After a while, the voice of Princess Zhaoyang came from the room again:

"Cao Bin, catch her quickly, don't let her run away, if she reports to the palace, we both will be finished."

Then, a cry of pain was heard, and the candlelight in the Nuan Pavilion flickered rhythmically.

On the second day, at dawn, the female officer and the princess supported each other, came out from the side door of the Hou Mansion, and quietly boarded the carriage.

The princess rubbed her sore thighs, and suddenly said worriedly:

"I don't come home at night, if Chen Shimei asks, it will be troublesome."

The female officer said firmly:

"Princess, don't worry, I will leave it to the servant girl. I have already thought of the reason."

The princess gave her a strange look, the female officer blushed, and argued:

"The slaves are also for the face of the royal family..."

Princess Zhaoyang was speechless for a moment.

Last night, Pang Yanyan and others went to bed early and didn't know what happened in the front yard at all. They were having dinner with Cao Bin at this time.

While talking and laughing, the servant girl came to report:

"Uncle, Qin Xianglian and her son are asking to see you."

Cao Bin said: "Call them in!"

After a while, Qin Xianglian walked in with a pair of children, and knelt down on the tunnel while holding the children's heads:

"Thank you Uncle Cao for saving your life, otherwise we, mother and son, would have been hard-pressed to escape the murderous hands of evildoers."

"Qin Xianglian is a commoner girl, I don't know what to repay!"

Cao Bin waved his hand, and said solemnly:

"Hurry up and get the kids up. I'm always good at fighting against injustices. I hate people with little luck. It's just a trivial matter."

He was thinking about how to persuade Qin Xianglian to go to Kaifeng Mansion to file a complaint, but he heard a "gudong" and the sound of swallowing saliva.

Seeing the two children staring helplessly at the breakfast on the table, Cao Bin laughed and said:

"Come here, prepare meals in the side hall, more meat."

As he said that, he personally helped the two children up, patted their shoulders, and said with grief:

"What a good boy, Chen Shimei is a little crazy!"

Qin Xianglian felt sore when she heard the words, and was about to speak when the servants had already filled the side hall with chicken, duck, fish, fruits and vegetables.

Cao Bin personally ushered them into their seats and instructed:

"Okay, Sister Qin, let's talk later if you have something to say, fill your stomachs first."

"Look at the children, if you haven't seen meat for a long time, don't eat too much."

After finishing speaking, he retreated very considerately, leaving only the mother and child behind.

Seeing this, Qin Xianglian couldn't help feeling warm.

This kind of dignitaries can still be so careful, it has to be moved.

"Mom, can we have dinner?"

asked the two children.

Qin Xianglian nodded and said, "Eat, you must remember Uncle Cao's kindness."

When the two children heard the permission, they couldn't help it immediately, and they raised their chopsticks and started eating.

After relieving their hunger a little, the actions of the two children unconsciously became gentle and polite.

Thinking of Cao Bin's warm and powerful hand when he patted his shoulder just now, the boy suddenly choked up holding the duck leg and said:

"It would be great if Uncle Cao was my father, then my mother won't be bullied."

He had no father's care since he was a child, and it was the first time he was cared by a man, which made him feel very different.

Upon hearing this, the girl nodded seriously and said:

"Brother Uncle Cao captured that bad woman yesterday, he must have spanked her ass."

Qin Xianglian blushed and said angrily: "Shut up, even eating can't stop your mouths."

Seeing that their mother was angry, the two children quickly stuck out their tongues and dared not speak.

After two cups of tea, Qin Xianglian led the two children out of the side hall, with a determined look in her eyes, and knelt down directly:

"I beg Uncle Cao to make the decision for us, I want to sue Chen Shimei!"

Cao Bin was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Qin Xianglian had already made a decision without her own prodding.

Fearing that she would shrink back, Cao Bin slapped the table and said nonsense:

"Okay, I support Sister Qin's decision, you can go and sue."

"If Bao Heizi fears the powerful and bends the law for personal gain, I will destroy his Kaifeng mansion!"

"Even if the queen mother and princess come, I will stand by your side..."

When Pang Yanyan and the others heard this, they couldn't help but rolled their eyes, and laughed silently.

Where did Qin Xianglian figure out the size of the official position?

All she knew was that Cao Bin was not afraid of the princess, and that was enough to make her feel in awe.

Therefore, upon hearing Cao Bin's assurance, she said excitedly as if she had found a backer:

"Thank you uncle, thank you uncle."

She insisted on suing Chen Shimei, on the one hand because of hatred for him, but more because she was afraid that he would never stop dying and would definitely kill herself and her two children.

Even if they returned to their hometown, their mother and son still had no way out.

The ten-year-old child already has his own thinking. Hearing Cao Bin's majestic speech, the boy couldn't help showing admiration in his eyes, and suddenly asked:

"Uncle Cao, can I recognize you as my father?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and Du Shiniang spit out a mouthful of rice.

Qin Xianglian was terrified, her eyes were full of anger, and she turned around to slap her son.

For such a wealthy family, being able to help him is already a great favor, how can he not know what is good or bad?

Seeing this, Cao Bin quickly shouted: "Slow down!"

It turned out that the moment the boy spoke, the system prompt suddenly sounded.

[Special dandy event trigger: Senior Prime Minister Cao's special gift! 】

[Foster Cards (Cao Zhen, Qin Lang, He Yan): Inheritance growth card, merge with Su Shizi, obtain corresponding growth inheritance, and be absolutely loyal to the host]

Good guy, "free" gift of three character inheritance cards, this is a very rare thing.

These three are growth cards, which cannot make the fuser instantly obtain the abilities of the characters in the card, but they have growth potential.

And the three characters in the card are not too bad.

Cao Zhen is powerful, courageous and resourceful. He once commanded the tiger and leopard cavalry. Later, he also defeated Zhuge Liang and defeated Soochow. He was the assistant minister of Wei State.

He Yan and He Yan, with one article and one martial arts, are both top talents in Wei State.

Although Qin Lang is close, but not too much, the attribute of absolute loyalty alone is already worth having.

Hearing Cao Bin's words, Qin Xianglian was stunned for a moment, and said in confusion, "Uncle, what are you..."

Cao Bin laughed, stared at the boy and said:

"Come on, call me daddy!"

The boy immediately said crisply: "Father!"

"Hey!"

Cao Bin laughed loudly and said, "From now on, your surname will be Cao, and you will change your name to Cao Zhen. Would you like it?"

The boy nodded and said, "I listen to Dad!"

Cao Bin said happily: "It's so good, Daddy will give you something, close your eyes."

As he spoke, he reached out and patted the "Cao Zhen Inheritance Growth Card" on the boy's forehead, and a warm current flowed through his whole body, making him feel comfortable.

But in the eyes of others, there was no vision.

After a while, the boy opened his eyes, looked at Cao Bin with admiration and said, "Daddy, are you a fairy?"

Cao Bin let out a "hush" laugh and said:

"Don't say it, no one can tell it in the future, this is a secret between us, you know..."

Bao Zheng was handling official business in Kaifeng Mansion, and the drum of grievances suddenly rang throughout the mansion.

After being promoted to the hall, seeing Qin Xianglian kneeling with a pair of children under the hall, Bao Zheng said strangely:

"Qin Xianglian, haven't you returned to your hometown?"

Qin Xianglian heard the words, and quickly handed over the pleadings.

Bao Zheng saw that in addition to the five crimes on the pleadings, including deceiving the emperor, stopping his wife and remarrying, there was an additional crime of killing his wife and children.

Although he was angry in his heart, he was also a little embarrassed:

"This matter needs to be confronted by Prince Chen..."

If Chen Shimei cooperated well, if he didn't cooperate, he would have to forcibly enter the princess's mansion to take someone. Kaifeng Mansion has no right to do so.

At this moment, the gate guard came to report: "Master Bao, Mrs. Chen is visiting!"

Bao Zheng was stunned for a moment, quite strange, he hadn't sent anyone yet, but this guy delivered it to his door by himself.

But the opportunity is rare, he hastily said:

"Consort Chen, please come to court!"

At this time, outside the entrance of the lobby, there were already crowds of spectators.

As Chen Shimei walked in, she asked in distaste:

"Bao Zheng is asking questions? Didn't he post that he wanted to apologize to Chen? Why..."

When he saw Qin Xianglian's mother and son kneeling in the hall, he turned his head and left, but was immediately stopped by the yamen servants.

He turned to look at Bao Zheng, his face was ashen and said:

"Bao Zheng, how dare you deceive my son-in-law!"

Bao Zheng patted the gavel and said, "Chen Concubine, do you know the person in front of you?"

Although he felt strange, he didn't investigate it carefully, and the priority is to handle the case seriously.

Chen Shimei stared, shook her head and said, "This is a crazy woman, I don't know her at all!"

Qin Xianglian couldn't help saying angrily:

"You unlucky person, not only don't you recognize me, but you don't even recognize your parents' tablet and your own children?"

Chen Shimei said: "If you want to recognize your relatives, you have to show real evidence. My son-in-law is a relative of the emperor, and I have never known you, a country woman."

Bao Zheng asked: "Qin Xianglian, do you have proof?"

Seeing Qin Xianglian shaking her head, Bao Zheng was also a little embarrassed. It was rare for Chen Shimei to come forward to confront her. If she didn't have evidence, she would have missed this opportunity.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the government office: "Let's make room for me, there are witnesses here."

Immediately afterwards, two big men came in with seven or eight farmers and women.

When Chen Shimei saw those farmers, her expression changed drastically.

One of the old couples took out the letter of engagement and marriage and said:

"Lord Bao, when Chen Shimei and the Qin family got married, it was the old man who was the matchmaker!"

Several others also said:

"My lord, we are all neighbors of the Chen family, and we can all testify that the Qin family is indeed the wife and house that Chen Shimei is currently marrying."
