pregnant?" Zhen Mi asked in amazement.

"What's pregnant?" Cao Shuo said: "It's just a delaying tactic." ”

"What if Cao Gong asks in a few days?" Zhen Mi asked.

Cao Shuo thought for a while and said to Zhen Mi: "If my father asks, I will say that I quarreled with Yuan Fang for a few words and pushed her to the ground, so that the child is gone." ”

"If you say that, I'm afraid that my husband will bear the notoriety of beating the eldest lady." Zhen Mi said: "It's too unfair to my husband. ”

"If I want to be fair, I can't be fair to Yuan Fang." Cao Shuo said: "Women are not clothes, they can throw them away when they are worn out. One day is my woman, and she will be my woman all her life. Since I have chosen to follow me, of course I have to lean on her shoulders. ”

"What about being infamous?" Cao Shuo smiled and shook his head: "Even if the whole world says that I am a bad person, as long as you know what I am like, it is enough!" The mouth is in other people's faces, and they are talking nonsense. ”

Cao Shuo's words made Zhen Mi feel very uncomfortable.

She pursed her lips and said to Cao Shuo: "If the eldest lady knows that her husband is infamous for her, she will definitely not feel good in her heart. ”

"I can't leave all the burdens to her because she will feel guilty." Cao Shuo said: "What are you marrying for? Marrying is so that no matter the ups and downs in this life, there will be someone to shelter you from the wind and rain. If I encounter something, I will push it on you, what is the difference between me and Liu Bei. ”

Listening to Cao Shuo's words, Zhen Mi lowered her head and did not say a word.

After a while, the carriage stopped at their quarters.

After getting out of the carriage, Cao Shuo stood at the door and looked at the door and said, "I haven't been back here for a few days." ”

"When he left, he left behind some servants and servants, who would take care of the house." Zhen Mi said: "Back in Xudu, my husband also has a place to stay. ”

Smiling at Zhen Mi, Cao Shuo said: "Leave the servants and servants, I don't know what they will do to ruin the house." You must know that when there is no master, not all of those people are self-conscious. ”

"That's what the husband said." Zhen Mi answered and accompanied Cao Shuo into the house.

Before entering the courtyard, a servant bowed down and said to Cao Shuo: "Childe, there is a guest visiting." ”

"Guest?" Cao Shuo asked, "Who?" ”

"The third son of the Yuan family." The servant said, "He's been waiting here for a long time. ”

"It turned out to be the third brother." Cao Shuo smiled slightly and said to the servant: "You go and tell him, just say that I will go to see him when I change my clothes." ”

The servant departed.

Zhen Mi asked Cao Shuo with some concern: "Husband, what if Yuan Shang has to take the eldest lady away if he dies or lives?" ”

"If he wants to take Yuan Fang away alive or dead, I won't agree to live or die." Cao Shuo said: "See what he can do!" ”

"You go back to your room to rest first, and I'll look for you when you send Yuan Shang away." He instructed Zhen Mi.

Zhen Mi responded and watched Cao Shuo leave.

Yuan Shang came here and waited in the front hall.

The servant said that Cao Shuo was back, and he and Cui Yan both stood up and greeted the door.

After a while, Cao Shuo really came.

When he saw Yuan Shang from afar, Cao Shuo hugged his fists with a smile on his face and asked, "It's getting late, why is the third brother here?" ”

"Not a good brother-in-law yet." Yuan Shang arched his hand and asked, "When did you bring Fang'er to Shouchun?" ”

"I'm sitting in Shouchun now, and I can't leave the back house in Xudu." Cao Shuo grinned and said, "They will go to Shouchun with me, so they can take care of it." ”

"There is some truth to what you say." Yuan Shang asked, "Didn't you bring Fang'er with you this time?" ”

"She has some trouble walking." Cao Shuo whispered to Yuan Shang: "A few days ago, she always gagged, and let the doctor see it, saying that she was more than two months pregnant. ”

Yuan Shang was stunned: "Fang'er is pregnant?" ”

"Yes!" Cao Shuo said: "If it weren't for being pregnant, I would definitely take her with me when I returned to Xudu this time." ”

"Zirong is coming back to Xudu this time, what are you here for?" Yuan Shang asked suddenly.

I have already thought about how to deal with it, Cao Shuo said: "I have been in Shouchun for a long time, and I haven't said hello to my mother, and this time I just went back to see my parents. ”

As if he didn't expect Yuan Shang to come to Xudu, he asked, "It's the third brother, why did you come to Xudu?" ”

"I'm here to see Fang'er." Yuan Shang said: "Since she married into the Cao family, my father and mother have missed her very much, so I asked me to bring her back to save my relatives. ”

"I'm afraid the third brother is going to run for nothing this time." Cao Shuo said apologetically: "Fang'er is pregnant, she can't travel a long distance, and she has to live a few days." ”

"How long will it take?" Yuan Shang asked.

"I'm just over two months pregnant." Cao Shuo snapped his fingers and said: "After seven months, plus confinement and recovery, I will be able to go back to Hebei to visit my parents-in-law in about a year." ”

"A year?" Yuan Shang frowned slightly, and said to Cao Shuo: "My father and mother miss her very much. ”

"If the third brother doesn't say it, I know it." Cao Shuo said with a bitter face: "But Shouchun is far away from Yecheng, how can I be willing to let Fang'er travel a long distance?" ”

"You can't deliberately shirk and don't want me to see her, do you?" Yuan Shanghu asked suspiciously.

"How is that possible!" Cao Shuo said: "If the third brother doesn't believe it, you can return to Shouchun with me, and when you see Fang'er, you won't understand everything." ”
