The original owner was so innocent in her previous life. She worked hard to take care of Xun Xiu's housework, discipline his children, and honor his parents. She never felt sorry for him, but he could throw the original owner to the family temple without hesitation and let her be tortured to death. Such a cold-blooded and ruthless man could still die in glory and wealth, which makes people vomit a basin of blood. He should have been ruined and spent his life in pain.
Xun Xiu didn't want to believe that Cao Shichu couldn't detoxify him, so he used threats and inducements, and begged and begged. He was so embarrassed that even his wife felt disgusted when he saw her and stayed away from her.
When she was sure that Cao Shichu really couldn't detoxify Xun Xiu, she had already begun to consider reconciling with Xun Xiu. She was almost deceived into marrying into the Xun family, and now she has been married into the Xun family for more than a year. , she is still a young girl, and she doesn’t want to spend her whole life relying on the dying Xun Xiu, and remain a widow for the rest of her life...
Finally, Xun Xiu tried all kinds of methods, but could only get the answer that Cao Shichu couldn't detoxify him, so he had to give up and start pursuing another question.
"Who poisoned me?" Xun Xiu asked with red eyes.
His wife secretly rolled her eyes and said, "I must hate you so much. Don't you imagine who you have offended to get such vicious revenge."
Xun Xiu recalled it carefully for a long time before he said: "I have always been kind to others. When I was an official in the court, I paid attention to my reputation. I also had a good relationship with my colleagues. Even if I had disputes with others, they never reached this level of hatred. Yes, I really can’t figure out who did this to me.”
"It's not necessarily because of hatred that I hurt you like this. It could also be because of profit. Whoever hurts you will benefit from this, that is whoever did it to you." Cao Shichu said casually, deliberately disturbing Xun Xiu's Thoughts.
Isn't the murderer herself? Hee hee, it's a pity that Xun Xiu will not know until his death. Cao Shichu didn't feel guilty at all when he told lies with his eyes open.
But after Xun Xiu heard what she said, his thinking suddenly changed.
"Could it be that Cao Shuhui poisoned me?! This poisonous woman!" Xun Xiu was so filled with hatred that his eyes almost bled. If Cao Shuhui was still alive, he could tear her alive with his own hands.
"Ahem..." When Cao Shichu heard what he said, he was so shocked that his own saliva choked his throat and he almost suffocated.
She never expected that Xun Xiu would put this crime on Cao Shuhui's head. What on earth was he thinking?
When Xun Xiu and his wife heard what he said, they were also shocked: "Are you talking about the poison that your ex-wife, no, your first wife, poisoned you?"
"Who else could it be but her? Only she would have the motive to inflict such vicious poison on me! Because she was afraid that after her death, if I gave birth to a child with my second wife, her two children's status would be unstable. So in order to avoid future troubles, she chose to attack me and drain the fire!" Xun Xiu said plausibly, thinking that he had guessed Cao Shuhui's thoughts.
When Cao Shichu heard his speculation, she was stunned and became expressionless. No matter how smart she was, she never expected that things would develop like this. Although she never thought of letting Xun Xiu know the truth, she also didn't think of letting Xun Xiu know the truth. The dead Cao Shuhui takes the blame.
However, he memorized it well, and Cao Shichu felt very happy in his heart. Cao Shuhui plotted against his sister for the sake of his own children, without any regard for her sister's wishes, and morally kidnapped her to take over her husband and children. It was really disgusting.
Now even if she dies, she will be misunderstood by Xun Xiu and take the blame for Cao Shichu. Isn't that just retaliation? ! It was her fault, she was the culprit who had harmed the original owner for his whole life.
Without her moral kidnapping, the original owner would not have been reduced to the situation in his previous life. He had been a white-eyed wolf for more than ten years, was slandered, and finally died in poverty and extreme misery.
So it's not unfair for Cao Shuhui to take the blame for Cao Shichu.
"Is that so?" Xun Xiu's step-wife listened to his inexplicable but reasonable guess, her mouth wide open in shock, and she was stunned, and she didn't even come back to her senses.
"Cao Shuhui! How dare you do this to me, I won't let you go! And your pair of brats!" Xun Xiu has lost his mind. If Xun Yiming and Xun Linyuan were in front of him now, he would definitely strangle them to death immediately .
"Why don't you let them go? They are your children too." The second wife asked with a puzzled look. After she recovered from the shock, she was still quite rational and reminded Xun Xiu, "And the first lady The matter of poisoning you is just your own speculation and there is no evidence, so you can't just draw a conclusion so easily, can you?"
"That's her! She is a woman with evil thoughts. She used to drug my concubines and cause them to miscarry. I turned a blind eye. After all, she is the wife of the wife, but I never expected that she would You actually dare to attack me..." Xun Xiu had lost his mind. He urgently needed a culprit to vent his anger on, so he stubbornly identified Cao Shuhui.
"I will dig up her grave when I get back!" Xun Xiu said with a vicious look on his face, turned around and left angrily.
Just as the step-wife was about to leave, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't paid yet, so she took off the purse from her waist and threw it to Cao Shichu, saying, "There's no need to ask for the medical fee! Don't say anything you shouldn't say!"
Cao Shichu took the purse accurately and threw it up. He found that it was quite heavy. When he poured it out, he saw that it contained more than ten taels of silver. Tsk tsk. .
What happened after Xun Xiu has nothing to do with her. Whether Cao Shuhui will be torn by Xun Xiu, she guesses not, because the family scandal cannot be made public. Even if it is really Cao Shuhui who poisoned him, he cannot tell it because he said After he got out, it had no other effect except making his reputation worse.
After all, what kind of a good man can a man be who is poisoned by his original wife before she dies? It must be that he didn't believe in his character before he chose to "throw the fire under the cauldron".
Cao Shichu tossed the money in his hand up and down, feeling very good. Cao Shuhui was dead, but the children she left behind were still alive. A selfish and cold-blooded man like Xun Xiu would not express his anger. For the two of them "vested interests"?
After all, in Xun Xiu's heart, Cao Shuhui poisoned him for the two of them and to ensure their status.
Now Xun Yiming is thirteen or fourteen years old. The half-grown boy will soon be able to support the Xun family. However, because of his incompetence, Xun Xiu has not been thinking about officialdom at all in the past few years. His work has become increasingly perfunctory, and he often takes time off to treat illnesses. And because he was afraid of being despised and ridiculed, he gradually became alienated from his colleagues at the top. Therefore, instead of rising in official positions, he was marginalized and became an insignificant person. Seeing that it was impossible to have a big future in this life, Xun Yiming began to stand out. , is the successor who will replace his father in a few years.
Xun Xiu's status is unstable, how can he not feel threatened by his son?
