good meal

Chapter 246
Thinking about it, Chen Ge was about to denounce Cao Hong, when a little servant girl interrupted: "Master, madam asked the servant to ask, do you want to keep the guests for dinner?"

Prime Minister Cao would not let it go when he got the buffer, he said, "Madam is more considerate." Turning his head to look at Mr. Chen Gel, he smiled and said, "Let's stay with my in-laws and use them together."

Chen Gel also put on a smiling face and said, "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."

Seeing the attitude of the two who were obviously bored, Cao Hong lost his mind for a moment, and then put on a gentle smile.

The three of them ate together very harmoniously, and then continued the previous conversation. Mr. Chen Gel put away his smiling and friendly face, and looked at Cao Hong with almost fire in his eyes: "My daughter has always been If it was a star, I wouldn't use the moon to confuse her. You're a good kid. If you don't say anything, you can ruin her reputation. If it's an ordinary person, you're engaged to Yue'er anyway. How can you be so reckless? Is it possible that you have been wronged by being engaged to Yue'er?" After saying a series of words in one breath, Chen Ge showed disdain, "It's not that the elders are talking about you, young people, being a human being is all about self-knowledge."

Facing a series of accusations, Cao Hong smiled slightly and said, "I don't know why Mr. Chen made such a statement?"

"It's all here, nephew still wants to pretend it's okay?" Mr. Chen Ge snorted coldly, and said, "Nephew, is it true that you have to face real evidence before you are willing to tell the truth?"

"Master Chen." Cao Hong stood up and said politely, "Why do you have to push me so hard now?"

With one sentence, he choked back the rest of Chen Ge's words.

That's right, what else can we do now?My daughter had already booked a marriage that outsiders didn't like, but now that her reputation has been ruined, I'm afraid no one will want it.He originally wanted to take advantage of Cao Hong's mistakes to cover up Yue'er's shortcomings, but he didn't expect this young man to have thought of this long ago.

On the contrary, Prime Minister Cao, who cares about things but makes chaos, is inferior. In terms of business, Prime Minister Cao is indeed a good hand who can push forward and think ahead, but it is related to his eldest son, so it is hard for him to be inconsiderate.

With a slight look in his eyes, Mr. Chen Ge didn't let go of his attitude. He asked, "What does my nephew mean?"

"I don't mean much, but I want to ask my lord, what do you think?"

Seeing his son's neither humble nor overbearing demeanor, Prime Minister Cao felt for the first time that this son was exactly like him, but his face was still serious: "Presumptuous! Do you ever talk to elders like this?"

Cao Hong lowered his head and remained silent.

Elder Chen Ge laughed: "My nephew is frank, how much better than someone who beat around the bush!"

Prime Minister Cao, who was stabbed by these words, pursed his lips, and cursed secretly: old man, you are the first to talk about beating around the bush, how dare you talk about others?
Seeing the expressions of the father and son, Chen Gelao smiled a little bit, and said: "Since that's the case, then I'll make it clear that people don't speak dark words."

Hearing this, Prime Minister Cao regained his energy. He was not afraid of the old fox's request, but he was afraid that the old fox would hold back and play tricks.On the other hand, Cao Hong's eyes flashed a gloomy coldness, which was in stark contrast to his usual gentleness, but it was only for a moment, and no one in the room noticed his change.

"Things have happened now, but everyone knows that Yue'er's reputation was deliberately slandered by someone with a heart. Yue'er has always been gentle and generous, how could she do such a thing that doesn't matter!" Chen Gel looked angrily, "Princess Ning'an just showed Yue'er's face because of her status, but she was used by someone with a heart."

Hearing people mention Chu Liangrao's right and wrong, Cao Hong couldn't sit still for a while. He asked, "Why did Mr. Chen say that? No one in the capital knows about the dignified appearance of Princess Ning'an. Why did you come to Mr. Chen?" In the mouth, he has become a scoundrel? Could it be that Mr. Chen is so short-sighted that he only listens to that woman's words?"

"You!" Old Chen Ge's eyes widened, and he said, "Okay! Okay! It seems that this old man is worrying too much, and that's all for this relative!"

Hearing this, Prime Minister Cao hurriedly reprimanded Cao Hong: "Ignorant child, don't sit down!" Then he smiled and said to Mr. Chen Gel, "Young children are ignorant, please forgive me."

With the step down, Mr. Chen Gel also took the matter of retiring the marriage into his mouth. This was his weight, but it was not the result he wanted.

After a little silence, Mr. Chen Ge took a few exaggerated breaths, drank another cup of tea, and then said: "Now that things are up to now, what I say is useless, and it depends on the attitude of my nephew."

After kicking Cao Hong for the trouble, Mr. Chen Gel stopped talking.

Under the watchful eyes of the elders, Cao Hong said without thinking, "I only have one idea, to retire!"

As soon as this remark came out, both Prime Minister Cao and Mr. Chen Gel were stunned, and Prime Minister Cao was even more regretful. He hurriedly explained: "Children are ignorant, so please don't take it to heart. As the so-called major marriage matters, all Parents' order, matchmaker's words, when will it be his turn to be the master?"

Hearing this, Chen Gel's expression relaxed a bit, he looked at Prime Minister Cao and said, "It's still the Prime Minister who knows what's interesting."

With dry laughs, Prime Minister Cao glared at Cao Hong, and reprimanded in a low voice: "What are you doing standing there, and you still don't back down!"

"Father, Mr. Chen!" Cao Hong did not back down, he stood up straight, and his voice raised a bit, "I have made it very clear, I want to retire!"

"Shut up! You bastard!" Prime Minister Cao raised his hand to hit Cao Hong, but he couldn't do it, so he let out a "hi" and put down his hand.

"Okay! Well, you Cao Hong, you've ruined my son's reputation, and you want to withdraw from the marriage. You have a good idea!" Chen Ge patted the coffee table and said, "My Yue'er, you must marry, if you dare to treat me badly She, I want you to look good!"

"Master Chen, since Ms. Chen is so outstanding, why worry about not being able to marry? Why bother to embarrass me?" Cao Hong coughed twice, and said, "I'm afraid I won't be blessed!"

The tough attitude made Chen Ge feel old-fashioned. He came today to seek more benefits for Yue'er, that is to ask Cao Hong not to take concubines. Unexpectedly, this request has not been said yet, but it was rejected by others. General one army.

The two stared wide-eyed, Prime Minister Cao came forward to mediate, severely criticized Cao Hong, and then he spoke kindly to Mr. Chen Gel again.

Seeing that Prime Minister Cao's attitude had not changed, Chen Ge felt at ease again. Whether or not they get married is not a matter of nodding from the elders, but he is too worried.Thinking about it, Chen Gel became more pleasant to Prime Minister Cao again.

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

But Cao Hong did not give up. He knelt in front of Prime Minister Cao, knocked his head twice and said: "Father, the child is not in good health. It is unfilial not to share the worries of father and lord. If you marry another wicked woman to start the family, you will only get married." It will only add to the troubles of the mother, if so, the child would rather not marry for the rest of his life!" After finishing speaking, he kowtowed again, as if he would not stop if someone refused to agree.

Prime Minister Cao's expression sank, and he shouted: "Yuan Bao, help the young master go down to rest!"

Yuan Bao with sharp ears trotted in and saw that Cao Hong's forehead was scratched. He hurriedly stepped forward and put his hand on Cao Hong's forehead, persuading him, "My lord, why are you bothering?"

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

Yuan Bao was taken aback, and hurriedly helped Cao Hong up.

Cao Hong glanced erratically at his father, then at Chen Gelao, who looked livid, his body was hanging on the short Yuanbao like a kite with a broken string.

Yuan Bao struggled to hold on, and there were bead-sized beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Cough, cough, cough..." Cao Hong coughed again, his long hair loosened a little bit with the movement of his body, covering his sickly face, "Cough cough..."

A trace of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth, like a meandering snake, which was particularly eye-catching on the white and creepy skin.

"Young Master! Young Master!" Yuan Bao called eagerly.

But Cao Hong was already powerless, and his body slipped to the ground little by little.

At this time, the other two people in the room saw Cao Hong's face. His pale face was covered with a layer of ashes, which made people feel bad.Prime Minister Cao, who has been in the court for many years, was flustered for the first time. His lips trembled, and it was with great difficulty that he opened his teeth to ask for a doctor.

After hearing the news, Mrs. Cao also fainted from crying. Chen Gel, who was originally a guest, was accused of being the murderer. In the end, he had to hide his face and leave. When he stepped out of the prime minister's mansion, he slapped his sleeves twice and cursed: "unlucky!"

Sitting in the carriage, old Chen Ge's face became even more ugly. It's hard to say whether Cao Hong can see the sun tomorrow with his current appearance. Could it be that this marriage is really forgot?It's a trivial matter to retire this kiss. If it affects the cooperation between the two, I'm afraid that outsiders will take advantage of it. Then wouldn't all his arrangements for so many years be in vain?

Thinking of this, Chen Ge couldn't help cursing again: "It's really a woman's opinion! What bargaining chip do you want? If a man doesn't take a concubine, is he still a man?"

Hurrying back to the mansion, Mr. Chen Ge started to ask Mrs. Chen to prepare some precious medicinal materials and send them to the prime minister's mansion free of charge.

This time the prime minister was also hardened, and without a word, he returned everything intact, and even put down his words, saying that Cao Hong had some good things and two bad things, and there was no end to him!
After hearing the stammering message from the servants, Mrs. Chen became anxious and asked, "Master, what should I do?"

Chen Gel, who was already upset, didn't answer, he said: "This kid, he doesn't get sick sooner or later, but what happened at this time, I'm afraid it was premeditated!"

"Everyone has an accident, why are you still talking sarcastic!" Mrs. Chen turned around anxiously, "I haven't married this month, so don't just become a widow first!"

"Yue'er Yueer! Do you have any brains? Is the relationship between our two families still just a marriage relationship?" Chen Ge said with a very ugly face, "If the prime minister turns his face, all previous efforts will be for naught. , when the time comes, there will be no half of our Chen family in this country!"

After hearing what Mr. Chen Ge said, Mrs. Chen became even more anxious. She sat down and cried: "What can I do? It's fine, what are you going to do to provoke that kid? It's not that you don't know that he is weak, so you insist on making something out of him. Can something happen?"
