I have a splitting headache and my throat is terribly dry. I’d better not drink anymore. This time I’m embarrassed in front of Master again.
Outside the house, noisy noises kept coming.
"Cao Yun"
Cao Hua called out, and a moment later, Cao Yun came in with a water glass and presented it to Cao Hua.
Cao Hua took the water glass and took a sip. It was neither hot nor cold, just warm water.
The dryness in my throat was relieved a little, and the noise outside became even more harsh.
"What's going on outside?"
Cao Hua asked in a hoarse voice.
Cao Yun looked outside. The light on the table made her cheeks darker.
"It's not like those old stubborns, with their messy talk, pissed off the Gao Gao Lieutenant who sent you back, and was thrown out of the house by the Gao Gao Lieutenant."
"Now you are standing in front of the house, causing trouble."
Upon hearing this, Cao Hua drank all the water in the cup, reached out and pulled the robe hanging by the bed, stepped on his boots and got up:
"I'll go take a look."
Cao Yun muttered beside him:
"They are not good people. You don't care what they do. This is the house given to you by His Majesty. Not to mention that they have taken over it and they will not let you live in a big house. It's a good thing for Gao Xiaowei to throw it away."
Cao Hua scolded him while getting dressed:
"You, you, am I thinking about myself?"
"I am the prince's disciple, and the high school captain represents the prince. Let these bastards from the Cao family spread it outside, and it will ruin the prince's reputation."
After putting on his clothes, Cao Hua once again transformed into the general fighting on the battlefield:
"Whoever dares to damage the reputation of Master, I, Cao Hua, will sworn in with him."
After finishing speaking, Cao Hua strode out of the house, crossed the courtyard, and walked along the corridor towards the main door.
At the gate, Gao Dabao and several guards stood with their swords in hand, looking at the young and old of the Cao family who were yelling and scolding, their faces became increasingly ugly.
If they weren't worried about the impeachment of the imperial censor, if they weren't worried that killing them would damage the prince's reputation, these bastards should all deserve to die.
"This is not the solution, boss, we still have to go back to the palace."
The guard next to him reminded Gao Dabao.
Gao Dabao clenched the knife in his hand, looked at the young and old Cao family, Cao Hua's relatives, who were as fleshy as a hob, and sneered:
"Go back to the palace? There's no need to go back. I'll go to the Heavenly Prison to surrender later. If you chop off one head, it's a beheading. If you chop off twelve heads, it's a beheading."
Gao Dabao did not hide his voice. In the empty dark night, this voice was quite cold.
In an instant, everything fell silent in front of the mansion.
Everyone in the Cao family who was causing trouble finally realized that they seemed to really want to anger the young general standing on the steps, the personal guard next to the prince. Such a person would not care about the reputation of General Cao.
Cao Hua left the mansion, stood on the steps, and said with a cold face:
"From now on, I, Cao Hua, have nothing to do with you. You guys, go back and tell Cao Bao. If you want to use my name, Cao Hua, in the future, be careful."
Among the Cao family members, the third uncle who had the closest relationship with Cao Hua immediately became angry:
"Cao Hua, you are forgetting your roots. The family has never owed you anything. Now that you are prosperous, you want to kick the family away and not be your son."
Cao Hua's eyes swept across the crowd. After Cao Hua took one look at his third uncle, he couldn't curse him anymore. He only dared to slander Cao Hua in his heart for being barbaric.
Cao Hua walked down the steps, pulled out the sword of the guard next to him, put it on the neck of the third uncle's son, and said coldly:
"Old man, I have tolerated you for a long time. The reason why I tolerate you is not because I am afraid of you, nor because I am afraid of being ruined by you."
"I'm just afraid that Master will have a bad impression of me and think that I disrespect my elders and lack respect for them."
"Now I know, my master doesn't care about this at all. As long as I am good, he will not pay attention to what you say or do. You can even say that, because of me, master will not deal with you."
"That's why I will take care of you at special times, and that will allow you to survive the repeated party disputes through the name of Prince Anguo."
Now it's all over."
Cao Hua took back the knife, put it in the scabbard again, and said coldly:
"Everyone in the Cao family is greedy and has repeatedly violated my rules. From today on, you will be expelled from the Cao family. If Cao Bao has any objections to this, you can ask me about the knife in my hand."
"Now, get out."
Following Cao Hua's scolding, the general's personal guards surrounded them, pointing their swords at the Cao family members who were still in shock.
An hour later, the third uncle sat in Cao Bao's house and cried to Cao Bao, the new patriarch of the Cao family, about what had just happened.
Cao Bao's face was ugly. This Cao Hua was so courageous that she even ignored the ethics and morals. Is she really not afraid of offending Su Lu because of this?
Su Lu is her biggest supporter. If Su Lu knows that she disrespects her elders and loses Su Lu's leadership, she will be nothing.
"How did you get into trouble with the Sulu guards?"
Cao Bao asked his third uncle what he had said, his face full of hatred.
This good-for-nothing old man had told him a long time ago to catch Cao Hua in the palm of his hand by relying on family ties. Now, Su Lu's guards came to the door and let Cao Hua take advantage of him and put on such a play.
It's no wonder that the old guy is so greedy. If you had known better, Cao Hua would have found an opportunity to deal with you. In the end, he held his nose and recognized your relationship.
The third uncle was a little shocked when he heard this and said unhappily:
"How could we hate the Su Lu guards? They are also the prince's guards after all. No matter how bold we are, we don't dare to offend the prince's guards."
Cao Bao snorted coldly:
"You don't dare, yes, you don't dare."
"They blocked the door and scolded Gao Dabao for not giving up his official title and cutting off your family's heads. How dare he dare to offend the prince's bodyguards."
The third uncle's face turned red, his head lowered, his voice helpless.
"Chief, what should we do about this?"
Cao Bao snorted coldly:
"What should we do? We should do it properly."
"Since she, Cao Hua, is unkind, don't blame the clan for being unjust. She has enjoyed the benefits of the clan for so many years and now she should spit it out."
"Tomorrow, I will activate intra-clan relations and work with our in-laws and old friends to let her, Cao Hua, know that our Cao family is a powerful family. Without our Cao family, she is nothing."
The third uncle was as happy as a three-year-old child and said excitedly:
"Yes, let her know that our Cao family is not someone to be trifled with, and my old man will not let her bully him. He will pay the price."
Cao Bao glanced at his third uncle and suddenly snorted:
"When Cao Hua relents, the big house will no longer belong to your family. It must be donated and shared among the clan."
The third uncle was a little reluctant and struggled to say:
"I put a lot of effort into that house, and my family has a lot of money."
"Okay, okay, clan leader, you have the final say."
Under the patriarch's gaze, the third uncle wholeheartedly agreed to the patriarch's suggestion. Although his face was full of pain, he was already planning in his heart, how to plan in order to occupy the largest share of the mansion.
