Chapter 498 That's ruthless, uprooting the grave.
This time when Cao Wanning and Cao Zhong got into trouble, Xie Ying watched the whole process silently. After watching it, she had only one thought - Cao Wanning is really a wolf!
In order to deal with the Cao family, this woman actually took the initiative to plan a big drama!
She asked Luo Zheng for help and had her and Cao Zhong kidnapped, creating the illusion that they had escaped.
After the two were kidnapped, Cao Zhong nearly ended up being sold as a child prostitute, suffering greatly before finally escaping. Cao Wanning was put into a sack and thrown into the lake, only finally escaping by cutting the sack open with a knife she had concealed.
Of course, Cao Wanning did not really sink into the lake, she was just putting on a show.
She personally prepared a torn sack, filled it with stones, took a boat to the center of the lake at night, and threw them directly into the water.
She deliberately made some wounds on her body, took a boat back to the shore, then went into the water again. Finally, she climbed ashore soaking wet, pretending to have escaped from a sack.
Cao Zhong suffered a lot indeed.
Cao Wanning probably wanted him to empathize with her, to feel the fear and despair she felt when she was kidnapped by thieves, as well as the pain of being forced to give herself to others, so she deliberately let Luo Zheng's people stage a drama.
So when Cao Zhong woke up, he found that he had been kidnapped and there was no one he knew around him.
Those who captors did not give him food or water, leaving him thirsty and hungry.
Cao Zhong was terrified. He heard his captors say they would sell him to pirates as a pedophile. The kidnappers also deliberately touched him several times, which frightened him so much that he fought back desperately and ended up getting beaten up.
He suffered for several days before he finally found an opportunity to escape and ran back to Gusu City like a little beggar.
Although it was just acting, these people didn't really do anything to him, they just starved him for a few meals.
But these few short days have already caused Cao Zhong immense suffering.
When he returned to Gusu, Cao Wanning had already fallen ill in bed because of her "longing for her son."
So after Cao Zhong ran back home with difficulty, he smelled a strong smell of medicine as soon as he entered the house and saw the haggard Cao Wanning.
He threw himself into Cao Wanning's arms and burst into tears. It was obvious that he was very scared by this experience.
Even when the maid wanted to take him to take a bath, he was reluctant and insisted on staying with Cao Wanning.
Cao Wanning had no choice but to take him to the bathroom and give him a bath herself.
Cao Zhong has really suffered a lot in the past few days, and he has many scars on his body, but they are all superficial injuries and not serious, just some bruises, redness, swelling and broken skin.
After taking a shower and putting on clean clothes, Cao Zhong stuck to Cao Wanning and acted very dependent on her. He even asked Cao Wanning to accompany him to the toilet.
He was really scared.
Xie Ying watched the whole process and felt strange seeing his face, which looked very much like Chen Shao and Chen Shou and always showed a look of fear.
Cao Wanning is so cruel!
In order to discipline his son, he actually resorted to such means!
Not only did he deliberately hire someone to act, pretending to sell Cao Zhong to pirates as a boy catamite, he even put the blame on the Cao family!
Although she and Cao Zhong were kidnapped this time, the kidnappers were not caught.
But not long ago, it was reported that Cao Xuehai wanted to force them mother and son to death. Then there was the article signed by Cao Xuehai, and there were rumors that Cao Xuehai suspected that Cao Wanning imitated his handwriting and deliberately submitted an article under his name.
After Cao Wanning and Cao Zhong got into trouble, many people in Gusu suspected the Cao family. They thought that the Cao family was dissatisfied with the mother and son, and deliberately hired someone to kidnap them, and also created the illusion that the mother and son had escaped.
A large basin of dirty water was poured on the Cao family.
Although the kidnappers were not caught and the Cao family could not be convicted based on suspicion alone, they were still questioned by the government and their reputation was greatly damaged.
This play by Cao Wanning not only threw dirty water on the Cao family and taught his son Cao Zhong a lesson, but also established her tragic character and won a lot of sympathy.
Once this happened, as long as she did not openly oppose the court, even if Emperor Taihe hated the Chen family bloodline, he would not dare to attack them mother and son at will.
Xie Ying felt that this woman was really smart.
In just a few days, Cao Xuehai's reputation had become extremely bad.
Her article was also very well written, full of vitriol and full of hatred. Not only would women feel hatred after reading it, but even normal men would be disgusted by it.
Although there are many parents in this world who push their daughters into trouble for fame, there are also many parents who spoil their daughters.
Cao Wanning deliberately impersonated Cao Xuehai and wrote such an article. Isn't this just bringing hatred upon Cao Xuehai?
These days, Xie Ying has heard many people cursing Cao Xuehai.
Especially after the accident between Cao Wanning and her son, there were even more people cursing Cao Xuehai.
Some people even secretly poured feces on the gate of Cao's house, making the house stink even more. Many members of the Cao family did not dare to go out.
Cao Xuehai was so angry that he fell ill and didn't even dare to go to Qingyun Academy again.
After Jiang Er removed the article, he went to Qingyun Academy as usual, but found that the people in the academy looked at him strangely.
Although the academy was full of scholars and Cao Xuehai was a well-known teacher, the people in the academy did not glare at him or scold him directly.
But Cao Xuehai has always been sensitive, and even though he tried to hide his feelings, the looks from others still made him feel like a thorn in his side.
He couldn't even stay for a whole day. He only lasted less than half a day and went home with a gloomy face.
I didn't dare to stay in the academy any longer.
Originally, Cao Xuehai planned to recuperate at home for a few days and return to the academy after the storm subsided.
Unexpectedly, Cao Wanning and Cao Zhong suddenly got into trouble. Many people suspected that it was Cao Xuehai who was too cruel and secretly hired someone to kill them.
How could Cao Xuehai bear such injustice?
So he soon fell ill and was bedridden.
Xie Ying also secretly paid attention to Cao Xuehai's condition and found that this guy had indeed made himself sick due to anger.
He also carefully prepared an article for the competition, but unfortunately, due to Cao Wanning's outrageous behavior, his article was slandered shortly after it was posted, and the ink dissolved on the paper, making it impossible to continue displaying it.
Jiang Er could only send someone to send the article back and ask Cao Xuehai to rewrite it.
This incident also made Cao Xuehai very angry.
But perhaps he wanted to turn things around too much, so even though he was angry, he still wrote a new one.
Unfortunately, just one night later, the newly written document was splashed with mud and became dirty again.
Jiang Er had to send someone back the article again and persuade Cao Xuehai to withdraw from the competition.
He is obviously being targeted now. If he continues to participate in the competition, he might be attacked by people.
Cao Xuehai has been aloof for many years, how could he tolerate such an insult?
So he withdrew from the competition in a fit of anger, and was blamed by Master Cao for this. The two brothers quarreled and parted ways unhappily.
Xie Ying silently watched this drama of brothers fighting each other, and felt that the time was almost right, so she directly dug up the grave of the dead old man of the Cao family.
