In the evening, Sikong Mansion indeed prepared a family dinner.

Cao Cao is sitting at the top, on the lower left is a group of wives and female dependents led by Mrs. Bian, and on the lower right is a group of heirs led by Cao Pi.

It's just that this family dinner was not harmonious, because Cao Pi and Cao Jie were staring at He Yan sitting in the middle.

Especially Cao Jie...

He Yan shouted to the side in a low voice: "Hey! Why don't you, a female family member, sit across from you?"

"I want to sit here!"

Cao Jieqi picked up a chopstick in each hand and stabbed He Yan in the air: "You sincerely let me go in and get beaten last time!"

"Isn't that what you have to ask yourself?"

He Yan motioned to Cao Jie to calm down: "Don't forget that if it weren't for me, you would still be in solitary confinement now!"

"But I got a beating!"

Cao Jie's kneeling posture is a bit weird now. It is obvious that the redness and swelling on his buttocks have not gone away, so he can only try hard to hold his upper body up.

"It's true that you received a beating, but wasn't Cao Pi knocked unconscious by you?"

He Yan comforted in a low voice: "Think about it carefully, is it worth it?"

"Woo?"

Cao Jie thought about it carefully and felt that He Yan was talking nonsense...

"Then why don't you go beat Deng Ai to relieve his anger?"

For his own personal safety, He Yan sold his beloved son without hesitation.

"Deng Ai?"

After Cao Jie hesitated for a while: "I'm looking for you to settle the score, why should I fight Deng Ai?"

"Father and son are connected!"

He Yan showed a painful expression: "Hitting him hurts my heart! Is this what your mother said to you every time after she beat you?"

Cao Jie nodded thoughtfully, but still looked at He Yan suspiciously: "Is it true that father and son are connected?"

"It's absolutely true! Otherwise, after Cao Pi was beaten by Aunt Bian, why did Dad look like he was about to die?"

Cao Jie blinked: "Really?"

"real!"

"Then when I hit Cao Pi in the future, won't my parents also feel pain?"

"Not necessarily, Cao Pi may not be his biological child."

"Oh, no wonder..."

——————

After exchanging Deng Ai for his own safety, He Yan came to the other side again.

"Cao Pi~"

"snort!"

"Xiao Pizi~"

"snort!"

"Little Pi Pi Pi Pi Pi Pi~"

"snort!"

"Cao Pi! Don't go too far!"

After hearing this, Cao Pi finally couldn't help it anymore, turned sideways and glared at He Yan: "Am I going too far? If I go too far, then who do you think you are?"

"You actually lied to me that it was a powerful medicine, and then threw me into a female house! He Yan! I will be at odds with you from now on!"

Seeing that Cao Pi was really angry, He Yan used the tried and tested method: "Then I invite you to go to the Nulu, and this is the end of the matter?"

"snort!"

"twice?"

"cut!"

Seeing that He Yan couldn't impress Cao Pi even by removing his daughter, he realized that he was probably bleeding heavily...

"Cao Pi, how about I help you beat up Cao Jie?"

"Um?"

Cao Pi finally became interested, but he was still aloof.

"Hit her twice?"

Cao Pi was about to agree, but soon he realized something was wrong: "What does our matter have to do with Cao Jie?"

"Ouch? You followed Jia Wen and your IQ actually improved?"

He Yan was slightly surprised: "Then we won't beat Cao Jie, let's have a duel?"

Cao Pi looked at He Yan's muscles that had gradually become stronger through several expeditions, and said that only vulgar warriors advocate dueling, and that an elegant man like him should solve problems in a more elegant way.

"Forget it, just admit your mistake in this matter and write a guarantee not to do it again in the future."

Cao Pi had a straight posture: "He Yan, you and I have matured a lot now. Don't play such boring tricks anymore. What we want to think about is how to relieve our father's worries. Do you understand?"

He Yan frowned: "Xiao Heizi, let me ask you, what comes after singing and dancing?"

Cao Pi:???

Seeing Cao Pi's confused look, He Yan knew that he had eliminated another time traveler.

"Those words you just said...were all taught by Jia Xu?"

He Yan touched his chin: "Did Jia Xu tell you that as the Crown Prince of Sikong, you have to find ways to gather party members and then gradually become more powerful?"

"And he should have said that the person you should win over the most is me, so that even if you are bullied by me, you should be more generous and influence me?"

Cao Pi looked like he had seen a ghost: "How did you know?"

"My guess."

He Yan was not sure at first, but now he is basically certain that Cao Pi's tricks were all instigated by Jia Xu behind his back...

"Then He Yan."

Cao Pi asked with some expectation: "Will you help me?"

He Yan neither confirmed nor refused, but asked Cao Pi: "Cao Pi, let me ask you."

"If I help you, what do you want to do?"

Cao Pi was speechless: "Just... just..."

Seeing that Cao Pi couldn't even figure out his own goal, He Yan also shook his head slightly: "If you don't even know what you want to do, how can you gather a force loyal to yourself?"

"No! I know!"

At this moment, Cao Pi suddenly became determined again: "I want to share my father's worries!"

"Are you sure you want to share your father's worries instead of inheriting everything from his father?"

He Yan's words once again made Cao Pi confused: "Probably... no?"

"Don't be general, be certain."

He Yan grabbed a peeled sweet orange on the table and put it into his mouth: "Go back and ask Jia Wenhe if he can teach others? As a teacher, if you can't teach others, then don't let your disciples get hurt.

.”

Even He Yan could not figure out Jia Xu.

Call him timid. Nothing he did was timid.

Call him bold, but he can never let go of his pattern...

It may be the duty of a minister to be afraid of hands and feet, but it would be a mistake to teach this to a monarch.

Whether Cao Pi becomes Cao Cao's successor or shares Cao Cao's worries, there is essentially no difference between these two things. The core is "what should Cao Pi do".

Even if it were perfunctory and turned into "Let Cao Cao see what Cao Pi did", it would be better than the current hesitation.

He Yan took advantage of Cao Pi's deep thought and took a few sweet oranges from his table to his own table.

"Hey! You are so rich and you still take mine?"

"Well, the oranges in Sikong Mansion are always more delicious than those outside."

After grabbing the sweet oranges on Cao Pi's desk, He Yan asked again: "Did you learn Xinxue from Yang Xiu?"

"learned."

"Do you understand?"
