Chapter 314 Playing tricks
The boy who led Miss Zheng was also one of her secret guards. The fox ordered his men to pretend to be.
As for Miss Zheng, Xia Zihan specially ordered Chu Lin to search the capital for three days before finding such a top-notch girl.
She specially prepared it for Cao Zian.
She can't take advantage of others.
Therefore, when Mrs. Cao put the blame on Cao Zian, Xia Zihan didn't say anything. In fact, she was eager to do so.
As for Cao Huajun who wants to covet her...
Humph, with today's incident, Cao Huajun's reputation has been ruined. Even if he is lucky enough to become an official in the future, today's incident will become a stain that he will never be able to erase for the rest of his life.
Of course, Xia Zihan would not tell Xia Shiming that she had been alert in advance and drugged Cao Zian and Cao Huajun.
She cried and complained that she panicked for a moment, knocked Cao Zian unconscious and ran away.
"When I arrived at Aunt Zhang's place, I changed my clothes and rested for a long time before going out. Unexpectedly... Wuwu, Dad, a girl Zheng came to see me, but her innocence was ruined by Cao Zian, Wuwu..."
"She did it for me. If I hadn't been skilled, I would have been the one whose innocence was ruined today. I didn't dare to tell anyone about this. Dad, I'll tell you that only one person knows, wuwu... …”
Xia Shiming's face turned gloomy when he heard this, and his veins popped out. He stood up quickly and said, "Yu Niang, don't worry, dad will help you."
"Oh, Dad, don't be impatient." Xia Zihan hurriedly pulled Xia Shiming, "If you go to tell the Cao family, wouldn't everyone know that I was almost killed by Cao Huajun..."
Xia Shiming was stunned.
Yes, if he goes out and says this, then everyone will know things that no one knows.
It’s not good for Yu Niang’s reputation.
But...
Xia Shiming's face was sinister, "But dad can't just watch you being bullied by the Cao family and just ignore it."
"Dad." Xia Zihan held his hand tightly, "In any case, the Cao family and the Xia family still have this kind of relationship, so I have nothing to lose. Dad, just pretend that this incident never happened. .”
Xia Shiming's expression was horrifying, and he snorted coldly, "When such a big thing happened, how could dad pretend that it never happened?"
Yu Niang is the treasure he holds in the palm of his hand.
The Cao family didn't have the foresight to dare to take advantage of his treasure. Hmph... Fortunately, it didn't work. Otherwise, wouldn't Yu Niang be ruined in the hands of that bastard Cao Huajun in her whole life?
His old mother-in-law had already verbally agreed to the marriage between the Chu family boy and Yu Niang. If something happened to Yu Niang in the Xia family, how would he explain to the Chu family when the Chu family boy came back?
The Chu family is so powerful that ten Xia families can't afford to offend them, right?
This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is, what will Yu Niang do with her life?
Xia Shiming was furious when he thought that a bastard like Cao Huajun dared to covet his precious daughter.
Xia Zihan comforted him, "My daughter told her father about this because she wanted him to see clearly the character of the Cao family. She was afraid that he would be taken advantage of by the Cao family."
"Dad, don't be too angry. Now I know the faces of the Cao family. I will be careful when I see them in the future."
Xia Shiming said angrily, "Then our Xia family can't afford such relatives. Today, my father asked the Cao family to move out. This can be regarded as a warning to the Cao family. Not everyone can do this for our Xia family's girls." Covet at will and calculate at will.”
"Yeah, that's fine." Xia Zihan nodded in agreement.
Mrs. Cao moved out, and Mr. Xu had no supporter.
"One more thing, I want to tell dad that Aunt Zhang is pregnant. Congratulations to dad. He will be a father soon. I will also have another younger brother and sister soon."
Xia Zihan said with a smile.
Xia Shiming's face brightened, then turned red, "Yu Niang, you don't blame dad, do you?"
"It depends on what Dad said. I am happy that I have many heirs. As long as Dad doesn't favor sons and daughters. Anyway, I like Aunt Zhang very much, and I will also like her children."
After Xia Shiming heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Xia Shiming's eyebrows were filled with joy at the thought of becoming a father again. However, when Xia Zihan said that he would take Aunt Zhang back to Chu's house, Xia Shiming was stunned. "What are you going to do there? The old lady is not in good health." Okay, how can I disturb his old man?”
"Oh, grandma doesn't have to do the waiting work. Aunt Zhang is gone, and the cook is just cooking a few more dishes every day, so she won't be tired."
"Besides, Aunt Zhang is pregnant, and she won't be able to take care of the family affairs in the future. I'm afraid my mother will have to take care of it. My father also knows what kind of person my mother is, and she also has my third sister..."
Xia Zihan paused, and when she saw Xia Shiming's face turned dark, she continued, "I was also worried that the child in Aunt Zhang's belly would be in danger, so I decided to take her back. If it weren't for my father's heir, Huh, I’m too lazy to take care of this.”
Xia Zihan tried hard to persuade her, but Xia Shiming finally agreed.
Xia Zihan was happy.
Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Xu, don’t you really want to take care of the house?
I want to see how you manage a huge mansion with no money to spend.
After eating, Xia Zihan took Aunt Zhang and her two personal maids back to Xia's house. Aunt Zhang went to pay her respects to Mrs. Zeng first.
Mrs. Zeng was still surprised, why did Aunt Zhang come to the Chu family?
Xia Zihan whispered a few words in her ear, and Mrs. Zeng nodded understandingly and said, "Since you are here with me, you can rest assured and take good care of the baby. It just so happens that her aunt from the Chu family is also raising her baby here." There are menus and recipes for making soup, and they are also ready-made.”
"Also, if you want to eat anything, just ask the maid to tell the cook. In my place, you are just like at home, feel free to do it, don't be restrained."
"Thank you, Madam, for showing mercy." Aunt Zhang was so moved that her eyes turned red and she wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Mrs. Zeng.
"Stop kneeling and take care of yourself," Zeng said.
She glanced at Hongmei, who quickly helped Aunt Zhang to sit on a chair aside.
"Speaking of which, I have to thank you." Mrs. Zeng suddenly said, "This house is deserted, but now that you are here, it is much more lively. My old lady is also happy."
Aunt Zhang was so moved that she pursed her lips and cried.
After Mrs. Zhuo heard that Xia Zihan was back, she walked in slowly with a big watermelon belly.
Xia Zihan jumped off the kang and personally helped her sit down on the chair and said, "Why is aunt here? Her belly is so big. You have to be careful when walking."
"Don't worry, the maids are all supporting you." Mrs. Zhuo waved her hand impatiently, "How about it, can the Xia family's new house be repaired and look good?"
"It's beautiful. There is a courtyard wall more than 200 meters away, which is covered with roses. When the flowers bloom, it will definitely be beautiful." Xia Zihan said.
"Do you like roses?" Then should she plant a wall of roses in Duke Anguo's mansion?
By the way, the courtyard wall of the Anguo Duke's residence is long and tall and covered with roses. It seems that it should be very spectacular, right?
As Zhuo thought about it, she also had the idea of planting roses.
"I like it. I like all flowers, especially osmanthus. When the stars come out in summer, it's so beautiful to lie under the osmanthus tree and smell the fragrance of the osmanthus and look at the stars."
There were several tall osmanthus trees in her yard, and a bamboo couch was placed under the trees for her to lie down and watch the stars in the summer.
However, beauty is beautiful, but unfortunately, mosquitoes are also quite beautiful when they suck blood.
Therefore, she would only watch it for a while at night and then go back to the house.
Mrs. Zhuo covered her mouth and laughed, and Xia Zihan asked her, "Aunt, why are you laughing?"
Zhuo told her, "No wonder Aqi planted five or six osmanthus trees in his yard last year."
Xia Zihan's pretty face instantly became famous.
Mrs. Zeng and Mrs. Zhuo looked at it, grinning and giggling happily.
The next day, Xiaokui came to Chu's house to deliver news.
"The master scolded his wife in the afternoon and personally invited Mrs. Cao to leave the Xia family. County Lord, you didn't see Mrs. Cao's face at that time. Oh my god, it was ugly."
Of course it's ugly. How shameless would it be for her to be kicked out of the Xia family by her father?
Xu will definitely not fall behind this time.
Sure enough, Xiaokui said again, "Aunt Zhang left, and the master handed over the housekeeping rights to Manager Han. My wife wanted to take charge of the house, but the master scolded me, saying that my wife failed to succeed and failed, so she was asked to take charge of the house. The Xia family's His reputation was ruined by her, and in the end, the master banned his wife.”
Then he talked about the Cao family, "It's time to leave. It's almost dark. I heard that we rented a small house temporarily."
"The Zheng family came this morning and were taken to Cao's house by the servant. I heard that Miss Zheng had a quarrel with Mrs. Cao when they were discussing marriage."
"For what purpose, do you know?" Xia Zihan asked with a gossipy face.
Xiaokui shook her head, "I don't know this. I heard what the boy who took the Zheng family to Cao's house said."
After Xiaokui left, Xia Zihan sat on the kang, sewing a blue robe.
But looking at her expression, she seemed a little distracted.
After a few stitches, Xia Zihan called out, "Fox, go to the Cao family and find out how the marriage with the Zheng family is going?"
"Master, Xiao Jiu just came back from the Cao family." The fox flashed out from the darkness, "They said that the Zheng family wanted a betrothal gift of one thousand taels of silver. Mrs. Cao said that Cao Zian was just a coachman. Where could he get the betrothal gift of one thousand taels of silver? , Miss Zheng said that Mrs. Cao was cheating on her marriage. Yesterday she said that Cao Zian was Mr. Cao’s nephew, and today she said that he was a coachman.”
"Mrs. Cao told the truth that she was just a distant nephew with no power or money. Miss Zheng made trouble at the Cao family, saying that the Cao family bullied her for being ignorant, which offended everyone in the neighborhood. Come out and watch the fun.”
"In the end, Mrs. Cao agreed to the Zheng family's request."
Of course I have to agree.
If she doesn't agree, given Miss Zheng's temperament, she will definitely make trouble endlessly.
At that time, not only will the Cao family be more embarrassed, but the marriages of several children of the Cao family may also be a little more difficult.
For a thousand taels of silver, no one would refuse to pay such a high price.
