After the castration of the funeral ceremony, it soon came to an end in the Xitian Temple. Ping Nanbo's coffin will be stored in the temple, waiting for Empress Cao and Cheng Enhou to nod and acquiesce before it can be officially buried in the ancestral tomb of the Cao family.

These two nobles, for the sake of the family, never dared to easily agree to bury their brothers suspected of rebellion in the ancestral grave. Unless one day the Cao family has the upper hand, or the emperor opens Chrysostom to forgive Ping Nanbo, it is better for Ping Nanbo to stay outside for the time being.

Mrs. Cheng of Pingnanbo watched with humiliation the remains of her deceased husband being rejected by the clansmen, unable to settle in the ground, and she didn't know how many years she had been a lonely ghost, and the anger in her heart that had just been suppressed burned again.

The monks and funeral personnel she hired seemed to be aware of the decay of Pingnanbo's mansion, and they also had some intention of not working, and Cheng couldn't wait to point at these people's noses and scold them on the spot. However, the Chengenhou Mansion sent someone to "supervise", which was actually to monitor her, not to allow her to make trouble, and to let this funeral end quietly. Cheng was under house arrest in the quiet room of the temple, even if she was angry, few people could hear it, only the maiden woman waiting next to her was bearing her anger.

At this time, the Cao family came over with Gui Zhen: "Sister-in-law, I know you are uncomfortable, but Cheng Er's grandmother's words also make sense." Just bear with it, endure this moment, for the sake of your nephew's future. My brother's greatest wish before his death was to let Pingnan Bofu have a supreme position of power and no longer be controlled by others. As long as the nephew can revive the lintel in the future and restore the former glory of Pingnan Bofu, even out of the blue, the elder brother will be very happy in the spirit of the sky. Whether the aftermath is enough or not, for him, it is just a trivial matter. ”

Cao's sister-in-law was actually well-intentioned to relieve his sister-in-law, but Cheng's was angry at this time, and when he saw Cao's calm face, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart: "It turns out that my sister thinks so clearly about my uncle? What a good sister. It's just that if my sister is really so close to my uncle, why did you hide out when Chengenhou came to stop the boat? I am a woman's family, my son is injured and can't get up, so I can only confront Cheng Enhou alone, but my sister refuses to help me say a few words of justice. I really don't understand what my sister thinks in her heart!

"Isn't my uncle good enough for my sister when he was alive? Isn't the uncle my sister's brother? Why did my sister watch her uncle die tragically, and she would have to suffer a lot of humiliation after death, and she couldn't even enjoy a little mourning after her death, so she could only find a temple to live in like a lonely ghost?! ”

Cao Shi was stunned: "Sister-in-law......"

"Don't call me sister-in-law!" Cheng was a little hysterical, "You just abandoned me in a desperate situation, and now you are still talking to me affectionately like no one, Cao Shuqing, are you too thick-skinned?!" ”

Cao's eyes instantly turned red, he bit his lip, and defended himself: "I didn't hide out, it was Xie Pu who sent me a message, saying that Xianzhi wanted to see me, and I just left the ship." ”

Cheng sneered: "I see, it's for your white-eyed wolf son?!" How? After arriving at the Xie family, I regretted it, and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of my uncle's funeral to curry favor with you? I'm telling you, he never wants to come back! We don't accept such a bastard who doesn't know what to do! ”

Cao knew that she had misunderstood, but after hearing such unkind words, she was also a little angry: "Sister-in-law, even if it is a family, you can't talk too much." ”

Cheng sneered and was about to scold a few more words, but Cheng Wang walked in from outside the door at this time and persuaded her: "Eldest sister, don't be angry, let's say a few words." Have you forgotten what I said earlier? Why can't you help this temper? ”

Cheng remembered that he really had to rely on the marriage between the Cao family and Fang Wenshan to support the powerful position of Pingnan Bofu, grinded his teeth, and endured this breath. But she was really aggrieved. She is now looking at Cao's face, while telling herself to forbear, but secretly making up her mind that when they get what they want in Pingnanbo's Mansion and Cao Shuqing no longer has any use value, she will definitely take revenge today!

Cheng Wang was still persuading her: "Don't blame Mrs. Gu for her evasion." Uncle is of course Mrs. Gu's brother, but Cheng Enhou is also her brother. If she offended Chengenhou for her uncle, wouldn't it be even more difficult for her to be in her mother's house in the future? It's not easy for her, so the eldest sister should be more considerate and considerate. ”

Cheng couldn't help but want to sneer again. Yes, the Cao family is just afraid that he will lose the help of the Cao family. Now that she has no husband and no family, what can she do except rely on her brother to live? Originally, she relied on Ping Nanbo, and since Ping Nanbo was dead, he was naturally useless to her, so she turned her head to scold Cheng Enhou, where could she care about how wronged her dead brother was?!

Cao originally thought that Cheng Wang's was saying good things for himself, but the rhetoric was easy to misunderstand, and hurriedly said: "Second Grandma Cheng misunderstood, I'm ...... Although I really don't want to offend my eldest brother, it's not for myself, but for my mother. The mother is still in the eldest brother's mansion now, and the situation is unknown. I'm thinking about finding out about her, but if I annoy my eldest brother, I'm afraid I'll never be able to enter the Chengenhou Mansion again. She looked at Cheng, "Sister-in-law, the family is in a difficult situation now, and I know it in my heart." If my mother is safe and sound, and she supports us, we can live a better life. ”

Cheng still wanted to sneer. Duchess Chengen just has a good name, in fact, Queen Cao and Chengenhou don't listen to her much, but because of filial piety, they will save face for her in case of trouble, all for the sake of the reputation of the Cao family. In the past, she could still scare and scare a few concubines and relatives in the clan, but this time Ping Nanbo lost his life, and Cao Wenheng was beaten badly, she couldn't make a sound, and fell ill directly. Although it is not clear whether she is really sick or fake, it is enough to confirm her incompetence.

Cheng didn't expect this mother-in-law to continue to be a backer for him, and even thought that it was better for her to die like this. Let the juniors finish the filial piety period early, and it is better than being dragged down by her death when her son's career is just right in the future.

Cheng didn't scold Cao anymore, but he couldn't turn this corner in his heart, and the expression on his face was still unkind. Cheng Wang's side said good things, but he always poked at her and Cao's hearts. Slowly, the resentment in Cao's heart also accumulated.

Cheng Wang watched the relationship between the two sisters-in-law become more and more stiff, and his face was not revealed, but his heart was extremely happy.

At this time, the next person came to report: "General Fang has come to pay tribute to the uncle." ”

Cheng was stunned, he didn't expect Fang Wenshan to really come. In the past few days, Ping Nanbo has been deserted in front of her, and Fang Wenshan has not appeared, she only thinks that her deceased husband is really betrayed and divorced, and she can't even keep the last one to rely on, and her heart is getting more and more angry, so she will tear her face desperately, wanting to give Ping Nanbo a posthumous mourning. Unexpectedly, Fang Wenshan would appear at this time.

Cao's face was pleasantly surprised, Fang Wenshan didn't show up in the past few days, in fact, she also had some complaints in her heart, but now she immediately put her grievances away. She looked at Cheng and explained to Fang Wenshan first: "It must be that there are many people in the city, and he is on an errand in front of the emperor, so it is not easy to come forward without authorization." Now that he is outside the city, he has no worries. He still has the friendship with his brother in his heart. ”

Cheng glanced at her, and showed a rare sense of gentleness and kindness: "It's rare for General Fang to come here, my sister should go talk to him, and discuss with him when it is better to get married next year." While we are still in front of your brother, tell him the good news, so that he can feel at ease under the Nine Springs. ”

Cao's face was slightly red, and he saluted the Cheng family and the Cheng Wang family, and then turned around to find Fang Wenshan.

However, when she saw Fang Wenshan, the other party pulled her to the corner, and the first thing she said to her was: "Shuqing, are you willing to leave the capital with me and go to the north?" ”
