Cao Wentai had already decided on a family affair, and the other party was the young daughter of an important minister in the court, and he could barely be called talented and beautiful, but because the other party's father and ancestors were all high-ranking officials, and there were many prominent people in the family, he reluctantly accepted it.

  Who knows, in the second half of last year, first because of the Lin family's frame-up, the Cao family suffered some blows in the court, and then the death of his grandmother, Duchess Chengen, and the Cao family's filial piety, and then there were rumors that the emperor was very dissatisfied with the Cao family, and sooner or later he would have to change the store and abolish Empress Cao, and the Cao family would not end well.

  Cao Wentai scoffed at these rumors. But his fiancée's family didn't know what was going on, but he actually believed it to be true, and before the New Year, he found a high-sounding reason and quit the marriage. Fortunately, the matter of the engagement, because the woman has long been on the sidelines of the changing situation in the DPRK and China, so she did not make a noise, and later Chengenhou Mansion served the sick and kept filial piety, and did not take this kind of thing out to publicize it, so there are not many people outside who know about it, and there are no rumors that are unfavorable to Cao Wentai for the time being.

  But because of this, the woman seems to think that after her family divorces, she can give her daughter another look, anyway, there are not many people who know that she has been engaged, so she just needs to treat it as if she has never been engaged. Even if the Chengenhou Mansion reacted afterwards and wanted to come to the door to theorize, there was nothing to be afraid of. Because the Cao family is worried about filial piety, they don't dare to offend the female family with several high-ranking officials for the time being.

  Cao Wentai has always had a very high opinion of himself, and he felt that the children of the same age in Beijing, in addition to the royal heirs, were the most noble and outstanding, but he was disliked one day! Especially when he inquired, what the woman is currently interested in looking at is Xiao Cong, the eldest son of the Zhuguo General's Mansion, and the cousin of the third prince, who is a mediocre talent in his eyes, he didn't think much of it in the past, but he didn't expect that he would have the courage to take his wife!

  Cao Wentai regarded this as a great shame.

  The third prince could only be regarded as a well-behaved follower of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the past, although his biological mother Xiao Guifei had the position of a concubine, but she had always been despised and neglected by Queen Cao, saying that she was able to get this high position, all because of her family background, and the emperor did not love her at all. Queen Cao would say this, naturally she has a reason, so Cao Wentai has always been respectful to the mother and son on the surface, but in fact, he has never taken them in his heart.

  It's just recently that he heard some rumors that the well-behaved third prince was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he also had some unsightly thoughts. He only thought that the other party was just daydreaming, but he didn't expect that now he could condone his uncle and cousin and step on the head of their Chengenhou Mansion! If he didn't do anything and let them be arrogant, wouldn't he lose the prestige of the Cao family?!

  Cao Wentai secretly planned to teach the three princes and the Zhuguo General's Mansion a lesson, and was also looking for a new fiancée for himself. He changed his goal, no longer staring at the daughters and granddaughters of those important ministers, but on the daughters of several county lords and eldest princesses. Now the Cao family is not very embarrassed in front of the emperor, and urgently needs a noble girl who can enter the palace to win the support of the queen mother.

  Among them, Ma Yurong is the most suitable candidate selected by Cao Wentai, compared with the county lord of Yanwang who is far away in Beiping, as well as several other county lords and daughters who are inferior in talent and temperament, Ma Yurong is worthy of him in everything, but he is a little younger, four years behind him. However, at the moment, he is about to keep filial piety, as a grandchild, he needs to keep his grandmother for a year, and Ma Yurong is younger, which is not without benefits. As long as she does not officially marry in the next year, he can ask Empress Cao to come forward to talk about the matchmaking after the filial piety is fulfilled.

  The mother of a country came forward to say yes, even the eldest princess couldn't categorically refuse. If he finds a way to curry favor with the eldest princess of Yongning, as well as Ma Yurong herself, he should be six or seven points sure of the matter.

  Cao Wentai's wishful thinking sounded, but he began to be courteous in front of the eldest princess of Yongning, and before he could even skim the matter, he was stabbed sideways by his cousin Cao Wenheng, and he was ruined! The eldest princess of Yongning just sent her mother-in-law to count him down, and those words sounded kind, but in fact, she was mean and disdainful inside, clearly telling him that this family affair was absolutely impossible to do, so he dispelled his mind earlier!

  Cao Wentai is almost angry! Originally, after he heard all kinds of rumors about Cao Wenheng, he also felt very unkind, and he looked down on his aunt Mrs. Pingnanbo's refusal to come to serve the sick while wanting to compete for the dowry and private house of Duchess Chengen. It's just that he thinks that this kind of thing can be dismissed by his mother and subordinates, and there is no need for him and his father to come forward. Their father and son only need to care about the big things outside, and they don't need to be distracted by this little thing at home. Pingnanbo Mansion has long been a grasshopper after autumn, and it can't become a climate, so you don't need to take it to heart at all.

  Who knew that now, he would be bitten hard by the grasshopper after the autumn!

  Xie Xianzhi looked at Cao Wentai's extremely ugly face, secretly gritted his teeth, and continued in a low voice: "Pingnanbo Mansion uses this kind of unworthy method to calculate other girls, which is really shameful, and it makes people cry and laugh. Such a stupid idea...... What if you really coax the horse girl? She corresponds with her eldest sister from time to time, and she only needs to mention it occasionally to debunk them on the spot. Recently, the eldest sister and Miss Ma have come to Bao'en Temple, and there will be no chance to meet. Pingnanbo Mansion knows that our brother and sister are here, and they still want to use this method, I really don't know what they are thinking......"

  Cao Wentai squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "If they weren't too stupid, they wouldn't be where they are today!" ”

  He took a deep breath and raised his eyes to stare at Xie Xianzhi: "Are you sure that Cao Wenheng really did this kind of thing?!" Isn't someone deliberately framing them?! What you said didn't add any fuel to it?! ”

  Xie Xian's heart jumped, but his face remained calm: "What am I coaxing you to do?" This kind of thing, how can others frame Pingnanbo Mansion? People from their family came to the door more than once to pester the eldest sister, and the neighbors in the neighborhood all knew about it. The eldest sister sells people and picks people, and now there is only one girl left waiting for her, which is also seen by everyone. As for the mother-in-law who came to the door to coax under false names, there are also people from the Ma family who can testify. If Cousin Wentai still refuses to believe this, I have nothing to say. It's just that Cao Wenheng has been in the temple recently, and it's not difficult for you to inquire about what he's doing. This kind of thing must be difficult for the Chengenhou Mansion. ”

  Cao Wentai's face became even more gloomy. He didn't even say goodbye, turned and left. Xie Xianzhi called him, and he didn't look back. He already knew everything he wanted to know, and the next thing was the time to find out. If Cao Wenheng really killed himself, of course he couldn't spare him easily!

  missed Ma Yurong, a good candidate, and he didn't know where to find a more suitable marriage partner for a while. As soon as he thought that the original good plan had been ruined at the beginning, he was so irritable that he wanted to find someone to vent his anger.

  Xie Xianzhi watched his back disappear at the end of the path and let out a long breath. It's the first time he's done to sow discord, and he's really not used to it. It seems that he is not this material, and he will still study and be a man honestly in the future.
