Exclamations erupted from the crowd, and Mother Yu was stunned for a moment. She watched Xiang Zhen'er bump into the stone lion, and had no time to react.

Just at the very moment, someone strode forward and grabbed Xiang Zhen'er's arm.

The crowd fell silent immediately, and they all looked blankly at the young guard who appeared suddenly.

"Miss Xiang, what grievances do you have, please come in and talk about it."

Looking at the cold eyes of the other party, Xiang Zhen'er shrank in fright, and stammered, "No, don't! Entering the gate of Cao's house...you will distort the facts again, put me, put me to death! "

"Oh, it looks like the Cao family will still use lynching. This little girl is scared." An old man said in a loud voice.

"If it's not a private matter that cannot be announced to the public, why not say it in front of everyone!" Someone suggested, "It's not nice to say, in case your Cao family deliberately conceals something, after you bring someone into the mansion , secretly killing people, what should I do?"

"That's right, that's right, such a wealthy family likes to do this kind of thing the most!"

"Yeah, that's right. Now that we have bumped into each other, it is fate. How can we watch this young girl step into the gate of hell?"

The young guard frowned slightly, and did not let go of Xiang Zhen'er's arm.

Mother Yu also noticed that something was wrong. There are too many people openly challenging Cao's gate today, right?

Probably because they noticed that the expressions of the Cao family were different, the voices of the onlookers gradually became quieter, but someone with good intentions stepped forward and dragged Xiang Zhen'er from the hands of the young guards to behind him.

"Girl, don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Hey, what happened? Why are there so many people gathered in front of Cao's house?" A short, fat man struggled to squeeze through the crowd panting, his small eyes widened and he looked around at everyone present. The little official asked Zhu's mother, "What's wrong?"

"The abandoned concubine of Cao's family came here to spoil her." Mama Yu squinted at Fatty unceremoniously, "Master Zhou, you don't need to worry about it, you just need to disperse the people who are watching the excitement in front of the gate. "

"Hehe." It's just a servant with a certain status in the Hou's mansion, but he dares to order him to be the majesty of the imperial capital?Zhou Fu Yin's face suddenly became serious, "Why would the abandoned concubine come here for no reason? Can you ask why?"

The person protecting Xiang Zhen'er rushed to say: "They want to bring people into the mansion, maybe they want to kill people to silence them! Hehe, this girl must have discovered some terrible secret of the Cao family."

"What a rambunctious one. I'm not afraid of going to hell with my tongue pulled out after death." Yu's mother scolded.

The man continued to sneer, "I think this girl has been forced to die by you, why don't you ask Zhou Fu Yin to make the decision for the girl."

Xiang Zhen'er subconsciously flinched, Zhou Fuyin appeared inexplicably.She just wanted to return to Cao's house safely, and didn't want to cause too much trouble.

"Oh?" Zhou Fuyin stroked his beard, and greeted the servants who came together, "Come on, take her back to the yamen, I want to ask her carefully."

Mother Yu stretched out her hand to stop, "We don't need Zhou Fu Yin to worry about the affairs of our Cao family."

Zhou Fuyin snorted coldly: "In the entire imperial capital, there are family matters, who has a grievance and who has a grudge, which one is not in charge of me? Otherwise, can I be worthy of the responsibilities entrusted by the Holy Majesty?!" Saying, He bowed his hands in the direction of the palace in a serious manner, "Or, do you think your Cao family... is better than the Holy Majesty?"

Mother Yu's face turned pale, and she hastily argued: "That's not what I meant, Zhou Fu Yin must not misinterpret it!"

"Hmph." Zhou Fuyin shook his head triumphantly, waved his hand and instructed the servants to take Xiang Zhen'er and leave Cao's house quickly, and those who were interested followed him, and most of the people saw the time to toss around. Long enough, get busy and go about your own business.

Yu's mother watched Zhou Fu Yin lead her towards Zhen'er, and ran back to the mansion in a hurry as if she was looking at the young guard.

At this time, Cao Lv was wearing a coat and sitting under the pavilion in the courtyard. He listened to the young guards report on the situation at the door, but he just smiled indifferently, took Pang Miao's hand, drank the soup in the bowl, and Slowly wiped his lips with a warm handkerchief, and then gathered his coat so that it would not slip off his shoulders.

"Never mind, let them make trouble." He finally spoke, staring at the candied fruit on the table, and then at Pang Miao.

Resisting the urge to cover Cao Lu's face with a small dish, Pang Miao picked the biggest one and fed it into Cao Lu's mouth.

Can you do whatever you want when you are a patient?It's just... shameless.

Cao Lv chewed the sweet and sour candied fruit slowly, and said to the guard who hadn't left for a long time: "Go, as long as no one dies at the gate of Cao's house, everything else is fine."

"Yes, General." The young guard then left Tingsong Courtyard.

Although Pang Miao didn't understand what Cao Lv's plan was, but he knew there must be something strange in it, so he couldn't help asking: "Yesterday you asked someone to follow Xiang Zhen'er, and today you let the nonsense in front of the door, could it be... Is Zhen'er instigated by someone? Husband's political enemy?"...Maybe he is a member of King Yan's faction? !

Cao Lu praised gently: "Mr. Wen is very smart."

"I told you that you must never participate in foreign affairs." Mrs. Cao's stern voice sounded outside the door, "Did you take my words as wind?!"

Pang Miao got up quickly, if it was against Cao Fu, it would be fine, ignore it and do as he pleases, but Madam Cao is a so-called "mother-in-law" and an elder, if there is a falling out, Cao Lv will definitely not stand by his side .

"Mother, Mr. Wen only cares about me. Besides, Xiang Zhen'er is originally from the house. It is not inappropriate for Mr. Wen to intervene." Cao Lu got up and walked to Pang Miao, "Mother, if it is because of Xiang Zhen'er's affairs , then please don’t worry, I’m fully prepared and can handle it.”

Mrs. Cao was taken aback, and glanced at Pang Miao over her youngest son's shoulder, "Go back to the room to avoid it, I have something important to tell Lu'er."

Pang Miao obediently left and returned to the house, Jinxiu closed the door tightly.

Only then did Mrs. Cao get to the point, "What did Xiang Zhen'er do to you? And it's really—unexpectedly—that she has the audacity to act so nonsense."

"She was probably instigated by someone and almost hurt me, so I drove her out of the mansion suddenly, just to see who is behind the scenes." Cao Lu explained lightly.

"Yesterday, when Fu'er told me about it, I was taken aback. I was so busy that I wanted to come over and take a look, but I heard that you were asleep, so I didn't come to see you." Mrs. Cao looked her son up and down carefully. He replied, "It's good to see that you're fine, it's good that you're fine. I've already sent someone to inform your father about this matter, let's see what he means. I don't understand the things in the court, but your father has been struggling for a long time. Ten years, I can always give you some pointers. In the future, you will not talk about court affairs with your daughter-in-law, you know?"

"Of course I won't tell her what I shouldn't say." Cao Lv replied, but changed a few words.

Mrs. Cao didn't hear it, she chatted with her son for a while, and left first.

Hearing that there was no movement outside, Pang Miao saw Cao Lu's warm smiling face when he opened the door, which calmed down his slightly disturbed heart.

"I thought about it carefully just now. Maybe this matter has something to do with Prince Yan's son? I always feel that he failed to harm you last time, so he must make another move."

Cao Lu touched Pang Miao's shoulder with his palm, and said with a smile, "It will be revealed soon, so don't worry too much, Mr. Wen."

Pang Miao only felt numbness in his back, and forced the corners of his mouth to twitch, showing an ugly smile, "Okay, but please be careful and don't be careless."

Jinxiu, who was standing by the side, looked at this scene and really wanted to shake her head and sigh——

If it weren't for the young master being a man, such a scene would be no different from a loving couple.
