The Fan Dang case, which shocked the government and the opposition, spread throughout the capital within one day. Teahouses and restaurants were talking about it all over the capital, and the Cao family was no exception. This news also shocked the Cao family, especially among the thirteen officials who were demoted, the Cao family also involved the Cao family's son-in-law, which made the Cao family pay special attention to this matter.

Some people in the Cao Mansion were worried that the Cao family would be implicated by Li Yanqing, while others laughed secretly, who said that the third family would get a virtuous son-in-law?

Mrs. Cao, Wang, heard the news from somewhere, and as soon as she entered the door, she shouted to her husband, "Did you hear that Yanqing has been dismissed from office."

When the wife spoke, Cao Xuan did not dare to neglect her, and hurriedly said, "It's not that she was dismissed from office, but that she was demoted to the magistrate."

"What's the difference between being dismissed from office? The dignified Censor was demoted to a small magistrate. If it was spread, it would make others laugh at us."

"There is nothing to do, and even the prime minister and the Privy Councilor were demoted to the prefecture and the magistrate. I think Yanqing was demoted to the prefecture and the prefecture was nothing."

"Who said there is no way!"

Mrs. Wang glared at her husband fiercely, pulled him aside and whispered: "Anyway, I'm not married yet. Go and ask my grandpa and discuss whether this marriage can be cancelled?"

Cao Xuan was shocked, "Madam, how can this be done? The betrothal gift has been given. We will be welcomed in a few days. How can we regret the marriage at this time?"

"I knew you would say this when you useless things, so I asked you to ask your grandpa, maybe he has this idea too?"

"I won't go!" Cao Xuanzhang said angrily.

Mrs. Wang glared at her eyes, "Are you going?"

Cao Xuan was afraid, so he had to lower his head and walk listlessly towards the front yard.

At this moment, a cat's cry came from the corner of the wall, and a small red figure ran away.

Cao Jiaojiao ran to her sister's room in one breath and shouted, "Da Shuniang, where are you?"

"What are you doing so loudly?"

Cao Yun was sorting out and packing her collection in the study. She was about to get married to the Li family in a few days. She had to take away nearly 10,000 books and scrolls. She was so busy that she was dizzy these two days.

Cao Jiaojiao rushed in like a gust of wind and said anxiously: "Da Shuniang, I'm going to break the marriage!"

‘Crash!’ Cao Yun’s book fell all over the ground, and she was also frightened, “What did you say?”

"I was looking for a cat just now, and I happened to hear my mother forcing my father to regret the marriage. It seemed that something happened to Brother Li."

Cao Yun was anxious and turned around and rushed towards his mother's room. At this time, Mrs. Wang was sitting in the living room for tea. Cao Yun broke in and said angrily: "Mother, my daughter has something to say!"

"If you have something to say, why do you have such a fierce tone? Is this an attitude towards your mother?" Mrs. Wang paused the teacup heavily on the table with dissatisfaction.

Cao Yun held back his anger and said, "I heard that my daughter is going to regret the marriage?"

"You have a long ear, which is not bad. I have the idea of ​​remorse. Because I heard rumors that Li Yanqing was involved in a major court case and was demoted to the small magistrate, so I think this marriage is not suitable."

"Mother!"

Cao Yun couldn't help but say angrily: "The betrothal gift has been completed and the wedding date has been decided, but the mother wants to regret the marriage. Have you ever considered her daughter's feelings?"

Mrs. Wang was also angry, "I regretted the marriage just for you. If you married your cousin, I had no objection. He is now a seventh-rank Yu Hou military officer, but he has made the Pan family free. Do you know how I feel?"

"I won't marry Wang Jun even if I hit him to death."

"you"

Mrs. Wang was furious and stepped forward and slapped her daughter, "You dare to mention the word "death" and see how I deal with you. Go back to your room and you won't be allowed to come out!"

Cao Yun was beaten by his mother for the first time, and she burst into tears and said with a sob: "If my mother regrets getting married, then I will become a monk and become a nun. I will do what I say. If I don't believe my mother, just wait and see!"

After Cao Yun finished speaking, he turned around and ran away. Mrs. Wang was a little annoyed. It was the first time she berated her daughter, but she was also angry. How could her daughter say something that she was head-on-head-killing? She was also very anxious. I wonder if her husband could persuade her grandfather to cancel the marriage?

Just as Mrs. Wang regretted the marriage, Pan Xu was also persuading Cao Ping to cancel the marriage in the guest hall in the front yard of Cao's mansion.

The reason why Pan Xu persuaded Cao Ping to cancel the marriage was because his eldest son Pan Lun became a candidate for the Secretariat, and Pan Lun's wife was Cao Ping's niece. Wang Fu specifically pointed out this when talking to his eldest son, which made Pan Xu very nervous. He was afraid that the marriage between the Cao family and Li Yanqing would affect his son's future.

"Brother, you and I are the ones who have experienced it. At the time, many officials in the Yuanyou Party’s case were implicated, but they have not been able to restore their reputation to this day. Once the Fan Party case is expanded this time, the Cao family will definitely be implicated. I am very worried that my brother will be like a teacher who is in charge of his later years. He will lose his title and official position. I advise me to break up and get rid of this marriage and protect the Cao family."

The more Cao Ping heard, his face became more gloomy. How could he not understand Pan Xu’s real purpose? Pan Xu was not considering the Cao family, it was obvious that he was afraid that the Cao family would be involved in the Pan family.

The Cao family is a bit risky. If Pan Xu really considers the Cao family, he would understand it, but the risk is still 108,000 miles away from the Pan family. Pan Xu advised himself to break up the marriage and ignore the reputation of the Cao family at all. Wouldn't this be a little too selfish?

Cao Ping suppressed his anger and said, "The Li family's betrothal gift has been sent, and the wedding date has been set, but he suddenly regrets the marriage. Wouldn's people be laughed at? What should I do if Yunniang's lifelong affairs are done? Who dares to marry her?"

"This is too much of a concern. Now many couples can break up and marry again if they are not in harmony. Besides, it is normal for them to have not been married yet. If my brother is really worried about the lifelong event of Yunniang, then he can marry the Pan family. My grandson Pan Wu also likes Yunniang very much. It just so happened that it was a match made by heaven. What do you think?"

Cao Ping smiled faintly and said, "I just think it's a bit strange. Brother Pan also opposed the Northern Expedition in the Great Court. Why is Fan Zhixu dismissed from prime minister because he opposes the Northern Expedition? Why has Brother Pan changed his position again?"

"I didn't change my position, even Cai Xiangguo didn't change his position! Moreover, this matter seems to have nothing to do with the Northern Expedition, it is a case of a clique. You must not confuse the two."

"Brother Pan, why should I deceive myself? The emperor's edict does not have the word "Fan Party" at all. Someone is deliberately proclaiming that this is a party case. You and I know in our hearts that the fundamental reason why Fan Zhixu and the thirteen people were demoted was that they opposed the Northern Expedition and had nothing to do with the cliques. I, Cao Ping, only regretted that I had not become one of them. If I worked harder and became the initiator of the joint book, I would have been one of the thirteen people who were honored. Fortunately, I had a grandson-in-law to win glory for me. This was my luck in Cao Ping."

"you"

Pan Xu stood up in anger and said in a fury: "If my brother really becomes one of the 13th members of the Fan Party, I will break up with you first!"

Cao Ping couldn't bear it anymore, and he shouted loudly: "Supplement soup!"

"Okay! OK! Since my brother must accept Li Yanqing as his son-in-law, don't worry about my position. Sorry, don't give it to the Pan family, and I won't come if I give it to it."

"I don't care, please! I won't give it to you."

Pan Xu rushed out angrily and happened to meet Cao Xuan. He glared at Cao Xuan fiercely, turned around and walked quickly.

Cao Xuan came a little late and only heard his father and Uncle Pan’s fierce quarrel, but he didn’t know why.

At this time, Cao Ping also appeared at the door with anger on his face. Seeing that his son was going to see Pan Xu, he shouted: "You don't have to see him!"

Cao Xuan was startled. Did his father and Uncle Pan turn against each other? He hurried into the room and asked in a low voice: "Father, what happened?"

Cao Pingyu was not angry and said angrily: "He actually came to persuade me to cancel the marriage between Yanqing and Yuner. He forgot who rescued his nephew Pan Yue, an ungrateful bastard!"

Cao Xuan was so scared that his heart was pounding. Fortunately, he didn't speak, otherwise he would have been scolded by his father.

Cao Ping said angrily again: "What I can't accept even more is that he verbally attacked the Fan Party, and he couldn't figure out the right and wrong. He actually stood on the same line. I, Cao Ping, don't have such friends, and you won't be allowed to interact with the Pan family in the future!"

"Father is going to break up with Uncle Pan, no! Have you broken up with Pan Xu?"

"It's almost the same! Dao Di and don't make a decision. If he publicly supports Wang Fu, then it will be inevitable that the Pan and Cao families will break up."

Speaking of this, Cao Ping glanced at his son again, "What's wrong with you?"

"The child also came for Yanqing, and the child was very worried about him."

Cao Ping's face became softer and said to his son: "It is normal for you to worry about him, and I am also worried, but we should look further. Everything has its disadvantages and benefits. Although Yanqing was demoted today, it is likely that this will be the capital for his rise in the future."

"Father, will it?"

Cao Ping nodded, "As long as the prince does not fall, he will definitely do it!"

Cao Xuan finally found the reason to go back and explain to his wife. As long as his grandfather firmly supports this marriage, the wife has no choice but to accept it.

At this time, Cao Ping remembered something again and said to his son: "Will the new Baoyanzhai store open tomorrow?"

"That's right! Next to our Lianggong Weapons Shop, I'm going to go tomorrow."

"Tell me to my in-laws, even if I will go and congratulate you on the opening."
