I was switched at birth after transmigrating into a book, but I used my superpowers to wreak havoc!

Chapter 496 She's Gone Mad

When Cao Zhong thought of Cao Xuehai, his face suddenly became very ugly, but when he thought of Cao Wanning's words, he couldn't help but feel afraid again.

He looked at Cao Wanning nervously and suddenly asked, "Mother, do you hate me too? Do you want me to die too?"

Cao Wanning's face darkened. "If I really wanted you to die, why would I bother hiring a doctor to treat you and finding someone to take care of you? Wouldn't it be better to just let you die of the illness and be done with it?"

Cao Zhong recalled that he had been ill for more than a month. Although Cao Wanning was cold towards him and only let others take care of him, she still came to see him every day and asked about his condition. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Then he asked, "Mother, does Grandfather hate me and you too? He's not a good person. I don't like him!"

Cao Wanning patted his head and said meaningfully, "Don't say these words in front of outsiders. Remember?"

Cao Zhong nodded, then asked fearfully, "Will he...will he still want to kill me?"

Cao Wanning comforted him: "Don't worry, you have offended him seriously this time. He won't dare to kill you anytime soon."

Cao Zhong, however, couldn't feel at ease. Instead, his mind was full of thoughts: I don't dare to kill him in a short time, but what about in a long time?

Seeing that he looked uneasy, Cao Wanning deliberately asked, "Are you afraid that he will kill you in the future?"

Cao Zhong's pupils shrank, and he hesitated for a moment before nodding. He asked with some concern, "Will he be able to do it?"

Cao Wanning did not answer directly this time, but continued: "Because of your biological father, there will be many people in this world who want to kill you, but you can rest assured that as long as I don't die, you won't die.

If I could risk my life to protect you the first time, I can risk my life to protect you the second time. But if I die, then you will die soon, understand?"

This was naturally meant to fool Cao Zhong.

If Cao Zhong was obedient, she wouldn't mind continuing to raise this son and protecting him.

But if Emperor Taihe insisted on taking Cao Zhong's life, then she could only abandon Cao Zhong and save herself.

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.

Who would have thought that this idiot Cao Xuehai would fall into Cao Wanning's trap!

However, although Cao Xuehai is stupid, Cao Wanning is too cruel. She even dares to plot against her own father!

This woman first plotted against Chen Shao, and now she is plotting against Cao Xuehai. Is there anything else she dare not do?

If left alone, will this woman kill the entire Cao family?

No, he couldn't just sit there and wait for death!

We have to find a way to get Cao Xuehai noticed by Jiang Er as soon as possible and become the teacher of Situ Yuan and the little prince!
