Chapter 474: Dislike the Wrong Person
"How is that possible?"
Cao San was surprised and asked, "Do you think you took your belongings with you when you left home?"
But it only took a moment for the fake smile to return to its original state.
These noble ladies have had masks ingrained into their bones since childhood, and they manage their facial expressions very well.
Cao San advised: "You are no longer a member of the Cao family. Your family has shown mercy and will not let you return the treasures. You should spend them sparingly instead of showing off in a place like this."
"It's better to save it for your dowry, so you can find a poor man. Otherwise, if you spend it all, you'll end up homeless."
She seemed to remember something and covered her mouth and nose with the fan again, as if trying to make up for her own speech.
"Oh, I forgot, you were kicked out of the family, so no one would dare to marry you and risk offending the family, right?"
Madam Cao: “…”
She saw her own past in her sister, and now realizes that her past self really deserved a beating. She has grown up without being beaten to death, and she should thank the blessing of her family for that.
She took a deep breath, not wanting to get entangled any more. Waking up is not a matter of a few words, and it is more important to do what Mo Qingjun asked her to do.
Madam Cao turned around and said to the shopkeeper, "Don't waste time with people who have nothing to do with you. Let's go in and discuss it."
The shopkeeper smiled and led her into the inner courtyard.
Cao Sanjiao shouted, "Stop!"
As he said this, he rushed towards the inner courtyard. There was only one person guarding the gate, and he did not dare to hurt the lady from the Five Great Families, so he let her in.
Just as I was about to say something, a woman came in.
Madam Cao immediately bowed and said, "Greetings to Lord Mo Qing."
The two turned around, saw people, and saluted Bei Hua.
Madam Cao blushed and said, "It's all my fault. I didn't complete the task assigned by the county lord in time, and I troubled you to come here in person."
"It must have been a long wait."
Bei Hua glanced around meaningfully and said, "I can't blame you. You never expected rude people to cause trouble."
The two looked at the familiar interaction between the two in amazement. Everyone knew that Princess Mo Qing was a favorite under the Crown Prince. Even if the Eastern Palace had lost power, it was only compared to before.
To them, it is still an untouchable existence.
Cao San couldn't control his expression this time, and pointed at Madam Cao and stammered: "You... work for the Crown Prince?"
Madam Cao asked with a suspicious look, "Huh? Don't you know?"
After asking, she realized that Minister Cao must have felt embarrassed and wanted to hide the truth.
Just as it is shameful for a daughter to elope with her lover, it is also shameful for a daughter to elope with the prince.
He was afraid that his colleagues who disliked him would mock him: "Your daughter doesn't want you~~"
Just keep it a secret and delay it for as long as possible.
Understanding her father's desire to save face, Madam Cao rolled her eyes silently.
What's so precious about an old man's face? Didn't you see that even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lost his shame when faced with a big event? He is really picky.
Madam Cao didn’t know that there was a word called “stimulus push”, which was very suitable for her current situation.
Cao San was a little distraught about this situation. "It's impossible. Our family doesn't allow us to go out and show our faces. How could you..."
Madam Cao sneered: "So I left home. Is this hard to understand?"
Then he stopped looking at her and followed Bei Hua in.
This time with Bei Hua around, the two dared not cause trouble again.
Cao San tried hard to convince herself that she would marry into another wealthy family and become the mistress of the family. This was the day she had always dreamed of, like having a legitimate mother.
But......
Her heart was in turmoil.
Is something that was discarded like a worn-out shoe by her elder sister really a good thing?
Bei Huan and her partner decided to go back, but they ran into the annoying Bei Jingchu, and they just listened to Madam Cao chattering non-stop.
Bei Jingchu and her cousin looked at each other and sighed helplessly.
She felt like she was looking at a Qingche intern, a really energetic and silly roe deer.
Why do you tell everything that's on your mind to others? Aren't you afraid that she is a bad person?
Madam Cao felt a little embarrassed. The prince was obviously one year younger than her, but he was like an older sister.
But it didn't take long for her to convince herself that the prince was just a nobody! How could he be the same as her?
There is no need to worry about anything now.
"My sisters only have a small piece of sky in the back house, and they learn some unpresentable tricks from their aunt every day. I am sorry to make you laugh today."
"Fortunately, Your Highness took the lead, so I could see other ways out. Otherwise, I would be no different from them. After getting married, I would still have to fight with those lowly women and watch how they seduce men."
Madam Cao said with longing: "A hero like your Highness is a role model for women."
Bei Jingchu and Bei Hua were silent for a moment.
Bei Hua just felt uncomfortable and her face looked unhappy, but she couldn't say anything and could only straighten the corners of her mouth.
After a moment of stiffness, Bei Jingchu's face smiled again.
"Actually, I think you hate the wrong person."
Madam Cao had already noticed that the two men had strange expressions, but she didn't know where she was wrong.
Bei Jingchu did not scold her. As she grew from a child to an adult, her view of the world matured step by step. She was still an ignorant little girl.
