Chapter 35



Mrs. Cao wanted to say something, but blood spurted out of her face.

The old lady was sprayed in the face and screamed in despair: "Ah!" and her hands unconsciously relaxed.

"Bang!" Old Mrs. Cao fell to the ground.

"The poison has taken effect." Qin Ruchu said with her eyes wide open.

It was the first time she saw someone die in front of her, and she was scared, but she had to face it because she knew it was definitely not the first time.

"Go and inform the Cao family quickly." The old lady said calmly.

"Help, save me." Old Mrs. Cao grabbed the old lady's skirt and begged.

The old lady stepped on her hand and crushed it hard: "And then let you hurt me again?" She would not be that stupid.

Old Madam Cao spat out a mouthful of blood in pain, and said with a faint breath: "No, no, I won't dare to do it again."

She regrets it.

I wouldn't have been so reckless if I had known this earlier.

She overestimated her position in the old lady's heart and her trust in her.

She didn't know that if Qin Ruchu hadn't been there, the old lady would have really taken the poison pill without hesitation.

The old lady looked at the regret in Mrs. Cao's eyes, but she was not moved at all. She said calmly: "You regret not thinking of a foolproof plan, right?"

If there was even a little bit of her in her, she wouldn't be willing to treat her like this.

How could Mrs. Cao dare to admit it: "No, it's not."

Seeing her evasive gaze, the old lady knew that she had guessed right, and she seemed to have aged by 30 years.

She and Old Lady Cao had known each other since she got married, and she had long considered her her own sister. But in the end, she received such a 'reward'. It would be a lie to say that she was not upset.

"Old sister, I really know I was wrong, please believe me." Old Mrs. Cao used all her strength to shake the hem of her clothes.

"I want you to die." The old lady said word by word.

They've already fallen out, why does she think she would save her?

Old Madam Cao had never thought that she was so cruel that she would not save her. She suddenly bit her ankle. She wanted her to die, right? Then don't blame her for being rude. Even if she couldn't kill her, she would tear off a piece of her flesh.

It's like literally tearing off a piece of flesh.

"Ah." The old lady screamed in pain as her ankle was suddenly bitten. The pain aroused the ferocity in her bones. She grabbed Old Lady Cao's neck and said, "How dare you bite me? I'll kill you."

Old Mrs. Cao couldn't move. She had already used up all her strength just now. She looked at the old lady with resentment. She had been suppressed by her all her life, and in the end, she couldn't even realize her wish to take her away. Why did Tian favor her so much? Why?

Mrs. Cao, whose heart was heaving with anxiety, spat out a mouthful of blood.

The old lady turned her head away, and blood splattered on her neck and clothes. She resisted the urge to wipe it off and increased the strength in her hands.

Mrs. Cao saw the patience in her eyes and wanted to give her a final slap, but her strength gradually disappeared, her eyelids became heavy, and she slowly and unwillingly closed her eyes.

"mother."

There was a sudden call from the door.

Cao Fangqiu didn't expect to see this scene as soon as he arrived. He stumbled over and caught the body of Old Lady Cao.

"Mom, wake up, Mom."

But no matter how he called, Mrs. Cao would never wake up.

He glared at the old lady: "Why did you kill my mother? Why?"

If he had not been sane, he would have killed her.

The old lady looked at his scowling appearance, raised her eyelids and glanced at him, her eyes full of disdain: "I didn't kill her, she died of poisoning."

Cao Fangqiu automatically ignored the first half of her sentence, "You actually poisoned my mother!"

Seeing that he didn't understand what she was saying, the old lady was too lazy to say more to him. She looked at Old Man Cao and said, "Take her away. Since we know each other, I will leave her body intact."

Otherwise, considering what Old Lady Cao had done to her, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she should be torn into pieces by five horses.

"You must give us an explanation, otherwise we can't leave." Cao Fangqiu said while holding the body of Old Lady Cao.

"How can you yell like that?" Old Man Cao scolded, then looked at the old lady, "You just said that my wife died of poisoning. Can I ask what kind of poison she was poisoned with and how she was poisoned?"

The old lady usually didn't have much contact with old man Cao. After all, she was a woman and he was a man. Even if they met, they would just say hello. Today was the first time she dealt with old man Cao. She couldn't help but sigh that he was worthy of being an official. Even though old man Cao was the Minister of Taichang Temple in a leisurely government office, he was still not a simple person. He asked the key points as soon as he opened the conversation.

She sighed, "To be honest, she came to me early this morning and said she had medicine for me. She had personally gone to the pharmacy to get the medicine. After I took it, not only did all my injuries heal, but it also strengthened my body. I thought, how could I be so shameless to take such good medicine from others, so I fed it to her."

"Hello?"

Cao Fangqiu and Old Man Cao spoke in unison, and they both noticed this unusual word.

The old lady looked helpless: "Yes, I gave it back to her, but she refused. I was too lazy to argue with her, so I just fed it to her. Who knew..."

At this point, the old lady burst into tears.

"How would you know what?"

Cao Fangqiu and Old Man Cao asked again, their tone full of impatience.

Cry, cry, cry. All they do is cry. Women are so annoying.

"But she panicked all of a sudden. She begged me to save her, saying she was poisoned. It turned out that the pill contained arsenic, a poison she prepared specifically for me. I was so angry. I treated her as a sister, but she wanted to poison me to death..."

"So you just watched my mother die?" Cao Fangqiu interrupted her.

"Otherwise, why would I save someone who wants to harm me?" the old lady asked.

"How can you be so cruel?" Cao Fangqiu looked at her with vicious eyes.

"Ha, don't you listen to what you are saying?" The old lady thought it was funny.

"You said my wife poisoned you. Do you have any evidence?" Old man Cao suddenly asked.

"That's right, do you have evidence?" Cao Fangqiu asked with his chin raised.

Qin Ruchu: "Oh my god, these two are planning to cheat the Marquis's mansion."

System: "Host, you know that there are only two kinds of people sleeping under the same quilt."

Mrs. Cao was capable of poisoning her best friend, so what good was old man Cao, her partner?

The old lady took a deep breath and calmed down: "It was your wife who ordered the purchase of arsenic. Ask the people who serve her. Someone will know."

"Some people say that your master poisoned someone. Is that true? Tell me." Old Man Cao shouted at the grandmother and maid who were serving Old Madam Cao.

The grandmother and the maid looked at each other and knelt down together: "I don't know."

"You see, old lady, they don't know." Old man Cao's tone was extremely humble, but everyone could hear a hint of treachery in it.

The old lady glared at him coldly and said, "Then give him a beating, and then you'll know."

"Do you want to torture me into confessing?" Old man Cao looked at her expressionlessly.

"Let go, I'll make you obey." The old lady sat back in her chair and said, "Fight!"

Immediately, a maidservant pressed the grandmother and the maid brought by Old Lady Cao onto chairs and beat them to death.

For a moment, the room was filled with the sound of beatings and wailing.

The maids and old women screamed so miserably that a layer of gloom appeared in the sky.

"I say, I say." One of the grandmothers spoke weakly.

She doesn't want to die.

Her son hasn't married yet, and she wants to see him get married and have children.

Old man Cao looked at her as if he were a dead person. Grandma shuddered, but she had no intention of turning back the arrow. She gritted her teeth and said, "The pills were made by the court doctor. You can ask him and he will tell you."

Once there is a first, there will be a second. Everyone told what they knew, who bought the arsenic, who prepared the box. Old Mrs. Cao was very confident that she could take the old lady away, and when things broke out, she would not be able to escape, so she never concealed it, and everything was done by the people around her.

Therefore, the old lady easily pieced together the whole story.

"Go and bring the court physician from Cao Mansion here." The old lady said sternly.

"No need." Old man Cao said. If you listened carefully, you could hear the gnashing of teeth.

"Why not?" the old lady asked knowingly.

"The whole matter is clear now. It was indeed my wife who poisoned her. I will take her away now." Old man Cao lowered his head and bowed.

"What do you think the Marquis' Mansion is? You can come when you want and leave when you want?" The old lady slammed the table.

"I'm sorry." Old man Cao apologized quickly.

"Just an apology?"

Is he dreaming too much? He is so ugly.

When Old Man Cao heard her words, he knew that he was bleeding. He endured the pain and said, "To express my apology, I will send you an apology gift later."

"Forget it, I don't care about your trivial matters, just ask you to pay for the supplements." The old lady said.

Old man Cao wanted to curse. Could the supplements from the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion be cheap? And he only wanted the money for the supplements? Couldn't he just say he wanted him to cut his meat? Why was he pretending?
