Cao sat cross-legged on the Luohan bed, listening to Gui Zhen's report on the results of his trip to prison in Dali Temple, and couldn't help but be upset: "How can this be? We didn't show any flaws, why didn't Xie Pu agree to hand over the property?! ”

Gui Zhen hesitated, secretly glanced at Mother Du outside the door, and replied in a low voice: "It must have been last night, Mother Du went to Xie's house, and she spoke carelessly, which annoyed the Wen family. Wen sued in front of Master Xie, and Master Xie was suspicious in his heart, so he hesitated? When the slave maid was released from prison, she also felt that something was wrong, and asked the jailer. According to the jailer, Wen did go there this morning, and entered the prison an hour earlier than the slave maid and saw Master Xie. ”

Cao Shi became more and more angry when he heard this: "Then why didn't you go over earlier?!" If you had met Xie Pu before the Wen clan and got the warrant and secret words, it would have been done by now! You can't do a little thing, what do I want you to do?! With a flick of her hand, she swept the teacup on the small square table to the ground and shattered it into eight pieces.

Gui Zhen said softly: "Mrs. is angry!" Although Mother Du offended Wen's family, she was just telling the truth, who would have thought that Wen's would go to Master Xie to complain? However, they didn't know what his wife was planning, and even if they sued him, it would be fine. Even if Master Xie hesitates for a while, he will figure it out sooner or later, and there is no other way than to hand over all the Xie family's wealth to Pingnanbo Mansion for trusteeship. He just can't see his true situation clearly, and when he sees it clearly, he won't disobey his wife anymore. At that time, what does the wife want him to do? ”

Cao said angrily: "Sooner or later, sooner or later, I don't want it sooner or later!" The more this thing drags on, the more troubled my heart will be. If I don't make this a foregone conclusion sooner, I won't be able to sleep at night! I'm annoyed enough, you're going to make trouble for me! ”

Gui Zhen shrunk her neck, although she had carefully skipped the responsibility for being late and blamed Du's mother for everything, but she still couldn't solve the actual problem. What the Cao family wanted was Xie Pu's submission, but Du's mother said the wrong thing, which caused Xie Pu to be wary of Pingnan Bofu. This is very detrimental to what Pingnan Bofu is going to do next, no wonder the Cao family is angry.

However, in the final analysis, isn't this incident caused by the main mother Cao? The Jiang family withdrew from the marriage, and the Cao family told the Xie family about the matter, and all the things that should be returned were returned, and the Xie family was resentful and resentful of the Jiang family. However, the Cao family wanted to detain Xie Yingzhen's Geng post and other things, and planned to use her to marry when needed, so he transferred the resentment of the Xie family to himself. Why bother?

Xie Pu is going to end sooner or later, among his children, Xie Xianzhi and Xie Yinghui are the biological children of the Cao family, and they can still rely on the names of the descendants of the Cao family and Pingnan Bofu to talk about a good family matter, and the rest of the children are all criminal ministers, who can they marry with? Even if he is an ordinary wealthy businessman who has the intention of clinging to the Cao family, I am afraid that he would rather ask to marry the girl next to Mrs. Ping Nanbo, right?

Gui Zhen didn't understand Cao's plan, but she knew that she couldn't persuade her directly, so she could only coax her with words. Fortunately, it didn't take long for Pingnanbo's wife Cheng to arrive.

When Mrs. Ping Nanbo entered the door, the Cao family was still counting Guizhen, and the former said when he saw this: "Sister doesn't need to blame this girl, she didn't make any big mistakes, who knew that Xie Pu would lose her temper because of this little thing?" We can't afford to wait two more days, and things can be done sooner or later. ”

When Cao saw his sister-in-law enter the door, he immediately calmed down, stood up and saluted: "Why is my sister-in-law here?" The expression was faint, not as affectionate as before.

Seeing this, Mrs. Pingnanbo thought about it carefully, and probably guessed why. She sneered in her heart, but her face did not show any abnormality, and she only sent Gui Zhen down with gentle words: "You go out, you have worked hard today, go back to my girl to get a first-class reward." Your wife has me here. ”

Gui Zhen showed joy, hurriedly thanked Mrs. Ping Nanbo for her reward, cautiously peeked at Cao's family, and withdrew.

Cao's face was expressionless, but he was a little annoyed in his heart. She remembered Wanqin, if Wanqin was here, she would definitely get her permission before accepting her sister-in-law's reward, right? It is even more impossible to accept the instructions of others without waiting for her to speak. Sure enough, the so-called henchmen around her are actually the henchmen of her brother and sister-in-law, and there are very few who are really only towards her.

But isn't it all her own doing? has always relied on the people from her mother's family to marry, and she has not cultivated a few henchmen in the Xie family, but she will obey her orders in everything when she is a henchman of her mother's family, but she forgets that she may also have disagreements with her brother and sister-in-law. Now it's too late, I can only hold back this breath, and after marrying into the Fang family, I will slowly figure it out.

Only the two sisters-in-law were left in the house, so Mrs. Ping Nanbo showed a gentle smile and asked softly: "Sister, I have heard that you detained the Geng post of Xie Pu and Wen's daughter, but it caused Wen's dissatisfaction. She ran to complain to Xie Pu, but Xie Pu didn't agree to entrust the family money, didn't she? Why are you doing this? Don't tell me, it's really because I feel pity for the children of the Xie family and want to give them a future, I won't believe it. ”

Cao pursed his lips, turned his head away, and remained silent without speaking.

Mrs. Ping Nanbo sighed and took Cao's hand: "Good sister, I know, since Fang Wenshan sent you false news, causing you to lose face in front of the officials of Dali Temple, your brother and I have never complained about Fang Wenshan, but have helped him do things well, dragging down your reputation, you have been complaining about your brother and me, thinking that we are just using you to marry Fang Wenshan for profit, not really for your sake, right?" ”

Cao's eyes turned red, and he looked back at her: "Sister-in-law doesn't have to defend my brother, it's not the first time my brother has done this kind of thing." I was just...... I feel wronged, Brother Wen Shan caused me to fall into such an embarrassing situation, and my reputation was greatly damaged, you didn't help me get angry, and even helped him to suppress me, what is the reason? ! I almost buried my life for my brother, can't my brother be more sincere to me?! He's so worried that Brother Wen Shan will refuse to marry me?! ”

Mrs. Ping Nanbo's Cheng Shi hurriedly smiled: "My sister misunderstood! Fang Wenshan is messing around, why aren't your brother and I angry?! It's just that you have already decided in your heart that you want to marry him, and you will be married to him in the future. Now for this little thing, the world is turned upside down, in case you hurt the feelings, it won't be you who will suffer in the future? Your brother thinks about you wholeheartedly, even if he is angry in his heart, seeing that you can't help but be angry, and you want to make a temperament, you can only help to play a round, and think of a way to reconcile you as soon as possible. Otherwise, he and you will get angry with Fang Wenshan, and they will make trouble with each other, how will it end in the future? You don't know, that day he heard about Fang Wenshan's false news, and he shouted on the spot that he was going to beat Fang Wenshan. ”

Cao's face softened a lot, but he was still a little skeptical: "Really? ”

"Nature is true! What is my sister-in-law coaxing you to do? Mrs. Ping Nanbo sat down beside Cao Shi with a smile and stroked her back, "Good sister, your brother and I are your relatives, no matter what you do, we are looking forward to your well." For example, this time, although Fang Wenshan is hateful, if he wasn't worried that Xie Pu wouldn't be convicted, you wouldn't be able to marry him, so how could he be in a hurry and make a stupid move? He did stupid things because he wanted to stay with you. If he hadn't seen this, your brother wouldn't have spared him. ”

When Cao Shi heard this, he remembered that when he had a private meeting in the middle of the night, Fang Wenshan was jealous because she interceded for Xie Pu, and his heart couldn't help but soften.

She slowed her tone: "That...... My sister-in-law told my second sister-in-law yesterday that she was considering marrying Hui'er to the sick son of the Yang family in the southwest, what is going on? ”
