The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 239 General Cao Takes Action

"Master, why did you come back so early today?"

The old housekeeper asked in surprise when he saw General Cao returning home at this time.

"Oh, there's not much to do in the camp today, so I came back early. Butler, please order someone to make a bowl of bird's nest, and then make some dishes that Madam likes!"

"Yes, I obey my orders!"

The old butler took the order and left.

After General Cao handed the horse to his servant, he returned to his own courtyard, ordered someone to bring him water, washed himself, and changed into comfortable clothes.

After finishing all these, he sat in the pavilion in the yard, drinking tea and staring at the yard where Cao Fangqing lived before she got married.

Although Cao Qiu has not yet found out what Fang Qing did on Sunset Mountain that day, he is now certain that his daughter was involved in the plan to kill Fang Ruo.

How was he going to deal with her? This was his daughter, the one he had raised with love and care!

Fangruo has been kind, sensible and obedient since childhood, and never snatches things from Fangqing. Why would Fangqing be so cruel as to harm her sister?

He couldn't figure it out no matter what.

"Master, the food is ready. Shall we have it delivered now?"

The old butler entered the yard at this time and came to General Cao and asked.

Did he see it wrong just now? Why did he see sadness on the old general's face?

Just as the old butler was wondering, he heard General Cao ordering people to serve the dishes. He hurriedly bowed and accepted the order, and personally led people to place the dishes on the table in the house.

General Cao walked slowly into the room, sat down in the main seat, and told the old housekeeper, "Go and personally invite the lady to dinner!"

After seeing the old housekeeper leave after taking the order, he asked the servants in the house to wait outside, then he took out the porcelain bottle from his arms, stared at the bowl of bird's nest for a while, then poured some of the contents of the bottle into the bird's nest and stirred it with a spoon.

After doing all this, he pretended nothing had happened and sat there drinking tea!

"Master, how come you have time to come back for dinner today?"

General Cao had been eating in the military camp these days, so when the old housekeeper went to invite Zhao Ting'er, she was happy and confused.

"I'm almost done with the camp stuff, so I thought I'd come back to spend some time with you!"

General Cao looked at Zhao Ting'er and said with a smile.

After saying that, he stood up and pulled Zhao Ting'er to sit next to him, handed the bowl of bird's nest to her, and said in a gentle voice: "Madam, I asked someone to make the bird's nest that you like. You should eat some quickly to replenish your body!" Zhao Ting'er was flattered to see that General Cao cared about her so much. He had never treated her like this before. She happily took the bird's nest and began to eat it spoonful by spoonful.

In a short while, the bowl of bird's nest was finished.

When General Cao saw this, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and he picked up the chopsticks to pick up other dishes for her. Zhao Ting'er was very happy and quickly stood up to help General Cao serve the dishes. After the couple finished their meal happily, General Cao returned to the barracks.

Zhao Ting'er, with a smile on her face, took Zhao Ma and others back to her own yard.

"Madam, I haven't seen you so happy for a long time!"

Aunt Zhao poured a cup of hot tea for Zhao Ting'er, handed it to her, and said with a smile on her face.

"The master has never treated me like this before. How can I not be happy?"

Zhao Ting'er took a sip of tea, the smile on her face still lingering.

"You have been so devoted to the old general over the years that you can warm up even a piece of stone. Looking at the situation today, the old general has taken you to heart!"

Hearing what Madam Zhao said, Zhao Ting'er became even happier, and her heart felt as sweet as if she had eaten candy.

"Oh, by the way, Madam Zhao, please find two pieces of good fabric so I can make a set of clothes for the master. I see that the master's clothes look a little worn today!"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhao joked, "Madam, didn't you make that dress for the master a while ago? How come it's old now?"

Although she said that, she still smiled and patted Zhao Ting'er who was looking at her with annoyance, and went to look for material.

For the next period of time, no matter how busy General Cao was in the army, he would always take time to return home and have meals with Zhao Ting'er.

Zhao Ting'er's body became thinner and thinner, so General Cao had people prepare various supplements every day and watched Zhao Ting'er eat them.

"Madam, you've taken so many supplements, but why are you still losing weight? You should find a doctor to see you!"

That day, Nanny Zhao saw that Zhao Ting'er's clothes had become loose again, and she looked at Zhao Ting'er with a worried look on her face and said.

Before Zhao Ting'er could say anything, General Cao came in from outside. He walked up to Zhao Ting'er, took her hand and said, "Madam Zhao is right. Madam has lost a lot of weight recently. It's better to see a doctor. I don't trust the doctors outside. Madam, wait a moment. I will ask the imperial physician to treat you!"

After saying this, he ordered his men to take good care of Zhao Ting'er and then hurried outside.

When Zhao Ting'er heard General Cao say this, she asked Nanny Zhao to change her clothes and waited obediently for the imperial physician to come and see her.

"Doctor, remember this: my wife is becoming increasingly thinner because of her spleen and stomach problems and overwork!"

On the way to the general's mansion, General Cao whispered to the imperial physician.

The doctor's eyes sparkled, and he looked at General Cao and said with a smile, "General, rest assured. I've made a note of this!"
