After all, she didn't owe Cao Zhong anything, but Cao Zhong owed her for giving birth to her and saving her life.

Moreover, he is still so young, but he is plotting against Cao Xuehai. She has to be on guard.

Cao Zhong has such a scheming mind. If he continues to regard her as an enemy, he might stab her one day.

She is not a fool like Cao Xuehai, and she will not allow Cao Zhong to plot against her.

So, don't blame her for being cruel.

If she had not been cautious and ruthless, she would not have survived until now.

Cao Zhong nervously held Cao Wanning tighter: "Mother, please don't die!"

"Don't worry, I won't die yet."

Cao Wanning said this, then looked at the scraps of paper on the ground and sighed, "Pick these up and piece them together slowly. There's no need to rush. Since you already know you're wrong, I won't punish you this time."

But you have to put the books together properly. These books are hard-earned and will be your lifeline in this world. You must not damage them easily, understand?"

Cao Zhong was delighted, but he still looked at Cao Wanning pitifully: "Mother, I understand."

After saying this, he leaned into Cao Wanning's arms and said admiringly, "Mother, you are so kind to me. I was wrong before."

Cao Wanning hugged him and patted his back gently. After a while, she sighed, asked him to pick up the scraps of paper on the ground, then stood up and walked out.

Cao Zhong watched her leaving and followed her to the door cautiously, but saw Cao Wanning suddenly stagger. Fortunately, she was supported by the maid in time and did not fall.

He was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat. When he saw the maid looking at him, he was so scared that he quickly hid behind the door.

The maidservant didn't see Cao Zhong, so she whispered, "Madam, you deliberately said that to Zhong Ge'er. What if he misunderstood you and harbored resentment towards you?"

Cao Wanning sighed helplessly, "Hey, he's my own flesh and blood, how could I bear it? But his biological father committed such a heinous crime, what can I do?

The Cao family was worried about being implicated by him, and they blamed me for being kidnapped by bandits and losing my reputation. They wanted to get rid of us mother and son as soon as possible.

If I continue to treat him the same way as before and let him continue to be ignorant, how will he survive in this world?

I am only a weak woman, I may not be able to protect him until he grows up. If I die suddenly, he will be at the mercy of others.

Instead of doing that, I would rather teach him the cruelty of the world myself. If he is smart, he might be able to live longer..."

The two walked further and further away, and their voices became quieter and quieter.

Cao Zhong hid behind the door, nervously clenching his fists, his eyes filled with fear and helplessness: Was his mother deliberately being cold to him just to keep him alive? So, was he wrong about her? But his father...

Thinking of Chen Shao, Cao Zhong felt very uncomfortable.

He no longer has a father.

Cao Zhong squatted on the ground, hugging himself, and soon burst into tears.

On the other side, Cao Wanning went straight to the study with a cold expression on her face and a self-deprecating smile.

Today, she not only plotted against her biological father Cao Xuehai, but also against her biological son Cao Zhong.

Maybe Cao Xuehai was right, she was crazy.

She had gone crazy as early as the day she guessed Chen Shao's plan.

She used to be grateful to Chen Shao and even had admiration for him, but he not only disappointed her time and time again, but was also the mastermind behind her downfall.

She had actually been enjoying the pleasures of her enemy for years. How could she not hate him? How could she not go crazy?

'You guys forced me to do this!'

Cao Wanning muttered something in her heart, then took out her pen, ink, paper, and inkstone and began to write.

At the same time, the news that Cao Xuehai wanted to kill Cao Wanning and her son spread rapidly.

When Master Cao heard the report from the servant, he was so angry that his fat old face turned as black as the bottom of a pot in an instant!

"This idiot is more likely to cause trouble than to help!"

He gritted his teeth and cursed, but had to give up the idea of ​​looking for Cao Wanning.

Originally, he wanted to wait until Cao Xuehai and Cao Wanning had a quarrel and parted ways, and then play the good guy and win Cao Wanning over to his side.
