Cao Jiliang, who had saved his life but had his military power taken away, returned to his mansion to recuperate from his injuries.
Seeing a room full of wives and concubines standing there, he was in a bad mood and didn't bother to pay attention.
Young mistress Cao Bai stepped forward to comfort him: "My husband, why are you doing this? This is already a great blessing among misfortunes. When my husband recovers from his illness, it is not impossible to return to the command of the Zhennan Army. With my father-in-law here, it is not impossible."
Why worry?"
Cao Jiliang looked at her with a bad expression, and then frowned: "Take them all down and let me be quiet for a while."
"Yes!" The young mistress agreed obediently, stood up, waved her hand, turned and left with the other two concubines.
When Han Surong was about to turn around and leave, she was stopped by Cao Jiliang.
"Cousin!" He called her guiltily.
Han Surong stopped but did not turn around. However, the young lady who had already stepped out of the bedroom door immediately turned around and looked at Han Surong with a cold look in her eyes.
"There is no cousin of yours here, only Aunt Han. I wonder who the young master is calling her." Han Surong said coldly.
Cao Jiliang leaned on the bed and looked at her guiltily: "Cousin, it's my fault. I lost my moral character after drinking and ruined my cousin's life. It's up to my cousin whether I want to be beaten or scolded. You've always been in poor health, so don't show off again.
Brother is angry, okay?"
Han Surong still looked indifferent and said calmly without any hint of emotion: "The matter has come to an end. It is useless to talk more. The young master is injured, so it is better to rest and recuperate. I will retire."
She didn't give him a chance to speak again, and walked out of the room. When she passed by the young mistress and the other two concubines, she didn't even look at them, she looked very arrogant.
The young mistress was very unhappy because of her negligent behavior, but she was still very satisfied with what she had just done. However, when she looked inside the room again, she saw Cao Jiliang holding his head in annoyance, and she became worried again.
As soon as he walked out of the house, he saw Su Jin coming over with medicine.
She greeted the young mistress very politely: "Young mistress, take a look, this is the medicine you prepared to treat the young master's injuries. From my point of view, the young master's injuries are not too serious. After using the medicine for three days, it will only be enough."
It’s healed, but the pain in my heart may take a little longer.”
"In your heart?" After the young lady was stunned for a moment, she understood: "This is impossible. In fact, we don't expect him to make great achievements or achieve great achievements. His safety is not more important than anything else."
The other two concubines immediately agreed with her: "That's right, but seeing that he is very sad now, I don't know what the emperor thought, so he dismissed the commander of the army."
"Don't talk nonsense. The emperor's decision is something that women like you and I can discuss. If you don't control your mouth, it will cause trouble for your husband. Don't you think there are not many things at home?" The young lady stopped drinking immediately.
Their words.
"I know I was wrong." The two concubines immediately admitted their mistake.
After the young mistress glared at the two men again, she looked at Su Meng who was standing there obediently: "Serve the young master well and drink the medicine, then go back and rest. The young master needs to rest."
"I understand." Su Meng replied obediently.
After watching them leave, Su Meng entered the room.
After she carefully served Cao Jiliang and took the medicine, she placed the medicine bowl on the tray and bowed again: "Young master, rest in peace, I will leave."
"Wait a minute, are you the legitimate daughter of the Su family?" Cao Jiliang looked at Su Meng, who was now wearing plain clothes and no makeup, but she was a bit delicate.
She blessed her lower body again: "Yes, young master, it is my concubine."
Cao Jiliang raised his lips bitterly: "It's all my fault that I was drunk. You have been wronged. When you passed the door, I happened to be preparing to go on an expedition."
"I understand that it was not the young master's fault. I have never blamed the young master, because I know that the young master also made an unintentional mistake, but the effect of the medicine was too strong, which was not the young master's intention." Su Meng lowered her head slightly, obviously feeling aggrieved.
But he said it so humbly.
Cao Jiliang heard the key words in her words: "What effect does it have?"
Su Meng suddenly raised her head, and her surprised expression also made Cao Jiliang stunned. This look was really good, and it had a different kind of charm.
"Young master, you don't know?" Su Meng rolled her eyes and lowered her head in panic: "I'm talking too much. I hope you won't blame me, I'm going to leave."
"Stop, have I asked you to leave? Come here and explain something." Cao Jiliang pointed at her.
Su Meng turned around and knelt on the ground, lowering her voice as if in shock: "It's my fault, you shouldn't talk too much. Master, please spare me, otherwise, I will be beaten to death by the young mistress..."
"Where do you think Cao's Mansion is? Where did this kind of thing happen? Get up, don't be afraid, explain to me clearly that you will be spared, because with me here, no one will kill you.
, come here." Cao Jiliang said in a majestic tone.
Su Meng's downcast eyes flashed with a smile of success. She stood up carefully, put the tray in her hand back on the table, and then carefully moved towards Cao Jiliang.
Standing in front of his bed, he still lowered his head and dared not raise his head to look at him.
"You are a medical practitioner. How serious is my injury?" Seeing that she was so frightened, Cao Jiliang couldn't ask directly anymore, so he could only ask something else first.
"I only learned my father's medical skills, which is just superficial. The young master's injury is not serious. If you take medicine for three days and apply some trauma medicine, you will be healed within ten days. You can rest assured, young master." Su Meng answered in a low voice.
"What did you mean when you just said that my rudeness that day was caused by drugs?" He turned back.
Su Meng first looked at the door of the house and saw no one, then she looked at Cao Jiliang: "Master, this matter is not a secret, but it cannot be said openly in this house. This is also where Aunt Han has always been resentful. I hope
Master, please enlighten Aunt Han more and let her untie this knot, which will be very beneficial to her condition."
"You mean, this young master has taken advantage of others?" Cao Jiliang asked, "Rong'er's illness..."
After Su Meng looked at the door again, she said: "Yes, that day, the young master did indeed lose his etiquette after taking the medicine. Aunt Han's illness is no longer serious, but she has a heavy heart. I hope the young master
Please enlighten her more."
"Where did that medicine come from?" Cao Jiliang's expression was a little ugly.
Su Meng pursed her lips, not daring to answer, and finally knelt in front of him, looking at him with pleading eyes.
"If I ask you to speak, just say it. With me here, what are you afraid of?" Cao Jiliang reached out and pinched her chin.
Su Meng said with tears in her frightened eyes: "Yes, it's the eldest lady. She was originally going to attack His Royal Highness Prince Chen and the Young Marquis of Yanyang, but she was accidentally eaten by the young master, so that's why..."
Cao Jiliang let go of her chin, his eyes were filled with chills, and he looked apologetically at the tearful and pitiful Su Meng: "In the future, I will never let you be wronged again, as long as I am here."
Su Meng responded obediently: "Thank you, Master!" But a smile flashed in her eyes.
