Don't ask where people go

Chapter 404
"Qiluo City is on the verge of life and death, so I was thinking, if I still have my life to come back, I must marry Miss Bai." Cao Hong's eyes were red, "Who knows that after I came back, I heard that she was married, and now I see that she is married. Widow, after suffering so much, my heart..."

His voice trembled and he did not continue.However, the remorse and self-blame in the tone can be heard by anyone.

Xiao Xuan'er pursed her lips, "General Cao, since that's the case, then I'll just say it straight. Even if you want to marry Miss Bai, you can only be a concubine, not a regular wife. Otherwise, don't say that Miss Bai will be punished, and you will I will be implicated, and I am afraid that I will be dismissed from office."

"I'm not afraid of being dismissed from office, I..." Cao Hong suddenly stopped talking, "Miss Xiao, you said that Miss Bai will be punished, what punishment?"

"General Cao, it's better not to know." Xiao Xuan'er lowered her eyes slightly, "Even though you have nothing to worry about, General Cao, you still have to think about Miss Bai, right? If you lose your position, how can you protect Miss Bai?"

Fang Zilan sighed, "That is to say, no matter who the Bai girl belongs to, she can only be a concubine. But if Lao Cao takes a concubine before marrying a wife, I am afraid that any good family will retreat, and it will be difficult to marry another wife. "

"Not only that, but if General Cao insists on marrying her, he might be censored." Mo Han added in a low voice, "Marrying a widow is a violation of virtue."

Cao Hong clenched his fingers into fists, his joints creaked, but remained silent.

Fang Zilan looked at him fixedly, and said: "Old Cao, we have explained all the consequences to you clearly, you can make up your own mind."

"Boss, I want to marry Miss Bai. I will perform the wedding ceremony and put on an auspicious ceremony." Cao Hong said with a firm expression, "No matter what the consequences are, I am willing to bear them all. If she can only be a concubine, I will never marry her in my life." Get a wife."

After a long time, Fang Zilan finally said: "Since you have decided, then marry."

She was a little moved, but she still suppressed her emotions and said calmly: "You don't have to worry. If there is a censor who dares to participate in your moral failure, I will go to the censor's platform to settle the score with Mr. Su Yun. As for the dowry, I will give it to Miss Bai." , and let her marry off from the Duke of Yue's mansion in a grand manner."

"Boss..." Cao Hong's voice trembled with excitement, Fang Zilan raised the corners of his lips and said, "You have been with me for the past few years, and you have suffered a lot in the Southern and Northern Wars, and I will always do something for you. suffered."

"Thank you boss!" Cao Hong's tears welled up in his eyes, "I will definitely treat Miss Bai well..."

Zheng Yan tilted his head slightly, and the tails of his eyes were also a little red.Those of them who came from military households and gained fame and fame, who didn't expect to marry a wife and have children one day, and live a happy life?What's more, it is more or less enviable to grow old with the one you love.

It was rare for Fang Zilan to see Cao Hong and Zheng Yan like this, she said loudly: "Miss Bai, you have listened to this for so long, if you agree to this marriage, then come in."

Hearing this, several people had different expressions.Some people have long known that there are ears outside the window, such as Xiao Xuaner and Zheng Yan;

As a result, several people saw Cao Hong holding back their tears in an instant, blushing as if they had been baked, and said at a loss: "That..."

The person who was obviously fearless just now is like a young boy in love, rubbing his hands in embarrassment.

Zheng Yan coughed lightly to hide his smile, Mo Han and Xiao Xuan'er couldn't help laughing, Fang Zilan was full of smiles, with an expression of watching the excitement.

The figure of Bai Xiuniang slowly appeared in front of several people, followed by A Wan and Cong Rong who were half pushing and shoving her.

"I..." Bai Xiuniang obviously cried hard, her eyes were as red as a bunny, but she felt more pity for me.Her cheeks were flushed, and she repeated the word "I" for a long while, but the words that followed were difficult to say.

Seeing this, A Wan stomped her feet anxiously, leaned into her ear and said, "Sister Bai, why are you still hesitating? Hurry up and agree!"

"I..." Bai Xiuniang had never talked about her marriage, so she didn't know how to speak.

Fang Zilan smiled even wider, "Old Cao, it seems that Miss Bai is not willing, so I can only help her find someone else."

"No!" Bai Xiuniang hurriedly said: "I am willing, I am willing!"

Her voice was much louder than usual, and even the ending sound was raised a little. Fang Zilan laughed lightly and said, "Well, this time, it seems that I am really willing, and even the tone is much lighter. That's up to me. Set up this marriage."

"Master Fang..." Bai Xiuniang lowered her head, wishing she could bury her whole body.

"Okay, since it's decided, Lao Cao, you will take someone to Bai's house tomorrow, and Zheng Yan, you will go with him." Fang Zilan smiled, and said: "You must get the household registration and other documents. If Bai Chu dares to play tricks, don't be polite to him."

"Yes!" Cao Hong responded immediately, "I'm going now!"

A look of helplessness flashed in Fang Zilan's eyes, "Old Cao, today is not a day for you to take a rest."

As soon as she finished speaking, Cao Hong slapped his forehead and said, "It's over, it must be too late to go to the government office now!"

"It's not that I said you, you can't forget to do errands because you want to marry a charming girl, right?" Fang Zilan smiled and shook her head, "Forget it, I'll ask for leave for you at the government office, you and Zheng Yan can go."

"Master Fang, aren't you Xiumu today?" A Wan frowned, "Before you promised me to go outing in the outskirts of the city."

"You, your mind is full of fun." Fang Zilan said quietly: "The Bai family made such a fuss in front of Jingzhao Yin's mansion, and Lao Cao is going to ask for leave again. If I don't show up, I'm afraid that within half a day, rumors will spread all over the sky. .”

A Wan let out an oh, with a downcast expression.Fang Zilan walked to her side, raised her hand and rubbed the top of her hair, "If you have nothing to do, you can go with Miss Xiao and Miss Cong to help Miss Bai prepare the dowry."

"Okay." A Wan came to her senses, and pulled Bai Xiuniang to go outside, "It's rare to have a happy event, sister Bai..."

She chattered non-stop, Xiao Xuan'er and Cong Rong followed quickly.Seeing that everyone was busy, Fang Zilan also went to the government office with peace of mind.

Sure enough, when Fang Zilan arrived at the government office, he had already heard half of the rumors before he made a full tour.

There are various versions, what Zheng Yan took advantage of her power to snatch the girl, she was sued by the girl's family to Jingzhaoyin Mansion.Cao Hong and Zheng Yan fought for a widow, frightened away the servants of the Duke of Yue, and boldly sued her to Jingzhao Yin's mansion...

In short, the words have a nose and an eye, but each version is more outrageous than the previous version.

Fang Zilan thought to herself, the government office has been too idle recently, and they have raised a bunch of crap talkers who have nothing to do behind their backs, it's time to find something for them to do.

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard a different voice, "Is it the widow's fault to lose her husband? Are you not guilty of saying these words? If one day your wives, daughters and sisters also become widows, is it possible that you hope others will use this as well?" Are you making a fuss about them?"

What she said was a bit conscientious, Fang Zilan nodded slightly, and couldn't help but look over, it was actually Wu Sheng.

　After patrolling for half a circle, Fang Zilan: This government office is hopeless...

　　Looking around, Fang Zilan: It seems that there is still a little help...
