Cai Jing snorted coldly, looked at the cold branches still hanging from the window and said:

"The old man has been waiting for this day for a long time, and this time he will definitely be in Xixia."

"In this way, I can relieve the pain of the old man's loss of a son..."

"Go and tell Cao Bin's messenger that I have asked him to meet in Pan Lou tomorrow to discuss important matters."

Princess Zhaoyang blushed and said.

She clutched the silk handkerchief tightly, her heart was beating wildly, and she was extremely nervous.

At this time, the female officer beside her hesitated for a moment and asked:

"Princess, what are you?"

If we want to discuss things, we can just invite Cao Bin to the princess mansion directly. Why do we need to go to Pan Tower?

Princess Zhaoyang glared at her, and said angrily:

"Don't ask if you shouldn't, do you want to be whipped again?"

When the female officer heard the words, she trembled in fright, and she didn't dare to say more, so she had to go out to deliver the letter.

In the anxious mood of the princess, she quietly took the female officer to Panlou on the second day.

When she got downstairs, she asked, "Has Cao Bin arrived yet?"

The female officer said bitterly: "Go back to the princess, Uncle Zhongjing has arrived."

After finishing speaking, she persuaded unwillingly:

"Princess, if outsiders find out about this, your reputation will be ruined."

If the palace knows, she, the female official who supervises the princess's etiquette, will also be punished, so she is very reluctant.

Princess Zhaoyang hesitated for a moment, and said bitterly:

"Didn't Chen Shimei say that Bengong had an affair with Cao Bin? I can't bear the charge for nothing."

"Besides, as long as you don't tell it, who will know?"

When the female officer saw that the princess had finally revealed her plan, she was terrified and turned pale with fright, and quickly persuaded:

"There is no impenetrable wall in the world. If Uncle Zhongjing tastes the sweetness and holds on to it, what will the princess do?"

"Besides, the son-in-law is a good-looking talent. Is it true that we can't get along with him? At that time, the queen mother will probably not allow it."

Princess Zhaoyang froze for a moment, hesitated and said:

"Then... go back?"

It suddenly occurred to her that Cao Bin had always been lawless and courageous, and she would definitely not be able to control him, and it would be over if she entangled herself.

Seeing the princess let go, the female officer was overjoyed, and quickly ordered the carriageway:

"Quick, hurry back to the house."

Just after returning to the gate of the mansion, Princess Zhaoyang saw from a distance that the butler was instructing his servants to drive away a woman.

The woman was in her thirties with two children of about ten years old.

She opened the curtain and asked, "What's going on?"

The housekeeper said: "Princess, that's a crazy woman. If she insists on confessing her relatives, the son-in-law asked us to drive her away."

Seeing that the woman had gone away, Princess Zhaoyang didn't ask any further questions.

She is a little guilty now, she is afraid of bumping into Chen Shimei, and just wants to go back to the room and calm down.

Cao Bin was let go of the pigeons for no reason, and was very depressed, but he didn't care too much, and went back to his house to accompany his wife and concubine.

The woman with the child is Chen Shimei's original partner, Qin Xianglian.

Now that her parents-in-law are dead and her life is unsustainable, she had to take her two children to Beijing to find relatives.

Because she had no savings, along the way, she took her two children to beg for a living, and it took a lot of hard work to get to the capital.

What made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave was that Chen Shimei turned her face and refused to recognize anyone.

In the Bianjing city of Nuoda, she was unfamiliar with the place, had no relatives, and had two children waiting to be fed. She didn't know what to do.

If this continues, their mother and son will starve to death in the capital.

At this moment, two passers-by suddenly discussed:

"Master Bao is just and strict, and has never been wrongly convicted..."

Her eyes lit up immediately, and she immediately asked passers-by about the location of Kaifeng Mansion...

Three nights later, there was a ruined temple outside the city.

With 300 taels of silver in her pocket, Qin Xianglian temporarily rests here.

She plans to return to her hometown with her children.

Bao Zheng has made it clear to her that if she continues to sue, Chen Shimei will only die.

After all, she couldn't bear to see Chen Shimei die, so she could only accept the money personally donated by Bao Zheng and withdraw the case.

"Mom, I'm afraid!"

Looking at the wind and rain outside the window, knocking the dilapidated temple door, the girl shivered.

Qin Xianglian's face was full of bitterness, and she hugged her two children in her arms and said:

"Sister Chun is not afraid, there is a mother!"

Chunmei wept and said, "Mother, dad doesn't want us?"

Before Qin Xianglian could speak, the boy said angrily:

"He is not our father. When I grow up, I must seek revenge from him!"

At this moment, there was a loud bang, and the gate of the ruined temple was kicked open.

A man holding a steel knife barged in fiercely, his eyes full of murderous intent, staring closely at Qin Xianglian's mother and son.

Qin Xianglian hurriedly protected the two children behind her, tremblingly said:

"Master Jun, I'll give you all the money, please don't hurt us."

The man asked, "Are you Qin Xianglian?"

Qin Xianglian froze for a moment, and was about to speak.

The man said: "Don't talk nonsense, on Huangquan Road, you mother and son, don't blame me!"

As he said that, if he advanced and followed him, he would raise his knife and chop it down.

Qin Xianglian's mind turned sharply, and she suddenly thought of something, and exclaimed:

"Chen Shimei sent you here! The concubine has already withdrawn the pleadings, and he wants to kill his wife and son?"

As she spoke, she kowtowed again and again with tears in her eyes:

"Master Jun, it doesn't matter if you kill the concubine, let's spare the two children."

The man stopped immediately and said in surprise: "Kill your wife and son? You are the wife of the son-in-law?"

At this time, the boy rushed out suddenly, hugged his thigh and said, "Don't kill my mother..."

Hearing Qin Xianglian explain the truth of the matter, the man sighed and said:

"I can't disobey the order of the son-in-law, and I can't do such unconscionable things for him, no matter what!"

After finishing speaking, he put the steel knife on his neck, and wanted to kill himself!

At this moment, an angry female voice came in:

"Han Qi, who do you want to kill?"

Hearing this, the man was startled, quickly dropped the steel knife, and fell to his knees:

"Princess?"

The gate of the temple was wide open, and Cao Bin and Princess Zhaoyang came in surrounded by several attendants.

Cao Bin smiled and said, "Princess, I'm not wrong, there's a good show to watch here."

Princess Zhaoyang ignored him, stared at Han Qi with wide almond eyes and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Seeing Han Qi's hesitation, Princess Zhaoyang said, "Could it be that you are loyal to Chen Shimei, not to me?"

Han Qi had no choice but to tell the story of Chen Shimei sending him to kill his wife and son.

Princess Zhaoyang was trembling with anger, gritted her teeth and said angrily:

"This wolf-hearted thing not only deceives the queen mother and the palace, but also does such a wicked thing."

When Qin Xianglian heard this, she also understood the identity of the visitor, and hurriedly stepped forward to kowtow, and said in awe:

"Princess...princess, spare me!"

For an ordinary woman like her, the princess is a figure in the sky.

Princess Zhaoyang's expression tightened, and she said, "You..."

For a while, she didn't know how to deal with it. At this time, the female officer beside her stepped forward and said:

"Woman, kill yourself!"

Princess Zhaoyang was about to speak, when the female officer hurriedly said:

"Princess, it's about the face of the royal family. You don't want everyone to know about it. It's a disaster to keep this person."

"The matter of the son-in-law is another story. If one day she goes to sue again, you will lose all face."

Hearing this, Princess Zhaoyang immediately hesitated.

Qin Xianglian's face turned pale when she heard the words, and she was about to pick up the steel knife trembling.

Seeing this, her two sons and daughters hugged her and cried:

"Mother, mother, I don't want you to die."

Cao Bin was speechless, grabbed Qin Xianglian's steel knife, and said angrily to the female officer:

"Shut up, you don't have a place to talk here, get out!"

The female officer glared and was about to argue, but the princess said: "Cao Bin, she is right..."

Cao Bin covered her mouth, picked her up and walked out:

"It was a wrong decision for me to bring you here!"

Princess Zhaoyang struggled in panic and shouted: "Cao Bin, you are bold, put down this palace quickly."

Cao Bin did not answer, but ordered:

"Bring everyone back to the Hou Mansion."

Everyone was stunned, Han Qi panicked, and was about to chase after him with a knife, but was knocked down by the sedan chair, and cursed:

"Do you dare to be presumptuous?"

"Didn't you hear the young master's order, follow me!"

Qin Xianglian was stunned, this person even dared to offend the princess?

But she was full of gratitude in her heart, and quickly asked, "Who is this?"

Han Qi got up covered in cold sweat, smiled wryly and said:

"With Uncle Cao making the decision for you, the son-in-law will be in trouble..."

Zhongjing Hou's Mansion, the Nuan Pavilion of the Second Entry Court.

"Princess, you released my pigeon last time, so you can't escape this time?"

"Cao Bin, you are presumptuous, let me go...don't do this."

Hearing the movement in the room, the female officer became anxious immediately, hurriedly walked a few steps, and broke into the room regardless of the obstruction of the sedan chair.

Seeing this, the sedan chair blinked innocently, laughed twice, and stood with its hips akimbo like a door god.
