Chapter 45: Thank you
Since the examiner has not arrived yet, Ma Mingfeng's purpose of this trip has only been achieved, so he can only go home and wait for news. Yang Wencong also accompanied him home because he needed to teach Ma Mingfeng.
But when I first arrived at the door of my house, I saw Xiaosi Chunwang say, "Mr. Aunt, you are back, someone is looking for you."
"Looking for us? Who is looking for us?" Ma Mingfeng asked strangely.
"It's the second master of the Cao family in Xizhuang. He said he was here to come to thank him. He was talking to his wife and aunt in the living room." Chunwang replied quickly.
"Come to thank me?" Ma Mingfeng's face was full of suspicion. He felt that Cao Zhongheng's purpose must be more than this, but there must be other purposes.
But at this time, I couldn't say anything anymore, so I could only deal with it. Ma Mingfeng and Yang Wencong looked at each other, and then went to the living room together.
When Ma Mingfeng came outside the living room, he heard someone talking loudly inside, and only heard the man say something about outstanding talent and good character. The moment he stepped into the living room, he saw Cao Zhongheng's exaggerated voice saying, "I was still praising him just now, isn't this coming? This is really Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here haha."
Then Cao Zhongheng stood up and bowed to Yang Wencong and said, "Brother Longyou, you think you're sorry. He kept saying that he had time to visit you, but he had been waiting until today."
Before Yang Wencong could say anything, Cao Zhongheng said to Ma Mingfeng again: "Nephew, I am looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally I have been looking forward to you. Since the last time I parted, I have been looking forward to seeing you again. Today I finally achieved my wish. Hehe, I heard that you happened to save my niece Lingyue a few days ago? Fortunately, I have you, otherwise my niece might have been finished now. I am pitiful that I am only twenty-eight years old.
, You can't just send his father away a few years ago, and now you have to send a white-haired man to a black-haired man. Also, my old man loves Lingyue the most. If Lingyue really has something to do, he can't stand this blow. And Lingyue's mother, you don't know that you have saved three generations of our Cao family. Your affection for our Cao family will never be rewarded even if you make a fortune in your life..."
Cao Zhongheng was crying when he said this, and he was grateful to Ma Mingfeng, and he treated him as a living Bodhisattva who saved the suffering.
But then Cao Zhongheng changed his mind and said to Li: "Second Madam, do you know how he saved my miserable niece at the beginning?"
Then, without waiting for Li's answer, Cao Zhongheng said to himself: "My niece suddenly fainted and she didn't wake up even if she pinched her. At the critical moment, the nephew jumped out. The gentleman reached out to Lingyue's neck with his hand, then placed her flat on the ground, then pressed Lingyue's chest with his hand, pressed her back and forth hard, and occasionally blew his mouth into Lingyue's mouth... What I said is right?"
When Ma Mingfeng heard this, he knew that things were going to break. Cao Zhongheng looked at the door and thanked him, but in fact he was looking for trouble.
But the incident at that time was in full view of everyone, and even if I didn’t admit it, Ma Mingfeng nodded and said, “It’s true that there is something going on. I’m also in a hurry to save people. You may not know that this is an extremely effective first aid method that has been passed on from overseas…”
"Haha, don't rush to prove your innocence. I don't have that intention. You can save Lingyue in an emergency. I have only gratitude in my heart, nothing else. But you know that nowadays, etiquette is greater than heaven. Even if I don't care, Lingyue doesn't care, but other people watching care. Once the incident happened yesterday, Lingyue's second half of her life would be over. No man dares to marry her. Even the face of our Cao family was lost. I am not complaining. Can you think of a remedy to preserve Lingyue's reputation and let her go out to see people in the future?"
Cao Zhongheng had a look of a treacherous plan on his face, and it was obvious that these had already been planned.
Li frowned when he saw this scene and thought to himself: "It turns out that I have always heard that Cao Lao Er is honest, but I didn't expect that he was so cunning. This matter has reached this point. What other ways can there be for him to remedy? I probably have nothing else to marry his niece, but his niece is sick, especially because she has heartache. Maybe she will disappear at any time. If we don't say that we are sad, the Cao family will ask us for someone."
Thinking of this, Li said to Cao Zhongheng: "Mr. Cao, I know what you mean, but let's open the skylight and say something bright. I'll ask you a risky question, what is your niece's condition? You have to tell me about it, right?"
When Cao Zhongheng heard this, he quickly said with a serious expression: "Second Madam, I can't hide this matter. Lingyue's condition has stabilized. Mr. Li, the most famous doctor in Guizhou, has developed a miraculous heart-saving pill based on the advice of his nephew. This medicine is particularly magical. Even if someone is in a coma due to heartache, he can wake up immediately as long as he takes Sanwu pills. In fact, this is also to prevent Lingyue from committing another recurrence in the future. Mr. Li has already given medicine for treatment. It only takes three months at most. Lingyue's heartache will be completely cured. It is precisely because of this that I dare to come to see the second wife and Brother Longyou. Please decide for Lingyue to decide a remedy."
As soon as Ma Mingfeng heard this, he knew that Cao Zhongheng was relying on him. Although he knew that he was kind, he had Xiang Jun in his heart and could not tolerate a second woman anymore, but Cao Lingyue's innocence was indeed a problem.
But Ma Mingfeng knew that some problems should be explained directly. When the failure continues to cause chaos, it is directly explained that the other party gives up. There is always a solution to this matter in the end. It is much better than being vague and giving the other party a word of hope.
So Ma Mingfeng said directly: "Mr. Cao, I know what you meant today. First of all, I thank you for your kindness. I am really grateful to you, but please forgive me. I can't agree. This is not that I am ruthless. It is because I have already made a vow with another woman. I have a heart of my heart and can no longer tolerate other people. I borrow a poem from the ancients and wish I could not meet and not marry. Therefore, today I am destined to disappoint the adults. I am sorry, in order to cope with the imperial examination, I have to review my homework. Please forgive me."
After saying that, Ma Mingfeng bowed and prepared to leave.
However, Cao Zhongheng didn't want Ma Mingfeng to leave at all. He stepped forward, grabbed his arm, and said to him: "Nephew, you can't be so ruthless. If this matter cannot be resolved, my niece will really not be able to live in the future. Although you saved her, you also harmed her. How could I watch her depressed and live in this life... Stop talking nonsense. If you don't agree today, don't think about leaving!"
In the end, Cao Zhongheng was already stern and refused to let go no matter what.
Ma Mingfeng tried hard to get rid of it, but Cao Zhongheng was a martial artist and had hundreds of pounds of strength. Grasping Ma Mingfeng's arm was like an iron plier. Ma Mingfeng could not get rid of it with all his strength.
At this moment, Li said, "Mr. Cao Er, don't be impulsive. We don't have room for discussion on this matter. To be honest, the girl who was in love with Luan'er has not been really engaged because of some kind of change. I had already asked my dragon friend to ask her about her feelings in the first few days. If she disagreed, Luan'er would give up. At that time, I believe Luan'er will definitely accept Miss Cao. Can you wait for a while?"
Cao Zhongheng said, "How can this happen? What if that girl agrees? Wouldn't we wait in vain? Humph, although your Ma family is powerful, our Cao family is not afraid of you. Your son ruins my niece's innocence. At worst, we will go to see the official. If we are forced, I will go to sue the emperor. I don't believe that there will be no king's rule over him in the Ming Dynasty!"
Seeing this, Li quickly persuaded, "Master Cao, don't be anxious first. Let me tell you, there are some things you don't understand what is going on, but I can guarantee that more than 90% of the girl may refuse. The reason why I urged someone to ask was just to ask Luan'er to give up. As long as I get the rejected letter, I will contact you immediately. I'm going to make up for Lingyue's daughter-in-law."
"Are you true?" Cao Zhongheng asked Li with a full face of suspicion: "If that girl really refused, her nephew would definitely agree to the matter with Lingyue?"
Li said flatly: "I can make the decision on this matter. If I really refuse, Luan'er will definitely agree to the matter with Lingyue, otherwise I will not let him step into the house! Luan'er, you will also express your opinion to your second uncle."
Ma Mingfeng believed that Li Xiangjun would never refuse his affairs, but he had no choice but to express his opinion first to deal with it.
