Chapter 218 Madam, what are you looking for?
"Ah! This unfilial son is really causing trouble for me. Today, the old prime minister even questioned me whether I had done anything to offend Zhu'er, otherwise how could he ask to leave the clan and set up his own business!"
General Cao sighed and frowned.
"Master, please relax. No matter what others say, we have not owed Zhu'er anything in these years, nor have we done anything to let him down. When he comes back, we will ask him carefully to find out why he acted like this!"
As Zhao Ting'er spoke, she stood up and served food to General Cao.
"Forget it, I'll send someone to ask now. It's better to find out the truth as soon as possible!"
After General Cao finished speaking, he stood up and pretended to arrange for someone to handle this matter.
Zhao Ting'er was extremely anxious when she saw this. She hurriedly stopped General Cao and said in a hurry, "Master, you can't send anyone!"
Seeing General Cao looking at her with a puzzled look on his face, she helped him sit down and advised him gently, "Master, have you forgotten what I told you before? What if the people you sent had an argument with Zhu'er, affecting his mood and distracting him on the battlefield, and what if he was in danger? Let's wait a little longer, wait for Zhu'er to return victorious, and then our family can sit together and have a good talk. Zhu'er has always been filial and loyal, and there might be some misunderstanding here!"
"If there is a misunderstanding, I will have to send someone over. Wouldn't it be better to resolve the misunderstanding as soon as possible?"
Seeing General Cao say this, Zhao Ting'er's heart tightened. She stroked General Cao's chest with one hand and pulled his arm with the other, and said anxiously, "Oh, Master, if you send someone and really resolve the misunderstanding, that would be great, but what if it makes Zhu'er even angrier? Wouldn't that be bad?"
Seeing General Cao's thoughtful look, she continued, "Anyway, I have already sent Sister Yan'er's dowry to Zhu'er's house. Zhu'er hasn't made any other moves, and most people in the capital have forgotten about it. In this case, let's just wait and see. We can talk about everything after the war is over and Zhu'er comes back. When you and your son meet, everything will be easy to discuss!"
After Zhao Ting'er finished speaking, she looked at General Cao with an uneasy face. When General Cao looked at her, she put on an understanding expression, as if she was considering everything for them father and son.
General Cao sighed and said deliberately: "Well, you are right, but I don't know how long this war will last. I can't just wait like this. I will wait for half a year. If Zhu'er hasn't come back in half a year, I will go there in person and ask this unfilial son what he wants to do and why he acts like this!"
Seeing that General Cao had been persuaded temporarily, Zhao Ting'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
When she heard him say that he must meet Cao Zhu in half a year, her heart began to tighten again. She thought to herself: I don't know what arrangements my father has made. Cao Zhu must be eliminated within half a year. She will find time to ask her father about it in the next few days, otherwise she will feel uneasy.
General Cao had been observing Zhao Ting'er secretly. Seeing her expression changing constantly, he sneered in his heart. He was really blind. Zhao Ting'er had been acting with him for so many years, but he had never realized it before!
"Madam, I'm full, and I still have some things to deal with. You can go and rest after you finish eating. You don't have to wait for me. I'll rest in the study today!"
After General Cao finished speaking, he patted Zhao Ting'er's hand which was around his arm, then stood up and strode away.
Looking at his back, Zhao Ting'er frowned. She always felt that the master was a little abnormal today. Was she overthinking it?
Maybe he was angry about what happened today, so he was a little cold to her. She was really embarrassing today!
When she thought about what happened today, she thought of Leng Linglong.
"Leng Linglong, since you are so ungrateful, don't blame me for being cruel!"
Zhao Ting'er sneered and said through gritted teeth.
At this moment, Leng Linglong had no idea that Zhao Ting'er had already decided to get rid of her. She was rummaging through her treasure!
"Ma'am, what are you looking for?"
Seeing her wife taking out all the jewelry and curios she collected and filling the table, bed and floor with them, Pei'er asked in confusion. "I'm not looking for anything. Don't worry about me. Go and do your thing!"
Leng Linglong waved at Pei'er without even raising her head, sat cross-legged on the ground, picked out a bunch of things from her treasures, put them aside separately, and continued to select.
"This military book is for Fangruo. This sword is good, it can be considered a treasured sword. Give it to Fangruo's husband!"
"Well, this medical book is a rare copy. I heard that Fangruo's daughter knows medicine, so I'll give it to her!"
"There are three boys left. What should I give them?"
When Zhao Che came in, he saw Leng Linglong sitting on the ground with her chin in her hand, frowning and thinking. The ground was full of things. He walked over to her carefully and asked, "Madam, what are you doing? Why are you putting things everywhere!"
These are all her treasures, and she usually doesn't let anyone touch them. How could she bear to leave them on the ground now?
Zhao Che was very puzzled.
Leng Linglong looked up at her husband, snorted and said, "Don't you look down on me? I'm packing my things. Starting tomorrow, we will live separately. I will move to another yard, which is next to the yard of father and son. The three of us will live together, and you can live by yourself!"
Hearing her words, Zhao Che's temples throbbed. He squatted down, looked at Leng Linglong with a headache and said, "Madam, please don't wrongly accuse me. When did I look down on you?"
"Today, didn't you just tell Daddy that I only know how to play by myself, don't teach my children, and even tease my sisters? What other wife is like me! Isn't your husband smart? How come you forgot what you said so quickly?"
Leng Linglong rolled her eyes at Zhao Che and spoke rudely.
After saying that, she ignored him and continued to tinker with her own things.
Zhao Che saw this and hurriedly pulled her in front of him, looked at her and said, "Madam, it's not that I look down on you, but I'm afraid that your temper will provoke people outside, make too many enemies, and bring danger to yourself! There are many insidious and cunning people out there, we must be on guard!"
"Then why did you say that about me?"
Leng Linglong pouts and says this after hearing this.
"Your father dotes on you, and your son lets you do whatever you want. If I don't say something to you, you're going to go crazy. Okay, don't be angry. I promise I won't say anything that seems to show disdain for you. But you have to promise me that you'll control your temper!"
Zhao Che looked at his wife who was throwing a tantrum in front of him and sighed helplessly.
"I have restrained myself, okay? This time I was doing something for my father, so I deliberately bullied Zhao Ting'er. Have you seen me act like this before? After getting married, I have become much more honest. If it were my temper before getting married, I would have bullied Zhao Ting'er so much that she would not dare to go out!"
Leng Linglong looked at Zhao Che with an unconvinced look on her face.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong. You have been very restrained. I asked someone to make Madam's favorite cakes. Madam, please don't be angry with me, okay?"
"Okay, for the sake of the cakes, I'll forgive you, my husband. Hurry up and have someone send the cakes over. I'm a little hungry!"
"Okay, I'll get it for you myself!"
Zhao Che breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the smile on Leng Linglong's face, and stood up to go to the front to serve the pastries.
Leng Linglong giggled happily when she saw him leave. She used this preemptive move very well today. Not only did she avoid being punished by her husband to copy books, but she also made her husband apologize first and find ways to coax her.
Zhao Che, who went to get the pastries, heard her laughter and shook his head. Her wife's thoughts were all written on her face, but she still thought she was one step ahead and had outwitted him.
Forget it. Didn’t he ask his father to go to the Leng Mansion to propose marriage just because he liked her personality? He won’t restrict her too much in the future. He will just send someone to protect her secretly!
