She kicked the flower table with precious flowers and plants to the ground. Seeing her anger, the maids and women serving in the room immediately knelt on the ground and trembled, especially the middle-aged woman who came to report first.

The young woman, covered in pearls, asked angrily again: "Did mother really ask someone to give the things she gave me to the eldest princess?"

The middle-aged nanny whispered with a trembling voice, "The eldest lady has been served by an old slave since she was a child. How dare the old slave deceive the eldest lady! This matter is absolutely true!"

The young woman smashed the tea set on the table again, "Those are my birthday gifts! My mother promised to give them to me! I have sacrificed so much for the Cao family, and this is how they treat me?"

"Eldest lady, please calm down. The eldest princess must be a distinguished guest of the Cao family. Afterwards, Madam will definitely compensate the eldest lady." The middle-aged nanny advised.

"Compensate me? How to compensate me? Can they still let me become the Wolf King's concubine?" After saying that, he smashed other things in the room to pieces.

The Beidi Royal Court also has rules. Although the relationship between men and women is chaotic, as long as the royal family is orthodox, the prince's concubine must be a woman from the family, and the blood of the direct lineage cannot be confused.

The eldest daughter of the Cao family became the concubine of the Wolf King. Even if she was more ambitious and gave birth to boys, she was destined not to inherit the position of the Wolf King, let alone become the Great Khan of the Beidi Royal Court.

Not only that, if the mixed bloodline does not have the protection of the direct father and brother, its status will be worse than that of the side branches...

Just as the young woman was bursting with anger, a boy who looked different from others ran in quickly.

Realizing that his mother was angry, the boy, who was already violent, picked up the whip in his hand and whipped it at the maids and servants all over the floor.

For a time, the entire Fugui courtyard was filled with shouts for mercy.

Qin Shuhuang was sitting on the main seat on the women's side, chatting and drinking with the women of the Cao family. Suddenly, a nun with an ugly face ran out from behind the screen and whispered something in Mrs. Cao's ear.

After hearing this, Mrs. Cao had a strange look on her face. She whispered a few instructions to Grandma, and then she left with a solemn expression.

An hour later, the Cao family's reception banquet ended.

Qin Shuhuang declined the subsequent activities on the grounds that he needed to rest after traveling a lot, and was led back to the courtyard to rest by his maid.

Today's banquet was an eye-opener for Qin Shuhuang.

Not only was the flower hall where the banquet was held magnificent, and there were countless maids and servants waiting on it, but Qin Shuhuang was also surprised by the dishes on the table.

Cold dishes, hot dishes, pastries and tea are all abundant and exquisite, including rare game and seafood such as bear paws, deer tendons and sea fish.

After the meal, there were carefully choreographed dances and opera acrobatics.

If you didn't know this was Xiagong City on the border, you would have thought it was a feast for the wealthy families in the capital.

You know, the level difference between the Cao family and the Beijing aristocratic family is not even a little bit different.

After the banquet at the master's side was taken down, Shilan and the personal guards she brought were all entertained in the side hall. Although the food was not as good as the master's, it was still top-notch.

Shilan lamented, "There is such a big table of food, and most of it was wasted without even using the chopsticks." After the meal, a nun and the maids gave each of us a brocade box, saying it was a greeting gift from Mrs. Cao. "

After saying that, Shilan took out the slender brocade box from her sleeve and handed it to Qin Shuhuang.

Qin Shuhuang opened it and took a look.

Although it is a slender brocade box, it is divided into four small compartments, and there are actually four exquisite gifts inside.

A small five-tael silver ingot, a pair of silver beaded flowers, a piece of jasmine-flavored tea cake, and a box of fine rouge.

The four gifts in this brocade box cost no less than ten taels.

The Cao family gave it to every maid and attendant.

Qin Shuhuang closed the brocade box and handed it to Shilan, "Since everyone in the Cao family has given it, you can keep it."

Shilan nodded.

After all, we were at the Cao family. Looking at it for most of the day, the Cao family residence was not only rich and wealthy, but also guarded by many guards. Such a place was not suitable for a deep conversation with Xie Xuanye and Liu Renren.

As the night got darker, the master and servant rested.

In the main courtyard of Cao Mansion, a servant came to report to Cao Jian and Mrs. Cao, "The general, madam, eldest princess, Lord Liu, and the guards have all taken a rest."

Cao Jian nodded, "Send people to keep an eye on them. If they do anything strange, report them as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

The couple of the Cao family were about to take a rest when Mrs. Cao's personal nanny ran in anxiously, "Madam, it's not good. The eldest lady and her young cousin are kneeling at the door of the yard. No matter how hard the old slave persuades her, it's useless. It's cold in winter." , you can’t kneel down like this..."

When Mrs. Cao heard this, she had no intention of sleeping. The eldest daughter, Cao Miao, was her daughter and the only legitimate daughter of the Cao family. Since Cao Miao was born, Mrs. Cao loved her more than any of her sons. Not only did the general fail to give his daughter a good future, he also asked his daughter to be raised by the Wolf King.

From then on, Mrs. Cao felt even more indebted to her daughter.

Mrs. Cao was just about to get up and go to see her daughter outside the hospital, but she was pulled back by Cao Jian. Cao Jian said coldly: "You stay here, I'll go!"

Mrs. Cao couldn't resist her husband, so she could only send him to the door and looked at the courtyard gate worriedly.

Cao Miao knelt on the cobblestone path in front of the courtyard. After a while, her knees began to feel sore, but she remained motionless.The little boy of about seven years old kneeling behind her was also motionless, with his head hanging down.

Finally the footsteps came.

After a while, a pair of men's brocade boots fell in front of her eyes. Before Cao Miao could raise her head to look at the visitor, the next moment, there was a "pop" and burning pain hit her cheek!Cao Miao, who was kneeling upright, was also knocked off her body and fell to the side, her tentacles being cold and biting pebbles.

Cao Miao covered her face and looked up in disbelief at her father, who was standing condescendingly in front of her.

Angry and shocked, she screamed: "Why did you hit me!"

The seven-year-old child kneeling behind Cao Miao suddenly had a flash of evil in his eyes. He got up, bumped into Cao Jian's leg, and kicked Cao Jian hard.

Cao Jian looked down at the child who was kicking him, frowned, reached out and picked up the child and handed it to the old servant next to him, "Watch the boy!"

The old servant grabbed the child and restrained his hands and feet so that he could not move.

The child couldn't move and immediately began to curse Cao Jian. Beidi's words were mixed with Dawu words, which sounded nondescript.

Cao Jian became even angrier after hearing this and shouted coldly: "Lock him up!"

"Yes, General!"

The child is taken away.

Cao Jian stared at his daughter lying on the ground, "Get up and follow me to the study!"

Cao Miao knew that her father was really angry this time. She gritted her teeth and got up from the ground, followed Cao Jian step by step to the big study room in the front yard.

The study door was closed by his cronies, and only Cao Jian and Cao Miao, father and daughter, were left in the room.

As soon as Cao Jian sat down, he slammed the table and said angrily: "Have you forgotten what my father told you before?"

Cao Miao stirred the handkerchief in her hand, bit her lip, and replied after a moment: "I didn't forget..."

"Then what are you causing trouble tonight!"

Cao Miao hesitated and said: "Today, my mother gave my things to the eldest princess... It was my birthday gift! And my mother didn't let me attend the banquet in the evening!"

Cao Jian took a deep breath, suppressing the anger that threatened to erupt.

"Does your mother usually give you less? Her sisters-in-law combined don't give you more than you alone! This time it's a matter of urgency. Your mother's nanny has already explained it to you. We Among the female members of the Cao family, you are the only one with a similar figure to the eldest princess, so I gave the eldest princess the clothes I want to give you. If you like it, just ask your mother to send someone to make ten more for you!"

"That's not my birthday gift either..." Cao Miao muttered angrily.

"Miaomiao, you and Wenyang are the link between our Cao family and the Wolf King. If you really want to be the princess of Beidi, why bother about this! Take good care of Wenyang, so that our Cao family can continue to grow! The eldest princess is The key to our Cao family's plan this time is that no mistakes can be made! Likewise, nothing can happen to you mother and son. I will send someone to take you back to Beidi early tomorrow morning!"

Cao Miao was surprised, "Leaving so soon? I've only been back for a few days!"

"I could rely on you before, but not this time. Soon there will be chaos in Xiagong City. It will be too dangerous for you and Wenyang to stay here!"

No matter how much Cao Miao begged, Cao Jian refused to allow his daughter to stay for a few more days. Even though the Spring Festival was about to come, he did not waver and insisted on sending his daughter away.

Early the next morning, before dawn, a group of soldiers from the Cao family escorted a carriage from the back door of the Cao family.

It quickly disappeared into the night.

In the carriage, seven-year-old Wen Yang was still asleep, but Cao Miao's face was gloomy.

The maid next to her comforted her softly, "Miss, the general and his wife love you so much. There must be a reason for sending her away early this time. Please don't be angry."

Cao Miao clutched the handkerchief in her hand and said bitterly: "It's all the eldest princess. If it weren't for her! How could my parents not let me stay at home to celebrate the festival!"

The maid lowered her head and did not dare to say anything else.

At dawn, Qin Shuhuang opened his eyes.

Although the Cao family's bed was high and the pillows were soft, Qin Shuhuang couldn't sleep well for some reason.

As the night passed, I felt even more tired than yesterday.

After washing, Qin Shuhuang finally felt a little better.

A maid brought exquisite food, not only the special food of Xiagong City, but also the taste of the capital city.

With so much delicious food in front of him, Qin Shuhuang had no appetite. He only ate half a bowl of white porridge and ordered some pickles.

After breakfast, Cao Jian sent someone to invite her to the big study room in the front yard.

Qin Shuhuang raised the corner of his lips. It was only now that Cao Jian was willing to show off his cards. (End of chapter)
