good meal

Chapter 242

As expected, within half a day, there were rumors about Chen Yue'er in the capital, and some old accounts from before were also revealed, all about how overbearing and unreasonable she was.Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this rumor is obviously spread maliciously, but for people in the market, what they care about is gossip.

"I didn't say it. This time, Ms. Chen was lucky, and she met Princess Ning'an. If she dared to do like the former Princess Tongnan, I'm afraid it would be miserable."

The listener followed with emotion: "Isn't it? It is said that good people are bullied by others, and Princess Ning'an has a good temper, so she will be missed by this immoral woman."

Some people gloated and said: "A daughter-in-law with this kind of character, the prime minister's mansion will be quite lively."

"Heh, it's hard to say whether the Prime Minister will recognize this relative when something like this happened." Some analysts also stood up and said, "Miss Chen is not young at all, and her character is still bad. She really wants to marry her." Man, it really brought disaster to the in-laws."

"Yes, yes." The onlookers nodded in agreement.

And one of the boys in gray clothes heard about it, so he trotted to the teahouse at the corner of the street, saluted a handsome man, and said, "My lord, everything has been arranged, I think it will spread everywhere."

After lightly rubbing the tea, the man didn't speak a word, as if he was intoxicated by the fragrance of the tea, his relaxed eyebrows looked like those drawn by a brush, which was indescribably beautiful.

Seeing that his young master didn't speak, the boy in gray didn't speak either, and just stood behind him with his hands down.

After taking a sip of the tea, the man put down his teacup, and gracefully took out a handkerchief to wipe his wet lips. The smooth movement was very pleasing to the eye, but within a short while, he coughed violently.Even though the veil was tightly covering his mouth, a series of coughing sounds that made the heart tremble broke out.

The servant who was serving at the side hurriedly stepped forward to pat his back to comfort him, poured out two more pills and handed them to the man, saying, "Master, it's time to take some medicine."

Pushing away with a wave of his hand, the man coughed vigorously, finally stopped coughing, he clenched the handkerchief in his hand, and said in a hoarse voice: "It doesn't matter if you take this medicine or not? Anyway, I won't live for two days. It would be better to avoid the pain of this decoction."

"My lord..." The boy blushed sadly, and said, "Master has been looking for famous doctors everywhere, and he will surely find one who can cure you. You must not give up."

"You don't need to say much, I know what my body looks like, cough cough."

"But son..."

Raising his hand to interrupt the boy's advice, the man showed a smile on his face: "Let's not say whether the cure is good or not, if you can get rid of that wicked woman, even death is worth it."

Hearing this, the servant became even more sad, and even his nose turned red.

The man didn't notice it, he looked away and murmured, "It's all thanks to her..."

This her was undoubtedly Chu Liangrao.

At the beginning, he had also approached his father and made a vow not to marry Feiqing, but he also knew that Chu Chaoyang regarded his daughter as the jewel in his palm, so how could he value himself, a sick and consumptive man?Thinking about it, the man laughed at himself, and then picked up the teacup again.

Even so, he didn't want to marry a notorious woman as his wife. He said that he would never marry a woman in this life. Since she was already married, he didn't need to have extravagant hopes.

It is rare to be infatuated in the world, but who knows his infatuation except himself?
At the same moment, there was a thunderous roar from the prime minister's mansion: "Bastard! The old man worked so hard to find this relative for him, but he ruined it for him."

"Master, calm down, what's the use of getting angry at this time, think of a way."

"Find a way to find a way! It's you who pampered him on weekdays to develop his temperament. If something happens, let me find a way! Hmph!" After slapping the armrest of the grand master's chair heavily, Prime Minister Cao stood up, Pacing back and forth in the room with hands behind their backs, "At this pass, my in-laws must know that Hong'er is behind the scenes. No, I still have to go there myself."

Seeing that Prime Minister Cao was in such a hurry, Mrs. Cao said aggrievedly: "If it wasn't for the lack of moral character of the daughter he raised, how could such a thing happen? A good girl's family always provokes troubles. This time, she met Ning'an County It's her bad luck."

"You still have the face to speak sarcastic words! Quick! Change my clothes." Prime Minister Cao ordered.

Although Mrs. Cao was unhappy, she still helped him change his clothes.

The carriage was already prepared outside the door, and Prime Minister Cao strode forward, rushing to explain.

Before getting into the car, Cao Hong appeared. He coughed twice, stepped forward and saluted, "Where are you going, father?"

Seeing Cao Hong, Prime Minister Cao became even angrier, but considering his son's health, he didn't get angry. He just said with a sullen face, "You're back? Now get in the car with my father, and go to accompany my in-laws."

"Father, what happened to ask the child to make an apology?" Cao Hong looked puzzled, with a pale complexion coupled with an innocent expression, even a hard-hearted person would not be able to help but soften his heart.

Prime Minister Cao is such a person, looking at his son, he sighed: "Forget it, you go in."

"Yes." Cao Hong took a few steps back, watched his father's carriage drive away, coughed twice, and then walked slowly into the gate.

"The young master is back." A maid came up to greet her and said, "Madam is waiting for you."

"Ahem, I understand." Cao Hong responded, but stopped when he reached the second gate.

"Young Master?" The servant gave Cao Hong a puzzled look, and saw that his face was ashen, as if he couldn't breathe, so he asked in a panic, "Young Master, what's wrong with you?"

"Keep quiet, cough cough." Cao Hong rested against the wall, and said, "It will be fine after a while."

"Young master, you should take medicine. You haven't taken medicine for a long time. You were not like this before."

No matter what the servant babbled, Cao Hong remained unmoved and just closed his eyes. If it wasn't for his chest rising and falling violently due to coughing, he calmly seemed to be asleep.

He is obviously a person who looks extremely fragile, but he has a more stubborn personality than anyone else. It has to make people sigh that it is really a blessing.

After recovering his breath, Cao Hong straightened up and said like a normal person, "Let's go."

"Yes." Burying the sadness in his heart, the servant followed his steps.

Seeing a mother who asked questions about her coldness and warmth, and answered the questions she had prepared, Cao Hong had a gentle demeanor from the beginning to the end, and there was nothing unusual about it.Even Mrs. Cao felt that her son was the same as before, but she didn't think much about it. She was on his side, so she didn't even think about accusing him. She just told him not to worry. to deal with.

Cao Hong nodded obediently and coughed a few times.

"You're tired, go back to the house and have a rest, this dinner will be served in your room." Mrs. Cao said dotingly.

Cao Hong got up to say goodbye, and ran into his second brother who had returned from school when he went out. He got out of the way, and let the second brother who looked disgusted enter the house to talk to his mother.

"Mother, Mr. Jin'er can praise the child."

"Is that so? My son is amazing."

The interior is warm, but the hearts of the people outside are cold.

In this mansion, what does it matter if there is him or not?Looking up at the eaves, Cao Hong smiled with a hint of relief on his face.

That night, Prime Minister Cao returned to the mansion with a dark face, and he refused to ask anyone. He didn't talk to Mrs. Cao until the lights were turned off at night: "This old man surnamed Chen really treats his daughter like a daughter." What happened, I already lowered my face and saluted him, but he still said that this marriage can't be done, is it true that her daughter can still marry?"

"Master, don't blame this concubine for being talkative. It's not easy for me to look at the girl from the Chen family. This relationship might as well be nothing more than that."

"Women's opinion!" Prime Minister Cao sat up and said, "Do you know how important the relationship between our two families is? The resignation of the marriage at this time is not in the hands of others."

Mrs. Cao was stunned for a moment, and said: "Chen Ge's old family is not the only famous family in this capital. Hong'er is so outstanding, why don't you worry about finding someone else?"

The corner of his mouth twitched, and Prime Minister Cao heaved a long sigh.

Seeing that her husband is in such a difficult situation, Mrs. Cao simply did not mention the matter of retiring, she just said: "My lord, look, does Mr. Chen Ge want to benefit from it?"

This remark hit Prime Minister Cao's heart, he thought for a while, and said, "I thought so too, but that old man is like a fox, he has to go around three times to say a word, but people don't understand what he's thinking what."

"I really don't know how to flatter you." Mrs. Cao said angrily.

The two of them muttered about it in the middle of the night, and the next day Mrs. Cao followed what was discussed last night and brought some treasures to Chen's residence to visit.Madam Chen was very polite, she didn't turn her away, she also accepted the gift, she didn't mention anything about what happened yesterday.

If Mrs. Chen didn't say anything, Mrs. Cao's heart beat, and she thought to herself: It's really a family of foxes, what's the point of not saying anything after accepting all the gifts?
It seemed that she had to speak with a shy old face.

With a smile on her face, Mrs. Cao said: "Mrs. Chen looks so good, she looks so enviable."

"Where is there, Mrs. Cao was joking. When it comes to complexion, who can compare to Mrs. Cao?" Mrs. Chen also said with a smile, "You really look younger by several years."

When it came to beauty treatment, the two became warmer, and soon, Mrs. Cao brought the conversation to the main topic and said: "Madam, you also know that my master came to pay for it yesterday, but I don't know. What is Master Chen thinking?"

"Oh?" Mrs. Chen said with a dazed expression, "Madam Cao's visit today is for this purpose?"

"Yes." Mrs. Cao nodded slightly, and said apologetically, "Hong'er is ignorant and made a big mistake. I hope my mother and father-in-law will be more tolerant. After all, he is also your son-in-law."

"It sounds good, how could a son-in-law slander his wife like that?" Mrs. Chen's smile disappeared, and she said coldly, "I have gained knowledge, there are still such arrogant people in this world , come here, see off the guests!"

Mrs. Cao was stunned for a moment, not sure why Mrs. Chen changed her face like this, but she also lost her temper and asked, "What do you mean?"
