Chapter 43-Protecting Her Child, The Pressure From Madam Ding! (New book, evaluation ticket!)
In Madam Ding's courtyard.
At this moment, Madam Ding was sitting in the pavilion outside the courtyard. Sitting opposite her was Xun Yu.
"Sikong has been busy with official matters recently. There are too many big and small matters in this residence.”Madam Ding gestured to Xun Yu.
Xun Yu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and put it down.
"Madam, you are too serious. Sikong has been busy sending troops to Xuzhou recently. Xun Yu should not have caused trouble for Sikong at this time.”
"I have taken the liberty to come and visit today. I did not explain this to Si Kong previously. However, there is no need to trouble Si Kong to take time out of his busy schedule.”
Madam Ding smiled.
Lady Ding could already understand some of Xun Yu's words.
Usually, Xun Yu would often walk around Sikong Manor, but most of it was for official business.
As an important official of the Cao clan, the Xun clan naturally had an absolutely transcendent status.
Therefore, if there were no special circumstances, Xun Yu would never take the initiative to visit, and it was not because of official business.
As for the reason…
Madam Ding guessed.
It was most likely because of Cao Xuan.
Thinking of Cao Xuan, Madam Ding could not help but reveal a proud expression.
Originally, Cao Ang's death had already made Madam Ding feel disheartened and hopeless.
However, he did not expect Cao Ang to actually leave behind an heir.
What was even more unexpected was that he had such an outstanding heir.
Now, the entire Xu Capital was talking about Cao Sanpian.
The three articles made the famous scholar Kong Rong vomit blood.
Three Character Classic, Thousand Character Classic, and Disciple Rules.
Presumably, it wouldn't be long before the world would know.
A six or seven-year-old child writing a book was something unheard of in history. Moreover, he wrote three books at once.
This was even more unprecedented.
Although Cao Ang wasn't Madam Ding's biological son, he was raised by Madam Ding from a young age.
Cao Xuan was not Madam Ding's biological grandson, but Madam Ding treated Cao Xuan as her own.
Lady Ding smiled and looked at Xun Yu." What brings you here today, Mister Xun?"”
Xun Yu put down the teacup in his hand, then cupped his hands at Madam Ding and said,""Today, Xun Yu is here for Young Master Xuan.”
Madam Ding nodded. It was just as she had guessed.
"Xun Yu, I would like to ask for Young Master Xuan's birth characters.”Xun Yu said with a smile.
Hearing Xun Yu's words, Lady Ding's eyes immediately revealed joy.
Smart people never needed to be complicated when speaking.
Xun Yu had come to visit her today and asked for her grandson's birth characters. His words were already very obvious.
Xun Yu was not related to Cao Xuan, so he would never ask about Cao Xuan's birth characters.
There was only one possibility. Xun Yu wanted to introduce a marriage to his Xuan 'er.
Lady Ding did not immediately answer Xun Yu's words, but was prepared to listen to Xun Yu's tone.
Because Cao Xuan's identity had not been made public yet.
He had always said that he was an adopted son.
But in reality, that was not the case at all. He did not say it for the time being because he was afraid that Cao Xuan would not be able to accept this fact and would resent him.
It was a good thing that Xun Yu came to ask for a marriage alliance.
However, if Xun Yu was only planning to let a woman from the Xun family marry into the family, Madam Ding would not agree.
With Cao Xuan's outstanding level and status, even a woman from the branch family of the Xun family was not worthy of Cao Xuan.
"Mister Xun, Xuan 'er is still young, and we still have to consider Sikong's opinion on this matter.”
"Of course, as a grandmother, I naturally hope that Xuan 'er will have a good marriage.”
Madam Ding expressed her opinion.
"Don't worry, Madam. Xun Yu's family…"
Before Xun Yu could finish his words, a commotion came from outside.
"Madam, something bad has happened.”
A maid ran in from outside in a panic.
Madam Ding immediately frowned and scolded," Why are you in such a hurry? What's wrong with you? Can't you see that I'm receiving an honored guest?"”
The maid lowered her head after being reprimanded.
Xun Yu quickly tried to smooth things over,"Madam, please calm down."”
Madam Ding nodded and said,"Tell me, why are you so panicked?"
The maid then replied,"Replying to Madam, Young Master Xuan and Madam Huan are quarreling by the pond in the garden."”
"What?"
Madam Ding immediately frowned when she heard that."Nonsense. Xuan 'er spends his days in his courtyard practicing martial arts and studying.”
"Tell me, what happened?”
The maid quickly explained what had happened.
"Replying to Furen, this servant has just heard that Young Master Xuan saw Young Master Chong when he passed by the garden. Young Master Chong unfortunately fell into a pond and was later rescued by Young Master Xuan.”
"And the two maids of Madam Huan said that it was Young Master Xuan who pushed Young Master Chong into the water.”
"Later, when Madam Huan came, she scolded Young Master Xuan and cursed him as a bastard who pushed Young Master Chong into the water." The maid said in full detail.
"Nonsense!"
Madam Ding stood up angrily and slapped the stone table in front of her.
"Xuan 'er is so sensible. How could he push Cao Chong into the water? It's simply nonsense!”
"Bring me over."
Madam Ding immediately walked out of the courtyard.
However, after taking two steps, she remembered that Xun Yu was still there.
So, he said to Xun Yu,"I'm sorry to make a fool of myself in front of you, Mr. Xun. I'll go and deal with my family first."”
As a foreign official, Xun Yu naturally knew that he could not participate in Cao Cao's family affairs, so he quickly cupped his hands.
"Furen is busy. When Furen has time, Xun Yu will come to visit.”
After saying goodbye, Xun Yu turned around and left.
..........
The atmosphere in the garden could already be described as being at daggers drawn.
Cao Xuan could endure Madam Huan's taunts and also endure Madam Huan's difficulties.
After all, their identities were different.
Madam Huan was Cao Cao's wife, and Cao Chong was Cao Cao's son.
As for him, he was just an adopted son.
However, Cao Xuan could not tolerate Madam Huan insulting her birth mother.
"Who are you calling a bastard?"
Cao Xuan's voice was cold as she stared at Madam Huan.
That pair of eyes was like a ferocious beast in the mountains.
Madam Huan, who was furious, did not notice that something was wrong with Cao Xuan. She even pointed at Cao Xuan's nose and said,"You, I'm talking about you."
"Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because Sikong and Madam Ding like you. You're a bastard!”
Cao Xuan clenched his fists tightly, and the muscles all over his body tensed up. He looked like a ferocious beast that was about to pounce.
However, Madam Huan did not sense Cao Xuan's anger at all.
He was still using his status to scold Cao Xuan without any restraint.
Just as Cao Xuan was about to attack.
Madam Ding's voice came from behind.
"Xuan 'er."
Hearing Madam Ding's call from behind, Cao Xuan snapped out of his anger.
Madam Ding led two maids towards Cao Xuan and Madam Ding.
The crowd in front automatically made way for Madam Ding.
Madam Ding, who had called out to Cao Xuan, went straight to Madam Huan.
Then, in front of everyone, he raised his hand and slapped Madam Huan.
Pa!
A crisp sound rang out, and the surroundings instantly fell silent.
Madam Huan covered her face with one hand and stared at Madam Ding with widened eyes.
"Who are you calling a bastard? Say it again!”Madam Ding spoke. Her voice was as cold as the winter wind.
