Yuan Fang is Cao Shuo's eldest lady.

Her residence was somewhat different from that of the other ladies.

Not only is the room larger, but even the small courtyard is wider than that of the other ladies.

If the furniture is still the same low table as before, there can be four or five in the front hall here.

Since Cao Shuo invented the new furniture, the old furniture that has been used for thousands of years has gradually been eliminated.

In addition to a few nobles who still have a few in their homes to be elegant, ordinary people's homes have also been replaced with high tables, chairs and benches.

In the front hall of Yuan Fang's residence, there was a small round table.

The round table is not large, and can only accommodate six or seven people at most.

Cao Shuo and Yuan Fang sat at the table.

There were already a few cold dishes on the table, and the hot dishes had not yet been served.

In addition to the dishes, there are also several jars of wine on the table.

Playing with the wine glass in his hand, Cao Shuo asked Yuan Fang: "Did you want the maids and servants to change their words?" ”

"Gong Cao has passed away, and there is no longer an elder above the husband, so who will not change his mind to be the son-in-law?" Pouring a cup of tea for Cao Shuo with his own hands, Yuan Fang said: "The husband has been in charge alone for many years, even if the husband is here, the states and counties under the rule of the husband will not obey the Cao family's deployment." In fact, the husband has long been the lord, but he is low-key and doesn't want people to call him that. ”

"I'm afraid I won't be able to do it for long." The corners of Cao Shuo's mouth pulled out a shallow smile.

Yuan Fang was stunned and asked, "What do you mean, husband?" ”

"Zihuan occupies Yecheng, what is he going to do next?" Putting down the wine glass, Cao Shuo picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"What does the husband mean......" Yuan Fang still didn't understand.

"He is not a father, he doesn't have so much loyalty to Dahan, and he doesn't have so many concerns." Cao Shuo said: "The Han family has come to an end. ”

"Back then, my uncle was the emperor, and he provoked the heroes of the world to discuss it, how dare Cao Zihuan do this?" Yuan Fang asked in surprise.

"Yuan Highway was the emperor back then, and the situation was not yet stable, and the strong and heroic seized one side." Cao Shuo said: "With the power of Huainan at that time, it was still difficult to deal with the Cao family and Hebei, not to mention those local forces who were struggling to make a living in the troubled times. Choosing to be emperor at that time, he was simply dying. ”

While the couple were talking, Yuan Fang's personal maid came to the door: "Lord Qi, Mrs., Mrs. Sun is here." ”

"Sister Shangxiang is here." Hearing that Sun Shangxiang was coming, Yuan Fang stood up and walked to the door.

Cao Shuo sat there and continued to drink tea, without moving.

Yuan Fang went out and personally welcomed Sun Shangxiang into the house.

Seeing Cao Shuo, Sun Shangxiang bowed: "I've seen ......"

It's been a long time since she came to Cao Shuo's back house, but Cao Shuo has never spoiled her, and when Sun Shangxiang greeted her, she couldn't say the word "husband".

"No need to say hello, sit down." Cao Shuo smiled slightly and motioned for her to sit down.

After Yuan Fang sat down first, Sun Shangxiang sat down opposite them.

"There is no one else here today, just me and Sister Shangxiang." The maid poured wine for the servants, and Yuan Fang said: "My husband has often gone out on expeditions in recent years, and he is rarely at home. When Shangxiang's sister came to Shouchun, her husband also made arrangements to ask the maids and servants in the back house to treat her as a lady. ”

After all, Sun Shangxiang is the daughter of the Sun family in Jiangdong.

Although she has been fond of martial arts since she was a child, she is not a stupid woman who can only dance with guns and sticks.

Although Yuan Fang didn't say it too clearly, Sun Shangxiang immediately understood what she meant.

Lowering his head, Sun Shangxiang's gaze did not turn to Cao Shuo.

There was no expression on her face, as if everything that was about to happen had nothing to do with her.

"Command the food to be served." Cao Shuo didn't look at her either, and gave an order to Yuan Fang's personal maid.

The maid withdrew.

Yuan Fang tilted his head and looked at Sun Shangxiang.

In the past, every lady who was pampered by Cao Shuo on the first night would have red cheeks, with a mixture of worry and joy.

Sun Shangxiang is different from them.

She sat there without saying a word.

I couldn't tell from her expression that she was thinking.

In the days when Sun Shangxiang came to the back house, she had less contact with people, and whenever she was with her husband, she always hid in the corner, no one talked to her, and she would never say a word more.

has been with Sun Shangxiang for a lot of days, and Yuan Fang thought she was such a personality.

Just as he was about to say something more, Cao Shuo suddenly said: "Madam, you avoid it first, I have something to say to Shang Xiang." ”

Cao Shuo never asked Yuan Fang to avoid it in the back house.

He made such a request, and Yuan Fang knew that he must have something to say with Sun Shangxiang that the third person could not hear.

Yuan Fang got up and beckoned the maid in the house to leave with her.

"The eldest lady has also gone out, if Miss Sun has anything to say, just say it." Picking up the teacup and tasting it slowly, Cao Shuo said a word to Sun Shangxiang.

"The Sun family has even lost Jiangdong, what else can I say?" Sun Shangxiang raised his head and looked at him: "If you leave me here, you might as well kill me." ”

"Miss Sun's country is beautiful and fragrant, and I know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, how could I kill you." Cao Shuo smiled at her shyly: "I know very well what Miss is thinking, but you haven't figured out a truth." ”

Staring at Cao Shuo, Sun Shangxiang looked puzzled but didn't ask her what the reason was not understood.

"How long have you been here?" Cao Shuo didn't directly pick out the words, but asked Sun Shangxiang like this.

"I've been here since Chibi." Sun Shangxiang said with a cold face: "At that time, I didn't know who drove the Sun family to Jiaozhou......"

"Not only do I have to rush to Jiaozhou, but I also have to completely uproot the Sun family." Cao Shuo interrupted her: "If the world is to be unified, the Sun family must be erased." However, it is also erased, but the result is very different. ”

Sun Shangxiang didn't say anything more, but from her eyes, she could see that she wanted to know what the difference between erasing and erasing what Cao Shuo said.

"First, the Sun family does not leave any men, women and children." Cao Shuo said with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth: "The second is that as long as the Sun family is willing to surrender, I will let them live a very nourishing life." As for which result it is, it's all in your thoughts. ”

"Me?" Sun Shangxiang's eyebrows furrowed slightly: "I'm just a female streamer, how can I decide the fate of the Sun family?" ”

"You can't decide, but I can!" Cao Shuo still had the kind of smile on his face that made Sun Shangxiang feel very uncomfortable: "If you are my wife, they are all relatives, of course they can live!" If you are just my prisoner, the Sun family has nothing to do with me, and it is better to kill them all if you keep them as a scourge! ”

"You are a ...... who fell into the well" Knowing what Cao Shuo meant, Sun Shangxiang's face was frosty, and his tone was colder than just now.

"Miss Sun has lived in Shouchun for so long, and the stone has long been in the well, why should I fall into the well?" Cao Shuo laughed twice: "I just scooped two more scoops of water from the outside and poured them into the well." ”
