AWB Chapter 495 The Unexpected Blame
Chapter 495 The Unexpected Blame
Cao Wanning looked at Cao Xuehai's face, which was distorted with anger, and smiled as she put away the knife. She played with it and said with a chuckle, "It really makes me sad that my father misunderstood me like this.
My daughter didn't let Cao Zhong run out and scream, so who would have thought he would do such a thing? But this is not surprising, after all, he is still a child, what else can he know besides being afraid of death?
"Father's face looked so grim that Cao Zhong was inevitably afraid. However, if Father doesn't dare to kill me personally, I can also commit suicide. As long as you tell me to die, I will die right in front of you."
After she finished speaking, she suddenly put the tip of the knife against her heart and looked at Cao Xuehai with a smile: "Father, do you want your daughter to die?
This is the heart, and it's still beating. But as long as my daughter puts the knife in, it will stop beating soon. Father, do you want your daughter to live? Or do you want her to die?"
Cao Xuehai was so frightened by her crazy look that he was speechless!
He had never seen such a madman!
And this crazy woman is his biological daughter!
Cao Xuehai couldn't help but curse: "You are crazy!"
"Yes, my daughter is crazy."
Cao Wanning raised the corners of her mouth, but her eyes revealed sadness and pain, "Father, do you know what kind of life your daughter has been leading on the island these years?
Those pirates are no good. When they saw my daughter, they were like hungry wolves seeing fat meat, and they wanted to strip her clothes right away..."
"Enough!" Cao Xuehai couldn't bear to listen any longer. He didn't know what Cao Wanning had been living through all these years, and he didn't dare to think about it. "Stop talking!"
"It seems that the father doesn't care about the suffering his daughter has endured. He only wants her life. Well, after all, my life was given by my father. Since you want it, take it back with your own hands."
At the end of her words, she suddenly grabbed Cao Xuehai's hand, stuffed the handle of the knife into his palm, forcing him to hold it tightly, and then pointed the tip of the knife at her heart and was about to stab it.
Cao Xuehai was so frightened by her crazy look that he dared not move and even forgot to resist.
At this moment, a maidservant suddenly screamed in fear at the door: "Ah - Master Cao, please don't - my wife has suffered enough, please don't kill her -"
Many neighbors had already gathered at the gate of the Cao family. When they heard the maid's scream, their faces changed drastically, and some even rushed in.
When they rushed to the room where the father and daughter were, they saw Cao Xuehai staring at Cao Wanning with a sullen face, while Cao Wanning was sitting on the ground with her hair disheveled. She looked at Cao Xuehai with tears in her eyes, and her expression was extremely sad.
There was also a small knife dropped on the ground, which looked very sharp.
Everyone looked at Cao Xuehai with complicated eyes. Cao Xuehai's face changed drastically and he quickly defended himself: "I didn't mean to kill them! It was this rebellious girl who framed me!"
Cao Wanning didn't explain anything, just laughed at herself, tears rolling down her cheeks.
She looked at Cao Xuehai with a complicated look, then reached out to pick up the knife on the ground, pointed it directly at her heart and was about to stab it.
"My lady, please don't—"
The maid rushed over and hugged Cao Wanning's arms tightly to prevent her from committing suicide.
He cried and begged, "My wife, you can't be so stupid! Zhong Ge'er is still so young. If you die, what will happen to Zhong Ge'er? He will be eaten alive!"
Cao Wanning finally spoke helplessly, "When I was kidnapped by bandits, I should have died to preserve my innocence. But I couldn't bear to leave my parents behind, so I have been living in shame until now.
Although my parents are safe now, their reputation has been damaged because of me. How can I still live in this world with dignity? Don't stop me, let me go."
"No - my lady, don't -"
The maid shook her head frantically, "What did you do wrong? Those thieves were even recruited by the imperial court. You have never done anything evil, so why should you die? Even His Majesty praised your loyalty. Who dares to say that you don't deserve to live in this world?"
At the end of her words, she suddenly turned her head and glared at Cao Xuehai fiercely.
Although she didn't say anything, her eyes said it all.
The eyes of the people at the door looking at Cao Xuehai suddenly became full of disgust. This Master Cao was famous, and they had heard of him and admired him very much.
Who knew that this man could be so cruel, disregarding family affection and wanting to force his daughter and grandson to death!
Cao Xuehai noticed everyone's gazes and immediately became so angry that his whole body trembled and he almost vomited blood!
"you you--"
He glared at Cao Wanning angrily and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I ever force you to die? Who are you showing this to?"
At this moment, Cao Zhong suddenly ran in, knelt directly in front of Cao Xuehai, and cried and begged, "Grandfather, please don't blame mother. It's all my fault. I've caused mother trouble. Please kill me. I won't run away. Please kill me and let mother go, okay?"
Cao Xuehai was instantly furious!
He never imagined that not only Cao Wanning was plotting against him, but even the little bastard Cao Zhong was so cunning!
As expected, she is the descendant of a traitor!
It's so cunning!
"You...you guys...when did I ever tell you to die? That's just nonsense!"
Cao Xuehai snorted coldly, unable to stay any longer, and quickly fled.
The disgusted looks from everyone made him feel like he was being stabbed in the back. How could he have the dignity to stay?
He didn't know that fleeing like this would only make him look guilty and make people believe more that he wanted to force Cao Wanning and her son to death.
Cao Wanning's face was filled with sorrow, but her lowered eyes hid the cold light in them.
When the neighbors saw her like this, they felt even more pity for her and tried to persuade her not to commit suicide.
Cao Zhong also threw himself into Cao Wanning's arms, hugged her and cried bitterly.
Cao Wanning said nothing, but just hugged Cao Zhong and shed tears silently.
The neighbors felt very sad and felt that it was not easy for the mother and son, so they tried to comfort them even more.
After listening to everyone's consolation, Cao Wanning wiped the tears from her face, pulled Cao Zhong to stand up, and solemnly thanked everyone.
Her serious attitude made the neighbors feel quite uncomfortable. They waved their hands, telling her not to be polite, and then hurriedly said goodbye.
After everyone left, Cao Wanning had the door closed. Then, she looked at Cao Zhong with a complicated expression, "Why did you say that just now?"
Cao Zhong suddenly became nervous: "Mother, am I wrong?"
Cao Wanning smiled and touched his face, tidying up his messy hair. "You did very well just now, but you can't be so smart in the future. If you want to do something, you have to tell me first. You can only do it if I tell you to. Do you understand?"
Cao Zhong nodded quickly and hugged Cao Wanning's hand pitifully: "Mother, I will be obedient in the future, please don't abandon me!"
Cao Wanning smiled lightly and deliberately asked him, "Your grandfather must be very angry this time. What do you think?"
