Chapter 56 Never Come Back Again

"How come you're so irritable after getting married? He's your biological brother. When he was little, he would smile whenever he saw you. Why are you..."

Chunxi's aura was intimidating, and Wang was frightened, but she felt that it was impossible for her to really not recognize Cao Wen as her brother, so she still muttered aloud.

Chunxi didn't argue with Wang, but turned around and walked out.

This time Shen Qingyuan didn't stop him and stood up.

Wang was panicking. Just then, Cao Wu came back from outside after buying some braised meat. Wang shouted, "Awu, stop your sister! Don't let her go!"

Cao Wu knew nothing. When he heard Wang's words, he subconsciously reached for Chunxi's hand. Shen Qingyuan spoke at this moment: "Qingshu, protect the young lady!"

At a command, Qingshu drew his sword and rushed between the two of them. The sword flashed, and Cao Wu was forced to retract his hand as soon as it touched Chunxi's hand. The scene became cold.

Aunt Li heard the noise and came over, carrying a basket of fresh peas as a thank you gift. Seeing the family was on edge, she didn't dare get too close. She just stood outside the door and asked, "Ah Xi's mother, what's going on? Why did you resort to knife-slaying for no reason?"

Wang didn't expect Shen Qingyuan to have someone draw the sword. Qingshu and Cao Wu were very close just now. If Cao Wu had withdrawn his hand a little slower, they might have been injured.

Wang was terrified, afraid and angry: "You are such a cruel girl! This is your own brother, are you going to have his hand chopped off?"

Cao Wu wasn't frightened, but he was confused. He scratched his head, looking puzzled: "A Xi, what happened?"

Chunxi didn't explain and turned to walk out. At this time, Cao Wen finally pushed Wang away and ran over to grab her sleeve: "Sister, don't go. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have listened to my mother's lies to you and my brother-in-law. No one in the academy bullies me. I also like the new teacher. I don't want to change places to study."

Cao Wu immediately looked at Wang. "Mother, the teachers at Qingfeng Academy are all very good. Awen has made great progress since he started here. Why are you sending him to another place for no reason?"

Qingfeng Academy is definitely better than where Cao Wen studied before, but it is far inferior to the Yun clan school.

Chunxi doesn't want a dowry, nor does she let Shen Qingyuan give a betrothal gift. She is even stingy with the return gift. She will definitely not be able to rely on him in the future. Only by letting Cao Wen enter the Yun clan to study and become successful in the future, can she, as his mother, truly enjoy a good life.

Wang's plan was very good, but she didn't expect Chunxi's attitude to be so bad. Even Shen Qingyuan didn't give her, the mother-in-law, face.

Wang's face turned grim as she forced herself to say, "A mother naturally wishes well for her child. I was thinking that since Ah Wen has a brother-in-law, he might be able to go to a better place to study."

"Then you can't teach Awen to lie."

Cao Wu's face was filled with disapproval. He also understood why Chunxi left in anger. He said sullenly, "Qingfeng Academy is already a very good institution. If Ah Wen has this talent, the academy professor will recommend him to study in a better place. If he doesn't have this talent, even if my brother-in-law arranges for him to enter the Imperial College, he won't learn anything."

Wang certainly knew her son's capabilities, but even if he failed to learn, it would be good for him to enter the Yun clan school and make more friends with some young nobles.

However, Cao Wu was so stupid that he couldn't think of these things at all.

Wang didn't want to make things too awkward, so she softened her tone and said, "Even if I was wrong about this matter, I will never interfere in Awen's affairs again. Whether Awen has a future or not is none of my business, okay?"

Cao Wu had been with Wang all year round, always hearing her talk about how difficult these years had been. He was very filial to her, and when he saw her angry, he softened his tone, "Mom, no one asked you to stop caring about Awen, but it was wrong for you to let Awen lie."

Cao Wu's surrender seemed to have touched a switch, and Wang suddenly burst into tears.

"Your father died young, and only I know how difficult it was for me to raise three children all these years. I have never been to school, and I have no experience. I am just a woman in the market who is greedy for money. Ah Xi, you are now the young lady of the Marquis' Mansion, so it is natural for you to look down on me. Since you are worried that I can't teach your brother well, then take him with you and teach him yourself."

Even if he couldn't enter the Yun clan school, as long as Cao Wen lived in the marquis's mansion with Chunxi, he would be able to meet some noble people.

But who would bring their brother-in-law to their husband's home right after getting married?

Even Cao Wu, a stubborn man, knew there was something wrong with what his mother said. He immediately said, "Mom, what are you talking about? I'm the eldest son in the family. Dad's not around, so I should be the one teaching Ah Wen. How can I push it onto Ah Xi?"

"You can't even take care of your own wife and children. You drag your injured leg back to the lumberyard to work. How can you have time to teach Ah Wen? You're away from home all year round. It's okay for your sister to blame me, but if your wife blames me too, how can Ah Wen remember the kindness of you as his big brother?"

Wang's words sounded sarcastic, as if Chunxi was not returning home today, but had come back deliberately to sow discord and snatch Cao Wen away.

"Mom, Ah Xi is not that kind of person!"

Cao Wu was a little angry, but Wang refused to listen and pulled Aunt Li to complain to her.

Aunt Li had seen Chunxi's power before, so she didn't dare to get involved. She just listened quietly without saying anything.

Chunxi had long known that her mother was full of nonsense. She didn't get angry, nor did she argue with Wang. She just looked down at Cao Wen and said, "You heard what mother said. Do you want to go with my sister?"

Although Chunxi's tone was gentle, her expression was serious. Cao Wen had never left home. Although his mother told him that the mansion was big and rich, and that his sister and brother-in-law were there, he was still very scared.

Cao Wen was a little afraid to answer, and Wang scolded him harshly, "You little idiot, what are you doing? Your sister wants to take you to the Marquis' Mansion to enjoy happiness, what are you doing standing there?"

Cao Wen trembled all over when he was yelled at. He was afraid that he would be beaten if he stayed, so he could only grab Chunxi's sleeve and nodded: "I want to go with my sister."

Chunxi turned her head to look at Shen Qingyuan, and Shen Qingyuan immediately said: "Madam, it's up to you to decide. We listen to your will in all matters concerning our family."

Chunxi pulled out his sleeves and said to Cao Wen, "I'll give you a quarter of an hour to pack your things."

Cao Wen went back to the house obediently. Cao Wu disagreed and said, "Axi, I will take time to take care of Awen in the future. You don't have to take him away."

Chunxi had already let go, and Wang Shi would not allow her to regret it. She immediately covered her chest and cried out in pain.

"Mom, stop acting!"

Cao Wu was a little impatient, but as Wang's cries of pain got louder, he couldn't help but waver, fearing that Wang was really uncomfortable.

Chunxi knew that her eldest brother was the softest-hearted, so she said calmly, "Mother feels uncomfortable when she sees me. I won't be back in the future. If you miss Awen, or if you have any questions, you can come to the Marquis' Mansion to find me."

After saying this, Chunxi walked out of the house without looking back.
