"You damned bastard, you can't even hold a bowl properly, what are you doing here?" Wang Dujuan heard the noise and rushed out of the house like a gust of wind. Seeing the mess on the ground, she couldn't help but get angry and cursed loudly.
Yang Chunxiao looked at Wang Dujuan in horror, and shrank behind the stove where the medicine was being boiled.
Fortunately, Wang Dujuan's slap did not fall on her, and the person standing at the door interrupted Wang Dujuan's cursing.
"Mom." Yang Chunxue glanced disdainfully at the trembling Yang Chunxiao and walked straight towards Wang Dujuan: "Mom, you still have the mood to care about medicine? Do you know what I saw today?"
"What are you yelling about? Did you see a ghost?"
"I told you to guess right, that's almost like seeing a ghost. Do you know what that little bitch Yang Donghu is doing right now?"
Yang Chunxue was furious at the mention of this. She waved her hand and asked Xingyue to place the peach blossom cake in front of Wang Dujuan: "Look, this is something you saw last time but didn't eat. Such a small cake costs 80 coins. Do you know who made this? Yang Donghu, the Yang Donghu we sold!"
"What?" Wang Dujuan asked in astonishment, "Are you talking nonsense? How could that little bitch be capable of such a thing?"
"Look, I told you and you still didn't believe me, Xingyue, you tell me."
Xingyue stepped forward from behind Yang Chunxue. She was afraid that Wang Dujuan would be even more ruthless than Yang Chunxue, so she said respectfully, "Miss Chunxue is telling the truth. Today, when I went to the restaurant to buy peach blossom cakes for her, I heard the waiter and Yang Donghu discussing making some other things to sell."
After hearing this, Wang Dujuan slammed the table with her palm and said sternly, "Great, he's really capable. When he was eating and drinking for free, he was in our house, but when he made money, it all went into the Zhao family's pockets. I gave birth to him and raised him, but I didn't know he was so well-concealed."
"Who says it isn't?" Yang Chunxue couldn't ignore the faint bitter smell of medicine. She quickly shifted the blame onto Old Lady Yang, whispering to herself, "Who in our family knows about this? The Zhao family is just peasants. I think the only one who knows about such exquisite things is that old fellow in the house, so he's a bit suspicious."
"Mom, think about it carefully. Yang Donghu was raised by the old lady since he was a child. They must have a deeper relationship with him than with us. If she has any good things, she will only tell him and not us. It's possible that she was the one who came up with the idea for Yang Donghu."
Wang Dujuan believed what she said. When she first got married, she heard from others that the old lady's ancestors were wealthy. Although they fell into poverty later, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. When the old lady married off her son, she gave Wang Dujuan a lot of jewelry, which were all real good things.
She would rather believe that the old lady was knowledgeable and secretly taught Yang Donghu a skill that would help him survive than believe that this was Yang Donghu's own idea. How could a person who had never had enough food or warm clothes since childhood and had never even been to a town make such exquisite snacks?
"This hateful old thing really can't tell the difference between inside and outside. She doesn't think about her own grandson when she has something good, but instead gives it to outsiders. What's going on in her head? Hasn't she ever thought about relying on me for her old age?"
"Mom, you're not ruthless enough. You keep saying we need to take it slow and let the old lady's health wear down. But there's no need to go through so much trouble. Everyone knows she's not in good health. Even if she dies after taking a strong dose of medicine, what else can anyone doubt? As long as Dad doesn't pursue the matter, who would bother to investigate the cause of death? Anyway, the old lady is bedridden now, so it's reasonable for you to call Yang Donghu over to serve her today. Things like this should be dealt with as soon as possible. Leaving it too long will always cause trouble."
Yang Chunxue has indifferent feelings towards the old lady, even disgusted with her. From childhood to adulthood, she has snatched many things from Yang Donghu, and Wang Dujuan and Yang Dali would always be on her side.
But the old lady only had eyes for Yang Donghu, and the food she hid was only given to Yang Donghu. Whenever Yang Chunxue went to ask for it, she would always be lectured by the old lady. Gradually, she also disliked the old lady.
In fact, the old lady did not refuse to give her the food, but Yang Chunxue always wanted to eat alone and was unwilling to share the food equally. She wanted to leave no food for Yang Donghu, and she would cry and make a fuss if her wish was not fulfilled. Wang Dujuan could not point at the old lady and scold her, so she took out her anger on Yang Donghu in a roundabout way, which gave the old lady a headache.
After all, this was a matter of life and death, so Wang Dujuan didn't dare to act too boldly. Xingyue and Yang Chunxiao were still standing nearby. Listening to Yang Chunxue's outrageous words, Wang Dujuan quickly interrupted her: "Don't talk nonsense. Is it so easy to kill someone? Besides, she's my mother-in-law. If I did it, it would be a capital crime. And you asked Yang Donghu to come over today. Isn't there an evil star guarding the door when that fierce Zhu Cuilan is not at home? Aren't you afraid that he will come and cause trouble for you?"
They also knew that Zhao Luochuan had a bad temper. If they really made him angry, he would probably not stab the table with a knife but his body.
"That's easy. We can use this as an excuse to lure him away. With Master Li backing him up, what's there to be afraid of? He can't defeat Master Li. Then, we can just throw Yang Donghu onto Master Li's bed. The matter is settled. Zhao Luochuan is just a hunter. Does he really have the ability to fight against the Zhang family?"
Wang Dujuan thought about it for a moment and felt that it made some sense. She was about to say something but stopped herself and said to Xingyue, "You, go wait outside. I didn't tell you not to come in."
Then he pointed at Yang Chunxiao and said, "You little bitch, you're so slow to pack up. Why don't you go out and find a place to bury the broken bowl? Are you cursing me? You can't even do such a small thing. You don't have to eat dinner tonight."
Xingyue bowed and stepped back. Yang Chunxiao picked up the broken pieces of the bowl and followed her out of the yard, then turned around and closed the gate.
Xingyue was standing at the door. Yang Chunxiao couldn't eavesdrop through the crack in the door, so he went around to the east side of the courtyard wall under the pretext of burying the bowl. There was a small dog hole in a hidden corner, which was tightly blocked by grass. He couldn't see what was happening in the courtyard, but he could still hear the conversation clearly.
It can be seen that Yang Chunxue really hated Yang Donghu. Even though he couldn't see her face, Yang Chunxiao could imagine how vicious the expression on her face was from the sound of her gnashing teeth.
"I've thought it all out. Young Master Li is very capable. Just tell him to find any excuse to trick Zhao Luochuan into going to town. All he needs is one night in town, and we'll be done. When he comes back from town and sees my husband lying with someone else, he'll be furious. Then we'll see how embarrassed they are. After losing face like that, it's hard to believe they still want Yang Donghu."
Wang Dujuan pondered for a moment. "Yang Donghu's temper is getting worse. Is forcing him a good idea? It's not hard to trick him into coming home, but there are neighbors nearby. What if Yang Donghu starts struggling and they hear him? Or what if he refuses to comply?"
