Chapter 171 Exposure
Will the Cao family fall into decline from now on?
Will Empress Dowager Cao die?
Cao Xuan's sweat became more and more.
He looked at Jiang Zhenyuan, and his eyes revealed a little fear.
Why did Jiang Zhenyuan say this to him?
Aren't he afraid that he knew that the Li family had already colluded with him to tell his aunt?
Cao Xuan felt that he had found the right direction.
Others said that Jiang Zhenyuan was so kind, only his aunt, Empress Dowager Cao, had told him that Jiang Zhenyuan was tolerant and stingy, and was a very powerful person. He didn't take it seriously at the time, thinking that because his aunt was in power, the men in the court with high power were more or less prejudice. It was not until Jiang Zhenyuan calmly became Zhao Yi's pioneer and put his aunt in house arrest in Wanshou Mountain, and retreated back to his original position without any mercy, keeping his duty as a minister, as if he was at ease to continue to be the governor of the Five Army Governor's Office, but he was caught off guard and pushed to the forefront of the temple. Only then did he understand what his aunt had said before.
Be able to advance and retreat, be defend and attack, be able to endure and promote, know what you can do, know what you want... This is the real man.
Will such a person not expect what will happen once the relationship between the Li family and the Jiang family is exposed?
Obviously, he not only knew, but also didn't care.
This kind of strong confidence only reveals a little.
If he can help Zhao Yi put his aunt under house arrest, he can encourage Zhao Yi to kill his aunt.
If he could say such words in front of him, he would not be afraid that he would tell his aunt about this.
Cao Xuan really wanted to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
But he also felt that this behavior would make him look weak and incompetent in front of Jiang Zhenyuan.
He forced himself to do not reach out, and his thoughts returned to what Jiang Zhenyuan said to him just now.
Jiang Zhenyuan had already asked Jiang Lu and Wang Zan to rush to Shanxi. What is he going to do?
Bring Jiang Xian back?
Or do you want to kill Li Qian?
No, this is not the point of Jiang Zhenyuan telling him about this matter.
The point should be that Li Qian and Jiang Xian elope!
But how could Jiang Xian elope with Li Qian? She didn't even know Li Qian very much.
Isn’t Jiang Xian afraid that Li Qian will be detrimental to her?
No, this is not the point either.
The point is that with Jiang Zhenyuan's ability, he could have completely concealed it, kill Li Qian first, bring Jiang Xian back, and then make a case to let the Li family die in the temple dispute. Even if he knew it, there was no evidence, he could only doubt... Why did Jiang Zhenyuan tell himself? And it was when Jiang Xian had just eloped with Li Qian and no one in the Jiang family had yet to get all the stolen money...
Cao Xuan was shocked.
Bai Su!
Jiang Zhenyuan's purpose is Bai Su.
He told himself this not to warn himself, but because he was Bai Su's fiancé, Jiang Zhenyuan warned Bai Su through his fiancé.
Since Jiang Xian eloped with Li Qian, it can be seen that she believes in Li Qian.
How can two people who have no contact with me believe it?
Jiang Xian grew up with Bai Su since childhood and was together almost every night. Everyone knows that they are like sisters. There is a man next to Jiang Xian. Others may not know, but Bai Su must have known it.
Jiang Zhenyuan did not ask his wife Fang to ask Bai Su directly, but asked her fiancé to convey it, and had clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with Bai Su.
The marriage between Cao and Bai families turned out to be an alliance for the Cao and Jiang families.
If Bai Su loses the support of the Jiang family, what is the point of marriage between the Cao family and the Bai family?
With his aunt's nature, if she knew about this, she would call Bai Su to teach her a lesson very hard, and maybe she would find a way to quit the marriage.
Cao Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly and replied ill-intentionedly: "Bless Jiang Shi, don't worry. Baoning is a smart person, she will plan for herself." Then he said, "You know that I cannot be literary and martial, and I won't be martial. I won't follow them to drag them back when I go to Beiding Hou Mansion later. I think I'll go to Qinghui Township Jun to report a letter. She has been worried about the princess these days, but I'm afraid she hasn't had a good sleep."
Jiang Zhenyuan nodded with a smile, as if he was very pleased with his knowledge and sensibility.
It was of great importance, and Cao Xuan did not dare to stay for too long. After a few words of politeness to Jiang Zhenyuan, he stood up and said goodbye.
Jiang Zhenyuan did not keep him, so he called a servant to take him out.
Until Cao Xuan left the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, he did not meet a servant holding tea.
He couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Duke Zhenguo was a little stingy. He entered the mansion but didn't even take a sip of tea.
But he didn't know it in his heart that this was also one of Jiang Zhenyuan's warnings to him - if this matter is not handled well, he would not expect to visit the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion in the future.
Is that understandable that Bai Su and the Jiang family will have nothing to do with each other in the future?
Cao Xuan left the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and asked someone to go to the Beiding Hou Mansion, but he couldn't help but think about what had just happened.
It seems that the Li family is a chess piece that the Jiang family has long been laid in the Cao family.
However, how did the Jiang family and the Li family get along?
What is the function of this chess piece in the Li family?
Monitoring the Cao family? Taking control of the Cao family? Creating conflicts between his aunt and Zhao Yi, and the fisherman will benefit?
After Cao Xuansi came to think about it, he had no way to make a judgment and felt a little panic in his heart.
When scholars meet soldiers, it is hard to explain. Although those civil officials are important, they can only talk. When they encounter problems, they still have to rely on those soldiers who can fight and kill.
After the Wanshou Mountain Incident, their biggest reliance was the soldiers in the hands of the Li family. As a result, the Li family was a knife arranged by the Jiang family by them. In fact, they had nothing. His aunt even tried to use it as part of her jewelry and raised 500,000 taels of silver for the Li family to supplement military pay.
Do you want to tell your aunt?
What if the aunt can't stand the blow?
But what should I do if I don’t tell my aunt?
If the Jiang family really kills Li Qian, the aunt will definitely get the news and infer the truth. What should he say then?
Neither left nor right.
Cao Xuan arrived at the Beiding Marquis Mansion with a look of as if he was about to go.
The follower handed over a prayer letter, and the Beiding Hou's mansion guarded the gate and ran to report to Beiding Hou.
After a while, the east gate of the Marquis of Beiding opened. The son of Beiding Hou, also known as Bai Su's younger brother, Bai Xi, who was only ten years old, brought several staff members of Beiding Hou to welcome him.
After a wave of greetings, Cao Xuan was welcomed to the study room of Beiding Hou's outer courtyard.
The Marquis of Beiding wore a used brocade robe that was not old and met Cao Xuan in the study.
Cao Xuan proposed to meet Bai Su alone and said, "I just came from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."
The two families are not an ordinary marriage.
Beiding Hou wanted to ask "What happened", but he still restrained his curiosity and asked someone to tell Bai Su that he would take Cao Xuan to a flower hall not far from this.
Even unmarried couples are not too close before getting married. The flower hall is filled with fans, and there are several maids and mothers guarding the yard.
The late spring day shines warmly on the yard of Fusu, with flowers and flowers blooming.
But how long can this good situation last?
Cao Xuan felt the bleakness.
