Cao Qian slapped Cao Sheng on the head and stopped him in time: "What are you asking for? Don't you know that your grandfather's body is not clear to others? Can he withstand such a torment?"
Cao Sheng finally came to his senses and changed his words: "Then let him go to Cao Mansion."
"Okay, I'll just call His Highness King Jing and Prime Minister Xie to bear witness together." Mr. Zheng was determined.
Just as Cao Sheng was about to agree, Cao Qian glared at him angrily, and then explained: "My father is seriously ill and it is not suitable to see guests. He has always been in large numbers and will not care about such empty rumors."
Such rejections not only failed to dispel everyone's doubts, but also made them increasingly doubtful of the authenticity of the rumors.
Cao Qian also knew that this was inappropriate, but he couldn't think of a better way. In short, outsiders must not be allowed to see the 'Grand Master Cao' in his residence.
Otherwise, it will be exposed sooner or later.
As for the rumors, as long as he denies them, no one can do anything to him.
"Mr. Cao, have you heard me? It's not that I don't want to apologize. I can't see anyone. Who should I apologize to?" Mr. Zheng said provocatively.
Cao Sheng was so angry that he couldn't speak. He didn't understand why his father did this.
It is true that his grandfather is seriously ill, but people are not tofu. He can look at him and say a few words without breaking into pieces.
"This matter is not a big deal at all. It's all a misunderstanding. Let's end it here." Cao Qian wanted to reduce the big matter to a small matter, but it turned into a small matter.
But Mr. Zheng, who had been beaten, refused to do it: "This is not okay. Right and wrong must be clearly defined. If I am wrong, I will admit it. If not, I will not be beaten in vain."
After all, we are back to the original point.
Cao Qian stared at Cao Sheng, wishing he could hold his head and apologize.
But no one knows Cao Sheng's temper better than Cao Qian. Last year, when he made a big fuss in the Sun Mansion, he would rather receive thirty canes than make amends.
Today, Cao Sheng did not know the inside story and believed that it was someone else who cursed Grand Master Cao, so it was even less possible for him to bow his head and admit his mistake.
Whether this matter is serious or trivial, it also involves the reputation of Grand Master Cao and the Cao family. If he apologizes on behalf of Cao Sheng, it will be tantamount to confirming the rumors. It is really a dilemma.
Cao Qian's frown was about to twist into a knot.
During the stalemate, Yu Zheng spoke.
"Since Grand Master Cao is seriously ill and cannot see guests, then please ask the imperial physician to come and have a look. First, he can diagnose the illness for Grand Master Cao, and secondly, he can also be a witness for Grand Master Cao."
"It's a very good way to kill two birds with one stone." Taifu Zhou frowned and agreed greatly.
Yu Zheng looked at Master Zheng and others: "Master Zheng, do you agree?"
Yu Zheng had already spoken, and they were proud to give him some face.
"But it's up to the prince to make the decision." Zheng Langzhong said.
"Where's Mr. Cao?" Yu Zheng asked again.
Cao Qian couldn't refuse such a high-sounding reason to diagnose a disease for Master Cao, so he had no choice but to agree.
Looking at the darkening sky and the wedding banquet that had just started, Cao Qian said with an apologetic expression: "Today is the wedding day of Mr. Zhou and the eldest princess, so we really shouldn't cause trouble and disturb it. Besides, it's already getting late, so we'll invite the imperial doctor tomorrow. Come on over."
Yu Zheng and others knew Cao Qian's plan and did not expose it.
After discussing with Mr. Zheng, we decided to invite the imperial doctor to Cao Mansion tomorrow morning.
After the farce was over, Master Zhou smiled and asked everyone to go back to the table and continue drinking.
After this commotion, everyone was full of curiosity and expectations for what would happen tomorrow.
Cao Qian was absent-minded and racked his brains to think of countermeasures.
It is impossible to let the imperial doctor see it, otherwise it will be exposed.
Diseases can be faked and diagnosed on their own. The only way things have come to this point is...
"Master Cao, have a drink." Someone toasted to Cao Qian.
Cao Qian came back to his senses, forced a smile and drank with others.
Yu Zheng, who was at the other table, sat facing Cao Qian and had a panoramic view of Cao Qian's expression.
When Zhou Boxu came to Xie Qi'an with a toast, Xie Qi'an used the gesture of toasting and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Master Zhou, are you satisfied with this gift?"
Zhou Boxu glanced at him and replied with wine: "Thank you, Minister, for drinking more."
Xie Qi'an Congshan Ruliu said: "Master Zhou's wedding wine, of course, I need to drink a few more glasses."
The two clinked glasses and drank. After Zhou Boxu paid his respects, he turned to the next table.
The wedding banquet lasted until the end of Xu Shi. When Zhou Boxu saw off the guests and returned to the hospital, Zhuang Yun, who was accompanying Yu Lan, fell asleep.
Zhou Bexu entered the inner room and saw Zhuang Yun lying on his side on the bed covered with a bright red quilt, sleeping soundly, and Yu Lan was fanning him.
Seeing Zhou Boxu, Yu Lan put down his fan and felt a little embarrassed.
Zhou Bexu looked at Zhuang Yun and said, "I'll take him back to the house to sleep."
Yu Lan said: "No, just wake him up and let him go on his own."
Although Zhuang Yun is only nine years old, he is already very tall. Yu Lan has long been unable to carry him. Zhou Boxu is a man, so it should be very difficult for him.
"It doesn't matter. He finally fell asleep in a strange place for the first time. He was afraid that he would have trouble falling asleep again if he woke up." Zhou Poxu bent down and picked up Zhuang Yun easily.
There is also a side room in the main courtyard, which Zhou Boxu had already packed out for Zhuang Yun to live in.
Maybe he was really tired and sleepy. Zhuang Yun was sleeping soundly. Zhou Poxu carried him to the room, put him on the bed and took off his shoes. He just murmured a few words in his sleep, turned over and found a comfortable position, and Didn't wake up.
Looking at Zhuang Yun's sleeping face, Zhou Poxu smiled lovingly and pulled the thin quilt over him.
Afraid that Zhuang Yun would be overheated, Zhou Boxu went out of the room and ordered his maid to place an ice mirror in front of the bed.
After confirming everything, Zhou Boxu returned to his new house.
Yu Lan sat upright on the bed, wringing her hands slightly, shy and nervous.
Zhou Boxu walked to her and stood in front of her. He stretched out his hand to hold the heavy phoenix crown and gently took it off.
"Are you tired?" Zhou Boxu asked warmly.
Yu Lan said softly: "It's okay."
Zhou Bexu stared at Yu Lan, who was dressed in happy clothes, shy and timid, and felt as if he was in a dream.
Years of dreaming finally came true, but it felt unreal. He didn't even dare to reach out and touch it, for fear that the dream would be shattered.
"What's wrong?" Seeing him staring at her without speaking, Yu Lan asked in surprise.
Zhou Boxu gathered his thoughts, suppressed the surge in his heart and said, "You are beautiful today."
Yu Lan was naturally dignified and elegant, and her face was as beautiful as a pearl. I put on my makeup carefully today, and against the backdrop of the bright red wedding dress, my beauty is even more shocking.
"You...you are also very handsome." Yu Lanying's white cheeks were stained with crimson.
Zhou Poxu curved his lips, leaned over and kissed her forehead, and said patiently, "I'm sweating, so I'll take a shower first."
Yu Lan said smoothly: "I also want to take a bath."
It was a hot summer day, and although she didn't socialize outside, she was sweating after a day of hard work.
Zhou Poxu stamped his feet and looked back in astonishment: "You want to wash with me?"
"Ah?" Yu Lan was stunned.
Zhou Boxu thought she had agreed, returned to the bed, picked her up horizontally, and strode to the bathroom.
Thinking of what he said about washing together, Yu Lan flushed with shame and did not dare to look at Zhou Boxu.
The water temperature in the bath was just right. Zhou Boxu quickly took off his clothes. Finally, when he saw that Yu Lan was still holding his belt with his hands, he raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm here to serve the princess."
"No... no need. You go down first and don't look at me." Yu Lanxi's words were too bad to speak.
It was her first time to bathe with others, and she was really embarrassed.
