This question has been hidden in Cao's heart for a day, and she didn't dare to ask it for a long time, for fear that the answer she got was not what she wanted to hear.

In the past, if she had any questions, she could open up to her brother and sister-in-law without any worries, but since she found out that her brother and sister-in-law might also sacrifice her sister for selfishness, she has concerns.

Now that she has broken with the Xie family, even if she can coax Xie Pu for the time being, she will not be able to turn back after all. At this point, it is impossible for her not to marry Fang Wenshan, and the way forward can only be according to the wishes of her brother and sister-in-law. If she offends her brother and sister-in-law, her brother will not care about her sister-in-law, but her sister-in-law is not a good person, and it will affect her brother and nephews and nieces. She can't really turn her face with her sister-in-law, and she will lose the help of her mother's family in the future.

However, no matter how much Cao had worries in his heart, he couldn't help but worry about his daughter. She can still remarry Fang Wenshan, but the future of her children has to rely on her brother and sister-in-law. The son doesn't mention it, her daughter Xie Yinghui is in love with her eldest nephew Cao Wenheng, a childhood sweetheart, and the two have no guesses. Because the daughter of the Cheng family is also close to Cao Wenheng, Xie Yinghui has been vinegared several times, and when the Xie family held a banquet a few days ago, she had a conflict with Cheng Baochuan, which caused the capsizing incident. If she doesn't get what she wants, she'll be heartbroken.

The reason why the Cao family made up their minds to break with Xie Pu under the persuasion of his brother and sister-in-law was also because his brother personally decided the marriage between Cao Wenheng and Xie Yinghui, so that she knew that her biological children had no trouble. But now that the matter has been done, the marriage between Xie Yinghui and Cao Wenheng is still only a verbal contract, in case the brother and sister-in-law turn back, what can the Cao family do?

But she couldn't watch her daughter being promised to the son of the Yang family.

The Yang family in the southwest is a local wealthy family, with several large mines and salt wells in their hands, and they are rich enough to rival the country, and the older generation has also married the Cao family, so they are not easy to get rid of.

A sister-in-law of Lao Chengengong married the former head of the Yang family as the stepfamily, and the son she gave birth to died early, and she herself died, and the relationship between the two families gradually faded. Yang Chun, the current head of the Yang family, has been raised by the old lady for ten years, so he has a bit of incense with the Xie family. Yang Chun has only one son under his knees, named Yang Ziyuan, who has been frail and sickly since he was a child, and many doctors have seen it, and they all say that it is difficult to live a long life, so he can only recuperate at home.

Because of the lack of successors, the Yang family has been a little turbulent over the years, and Yang Chun's younger brothers Yang Jian and Yang Kang are all ready to move, and they may compete for the sovereignty of the family at any time, so Yang Chun will travel thousands of miles to the capital, visit the Cao family, and ask for his son to marry a Cao family daughter, so as to stabilize Yang Ziyuan's heirship.

The Yang family is rich, and marrying it is also beneficial to the Cao family's control of the military power in the southwest. Yang Ziyuan is only fifteen years old, and his health is weak, so it will be too late to wait a few more years to get married. The Cao family's energy is now focused on the prince's selection of concubines, and they can't spare their hands.

In fact, Cheng Enhou intended to choose a concubine to marry to the Yang family and continue the story of the old aunt, but Mrs. Cheng Enhou was selfish and didn't want the concubine she didn't like to enjoy wealth and prosperity, but intended to choose someone from the clan. The eldest daughter in the second room has already gone somewhere, and the second daughter is only ten years old, and the age difference is a little far away. They didn't think about Pingnanbo's Mansion, lest the Yang family's wealth be cheap and unpleasant.

The Cao family never thought that this marriage had anything to do with her, but when she heard what her sister-in-law said to her second sister-in-law, she understood that she was afraid that her brother and sister-in-law also had thoughts about the Yang family. Without the money bag of the Xie family, Pingnanbo Mansion always has to find another source of wealth. The Yang family is rich, isn't it the best choice? Thinking of this, Cao began to fidget.

She didn't want to see her daughter's sad and desperate expression, but she didn't have the confidence to negotiate with her brother and sister-in-law. Withhold Xie Yingzhen's Geng post, just in case. Yang Ziyuan is a sick seedling, and if he can marry a lady from an official family, he has already burned high incense in his previous life, so why should he pick fat and thin? Xie Yingzhen is also the daughter of the Xie family, and her identity is only a little worse than Xie Yinghui, so replacing Xie Yinghui with her and scaring the Yang family a few more words may not be impossible......

Out of concern for his daughter, Cao had a ridiculous idea for a while. She actually understands that after the Xie family falls, the identities of Xie Yingzhen and Xie Yinghui are not the same, it is impossible to replace this kind of thing, and the Yang family is not a small family. She's just unwilling, so she's just daydreaming......

Now Mrs. Ping Nanbo explained her, and she was moved by what she said. Cao Shi couldn't hold back for a while, and said the biggest doubt in his heart.

Mrs. Ping Nanbo laughed: "I knew that you must have heard me talking to my second sister-in-law, and you were too careful, so you thought about it." She grabbed Cao's hand, leaned closer and whispered, "Silly sister, why don't you want to think about who I said this to?" That's the second sister-in-law! She's in the same group as Dafang, can I tell her the truth? ”

Cao Shi was stunned and hurriedly asked, "What does this mean?" ”

Mrs. Ping Nanbo waved her hand: "The second sister-in-law came to test me at that time, for the Yang family's marriage. She was afraid that I would marry Wen Feng over, how could the daughter of their concubine be compared with the daughter of the concubine? That's why they came to probe my tone. ”

Cao Shi frowned: "Wasn't Wen Ying, the eldest daughter of the second sister-in-law, chosen by the queen to be a good lady for the prince?" Is the second sister-in-law talking about the second daughter Wenjuan? Ke Wenjuan is only ten years old! Yang Chun wanted to marry his son to the daughter of the Cao family, but he didn't plan to let his son and crown marry again, God knows if Yang Ziyuan can survive until he is twenty years old? ! ”

"Who's to say it isn't?" Mrs. Ping Nanbo smiled contemptuously, "She is delusional, and she is not greedy enough!" ”

Having said that, Mrs. Pingnanbo did not dare to be careless. The second room of the Cao family is friendly with the long room, in case she convinces the Cheng Enhou couple and really gets the marriage of the Yang family, won't the third room be out of play? Cao Wenfeng, the eldest daughter of the third room, wants to stay as the crown princess in the future, or even the queen, and it is impossible to marry the Yang family, but this cannot be known to the people in the long room and the second room.

What Mrs. Ping Nanbo thought was that when a few years later, when the Pingnan Mansion had the sister-in-law of the Janissary Commander, and the East Palace also had Miss Wang as her aid, she could speak in front of the prince, and when her status was no longer as weak as it was now, even if it was the Chengenhou Mansion, it would not be able to prevent Ping Nanbo from marrying the Yang family, and the Yang family would have no reason to refuse.

After Mrs. Ping Nanbo explained her thoughts, she said to Cao's family: "Good sister, think about it, can I honestly say these words to my second sister-in-law?" It is impossible to cross Wen Feng to mention Wen Yan, so he can only prevaricate with Sister Hui. You also know that now that the queen is fighting with Lin Zhaoyi in the palace, and your brother said that you broke with Xie Pu for the sake of the Cao family, and a good family affair is regarded as compensation for you. In this way, even if the second room is unwilling, the long room will not say anything. As long as the Yang family's marriage is contested, who should be married in a few years, it's not your brother who has the final say? It is impossible for this kind of thing to spread, and it will not hinder Sister Hui'er's reputation......"

When Cao Shi heard this, he was already convinced: "That's it, it's just a family affair between Sister Hui and Wen Heng, and it should have been decided earlier." Even if you don't make much of it, you should let your family know about it. Not to mention anything else, the marriage book and the table are all required, right? I showed this to Xie Pu, and he had no reason to hesitate. ”

"That's easy to say. Wrap it up on your sister-in-law! Mrs. Ping Nanbo slapped her heart with a smile and slapped the package ticket, and finally calmed down the Cao family.

But Cao didn't notice that when she turned her back, a trace of sarcasm flashed in Mrs. Pingnanbo's eyes, and she pursed the corners of her mouth.
