After the divorce, the aloof female CEO regretted it

Last night was indeed difficult, but fortunately the truth came out and there was no danger.

"Concubine Xuan, your face..."

At this time, Cao Guan seemed to notice something, and his smile suddenly stopped.

"A little injury, it's nothing." Concubine Cao Xuan didn't care.

"What's going on?" Cao Guan frowned.

"Brother Guan, a lot of things happened during the time you were imprisoned..."

Chen Shuang stepped forward and whispered in his ear.

After hearing this, Cao Guan became furious: "The Shangguan family again? They are really bullying me!"

Even if she framed him, she actually dared to hurt his daughter, which is intolerable!

"Dad, don't worry, I'm fine." Concubine Cao Xuan comforted her.

"Concubine Xuan, it's your useless father who has made you feel wronged." Cao Guan blamed himself.

If he had known that the Shangguan family was so despicable, he would never have agreed to the marriage at all.

"Dad, why are you talking about this? You're lucky to be back safely. Let's talk about it after we go in."

Concubine Cao Xuan smiled, then took her father's arm and walked into the manor.

Entering the meeting hall, not long after sitting down, Manager Cao suddenly ran in and reported: "Master, someone from the Shangguan family just sent a letter. Please read it."

As he spoke, he handed over an envelope with both hands.

"Ok?"

Cao Guan opened it and took a look, his face instantly darkened.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Concubine Cao Xuan took a closer look and couldn't help but frown.

The content of the letter was very simple, only a few sentences, but it was full of threats.

The general meaning is that Shangguan Lingcai's death was blamed on the Cao family.

It was the Cao family who instigated Lu Chen to commit the murder.

Now, the Cao family has only two choices.

Or, hand over the murderer, and the whole clan will bear a thorn and kneel for three days to plead guilty.

Or, conscientiously complete the engagement.

You can only choose one of the two.

If you dare to refuse, the Shangguan family will take full revenge and make the entire Cao family restless!

"It seems that Shangguanhong wants to use the death of his sister to force me to marry." Concubine Cao Xuan frowned deeply.

She thought the Shangguan family would use some tricks, but she didn't expect it to be so direct.

Either surrender or go to war.

There is no other choice.

"Daughter, since Shangguan Hong likes you so much, I think you can consider marrying her." Chen Shuang advised from the side.

Anyway, the two parties have an engagement, so it would be great if we could take this opportunity to resolve the conflict between the two families.

"Shangguan Hong doesn't like me, but himself. To him, I'm just a tool." Concubine Cao Xuan said coldly.

"How is that possible? I'm willing to turn a fight into friendship for you. Isn't that sincere enough?" Chen Shuang followed the inducements.

"A person who doesn't even care about the death of his own sister, do you think he is still a human being?" Concubine Cao Xuan asked in return.

"This..." Chen Shuang was speechless for a moment.

"Shangguan Hong is very ambitious. Concubine Xuan will not be happy if she marries him, so the engagement must be considered in the long run." Cao Guan suddenly said.

Before, he did have hope for the Shangguan family.

But now, he was completely disappointed.

There was no way he could just watch his daughter jump into the fire pit.

"Brother Guan, the letter made it very clear that if Concubine Xuan does not marry, then we will have to bear the anger of the Shangguan family. When the time comes..." Chen Shuang stopped talking.

Once the Shangguan family retaliates, the Cao family may not be able to withstand it.

"If soldiers come to block it, if water comes and earth comes to cover it, there will always be a way."

Cao Guan took a deep breath and his eyes became firm: "If the Shangguan family really wants to quarrel with each other, then we will have a fight, or at worst we will break up!"
