"What? You want to mobilize the army?!"

Everyone was shocked because of Cao Biao's words.

I thought things would go smoothly. As long as Shangguan Hong nodded, the engagement between the two families would remain the same.

I didn't expect that it would be such a result in the end.

"I don't understand. How am I worse than Concubine Cao Xuan? Why doesn't Shangguan Hong want to marry me?!"

Cao Zhiyuan gritted his teeth and was very angry.

As a woman, she was able to take the initiative to ask for marriage, which was already a huge step down from her stature.

However, Shangguanhong didn't give her any face, and directly asked someone to kick her out.

From beginning to end, he didn't even look at her.

It's simply a naked humiliation!

"Shangguan Hong refused to change the marriage, and Concubine Cao Xuan refused to marry. What should we do now?" someone suddenly asked.

"If you ask me, just break up with me!"

Cao Zhiyuan said angrily: "Since Shangguanhong doesn't give us face, then we don't need to give him face!"

"Zhiyuan! Be careful what you say!"

Cao Jun quickly shouted to stop.

Don't talk nonsense like this, be careful that walls have ears.

"Lao San, you are the patriarch, you make the decision!"

Cao Biao sat down angrily, picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.

He had been wronged at Shangguan's house just now, and now he was full of anger.

"Since remarriage doesn't work, we have to find another way."

Cao Guan said with a serious face: "I plan to hold my fiftieth birthday in advance, and the time will be on the wedding day. When the time comes, I will invite many guests and throw a big banquet!"

"Hold your fiftieth birthday?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in confusion, not knowing why.

At this juncture, does it make sense to celebrate my birthday in advance?

"Third brother, do you mean to use this birthday to put pressure on the Shangguan family?"

After thinking for a moment, Cao Jun quickly reacted.

"Yes."

Cao Guan nodded: "Since Shangguan Hong wants to force the marriage, then I will hold a birthday party. I believe that in front of many powerful and famous people, the Shangguan family should not dare to mess around."

"It makes sense..."

Cao Jun touched his chin: "My Cao family has good relationships and many connections. If we show our strength appropriately, we might be able to convince the Shangguan family to take advantage of them."

"Lao San, what you said can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. What if Shangguan Hong calls in the army?" Cao Biao asked the key.

The Shangguan family is powerful because of its strong military background.

Almost no one dares to mess with him.

This is also what the Cao family fears the most.

"I have also considered these, so I contacted Deputy General Wang in advance, hoping that he could help." Cao Guandao.

The deputy commander-in-chief is a second-grade general who holds real power.

Moreover, in terms of official position, he is half a rank higher than Shangguan Hong.

"Will Deputy General Wang help us?" Cao Biao was a little confused.

"Deputy Commander Wang's daughter was murdered by Shangguan Lingcai. Although the murderer has been executed, the hatred will not disappear. This is the situation we can take advantage of." Cao Guan explained.

"Third brother, if you can really ask Deputy General Wang to come forward, then our Cao family will be saved!" Cao Jun looked hopeful.

"I will try my best to convince Deputy General Wang before the birthday banquet!" Cao Guan said firmly.

Only by taking advantage of the situation to suppress others can the Cao family survive the difficulties.

"Third uncle! I'm here, why do I need to ask for help?!"

At this time, a loud voice suddenly exploded in the meeting hall.

Immediately afterwards, a burly man wearing an officer's uniform walked in with a high head.

Behind him were two adjutants.

"Yi Ming?!"

After seeing the man in uniform, everyone was surprised and happy, and they were very surprised.

The person who walked through the door was none other than Cao Biao’s son, Cao Yiming!

Cao Yiming has been guarding the border with the army all year round, and will only come back once during the Chinese New Year.

Unexpectedly, I returned home early.
