Chapter 597: Whispers in Cai’s Mansion

After coming out of Wenjing Pavilion, heading straight to Jingtai Palace, the Empress Dowager, and was still talking to the Empress Dowager, the King of Jin, Chen Ao quietly pulled Jingde over outside, and asked a few words in a low voice. Jingde smiled at him, "Your Majesty, don't be afraid, the Queen Mother's anger has disappeared, just go and ask for peace."

Chen Aocai was brave enough to ask Jingde to report. The Empress Dowager hesitated for a moment and didn't want to see him. Instead, the King of Jin said, "Mother, everyone is here, it's not good to block it back. It's better to meet him, so as not to say that the family is cold."

The queen mother frowned and said, "Tell him to come in."

Chen Ao went in and greeted her. Before the empress dowager could speak, the King of Jin smiled and said, "Come here, I'll give Chen Ao a seat."

Such enthusiasm made Chen Ao so flattered. Chen Ao owed to sit down, not knowing what to say, but just smiled awkwardly: "The Empress Dowager is also very bored in the palace. It is rare for the King of Jin to come and accompany him. The Empress Dowager will be in a good mood when she sees King of Jin."

The Empress Dowager was originally tense, but after Chen Ao said this, her face calmed down a little, but she still had a calm face but didn't say anything.

The King of Jin laughed and said, "Yes, yes, yes, my ministers must come to the palace more often and talk to my mother."

The Empress Dowager also gave Chen Ao a stairs and said with a stern face: "Chen Ao, do you know your guilt?"

Chen Ao has a good attitude of admitting his mistakes: "Knowing the crime, knowing the crime, and being punished for death."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Empress Dowager, since Chen Ao has learned of his crime, it's fine. After all, he is still young, what else can he do? It's rare that King Jin and Shen Ao have entered the palace, so why not play a few rounds of Que'er cards?"

The King of Jin clapped and cheered: "I haven't played the Queer card with my mother for a long time. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, let's call people to take the card."

The Empress Dowager had to say with a stern face: "It's rare that Zong'er will accompany you, just have a round."

He asked someone to take the card, each of them occupied a table foot. First, he caught the cards in an awkward atmosphere. Gradually, the empress dowager also became addicted. When Chen Ao made a mistake in a card, she happened to catch it. She smiled and said, "Why is Chen Ao so uninspired to play cards? Such a conspicuous card can make mistakes?"

Chen Ao said at a glance: "The criminals died."

The Queen Mother curled her lips and said, "What's the point of death? Playing Ye Zi cards is also a point of death? Play your cards well."

Chen Ao was revived: "Respect the imperial edict."

After that, the atmosphere became warm. Until dusk, Chen Ao and Zhao Zong left the palace together. Zhao Zong smiled and looked at Chen Ao from time to time. Chen Ao felt so angry that he couldn't help but speed up.

Zhao Zong caught up and said, "Let's go slowly, the palace gate has not been set so quickly."

Chen Ao had to slow down again, and Zhao Zongcai said: "Chen Ao, you are so brave. If it weren't for your seduction..."

Chen Ao immediately interrupted: "King of Jin, there are some things to say clearly. Ziheng and I are attracted by the opposite sex, and at most it is just an attraction. How can we seduce it?"

Zhao Zong had no choice but to say, "Even if it weren't for you, Zi Heng had already married into the Cai Mansion and would have nothing to do. If you don't take responsibility for the mess you left behind, I will never stop with you."

Chen Aohe nodded and said, "This is easy to say." He suddenly realized that he didn't seem to be completely unconfidence. Now he should not be asking for the King of Jin, but the King of Jin was asking for his own family. He had changed his mind and he also took on airs.

The two of them said as they walked, they had already made up their minds and forgot about the unhappy past.

A day ago, there were still lanterns and decorations on Cai’s mansion, the newly hung lacquer gold plaques, and the lanterns that extended to several doors at the door, red and green lanterns and red silks. In just one night, they disappeared, and the gatehouse was not seen at all.

When encountering this incident, it is said that the old man is already ill. This time, he is really sick. He summoned the doctor to come over and finally relieved some of his condition. As for the second master, he has been with the old man and occasionally goes to Cai Lun to check it out. Whenever he sees him, he knows that his face is ashen and full of anger. Last night, a family member accidentally smiled and was pulled into the main hall by him. He whipped it for more than 40 times. Until now, he still doesn't know whether he is dead or alive.

As for the young master, he was covered in bruises and was said to have broken one foot bone. It seemed that he could not handle it properly, and he would probably become a useless person. The entire Cai family went from joy to mourning everywhere, but it was just a blink of an eye, which made people sigh.

The elders in each room also had a bitter face, but some people who knew the inside story also knew that not everyone was frowning. For example, the fourth master in the fourth room had long been jealous of the second master. Young Master Cai Lun was only very knowledgeable. If he married a princess, he would not know if the fourth wife would have made a debut. Now that Cai Lun is like this, it would be too late for the fourth master to be happy!

No matter what, the old man was serving the old man with all his heart. Four or five wives took turns to greet him, and the sons didn't sleep all night. At the third update, they finally waited for the old man to sleep before everyone dared to come out for activities.

The masters of several rooms were all sitting in the hall waiting, and occasionally a cough came from the news. Cai You's branch was divided, and now Cai Tao was the one who was in charge. Cai Tao's face was the most serious, and he sat down for a while. In the past, he was bullied to this extent. The Cai family did not adapt to this change, and Cai Tao did not adapt to it either.

Cai Tao coughed, looked at the brothers, and slowly said, "If you should go and take a break, I'll watch it here."

The few people below shook their heads, their hearts were dark, and they even thought that Cai Tao wanted to please and act like a good person. When the old man got up, the first thing he saw was him. If he went to rest, God knew how others would arrange him. Chase from the fourth room smiled and said sincerely: "We are not tired either. Even if the second brother has to take care of the affairs of the ministry and the father, Cai Lun also has to worry about it, for fear that his second brother will not be able to bear it."

Cai Tao pursed his lips, looked at Chase in disgust, and did not respond to his words. After a while, he took a sip of tea, cheered up and said, "How come you have arrived in such a field?"

He sighed for a moment, but couldn't say anything.

A chief over there came over and whispered: "The old man is awake."

Everyone suddenly got up, headed towards the bedroom, rushing in, and then saw Cai Jing half lying on the couch, his whole face was loose, and a little maid was fed with ginseng soup. Hearing the movement outside, he glanced at everyone, breathed for a moment, shook his hand and said, "Let'er stay, the rest are waiting outside."

The other couples looked at each other, and Chase looked at Cai Tao jealously, and then he left obediently.

Cai Tao quickly walked to Cai Jing's couch and sat down, held Cai Jing's hand and said, "Father..."

Cai Jing's face gradually became colder, and he asked the maid to retreat, and then said, "Is someone from the palace?"

Cai Tao said: "I came here and gave me some pensions. When my son asked about this marriage, the father-in-law didn't say anything. When asked about Chen Ao, the father-in-law just sneered."

"You shouldn't ask this. You've known this for a long time. The Tian family has its own selfish intentions. If it becomes like this, the princess will not marry again. As for Chen Ao, you can't beat him up because of this. You are too careless and have been thinking about it for so many years, but you still haven't made any progress." After saying that, she sighed and said, "Where is Lun'er? How about Lun'er?"

Cai Tao said sadly: "I finally saved it, but my life was kept, but..."

Cai Jing looked expressionless and said, "Did you see clearly now? Our Cai family is over."

Cai Tao's face changed drastically and he said, "What do you mean?"

Cai Jing said helplessly: "The Cai family can have today because of their holy family and their kindness. Otherwise, I would not have fallen for twenty years and take charge of the three provinces, so many political enemies? Isn't it easy to be cut off by me?"

Then, Cai Jing sighed again and said, "I regret it. I had known that Shen Ao should have cut off him before he had not yet filled his wings. Who knew that a negligence had reached this point."

Cai Tao said: "My father is worried about your Majesty. Even if your Majesty is not good, he will not be disgusted with our Cai family."

Cai Jing shook his head and said, "If you don't understand, you don't understand, the disease comes like a mountain falling, and the disease goes like a thread to pull out. To get the holy family, you have to manage it step by step, and you can't make any mistakes. But once you have suspicion, it's not accurate to lose in the blink of an eye. Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, that's what it means."

He coughed and said, "I haven't had a few years of life until now, but what should you do? What should you do?"

I thought I could rely on Princess Qinghe to maintain the Cai family, but now it seems that I can't even think about it. Without this amulet, what will happen in the future is the first thing that Cai Jing thought of.

Cai Jing said dejectedly: "At this moment, there are only two ways. Either we should resign and go back to our hometown and no longer care about the matter here. If you want to be soft-hearted, you may be able to be safe and safe."

Cai Tao said: "My father is confused. If he doesn't say whether the Chen surname will be willing to let our Cai family go, just say how many people have we offended over the years? He has the wealth of the enemy country and has lost contact with Bianjing, who wouldn't be jealous? Chen Ao can stop, and no one will be willing to stop. I'm afraid that just a small prefect can destroy our family."

Cai Jing sighed and said, "What you said is not unreasonable... At this point, it is impossible to be a commoner. So this is the worst strategy. The best strategy is to fight with Chen Ao and fight for his life, and to see a clear understanding with him."

Cai Tao held Cai Jing's hand tightly and said, "So, my father has an idea?"

Cai Jing shook his head and said, "No matter how many ideas you have, it's useless. Now you can't beat him up. You can only wait, wait, and wait until the time comes..."

Cai Jing looked extremely tired and ordered: "Go and call your brothers."

Cai Tao nodded, went out for a while, and led several bedrooms in. Cai Jing first looked at Chase and said, "Fourth, go back to Fujian, go to your hometown, and take care of our village. You will also take the descendants of each house. I have a few disciples on the other side of Fujian Road. You can have a good relationship with them. Don't pay attention to the affairs of Bianjing City, don't worry about it, and live a peaceful life."

Chase was stunned and thought Cai Jing was going to expel him. He immediately knelt down and said, "Dad's body is so bad. How can my son go to Fujian at this critical moment? His son would rather stay in Fujian to accompany his father."

Cai Jing said in a deep voice: "If you recognize me as your father, just listen to me and ask you to go. Don't delay, leave early tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he said to his other son: "Lao Liu, you are the youngest and the least experienced. How many troubles have you made in Bianjing City? If it weren't for my brothers and I, who would have known what he would have been like? You can go with your fourth brother, and when you arrive on the other side of Fujian Road, stop making trouble."

Then, Cai Jing's eyes slowly closed and said, "I also want to remind the people in the mansion to be careful. When someone talks about the princess, whoever dares to say anything nonsense will be beaten to death immediately. Tao'er, why didn't you go to the tribe at this time?"

Cai Tao said: "How can my son go like this? I have already asked someone to take leave."

Cai Jing shook his head and said, "Don't take a leave, be calm. My old bones will not die for a while. You should go to the ministry to avoid suspicion."

Chase was angry and thought that Cai Tao had said bad things about him, so he was driven to his hometown on Fujian Road. He said in a muffled voice: "What's there to be suspicious? Who dares to suspicious?"

Cai Tao took out his brother's appearance and scolded him: "Second, what are you talking about? Let's follow my father's words."

Chase thought to himself, it’s just that you will please others and don’t agree with it in his heart.

Cai Jing shook his hand and said, "Go down and let me take care of myself. You are here, but it makes people feel uneasy."

Then, the brothers had to quit together.

The entire Cai Mansion was covered with a solemnity. That night, several officials instructed their servants to start ordering some property, and the lights were on in each room. Some people were upset and some were anxious. At this time, the night in Bianjing was already cold, and a layer of mist was shrouded in this big mansion. Occasionally, there were figures holding lanterns, and they all whispered: "The old man is most likely to take care of the matter behind him. It seems that our Cai family is really not going to do it."

Of course, these words can only be said privately, even the servants in the mansion said that the old man had not had a life of several days.
