Wanqin pale and returned to the ear room where she lived.

The close-fitting girl Ginkgo thoughtfully waited for her to change out of the fur cloak that sheltered her from the wind and snow, she was a little impatient, waved her hand and signaled Ginkgo to go out, don't bother herself.

Ginkgo retreated to the corner of the house meekly and obediently, began to boil the stove to boil hot water, prepared the water for the hostess's feet, and did not leave the house, and secretly watched Wanqin's movements from time to time, the latter did not care, only fell into deep thought.

Wanqin recalled that after dinner, on the way back, she overheard the conversation between the second girl, Xie Mulin, and the eldest girl, Xie Yinghui, at the corner of the verandah. The second girl made an appointment to find out about the news about the Cao family in the capital from the old man Xie Pu or his wife Wen, and specially whispered to the eldest girl who had a good relationship to know. Although Xie Yinghui is the grandson of the Cao family, she is still thinking about her biological mother Cao Shuqing, but she is not very nervous about the news that the Cao family is in trouble. She also seems to feel in her heart that the Cao family is full of evil, and it should be retributed, but it is not the eldest uncle Cheng Enhou who is in charge of the family, but the second uncle Cao Erye, who has always been kind, and she is a little unconvinced.

Although Second Master Cao has always followed Changfang and Queen Cao closely, and is not very close to the children born to his stepmother, his attitude is not particularly bad - he is a concubine, and he can't play prestige in front of the children born in the steproom, and he has always been polite, and he doesn't dare to let his stepmother catch the handle. And Xie Xianzhi and Xie Yinghui, the two children born to Xie Pu and the daughter of the Cao family, who were obviously calculated of their property, there is no need for Cao Erye to target. Therefore, Xie Yinghui used to have a good impression of this second uncle. In addition, his daughter Cao Wenying is also a gentle and generous girl, and she has always been gentle to her younger siblings and cousins, so Xie Yinghui naturally has no resentment towards the second room of the Cao family.

As a long house, the Cheng Enhou family can hold up a friendly virtual shelf to the Xie family, let alone the second room? When Xie Yinghui hated the Cao family because of her grandmother's death, she only focused on the Chengenhou family, and would not be angry with those who were attached to the long house, because they were never the one who was in charge, just vassals.

This time Cao Erye had an accident, Xie Yinghui only felt that she really didn't misunderstand the Cao family's cold-hearted and affectionate style: "In the past, Cheng Enhou always said that Cao Erye was his most trusted and valued brother, but once something happened, he pushed his brother out to be a scapegoat." What does the river engineering case have to do with Cao Erye? Isn't that what the Wang family and the Cheng family did? No matter how bad it is, doesn't Mrs. Chengenhou also have her maiden relatives serving in the river? If Cheng Enhou wants to find someone to blame, where can't he find it? has to pit his own brother, this is the deepest brotherhood in his mouth! ”

After the ridicule, she was a little sad: "My mother still thinks that she can live in the Chengenhou Mansion." But Cheng Enhou is still ruthless to Cao Erye, who is my mother? When will she come to her senses? She has a lot of dowry, countless slaves under her hands, and there is no shortage of houses and granges, can't she live by herself?! ”

Wanqin didn't listen carefully to Xie Yinghui's later words, she hurried back to her room, shocked by the big news she had just heard.

Something will happen to the Cao family? Even Second Master Cao is in prison! With Cheng Enhou's attention to this brother, if it weren't for the fact that the situation was so serious that it was irreparable, it would be impossible for him to choose to sacrifice this brother, because the latter knew too many secrets about him! But he still did it, and Second Master Cao also ...... It seems that he agreed to sacrifice himself, could it be that the Cao family is really embattled?!

What crime did the Lin family accuse the Cao family of? What kind of deadly evidence do they have?!

Wanqin knew almost nothing about the Cao family's affairs in the court, but just because she had heard rumors of the Cao Lin family fighting each other for many years, she also knew that the two families must have a lot of unsightly deeds, which could not be easily exposed. Not to mention anything else, back then, the Cao family's three rooms calculated to frame Xie Pu, and the long room followed to drink soup to take advantage, which is definitely not something that can be put on the table. Xie Pu was just lucky, and there were big people who were willing to take care of him, so he escaped smoothly. What about those who have not escaped with a fortune? After all, Wanqin has been with Xie Pu for more than ten years, and she is definitely not a naïve little girl who thinks that her own master is a loyal and good general. She knows very well that the Cao family is powerful, but at the same time, there are many black histories, which cannot be discovered!

Mo Feilin's family is really in a desperate situation this time, so in order to fight hard, he sold his long-time enemy regardless of it?

If something really happened to the Cao family, Empress Cao and the crown prince would definitely save them, right? Will the dignity and power of the Cao family be affected?

Wanqin couldn't be sure, thinking that she hadn't asked the Cao family to help find decent family affairs for a pair of children, and her father and stepmother and siblings were even servants in the Chengenhou Mansion, she couldn't help but feel anxious.

The former is just down, although it is a pity that things don't work out, but it won't hurt her own life in the end, but the latter is difficult to say - in case the Cao family really falls, and the servants in the family are all sold by the official, she is far away in Beiping City, where can she be saved? !

Wanqin remembered her younger brother Ye Jinrong, who should still be in Beijing, and hurriedly called Ginkgo: "Do you know that the merchant ship of the commercial house under our family's name, which day will the next ship return to Beijing depart?!" ”

Ginkgo paused: "Auntie, the last boat has left this year." Have you forgotten? Previously, the wife also told the second girl that she would give the men who went south with the boat a New Year's allowance in advance, saying that this year was colder than in previous years, and if the boat did not leave, the canal would freeze in a few days, and there would be no way to leave. ”

Wanqin secretly choked her wrist and asked again: "What about taking the land route?" There are still people who deliver urgent letters by land, right?! ”

Ginkgo looked at her and said, "Auntie, do you have any urgent letter that needs to be sent back to the south?" But for the Ye family's uncle? ”

Wanqin slapped the table and said, "I asked you, you just answered, what are you doing with so many questions?!" She realized that she was a little out of shape, and hurriedly sorted out her expression, "I am a little worried that my father's old illness is the most likely to be committed in winter, so I want to write to my brother to remind him to take care of him more." If the ship of the commercial bank has already departed, I don't know which car or boat company in this Beiping city can help deliver the letter? ”

Ginkgo said, "I'll go find someone to inquire." I'm new here, so I can't really answer. ”

Wanqin looked a little impatient, but she also knew that this was the truth, and she had to ask Ginkgo to answer her question immediately, which was really difficult for a strong man.

Ginkgo said again: "Auntie, don't worry, Uncle Ye has always acted reliably. He must know that your father has an old illness, and he will take care of it more. ”

Wanqin opened her mouth and was deflated again. This is true, if the family is really betrayed by the government, as long as the younger brother Ye Jinrong is in the capital, he will definitely not sit idly by. Even if he doesn't look down on his stepmother and his younger siblings, he won't let his biological father suffer.

Wanqin calmed down a little, but she was still anxious in her heart. She has to find out whether the rumors of the Cao family are true or not! If this backer is really unreliable, she has to reconsider what she should do next.
