Chapter 193 Zixiu
"Mrs. Ding..."
He Yan was still a little confused after coming out of Sikong Mansion, and his resistance to this new task was beyond words.
In He Yan's memory, Aunt Ding, who was obsessed with Boss Cao, was not an easy character to get along with.
When Mrs. Ding was in Sikong Mansion, she severely suppressed all of Boss Cao's concubines, especially now Boss Cao's wife, Mrs. Bian, was the one most targeted by Mrs. Ding.
If Mrs. Ding is really brought back, God knows how much trouble will happen!
"Why don't I just go and fish in the troubled waters?"
He Yan turned around and glanced at Sikong Mansion, then quickly put the thought away.
Cao Cao is not an idiot. If he really fails to do his job, Boss Cao will definitely be able to tell.
Now He Yan can only hope that Mrs. Ding can understand something and not return to Xuchang to destroy Boss Cao's family harmony, otherwise he will really be no longer a human being inside and outside by then!
"No! You have to find someone to support you!"
He Yan did not return to Hewu, but went directly to "Cao Pi Bank".
"Shopkeeper! Let me get Cao Pi! Let Cao Pi come out and see me!"
Cao Pi:???
As He Yan expected, Cao Pi was actually hiding in the bank counting small coins. He Yan immediately caught him and he reluctantly put down a handful of five baht coins and walked out and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Come with me to Chenliu."
"Why are you going to Chenliu?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Let's just go play! Do you want to go?"
Cao Pi looked wary: "Tell me what to do first!"
Seeing that Cao Pi was so wary about going to Chenliu, He Yan was also puzzled: "If you go to Chenliu, you won't miss a piece of meat!"
"Then you have to tell me why it's Chen Liu!"
Cao Pi's mouth turned up, Lao Gao said: "There is a person in Chen Liu who I hate very much. I never go if I can!"
"who?"
"I can't say! That person is an elder!"
He Yan asked tentatively: "Don't tell me it's Aunt Ding?"
"Don't mention that woman!"
Cao Pi's reaction said everything.
"He Yan! You were also in Sikong Mansion at that time! You saw how she bullied my mother! Fortunately, she is no longer in Sikong Mansion, otherwise... hum!"
He Yan looked at Cao Pi in surprise, secretly thinking that this kid is really brave, he even dared to say this!
At the same time, He Yan also lamented that Cao Pi was indeed small-minded, and he would always remember this grudge.
"Then I'll probably disappoint you. I went to Chenliu this time just to meet Aunt Ding."
Cao Pi's eyes widened, as if he was dissatisfied with He Yan's "betrayal": "Why did you go to see her?"
"Dad suddenly got lovesick and asked me to invite Aunt Ding. Otherwise, do you think I am willing to go? I remember my mother also bullied us when she first brought me into Sikong Mansion!"
He Yan also had a bitter face at first, but after seeing Cao Pi being so resistant to Mrs. Ding, a smile slowly bloomed on his face.
"Originally, I was afraid that I would do this if I accidentally brought Aunt Ding back. Now that I have you, I don't have to worry about that anymore!"
Cao Pi raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
"Based on your hatred for Aunt Ding, if you scold Aunt Ding casually after we meet, I guess Aunt Ding won't be willing to return to Xuchang! Aren't you happy with this ending?"
"Don't make trouble!"
It is true that Cao Pi hates Mrs. Ding, but Mrs. Ding is their elder after all.
Insulting elders, no matter what the reason, will always be accused of "unfilial piety". Cao Pi cannot afford to bear this burden now.
"Okay! You don't need to scold me. With your disgusting look, I guess Aunt Ding won't want to come back as soon as she sees you!"
He Yan winked wildly at Cao Pi: "How's it going? It's rare that you have such a big role, it would be a pity not to use it!"
Cao Pi frowned: "Why do I sound a little bit wrong?"
"Quite right!"
He Yan added weight to Cao Pi: "When Hebei is pacified in the future, Chenliu will become a transportation hub. There will definitely be no shortage of business routes in the future. Sooner or later, we will start a bank there, so we should treat it as a stepping stone in the past!"
Impressed by the small amount of money, Cao Pi finally reluctantly agreed to accompany He Yan on the walk.
In fact, Xuchang and Chenliu are not far away. They set out in the morning and did not have to stop at the inn to rest on the way. They could already see the city wall of Chenliu in the evening.
Seeing that the distance was getting closer, Cao Pi felt increasingly uneasy.
"He Yan, what should I do when I see that woman?"
"Don't talk too much about that woman, she is our elder after all, so be polite!"
He Yan comforted Cao Pi and said: "Don't worry, you don't have to do anything by the side. Just say a few words and promise to me. After all, Aunt Ding will probably be very angry when she looks at your face that is 45% similar to Aunt Bian."
Crazy, there is no need for you to disgust her even more?"
"Um?"
Cao Pi pointed at his face hesitantly: "I look like my mother, so it's disgusting?"
"That's true for Aunt Ding!"
Cao Pi patted his face: "Then I will definitely disgust her to death this time!"
There is also Cao Cao's old residence in Chenliu Mansion. After He Yan and Cao Pi stayed in the old residence for one night, they followed the rules and sent greeting cards to the Ding family where Mrs. Ding lived.
To their surprise, the first greeting letter was returned completely by the Ding family!
"He Yan, that old woman is shameless! Don't we need to waste time here?"
Cao Pi didn't want to see Mrs. Ding at first, but now that the greeting card was returned, he was naturally overjoyed. He hoped that He Yan would quickly pack up, salute, and return to Xuchang with him!
"How can it be that easy?"
He Yan sighed: "My father probably expected Aunt Ding to refuse the invitation. Otherwise, if I could see Aunt Ding by just sending someone here, why would he let me come?"
"Besides, if he knew that I would give up just because I was rejected once, he would not break my legs when I go back! Cao Pi, can you bear to just sit back and watch this happen?"
Cao Pi hesitated for three breaths and then nodded decisively: "As long as you can avoid seeing that old woman, just break your leg! At worst, I will support you for the rest of my life!"
"Thank you so much!"
He Yan rolled his eyes, wrote another greeting note, and sent it to Ding Mansion again.
"It's just a matter of three things. If Aunt Ding refuses three greetings from me in a row, then I will have a reason to deal with my father!"
So, in the mood of the two of them looking forward to it, the second greeting card was still returned!
"Great! It's just the last time!"
Cao Pi rubbed his hands excitedly: "He Yan, let me write this for the last time! The old woman must know my handwriting! If she recognizes my handwriting, she will definitely not see us!"
"good idea!"
After asking Cao Pi to write the last letter of greeting, they both hummed a tune excitedly and planned to return to Xuchang at any time to hand over the matter hastily.
What I never expected was...
"Cao Pi!!! What did you write in the invitation, you bastard?"
He Yan, who had packed his bags and planned to return to Xuchang, angrily slapped Cao Pi in front of him with the greeting card sent from Ding Mansion——
"Why did the Ding family suddenly agree to meet us? What the hell did you write?"
Cao Pi shook his head blankly: "No! I just wrote it according to your invitation!"
After being confused, Cao Pi also came to his senses...
"Damn! Doesn't that mean we still have to go see her?"
Cao Pi bit his molars: "Is this old woman playing tricks on me again?"
He Yan looked suspicious: "Again?"
"Um."
Cao Pi stared at the greeting card and sulked alone: "She has played with my mother and me before, but not like this!"
"How does that work?"
"yes……"
Cao Pi quickly stopped the car: "Is this important? What's important now is that we finally get to see her!"
When He Yan heard this, he lowered his head dejectedly: "I still haven't escaped this disaster... I now also suspect that she is deliberately playing tricks on us."
The good mood of the two people immediately disappeared. After barely regaining some color on their faces, they took heavy and sad steps towards Ding Mansion.
