Chapter 551
"What? We still have to move the army?!"
Everyone was shocked because of Cao Biao's words.
I thought things would go smoothly, but as long as Shangguan Hong nodded, the engagement between the two families would remain the same.
Unexpectedly, this would be the result in the end.
"I don't understand. Where is I worse than Concubine Cao Xuan? Why does Shangguan Hong refuse to marry me?!"
Cao Zhiyuan gritted her teeth and was very angry.
As a woman, she has greatly lowered her figure when she can take the initiative to come to ask for marriage.
However, Shangguan Hong did not give her any face at all and asked someone to blow her out.
Even from beginning to end, she didn't even look at her directly.
It's simply a naked humiliation!
"Shangguan Hong refused to change marriage, and Concubine Cao Xuan refused to marry. What should I do now?" someone asked suddenly.
"If you want me to tell me, just tear your face off!"
Cao Zhiyuan said a little angry: "Since Shangguan Hong doesn't give us face, there is no need for us to give him face!"
"Teach kite! Be careful!"
Cao Jun quickly shouted and stopped.
You can't say such words randomly, be careful of the walls.
"Last brother, you are the patriarch, please make the decision!"
Cao Biao sat down angrily, picked up the teacup and drank it all.
He was in Shangguan's family just now and was very wronged, but now he is full of anger.
"Since the marriage change doesn't work, I can only find another way."
Cao Guan said with a serious expression: "I plan to hold my fiftieth birthday in advance, and the time will be set on the wedding day. At that time, I will invite guests and hold a big banquet!"
"Hold the fiftieth birthday?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, not sure why.
At this critical moment, is it meaningful to have a birthday in advance?
"Last brother, what do you mean is to put pressure on the Shangguan family through this birthday?"
After thinking a little, Cao Jun quickly reacted.
"That's right."
Cao Guan nodded: "Since Shangguan Hong is going to force a marriage, I will hold my birthday. I believe that in front of many powerful and famous celebrities, the Shangguan family should not dare to do anything randomly."
“It makes sense…”
Cao Jun touched his chin: "My Cao family has a wide range of relationships and many connections. If you show your strength appropriately, you may be able to make the Shangguan family look down on the odds."
"Last brother, what you said can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. What if Shangguan Hong calls the army?" Cao Biao asked the key point.
The reason why the Shangguan family is powerful is because of its deep military background.
Almost no one dares to mess with it.
This is also the point that the Cao family fears the most.
"I have considered these too, so I contacted Deputy General Wang in advance, hoping that he can help." Cao Guan said.
The deputy general is a second-rank general who holds real power.
Moreover, in terms of official positions, he is half a level higher than Shangguan Hong.
"Will Vice General Wang help us?" Cao Biao was a little suspicious.
"Deputy General Wang's daughter was killed by Shangguan Lingcai. Although the murderer has been killed, the hatred will not disappear. This is the momentum we can take advantage of." Cao Guan explained.
"Third brother, if you really can invite Vice General Wang to come forward, then our Cao family will be saved!" Cao Jun showed hope.
"I will do my best to convince Deputy General Wang before the birthday party!" Cao Guan's tone was firm.
Only by taking advantage of the situation to suppress others can the Cao family overcome difficulties.
"Uncle San! With me here, why do you need to ask for someone?!"
At this time, a loud voice suddenly exploded in the conference hall.
Immediately afterwards, a burly man in an officer's uniform walked in with his head held high.
Behind him, two adjutants were followed.
"Yiming?!"
When everyone saw the man in uniform, they were surprised and happy, and were very surprised.
The one who walked into the door was Cao Biao's son, Cao Yiming!
Cao Yiming always follows the army to guard the border, and will only come back once during the Chinese New Year.
