(The second chapter will be about anti-theft, the update may be late, so you don’t have to wait!)
A sedan was carried into Uncle Tao Yang's mansion.
After passing the hanging flower gate, the sedan finally landed this time. Cao Yunhui, who was in a hurry, came to the sedan after receiving the warning.
After waving his servants away, Cao Yunhui personally stepped forward and opened the sedan curtain.
"Ma'am, how is it?"
Mrs. Liu got out of the sedan chair, looked to her left and right and said, "This is not the place to talk!"
Cao Yunhui slapped his forehead, but he was too anxious.
"Go in and talk!"
So the couple left the front yard and went directly to the study room in the inner house.
Withdrawing all the maids, Liu said under Cao Yunhui's expectant gaze, "The Emperor has not promised to pardon our family!"
"What? Auntie, she didn't plead for mercy?" Cao Yunhui couldn't believe it.
"The Queen Mother called the Emperor here, told the story about our family, and asked the Emperor to pardon our family, but the Emperor did not agree!"
"The Queen Mother made repeated requests, but the Emperor still refused to let go. Finally, the Queen Mother and the Emperor quarreled..."
Recalling the scene just now, Mrs. Liu looked horrified and said: "I was in the side hall at that time and heard the two supreme beings arguing. It almost scared me to death!"
After saying this, Ms. Liu glanced at her husband and saw Cao Yunhui's expression full of anger.
With a "pop" sound, Cao Yunhui slapped the table and said angrily: "He is too heartless!"
"At the beginning, if I hadn't brought the news to Longyou, would he have been able to enter the pass with cavalry? Could he have been able to stop the emperor?"
Hearing her husband's "treasonous" words, Mrs. Liu was frightened to death, rushed to Cao Yunhui and covered his mouth.
"You're crazy!" Mrs. Liu shouted angrily in a low voice.
"You want to kill your whole family?"
After struggling to push his wife away, Cao Yunhui looked fierce and took a few deep breaths, saying, "Don't he just want us to die? Then what should I be afraid of?"
"How much did our Cao family do for him to become emperor? How many people died? He actually doesn't care about old feelings at all. I can't say what he dares to do?"
Upon hearing this, Ms. Liu slapped Cao Yunhui directly, knocking Cao Yunhui unconscious on the spot.
In this era where the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Rules are ironclad laws, it is "highly treasonous" for a wife to beat her husband.
For the safety of the Cao family, Ms. Liu slapped her in desperation, and she was stunned after the slap.
"Husband, I deserve to die! I deserve to die!"
"you……"
Looking at his wife who was kneeling down to plead guilty, Cao Yunhui was so angry that he actually wanted to hit her, but his raised hand did not fall down after all.
Sitting down slumped, Cao Yunhui said helplessly: "Get up!"
The Cao family was exiled, and many members of the family died.
Cao Yunhui's mother died on the road to exile. Although Cao Jiasheng survived, it also left the root of his illness.
During this process, Mrs. Liu took great care of her. How could Cao Yunhui beat such a wife in need, and it was only for the sake of the Cao family.
"Even I miss my old love. Does it mean that when I become the emperor, I become a person whom I don't even recognize?"
"Both the Xue and Lin families could be pardoned, why couldn't the Cao family?"
Kneeling on the ground, Mrs. Liu climbed up and grabbed the hem of Cao Yunhui's clothes, crying: "Husband, stop talking!"
"If anyone hears it, there will be great disaster in my family!"
"If this case is strictly investigated and my family is deprived of the title, what's the difference between that and death?"
At this moment, a voice came from outside the house: "Uncle, I want you and the young lady to come over!"
Cao Yunhui was startled by the sudden presence of someone outside. Just now he said he was not afraid of the conversation getting out, but now he was worried.
Fortunately, the person who came was an old man at home, so he could feel at ease in front of him.
"I know, tell my dad and we'll go there right away!"
After the man retreated, Cao Yunhui rubbed his face and said with confusion: "My father is taking good care of himself, why are you calling us over at this juncture?"
Cao Jiasheng was in extremely poor health. Zhao Yanxun had used the system to diagnose and treat him before. Unfortunately, his organs had irreversible necrosis, and the quotation given by the system exceeded the exchange limit.
In other words, Cao Yunhui's illness could not be cured by Zhao Yanxun, so he could only "recuperate" at home.
Precisely because of his poor health, Cao Yunhui made all the decisions in the uncle's house, and Cao Jiasheng did not interfere in all matters.
Therefore, now that Cao Jiasheng suddenly called them over, things seemed unusual.
Liu thought briefly and replied, "Could it be that father heard something?"
“You’ll know when you go there!”
The discussion could not come to an outcome, so the two of them rushed directly to the small courtyard where Cao Jiasheng was recuperating without further delay.
As soon as you enter the courtyard gate, you can smell the strong smell of herbs, and the smell becomes stronger when you enter the house.
At this moment, Cao Jiasheng was sitting on a chair, covered with a brocade quilt, and there was a stove next to him.
Compared with before, Cao Jiasheng's face was pale and he was so thin that he looked more like a living dead than before.
"father!"
Cao Yunhui called out, causing Cao Jiasheng on the chair to open his eyes.
"Something happened at home?"
"No...no!"
"Sir, how long are you going to keep this secret from me?" Cao Jiasheng angrily yelled.
He was furious at this moment, and his chest was heaving up and down, as if he might not be able to breathe at any time.
"Dad, please calm down!"
Cao Jiasheng then scolded: "Hurry up and tell the truth!"
Cao Yunhui was really afraid of angering his father to death, so he told what happened at home.
"You traitor, how dare you disobey the national policy!"
"Dad, this has always been the case. Who knew the court would be more serious this year!" Cao Yunhui was extremely aggrieved.
Cao Jiasheng wanted to scold him, but he felt that this kind of thing was inevitable, so he swallowed his words.
"I heard that you let your daughter-in-law enter the palace?" When he said this, Cao Jiasheng glanced at Mrs. Liu.
"My son asked her to beg her aunt!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Cao Yunhui finished speaking, Cao Jiasheng yelled angrily: "You are confused!"
"Even if our Cao family is investigated for this kind of thing, we can still get away with it based on our previous achievements!"
"You went to beg your aunt, but you made the matter worse. Isn't this forcing the emperor to make a decision? The emperor can also be forced?"
After saying this long paragraph, Cao Jiasheng took several breaths in succession, but kept staring at his son.
At this moment, Cao Yunhui was indeed shocked. He did not consider the problem from this perspective at all.
After being silent for a while, Cao Yunhui said: "Father, you are right, the emperor did not accept threats, so he and his aunt quarreled and eventually broke up!"
Upon hearing that this was indeed the result, Cao Jiasheng sighed and looked much older.
"Dad knows that you want the Cao family to go further, that's why you act like this!"
Hearing that his father understood him, Cao Yunhui was immediately relieved. During this period of time, he had to rely on him alone to support him.
But then, Cao Jiasheng said: "Our family has encountered so many dangers and hardships, haven't you understood... safety and smoothness are the most important?"
"No title, no title, no glory, are all vain. I only hope that our family can live a stable life!"
Looking back on more than 20 years, Cao Yunhui has never had a peaceful life. He was forced by his sister to do all kinds of shady things, which made him fearful every day.
Although Cao Yunhui has experienced these things, it was Cao Yunhui who carried them all before, so his feelings are not deep.
"Dad, what do you mean, our family is going to be doomed? Don't forget, my aunt is still protecting us!"
Hearing this, Cao Jiasheng couldn't help but scolded: "Your aunt only wants to protect us? Then you should just think of her!"
Cao Yunhui knew his sister very well.
Cao Yunhui felt a pang in his heart when he was told something like this. Being treated like this by his father made him feel confused.
"Dad, please put it down. My son has given instructions on this matter. The people below will not talk nonsense. Our family is still safe!"
Slowly raising his head and looking towards the beam, Cao Jiasheng said helplessly: "The only one who can protect our family is the emperor!"
