Do you usually like to eat sweets? You also said that your brother has ulterior motives, wu wu wu... give me your opinions!" Cai Shuang cried to Cai He and others in Cai Mansion.
Cai He, who looked a bit young, was at a loss to deal with his sister's crying, and at the same time looked awkwardly at the other people in the central hall - yes, Kuai Yue, Pang Ji and other people from the Nanjun family were also present at this time!
This also made Cai He feel embarrassed...
After Cai Xi's death, the Cai family was Cai Mao's boss. Now that Cai Mao is gone, Cai Hecai has stepped in to take over the post. How can he suppress "Mrs. Cai's" behavior?
At this time, the Nanjun gentry were gathering together to discuss the unfavorable rumors about Cai Mao. Cai Shuang happened to come to cry at this time. They also wanted to take the opportunity to find out Liu Biao's reaction, but...
"What? You are all silent now? Who asked me to marry that heartless person in the first place? You are really... wu wu wu... after daddy died, you teamed up with the heartless person to bully me, a womanly family!"
Cai Shuang and Cai He Sapo were not satisfied, so they started looking for other people to cry.
Kuai Yue and others were also embarrassed, and with Cai Shuang's identity, it was not easy for them to scold them!
In name, she is their mistress, but in actual value... No matter how stupid Cai Shuang is, she is also an important link for the unity of the Nanjun family and the representative of the interests of the Nanjun family in Jingzhou Prefecture.
Therefore, the others could only comfort her with kind words, like coaxing a child. They coaxed Cai Shuang back first, and promised her one by one that they would persuade Liu Biao later. At the same time, they were also trying to reason with Cai Shuang secretly - don't be the same as him.
, that position will belong to your son sooner or later...and this requires our joint efforts!
Cai Shuang, as if she had taken advantage, returned to the State Mufu Mansion, but...
Others wouldn't know that as soon as Cai Shuang returned to the car, the shrewish expression that she had previously shown to be both domineering and aggrieved instantly disappeared and was replaced by an indifferent expression.
Moreover...the coachman and the maid were all the same, but there was another person in the carriage - Huang Chengyan!
"Brother-in-law, you asked me to pretend, so I pretended." Cai Shuang said indifferently.
"I'm sorry for you... If you don't let them think you are easy to fool, how can they safely support Cong'er?" Huang Chengyan comforted him in a broad voice.
"Yes." Cai Shuang's response was simple.
On the contrary, Huang Chengyan became even more embarrassed, so he had to whisper at a volume that Cai Shuang could not hear: "This time... I will definitely not fail again!"
"Yes." Cai Shuang responded simply.
On the other hand, in the Cai Mansion, Cai He carefully apologized to the others. After all, he was not the head of the Cai family, and now that Cai Mao was under suspicion, his momentum was inevitably a little weaker.
However, Kuai Yue and others comforted him with words of comfort, and assured that everyone was in the same boat and would not see Cai Mao being suspected...
They naturally understood that the reason why Liu Biao was so angry was because there was too much sugar in Bai Gong meat?
Liu Biao thought of the commercial activities of Nanjun and Yangzhou from the inflow of white sugar and rock sugar in Xiangyang City, as well as the large number of white colored glazes, and then thought of the "truce" in Jiangxia.
A woman like Mrs. Cai doesn't know why men are angry...
Only someone as "naive" as Cai Shuang thought that Liu Biao was angry just because Bai Gong's meat was too sweet!
However, they did not know that the "naive" Cai Shuang, in addition to deliberately acting brainlessly and aggressively, also used the art of language to exaggerate Liu Biao's reaction.
This made Kuai Yue and others regard Liu Biao's suspicion as irrepressible dissatisfaction...
Perhaps Liu Biao's suspicion was not just "a little bit", but what is certain is that he just lost his temper at the dinner table. If Kuai Yue, Cai He and others were present, Liu Biao would most likely not have lost his temper.
Liu Biao was suspicious of Cai Mao, at least not to the extent that he wanted to bring the matter to light and argue with the Nanjun nobles.
But according to Cai Shuang's description, Liu Biao was almost ready to kill someone with a knife, and even accused Cai Mao directly in front of Cai Shuang...
The relationship between Liu Biao and Cai Shuang is more than just an ordinary couple. Every word he and Cai Shuang say cannot be regarded as simple private conversations and household matters!
After Cai Shuang's exaggeration, Kuai Yue and others misjudged the situation and became more active in excusing Cai Mao at the monthly meeting two days later. The result...naturally made Liu Biao even more angry.
Originally, Liu Biao was wary of the Nanjun gentry. Although under his management over the years, he had not become a puppet and had his own confidants and influence in Jingzhou Mansion, but now seeing the Nanjun gentry unite, it further aroused his suspicion.
The doubts of Nanjun people!
When Kuai Yue saw Liu Biao's eyes filled with anger and his face still pretending to be calm, he realized that he was being controlled by him.
However, when he wanted to secretly remind others not to mention Cai Mao to Liu Biao for the time being, it was already too late...
Although Liu Biao did not accuse Cai Mao of collaborating with the enemy, he smiled and mentioned that Mrs. Cai missed her younger brother, so he wanted to transfer Cai Mao back to Xiangyang on the pretext of transferring Cai Mao back to Xiangyang. At the same time... he appointed his eldest son Liu Qi as the prefect of Jiangxia and the governor of Jiangxia's military affairs!
The excuse that Mrs. Cai misses her brother is very lame.
However, in this stall, everyone knows that if you do not accept this decent statement, it will only bring more disgraceful results.
Obviously Liu Biao no longer trusts Cai Mao and wants to forcibly relinquish his military power...
Even...this distrust has spread to the entire Nanjun gentry. The person who succeeded Cai Mao was not any member of the Nanjun gentry, but Liu Biao's eldest son who had fallen out of favor!
A group of aides from the Nanjun gentry secretly observed Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang. When they saw that the two brothers were silent, they had no choice but to temporarily acquiesce in Liu Biao's statement and let Cai Mao come back to reunite with his sister. They even handed over the information of the Nanjun gentry.
A naval force cultivated with hard work.
There is no other way. The Kuai brothers' judgment is that they cannot further intensify the conflict with Liu Biao now. It is okay to hand over a naval force to Liu Qi first. There will be opportunities to make up for it in the future, but if they mess up their position now, the consequences will be disastrous.
Liu Qi never thought that such a good thing would happen...
In the past few years, under the instigation of the Nanjun nobles, Liu Biao's idea of ​​abolishing the eldest son and establishing a younger son became more and more obvious. His eldest son did not have any real power, and even...now that Liu Biao was a little sick, he did not do anything about it.
Delegated.
As the nominal eldest son, Liu Qi could do almost nothing in Xiangyang except "fulfilment of filial piety"...
Unexpectedly, Cai Mao's ulterior motives would lead to such a change. Liu Qi's previous filial piety was not in vain. After Liu Biao doubted the Nanjun nobles, he still chose to believe his son.
At the same time, this is also a blow to the Nanjun nobles - I, Liu Biao, am still alive, and in Jingzhou... I still have the final say!
But this beating also made the Nanjun nobles even more nervous. They didn't want to see Liu Qi's heir, even if it was just a sign...
