Chapter 561: Coercion

Mrs. Cheng Enhou made a promise to the eldest princess of Yongning on the last day of the consecration ceremony when she went to Bao'en Temple to "listen to Zen".

After many days of hesitation, the Chengenhou Mansion finally made up its mind. Probably because it was not their house that suffered, but the Pingnanbo Mansion, and the property that could be given up was not much in their eyes, so their family also agreed to be more cheerful, but after hesitating for less than ten days, they relented.

Although the eldest princess of Yongning was not satisfied with the Cao family's drag, she saw that they finally softened in front of her, and her mood improved a lot. It is obviously impossible for her to get along with the Cao family, but the Cao family is willing to take steps to step down for her, and she can continue to live in harmony with Empress Cao and the prince of the East Palace in the palace, as long as nothing happens.

Xie Xianzhi was also overjoyed when he got the good news from Ma Ergongzi.

It is said that Cao Wenheng knelt in the ancestral hall of the Cao family for three days, and he could no longer hold on, fainted in the ancestral hall, and was unconscious. At that time, the festival had just begun. Cao Wentai listened to the request of the Xie family brothers and sisters from the eldest princess of Yongning, so he went back to discuss with his parents, and threatened Mrs. Ping Nanbo to hand over the Xie family's property that had been swallowed by Cao Wenheng under the pretext of Cao Wenheng's fainting.

When Mrs. Pinnanbo learned the news, she barely fainted. When she saw her miserable son, her emotions collapsed directly. She knew that all this was because her daughter burned Xie Yinghui when she quarreled with her niece, and she, who has always loved her daughter, rarely slapped Cao Wenfeng hard.

When Cao Wenfeng was escorted back to Cao's house, he was frightened and uneasy by his cousin, and he was beaten by his mother, and he also collapsed, shouting that his brother was a waste and could not be saved, and that he would do his own sins today, and his mother also had the responsibility of connivance, but it had nothing to do with her; She went to her grandmother's funeral ceremony for the sake of her family, swallowed her anger and suffered humiliation, she endured it, her mother should have felt sorry for her first, not for her brother to beat her; Xie Yinghui's injury is Cheng Baochuan's trick, not her fault, why did her mother beat her own daughter for her niece?

Cao Wenfeng yelled and broke up with his biological mother, but the people in the Chengenhou Mansion who witnessed all this opened their eyes. Mrs. Ping Nanbo almost fainted again, but she still had a son to take care of, and she was not in the mood to quarrel with her daughter at the moment, so she only ordered someone to lock her daughter up and ground, and she went to take her son home first, and it was only right to ask the doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment.

However, the Chengenhou Mansion did not let people go, because Cao Wenheng was punished for violating the clan rules and affecting the family, and he was punished for kneeling in the ancestral hall, and now he has not been punished. Cao Wentai told Mrs. Ping Nanbo that their family would invite a doctor to come to see their cousin, and when the cousin woke up, they would continue to kneel in the ancestral hall. This is an order given by the head of the clan, that is, the Marquis of Cheng'en, and Mrs. Ping Nanbo cannot go against the will of the patriarch unless she does not admit that her family of three is the Cao family.

But Mrs. Ping Nanbo looked at her unconscious son, looked at her son's red and swollen knees, and his thin and shaped face, but she couldn't believe Changfang no matter what. She felt that if her son stayed in the Chengenhou Mansion any longer, he would become crippled if he didn't die. Besides, the doctor invited by Changfang doesn't know where the quack doctor came from, where is it more reliable than the imperial doctor? Cao Wentai refused to give his cousin even some good medicine, obviously intent on putting Cao Wenheng to death, and the Chengenhou Mansion took the opportunity to swallow the property of the three rooms and drove their orphans and widows out of the Cao family!

At this point, even if Mrs. Ping Nanbo was reluctant, she could only cut the meat. She handed over the property deed deed from the Xie family to Cao Wentai, and under the threat of Mrs. Chengenhou, she even offered some furniture and antiques that her sister-in-law Cao Shuqing took away from the Xie family, so that she could be regarded as successfully bringing her son Cao Wenheng home, and now she is inviting a doctor to come to the good life for diagnosis and treatment. It is said that Cao Wenheng later came to his senses and learned that he might become crippled, crying and screaming day and night, and Cao Wenfeng also fell ill, Mrs. Ping Nanbo had to take care of two children at the same time, and she was exhausted, so she had no intention of caring about him.

Mrs. Chengenhou was two days late to see the eldest princess of Yongning, and she didn't know what she was busy with. When Ma Er Gongzi told Xie Xianzhi the news, he mentioned that since the property and property returned by Pingnanbo Mansion were handed over to the Chengenhou Mansion, he was afraid that a lot of wool would be taken away. The Chengenhou Mansion only needs to say that there is only so much that the Pingnanbo Mansion has handed over, does Mrs. Pingnanbo still have the strength to fight a lawsuit with them? So the Xie family is going to suffer a big loss this time.

Xie Xianzhi said to Xie Mulin: "I thought in my heart, it would be an accident to be able to return some of the property to us, but it is not good to care too much." At that time, my grandfather also started from scratch, earning a huge piece of the family business, and my father ran the Xie family thriving. Today, the situation of our family is much stronger than that of my grandfather and father, who only spent more than half a year in Beiping, and then re-established the family's business. Of course, it is best to be able to return all the industries of the past, and even if you don't come back, there is nothing to be sorry for. ”

Xie Mulin nodded in agreement: "This is true, the industry is just a dead thing, and the most important thing is to get the manpower back." With these shrewd and capable shopkeepers and guys as helpers, in just ten or eight years, our Xie family will be millionaires again. Even if the Cao family is asked to swallow the most profitable industry, what does it matter? Their family is not a business material at all, they only believe in their own servants, but those servants don't understand business, they only know that they are full of private pockets, even if they have mountains of gold and silver, they will be defeated sooner or later. We took the opportunity to tear apart the Cao family, take away all the people who could be taken away, and then stay away. Whether their family will be rich and honorable or ruined in the future has nothing to do with us. ”

She looked at Xie Xianzhi: "As long as the eldest brother and eldest sister don't feel sad in their hearts." ”

Xie Xianzhi smiled self-deprecatingly: "What else can I be sad about? People don't regard us as relatives, and our brothers and sisters are amorous, and we have to see whether others are rare or not. The second sister doesn't have to worry about me and my eldest sister, after the death of my grandmother, and then look at the fate of Pingnanbo Mansion now, we have already understood in our hearts. The Cao family is bad from the root, and it is unkind, and we don't need to think about relatives at all. Even if I am sad, I just feel that my grandmother just died, and her bloodline ended up like this, and some of them are not worth it for her old age. ”

Xie Mulin shook his head and said: "Duchess Chengen's own bloodline is not a person who values love and righteousness, and she doesn't necessarily have much filial piety for her mother and grandmother. The eldest brother is sad for her bloodline, but how do you know that she is under the Nine Springs and has no resentment towards her children and grandchildren? ”

Xie Xianzhi was stunned, thinking of his biological mother Cao Shuqing, who still refused to return to Beijing for the funeral, but instead rushed to remarry in the heat of filial piety, and then thought of Cao Wenheng and Cao Wenfeng, who repeatedly violated the ban during their father's filial piety and refused to send their grandmother to the end, and suddenly had nothing to say.

Seeing Xie Xianzhi's silence, Xie Mulin began to reflect on whether his words were a little heavier? After all, Xie Xianzhi is also the grandson of Duchess Chengen. However, it was impossible for her to admit that she had said the wrong thing, so she could only change the subject: "By the way, big brother, the Ma family is going to evacuate Bao'en Temple, right?" It's time for the eldest sister to come back, too. But this house is not a good place to recuperate, and it is not very convenient to go into the city to find a doctor or a doctor. Are we ...... Would it be better to move back to Pearl Bridge? ”
