Chapter 378 Children's Toys
"Looking for Mrs. Cao?"

Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu exchanged a look, and the hearts of both of them couldn't help but lift up.

"Didn't the concierge tell him that we don't have any Mrs. Cao here?"

"I said it, but she didn't believe it! And..." Mung Dou lowered her voice a little, "She insisted that she was a member of Mrs. Cao's family and came all the way to join Mrs. Cao. She even said that if we don't let her in again, She's about to reveal all about Mrs. Cao's background!"

Mu Jiaojiao frowned again.

"Do you think what this man said is true?" she asked Cui Pu.

"Isn't it? You'll know when you see me." Cui Pu said, "It's never a problem for people to make a scene at the door. Let's drag her in first. By the way..." He paused, "Go invite Mrs. Cao. "

Cao Shu is now helping Mu Jiaojiao manage the medical clinic.During the period when Mu Jiaojiao fell ill in bed, she took care of all the things in the hospital.

For two years, she has been working by Mu Jiaojiao's side.Without the support of her family, she lived alone in the world and worked extraordinarily hard.Although her talent is mediocre, she is willing to work hard to learn. After years of accumulation, the results are not bad.

Now, that arrogant little lady has become the thirteenth sister respected by everyone in the hospital.Mu Jiaojiao is planning to hand over the Mu's Shengsheng Hall to her to take care of it.

Cao Shu came back soon.Because she was in a hurry, the tip of her nose was covered with fine sweat.When she walked in, she didn't have time to wipe it, so she quickly saluted Mu Jiaojiao: "Cousin, are you looking for me?"

Mu Jiaojiao nodded: "There is a man outside who says he is looking for you, go and meet him!"

Cao Shu shook her body. "Looking for me? Who is it?"

"I don't know either, maybe it's a relative of the Cao family before! You'll find out when you go and have a look."

Tears welled up in Cao Shu's eyes immediately.She quickly lowered her head, answered in a low voice, then turned around and left.

When she was far away, Cui Pu winked at her: "I'll go and have a look too. If there's any news, I'll let Mung Dou come back and tell you!"

He is depressed today, so he wants to do something bad secretly, right?Mu Jiaojiao nodded feebly in agreement.

Following Mung Dou's guidance, Cao Shu rushed to the side hall, and heard a hysterical shout from inside——

"Go away! Who allowed you lowlifes to touch me? It's not bad to ask your master to serve me! What about Thirteen Niang? Ask her to come to see me, I only talk to her now!"

Hearing this voice, her footsteps stopped suddenly.Tears rolled down his eyes a few times, but he didn't know whether he was crying or laughing.

The maids inside were kicked out, and as soon as they looked up and saw Cao Shu, they hurried forward and said, "Miss Thirteen, you are here! The one inside is clamoring to see you, we No one is allowed to touch it! Go in and have a look, at least try to persuade her to take a bath and change into clean clothes. If she is like this now, what if she enters the mansion with a disease and infects the young man and the young lady? "

"I see." Cao Shu nodded, and then walked in again.

As soon as the front foot crossed the threshold, the people in the hall behind the back foot discovered her existence, and immediately rushed to her: "Thirteen Niang, you are indeed here!"

Cao Shu looked at him coldly, and was about to open her mouth to speak, but she didn't expect that person to start yelling: "You have no conscience, I'll just say that you are just like your aunt and the Mu family. A wolf-hearted thing! Your aunt sent you away secretly and broke the engagement with Xiao Changshi. As a result, our Cao family was ruined! It turned out that you were lucky, you ate and drank well here, and you dressed so brightly, completely ignoring me Suffering for so many years outside! You unfilial daughter! Why didn't you die in the first place?"

Originally seeing this relative, Cao Shu was still a little excited.But that little bit of excitement was immediately wiped out by this person's swearing.

"Who are you, old man? Do I know you?" She asked coldly.

The old man was startled, and immediately grabbed her neckline and scolded even louder: "Cao Shisanniang! How long has it been since you don't even recognize your own great-grandmother? Tell me, did the surname Mu teach you? I will go to the government to sue you for disobedience!"

"Isn't this the official residence?" Cao Shu said coolly.

The old man paused, and immediately said: "Then I will go to the governor and the Jiedu envoy to file a complaint, saying that you escaped privately from the Cao family two years ago, and I will also sue the Yangzhou magistrate and his wife for hiding the fugitive!"

"You!" Cao Shu's face turned pale with anger when these words came to her ears, "Okay, you can sue, you can sue! It's better to tell others that the Chang'an Ling mother who committed the crime at the time was suspended animation. You let all the men in the family The female relatives were buried with you, but in the end, I escaped out of greed for life and fear of death. See if the government will punish your crime!"

"Hmph, I'm old, even if I'm punished, I can't be punished!" The old man said immediately.

"Really? But why does this government remember the Xintang law that says that women who have reached the age of [-] will not be counted as criminals. However, those who have committed unforgivable crimes are not included in this case?" Then a voice came from outside, and the two Shuang Shuang looked back, and saw Cui Pu walking in from outside.

Cao Shu quickly lowered her head: "My cousin-in-law."

The old man twisted his neck and looked away deliberately.

Cui Pu didn't take it seriously, walked up to her, and bowed to her: "I really didn't expect to see Mrs. Cao in Yangzhou. I thought that the catastrophe two years ago caused the whole army of the Cao family to die." The only one who survived was Thirteenth Lady. As a result, it turned out that Thirteenth Lady was not the only one who was lucky! Shouldn't this government congratulate you, old man?"

This person was the old lady Cao who was said to have been frightened to death by the officers and soldiers who came to raid the house.But now, looking at this person jumping around in front of him, very energetic, it seems that the past two years have not been bad!
Mrs. Cao heard his sarcasm, and said in a low voice: "You and Mu Liu are in the same group, and they are not good people. I won't talk to you."

"That's good, come here, take this old man out and send him to the governor's mansion, and tell him that the manor has caught a criminal woman who is feigning death and absconding, and I will hand him over to him!" Cui Pu immediately on the road.

And the people outside also acted very quickly, and Hongdou immediately brought in two women with big arms and round waists.

The old lady Cao hurriedly shrank behind Cao Shu, but she still shouted loudly: "You dare! Send me to the governor, and I will report to him that you are harboring fugitives! None of us should think about it!"

"Oh, I'm afraid this will disappoint you all the time." Cui Pu chuckled, "As early as two years ago, after the Cao family's accident, our house had quietly asked someone to transfer the name of the thirteenth lady of the Cao family from the female family members of the Cao family. She was hooked inside. Now she is the Cao family in Yangzhou Prefecture, and has nothing to do with the Cao family in Chang'an City!"

The old lady Cao was stunned, and immediately pointed at Cao Shu's nose and cursed: "Okay, you, you have only been working for two years, and you even sold your ancestors! Our Cao family has raised you for so many years, why did you raise such a child?" An ungrateful thing? Your father, mother, and your grandfather are known under the nine springs, and they can't spare you!"

Cao Shu was so scolded that she burst into tears, she wanted to defend herself, but when she thought of her deceased father and aunt, she was so choked up that she couldn't speak.

Seeing this, Cui Pu sneered even more.

This old woman came to ask for help, but still put on such a high profile. Does she still think that she is the mother of Chang'an Ling back then?But even Chang'an Ling's old mother was not so embarrassing when she came to Cui's house!
Moreover, knowing that he is not easy to offend, she desperately vented to Cao Shu. Feelings are a stern thing, and they will only spoil the weak.

He despised her.

"Why are you all standing there in a daze? Quickly tie up the man and send him to the governor Wang!" He even ordered to the servant girl.

"You, you, you... how dare you!" Mrs. Cao hurriedly hid behind Cao Shu again.

Bullying an old, weak, sick and disabled, why wouldn't he dare?Cui Pu sneered, and waved again, and the two servants immediately stepped forward and caught him.

The old lady Cao hurriedly struggled and cried out.Those eyes were desperately gouged out to Cao Shu: "Miss Thirteen, are you going to just watch me being taken away by them? I'm your great-grandmother! Did you forget that I loved you so much back then? And your aunt, if it wasn't for me, would you and your aunt have such a good life in Cao's house? I... If I die, it must be you..."

The screaming stopped abruptly.

"Lang Jun, she has passed out." The servant woman said.

"Really faint or fake?" Cui Pu expressed doubts.There is no way, for someone who can even come up with a way to cheat the court by feigning death, what else can't she do?

Mung Bean stepped forward to do some research. "I'm really fainted."

Cao Shu also hurriedly stepped forward to pick him up, and looked at Cui Pu expectantly: "Cousin-in-law, I..."

"Forget it, I get it." Cui Pu nodded, "People are already sick like this, and we can't do anything like throwing people on the street. It's just that this old lady has a bad temper, so let's take her in this time. It would be a thankless effort without her. There are no people in our house who make trouble, you should understand that. "

"I understand. Cousin-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of my great-grandmother and never let her be like before!" Cao Shu hurriedly promised.

Cui Pu nodded. "I believe you for the time being. However, if it turns out that you can't do it, then we will do it for you."

Cao Shu shivered, and nodded quickly. "I see!"

The fact that Mrs. Cao came back from the dead really shocked Mu Jiaojiao.

"I really didn't realize that this old lady is so courageous!"

"Where is the courage? It is clearly afraid of death!" Cui Pu snorted, "Besides, the children and grandchildren of the family have all been exiled into the army. Now most of their lives are lost in the Western Regions, and the female relatives are also generous to die. But any elder with a bit of courage , she will not live alone in the world. But she has survived until now, and she has not traveled thousands of miles to find Yangzhou from Chang'an. If it is said that she came here by mistake, I don't believe it."

"That's right." Mu Jiaojiao sighed, "This old lady really opened my eyes. I've never seen such a selfish elder. There are so many people in Cao's family, and it's obvious that she made a fool of them. But she turned back and put the hat on Miss Thirteen's head. Now, she is clearly here to join Miss Thirteen, but she still puts on airs like this. Could it be that she still wants Miss Thirteen to continue treating her like an old lady? The ancestors offered it?"

Sigh again. "From now on, I'm afraid that the life of the thirteenth lady will be sad."

"That's not necessarily true." Cui Pu shook his head.

Mu Jiaojiao looked at him puzzled.

Seeing Cui Pu gearing up, looking eager to try: "I just had a bad experience with Dai Ziang, and I'm not going back yet! Now there's an old man coming to my door, if I don't give her some strength, let's see , how can I feel sorry for me listening to her screaming for a long time? By the way..."

The corners of his lips were curved upwards, and the arc was cunning and perfect: "Aren't they bored, Mrs. Da Langjun? Now, someone is playing with them, so they must be very happy, right?"
