After thinking about it, Chen Ge was just about to open his mouth to denounce Cao Hong, when a little maid 'interjected': "Master, Madame asked the slave maid to ask, do you want to keep the guests for dinner?" ”

With the help of buffering, Prime Minister Cao Cheng would not let go, he said: "It's still Mrs. who thinks thoughtfully." Turning his head to look at Chen Ge Lao, he smiled and said, "The in-laws will stay and use it together." ”

Chen Ge Lao also put on a smiling face and said, "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

Seeing the two of them who were obviously disgusted with each other behaving like this, Cao Hong lost his mind slightly, and then put on a gentle smile.

The three of them ate together very harmoniously, and then continued the previous words, Chen Ge Lao put away his smiling and friendly face before, and looked at Cao Hong's eyes almost erupted with fire: "My 'girl', I have always asked for stars, I will not use the moon to obscure her, you are a good child, you will ruin her reputation without saying a word, if it is an ordinary family, you are also engaged to Yue'er, how can you be so reckless?" Could it be that you have wronged you by marrying Yue'er? Speaking a string of words in one breath, Chen Ge's old face 'revealed' disdain, "It's not that you are an elder, young man, being a man, you are in the name of self-knowledge." ”

Faced with a series of accusations, Cao Hong smiled slightly and said, "I don't know why Lord Chen said this? ”

"It's all here, do you still want to pretend that it's okay?" Chen Ge Lao snorted coldly and said, "Virtuous nephew, is it true that you have to rely on real evidence before you are willing to tell the truth?" ”

"Lord Chen." Cao Hong stood up and said politely, "Now that the matter is over, why do you have to 'force' each other? ”

In a word, he choked back the rest of Chen Ge Lao's words.

That's right, what else can be done now? My 'daughter' was already a family affair that outsiders were not optimistic about, but now she has a bad reputation, and I am afraid that no one will want it. He originally wanted to use Cao Hong's misconduct to cover up Yue'er's shortcomings, but he didn't expect that this young man had already thought of this.

On the other hand, Prime Minister Cao Cheng, who cares about 'chaos', is inferior to 'color', to say that in business, Prime Minister Cao Cheng is indeed a good hand who can push the past and think about the future, but when it comes to his eldest son, it is difficult for him to think about it.

With a slight look in his eyes, Chen Ge Lao did not soften his attitude, he asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"I don't mean much here, but I want to ask the adults, what do you want to do?"

Looking at his son's humble and arrogant behavior, Prime Minister Cao Cheng felt for the first time in his heart that this son was really exactly the same as himself, but his face was still serious: "Presumptuous! Did you talk to your elders like that? ”

Cao Hong lowered his head and remained silent.

Chen Ge Lao laughed: "The virtuous nephew is frank, I don't know how much better than the people who beat around the bush!" ”

Prime Minister Cao Cheng, who was stabbed by these words, pursed his lips and scolded secretly: Old horseman, you are the first to beat around the bush, and you still have the face to talk about others?

Looking at the expressions of the father and son, Chen Ge Lao smiled a little and said, "In this case, then I will not say dark words." ”

Hearing this, Prime Minister Cao Cheng came to the 'spirit' god, he was not afraid of the old fox's request, he was afraid that the old fox would hold back and make it bad. Cao Hong's eyes flashed with a hint of 'yin' coldness, which was in stark contrast to the usual mildness, but it was only for a moment, and none of the people in this room noticed his change.

"Now that things have happened, everyone knows that Yue'er's reputation is purely deliberately slandered by people with intentions, Yue'er has always been gentle and generous, where would she do that kind of thing that doesn't know the seriousness!" Chen Ge Lao looked indignant, "The county lord of Ning'an just relied on his identity to show Yue'er's face, but he was used by someone with a heart. ”

Hearing someone mention Chu Liangrao's rights and wrongs, Cao Hong couldn't sit still for a while, and he asked, "Why did Lord Chen say this?" The dignified posture of the lord of Ning'an, who in Kyoto doesn't know who doesn't know, why did he become a scoundrel in the mouth of Lord Chen? Could it be that Lord Chen's vision is so short-sighted that he will only listen to the words of the 'woman'? ”

"You!" Chen Ge Lao's eyes widened and said, "Okay! Good! It seems that the old man is too worried, and this 'door' is just like that! ”

Hearing this, Prime Minister Cao Cheng hurriedly reprimanded Cao Hong: "Ignorant child, don't sit down yet!" He said to Chen Ge Lao with a smile on his face, "The child is not sensible, and I hope to bear with me." ”

With the steps down, Chen Ge Lao also received the matter of retiring from his family, which was his weight, but it was not the result he wanted.

After a little silence, Chen Ge Lao gasped for breath rather exaggeratedly, drank another cup of tea, and then said: "So far, everything I say is in vain, and it depends on the attitude of the virtuous nephew." ”

Kick the trouble to Cao Hong, and Chen Ge Lao didn't say more.

Under the gaze of the elders, Cao Hong didn't think about it, so he said: "There is only one thought below, withdraw from relatives!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Prime Minister Cao Cheng and Chen Ge were stunned, and Prime Minister Cao Cheng was even more remorseful, and he hurriedly explained: "The child is not sensible, don't take it to heart." is the so-called marriage event, it is the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, when will it be his turn to be the master? ”

Hearing this, Chen Ge's face was a little relieved, and he looked at Prime Minister Cao and said, "It's still the Prime Minister's interest." ”

Laughing dryly, Prime Minister Cao Cheng glared at Cao Hong and reprimanded in a low voice: "What are you doing standing up, don't retreat!" ”

"Father, Lord Chen!" Cao Hong didn't flinch, he stood straight, and his voice raised a few points, "It's very clear below, I want to withdraw from my family!" ”

'Shut up!' Bastard! Prime Minister Cao raised his hand and wanted to hit Cao Hong, but he couldn't do it, so he had to put down his hand with a "hi".

"Good! Good you Cao Hong, you have a bad reputation for my son, and you want to quit your family, but you want to be beautiful! Chen Ge patted the coffee table and said, "My family Yue'er, you have to marry, if you dare to treat her badly, I will definitely want you to look good!" ”

"Lord Chen, since Miss Chen is so 'beautiful', why can't she get married? Why bother? Cao Hong coughed twice and said, "I'm afraid that I won't be blessed!" ”

The tough attitude made Chen Ge angry, he came today to seek more benefits for Yue'er, that is, to ask Cao Hong not to take a concubine, but he didn't expect that this request had not been spoken, but it was countered by someone.

The two of them stared at each other, and Prime Minister Cao Cheng came forward to mediate, severely criticized Cao Hong for a few words, and he said good things to Chen Ge Lao again.

Seeing that Prime Minister Cao's attitude had not changed, Chen Ge Lao felt at ease again, this is not a matter of nodding from the elders, but he is too worried. Thinking about it, Chen Ge Lao became kind to Prime Minister Cao Cheng again.

The two of them looked at each other and reached a consensus with each other.

But Cao Hong did not give up, he knelt in front of Prime Minister Cao Cheng, kowtowed twice and said: "Father, the child is not in good health, and it is not filial piety to not be able to share the worries of his father. After saying that, he kowtowed again, as if he didn't agree, and he didn't stop.

Prime Minister Cao Cheng's expression sank, and he shouted: "Yuanbao, help Gongzi go down and rest!" ”

The ingots with pointed ears hurriedly trotted in, and when he saw that Cao Hong's forehead was broken, he hurriedly stepped forward and put his hand on Cao Hong's forehead, and persuaded: "Childe, why are you suffering?" ”

"Not yet!" Prime Minister Cao raised his voice.

Yuan Bao was startled, and hurriedly picked up Cao Hong.

Cao Hong's eyes fluttered at his father, and then at Chen Ge Lao, whose face was pale, and his body hung on the dwarf ingots like a kite with a broken string.

The ingots struggled to support, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on their foreheads.

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Cao Hong coughed again, his long hair loosened little by little with the movements of his body, covering his sickly face, "Ahem, cough ......"

A trace of blood flowed out of the corner of the mouth, like a small snake winding, which was particularly eye-catching on the white and terrible skin.

"Childe! Son! Yuan Bao called out anxiously.

But Cao Hong was already weak, and his body slid to the ground little by little.

At this time, the other two people in the room saw Cao Hong's face, and his face as white as paper was 'covered' with a layer of dead ash, which made people feel bad when they looked at it. Prime Minister Cao Cheng, who has been in the court for many years, panicked for the first time, his lips trembled, and it was easy to pry open his teeth and ask for a doctor.

After hearing the news, Mrs. Cao, who rushed over, also cried and fainted, Chen Gelao, who was originally a guest, was accused of being a murderer, and finally had to hide his face and leave, stepping out of the prime minister's mansion, he slapped his sleeves twice and scolded: "Bad luck! ”

Sitting in the carriage, Chen Ge's old face was even more ugly, and now Cao Hong's appearance is still difficult to say whether he can see the sun tomorrow, could it be that this family affair is really like this? This retreat is a trivial matter, if it affects the cooperation between the two, I am afraid that outsiders will take advantage of it, so won't his arrangements for so many years be in vain?

Thinking of this, Chen Ge couldn't help but scold again: "It's really a 'woman' opinion!" What kind of bargaining chips do you want, is a man still a man if he doesn't take a concubine? ”

Hurried back to the house, Chen Ge Lao began to ask Mrs. Chen to prepare some precious 'medicine' materials and send them to the Prime Minister's Mansion without money.

This time, the prime minister was also stiff, and without saying a word, he returned everything intact, and even put down his words, saying that Cao Hong had three longs and two shorts, and he was not finished with him!

Listening to the stammering words of the subordinates, Mrs. Chen was also anxious and asked, "Master, how is this good?" ”

Chen Ge Lao, who was already upset, did not answer, he said: "This kid, he is not sick sooner or later, but if something happens at this time, I am afraid that it was premeditated!" ”

"Everyone has an accident, why are you still talking about the wind and cold!" Mrs. Chen turned around in a hurry, "I haven't married this month, so don't be a widow first!" "Yue'er'er! Do you have any brains, so far, is the relationship between our two families just a relationship? Chen Ge's old face was very ugly, and he said, "If the prime minister turns his face, it will be all wasted in the past, and when the time comes, where will there still be half a point of our Chen family!" Listening to Chen Gelao's words, Mrs. Chen became even more anxious, and sat down and cried: "What can I do about this?" Good decent, what are you going to provoke that kid for? Don't you know that he's weak and has to do something? ”
