Fortunately, the opponent's three stabs all avoided the vital points, otherwise it would be very troublesome to treat.

"Xiao Lu, thanks to you tonight, thank you."

Cao Guan smiled, his eyes were full of relief.

I don't know since when, he has regarded Lu Chen as his best son-in-law.

"You're welcome, it's just a little effort."

Lu Chen smiled slightly and asked: "Uncle Cao, I'm a little curious. You can clearly dominate the audience, why did you stab yourself three times?"

The hidden guards of the Cao family are still in the hands of Cao Guan. In the situation just now, as long as the opponent uses thunder to suppress the field, I believe no one can resist.

Why is it that now we have no power or wealth?

"Today's incident, it is obvious that someone was obstructing it. If I suppress it with force, it will be difficult to convince the public, and it may even cause the Cao family to fall apart."

Cao Guan sighed softly: "The Cao family has been walking on thin ice in recent years, and its development has not been smooth. It has finally overcome the obstacles of the Black Witch Venerable. It is at a time when everything is waiting for prosperity. It really cannot withstand the torment. As long as the family can be stable. , I feel a little wronged, so what is it?"

"Uncle Cao's integrity is admirable, but it's a pity that you may not get what you want if you sacrifice your life for righteousness." Lu Chen shook his head.

"Yes, Dad, you shouldn't retreat this time."

Concubine Cao Xuan said with a serious face: "Uncle has changed. Although he used to love to show off, he didn't know how to plot against his own people. Look at him now. He will do whatever it takes to get the upper hand!"

"Your uncle is not evil-minded, he was just confused this time." Cao Guan's face was a little complicated.

What happened today was indeed a bit unexpected.

The brothers seemed to have suddenly become strangers.

"To be honest, what I'm worried about now is not Cao Jun, but Cao Zhiyuan."

Lu Chen poured a cup of tea for the two of them respectively, and then said: "This woman is ambitious and vicious. For her own glory and wealth, she even does not hesitate to kill her own family. She is a ruthless character."

"You mean, Cao Zhiyuan was the one who interfered with this?" Concubine Cao Xuan frowned slightly.

"No, to be precise, it was Cao Zhiyuan and Guan Hong who were working together."

Lu Chen said meaningfully: "Uncle Cao, have you ever thought about why Shangguanhong married the Cao family? If he can't marry Concubine Xuan, he has to hang out with Cao Zhiyuan."

"Why?" Cao Guan was a little surprised.

At first, he thought that Shangguan Hong liked his daughter, and at the same time, he wanted to make up for the shortcomings of Shangguan's family in business.

Now that I think about it carefully, it seems that is not the case.

"If I'm not wrong, Shangguanhong should have something else. Your Cao family has something that is very important to him, but you can't steal it openly, you can only plan secretly." Lu Chen reminded.

"It's very important, but it can't be seen in the light."

After Cao Guan pondered for a while, his pupils shrank: "Could it be... a treasure map?"

"It should be right!"

Concubine Cao Xuan nodded: "Only the patriarch knows the treasure map. Cao Zhiyuan has gone to great lengths to support Uncle to the position just to help Shangguanhong find out the whereabouts of the treasure map. This traitor is really stealing!"

It's nothing more than family infighting. JrNovels.com
