Chapter 103 From now on, Wan'er will be respected and you will be humble
As soon as the kitchen knife came out, the whole hall fell silent.
Chunxi then looked at Wu: "Grandma, I didn't quite hear what you said just now. Could you please say it again?"
Chunxi already had the knife in her hand. How could Wu dare to say it again? But with so many people watching, she couldn't admit defeat. She could only say with a stern face, "You still know that I am your grandmother, how can you talk to me? You are the young lady of the Marquis's Mansion after all. How can you come to see your elders with a kitchen knife?"
Because she was afraid, Wu didn't dare to curse anymore and even used fancy words.
However, just as he finished his words, the kitchen knife in Chunxi's hand flew out and chopped the back of the armchair where Wu was sitting with a thud.
Chunxi's movements were too fast, and Wu had no time to dodge, and the kitchen knife cut a hole in her sleeve.
“Ahhhh!”
Wu screamed, and the others also cried out in surprise. No one expected Chunxi to actually take action.
Chunxi's expression remained unchanged. He took three or two steps forward, stepped on the armchair, and easily pulled out the kitchen knife.
After pulling out the kitchen knife, she didn't retreat in a hurry. She kept that posture and looked at Wu: "Grandma, can you repeat what you just said now?"
Wu was so frightened that her entire body went limp. She didn't dare to be stubborn anymore and quickly said, "I didn't say anything just now. You are the grandson's wife who was personally chosen by my grandson. You must be no bad one. From now on, I will only recognize you as my grandson's wife."
Mrs. Wu's voice was trembling a little.
In her eyes, Chunxi is no longer a young wife who can be manipulated at will, but a female demon who can pick up a kitchen knife and kill people. How can her old bones withstand such torture?
After receiving a satisfactory answer, Chunxi finally smiled: "So that's how it is. Then I must have misheard just now."
The kitchen knife was twirled in her hand, and Chunxi tucked it back behind her waist. She regained her initial gentleness and looked at everyone: "I'm sorry, I scared you all. I didn't mean to. It's just that I've encountered so many assassins along the way with my husband that I've unconsciously developed the habit of carrying something for self-defense. Are there so many of you gathered here today? Is there something important to discuss?"
Everyone: “…”
You almost killed your husband's grandmother with this knife, and you still have the nerve to say you didn't mean it?
That's a chair made of top-quality huanghuali wood. How much strength did it take to cut such a deep cut in it?
Besides, didn’t you already know that your husband’s second wife was resurrected? Now that the two families are sitting together, how could you not know what they are discussing?
Everyone automatically ignored the assassination and thought Chunxi was just talking nonsense. But after seeing her show such a skill, no one dared to ask her to leave, and they could only turn their attention to Mrs. Mo.
After all, the decision on this matter still lies with her, the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion.
Mrs. Mo originally wanted to let Mrs. Wu dampen Chunxi's arrogance first, and then take action to control Chunxi when the time was right. However, Chunxi went to Xuzhou, and after returning, he acted even more absurd and bold. Now being watched by everyone, Mrs. Mo could only curse in her heart.
These people are very eloquent in front of her, but when something really happens, they all become cowardly. What's the use of them?
But no matter how much you curse, you still have to get things done.
After taking two deep breaths to calm herself, Madam Mo said solemnly, "This is the Marquis's Mansion. There are no assassins. Hand over the knife first."
As she spoke, Mrs. Mo gave a wink to Aunt Jia, indicating that she should take the kitchen knife away, otherwise who would dare to speak loudly to Chunxi?
Aunt Jia received the look, but was a little hesitant to step forward. She was also old, and after all, she was just a servant. The young lady didn't dare to touch her, but the old lady dared to hit her.
Chunxi took in all the changes in Nanny Jia's expression and said loudly, "I took this knife from the small kitchen in Wenxin Courtyard. I'll take it back with me later. Don't worry, mother. My husband and I have been away for so long, and the house has become quite dusty. If you don't have anything else to tell me, I'll go back and clean it."
Chunxi said this and made to leave. Mrs. Mo knew she couldn't delay any longer and quickly said, "Stop! Did I let you go?"
Chunxi stopped and looked at Mrs. Mo with raised eyebrows.
Madam Mo coughed lightly and said, "You should all know the relationship between Wan'er and Yuan'er. Wan'er accidentally fell off a cliff while trying to find Yuan'er. Over the years, she was seriously injured and lost her memory. She has been recuperating at the home of a miracle doctor to repay her gratitude. It was previously confirmed in Xuzhou that she is still innocent. I have discussed this with the elders of the Mo family. After all, she entered the family before you. Now that she is back, she will be the superior and you will be the inferior."
Chunxi had a knife in his hand, so Mrs. Mo didn't dare to kick him out of the house. She just vaguely decided on the hierarchy. As for the hierarchy, whether it meant letting Chunxi be a co-wife or a concubine, it could be discussed later.
Mrs. Mo had a tough attitude and had no intention of discussing with Chunxi, she just wanted to inform him.
Before Chunxi could speak, Shen Qingyu couldn't wait to sneer and said, "Did you hear me? I told you long ago that the Marquis' Mansion only recognizes one eldest young lady. A rude and shrewish woman like you is not qualified to be my sister-in-law!"
Chunxi glanced at Shen Qingyu coldly: "Third brother's head is about to be chopped off for me to sit on, and you still have the energy to choose your favorite sister-in-law. You are too ambitious."
The phrase "the beloved sister-in-law" pierced the secret deep in Shen Qingyu's heart. His face changed slightly, and he was about to curse, but Shen Qingyue pulled Shen Qingyu back: "That's enough, third brother, stop it."
After Shen Qingyu calmed down, Chunxi looked at Mo Yunwan and asked, "Is this what Miss Mo meant?"
Mo Yunwan lowered her eyes, not daring to meet Chunxi's. She only said aggrievedly, "Marriage is a matter of great importance to the reputation of both families. With so many elders here today, it's not Wan'er's turn to speak."
The implication was that she had no power to choose, so her previous statement in Xuzhou about her willingness to cancel the engagement was invalid, and she would listen to her elders.
Mrs. Ning hadn't seen her daughter in years. When she heard Chunxi questioning Mo Yunwan, she immediately became furious and said, "Wan'er is right. Marriage is a matter for the elders in the family. It's not your turn as a junior to speak here. Someone, please invite the Cao family in!"
At Ning's command, Wang walked into the hall.
Perhaps she had been threatened, Wang lowered her head, hunched her back, and looked extremely timid and cowardly.
Wang bowed respectfully to everyone, but her expression changed when she faced Chunxi. She put her hands on her hips, glared at Chunxi, and habitually wanted to scold her daughter for causing trouble for her again.
However, before she could speak, Chunxi said, "I have severed my mother-daughter relationship with her. You have the wrong person. She cannot be my master."
Chunxi spoke in a cold tone and expression, and looked at Wang as if she were a stranger.
The scolding Wang had been preparing for the whole trip was stuck in her throat. Her head was buzzing and her hands were shaking uncontrollably. She asked in disbelief, "What did you say, you bastard?"
Chunxi didn't even look at Wang, and shouted coldly, "Come here, kick her out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the guards from Wenxinyuan appeared and carried Wang out.
The two guards were tall and strong, so Wang Shi didn't dare to resist. After a while, she finally cried out: "Cao Chunxi, I am your biological mother. If you don't acknowledge me, you will be struck by lightning!"
Chunxi was indifferent.
There are so many people in this world who deserve to be struck by lightning, who is she?
