Chapter 199 Cousin, there was a hidden reason why you fell off the cliff that year
"Jun Huan, come, drink some sobering tea first, then eat some fruit!"
Cao took the tray that Lin Xi brought over, placed it in front of Zhao Junhuan, and said with concern.
Zhao Jun drank the sobering tea with a smile, then picked up a bunch of grapes and started eating them.
"Hmm? These grapes are more delicious than any I've ever tasted. Cousin, where did you get these good things?"
After eating the delicious food, Zhao Junhuan instantly forgot all the questions he wanted to ask and started to care about the origin of the grapes first.
Just as Cao was about to speak, Lin Xi cheerfully pushed a plate of grapes in front of Zhao Junhuan and said with a smile, "Uncle, I was out of town a few days ago, and these grapes were given to me by a nobleman!"
Hearing her daughter's words, Cao swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth and nodded in agreement.
Since my daughter doesn't want to tell Jun Huan the truth, she must have her reasons.
After Lin Xi finished speaking, she didn't wait for Zhao Junhuan to ask again, she took the lead and asked: "Uncle, why did you come to Linshan County to open a restaurant?"
"Oh! I have loved food since I was a child. When I grew up, I traveled around to look for food. Before I knew it, I had gathered a group of chefs. So I simply opened restaurants in various places and asked them to study local food. This way, no matter where I go, I can always find food to eat. This Fulin Restaurant was opened when I visited here once. I didn't expect that the restaurants in various places are actually doing quite well!"
Zhao Junhuan picked up a grape and threw it into his mouth, shaking his head and speaking.
After saying that, he suddenly remembered the dishes Lin Xi had made at Fulin Restaurant. He looked at her with bright eyes and said, "Niece, why are your dishes so delicious? I have decided to live in Linshan Village from now on. Tomorrow I will have someone build a yard next to yours so that I can eat your dishes every day!"
The more Zhao Junhuan thought about it, the better he felt that his idea was, so it was decided. He would have people start working on it tomorrow!
Looking at Zhao Junhuan who looked very proud, Xiao An'er blinked and said, "Uncle, you have already reserved the land next door to my house!"
"Uncle? Cousin Cao Zhu has been here. Does he know that my cousin is still alive?"
Zhao Junhuan stood up from his seat in surprise and asked loudly.
Seeing everyone nodding, he raised his voice and said, "He knows that my cousin is still alive. Last time I went to the military camp to find him, he didn't tell me anything! I asked him why he suddenly left the general's mansion, but he didn't tell me the reason..."
At this point, he suddenly paused. His cousin suddenly turned against the General's Mansion some time ago. He asked him why he did that, but he refused to say anything. Could it be related to his cousin? The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high.
He turned to look at Cao and asked seriously, "Cousin, was there any hidden reason why you fell off the cliff that year? Was there someone in the general's mansion who wanted to harm you?"
Lin Xi looked at Zhao Junhuan who suddenly became serious, and secretly sighed: The relatives on my mother's side really reacted quickly!
Cao didn't answer him, but pulled him aside and asked, "Brother left the general's mansion? What happened? Why didn't he mention it?"
Seeing that Cao looked anxious, Zhao Junhuan told her in detail how Cao Zhu had asked to leave the clan, set up a household, and asked for his mother's dowry some time ago.
"My father is still alive, but he asked to leave the clan. How will outsiders view him? Isn't he destroying his own career? Brother, this is all for me!"
Seeing Cao's tearful face, Lin Dayong felt distressed and quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears. The three Lin Kang brothers also came up to her and comforted her gently.
Seeing that his mother still looked guilty, Lin Xi squatted in front of her and said, "Mom, we will have to go back to the capital one day to seek revenge on the General's Mansion. The fallout with the General's Mansion is a foregone conclusion. Uncle just stood firmly on your side. Since this situation will happen sooner or later, why should mother be sad? Besides, uncle is not interested in being an official. The reason why he is fighting on the battlefield now is just to protect the people of Daxia! Didn't uncle say that after the war, he would settle down in Linshan Village and live with us! We will build a house for uncle and wait for him to come back! As for the opinions of outsiders, why bother about it! What outsiders think is their business. We just need to live our free life with uncle!"
Listening to her daughter's words of persuasion, Cao gradually calmed down. Her daughter was right. After revenge, they and her brother would live a carefree life in Linshan Village. Why should they care what those clansmen and outsiders think of them!
"Cousin, what is going on? Who in the general's mansion wants to harm you? Cao Fangqing or Zhao Ting'er?"
Zhao Junhuan handed Cao a cup of tea and asked in a low voice.
Cao took a sip of tea and then told Zhao Junhuan what happened from beginning to end.
"Humph! Cao Fangqing, Zhao Ting'er, you are so bold! Are you bullying my cousin because she has no mother to protect her?"
After knowing the whole story, Zhao Junhuan slammed the table angrily and uttered these words through gritted teeth.
He did not scold his uncle, General Cao, because he felt that there must be something fishy about this matter. Given his uncle's character, it is impossible for him to harm his own daughter. However, seeing that his cousin was convinced that her father was also involved, he did not express his doubts. He decided to tell his cousin after he found out the truth.
"Uncle, my table!"
Lin Ping pointed at the round table with a big crack on it and asked Zhao Junhuan to look at it.
Hearing this, Zhao Junhuan looked at the table that was about to break in two, rubbed his hands in embarrassment, and laughed, "Sorry, I couldn't control my strength for a moment!"
Lin Dayong and Cao quickly said that nothing was wrong. Lin Dayong moved the table in his and Cao's bedroom over and asked Lin Xi and others to move the things onto this table. He moved the original table aside first and could continue to use it after repairing it when he had time.
"Cousin, what are you going to do?"
Zhao Junhuan sat next to Cao, looked at her and asked.
"After Big Brother finishes the battle, we will go to the capital together and make the events of that year known to the public, so that those people in the General's Mansion will pay the price they deserve!"
Cao said coldly.
"Then we have to let them enjoy themselves for a while. No, I have to go back to Beijing and make some arrangements with Grandpa. Let's make things difficult for them first. They have done such evil things, how can we let them continue to enjoy wealth and glory as if nothing happened? If we watch you being bullied and do nothing, won't Aunt in heaven blame us?"
Zhao Junhuan said with narrowed eyes.
When Lin Xi heard Zhao Junhuan mention her grandmother, she suddenly remembered the longevity lock.
She quietly took the longevity lock out of the boundary bead, placed it in front of Cao, and said, "Mother, take a look, is this the longevity lock that belonged to my grandmother?"
"Yes, but I gave this longevity lock to my cousin Jun Le many years ago. Xi'er, how come it is here with you?"
Cao grabbed the longevity lock and looked at it carefully, with a look of surprise on her face.
