Chapter 942 Aunt is not a stepmother (17)

"It's all because of you! Your vicious mother poisoned me. If I had known this would happen, I should have strangled you to death when you were born..." After Xun Xiu returned home, he went straight to Xun Yiming who was reviewing his lessons in the study. He walked up to him angrily and was about to strangle him.

Xun Yiming was startled and quickly dodged Xun Xiu. He was almost fourteen years old now, and Xun Xiu had been angry and tormented all night last night because of the shocking information that he was poisoned. His body could not bear it, so Xun Yiming easily dodged his hands.

"Dad! What do you mean by poisoning? My mother has passed away for several years, how could I poison you?" Xun Yiming looked at Xun Xiu with an unwilling look in his eyes. He had not had a good life in these years. Xun Xiu, because of the feud with the Cao family, took his anger out on Xun Yiming and Xun Linyuan, who were the grandchildren of the Cao family, and beat and scolded the two siblings. Xun Yiming had long been resentful of this father.

In their previous life, this father and son were very loving and filial. Unexpectedly, in this life, without Cao Shichu, the scapegoat who served as the glue between them, they became like this.

"That vicious woman poisoned me before she died! She was afraid that I would give birth to a child with my later wife and threaten the interests of you and your sister, so she poisoned me once and for all and made it impossible for me to have a child in my life!" Xun Xiu's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Xun Yiming.

Xun Yiming was stunned, then immediately retorted: "Impossible, my mother is not that kind of person. Isn't your problem caused by a psychological trauma? How can it be caused by poisoning?"

"I've consulted a miracle doctor. Your vicious mother gave me a strange poison that was only available in the previous dynasty. Ordinary doctors couldn't tell what it was. Fortunately, God helps, and the miracle doctor finally found out what it was. Don't try to deny it. Except for your mother, I have never offended anyone. Only your mother has the greatest motive to do such a thing! I should have married that vicious woman. She has ruined my life..." Xun Xiu cursed with gritted teeth, and while Xun Yiming was in disbelief, he quietly moved his feet towards him.

Then, with lightning speed, he pounced on Xun Yiming, grabbed his neck fiercely with both hands, and shouted in hatred: "Go to hell! You deserve to die!"

Xun Yiming was caught off guard by his hands. His neck was pinched so hard that he couldn't breathe. His cheeks had turned purple from lack of oxygen and his eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets. However, he still used all his strength to try to tear away Xun Xiu's hands that were pinching his neck.

But Xun Xiu was an adult man after all, and with the motivation of hatred, Xun Yiming couldn't break free at all. He struggled less and less, and his eyes gradually became distracted...

However, he probably had not yet died. At this moment, his servant came in with tea from outside the door. He saw Xun Xiu trying to kill Xun Yiming and was so frightened that he dropped the tea in his hand. He screamed and ran out, shouting, "Oh no! The master is going to strangle me to death!"

Fortunately, Xun Yiming's study was in the main room of the Xun Mansion. There were many servants passing by. When they heard the servant's shouting, they rushed in to stop the tragic incident of father and son killing each other.

In the end, Xun Yiming was rescued by the servants. Xun Xiu was held back, but he continued to curse Cao Shuhui for being vicious and for damning Xun Yiming and Xun Linyuan. As he was cursing, he told the truth about his own conjecture that Cao Shuhui poisoned him in order to secure the status of her two biological children.

When Xun Xiu's father learned that his son was going to kill his grandson, he almost fainted. He was so angry that he took the pills he always kept with him and barely managed to hold on. Then he went and scolded Xun Xiu severely.

Because this incident of father killing his son was an attempted murder, it was suppressed by Xun's father. After all, it was a family disgrace, and their Xun family could no longer be the subject of other people's jokes. It was a pity that the servants who heard Xun Xiu scolding Cao Shuhui and Xun Yiming had no intention of keeping it a secret from their master, and Xun Xiu's conjectures were still spread. So a few years after his death, Cao Shuhui became a vicious woman who poisoned her husband, and her reputation was terrible, which was a good match for Xun Xiu.

Although Old Master Xun severely punished Xun Xiu and comforted Xun Yiming, it was impossible to forget the fact that he was almost strangled to death by his biological father. Xun Yiming's resentment towards Xun Xiu became even deeper.

Xun Xiu's step-wife had originally been planning to slowly plan a divorce from Xun Xiu, but when she found out that he was going to strangle his own son because of a guess without any evidence, she quickly contacted her parents' home and successfully obtained the divorce in just two days. She fled from the Xun family as if she was escaping. She was afraid that if she didn't leave quickly, she would be strangled to death by the crazy Xun Xiu.

Cao Shichu heard about the farce of the Xun family in a teahouse more than two months later, when he went to Beijing to purchase some hard-to-source medicinal herbs. When he learned that Xun Xiu had almost strangled his own son and that Cao Shuhui's reputation was ruined after her death, Cao Shichu specially bought a bottle of good wine to celebrate.

After that, Cao Shichu continued to work as her female doctor and midwife, living a peaceful and comfortable life in Taohua Village, and no longer paid attention to the affairs of the Xun family.

In the blink of an eye, ten years passed and Xun Linyuan finally turned fifteen and met her deceitful lover who looked gorgeous on the outside but was actually rotten on the inside.

Cao Shichu had just finished delivering a baby in Beijing. When he came out of the alley, he accidentally saw a young couple pulling each other. He found that the shy woman looked exactly like Xun Linyuan in the original owner's memory. Then he remembered that it was time for Xun Linyuan to secretly get married to the liar.

Cao Shichu just glanced at them and pretended not to see them, passing by them.

If there had not been Cao Shichu's investigation in this life, the brainless Xun Linyuan would not have known that her lover was a liar. Cao Shichu suddenly came up with an idea. Why not let the two of them elope?

Lovers should eventually get married. How cruel it would be to separate a pair of mandarin ducks alive?

So Cao Shichu bought several books about poor scholars and stories about rich daughters who eloped with poor scholars, and threw them into Xun Linyuan's boudoir at night and placed them in a conspicuous place.

Cao Shichu didn't think that what he did was too much for Xun Linyuan. In her previous life, Xun Linyuan knew how to team up with her brother to cause the original owner to have a miscarriage at a very young age. When her affair was almost discovered by Xun Xiu, she was able to make a quick decision to frame the original owner to exonerate herself. She didn't care about the original owner's subsequent miserable situation at all, and never showed any concern or help.

Compared with her ungrateful and ungrateful behavior, Cao Shichu was already merciful by just pushing her and hinting at her to elope.
