Chapter 489 Dispute
General Cao, who was highly skilled in martial arts, had an unsteady pace at the moment. With trembling hands, he pushed aside the crowd of onlookers and walked cautiously to Cao Fangruo. He wanted to raise his hand to touch her hair to confirm whether this person really existed.
This must be his daughter Fangruo, whose age matches and whose appearance is almost the same as his beloved Yan'er! He told himself secretly in his heart.
If Cao Fangruo took a step back, General Cao's hand would freeze in mid-air.
Seeing that Cao Fangruo was looking at him as if he were a stranger, General Cao's lips trembled slightly and he said, "Fangruo, it's daddy, don't you recognize daddy?"
Although Cao Fangruo looked calm at this moment, her heart was in a mess. She had previously thought that her father, Zhao Ting'er and Cao Fangqing had conspired to kill her, and she was full of hatred for him. After returning from the Prime Minister's Mansion, she was happy to know that he was not involved in the incident. However, when she saw her biological father whom she had not seen for many years, she could not get close to him no matter what. She subconsciously avoided his contact. The word "Dad" was stuck in her throat and she could not say it out loud.
She no longer hated him, but she no longer had any admiration for him.
"What's going on? Didn't the eldest daughter of the general's mansion fall off a cliff and die many years ago?"
"Yes, it's been so many years, how come it suddenly appears again?"
"Who knows, Miss Cao might be so blessed that she survived the disaster!"
"What does the old general mean by being in charge? Is there any hidden reason behind Miss Cao's fall from the cliff?"
......
More and more people gathered in front of the jewelry shop to watch the fun.
"Oh my! Sister, is this your biological father who conspired with your stepmother and second sister to kill you? It's true that you can't judge a person by his appearance. He looks so handsome and upright, but I didn't expect him to be such a vicious guy! Bah! What? Seeing that my sister Cao survived a disaster, you want to harm her again? I warn you, stay away from my sister Cao, or we will beat you to a pulp!"
When Damazi's mother saw Cao standing there in a daze without saying a word, she knew that this was her vicious father. She stepped forward, pulled Cao behind her, and then pulled Lin Xi and the other two to her side to protect her. She pointed at General Cao and cursed him. After cursing, she was still not satisfied and spat at him!
Yuanyuan's usually smiling face was now as cold as ice. She moved her little hand slightly, and some fine powder fell onto General Cao's body.
Daya clenched her fists so tightly that they made a creaking sound, ready to take action at any time.
When the crowd heard the curse from Damazi’s mother, they suddenly went into an uproar.
"I told you, if there's a stepmother, there's a stepfather!"
"Other stepmothers would at most mistreat the children left by the previous wife. How could they be so vicious as to kill the children?"
"What the woman said may not be true. Keep watching. Keep watching."
......
"You are so bold, woman. You want to slander the great general, his wife, and the wife of Marquis Anyang with nothing in your mouth. How many heads do you have?"
"My mother is gentle and virtuous, how could she possibly kill my eldest sister? You shrew, come with me to the government office, I want the adults to punish you for slander!"
When Cao Fangqing's two sons saw their grandfather coming and were about to bow to him, they were shocked to hear his words of recognition. Then, when they heard the unfounded slander from Damazi's mother, they became angry and rushed forward, wanting to take her to the yamen to be punished.
Wang Siruo watched this scene, and while no one was paying attention, she sneaked out with her maid and ran back to the mansion to find her mother.
Lin Xi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, great, this saves us trouble!
"Hey, hey! When your vicious mother pushed her eldest sister off the cliff, you were not even here yet. What are you two yelling about! Didn't you say you were going to the government office? That's perfect. Let's go there and ask the judge to seek justice for my sister Cao and bring this vicious family of three to justice!"
The big-headed mother jumped up and pointed at the two young masters' noses and cursed them. After cursing, she retreated and shouted to the noble ladies who were originally choosing jewelry on the second and third floors and the crowd outside: "You have never seen such a vicious stepmother, sister and father. If you want to watch the fun, come with us to the government office!"
Lin Xi had already seen his elder brothers outside the crowd messaging him. They had already brought back the witnesses, so he messaged Damazi's mother, asking her to continue making a fuss, the bigger the better. At the same time, he messaged Cao, Daya and Yuanyuan, telling them that now was a good time and they should follow the two sons of Marquis Anyang.
"So many years have passed, some things should be settled. Since the two gentlemen want to go to the government office, then please go!"
Cao Fangruo had now come out of the complicated emotions of seeing her biological father. She walked out from behind Damazi's mother and said to the two sons of Marquis Anyang.
After saying that, she strode outside. She knew the way to the government office in the capital.
She ignored General Cao who was staring at her with a look of anxiety and guilt, and when she heard Damazi's mother say that he was involved in harming her, she had no intention of clearing the air for him.
When Damazi's mother saw Cao leaving, she quickly trotted over to her side to accompany her. Lin Xi, Daya and Yuanyuan followed behind them, guarding them secretly.
The crowd who came to watch the fun also followed.
"Grandpa, is that person really our aunt? Is that woman just talking nonsense?"
The two young masters of Anyang Marquis's Mansion were a little uneasy at the moment. Why weren't these people afraid of going to the government office? Could it be that what the woman said was true? No, their mother, grandfather, and grandmother couldn't be such people. The two of them stared at General Cao closely, wanting to hear a denial from him.
"Let's go to the government office! I'll be there in a moment!"
General Cao did not answer them. He looked deeply at his daughter's back and strode towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The two men had no choice, as they were the ones who first said they wanted to go to the government office. If they escaped now, it would seem like they were guilty. So they followed General Cao's advice and led the guards who had just gotten up to go to the government office.
At this time, several exclamations came from General Cao's Mansion and Anyang Marquis' Mansion at the same time: "What! Order someone to prepare a car and go to the government office quickly!"
