Chapter 389 You are guilty, I am guilty too
The Cao family was covered with dark clouds and a cold atmosphere.
The servants served carefully, fearing that the master above would be upset and punish them for any mistakes.
The old lady was ill.
Her eyes were hazy, she wore a headband, and she lay on the sickbed. She didn't want to eat, but asked someone to help her up.
She leaned on the mother-in-law and looked at the tall and strong Cao Bogong standing at the window.
"You are blaming grandma."
The man didn't say anything.
The old lady's eyes flickered.
In fact, she was also guilty.
After all, she allowed the people of the second house to include the eldest grandson in the plan so that the plan could be successful that day.
But what could she do?
This eldest grandson didn't want to do things, and no one could ask for help. He would never agree.
She could only act first and report later, and put drugs in his food. Only then did the good thing happen.
But the old lady Cao didn't expect Cao Bogong to react so strongly.
"Brother Qian, grandma is also worried about you."
She had white hair, and too many things had happened in the past few days, and her face was particularly haggard.
"Your mother passed away early, and your father remarried. Your stepmother was too thoughtful. But your father was bewitched by her and treated you badly."
She had tears in her eyes: "It was grandma who brought you up and brought you up."
"I know you have complaints in your heart. Your father was very biased when he was alive. If you were not capable, he would have given the title to your second brother, and you would have fallen into the hands of that evil woman! So grandma never said anything when you moved out to open another mansion."
"She stayed in the old house and didn't go with you. She knew that only I was a stabilizer, and you protected your stepmother and second brother for my sake. Grandma is selfish, but grandma admits it." "
It's also grandma's fault. The daughter-in-law she carefully selected for you, who knew she would be short-lived. You feel sad and don't want to remarry. As a result, you are lonely and have no one to love around you."
"But as long as I am still alive, the incense of the Cao family cannot be cut off! Your second brother is like that, how can grandma count on him? Otherwise, how can I meet the ancestors after a hundred years?"
Cao Bogong exhaled heavily. But his face was extremely ugly.
He was dusty and obviously rushed here in a hurry.
"Then grandma shouldn't let my second brother's first wife come with me..."
He couldn't continue.
"Grandson thought you were worried about that Shu family."
Old Madam Cao has always been an old-fashioned person. It's not uncommon for the co-family to have a family lineage from ancient times to the present.
She never thought there was anything wrong.
"I am worried about her."
Old Madam Cao: "She is filial and sensible. Since she married into the mansion, she has been taking care of me in every possible way. But that's why I have to plan for her."
"Don't you know who your stepmother is? I can't count the servants who have been carried out of her room and beaten to death over the years."
She never felt that she was wrong. She
even took the name of being good to Madam Cao.
"Shu suffered a lot under her nose. She couldn't give birth to a child, and your stepmother blamed her. Later, she found out that it was your second brother's problem. Your stepmother couldn't bear to take it out on her son, so she treated her less as a human being."
"She was honest and didn't dare to say anything, but your second brother was useless. He watched his wife being disciplined but couldn't protect her."
"There are many things I know, what about those I don't know?"
Without a child, she can't gain a foothold in her husband's family.
Old Lady Cao said with a firm tone: "But if she has a child, it will be different." "
The child is the incense of the Cao family. As long as the child is named after your second brother, your stepmother will be so happy that she won't dare to make trouble."
"The child is your flesh and blood, and you can be considered to have a successor."
"Shu and you are also half a couple, and she can be considered to have someone to rely on for the rest of her life."
Old Lady Cao became more and more righteous as she spoke: "Grandmother is doing this from the bottom of her heart for your own good and for the good of this family."
Uncle Cao sneered.
His eyes were sharp, looking straight at Madam Cao.
"Is it really so?"
"Didn't grandma do this on purpose to restrain me?"
Madam Cao was old and had one foot on the coffin.
Not to mention that just this time, whether Shu had a child or not.
Just because they were related, he was annoyed, but if Madam Cao passed away one day, he would not really ignore the second house. When
he woke up that day, his sister-in-law was no longer by his side.
But Uncle Cao remembered what happened when he was confused.
The Cao family knew Uncle Cao's temper. If he knew that Madam Cao was the same as him, he would make a scene.
He didn't know that his sister-in-law had been locked up by these people in the Cao family.
Uncle Cao thought she was shameless and knew about it, and followed him to calculate him. He was furious and felt that these people were shameless. He rushed out of the door and returned to Jiangnan.
He was originally in Jiangnan to take up his post, and he came back to celebrate the birthday of the old lady.
But before he arrived in Jiangnan, he learned that Shu had turned around and reported to the authorities. Knowing that something was fishy, she rushed back.
Being beaten by him, Mrs. Cao looked unhappy.
After all, the second grandson was not ambitious. If it weren't for Qian'er's protection...
How could she not know that Qian'er didn't stay in Beijing and insisted on going to Jiangnan to take up his post! It was obvious that he didn't want to have too much involvement with the second house.
"You!"
Her face turned pale with anger.
At this moment, someone was thrown in with his mouth gagged and tied up.
It was the second master of the Cao family.
Then Mrs. Cao ran in crying.
"Brother Qian, why did you tie up your brother? We are a family, are you crazy?"
Uncle Cao didn't look at her, but strode forward and grabbed the collar of the second master Cao.
"Asshole!"
"You don't want any shame, right!"
"If you only schemed against me, I would still look up to you, but I didn't expect that you would scheme against the person next to you!"
The second master Cao was so scared that his face turned pale and he couldn't breathe.
Cao Bogong let go and kicked him in the chest with disgust. He looked around and said,
"The whole Zhou family will be executed today. The Censorate should be free. They don't need to come to arrest and interrogate. I will take my second brother to confess his crime."
Madam Cao's eyes widened: "Are you crazy?"
"Now there is a big uproar outside, and the Cao family has completely lost face. You don't want to calm things down, but want to harm your own family?"
She knew that her stepson hated her, so she begged the old lady.
"Mother!"
"Mother, old ancestor, please persuade him."
Cao Bogong raised his hand, and soon someone came in from the beginning, holding a rope in his hand, and tied Madam Cao's hands.
"Stepmother, do you think you can escape?"
Cao Bogong ignored Madam Cao's abuse, took a deep breath, and knelt down in front of Madam Cao who was trying to stop him harshly.
"I have sent a letter of divorce to the Shu family in the name of the head of the Cao family."
"Grandma is confused, but you are old. Your crime, your grandson, will bear it for you because you raised me. I will never care about what happens to you or the Cao family in the future."
Mrs. Cao's face turned pale.
Is she going to draw a clear line with the Cao family?
She hurriedly said: "Brother Qian, you..."
Uncle Cao: "You are guilty, and I am guilty too. You must admit the verdict of the Censorate, and I will admit it too."
