Everyone couldn't help but be stunned. Such a domineering and barbaric man was so respectful to Xia Yunxian!
Moreover, as soon as Vice General Cao entered the door, he did not salute Mrs. Liu first. He obviously listened to what Jiang Ruyan said just now, which made her look ugly but she did not dare to get angry.
"My sister is not clear about the matters in the palace. Vice Admiral Cao should not take it seriously. If there is a misunderstanding, please forgive her this time."
"As for your original work, let the distant relative you met not long ago take over. The lieutenant general is getting old. From now on, you will go to the garden to take care of the flowers and plants. The monthly schedule will still be as before!"
Xia Yunxian's words immediately made Mrs. Liu's heart hurt. She opened her mouth to object, but when she saw Deputy General Cao's sturdy figure, she backed away.
None of the bricks, tiles, and wood used in the previous repair work was oily or water-free? The host knew that it was unavoidable, so he turned a blind eye and naturally left it to those close to him.
And all kinds of precious flowers and precious trees are planted in the Hou Mansion, and there are even more fertilizer ways to maintain them!
Mrs. Liu originally thought that now that Deputy General Cao was old and useless, she would replace him with one of her own, but now she lost her wife and lost her troops!
Vice General Cao's expression moved slightly. He did not expect that Xia Yunxian actually knew that a long-lost relative had come to join him.
Since the loss of his son, he has been confused every day. Suddenly a relative with a blood connection appears, and he feels somewhat relieved. It would be nice to have a few more words together!
But he didn't want to cause trouble to the Hou Mansion, so he set up a small house outside to take care of it for the time being. Now that Xia Yunxian proposed it himself, it can be seen that she was thinking about him from the bottom of her heart!
"The Crown Princess has been so kind and kind, and Cao will repay it by being a bull and a horse in the next life!"
I saw him cupping his fists with both hands and saluting Xia Yunxian sincerely.
This is not only a job, but also respect for him, a useless person!
Since the old Marquis left, the human touch in the Marquis's residence has become increasingly dull. Only the Crown Princess still clearly remembers his dedication and sacrifice to the Liu family!
He was also majestic on the battlefield. Today, that memory has faded away, but the glory and pride in his heart cannot be erased!
This scene made Jiang Ruyan on the ground take a breath of relief in her heart.
Pooh! Something, as if Xia Yunxian saved his life!
Why did she feel aggrieved every time she came to the Hou Mansion? Even an old and immortal servant dared to bully her!
"Come here, drag this bitch out!" Suddenly, an excited voice sounded at the door, "Xia Yunxian, I have said that as long as you dare to take a step out of Luoxueyuan, I will break your legs!"
Liu Chengyu rushed in with several servants holding sticks. When he saw that there were no royal guards in the room, he immediately laughed proudly!
Mrs. Liu stood up in fright, and it was too late to stop her.
I saw one of the servants step forward to beat him with a stick, but he was grabbed by Deputy General Cao, "Stop!"
Liu Chengyu frowned and looked at the rough old man with white hair displeased. Why do people always come to ruin his good deeds?
With a glance, the servants immediately changed their targets and surrounded Deputy General Cao. Xia Yunxian's expression changed and he immediately stopped him, "Your Majesty, you must not do it!"
"No? Who is he to you?"
When Liu Chengyu saw that Xia Yunxian was no longer able to protect himself and was still protecting others, an inexplicable annoyance surged into his heart, making him almost lose his mind.
Unexpectedly, there were several wailings in succession. Before the servants could react, they were knocked to the ground by the experienced deputy general Cao!
Snapped!
The crisp slap made everyone in the room fall silent. Liu Chengyu stared in disbelief, feeling the rough palm falling on his noble face, and endless murderous intent burst out from his eyes.
"Looking for death! You..."
"The prince doesn't recognize me?!"
Lieutenant General Cao's sharp gaze and familiar voice shocked him. After a long time, he replied hoarsely, "Master Cao?"
"Oh, it turns out that the prince still remembers that Cao is your master!"
Feeling the anger of Vice General Cao, Liu Chengyu still had the arrogance he had just now. You must know that his kung fu was taught by Vice General Cao. Even if he changed his master later, he would never forget those difficult but fulfilling days.
Lieutenant General Cao's eyes were filled with disappointment. Liu Chengyu pursed his lips stiffly and quietly followed him out of the room.
"Hmph, look at you, the Yun Xian Zhang family has never had anything like this happen for many years. You have only been in charge of it for a few days, and you have made our Marquis Mansion so restless!"
Mrs. Liu felt that she had nowhere to vent her anger, and immediately pointed at Jiang Ruyan and cursed.
The woman on the ground was even more aggrieved. She was clearly being used as a weapon by the old lady, but she couldn't say a word!
Xia Yunxian noticed the cautious look in Mrs. Liu's eyes, as if she was waiting for her to add insult to injury. As soon as she opened her mouth, she would take advantage of the situation to get Jiang Ruyan's control of the family back.
But she remained unmoved until Deputy General Cao returned, "Prince Concubine, Cao will send you back!"
…
The sun fell on the staggering steps of the old man beside him. His breathing was heavy and vicissitudes of life. It was not until he reached a deserted courtyard that Lieutenant General Cao let out a long sigh.
"Cao is well aware of today's drama. The old lady can't tolerate a veteran like me, but I... have feelings for the Hou Mansion!"
He looked around, the evil aura that had filled his body was gone, and his eyes were slightly moist.
"There are traces of the old marquis and I playing with guns and swords everywhere here. I tried my best to repair everything as it was back then, but things have changed and people have changed. I know you are suffering, Princess Royal Princess!"
He turned to look at Xia Yunxian guiltily, "Cao has seen how the Crown Princess came here all these years. Speaking of which, I am also an accomplice and failed to do anything for the Crown Princess."
Vice General Cao was about to kneel down, but Xia Yunxian stopped him hastily, "Vice General Cao, don't be too polite! You are about the same age as my father and the old Marquis. They are both great heroes on the battlefield. Yunxian respects you!"
She was moved in her heart, but the Hou Mansion that he worked so hard to repair was being destroyed by her step by step...
"What about the prince?"
Unexpectedly, Vice General Cao suddenly asked, "If the prince repented, could you still accept him?"
At the corner, Liu Chengyu stood stiff and pressed against the cold wall, his heart beating like a drum.
"The eldest son is so confused! If the eldest concubine wanted to frame the Hou Mansion for injustice, she could have allowed Jiang Ruyan to fire me. She was just afraid that the eldest son would bear the infamy in the future, so she kept me alive!"
"If you don't love and protect the daughter-in-law whom the old Marquis chose from thousands of people back then, and torture her like this, are you still an upright man?"
"Cao knew what you were thinking with just one glance from the Crown Prince in the past, and it is the same now. Crown Prince, you like the Crown Princess, but this is not okay!"
Vice General Cao's words lingered in his ears for a long time. Liu Chengyu gritted his teeth. Did he like Xia Yunxian?
What a joke, how is that possible!
But why is he so nervous now? Damn Xia Yunxian...he still hasn't answered after so long?
