The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 241 General Cao apologizes to the Prime Minister's Office

General Cao suddenly hugged Zhao Yan'er's tombstone and burst into tears, repeating: "Yan'er, it must be you who are back, it must be you who are back! Do you know how much your husband missed you?"

The seven-foot-tall man who once fought bravely on the battlefield was now crying like a child.

It's true that men don't shed tears easily, but they do until they are heartbroken!

General Cao sat in front of the tombstones of Zhao Yan'er and Cao Fangruo for a full hour. When he left the cemetery and returned to the carriage, he regained his former majestic appearance.

The old butler who was waiting in front of the carriage saw his master coming back and quickly opened the curtain for him.

"Butler, quietly send me to the Prime Minister's Mansion. When you go back, tell people to guard the General's Mansion. Do not let any strangers into the mansion without my order, even if it is the Madam's order! Also, when the Madam goes out in the future, she must be accompanied by my trusted followers. If the Madam asks, tell her that my enemies have appeared in the capital. I am afraid that she will be in danger!"

After General Cao gave his instructions to the butler, he got into the carriage.

Zhao Ting'er, I won't give you the chance to contact that group of people again. You'd better behave yourself in the next period of time and don't do anything weird, otherwise I will send you to death early!

After receiving the order, the old butler drove his carriage to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"My Lord, General Cao outside the palace wants to see you!"

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, the old Prime Minister was discussing the matter of the "eminent monk" with Leng Linglong and Zhao Junhuan, mother and son, when he heard a servant come to report that General Cao had arrived.

"What is he here for?"

The old prime minister raised his eyebrows, very surprised.

"Dad, let him in and we'll know. I'll hide behind the screen first!"

After Leng Linglong finished speaking, she hid behind the screen. They had announced to the public that she was weak and bedridden, and they couldn't let the secret show.

Zhao Junhuan also quickly ran to a seat nearby and sat down.

The old prime minister sat upright in the main seat, stroked his beard and ordered: "Please let him in!"

"Meet the old prime minister!"

General Cao asked the old housekeeper to return to the general's mansion. He went into the prime minister's mansion alone. After placing several boxes of supplements on the table, he saluted respectfully to the old prime minister.

"Please sit down. Why did you come here with so many valuable gifts?"

The old prime minister glanced at the brocade boxes on the table and asked with a puzzled look.

"I came here today to apologize for Zhao Ting'er!"

General Cao did not sit down, but bowed deeply to the old prime minister.

The old prime minister exchanged glances with Zhao Junhuan, who then stepped forward to help General Cao up and said with a smile, "General, if you have anything to say, please get up and speak!"

After seeing him get up, the old prime minister asked, "What do you mean by this? What did Zhao Ting'er do to offend the prime minister's mansion that she wants you to apologize for her?"

Zhao Junhuan on the side also looked at General Cao with a puzzled look.

"The person who assassinated Madam Zhao and poisoned her a few days ago was sent by Zhao Ting'er!"

"What did you say? The person who poisoned me was Zhao Ting'er!!"

Before the old prime minister and Zhao Junhuan could say anything, Leng Linglong rushed out from behind the screen. She grabbed General Cao by the collar, her eyes wide open!

"Mrs. Zhao, are you okay?"

General Cao was stunned when he saw the lively Leng Linglong. Didn't they say that she was too weak to get up? What was going on now?

When the old prime minister and Zhao Junhuan saw Leng Linglong rushing out, they slapped their foreheads speechlessly! The movements were so synchronized, they were indeed grandfather and grandson!

Why is she so impatient?

Hearing this, Leng Linglong let go of General Cao's hand, glanced at her father-in-law and son, touched her nose, and then grabbed General Cao's collar and asked, "Are you disappointed that I'm fine? Tell the truth, what's going on?"

General Cao pointed at Leng Linglong's hand and said, "Madam Zhao, I'm relieved to see that you are fine. Please let me go first. I came here today to tell you what Zhao Ting'er did!"

Upon hearing this, Leng Linglong let go of General Cao. She clapped her hands, sat next to Zhao Junhuan, and stared at General Cao with a serious face.

General Cao then told the three of them in detail about the group of people he had found out had contact with Zhao Ting'er.

After listening to this, the old prime minister stroked his beard and remained silent.

After listening to General Cao's words, Leng Linglong stared at him and asked, "Zhao Ting'er is the general's wife. Why would the general monitor his wife for an outsider like me?"

"I already know about Zhao Ting'er and Fang Qing harming Fang Ruo. To be honest, I initially wanted to investigate Fang Ruo's fall from the cliff, so I had people monitor Zhao Ting'er. Who would have thought that I would accidentally discover that it was she who sent people to assassinate Madam Zhao a few days ago!"

After hearing what General Cao said, the old prime minister spoke.

"Since you already know that Fang Ruo was killed by your current wife and daughter, what are you going to do next? You came to my house today not just to apologize to Linglong, right?"

"Old Prime Minister is wise. I have given Zhao Ting'er a secret medicine. She will die silently from organ failure. Outsiders will not be able to see any clues. As for Fang Qing..."

At this point, he paused.

Leng Linglong sneered and said, "She died without a sound. Humph, do you think that my Prime Minister's Mansion will allow her to take the evil things she did back then to the underworld without anyone knowing about it? That's wishful thinking. We will make what happened back then public and let people see her true face!"

General Cao saw that Leng Linglong had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "Madam Zhao, I will let her live on until the day she is cursed by others, and I will not cover up her crimes! If I didn't want to make this matter public, when I found the soldier who reported the news two days ago, I would have asked my subordinates to kill him instead of sending him back to the capital quietly!"

"General Cao, were the people who tried to snatch our people a few days ago yours?"

Zhao Junhuan asked in surprise.

No wonder his people came to report that those people seemed to be willing to give in!

"Yes, he is my man. After I knew that the Prime Minister's Office was also investigating what happened back then, I transferred him back. Our goals are the same. He is in my hands as well as in yours!"

General Cao said sincerely.
