Chapter 146 The Cai Family's Thoughts

,,,,,,,,,,,,

Xiangyang, the governor's office, Xiangyang's first doctor Zhang Jin was led into the guesthouse by a guard. Zhang Jin was about 40 years old and was a brother of the Zhang Ji clan of Nanyang's famous doctor. His father, Zhang Bozu, is also a famous doctor. He has a deep family. In addition, Zhang Jin has a long-term medical practice and has rich experience, which made him eventually known as the No. 1 doctor in Xiangyang and also served as the Xiangyang Medical Officer.

Zhang Jin walked into the living room with a deep thought. There was no one in the living room. There was a bamboo curtain hanging. There was a maid standing on both sides of the bamboo curtain. From the gap between the bamboo curtain, Mrs. Cai could be seen faintly.

Behind the bamboo curtain, Mrs. Cai was holding a teacup, and was worried. In the past few days, Liu Biao went to Nanjun to inspect and was not in Xiangyang. Liu Cong had been sent back to Xiangyang four days ago and was currently being treated in the traditional Chinese medicine department. Liu Cong's injury hit Mrs. Cai hard. She knew very well that her husband would never make a deposed man.

But she was never willing to give up. Until the last moment, she would never give up. More importantly, she could not tolerate Liu Qi as the lord of Jingzhou, and she had to find a way to save the unfavorable situation.

At this time, Zhang Jin knelt down and bowed, "Prince Zhang Jin, pay homage to the wife."

"Yi Zheng Zhang, how is Mr. Cong's injury?" Mrs. Cai asked in a faint tone.

"Report to my wife, Mr. Cong's life is not hindered, but his injuries are very serious, I'm afraid..."

"I'm afraid something," Mrs. Cai asked.

Zhang Jin sighed, "I'm afraid I can't have children anymore."

The living room suddenly became quiet, and the atmosphere became extremely solemn. Zhang Jin felt a little uneasy. After all, Liu Cong's injury was a little difficult to speak. Will she feel unhappy when she mentioned it in front of Mrs. Zhou Mu?

After a long time, Mrs. Cai said slowly: "You are the best famous doctor in Xiangyang. You should understand the reason why the patient is looking at the New Year. Now, if you just look at it in a hurry, can you be sure that he cannot have children? How can you accept this in the heart of the Palace Mu? Zhang Yizheng, you can't say the same thing like you."

Zhang Jin is the first doctor in Xiangyang and is knowledgeable. He knew at a glance that Liu Cong's injuries were broken. How could he have sex again, let alone having children? However, Zhang Jin also understood Mrs. Cai's meaning and was not allowed to say anything he said, leaving some hope.

Zhang Jinwei is smart and well versed in the officialdom. Since Mrs. Cai has reminded him like this, how could he not be tactful?

After pondering for a while, Zhang Jin said again: "Of course, there is no terminal illness in the world, and only the doctor is smart. After all, Mr. Cong was only kicked and not seen with blood. If he was carefully treated, he might be able to recover his vitality in a few years. The officials really cannot say anything."

Mrs. Cai nodded, Zhang Jin's attitude made her quite satisfied. She winked at the maid next to her. The maid came forward with a silver plate. There was a jade plaque in the plate. Mrs. Cai smiled faintly and said, "I will give you this jade plaque. I will use it to withdraw five taels of gold from the housekeeper of the Liu family."

Five taels of gold, Zhang Jin was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly, "Thank you for your reward, my wife."

Mrs. Cai smiled and said clearly, "I hope that when the provincial governor comes back, you must let the provincial governor understand that Mr. Cong's illness can be cured, but it just takes time. Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhang Jin sighed in his heart, why didn’t he understand what Mrs. Cai meant? The money had been accepted, so he had to do as Mrs. Cai said, “The lower officials will give the provincial governor a gratifying answer.”

"It's not a gratifying answer, but a positive answer"

Mrs. Cai's tone became stern, "Yi Zheng Zhang, I don't want to kill anyone, but if you can't handle this, you will never die."

The naked threat made Zhang Jin sweat on his forehead and felt a chill on his back. After a while, Zhang Jin whispered: "The official understands, I will leave first."

"Go," Mrs. Cai said coldly.

Zhang Jin stood up and said goodbye. Mrs. Cai pondered for a moment and immediately ordered: "Prepare the carriage, I want to go to Caili outside the city."

...........

Under the night sky, a carriage was driving towards Caili, west of the city under the protection of more than a dozen horse-riding guards. This was a large and grand carriage. Only from the dozen helmets and armored guards, the dignity of the carriage owner can be seen.

The owner of this carriage was Mrs. Cai. On the carriage window, Mrs. Cai's pale face appeared and disappeared from time to time, and her fair eyes were filled with worries and gloomy eyes. In just a short day, this was Mrs. Cai's first time going to her parents' home.

All this is for Liu Cong. She must convince her brother to continue to support Liu Cong. Since the news of Liu Cong reached the Cai family, Cai Mao's attitude towards Liu Cong had changed a little, and his daughter was not allowed to visit Liu Cong in the state palace.

Although it was just a clue change, Mrs. Cai realized that something was wrong. She was afraid that her elder brother had thought that Liu Cong had no chance of becoming an heir and was ready to give up on him. This could not be allowed. She had to persuade her elder brother to marry Shaoyu to Liu Cong according to the original plan.

Although she also knew that this was a bit unfair to Shaoyu, Mrs. Cai no longer cared about her children, and she only considered her own interests and family interests.

Yesterday and the day before yesterday, my brother Cai Mao refused to see her on the pretext of being sick. Mrs. Cai knew what her brother meant. Today she would not go to see her brother, but went directly to see her second uncle Cai Xun. She believed that her second uncle could convince her brother Cai Mao.

The carriage stopped in front of the old house of Cai's mansion. He, the wife of Cai Mao's brother Cai Huan, came out. They only exchanged a few greetings. Mrs. Cai didn't have much time, so He led Mrs. Cai to the back house directly.

.........

"Why would my wife want to come to see me today?" In the room, Cai Xun asked Mrs. Cai with a smile.

Mrs. Cai saluted respectfully, "The news is still blocked for the time being, but it is related to the rise and fall of the Cai family. The niece must get the support of the second uncle."

"What happened?" Cai Xun's smile disappeared and his eyes narrowed.

...........

Cai Mao was also quite worried these days. Cai Yi came back from Chaisang and brought him unacceptable news. Liu Cong was kicked seriously by Huang Yong. Chaisang's famous doctor diagnosed that the kidney pulse might have been broken, which means that Liu Cong lost the most critical thing about a man.

Cai Mao was both annoyed and upset. It was Liu Cong's fickleness. He obviously wanted to marry his daughter, but he had the idea of ​​the Tao family's daughter. He was jealous with Huang Yong, but was beaten seriously injured. Cai Mao also heard of Huang Yong. He was cruel and stupid, simple-minded, and never considered any consequences. Liu Cong was seriously injured for a woman and finally harmed his daughter. How could Cai Mao not be angry?

At the same time, he was also upset. Huang Yong's injury to Liu Cong would inevitably intensify the conflict between Liu Biao and Huang Zu, which put the Cai family in an embarrassing situation.

But this is not the most serious problem. The most serious problem is that the Cai family has put the family's future bet on Liu Cong. Now that Liu Cong has become a useless person, how could Liu Biao make him his heir again? In this way, how could the Cai family put their hopes on Liu Cong again?

Moreover, Cai Mao was unwilling to marry Liu Cong again. Wouldn't that hurt his daughter for the rest of her life?

Therefore, Mrs. Cai came to visit him twice, but Cai Mao refused. He knew that his sister was here to plead with Liu Cong. At this time, he did not want to have any relationship with Liu Cong. This was also to express his dissatisfaction with Liu Cong.

In the room, Cai Mao was listening to Cai Yi’s advice.

"Father, I have already agreed with Liu Cong. The situation was chaotic at that time and it was in the dark. He actually didn't see who the other party was. He couldn't be sure if it was Huang Yong's actions, and Mr. Cong had never met Huang Yong."

"But you have met Huang Yong, haven't you?" Cai Mao added thoughtfully.

"I've seen Huang Yong well, but that happened before the New Year. And it was night, and that Huang Yong didn't speak either. The child just felt that he looked a bit like Huang Yong, and he wasn't sure he was just that. Maybe he was pretending to be Huang Yong."

"What you mean is that the Tao family is looking for someone to pretend to be Huang Yong, and it is impossible to give the Tao family ten thousand courages, and they dare not hurt the provincial Muzhi..."

Speaking of this, Cai Mao suddenly understood what Er meant. He looked at Er in amazement, "You mean... Liu Jing."

Cai Yi nodded slowly, "Don't my father think this is a clever plan. Can he save Huang Yong from his crimes and deal with Liu Jing at the same time. It can be said that he kills two birds with one stone. My father thinks."

Cai Mao's eyes slowly lit up. He didn't expect that he would come up with this bold idea. Although it was ridiculous, it was reasonable.

Cai Mao also knew that Liu Jing liked the daughter of the Tao family, which could be explained by Liu Jing's secretly hated Liu Cong for proposal to the Tao family and ordered someone to pretend to be Huang Yong to hurt Liu Cong. There is no need to say it explicitly. As long as you guide a little, Liu Biao would naturally think there, that this was indeed a good opportunity to deal with Liu Jing.

At this moment, the housekeeper's report came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, the master of the hometown is here, and you have something to see you."

The hometown head is Cai Xun, the uncle of Cai Mao, the former head of the Cai family, and the actual power of the Cai family. Cai Mao hurriedly said: "I'll pick him up now."

Cai Xun didn't need to report, he came to the back house slowly. At this time, Cai Mao and his son Cai Yi rushed over. The father and the two knelt down to salute, "My nephew greets the second uncle."

Cai Xun waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, get up."

Cai Mao stood up, took his second uncle to his study, respectfully asked him to sit down, and then asked with tea. Then he asked with a smile: "Uncle Second is here so late, is there anything wrong? Actually, as long as you send a letter, your nephew will go to see his second uncle."

"I heard you're sick"

Cai Xun took a sip of tea calmly and glanced at him again, implying that you are not sick

Cai Mao's heart suddenly moved. He only told his sister that he was sick. How did the second uncle know? Could it be that his sister went to find his second uncle?

At this moment, Cai Mao suddenly realized that the second uncle must have come for Liu Cong's affairs.

However, he was about to discuss Liu Cong's affairs with his second uncle. It was of great importance. Cai Mao felt that he was unable to make up his mind. Perhaps his second uncle could give him a good idea.

Cai Mao also said openly and honestly: "Does the second uncle know about Mr. Cong?"

"I just found out that Mrs. Zhou Mu went to find me just now."

It turned out that my sister had found her second uncle. Cai Mao secretly hated her, bit her lips and asked, "Did the second uncle reach any consensus with her?"

Cai Xun shook his head, "I can only say that she came to me for the benefit of the family. I haven't reached any consensus? I want to ask you what you think."
