Chapter 208 Cao Chunxi must die tonight
Chunxi insisted that he was possessed by an evil spirit and that not only would he be unable to organize the birthday party for Marquis Qingyuan, but he would also bring bloodshed to other people. He left with a grumble and did not give a penny.
The Shen family couldn't do anything to her, so they could only point their spearhead at Shen Qingchi.
Everyone knows what kind of bad temper Cao Chunxi has. You were the one who suggested that she host your father's birthday party, but you didn't try to beg or coax her. As soon as you entered the door, you said that she looked unhappy. Have you lost your mind after becoming the fourth young lady of the Taifu Mansion?
Shen Qingchi has been flattered by the Shen family these days. She originally wanted to find an excuse to laugh at Chunxi, but she was outmaneuvered and scolded.
Shen Qingchi left the Marquis' Mansion with a lot of resentment. She did not return to the Grand Tutor's Mansion, but went to the Mo family to meet Ning.
After Mo Yunwan's death, Ning became extremely thin. Now her eye sockets are sunken, her eyes are dull, and there is a faint aura of death around her.
Today she was in a rare good mood and even had the leisure to water the flowers and plants in the yard.
Shen Qingchi dismissed the servants and spoke softly, "I just went to the Marquis' Mansion to see my sister-in-law. Although my brother has not been in the capital these days, my sister-in-law has now married Princess Hengyang. She is living a comfortable life and looks very good. I have said before that my sister-in-law is a cold-hearted person. After marrying my brother, she even disowned her own mother. Aunt, please stop."
Ning was watering a crabapple tree. The tree was lush and its flowers were in full bloom. Upon hearing Shen Qingchi's words, Ning's face suddenly became gloomy and terrifying. She used the gourd watering can to lash out at the crabapple tree, knocking all the flowers to the ground before she gasped, "Why should I stop? I want her to pay for my Wan'er's life!"
"But my eldest sister-in-law is very smart, and my eldest brother has hired many guards at home. If we delay for a few days, my eldest sister-in-law might find out that it was my aunt who had her mother and nephew kidnapped. Then my aunt will not only fail to get revenge, but will also get herself implicated."
Shen Qingchi's words seemed to be out of worry, but in fact he was urging Ning to act quickly and not give Chunxi a chance to fight back.
Ning Shi did not disappoint Shen Qingchi's expectations. She laughed coldly and said, "I have sent a letter. If she doesn't come alone tonight, she will have no choice but to collect the bodies of her mother and nephew!"
It is already noon and it will be evening soon.
Shen Qingchi felt the resentment that had been choking him loosen up a bit, but he still felt uneasy: "Even if my sister-in-law comes alone, if she's wearing a hidden arrow, she can still hurt people. Has my aunt really made all the necessary preparations? What if..."
Ning interrupted Shen Qingchi directly: "No matter what happens, Cao Chunxi must die tonight!"
Ning's sunken eyes were filled with bloodshot and vicious hatred, and she wished she could tear Chunxi into pieces immediately.
Shen Qingchi no longer questioned and whispered, "If my sister-in-law died, my brother would definitely not let it go when he came back. If he knew that I had told my aunt about my sister-in-law's family, I'm afraid..."
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone," Ning immediately dispelled Shen Qingchi's concerns. She raised her hand and stroked Shen Qingchi's cheek, as if she saw her own daughter through Shen Qingchi. "I have prepared poisoned wine. Once Cao Chunxi dies, I will also take the poison and go to accompany Wan'er. You should live well in her place."
At the end of the story, the hatred in Ning's eyes melted away, and her eyes became moist, filled with maternal love.
That was the love that Shen Qingchi had never felt from Mo.
Shen Qingchi's eyes were filled with tears, and he suddenly found it difficult to face Ning. He said a few words in a hurry and left.
Sitting in the carriage back to the Taifu Mansion, Shen Qingchi felt very complicated.
She hated Chunxi during the time when she willingly became a concubine and was sent to the Taifu's house where she was despised and humiliated.
She hated Chunxi for changing Shen Qingyuan, and hated Chunxi even more for pretending to know nothing and luring her and her mother into the trap step by step. If not for this, she would not have been so confused and deceived by Li Jixian.
So after hearing about Mo Yunwan's death, she took the initiative to find her second aunt, wanting to join forces with her to take revenge on Chunxi, but she soon became pregnant and was made Li Jixian's wife. Her life became better and her hatred for Chunxi diminished a lot.
She had originally wanted to persuade her second aunt to give up revenge, but Cao Chunxi and Princess Hengyang beat her fifth aunt together, and Princess Hengyang even made her fifth aunt kneel in public.
It was the suggestion of the Fifth Aunt that she was promoted to the position of legitimate wife. After the Fifth Aunt came back, she treated her very well and even persuaded the old lady to invite people from the Marquis' Mansion to dinner at the Grand Tutor's Mansion, giving her great respect. However, her eldest sister-in-law trampled on the Fifth Aunt's face.
Although Fifth Aunt was kind-hearted and never made a fuss with her, and even gave her many supplements to help her build up her body, everyone in the Grand Tutor's Mansion treated her like an ungrateful person.
In her guilt towards her fifth aunt, she discovered that as long as Cao Chunxi was around, there would be endless troubles.
The eldest brother will not be close to her and become her backer, the second and third brothers will be suppressed and unable to make a name for themselves, and Cao Chunxi will even join forces with Princess Hengyang to make it difficult for the fifth aunt to gain a foothold in Hanjing.
Perhaps, Cao Chunxi was aiming to seize the family property from the very beginning. She and her second and third brothers had all obstructed Cao Chunxi from dividing the family property, so even if the property is divided now, Cao Chunxi would not let them have an easy time.
As soon as this idea came up, it took root in Shen Qingchi's mind.
So, she went to her second aunt again...
Wan'er's cousin was killed by Cao Chunxi. Second aunt already hated Cao Chunxi. She just suggested that they could start from the Cao family, and second aunt found someone to make a plan herself.
In fact, she didn't do anything.
My eldest brother has been married to Cao Chunxi for only a few months. Even if he likes her a little, his feelings are probably not deep. After Cao Chunxi dies, my fifth aunt will help my eldest brother marry a better girl. My eldest brother will soon forget about this person, and the relationship between the two families will be closer.
So Cao Chunxi's death is good for everyone.
**
Chunxi did not go home, but hid outside the Marquis' Mansion and followed Shen Qingchi all the way.
Seeing Shen Qingchi coming out of the Mo family, Chunxi had a vague guess in his mind.
She did not continue to follow Shen Qingchi and went straight home.
As soon as the carriage stopped at the door, the doorman came running in hurriedly: "Madam, someone just threw a letter into the mansion with a stone."
The doorman had a very bad look on his face. As soon as Chunxi entered the mansion, he immediately brought out a letter and something wrapped in cloth.
The fabric was very ordinary. The original dark blue had turned into bluish white after being washed many times.
In Chunxi's memory, Wang often wore clothes of this color.
Her face darkened and she reached out to open the thing. The doorman whispered, "There's a finger inside. It looks scary. Madam, you should read the letter first."
Chunxi's fingertips trembled slightly, but she still opened the thing in the cloth.
Although he already knew what was inside, the doorman couldn't help but turn his head and retch when he saw it again.
Chunxi didn't vomit, but observed the things in front of him calmly.
After a long time, she was sure that the finger belonged to her mother.
