Chapter 296: Don't be too arrogant
Early in the morning, Cao Li was woken up by Fan Meihua.
Cao Li looked at Fan Meihua with an unhappy face, and his tone was also very unfriendly: "It's early in the morning, why did you wake me up?"
Fan Meihua looked at Cao Li, frowned slightly, and felt a little unhappy, but she still spoke to him well: "Isn't this to find you a place to live?" Let you have a place of peace of mind. ”
Cao Li's face softened a little, and his tone changed a little better: "Wait for me, I'll clean up first."
Fan Meihua nodded and left.
It didn't take long for Fan Meihua to take Cao Li to a small courtyard in the cloth village, although it was remote, but the scenery was still very beautiful.
"Is this courtyard still to your liking?" Fan Meihua asked Cao Li.
Cao Liang looked around thoughtfully, and said, "It's okay, but I think something is missing."
After hearing this, Fan Meihua continued: "If there is anything wrong with that, you can tell me about it, and I will arrange it for you."
"I don't have anything you want me to do right now, but I'm a little hungry." The implication of Cao Li's words is obvious.
Fan Meihua quickly understood what Cao Li meant, and said, "I'll let someone go and make something delicious for you, please wait a moment."
Cao Li nodded, and Fan Meihua motioned for his subordinates to do it.
"By the way, I just remembered that I think there is something missing in this courtyard, I don't know if you can help me." Cao Li was in a good mood because he was able to instruct Fan Meihua.
After hearing this, Fan Meihua frowned slightly, this Cao Li is simply an inch, I don't know what to do, but there is no way, she has to do what he said.
"Say it, I'll arrange it for you." Fan Meihua endured the unhappiness in her heart and told him angrily.
So, Cao Li told Fan Meihua what she wanted.
Among them, Cao Liang also made other requests, all of which were difficult for Fan Meihua.
It wasn't until Cao Li nodded with satisfaction that Fan Meihua breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, it was really troublesome to serve this man.
Suddenly, Cao Liang looked at this chic small courtyard and remembered Cao Yu, so he whispered: "Hey, I don't know where Brother Cao went after coming to Tu County."
Cao Li thought that his voice was small enough, but he didn't expect that this sentence completely fell into Fan Meihua's ears.
Fan Meihua, who was standing behind Cao Li, hooked her lips slightly, feeling that she had received great news.
After settling down with Cao Li, Fan Meihua quickly felt Chen Xiaoxiao's residence.
She knocked on Chen Xiaoxiao's door, and after a while, Chen Xiaoxiao opened the door and walked out.
"What's the matter?" Chen Xiaoxiao asked.
Fan Meihua motioned to come to the house to talk, which was not very convenient outside.
Chen Xiaoxiao and Fan Meihua sat in the room and talked about it.
"I heard some news from Cao Li's mouth, and I don't know if it's true or not." Fan Meihua said with a serious face.
Chen Xiaoxiao listened carefully and said, "Tell me."
"From Cao Li's mouth, it means that Cao Yu has returned to Tu County, and he may be hiding somewhere."
Hearing this, Chen Xiaoxiao thought for a while, and suddenly remembered the strange subordinate who followed Yeluda in the yamen that day.
If she guessed correctly, that person was Cao Yu.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaoxiao hooked her lips happily, and then said to Fan Meihua: "In this way, in order to lure Cao Yu out, we should do something, you go and meet the uncle who raises silkworms."
Fan Meihua nodded.
After Chen Xiaoxiao and Fan Meihua said a few words, they went their separate ways.
Fan Meihua led people to the uncle's house that raised silkworms, while Chen Xiaoxiao led people to Yeluda's house.
And in the house at this time-
"I sent someone to search, and the person who died that day was not Cao Li." Yeluda sat on the chair and said to Ling Xiu'er and Cao Yu.
After hearing this, Cao Yu looked thoughtfully at the coffee table in front of him and said, "It's just a trick of the tanuki to change the prince."
Ling Xiu'er also nodded in agreement and said, "Then what should we do next?"
"We don't have to rush to think of countermeasures now, if we act now, then Cao Li's safety will be threatened, and we will be alarmed before." Cao Yu said.
Yeluda and Ling Xiu'er nodded in agreement.
They all knew that Cao Liang was safe for the time being.
At this moment, the guard hurriedly ran in, and then said to Yeluda, "Master, there is a woman named Chen Xiaoxiao who wants to see you."
Yeluda was about to refuse, but Ling Xiu'er preemptively said, "Let her come in and see what she wants to do."
The janitor nodded and went out.
Ling Xiu'er looked at Cao Yu and said, "You better avoid it first, Chen Xiaoxiao is not a perfunctory master, I think she may have noticed it this time."
Cao Yu nodded and left.
It didn't take long for Chen Xiaoxiao to come in.
There were also several slaves and maids behind him, all with a small basket in their hands, which seemed to contain something.
"Yo, Xiu'er came to entertain me so warmly." Chen Xiaoxiao looked at Ling Xiu'er and said proudly.
Ling Xiu'er also smiled and said, "Then what kind of wind blew you here?"
"It's not because I want to see you, I'm in a hurry to see you." Chen Xiaoxiao flicked her sleeves and said.
Then let the slave put the basket on the table, and said to Ling Xiu'er: "This is a unique food in the capital, and I want to send it to Ling Xiu'er to taste today."
Ling Xiu'er also smiled and returned: "That's really hard for you."
Chen Xiaoxiao handed the basket to Ling Xiu'er and motioned for her to take it.
Ling Xiu'er saw that Chen Xiaoxiao didn't say anything excessive, thinking that she was a conscience discovery today and stopped fighting with herself, but what she didn't expect was.
When she was about to take the basket, Chen Xiaoxiao let go of her hand.
Basket "Bang! fell to the ground, and Ling Xiu'er realized that she was careless.
Chen Xiaoxiao looked at the baskets scattered on the ground, and pretended to be sad and said: "Although our grievances are not settled, but today I am indeed kind to greet you, if you don't want to accept my gifts, you can say it directly, why humiliate me in front of everyone like this?"
Ling Xiu'er wouldn't let her, so she opened her mouth and taught her: "Oh? Is it? I only believe what I saw, obviously you didn't hold it steady, so the basket fell to the ground, why did it become my fault again? ”
"And I don't think you're kind enough to greet me today, we've all had grudges for a few years, so why bother?"
When Chen Xiaoxiao heard this, she confessed her purpose for coming here: "Let's be straight, I can't be kind enough to visit you, Ling Xiu'er, don't think that I don't know that Cao Yu has come to Tu County, but don't worry, I won't tell anyone, but as a condition, you have to tell me the secret recipe of colorful silk."
