Chapter: 1087
"Dad, what's wrong?"
Concubine Cao Xuan took a closer look and couldn't help but frown.
The content of the letter was very simple, only a few sentences, but it was full of threats.
The general meaning is that Shangguan Lingcai's death was blamed on the Cao family.
It was the Cao family who instigated Lu Chen to commit the murder.
Now, the Cao family has only two choices.
Or, hand over the murderer, and the whole clan will bear a thorn and kneel for three days to plead guilty.
Or, conscientiously complete the engagement.
You can only choose one of the two.
If you dare to refuse, the Shangguan family will take full revenge and make the entire Cao family restless!
"It seems that Shangguanhong wants to use the death of his sister to force me to marry." Concubine Cao Xuan frowned deeply.
She thought the Shangguan family would use some tricks, but she didn't expect it to be so direct.
Subdue or go to war.
There is no other choice.
"Daughter, since Shangguan Hong likes you so much, I think you can consider marrying her." Chen Shuang advised from the side.
Anyway, the two parties have an engagement, so it would be great if we could take this opportunity to resolve the conflict between the two families.
"Shangguan Hong doesn't like me, but himself. To him, I'm just a tool." Concubine Cao Xuan said coldly.
"How is that possible? I'm willing to turn a fight into friendship for you. Isn't that sincere enough?" Chen Shuang followed the inducements.
"A person who doesn't even care about the death of his own sister, do you think he is still a human being?" Concubine Cao Xuan asked in return.
"This..." Chen Shuang was speechless for a moment.
"Shangguanhong is ambitious. Concubine Xuan will not be happy if she marries him, so the marriage contract has to be discussed in a long-term way." Cao Guan said suddenly.
Before, he did have hope for the Shangguan family.
But now, he has been completely disappointed.
It was absolutely impossible for him to just sit and watch his daughter jump into the fire pit.
"Brother Guan, the letter made it very clear that if Concubine Xuan does not marry, then we will have to bear the anger of the Shangguan family. When the time comes..." Chen Shuang hesitated.
Once the Shangguan family retaliates, the Cao family may not be able to resist.
"If soldiers come to block it, if water comes and earth comes to cover it, there will always be a way."
Cao Guan took a deep breath, and his eyes became firm: "If the Shangguan family really wants to tear their faces apart, then we'll fight each other, and at worst, we will break up!"
In the morning, the office of Chairman of the Li Group.
Li Qingyao looked at the financial statements while drinking coffee. JrNovels.com
