An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 1165 Be Careful

"You little bastard!" Shen Yilan gritted his teeth and looked up at Yun Shang again. "Please forgive him,

your majesty..."

Yun Shang smiled, "Yan'er is so lively, cheerful, smart and interesting. I like him very much. Chengye

stays all day long in the palace and no children at his age could play with him. In addition, there are too

many rules in the palace, which makes him a little dull. I hope he can be as happy as Yan'er. "

Shen Yilan smiled, "Isn't it simple? If you want Yan'er to spend more time with the crown prince, just

bring him back to the palace and give him a title of crown prince's companion and let him play with the

crown prince. He is so naughty. I want to find someone to teach him a lesson. He is like a mad dog,

running around all day long. I really don't have the energy to run after him. "

Lady Hua Guo couldn't help but touch her forehead, "Nonsense! How could you say that about your

own child? "

Yun Shang also lowered her head and burst into laughter.

Lady Hua Guo turned to Yun Shang and whispered, "Yilan is pregnant now. It's true that she doesn't

have much energy. Yan'er is too noisy, and only his mother can control him. It's a little headache. "

Yun Shang looked at Shen Yilan in surprise, "Are you pregnant?"

"Yes." Shen Yilan smiled, "It's been more than two months. I hope it's a girl this time. If there's another

one who makes trouble like that brat, I really can't stand it."

Yun Shang was also happy for Shen Yilan, "Great, no matter it's a son or a daughter."

"That's right. Let it be." Shen Yilan didn't care about it at all. She stood up and said, "I'll go to see where

that brat has taken the crown prince..."

As soon as Shen Yilan left, Lady Hua Guo dismissed the others in the yard. Then she turned to Yun

Shang and said, "So many things have happened recently. It must be an excuse to take the crown

prince to see me today. Tell me what brought you here?"

Yun Shang nodded, "I can't hide anything from Grandma."

Yun Shang briefly explained the whole thing. She only mentioned the seventh master of the Cao family,

as well as some of her doubts and speculations.

Hearing this, Lady Hua Guo frowned slightly. "I know something about the Cao clan. In the Jin City, the NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Cao clan is indeed a noble clan that has only begun to flourish in the past more than 20 years.

However, the former leader of the Cao clan, Cao Zhan, was originally from Cangzhou. Afer he was

promoted twenty years ago, his family moved to the Jin City."

"When the Cao clan was in Cangzhou, it was a big clan with a lot of industries. After it moved to the Jin

City, it developed very fast. Cao Zhan had a younger brother, Cao Zhou. He was a businessman. As

soon as he arrived at Jin City, she bought a lot of shops and soon ran them well. "

"In addition, the old lady of the Cao clan, Mrs. Li, is also a very resourceful person. As soon as she

arrived at the Jin City, she handed over the invitations one by one and visited all the slightly famous

families in the city. Soon, she joined the circle of these women in the Jin city."

"I remember that within two years after the Cao clan arrived in the Jin City, it had already been ranked

in the list of the noble clans in the Jin City. Later, as Cao Zhan was promoted, Cao Zhou's business

was getting better and better."

Yun Shang tapped the armrest of the chair with her finger and said, "In the past twenty years, it has

developed rapidly and squeezed into the eight major noble clans. It's indeed very powerful, but it

seems to be just in line with my guess."

"Although Cao Zhan used to be in Cangzhou Cityand the Cao clan had developed well in Cangzhou. It

couldn't rule out the possibility that the clan has something to do with that one. Although the previous

Cao clan was in the Jin City, after hundreds of years of development, its collateral branches have

grown. I'm afraid we have to carefully investigate whether or not Cao Zhan is a member of that Cao

clan."

Lady Hua Guo nodded, "That's true. Generally speaking, after a clan has developed for a hundred

years, some collateral relatives might not be recorded."

"For example, the Hua clan has been moving forward for three or four generations. I'm afraid we can't

investigate the whereabouts of those collateral relatives now."

"Now I have some contact with the Cao clan. The old lady of the Cao clan is still in charge of the

household. Among the young masters of the Cao clan, the most valued one was the eldest who was

forty-four years old and was appointed as Shang You Cheng. I'm afraid you have to ask Lord Hua Guo

what kind of person he is. "

"The second son of the Cao clan is the one you mentioned. I've met him once or twice. I didn't have a

deep impression on him. For several times, I saw him standing aside with his head down, as if he was

drained of his body because of eating, drinking and playing. There were many such playboys in the Jin

City, so they were not too eye-catching. I didn't expect that he was different in private. "

Lady Hua Guo turned to Yun Shang and said, "Since you suspect him, be careful. No matter the Cao

clan is really related to the previous Cao clan or not, it's always right to be careful. "

Yun Shang nodded, "I don't know what the Cao clan is planning to do this time."

After saying that, he smiled again. "However, no matter what they want to do or who orders them to do,

their ultimate goal is only one or two. They want the lives of his majesty and me, and they want to rule

the State of Xia."

"But I won't give them anything they want."

Lady Hua Guo nodded and said worriedly, "You and his majesty have reached that position. It's difficult

for you to retreat. I can only tell you to be careful."

"Grandma, don't worry. We know it."

"If you can't deal with anything, just come to me and Lord Hua Guo. Don't forget that we are always on

your side."

Yun Shang agreed. Lord Hua Guo smiled and patted Yun Shang's hand. Then she stood up and said,

"Lord Hua Guo should be at the training ground now. Let's go. I'll take you there. He knows more about

the affairs in the court. Although the Cao clan is doing well in the business world, the main reason why

the Cao clan can have a foothold in the Jin City is that Cao Zhan is an court official."

Yun Shang nodded and followed Lady Hua Guo. "You are right, if Cao Zhan doesn't have an official

post, no matter how powerful Cao Zhou is, the Cao clan couldn't develop so fast."
