Chapter 115: Helpless

Regarding this question, Zhao Fengnian did not get an answer from Ye Laogao.

Because Cao Shuqing didn't tell Ye Laogao.

Fang Wenshan did not say who this force was in prison, but asked Cao Shuqing to help him pass the word to Cheng Enhou, and said that Cheng Enhou would definitely be able to guess who the other party was. As long as Cheng Enhou does what he asks, then he will show obvious flaws when facing the officials who interrogate him and even the emperor's henchmen, not only completing the task that the forces threatened him to do, but also saving the future of the Cao family.

Cheng Enhou also seems to have a good idea of where this force belongs. As soon as he changed his attitude of standing idly by in the past about the affairs between Cao Shuqing and Fang Wenshan, he immediately sent his henchmen to secretly leave the mansion, and went to the southwest with his handwritten letter to contact the old department of the Cao family. The Cao family is now in a difficult situation, and there may not be room to shelter a few prisoners' families, but the Cao family still has old relatives and friends, especially in the southwest, where Chengen Gong was stationed for decades before his death, and almost all the generals who can be counted are from the Cao family. Even if not everyone agrees with the Cao family's actions, it would be okay to ask them for a little favor. Fang Wenshan's parents and relatives are only a dozen or twenty people, and their own family also has a small amount of money, as long as there are people to protect them and take care of them in the official face, even if the court wants to arrest them, they can also live incognito and move to live in another country, and they can still live a stable and prosperous life.

Cheng Enhou secretly showed the copy of the letter to Fang Wenshan, and also wrote a handwritten letter, in which he swore that as long as the Cao family was fine, he would definitely keep the Fang family safe, otherwise people and gods would abandon him, and he himself would die without a place to be buried. Fang Wenshan burned the copy directly in prison, and in his heart he believed the promise of the Cao family, and wrote the letter on the spot, and let the messenger hand it over to Cao Shuqing.

Cao Shuqing immediately took the letter of separation to the government to ask for the return of her copied private property, but the other party refused, because the separation was in the back and the raid was in the front. When her property was confiscated, her surname was still "Fang", and if Fang Wenshan was not exonerated for a day, it was impossible for the government to return the confiscated property of the criminal.

Although Cao Shuqing was resentful in her heart, she was accompanied by the people sent by Chengenhou to keep an eye on her, suppressing her and preventing her from having a seizure, and directly dragged her away. If the industry is copied, just copy it, anyway, Cao Shuqing still has a lot of property in her hands, so she doesn't have to worry about her life being affected. was able to successfully get rid of the identity of the criminal dependent, and also saved the Cao family from a major disaster, which was just spent money to eliminate the disaster.

Cheng Enhou turned his attention to fighting openly and secretly with the forces that wanted to frame the Cao family, Cao Shuqing was extremely aggrieved, but no one was willing to listen to her. She really wanted to find the second brother who came out of the house, but with Mrs. Chengenhou staring, she was afraid of making the other party angry again, so she had to press it down. The Cao family almost all complained about her, she was too unsmart in the matter of peace and separation, if she agreed to Fang Wenshan's request early, not only would she be able to get the letter of peace and departure smoothly, but the other party would not agree to the request of that force because she was dissatisfied with her, and help them frame the Cao family. As for the concubines of the Fang family who were controlled as hostages to threaten Fang Wenshan, they were directly ignored by most of the Cao family. Even if some people still remember, they would feel that if it weren't for Cao Shuqing's insistence on marrying Fang Wenshan three years ago, they would not be implicated today at all.

The Cao family is so jealous and disgusted by the emperor today, isn't it all Ping Nanbo's trouble? He refused to stop even when he died, affecting the entire family. Now only Cao Shuqing is his sister and sister, who don't blame her?

There was even the head of the Cao family's house who went out to talk to Cao Wentai, and started the idea of Cao Shuqing's remaining private rooms. The treasures, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings she put away were worth one or two hundred thousand taels of silver. Anyway, Cao Shuqing is not an official now, and she has lost the protection of her mother and brother, how can a single woman who was abandoned by her husband's family live in peace with such a large amount of property? Don't you have to rely on your relatives for shelter? They are all brothers and nephews, and they can provide her with shelter, as long as she leaves her belongings in their custody.

After Cao Shuqing noticed the malice of her relatives around her, she was also frightened. She is now truly helpless. Even if she wanted to go back and ask for help from her second brother, because Cao Erye was kind enough to give her ideas before, but later she was estranged from the relationship, she was also dissatisfied and became cold to her. She cried and begged her second brother for shelter again, but the second brother refused to say more.

The second sister-in-law persuaded her: "My sister will either find another decent family to marry, and from then on she will have a husband and children with peace of mind; Or just leave home! You have so many private houses, take some out and sell them, buy some houses and fields, build a nunnery by yourself, find some serious Taoist aunts and nuns to recite the scriptures, and become nuns yourself, and then ignore the affairs of the world. Even if something bad happens to the Cao family in the future, it won't implicate you as a monk. You have even your own nunnery, and you have no shortage of money in your hands, and you have a field to support, and you still need to worry about food and clothing? Maybe life will be a little lonely, but I can finally get a quiet peace. In the future, if something really happens to the Cao family, the female dependents of the family, as long as there are people who can survive, they can also have a place to take refuge. ”

Where is Cao Shuqing willing to become a monk? But if she wants to find another person to marry, she can't find a suitable candidate. Now it is not as good as before, the momentum of the Cao family is not good, and those who are loyal allies but have unclean hands basically cannot escape the punishment of the imperial court; Even if she has clean hands and no loss of personal morality, she has been released one after another, and she can't take care of her as a divorced woman; As for the less die-hard, it's too late to stay away from the Cao family, who is willing to pull her?

What's more, Cao Shuqing's two marriages before and after were in a uproar when they left. She framed her ex-husband, and her step-husband eloped (the news deliberately released by the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion to explain the death of the Duchess Cheng'en), and within two years, she fell out with her step-husband over the issue of concubines and concubines left by her ex-wife. This kind of notorious and obviously unvirtuous woman is old and has no family blessings, even if she has a rich private property, few people are interested in marrying. Even if someone had ever been moved by her property, they were scared away when they thought of what the Cao family's situation was now.

But if she is not a person with a certain family background, identity, and property, how can Cao Shuqing be willing to marry? She has always felt that she is the daughter of a prince and a noble status!

Under such a premise, Cao Shuqing has to beware of the fall of the Cao family and implicate herself, and she must guard against the black hand stretched out from within her mother's family, and the situation is really not much better. Moreover, the result of Fang Wenshan's trial has not yet come out, and it is difficult to say whether the property in her hand will be confiscated again, so she has to find a way to secretly transfer some of it.

She hit the idea on her own children. Even though she knew that she had disappointed her two children, she also knew that they were still filial to her. As long as she doesn't do anything to endanger the Xie family, they won't refuse her. If Xie Pu was a little more generous, she might be able to use the power of the Xie family to protect herself.

Therefore, she sent Ye Laogao's family, with a few boxes of belongings, to secretly go out of Beijing and hurry to Beiping. She asked the two children to help her hide these boxes of belongings, and also told them in detail about her situation, hinted at them, and tried to persuade Xie Pu to help her.
