Cheng Wanwan came forward with a smile on his face.
Only then did Cao Defu notice a very familiar figure in the yard.
In the morning, they separated on the pier in Hekou County, and now they met again. It was really a great fate.
He was about to say hello.
Mrs. Cao was the first to speak: "I have met Sui Ruren."
Cao Defu's eyes suddenly widened: "Sui, Sui Ruren??"
As soon as he returned to Hekou County, he heard from many people that the Holy Master had personally consecrated a ninth-grade Ruren, and his subordinates also told him that his daughter Yingying lived in the Suiren family.
He never expected that the woman he met in Nanyang City was actually the famous Sui Ruren!
Sui Ruren not only helped him get rid of the batch of Luosha, but also took in his daughter. She was a great benefactor to the Cao family!
"It turns out it's Sui Ruren!" Cao Defu approached him with an attentive look, "I heard that Yingying lived here for more than a month. Sui Ruren saved Yingying and is the benefactor of our family. If you have any requests, just ask. As long as This is something that I, Cao Defu, can do, and I will definitely help to do it..."
Cheng Wanwan's face looked a little indifferent: "Boss Cao, let's find out about Yingying first."
"Yes, yes, yes, of course we have to find out." Cao Defu said, "I brought that maid. It was she who falsely spread the news and misled Yingying, so that Yingying escaped from home and suffered so much torture. ...Someone, drag her out!"
Two servants dragged out a person from a carriage at the back. It was Hongyu who had been beaten up and was in a state of utter disarray.
Cheng Wanwan smiled: "As far as I know, this maid is now the maid in Madam Cao's yard. After the eldest lady was forced to leave home, the eldest lady's personal maid actually went to serve in Madam Cao's room. This matter , Boss Cao doesn’t think there’s any problem?”
Cao Defu's eyes narrowed and he stared at Qi: "Tell me, are you hiding something from me?"
Mrs. Cao had a mouthful of blood in her throat.
As soon as the master came back, he slapped her hard. She tried her best to explain and prove her innocence, and the master finally believed her.
But now, with just a few words from this Sui Ruren, the master began to question her again.
Sui Ruren has a grudge against her, right?
Mrs. Cao took a deep breath and prepared to explain again.
at this time.
Cao Yingying walked out of the room. She held a red thing in her hand and handed it to Cao Defu.
Qi's eyelids jumped, how could this thing look so familiar?
She suddenly remembered that this was the marriage certificate sent by the matchmaker more than a month ago. On the marriage certificate were the names of the old man of the Dou family and Cao Yingying.
She hid the marriage certificate in the drawer, how could it fall into Cao Yingying's hands?
Thinking of this, Ms. Qi suddenly remembered that one afternoon not long ago, there was a thief in her yard, and a gold hairpin was stolen from her dressing box. Because she didn't like the gold hairpin very much, she didn't take it back. Now that I think about it, stealing the gold hairpin is fake, but stealing the marriage certificate is real.
In just such a short moment, countless thoughts appeared in Qi's mind.
Cao Defu had already opened the marriage contract. He read the ten lines at a glance and was instantly furious: "Misunderstanding? Is this the misunderstanding you are talking about? What a Qi family! You may appear gentle and generous on the surface, but in reality you are vicious! You want to marry my daughter to a five-year-old man?" An old man who is more than ten years old, let a fifty-year-old old man call me father-in-law, what kind of peace of mind are you having!"
He slammed the marriage certificate into Qi's face.
"Master, I really don't know about this!" Mrs. Qi's knees softened and she knelt on the ground, crying heartbrokenly. "When I first married into the Cao family, Yingying was not even taller than my waist. I really treated her like a daughter. It hurts, how could I marry her to a bad old man! I swear to God, if I really do this, I will be struck to death by lightning!"
The sky is clear and there is no thunder.
Cao Defu was doubtful.
Cheng Wanwan took a quiet sip of tea. This Qi family was really a great person. In ancient times when superstition was common, he even dared to swear such a poisonous oath.
Qi is scheming, while Cao Defu is simple-minded. He has been deceived so many times over the years.
She said quietly: "Two dogs and three oxen, bring the people out."
Zhao Ergou and Zhao Sanniu were already ready, and they dragged Zhao Fugui, who was tied up, out of the house.
Cheng Wanwan looked at Zhao Fugui with a smile on his lips: "If you are the instigator of today's incident, the government will sentence you to seven years. If you are instigated by others, then you can only be regarded as an accomplice. You may be out in one year. The Cao family We are all here, if you have any grievances, just speak up, I am a ninth-grade child after all, and I can make the decision for you."
After she finished speaking, she pulled out the rag from Zhao Fugui's mouth.
After Zhao Fugui was tied up and thrown into the pig pen, he understood that if he dared to talk nonsense again, Zhao Cheng would definitely have a hundred ways to make him suffer.
He confessed honestly: "Someone wants me to attack the eldest lady of the Cao family. As long as I successfully taint Miss Cao's innocence, I will be made the son-in-law of the Cao family. He also said that even if Mr. Cao does not recognize me as his son-in-law, He will also give me five hundred taels of silver so that I can live a happy life... Give me ten courages and I won’t dare to attack Miss Cao. It’s this person who keeps encouraging me, saying that Miss Cao is not favored, and that Cao Cao is not favored. The master is a fool, I did such an unjust thing in a moment of obsession, please help me, Sui Ruren..."
"What are you saying that I don't pamper my daughter and that I'm a fool?" Cao Defu got angry and kicked her over, "Tell me, who ordered you!"
Zhao Fugui looked at the Cao family over there and said tremblingly: "A man in his thirties, with mung bean eyes, a garlic nose, a goatee, wearing silk and satin... I don't know who he is."
Cao Yingying pursed her lips: "It should be Butler Cao."
"No matter how powerful Butler Cao is, he is just a servant. It is impossible for a servant to do this kind of thing on his own initiative." Cheng Wanwan twitched the corner of her lips, "The only people who can order the steward are Boss Cao and Mrs. Cao. Well, it’s impossible for Boss Cao to do this to his own daughter, so the only thing left is..."
Mrs. Qi hugged Cao Defu's thigh: "Master, I am really unjust. If I did such a thing, I would be devastated! I also have a daughter. I ruined Yingying's reputation, my two How does a girl get married? Yes, it is Butler Cao, he is good at making decisions! Didn’t the master want Yingying to learn from the steward before? If Yingying joins the steward, she will take over steward Qin’s affairs. He will definitely I don’t want my power to be taken away by the eldest lady, so I did such a dirty thing! Please be aware of everything and give me a clean slate!"
The fat on Cao Defu's face trembled with anger, and he kicked Mrs. Qi away: "Steward Cao, I will check, and I will check you, too. Come on, bring Mrs. Qi into the carriage! And this Zhao Fugui, Take it away too!”
Two servants came over, one on the left and the other on the right, dragging the crying Qi family into the carriage. Zhao Fugui was also gagged and thrown into the carriage.
Cao Defu looked at Cheng Wanwan and sighed: "I am not strict in running the family, and the people of Suiru are laughing again."
"Yingying had a home and couldn't go back during this period, and she suffered a lot." Cheng Wanwan touched Cao Yingying's hair, "The child was plotted against in her own home, and was betrayed by the most trusted maid. The grandson of the Cao family Miss, life is more difficult than that of villagers like us, it’s time for Mr. Cao to give his children some snacks."
"What Sui Ru said is true." Cao Defu nodded in agreement, "My little girl has been harassing Sui Ru at her home for many days. Cao Defu has no repayment, so he brought some gold and silver, hoping to accept it."
He clapped his hands, and two young men took out three boxes and cages from the carriage.
The first box cage is made of porcelain and other objects with exquisite patterns.
The second cage is made of silk and satin of various colors.
The third cage contains dozens of large silver ingots and some jades.
