Chapter 54
When leaving Beimang Mountain, Cao Yan walked at the front with a pale face and said nothing, paying no attention to Cao Liang who was following behind.
Cao Liang knew that his father was really angry this time, so he had to follow behind obediently, walking slowly without daring to speak.
Originally, Cao Yan was planning to stay in the Xiaoqi camp for a few days, but after what happened, Cao Yan took Cao Liang directly back to the Gaolinghou Mansion. Alas, it was really troublesome.
As soon as she entered the house, she saw Liu Ying's anxious and haggard face. Cao Liang hadn't returned home all night, and Liu Ying probably hadn't slept a wink all night. Seeing Cao Liang back, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Liang'er, where did you go last night? You didn't even say a word. I almost made my mother anxious to death."
Cao Liang glanced at Cao Yan. His father was still angry. He didn't dare to speak and kept silent.
Liu Ying asked curiously: "What's going on with you, father and son? You both have dark faces. Did something happen?"
Cao Yan sat down, snorted heavily, and said angrily: "Ask your good son!"
Liu Ying shook her head and asked Cao Liang: "Liang'er, what happened to make your father so angry?"
Cao Liang said with an innocent face: "It's nothing serious. I just happened to encounter some tomb robbers robbing a girl yesterday when I passed by Beiman Mountain. I helped out."
Cao Yan slapped several cases hard, and said angrily: "I helped you a little, but you just paid it back? You don't know how much trouble you have caused! Those tomb robbers are so fierce, but you only have three feet."
With the skill of a cat, don't you go and die yourself? It's your luck not to die, but you offended the Sima family's son because of it, do you think it's worth it?"
Liu Ying said dissatisfiedly: "You have something to say, why are you so evil? Liang'er is brave and chivalrous when he sees justice. Forget it if you don't praise him, why are you complaining? Besides, is it difficult to save people? Is it wrong? Why is it offended?
Where is the young master of the Sima family?"
Cao Yan said angrily: "I didn't say it was wrong for him to save people, but you have to think about yourself when saving people. When the Clay Bodhisattva crosses the river, he cannot save himself, so he thought of saving people and didn't involve himself. It's an advantage.
"
Upon hearing this, Liu Ying said nervously: "Liang'er, are you injured? I'd better not do such a dangerous thing in the future."
When Cao Liang came out of Beimang Mountain, he had already changed his clothes, and the wound on his left leg was not that painful. In order not to worry his mother, he pretended to be relaxed and said: "It's nothing, it's just that there are too many thieves."
Yes, but nothing happened to me and I was rescued."
Cao Yan snorted and said, "You just came out, but what good things did you do? Tell me, why did your clothes end up on that girl's body? What happened between you two?"
Cao Liang immediately said: "Father, Miss Yang and I are innocent. Nothing happened. Her clothes were scratched by thorns, so I took off my clothes to wear them for her. Father
, you have to believe me, I didn’t do anything.”
Cao Yan said in a deep voice: "I believe you are useless. You have to have Mr. Sima believe in you to be useful. Men and women are not allowed to kiss each other. Miss Sheep is Mr. Sima's unmarried wife. You said you touched her and kissed her.
Didn’t you see that Master Sima’s face turned green? If I hadn’t arrived in time, I don’t know what would have happened!”
Cao Liang muttered in a low voice: "Isn't that a temporary measure? How can I fool those tomb robbers? Besides, I was only thinking about saving people at the time. How could I think about so many messy things?
Master Sima, I didn't really fall in love with him, he doesn't know how jealous he is."
To be honest, Cao Liang really had no intention of provoking anyone from the Sima family. This was purely an unreasonable disaster. Yang Huiyu was in danger of his life at that time, and he happened to be nearby. You couldn't just ignore it, right?
But after this move, what happened next was beyond Cao Liang's control. He tried his best to save his life and that of Yang Huiyu.
If you hadn't risked your life to save her, this daughter-in-law of your Sima family might have died, or been ruined by those tomb robbers. No matter what, it would be much worse than now.
It's okay if your Sima Master doesn't thank you, but he points his sword at you. I haven't really fallen in love with you, so do you need to be so anxious?
It's quite unlucky for me to be lying on the gun this time. I originally wanted to keep a low profile and not have a head-on confrontation with the Sima family. I would deal with her later when my wings are full.
Unfortunately, things went against expectations. After this incident, he was at odds with the Sima family, and became everlasting enemies with Sima Master.
However, Cao Liang felt that it was nothing. Facing Sima Shi's aggressive attitude, Cao Liang had nothing to give in to. Anyway, Cao Shuang was in power now, and Sima Yi was pretending to be his grandson. It was far from the time when his Sima family could dominate the sky with one hand.
Liang has no reason to be afraid.
Life is always full of surprises. No matter how well you plan, the development of things will always deviate from the track. Avoiding conflicts is a cowardly behavior. Since the challenge is in front of you, you must have the courage to accept it.
Don't be timid, just do it!
Cao Yan had no choice. Sima Yi was the imperial tutor and assistant minister of the dynasty, and his status was much higher than his own. If he offended the Sima family, there would obviously be nothing good to gain. However, Cao Yan had a deep love for protecting the calf, even if he knew that it would be disadvantageous in the future.
, and it is impossible to let Master Sima take away his son.
Cao Yan sighed. Since the matter had developed to this point and was irreversible, it was useless to say anything more. He scolded Cao Liang a few words and told him to stop causing trouble outside in the future.
Cao Liang agreed obediently and fled as fast as he could.
What a joke, if you don’t run away quickly, are you still waiting to get slapped?
But having said that, this time Cao Liang still saw the tough side of his father, who was reasonable, advantageous and restrained, which made Master Sima speechless. After all, they were still connected by flesh and blood, and his father was very good at protecting his shortcomings.
Liu Ying watched Cao Liang go out and said to Cao Yan: "Husband, Liang'er has already reached adulthood. I think it's time to marry him?"
As a woman, Liu Ying was sensitive to the anomaly of Cao Liang this time. The reason why Cao Liang went to save people was because she was not a fair lady. How can a gentleman be so jealous?
In the Han and Wei dynasties, most men got married after they were crowned. Cao Liang is exactly twenty this year, and he has indeed reached the "legal age" for marriage.
Cao Yan pondered for a moment and said: "Well, whether it's getting married or not, it will at least make Liang'er feel at ease. Just take care of this matter. If you fall in love with that girl, talk to me later. I'll do it too."
Arrange for someone to propose marriage."
