Late at night, inside Fengyu Villa.

"Uncle Cao, your injury is no longer a problem. Just rest well these days."

After Lu Chen bandaged Cao Guan, he gave him a blood-tonifying pill.

Fortunately, the three stabbings made by the opponent all avoided the vital points, otherwise the treatment would have been very troublesome.

"Xiao Lu, thanks to you tonight, thank you."

Cao Guan smiled, his eyes filled with relief.

I don't know since when, he has regarded Lu Chen as his best son-in-law.

"You're welcome, it's just a little effort."

Lu Chen smiled slightly and asked: "Uncle Cao, I'm a little curious. You can clearly dominate the audience, why did you stab yourself three times?"

The Cao family's secret guards are still in Cao Guan's hands. In the situation just now, as long as the opponent uses thunderous means to suppress the situation, I believe no one can resist.

Why is it that now we have no power or wealth?

"Today's incident, it is obvious that someone was obstructing it. If I suppress it with force, it will be difficult to convince the public, and it may even cause the Cao family to fall apart."

Cao Guan sighed softly: "The Cao family has been walking on thin ice in recent years, and its development has not been smooth. It has finally overcome the obstacles of the Black Witch Venerable. It is at a time when everything is waiting for prosperity. It really cannot withstand the torment. As long as the family can be stable. , if I feel a little wronged, what does it matter?"

"Uncle Cao's integrity is admirable, but it's a pity that you may not be able to do what you want if you sacrifice your life for righteousness." Lu Chen shook his head.

"Yes, Dad, you shouldn't quit this time."

Concubine Cao Xuan said with a serious face: "Uncle has changed. Although he used to love to show off, he didn't know how to plot against his own people. Look at him now. He will do whatever it takes to get the upper hand!"

"Your uncle is not evil-minded, he was just confused this time." Cao Guan's face was a little complicated.

What happened today was indeed a bit unexpected.

The brothers seemed to have suddenly become strangers.

"To be honest, what I'm worried about now is not Cao Jun, but Cao Zhiyuan."

Lu Chen poured a cup of tea for each of them, and then said: "This woman is ambitious and vicious. For her own glory and wealth, she will even kill her own clan. She is a ruthless character."

"You mean, Cao Zhiyuan was the one who interfered with this?" Concubine Cao Xuan frowned slightly.

"No, to be precise, it was Cao Zhiyuan and Guan Hong who were working together."

Lu Chen said meaningfully: "Uncle Cao, have you ever thought about why Shangguanhong wanted to marry the Cao family? If you can't marry Concubine Xuan, you have to hang out with Cao Zhiyuan."

"Why?" Cao Guan was a little surprised.

He initially thought that Shangguan Hong liked his daughter and at the same time made up for the shortcomings of the Shangguan family in business.

Now that I think about it carefully, it seems that is not the case.

"If I'm not wrong, Shangguan Hong must have other desires. Your Cao family has something that is very important to him, but he cannot steal it openly and can only plan it secretly." Lu Chen reminded.

"It's very important, but it can't be seen in the light."

After Cao Guan thought for a moment, his pupils shrank: "Could it be...a treasure map?"

"It should be right!"

Concubine Cao Xuan nodded: "Only the clan leader knows the treasure map. Cao Zhiyuan worked hard to support his uncle in the position just to help Shangguan Hong find out the whereabouts of the treasure map. This traitor is really cheating!"

It's nothing more than family fighting.

In the end, Cao Zhiyuan was lucky and directly lured the wolf into the house, even giving away the family's treasure.

Absolutely abominable!

"If it's really about the treasure map, then things will be in trouble."

Cao Guan frowned, thoughtfully.

The treasure buried by the ancestors of the Cao family would be as rich as the enemy's country, if Shangguanhong really got it.

Given the other party's ambition, it is very likely that he will establish himself as king.

By then, the consequences will be disastrous.

"It's a good plan to secretly add fuel to the flames, split the Cao family, and reap the benefits!" Lu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

I have to admit that Shangguan Hong is indeed brave, resourceful and wise.

The marriage failed, and they planned to force Cao Guan to abdicate, support Cao's army, and then plot the treasure.

It can be described as step by step.

The key is that the other party never showed up from the beginning to the end and has been hiding in the dark. This is the most terrifying point.

"Dad, you must not hand over the treasure map. The Cao family is now in disarray, good or bad. I plan to start a new one to take precautions before it happens." Concubine Cao Xuan said in a serious tone.

"It's okay to prepare for a rainy day, but it's not easy to set up your own business?" Cao Guan looked solemn.
