Chapter 492 Cao Zeng apologizes
The flower blooms at both ends, each showing its own beauty.
The people sent by Zhu Mingqing to pick up Cao's mother arrived at Guancheng the next day, which made Cao Zeng's people one step late.
By the time Cao Zeng learned the news, his mother was already receiving treatment from Dr. Hua at the farm.
Cao Zeng called the prefect Wang and went to the farm angrily.
In the carriage, Magistrate Wang knew that this was not a fair thing to do.
Anyone would be angry if you took someone else's mother over without saying a word.
Oh, I don’t know why Mrs. Zhu was so rude this time.
Looking at General Cao's expression that looked like he wanted to kill the other person, he sighed in his heart.
"Cao..."
As soon as I said a word, I received a murderous look.
Magistrate Wang suddenly didn't dare to speak.
When the carriage arrived at the farm, General Cao jumped off the carriage and rushed into the farm.
But how could anyone enter and leave Zhu Mingqing's farm without an invitation?
There was a big argument at the door, and it was Manager Chao who discovered the whereabouts of Magistrate Wang. He quickly sent someone to report and then brought the person in.
Magistrate Wang immediately asked, "Where is Divine Doctor Hua?"
Manager Chao didn't dare to delay, especially since the burly man next to him looked so fierce.
The group turned a few corners, and even though they didn't pay attention to the scenery of the farm, they were still shocked by its well-organized layout.
But now is not the time to be curious about this.
Arriving at the destination, Cao Zeng rushed directly to the room but was stopped by Manager Chao.
"Divine Doctor Hua is treating patients, no one is allowed to disturb them!"
Cao Zeng's face turned pale instantly, and he immediately asked what had happened. However, Manager Chao only knew one side of the story and did not dare to say more, for fear of causing trouble for his master.
Cao Zeng could only stare at the room in front of him, worried.
Half an hour later, the door opened and Fen Tao came out first, followed by Zhu Mingqing, and finally Doctor Hua.
Cao Zeng immediately stepped forward to inquire about the situation and was relieved to learn that everything was fine.
But soon, anger gathered in his eyes.
"Madam Zhu, I hate it most when people use their family members to threaten me. What you did today really irritated me!"
"Why did you bring my mother to Guancheng? Who are you? Who gave you the power? Even if Divine Doctor Hua has done my mother a favor, you can't..."
"General!"
Several guards who came with Cao's mother happened to be carrying buckets of water. After putting them down, they shouted hurriedly.
When Cao Zeng saw them, he scolded them mercilessly again.
The guards knew that their actions were indeed wrong, so they did not argue and just lowered their heads in silence.
"Talk to me, why did you come here with a bunch of strangers?" Cao Zeng pointed at Zhu Mingqing with his peripheral vision.
Finally, one of the young guards explained the situation one by one.
It turned out that when Zhu Mingqing's men arrived at Cao's mother's residence, Cao's mother fell ill, coughing constantly and having difficulty breathing.
If someone didn't carry the magic medicine with them, I'm afraid—
After hearing this, Cao Zeng broke out in a cold sweat.
The guard finally said, "So, we followed that lady's people here."
Magistrate Wang suddenly understood.
I see.
If he continued to arrange things everywhere, I'm afraid Cao's mother would die before she even sees Doctor Hua.
Cao Zeng's fierce look as if he was looking for trouble just now turned into gratitude.
"This must be the great doctor Hua, right?" He bowed slightly and greeted him.
Old man Hua was impatient with these formalities, and what's more, he didn't like this boy who didn't know right from wrong.
He said directly: "If you want to thank someone, thank Zhu girl. If she hadn't begged me, I wouldn't bother to save someone who has nothing to do with me!"
Hearing this, Cao Zeng's face turned pale, and he knew that he had misunderstood the Luo family.
He took a deep breath and said, "Madam Zhu, I'm sorry. I was in a hurry and my words were impolite. I hope you can forgive me."
Zhu Mingqing raised an eyebrow, speaking meaningfully: "It is said that General Cao fought ten enemies alone and achieved great military success. But now it seems that he only looks at the surface and does not investigate the inner workings. This really makes me doubt your ability."
Cao Zeng blushed and wanted to explain himself, but he had indeed spoken without thinking.
After Old Man Hua left, the scene became quiet.
Cao Zeng took two steps forward and said, "I will always remember Madam Zhu's kindness. If I have the chance, I will repay her even at the cost of my own life. But my mother's health..."
Zhu Mingqing raised his hand to interrupt, a smile on his face: "That depends on General Cao's performance."
She made no secret of her intentions.
When this person came, he had an attitude that he would not give up.
Although the Luo family is short of people, they are not ungrateful if the other party refuses again and again.
However, even if we cannot take it for ourselves, we cannot let the enemy take advantage of it.
"The scenery of Guancheng is pleasant. General Cao might as well stay a few days to enjoy it. It just so happens that the old lady is not in good health and cannot travel any faster."
Cao Zeng felt as if he was being stared at by a pack of wolves in the dark night, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
This is to ban him!
It was two days later when Cao's mother woke up again.
For the past two days, Cao Zeng has been at the farm and has not left for a single moment.
But it was really boring to stay in the room all the time.
I had no choice but to wander around the farm, and the more I looked, the more frightened I became.
He knew what the conditions of the farmlands were like from the capital all the way north.
But this farm seems to be isolated from the outside world.
There is sufficient water, crops are growing well, the tenants are energetic every day, and so are the animals raised next door.
It can be said that if you live here for ten years, you will probably never have to worry about food and drink.
Even the royal farm could not do this, but here the people are living in prosperity and wealth.
Cao Zeng was standing at the edge of the field, looking at the endless farmland in the distance, and his mood became increasingly uneasy.
Why did the Luo family let him see this?
"Sir, the old lady is calling you."
His thoughts drifted back to the past, and Cao Zeng realized that his mother had woken up. He turned around and ran, losing his shoes.
The servant ran behind while picking up the shoes.
Cao Zeng pushed open the door panting and found his mother leaning against the head of the bed awake, his eyes suddenly red.
"Zeng'er, come here."
Mother Cao waved her hand, and every strand of her gray hair revealed kindness.
Cao Zeng sat down beside the bed and held his mother's thin fingers: "Are you feeling better?"
Mother Cao nodded: "I know everything. It was the Luo family who saved my life again."
Cao Zeng was puzzled: "Again?"
Cao's mother said: "Yes, when I was young, my family was attacked by bandits, and it was the Luo family army who came by and saved me. Now Madam Zhu has saved me too. It's a great favor."
"Why have I never heard you mention this?"
Cao's mother didn't want to say much: "Okay, mother is tired and wants to rest. You can go and handle official business for the next two days, and then come here to pick me up when you return to Beijing."
Cao's mother didn't know the purpose of her son's trip. She liked the quiet atmosphere of the farm, especially the lovely Mrs. Zhu. When she was dozing, she heard someone chatting with her. When she asked, she found out that Mrs. Zhu was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, so she came to stay for an hour every day.
Cao's mother felt that the Luo family were all good people and it was really unfair for them to be wronged like this.
So he planned to take this opportunity to talk to his son and ask if there was a chance to restore the Luo family's former glory.
But things eventually disappointed her.
The next day, when I opened the window to get some fresh air, I heard people whispering.
She was so anxious that she immediately sent someone to take a letter to her son, saying that the Luo family was her benefactor and she must not repay their kindness with hatred.
