"Just now, Duke Tang personally came to apologize. Who would have thought that Cao Feng did not know how to appreciate favors?”
Liu Wenjing, who was accompanying him, told him what had happened angrily.
"What?"
As soon as he said this, everyone present exclaimed.
According to the script they had in mind, Cao Feng would probably be grinning from ear to ear when he got an official position. He could use this opportunity to revitalize the entire Cao family.
Who would have thought that this child would not play by the rules? It was fine if he did not accept the apology.
He had actually severed the Cao family's many years of friendship with the Li family.
"Too arrogant!"
Among them, Li Yuanji shouted, looking extremely angry.
The rest of the people also had ugly expressions. Anger rose from their hearts. The only son of a declining aristocratic family actually had no respect for anyone.
"With the private relationship between the two families, Father has already done his best, but this fellow still acts like this!”
Li Shi Min clenched his fists.
"Father apologizing is giving face to the Cao family. Cao Feng simply doesn't want face.”
Li Jiancheng, who was usually not easily angered, said coldly.
"Young masters, you might not know this, but Tang Gong has been persuading you with a pleasant expression from the beginning to the end.”
Liu Wenjing spoke even more enthusiastically.
It was the scene of how Cao Feng had cut off the table and chased him and Duke Tang out.
It could be said to be clear and vivid.
"This kid is actually so arrogant.”
Hearing this, Madam Dou was furious.
“………”
However, they subconsciously ignored it.
They only thought that the Li family's head had come to apologize and was insulted, but they didn't know what Li Xiu Ning's willfulness would bring to the Cao family.
"Enough, let's forget about this matter."
The silent Li Yuan finally spoke.
"Father, are we just going to let it go like this?”
Li Shi Min and the others were stunned.
If they really let it go like this, wouldn't the Li family be laughed at by some aristocratic families once this matter spread?
"Yes."
Li Yuan was very determined.
Even if he broke off relations with the Cao family, the situation had not reached an irreversible point.
If he allowed others to mess around, then the Li family and Cao family would completely fall out and leave no room for negotiation.
"Yes."
Even though they were unwilling, the brothers had no choice but to agree.
"Father, in that case, how should we deal with the guests?”
Li Jiancheng asked.
"How about this? Just tell them the fact that the engagement banquet has been canceled.”
Li Yuan said without thinking.
"However, many people have already set off. I estimate that they will arrive soon.”
Li Jiancheng said awkwardly.
In other words, the arrival of those nobles was already inevitable and could no longer be stopped.
"Since that's the case, we'll wait for them to arrive and entertain them properly. Tell them that the engagement banquet has been canceled.”
Hearing this, Li Yuan frowned.
This was the only way now. There was no better solution.
"Yes."
Li Jiancheng cupped his hands in response.
Li Yuan stood up and left. Lady Dou followed closely behind, obviously wanting to ask something.
Only Li Jiancheng and his two brothers were left in the hall.
"Brother, are we just going to let this matter go?”
Just as Li Jiancheng was about to leave, Li Shiming suddenly spoke.
"Second brother, what do you mean?"
Li Jiancheng stopped. It was the first time he had reacted to his brother's words.
Obviously, the two brothers who originally did not want to deal with him had already thought of the same thing.
"Cao Feng insulted my father and the Li family. We can't let this matter go. We should teach him a lesson.”
Li Shimin went straight to the point.
"Not bad."
Li Yuanji agreed.
"In that case, do you have any suggestions?”
Li Jiancheng lowered his voice and asked.
Their father had personally said that the matter regarding the Cao family was over.
If they still wanted to cause trouble, once their father found out, they would naturally be punished.
Moreover, once his whereabouts were exposed, it would not be easy for him to do anything in the future.
"Send people to teach Cao Feng a lesson and let him know the consequences of offending the Li family.”
Li Shi Min sneered.
"In Daxing City, there are very few people who insult the Li family. How can a mere declining family dare to be arrogant?”
Hearing this, Li Yuanji raised his hands in agreement.
"This matter is feasible, but we need to act in secret. We can't let father know.”
Li Jiancheng thought for a moment and agreed with this suggestion.
"Of course, we can let Duan Zhixuan do it.”
Li Shi Min smiled playfully.
"Wait, why don't you let Li Xiaogong go? He has a way to deal with people.”
Li Yuanji asked doubtfully.
"Li Xiaogong is a person close to father. If he goes, father will definitely know.”
Li Shi Min explained.
"Second brother's words are in line with my brother's intentions, then let Duan Zhi Xuan go.”
Immediately after, Li Jiancheng placed his hand on the table.
The three brothers then went to look for Duan Zhixuan and asked him to bring a portion of his men to the Cao family. He estimated that he would bring about a hundred people, which was enough to deal with Cao Feng alone.
Duan Zhixuan immediately agreed and led his men straight to Cao Manor.
“......”
In the courtyard of the Cao Residence, Cao Feng was thinking about how to make an issue of the engagement banquet.
"Since the engagement banquet cannot be canceled and can only proceed as usual…"
"We can only find a suitable person to replace Li Xiu Ning.”
At this moment, Cao Feng thought of a suitable solution.
Only in this way could the engagement banquet proceed as usual. Since Li Xiu Ning had run away from the engagement, then she would take care not to send her off.
"But where should we go now to find a suitable person?”
Cao Feng was a little troubled. He frowned slightly and recalled in his mind.
Suddenly, a beautiful figure appeared in his mind.
"Wugou…"
He called out softly. This beautiful figure was Zhangsun Wugou, who had grown up since young.
From his memories, he knew that the Li siblings had always been estranged from him, and many of their actions were just external responses.
On the surface, it was a personal relationship, but in fact, sometimes, he was as cold as a passerby.
The real playmates were the Zhangsun siblings. Coincidentally, the Cao family had declined, and the Zhangsun siblings had been chased out of the family by his second uncle.
The three of them had similar encounters, so they could naturally become true friends and eventually become reliable friends.
Moreover, he had a very good relationship with Wugou. Many of his private actions hid his feminine thoughts.
Through this, Cao Feng immediately determined that Wugou might be interested in him.
It was just that a girl was a little shy to begin with. Coupled with the fact that she was betrothed as a child, she naturally wouldn't take the initiative to say it.
"Wugou…"
Cao Feng knocked on the table. The engagement had to be carried out as scheduled. The only suitable person at the moment was Zhangsun Wugou.
Moreover, the original Zhangsun Wugou was a typical virtuous wife.
She was a woman with talent and charisma. She was much better than Li Xiu Ning.
"Alright, I'll go with Wugou then."
"Cunxiao."
After making up his mind, Cao Feng looked at his trusted general.
"Your subordinate is here."
"Follow me to the Gao Manor. The faster the better.”
The engagement banquet was about to arrive, and it seemed a little urgent to go to the Gao Manor to confirm this matter.
Therefore, he had to fight for time and deal with it as soon as possible.
"Eighteen Flying Tiger Cavalry, guard the Cao Clan Estate.”
Before leaving, Cao Feng instructed the eighteen riders.
"Yes."
The Eighteen Flying Tiger Cavalry responded, and Cao Feng and Li Cunxiao set off on the road to the Gao Residence.
