Chapter 396: Vicious Thoughts
Soon, the day of the appointment with Mrs. Cao will come.
Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu went to her courtyard, and saw her commanding people to be busy, and the dragon spirit and tiger were very fierce.
"Ah, the prefect and the prefect's wife are here?
Seeing the two of them coming, Mrs. Cao hurriedly pulled Cao Shu forward, with a bright smile on her face that Mu Jiaojiao had never seen in her life.
Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief. Mu Jiaojiao understands this truth, Cui Pu understands it, and Cao Shu also understands it.
Therefore, among the four people, the old lady Cao, who was only one year old, was like a butterfly all over the scene, calling this and pulling that, and she was very busy.
Cao Shu couldn't stand it anymore.
She whispered, "Great-grandmother, what are you going to do?"
"Didn't I say it, set up a wine to thank your cousin and his wife for taking care of you over the years!" Mrs. Cao smiled, "I have thought about it for the past two days, and I think what you said is also somewhat reasonable." Our Cao family has been defeated, and now there are only two of us left, and we can't do anything, so it's good to live well and continue the bloodline of the Cao family. Our ancestors and grandchildren have no permanent property, I am old and old, think about it this way, in fact, the Qiu family is not bad, although the background is lower, but as long as he is willing to be good to the thirteen ladies and give birth to a son to the Cao family in the future, I will admit this family business!"
These words restored some of her demeanor, but Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao still felt that something was wrong.
When Cao Shu heard her mention Qiu Shan, she couldn't help but blush, and whispered in shame: "Great-grandmother, there is no shadow yet, what are you talking about!"
"Didn't your cousin and cousin-in-law already settle everything with Qiu Langjun? That's a certainty, there's nothing wrong with that!" Mrs. Cao said immediately.
Cao Shu's face turned even redder, and she quickly lowered her head and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu exchanged a look with each other, and understood in their hearts - her old man deliberately said these words, it turned out that she wanted to solve Cao Shu's unstable factor first.
Then next, it's their turn.
Sure enough. Seeing that Cao Shu stopped talking, Mrs. Cao picked up the cup and said to them: "I respect you for this cup! Thank you for taking care of the thirteen ladies in the past two years, and thank you for finding such a good family for her." In the past, it was me, an old woman, who was blinded by lard and couldn't see reality clearly. Fortunately, you don't care much about us, and you still think about the thirteen ladies everywhere. Luckily, I've come to my senses, and now I'm going to punish myself with three cups!"
In any case, Mrs. Cao is an elder. If she punishes herself with three cups, it means that Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu have to drink nine cups together. Add in the cup she toasted just now, that's twelve cups!
Cui Pu knew that it was not good when he heard it, and he was busy trying to dissuade him. Who knew that Mrs. Cao didn't listen to persuasion at all, and drank all four glasses of wine in one go!
Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao were helpless, so they could only drink twelve cups hard.
Mu Jiaojiao had a limited amount of wine, and only barely drank three glasses before standing up with mung bean's hand: "I'm not strong enough to drink, and now I'm dizzy." I won't stay here with you any longer, I'll go back and lie down first. ”
"Okay, be careful on the road, and remember to use antidote before going to bed before lying down. Old Mrs. Cao hurriedly and gently comforted.
Mu Jiaojiao nodded, and then said to Cui Pu: "I'll go first, you can stay here with them for a while, so that you can do your best." ”
"Oh. Cui Pu agreed unhappily.
And as soon as Mu Jiaojiao left, Mrs. Cao became more and more active in pouring wine for Cui Pu. And after a pot of wine was poured, she hurriedly beckoned again: "Bring that pot of amber light again, I must give a good tribute to Governor Cui today!"
"No, no, I've already drunk a lot. Cui Pu hurriedly waved his hand, but Mrs. Cao insisted on respecting, and pulled Cao Shu with her. Cui Pu had no choice but to continue drinking.
And the new wine was replaced, and after a few glasses of wine, it didn't take long for Cui Pu to shake twice, holding his forehead with one hand and shouting: "What's the matter? Why do I feel so dizzy?"
After speaking, he closed his eyes and fell on the wine table.
"Ahh
Old Lady Cao smiled coldly and said to the left and right: "Governor Cui is drunk, you can help him to rest in the wing." ”
Two maids came forward, helped the man up, and left. Cao Shu saw that the direction was actually her boudoir!
Her face turned pale. "Great-grandmother, what the hell do you want to do?"
Mrs. Cao didn't say a word, grabbed her and walked inside.
After entering her boudoir, the two maids put Cui Pu on her bed, and Mrs. Cao began to pull Cao Shu's clothes.
Cao Shu shouted: "Great-grandmother, are you crazy? He is my cousin-in-law, and I am about to marry Qiu Lang!"
"Heh, a little-known little doctor, will you and I agree to you marrying him? I would rather you be a concubine for Governor Cui, and I would never let my Cao family's bloodline be tarnished by such untouchables!" Old Lady Cao said coldly.
Cao Shu looked at her in disbelief. "Great-grandmother, you are really crazy! My cousin-in-law and my cousin are deeply in love, this is a fact that everyone knows. They have been married for almost ten years, and there is only one cousin in the eyes of his cousin-in-law, and he has already announced to the public that he will not take a concubine in his life!"
The reason why he said that was just because the girl of the Mu family was too domineering, so he didn't have the courage to do bad things! Now as long as you cook raw rice and give him a taste of sweetness, you see how he behaves!"
"And you are young, and you are a big girl with yellow flowers, and your background is good, and when you follow him, even if you are a concubine, your status must not be low. No matter how hard you work to give birth to a little Langjun, your position in this mansion will be stable! Lao Zhuhuang, the cheap girl of the Mu family, where can I compare with you?"
After hearing her say this, Cao Shu's three views almost exploded.
"Great-grandmother, how can you say that about my cousin and cousin-in-law? They are my only remaining relatives in this world, and they are also our saviors! If you treat them like this, you are limiting me to the land of injustice! I don't do this kind of thing!"
With that, she shook off Mrs. Cao's hand and walked out.
Moreover, Mu Jiaojiao's face is ...... People are old and yellow, and these four words will definitely not appear on Mu Jiaojiao. The current Mu Jiaojiao is only twenty-five years old, still young and beautiful. Once, she broke into Mu Jiaojiao's room because of an important matter, and when she saw her just after bathing, her beautiful and refined face directly shocked her in place, making her forget what she wanted to say for a long time.
Others apply grease and powder to make themselves look better, but Mu Jiaojiao is to cover up her too outstanding beauty! And day and night with such a beautiful woman who captivates the country and the city, where can Cui Pu look down on other women?
In terms of beauty, there are only a handful of people in this world who can compare to Mu Jiaojiao. In terms of intelligence and ability, who else can compare with her?
Therefore, Cui Pu threatened not to take concubines again, and she was very able to understand this idea. After all, who is used to seeing graceful and luxurious peonies, who would be interested in wildflowers on the roadside?
It's a pity that Mrs. Cao is still so self-conscious, so she uses the advantage of her youth to fight against Mu Jiaojiao......
This is clearly pushing her into the fire pit, and it is also pushing their grandparents and grandchildren into the fire pit together!
However, within a few steps of turning around, Cao Shu noticed that his whole body was weak, and his hands and feet could not exert his strength.
She collapsed to the ground weakly, and it was easy to turn around and stare at Mrs. Cao: "Great-grandmother, you are really crazy!"
"Hey, Thirteen Ladies, you're still too young after all. But it doesn't matter, after waiting a few more years, after you become a mother, you will know that I am doing this completely for your good, and also for the good of our Cao family! Even if I am a concubine for Governor Cui, it is definitely much better than being a wife for that little Langzhong! Great-grandmother is for your good!"
Mrs. Cao persuaded her bitterly, so she took the initiative to help her up.
Helping the person to the bed, she took the initiative to start untying Cao Shu's wide clothes.
Cao Shu was weak, and could only watch helplessly as Mrs. Cao untied her clothes one by one, tears flowed from her eyes: "Great-grandmother, you will regret it, you will definitely regret it!"
"I won't!" said Mrs. Cao triumphantly.
As she was talking, she heard a sound outside, and she suddenly became even more proud: "Listen, that cheap girl from the Mu family is here to catch the adulterer!"
"No!" Cao Shu's tears suddenly flowed even more violently, "Great-grandmother, take your cousin-in-law away, don't let your cousin see it! Cousin, she is not in good health, she will be angry when she sees such a scene!"
"It's best to be angry with her! If she dies, you can be a steproom justifiably, and you don't have to be a concubine!" Mrs. Cao said, and the more she thought about it, the more reasonable she felt, "This idea is good! Your identity is enough for Cui Liuzi, and you are still wronged by being a steproom...... Hey, why didn't you give birth to her a few years earlier, otherwise you would be the one who is the prefect's wife now!"
As she spoke, she pulled up Cui Pu's hand hanging by her side, intending to put it in Cao Shu's open placket.
After this step is done, it is time for them to retire.
But at this juncture, something went wrong.
Before her hand reached Cui Pu, a hand had already pushed him away in advance.
"Just because you are also worthy of touching this mansion?" a cold shout startled Mrs. Cao and her party.
I don't know when, Cui Pu has already opened his eyes, then turned over and jumped out of bed directly to tidy up his clothes.
Mrs. Cao exclaimed: "You, you, you...... How could you ......"
"You are stupid to me, I don't know that your old woman will secretly calculate me? And have you forgotten what my lady does? Such an inferior sweat pill also wants to pour me down? Do you know that this is insulting my lady's level?" Cui Pu tidied up his clothes in twos and straightened out, and smiled coldly at her, "But I didn't expect that you would just calculate our husband and wife, and now you still want to kill her! Originally, I just wanted to see the excitement and play a trick on you." But now it seems that I can't help but be on guard, you old lady. ”
As he spoke, a cold aura burst out around him, almost making everyone's breath condense.
Seeing him walking towards him, Mrs. Cao was so frightened that she trembled all over, and she collapsed as soon as her legs became weak.
But she still desperately stepped back, and her eyes were full of fear: "Don't come here......! Just say, didn't I touch her? Don't come here again!"
"Tell me, aren't you already doing it now? You still want to my lady to death......
"Who is angry alive?"
At this time, the door was suddenly knocked open, and Mu Jiaojiao walked in with someone Shi Shiran.
"Lady, you are here! If you don't come again, you will be skinned and eaten for your husband!"
As soon as he saw her, Cui Pu immediately changed his face, and hurriedly ran to her side with a low voice.
