The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 242 General Cao cooperates with the Prime Minister's Office

The old prime minister and the other two looked at each other, and only then did they believe that he really wanted to avenge Cao Fangruo.

"What are you going to do about Cao Fangqing?"

Leng Linglong thought that he had not finished explaining how to deal with Cao Fangqing, so she couldn't help but ask.

"Fang Qing is my daughter after all. I can't bring myself to do anything to her. I'll leave her to the Prime Minister's Mansion for disposal!"

General Cao closed his eyes and spoke in a low voice.

After saying these words, his chest ached a few times. He couldn't bear to see his daughter die, but since she had done something wrong, she had to pay the price.

"Okay! I believe Yan'er's spirit in heaven will be relieved when she knows your decision!"

The old prime minister looked at General Cao and said with satisfaction.

Leng Linglong and Zhao Junhuan also sat aside and nodded with satisfaction. It is only natural to pay with one's life and to repay one's debt. Fortunately, General Cao is not confused.

When General Cao heard the old prime minister mention Yan'er, he looked at him and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

He guessed that Yan'er might have suffered a hemorrhage due to someone's miscarriage, but it was just his guess. Now there was no evidence, and he didn't know whether he should tell the old prime minister about this matter.

"What do you want to say?"

The old prime minister looked at General Cao's hesitant expression and asked.

"Mr. Prime Minister, I think Yan'er's hemorrhage that year might not have been an accident!"

After hearing what General Cao said, the old prime minister and the other two exchanged glances, as if they were discussing whether or not to tell General Cao about Zhao Yan'er's murder.

Seeing that the three people didn't look surprised after hearing what he said, General Cao widened his eyes. Could it be that Yan'er was really murdered by someone, and the Prime Minister's Mansion knew about it!

"Old Prime Minister, do you know something? Yan'er was murdered by someone, right? Who murdered her? I will cut that person into pieces!"

Seeing General Cao clenching his fists and looking furious, the old prime minister sighed and decided to tell him their discovery.

They needed to investigate the servants in the General's Mansion. If they told him, as the master of the General's Mansion, it would be much easier for him to investigate these matters than in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

He is deeply in love with Yan'er, and I believe he will do his best to find the murderer!

After thinking about it, the old prime minister ordered Zhao Junhuan to bring Zhao Yan'er's longevity lock.

He pointed at the longevity lock on the table and asked General Cao, "Do you recognize this item?"

"I recognize it. This is the longevity lock that Yan'er wore when she was pregnant with Fangruo! Is there something wrong with it?"

General Cao couldn't help but take the longevity lock in his hand and checked it over and over again, but found nothing.

Seeing this, Zhao Junhuan stepped forward, opened the longevity lock, and said to General Cao: "This longevity lock has been put with a medicine that has a strong blood-activating effect. If a pregnant woman wears it for a long time, she will either have a miscarriage or die of hemorrhage during childbirth!"

General Cao's hands creaked when he heard this, and his eyes were cold. He suppressed his inner anger, looked at Zhao Junhuan and asked, "Who did all this?"

At this time, the old prime minister said, "We haven't found the murderer yet. Yan'er once put this longevity lock in a temple and asked a senior monk to consecrate it. I have sent people to keep an eye on the monks in the temple. We have been investigating the nanny who accompanied Yan'er back then. According to Zhu'er, it was this nanny's idea for Yan'er to go to the silver shop, and it was also her idea to put this longevity lock in the temple for consecration. You are the master of the general's mansion, do you know where the nanny went?"

"I remember that after Yan'er passed away, Zhao Ting'er took that nanny with her. Later, I didn't notice when she disappeared. I sent someone to investigate after I returned!"

Thinking of the old prime minister mentioning his son Cao Zhu, General Cao looked at the old prime minister and asked, "Old prime minister, from what you said, Zhu'er knows that Fang Ruo was killed by Zhao Ting'er and Fang Qing? Does he also know that his mother was killed by someone?"

After seeing the Prime Minister nod, General Cao took a few steps back and muttered, "No wonder he suddenly turned against the General's Mansion some time ago! But why didn't he tell me these things? If I knew, I would definitely avenge Yan'er and her daughter!"

"Cousin Cao Zhu thought that the general was also involved in harming cousin Fang Ruo!"

Zhao Junhuan explained to him.

"How could I possibly harm Fang Ruo!"

General Cao said with his eyes wide open.

"Humph! You should ask yourself why your son doesn't trust you!"

The old prime minister looked at him with an expression of disbelief and snorted coldly.

Upon hearing this, General Cao lowered his head in shame. It was his many actions that disappointed his son, but he did not expect that his son would not even have the slightest trust in him.

"Old General, when your cousin comes back, you can explain it to him in person and clear up the misunderstanding!"

Zhao Junhuan comforted him.

General Cao curled his lips and nodded, hoping that his son would give him a chance to make up for what he had owed him over the years.

"According to our analysis, there is a high possibility that Zhao Ting'er attacked Yan'er!"

The old prime minister suddenly spoke.

General Cao no longer cared about his disappointment when he heard this, and he quickly analyzed the situation in his mind.

Yan'er is a kind person and has never had an argument with anyone, so it is impossible for her to offend anyone.

If someone who had been offended by the Prime Minister's Mansion wanted to take revenge on the Mansion, they would probably target the masters of the Mansion instead of harming Yan'er who had already been married.

Similarly, if his enemies wanted to take revenge, they would not just kill Yan'er and let him and his children go.

Judging from the words Zhao Ting'er used to insult Yan'er that day, Zhao Ting'er has always been jealous of Yan'er, and her sisterly love was all a pretense.

She was deeply in love with him, so it was very likely that she would kill Yan'er in order to marry him. The highly suspicious nanny beside Yan'er stayed with Zhao Ting'er after Yan'er left. It seemed that Zhao Ting'er was highly suspicious!

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly shook, and he instantly understood why Zhao Ting'er and Fang Qing wanted to harm Fang Ruo.

When the Prince of Anyang came to propose marriage, Zhao Ting'er mentioned many times that Fang Qing should get engaged to him, and Fang Qing's reaction at that time clearly showed that she had already secretly fallen in love with him.

However, the Prince of Anyang was deeply in love with Fangruo, so he finally got engaged to her.

Coincidentally, Zhu'er suddenly received an imperial edict and left the general's mansion to rush to the battlefield.

Without Zhu'er's protection, Zhao Ting'er and Fang Qing planned to trick Fang Ruo to Sunset Mountain, and then pushed her off the cliff!

Then Fang Qing went to comfort the Prince of Anyang every day, and finally succeeded in marrying him!

This mother and daughter are so scheming and vicious. They really go to great lengths to snatch someone else's husband!

At this moment, he could no longer feel sorry for Cao Fangqing. Such a person was not worthy of being his daughter!

"Old Prime Minister, I also think Zhao Ting'er is highly suspicious. She actually dared to attack Yan'er. It would be too easy for her to die like this! After I go back, I will immediately investigate the old people in the general's mansion and find out who was involved in the murder of Yan'er!"

The old prime minister nodded upon seeing this, and after a few more discussions, General Cao left the Prime Minister's Mansion.
