Chapter 378: Children's Toys

"Looking for Cao Niangzi?"

Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu exchanged a look with each other, and their hearts couldn't help but rise.

"Didn't the porter tell him that we don't have any Cao Niangzi here?"

"Yes, but she doesn't believe it!" and ......" Mung Bean lowered her voice a little, "She insisted that she was Cao Niangzi's family, and she had come all the way to join Cao Niangzi." She even said that if we don't let her in again, she will expose all the old bottoms of Cao Niangzi!"

Mu Jiaojiao twisted her eyebrows again.

"Do you think what this man said is true?" she asked Cui Pu.

"No, I'll know when I see me. Cui Pu said, "It's not a problem for people to make a fuss at the door, drag her in first." By the way...... "He paused, "go and invite Cao Niangzi." ”

Cao Shu is now helping Mu Jiaojiao manage the affairs of the medical hall. During the time when Mu Jiaojiao was sick and fell in bed, she did all the things in the medical hall.

For two years, she has been working beside Mu Jiaojiao. Without the support of her family, she lives alone in the world and works extra hard. Although her talent is average, she is willing to work hard to learn, and she has accumulated it over the years, and the effect is not bad.

Now, the arrogant little lady has become the thirteenth sister respected by everyone in the medical hall. Mu Jiaojiao was planning to directly hand over the Mu Family Life Hall to her to take care of.

Cao Shu soon returned. Because she was in a hurry, the tip of her nose was covered with fine sweat. When she walked in the door, she didn't have time to wipe it, so she hurriedly saluted Mu Jiaojiao: "Cousin, are you looking for me?"

Mu Jiaojiao shook her head: "There is a person outside, saying that he is looking for you, you can go and meet you!"

Cao Shu's body shook. "Looking for me?"

"I don't know, maybe it's a relative of the Cao family before! ”

A tear immediately appeared in Cao Shu's eyes. She hurriedly lowered her head, answered in a low voice, and turned around and left.

When she was far away, Cui Pu squeezed her eyes: "I'll go and see it too." If there's anything new, let Mung Bean come back and tell you!"

He was depressed today, so he wanted to do something bad secretly, right? Mu Jiaojiao nodded weakly in agreement.

Following Mung Bean's guidance, Cao Shu rushed to the side hall, and heard a hysterical shouting coming from inside-

"Get out! Who allowed you untouchables to touch me? It's almost the same to call your master to serve me! What about Thirteen Niang? Tell her to come to me, I only talk to her now!"

Hearing this, her footsteps suddenly stopped. Tears rolled a few times in his eyes, but his expression didn't seem to know whether he was crying or laughing.

The maids inside were driven out, and as soon as they looked up and saw Cao Shu, they hurriedly stepped forward as if they had grasped a life-saving straw and said: "Thirteen ladies, you are here! The one inside is clamoring to see you, and none of us will let you touch it! You hurry in and have a look, so as to persuade her to take a bath and change into clean clothes." She is like this now, what if she brings her illness into the house and infects Xiao Langjun and Xiao Niang?"

"I see. Cao Shu nodded, and then raised her feet and walked inside.

As soon as the front foot crossed the threshold, the people in the back foot side hall discovered her existence, and the people immediately rushed to her: "Thirteen Niang, you are really here!"

Cao Shu looked at him coldly, and was about to open his mouth to speak, but he didn't expect the man to start scolding immediately: "You who have no conscience, I will say that you are the same as your aunt and the people of the Mu family, all of them are wolf-hearted things! Your aunt secretly sent you away and ruined the marriage contract with Xiao Changshi, which resulted in the destruction of our Cao family! As a result, you are good, you eat and drink well here, and you dress up so brightly, completely ignoring the suffering I have suffered outside for so many years! You unfilial daughter! Why didn't you die in the first place?"

Originally, seeing this relative, Cao Shu was still a little excited in her heart. But that little excitement was immediately extinguished by this person's scolding.

"Who are you, old man?" she asked coldly.

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then immediately pulled her collar and scolded even louder: "Cao Sanniang! It's only been a long time, and you don't even recognize your own great-grandmother? You say, did the surname Mu teach you? I'll go to the government to sue you for disobedience now!"

"Isn't this the official mansion?" Cao Shu said coolly.

The old man made a move, and immediately said: "Then I will go to the assassin Shi and go to the Jiedu envoy to complain, saying that you escaped from the prisoner of the Cao family two years ago, and I will sue the Yangzhou prefect and his wife for hiding the fugitive!"

"You!" When these words came into her ears, Cao Shu's face suddenly turned white with anger, "Okay, you sue, just sue! It's better to tell others that Chang'an, who committed the crime at the beginning, made the old mother fake her death." You asked all the men and women of the family to bury you with you, but you escaped for fear of death. You see that the government can't cure your crimes!"

"Hmph, I'm so old, even if I punish the crime, I can't be cured!" the old man said immediately.

"Really, but why does the government remember that the New Tang Dynasty law says that a woman who has reached the age of sixty is not guilty? But those who have unforgivable sins are not in this case?" Then a voice came from outside, and the two of them both looked back, and saw Cui Pu swaggering in from outside.

Cao Shu hurriedly lowered her head: "Cousin-in-law." ”

The old man twisted his neck and deliberately looked away.

Cui Pu didn't care, took the initiative to step forward, and bowed to her: "I really didn't expect to see you, Mrs. Cao, in Yangzhou." The government also thought that the catastrophe two years ago caused the Cao family to be wiped out, and only the thirteen ladies survived. As a result, it seems that there is more than one lucky person, the thirteenth lady, shouldn't this mansion say congratulations to your old man?"

This person is the old lady Cao who was said to have been scared to death by the officers and soldiers who came to the door to raid the house. But now, looking at this person jumping around in front of him, he is very energetic, and it seems that the past two years have not been bad!

Old Lady Cao heard his sarcasm, so she whispered: "You and Mu Liu are in the same group, they are not good things, I don't talk to you." ”

"Okay, come on, carry this old man out, send him to the Wang's Assassin's Mansion, and tell him that this mansion has caught a sinner who has faked her death and absconded, and the person will be handed over to him for disposal!" Cui Pu immediately said.

And the people outside also moved very quickly, and Hongdou immediately came in with two women with big shoulders and round waists.

Old Lady Cao hurriedly shrank behind Cao Shu, but she still shouted loudly: "You dare! If you send me to the assassin Shi, I will accuse him of harboring fugitives!

"Oh, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. Cui Pu chuckled, "As early as two years ago, after the Cao family's accident, the mansion had quietly asked someone to hook the names of the thirteen ladies of the Cao family from the Cao family's daughters. Now she is the Cao family of Yangzhou Mansion, and she has nothing to do with the Cao family in Chang'an City!"

Old Mrs. Cao was stunned, and immediately pointed at Cao Shu's nose and scolded: "Okay, you, it's only been two years, and you have even sold your ancestors! Our Cao family has raised you for so many years, how can we raise such an ungrateful thing? Your father and mother, as well as your grandfather Jiuquan, know that they can't spare you!"

Cao Shu was scolded so much that tears welled up in her eyes, and she had the heart to defend herself, but when she thought of her deceased father and aunt, she was so choked up that she couldn't speak.

Seeing this, Cui Pu sneered even more in his heart.

This old woman came to ask for help, but she still put on such a high posture, did she still think that she was the mother of Chang'an Ling? But even if she was the old mother of Chang'an Ling, she didn't have such a snort when she arrived at their Cui family!

Moreover, knowing that he was not good to offend, he tried his best to vent to Cao Shu, and his feelings were just a lustful and inward-looking thing, and he would only sprinkle on the weak.

He despised her.

"What are you all doing in a daze, hurry up and tie up the people to the palace and send them to the king's assassin!" he commanded the servant.

"You, you...... You dare!" Old Lady Cao was busy hiding behind Cao Shu again.

What would he not dare to bully an old, weak, sick and disabled person? Cui Pu sneered, and with another wave of his hand, the two servant women immediately stepped forward and grabbed the person.

Old Lady Cao hurriedly struggled and shouted. Those eyes were even more desperate to Cao Shu's side: "Thirteen ladies, are you going to watch me being taken away by them like this? I am your own great-grandmother! I loved you so much, have you forgotten? And your aunt, if it weren't for me, you and your aunt would have such a good life in the Cao family? I ...... If I'm dead, it's ...... you."

The screaming stopped abruptly.

"Lang Jun, she fainted. The servant woman said.

"Is it really faint or fake?" Cui Pu expressed doubt. There's no way, someone who can even come up with a method like fake death to deceive the court, what else can't she do?

Mung Bean stepped forward to study it. "It's really faint. ”

Cao Shu also hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the person, and then looked at Cui Pu hopefully: "Cousin-in-law, I ...... it."

"Well, I see. Cui Pu nodded, "People are already sick like this, and we can't do anything to throw people on the street." It's just that this old lady's temper is too stinky, even if we take her in this time, I'm afraid it will be thankless. We don't have people in our house who are looking for trouble and causing trouble, you should understand this. ”

"I understand. Cousin-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely take a good look at my great-grandmother, and I will never let her be like that before!" Cao Shu hurriedly promised.

Cui Pu bowed his head. "I believe you for now. However, if it turns out that you can't, then we'll do it for you. ”

Cao Shu was stunned and nodded hurriedly. "I see!"

The fact that Mrs. Cao came back from the dead really shocked Mu Jiaojiao.

"I really didn't see that this old lady was so bold!"

"Where is the boldness? It is clearly that you are afraid of death!" Cui Pu snorted, "Moreover, the children and grandchildren of the family have all been recruited, and now most of their lives have been lost in the Western Regions, and the female dependents have also died generously." But as long as she is an elder with a little courage, she will not live alone in the world. But she has survived until now, and she has not traveled thousands of miles from Chang'an to find Yangzhou. If you want to say that she came by mistake, I don't believe it. ”

"Yes. Mu Jiaojiao sighed, "This old lady is really an eye-opener for me. I've never seen such a selfish elder. There are so many people in the Cao family, obviously they were all miserable by her, but she turned back and buttoned her hat on the head of the thirteen ladies. Now, obviously I came to join the Thirteen Ladies, but I still put the shelf so full. Could it be that she still wants the thirteen ladies to continue to offer her as an ancestor?"

Sigh again. "Next, the life of the thirteen ladies is only afraid that it will be sad. ”

"Not necessarily. Cui Pu shook his head.

Mu Jiaojiao looked at him puzzled.

I saw Cui Pu rubbing his hands, looking eager to try: "Lao Tzu just suffered a loss at Dai Ziang's place, and he won't go back for the time being! Now there is an old man who can't stop sending it to the door by himself, if I don't give her a little bit of power, how can I be worthy ......of listening to her howl there for a long time just now?"

The corners of his lips curled upward, and the arc was cunning and perfect: "Aren't they boring, big lady, big lady, big langjun?
