Chapter 494 You did it on purpose
Although Cao Zhong was dissatisfied with Cao Wanning and even felt resentment towards her because of Chen Shao's incident, he did not understand why.
But Cao Wanning was also the person closest to him besides Chen Shao.
Now that Chen Shao is dead, he is actually extremely dependent on Cao Wanning.
It's just that he had too much resentment accumulated in his heart, and Cao Wanning's coldness made him feel extremely aggrieved, so he started to act out.
Seeing Cao Xuehai glaring at Cao Wanning, he instinctively defended Cao Wanning as his mother and was extremely dissatisfied with Cao Xuehai.
But he was too young after all, and he had just been taught a lesson by Cao Wanning, so he didn't dare to say harsh words like before. He could only glare at Cao Xuehai secretly and hide his dissatisfaction in his heart.
Cao Xuehai, however, completely ignored Cao Zhong and even deliberately said, "He is the son of a traitor. Since you hate him so much, why do you still keep this evil child around?"
Cao Zhong's eyes instantly turned red with anger, and he clenched his fists in dissatisfaction and retorted, "I'm not a bastard!"
Cao Xuehai glanced at him coldly, then sneered disdainfully, "Your biological father is not only a traitor, but also a pirate. If you're not a bastard, what are you? You have the blood of a traitor flowing in your veins. You will only have one way to go, and that is death. You shouldn't have been born into this world!"
As soon as he said this, Cao Zhong's eyes became even redder with anger, and his tender little face was filled with an extremely fierce look.
Those murderous eyes frightened Cao Xuehai to the core, and he couldn't help but angrily scold Cao Wanning, "You see, this bastard is clearly a wolf cub! You're simply raising a tiger to harm yourself by keeping him around!"
Cao Wanning sneered, "Father, you're a real man, how could you be afraid of a six-year-old child? If you were afraid, you could just kill him. Why are you telling me all this?"
Could it be that my father is so cruel and heartless that he not only cannot tolerate a child, but also wants to force me to kill my own flesh and blood?"
Cao Zhong widened his eyes in fear and looked at Cao Wanning with grievance, fearing that Cao Wanning would really kill him.
Cao Xuehai's face turned blue with rage. He glared at Cao Wanning and cursed, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I give birth to such a scoundrel like you?"
Cao Wanning looked him in the face without the slightest fear. "Didn't father say that himself? You said I was nurturing a tiger by keeping him by my side, and that he had the blood of a traitor in his veins and shouldn't have been born into this world.
Isn't it that Father wants me to kill him when he says this? Could it be that I misunderstood Father? If Father has other intentions, he should just say it directly.
After all, you are my father, you gave birth to me and raised me. If you want me to do something, just tell me directly, and I will naturally follow your wishes."
After saying that, she looked at Cao Xuehai with a smile, waiting for his answer.
Her father has always prided himself on being upright, so she wants to see what the other party will say this time!
Does he dare to admit that he wants Cao Zhong's life?
Cao Xuehai naturally didn't dare, but he didn't want to lose face in front of Cao Wanning.
His face twitched with rage, and he glared at Cao Wanning, gritting his teeth and angrily scolding, "What nonsense are you talking about, you evil creature? I think you've gone mad! I worked so hard to raise you, teaching you the arts of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and you're just going to disobey me like this?"
Cao Wanning looked at him sarcastically. "As soon as my father arrived, he accused me of being disobedient and unfilial. It seems he not only wants me to kill Cao Zhong, but also wants my life."
She sneered, "If father wanted to kill us, why would he bother with so much trouble? If you just tell me that we shouldn't live in this world and should die for the Cao family's honor, I'll immediately take him and hang myself at the gate of the Cao family without a moment's hesitation."
At the end, she smiled and asked, "Father, please say whatever you want to say. After all, you and I are father and daughter. I don't ask for anything else now, just a word from you."
Cao Xuehai's face was completely twisted with anger: "Are you threatening me?"
Cao Wanning said with a smile, "You are my father, how dare I threaten you? I just want to ask you for a definite answer."
If you want me to take Cao Zhong with me to die, I will die immediately without saying a word, which can be regarded as repaying your kindness of giving birth to me.
But if you don't explain clearly, how can I know what you really mean?
What if I misunderstood you and you didn't want Cao Zhong and me to die, but I took Cao Zhong with me and let you die with your old age? Wouldn't that be extremely unfilial?"
As soon as she said this, Cao Xuehai became so angry that his face twisted and he gritted his teeth.
But Cao Wanning waited for a long time, and he didn't dare to directly say that the two of them should die.
Cao Xuehai naturally knew that Cao Wanning did it on purpose!
She was not only threatening him, she was forcing him!
This rebellious girl!
He carefully raised her for many years, taught her music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs, and taught her chastity and loyalty!
But when she was abducted by bandits, she did not choose to die to prove her integrity and preserve her innocence. Instead, she lived a miserable life and joined the pirates. She even returned to Gusu with great fanfare, making him lose face!
Now, she even dared to threaten Cao Zhong, that evil creature, in front of him!
Cao Xuehai couldn't help but raise his hand and slap Cao Wanning hard in the face.
"Snapped--"
His slap landed on Cao Wanning's face, knocking her head sideways.
Cao Wanning didn't dodge, but looked at Cao Xuehai with a cold gaze: "Father is deliberately unwilling to speak out. Could it be that he hates his daughter so much that he wants to beat her to death with his own hands?"
When Cao Xuehai met her cold gaze, he inexplicably felt cold all over, and even his right hand began to tremble.
Unexpectedly, Cao Wanning took out a small knife from his sleeve, took off the scabbard, revealing the sharp blade.
He continued, "If father wants to beat me to death with his bare hands, it will be too much trouble. It would be better to kill Cao Zhong with this knife and then kill me."
As she spoke, she handed the knife to Cao Xuehai with a smile.
Seeing that he refused to take it, he continued, "Father, what are you still hesitating about? As a man, don't you dare to kill us two women and children with your own hands?
Don't be afraid. Killing is actually very easy. You can just take the knife and stab it directly into our hearts, and we will die soon.
The knife is very sharp and can be inserted easily without any effort. Father, hurry up and do it, otherwise if Cao Zhong escapes, it will be difficult for you to kill him.
Cao Zhong was already extremely scared. When he heard her words, he was so scared that he ran away, fearing that Cao Xuehai would really take the knife and stab him to death.
Although he was small, he ran very fast. In addition, Cao Wanning's house was not big, so Cao Zhong quickly ran out of the door and screamed in fear: "Help - save me - my grandfather wants to kill me -"
He screamed at the top of his lungs, and soon all the neighbors came out to watch the fun.
Cao Xuehai also heard Cao Zhong's cry.
He instantly became furious and glared at Cao Wanning with extreme resentment: "Did you do this on purpose?"
