The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

Cao Kun knew his wife's affection for him and wanted to go in, but he heard what his son said later.

Cao Kun retracted his hand again.

Forget it, since things have come to this, there is no point in saying more.

Based on his own judgment, Cao Kun also has an understanding of the Queen.

If the Queen has decided on something, it cannot be changed.

If the emperor gives the order, the queen can still change.

But the queen had made up her mind, and it was useless for the emperor to persuade her.

Cao Kun returned to the front yard and asked the housekeeper to pack up.

Just as my wife said, this time when I leave Beijing, I may never come back.

Only two servants will be left in the general's mansion to do daily cleaning, and the rest of the people will also be taken away.

This general's mansion was a reward from the emperor, so it cannot be sold and can only be kept.

Maybe when Yuer grows up in the future, he can come back and stay for a few days.

Cao Kun could sense that his wife and the Queen had a shallow mother-daughter relationship, and neither of them wanted to meet.

In this case, it is best to separate.

Cao Kun had not sat down for long when he heard a servant come to report.

"General, Old Master Xia and Third Master Xia are here."

Cao Kun immediately went out to greet them, after all, it was his father-in-law and third uncle who came.

"Father-in-law!"

"Third Brother!"

Cao Kun saluted the two of them.

Old Master Xia casually exchanged a few words with Cao Kun. He wanted to ask his daughter a question, but it was not appropriate to do it in front of his son-in-law.

So he asked a few questions about the packing situation in the mansion and the time of departure.

"Your Majesty gave us five days. I left in a hurry this time. I'm afraid I won't be able to attend my second brother's wedding!"

Cao Kun was talking about Xia Wenyao's marriage.

Old Master Xia looked a little embarrassed. This granddaughter's marriage was not so glorious.

However, thinking that he would soon have a grandson who would be a marquis, Old Master Xia felt happy again.

Their Xia family still cannot be surpassed by anyone.

"It's okay. Official business is more important. Chesha's place is far away. You have to take good care of Shuhua..."

After Mr. Xia gave some instructions, Cao Kun agreed to everything.

Xia Tongzhang was listening anxiously and blinked several times at Old Man Xia.

He had long seen that Cao Kun was a rough man with a lot of potential.

He could also guess the purpose of his father-in-law and uncle's visit.

I’m afraid that you two have come here for nothing today! ! ! !

Grandpa Xia then got back to the point, "I came here today to see Shuhua and Zeyu."

Cao Kun stood up and said, "I will send someone to take my father-in-law over right away. I have some important matters to attend to, so I can't accompany you."

Old Master Xia was very happy that his son-in-law knew how to handle the current situation.

He just likes talking to smart people.

To be honest, Mr. Xia felt that Cao Kun was the most suitable son-in-law to be his because he was both civil and military and came from a high-class family.

If the youngest daughter had not been lost and the Cao family had not been framed, then the two of them being together would have been a match made in heaven.

As for the original blacksmith, how could he be worthy of being the son-in-law of the Xia family! !

Fortunately, the two of them are destined to be together, and after many twists and turns, they are finally together.

When Mr. Xia thought of this, he was also very fortunate.

"Okay, dear son-in-law, go and do your thing. The third brother and I will go there by ourselves."

Old Master Xia and Xia Tongzhang walked quickly towards the backyard.

When Cao Xia saw Old Man Xia and Xia Tongzhang, her attitude was also cold.

Especially after she recovered her memory, her feelings towards the Xia family became very complicated.

"Father, Third Brother!"

After Mr. Xia came in, he looked around and asked, "Is Zeyu not here?"

Cao Xia shook her head, "He went to pack his things, what's the matter, father?"

Xia Tongzhang said at this time: "Third sister, happy event, great happy event."

Cao Xia's expression was calm. What did the Xia family's happy event have to do with her?

"Oh? Congratulations, Third Brother!"

Xia Tongzhang: "......"

Xia Tongzhang and Cao Kun served in the same dynasty, and Cao Kun was also at home.

Seeing that his sister didn't know about it, Xia Tongzhang guessed that Cao Kun did not tell her about the imperial edict after returning home.

"Third sister, this is not my happy event, it's your happy event, and it's about Zeyu."

"The emperor has issued an edict, conferring the title of Ning'an Marquis on Qin Yuanlin posthumously, and the title will be hereditary!"

Cao Xia: “….”

Cao Xia couldn't believe it and she took two steps back.

Marquis of Ningyuan?

Hereditary succession?

Cao Xia was not an ordinary village woman who knew nothing. She was a noble lady from an aristocratic family and she knew the value of this title.

Thinking of the Queen's indifferent expression that day, Cao Xia suspected that this was the Queen's revenge on her.

After returning home that day, Cao Xia also remembered the inappropriate things she had done in the palace. When she heard the queen say that she was treated as a maid in the Li family, she did not show her concern.

After Cao Xia returned home, she was worried.

After all, Qin Wan became the queen and had supreme power.

Thinking of Liu's misunderstanding of herself, she would definitely not be very nice to the Queen.

Because of this matter, she met Li Guozhu again and learned about what the queen had experienced in the Li family.

Knowing that the queen was not lying, Liu was indeed venting her anger on a child.

Cao Xia has not been in a good mood these days!!

But things had already happened, and Cao Xia felt powerless to change them.

She could only sigh at the unfairness of the world, and she desperately wanted to escape from Chang'an City.

I don’t want to bear the consequences now.

Sure enough, her husband came back later and said that the emperor asked him to go to guard another place and was not allowed to take his son with him.

Cao Xia knew that the Queen had a grudge against her.

Cao Xia hated Qin Wan at that time, and hated her for separating her from her son.

So she supported her son when he went to the palace alone to plead for mercy.

Who would have thought that this would be the result?

Cao Xia felt that the current outcome was the Queen's real revenge on her.

Seeing his sister stunned and looking silly, Xia Tongzhang said with a smile: "Little sister, you are so happy that you are silly!"

Cao Xia shook her head, "No, this happy event has nothing to do with our family."

Xia Tongzhang frowned, "How could it be? Zeyu is Qin Yuanlin's biological son. If this title is not his, who else could it be?"

"It's just that we need to change Zeyu's surname as soon as possible. We can't keep the surname Cao!"

Old Master Xia also said, "Shuhua, your third brother is right. Now Zeyu's last name has been changed. When you leave this time, don't let Zeyu go. Let him get closer to the queen."

"They are siblings. It will be good for him to have a good relationship with the queen."

Xia Tongzhang also said: "Yes, little sister, it is true that the queen is your daughter, but she is the queen now, the mother of the country."

"Don't expect her to bow to us. We need to be more proactive and lower our attitude."

“It’s not entirely true that the queen is cold-hearted, she is also good to her own people.

She doesn’t treat everyone the same. For example, in our family, she doesn’t like Wen Yao, but she is nice to Wen Miao.”

Xia Tongzhang really thinks so.

Old Master Xia also nodded, he also understood it.

This granddaughter is a calm person with a man's mind.

For example, if the Xia family is arrogant, she will give them a blow on the head without hesitation.

But as long as you have the ability, she will give you a chance.

Mr. Xia has recently regained his clarity of mind and slowly found a way to get along with the Queen.

Cao Xia shook her head, "The Queen has already adopted Qin Ting to Qin Yuanlin, and that title has nothing to do with Yu'er!"

Cao Xia's heart was conflicted. Being granted a title of nobility or appointed as prime minister was the dream of many people.

But my son missed this opportunity.

She was so selfish after all, she ruined her son's future for herself!!!
