The ex-husband doted on his concubine and killed his wife!The princess turned around and remarried t

"Wait and see, you are still secretly watching the Cao family and collecting evidence of collusion between the Cao family and the Beidi Wolf King."

"Yes, General!"

While several people were talking, an old servant of the Xu family hurried in. He took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Xu Zizhang, "Third Master, this is a letter for you."

Xu Zizhang frowned and glanced at it. When he saw the emblem printed on the lower right corner of the letter, he was startled. Then he quickly opened the envelope and took out the letter paper.

The lieutenant-general's cronies nearby saw that the originally solemn-looking general immediately relaxed after reading the letter, and curiously asked: "General, whose letter is it from?"

There was a smile on Xu Zizhang's lips, "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess."

Several people looked at each other and immediately became happy. Although they didn't know what was written in the letter, the fact that the eldest princess contacted the general privately at this time showed that the eldest princess still took the Xu family in her eyes and agreed with the general and the Xu family. .

In the Cao Mansion, Cao Jian changed into the royal attire for entertaining guests and sat in the main hall. The old servant next to him smiled and reported, "General, the news just came that the people in the Xu Mansion lost their temper and destroyed the entire flower hall. ”

Cao Jian, who was already in a good mood, laughed loudly when he heard the news, "Don't those who have no ability have to vent their anger on themselves?"

Cao Jian picked up the maid's freshly brewed cup and took a sip of it happily.

Mrs. Cao walked in quickly with a smile on her face, "General, Her Royal Highness the Princess is at the door! Let's go over and greet her!"

Cao Jian put down the tea cup, held his wife's hand, and headed to the front yard together.

Qin Shuhuang's motorcade was brought directly to the gate of Cao's house by Cao Zhiyuan.

At this time, the gate of the Cao family had been cleared long ago, and the entire Cao family was protected by three layers of soldiers inside and three layers outside.

On the surface, it looks like he is greeting the eldest princess, but in fact, he is guarding against the Xu family.

The carriage stopped, and Cao Zhiyuan jumped off his horse and went to the carriage in person to greet him, "Your Highness, we are here."

Shilan opened the carriage curtain, and then Shilan helped Qin Shuhuang get out of the carriage.

This time Qin Shuhuang didn't wear a curtain hat.

She was dressed in a smart riding attire, her eyebrows were elegant and dignified, and she looked more beautiful and luxurious than Cao Zhiyuan imagined.

When Qin Shuhuang got off the carriage, Cao Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment!

It wasn't until a sharp gaze pierced him awake that he came back to his senses. He looked up again and saw only the figure of the tall and straight guard standing behind Qin Shuhuang.

Qin Shuhuang and Liu Renren walked to the gate of Cao's house together.

Cao Jian, Mrs. Cao and the descendants of the Cao family were waiting at the gate to greet Qin Shuhuang.

The Cao family is just a border guard, but the lintel is more magnificent than the royal palace in Beijing.

Cao Jian and Mrs. Cao came together to greet Qin Shuhuang, "Old minister/concubine, I respectfully welcome Her Royal Highness the eldest princess."

Qin Shuhuang put on an appropriate smile and helped Mrs. Cao Jian Cao up with her own hands.

Mrs. Cao and her daughter-in-law and granddaughters accompanied Qin Shuhuang. After Cao Jian greeted Qin Shuhuang, he went to accompany Liu Renren.

Surrounded by the female relatives of the Cao family, they entered the Cao Mansion.

After entering Cao's Mansion, I found that the door of Cao's Mansion was not very good.

The decoration inside the mansion is even more exaggerated than what is shown on the front door.

In the harsh weather in the north, the Cao family was able to recreate the scenery of the capital's mansion. Although in winter, many buildings and plants in the mansion were covered with white snow, it did not affect the beautiful scenery.

It is no exaggeration to say that every step in the Cao Mansion is a scene.

Looking at the clothes of the Cao family's female relatives, it can be seen even more clearly.

Mrs. Cao is wearing a purple satin dress, and on her head is a very rare set of rubies. The ruby ​​on her forehead is bigger than her thumb, and it shines brightly.

Although the jewelry of the other daughters-in-law and daughters is not as good as Mrs. Cao, they are all high-quality emeralds and agate gemstones, and everyone is jeweled.

Qin Shuhuang, on the other hand, was dressed in a convenient women's riding outfit without any jewelry on her body.

Even so, the temperament of the female relatives of the Cao family cannot compare with Qin Shuhuang.

Only then did Mrs. Cao realize that their outfits were a bit out of place compared to Qin Shuhuang at this time.She immediately glared at her daughter-in-law and granddaughters beside her.

Then he smiled and said to Qin Shuhuang: "Your Highness, the eldest princess, has had a hard journey. Your Highness is very busy with travel. I will take Your Highness to the courtyard to rest for a while. Later, I will personally pick up Your Highness for a banquet to wash away the dust."

Qin Shuhuang smiled kindly and said, "Thank you, madam."

Mrs. Cao breathed a sigh of relief and escorted Qin Shuhuang carefully to the yard prepared for her.

The yard arranged for Qin Shuhuang is one of the best yards in the Cao family.

Mrs. Cao was very considerate. After delivering the person, she said goodbye and left.

Shilan supported Qin Shuhuang as he wandered around the room. Shilan was surprised when he saw it, "Your Highness, the Cao family is so rich! Everything on the ancient shelf is priceless."

There is also a huge greenhouse on the east side of this courtyard. In the greenhouse, instead of vegetables, various flowers are grown.

It's winter outside that can freeze people's fingers off, but inside the greenhouse it's as warm as spring, and flowers bloom all year round.

Wandering in the greenhouse is like being in spring.

You must know that this is the northern border. To maintain the temperature of such a large greenhouse, a large amount of firewood needs to be consumed!

One day's consumption of this greenhouse is enough to consume a month's worth of firewood for a border army battalion.

Even the palace does not have such a large greenhouse, let alone the greenhouses that grow not crops, but flowers that are of no use and can only be admired.

Relying on the black market and being so rich, no wonder the Cao family took this opportunity to find Qin Shuhuang.

As soon as the master and servant took a look around the room, grandma brought someone to see them.

The nun in silk and satin was followed by a dozen maids in pink clothes.

Mammy said flatteringly: "Old slave, I would like to pay my respects to Her Highness the Eldest Princess. These are prepared by my wife for Her Highness the Eldest Princess. I would also like to ask Your Highness the Eldest Princess to take a look at them."

Madam Cao seemed to know about Qin Shuhuang's "embarrassment", so she had someone send her fine clothes and jewelry, which were no worse in quality than those worn by Madam Cao.

Judging from the color of the clothes and the style of the jewelry, they are all for Qin Shuhuang's age.

Qin Shuhuang really didn't have any clothes or jewelry suitable for the banquet, so he nodded and accepted them.

The Cao family's money is easy to come by, and if you don't take it, you won't get it for free.

The grandma who brought the things was relieved when she saw that Qin Shuhuang accepted them happily, asked the maids to put the things down, and immediately left.

After Mammy left, Shilan asked curiously: "Your Highness, did the Cao family guess that you would come and prepare clothes and jewelry in advance?"

Qin Shuhuang shook his head, "I'm afraid, there may be a reason for this."

No matter what, the conditions of the Cao family are very good.

The conditions were better than anywhere else Qin Shuhuang came to, even better than the conditions in the capital.

The Cao Mansion uses fire walls instead of charcoal basins for heating.

Burning a fire wall requires a lot of firewood, which is very expensive. In order to save money, the late emperor even banned the fire wall in the palace. It was rarely used by officials in the capital, but he did not expect to see it again in Xia Gong City.

In fact, it is not impossible to use a fire wall in Xiagong City. After all, Xiagong City is much colder than the capital city.

It's just that the entire Cao Mansion, as long as the courtyard where the master lives, is burning with fire walls, this is too much.

Not only is the side room a clean room, but the ear room is as warm as spring.

After a short rest, Qin Shuhuang washed up under Shi Lan's service, and ate some exquisite snacks sent by the servants of the Cao family.

Then she put on luxurious clothes and jewelry.

After she finished packing, Mrs. Cao personally came to invite Qin Shuhuang to the flower hall for a banquet.

But in another luxurious courtyard of the Cao family, a young woman was furious. (End of chapter)
