Chapter 550: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (89)

No one knows a child better than his mother. Wu Wenyue was lying on the bed, taking in the whole scene that had just happened.

Many things often cannot withstand careful scrutiny. Cao Shixun's every move just now, when combined with the concubine with bound feet he kept in his villa outside, she began to have some guesses in her mind.

Su Xiangran naturally had never bound her feet, but she always preferred to wear old-fashioned jackets and skirts, and her walking posture was very similar to those of women with bound feet.

It’s just because I was too young before, my body hadn’t fully developed, and my curves weren’t prominent enough, so they weren’t that noticeable.

However, when I think back on it now, the posture is exactly the same.

"Son, you..." Wu Wenyue pointed at Cao Shixun with a look of horror on her face, but before she could finish her words, she saw the other party's gaze sweeping past Cuiqiao beside her.

She understood instantly that this matter must not be known to too many people, so she turned to Cuiqiao and said, "You go out first and guard the door. Don't let anyone in. The young master and I have something important to discuss."

"Yes." Cuiqiao obeyed the order and left the room.

After Cuiqiao left, Wu Wenyue lowered her voice and asked, "What's going on? When did you fall for that little bitch Su Xiangran? How can you be so short-sighted? What's so good about her?"

Cao Shixun knew that he couldn't hide it from his mother, so he simply told her everything: "Mom, feelings are something I can control. I don't know when it started, but I feel uncomfortable whenever I think about her marrying someone else."

After hearing this, Wu Wenyue was so angry that her body was shaking and her voice was trembling: "You are a disobedient and unfilial thing! She is your cousin! Besides, you know that your aunt and I have a bad relationship!

She is the key link that your father used to connect our family closely with the Song family. You actually had such a crooked thought, are you crazy! "

Before she finished her words, Wu Wenyue picked up something beside her and threw it at her son.

Cao Shixun reacted quickly and nimbly caught the potion bottle thrown by his mother. His eyes flashed with cunning and his tone was full of temptation: "Mother, are you willing to give all those precious things to Su Xiangran to take back to the Song family?

To put it bluntly, as long as we have those things, we can definitely try to please other families, such as the Leng family in Beicheng, or the Feng family in Guangcheng. They are not inferior to the Song family at all!"

"What do you mean by that?" Wu Wenyue raised her eyebrows and questioned, "No one is paying attention to you, but you still refuse to give up. Are you trying to stir up some trouble?"

"Although they have been engaged for several years, they will not get married until next year, so we still have time to make arrangements." Cao Shixun suggested, "As long as my cousin and I have made it a done deal, then my cousin will have no choice but to enter our Cao family."

"You're overthinking it!" Wu Wenyue laughed at her son's innocence. "They have been studying abroad together for more than three years. Abroad is a place where you have to hug each other when you greet each other. They have already finished their meal and washed the dishes.

You're still thinking about washing rice and cooking now, do you think it's too late?"

After hearing his mother's words, Cao Shixun's face turned pale, but he immediately said: "I don't care about temporary gains and losses, as long as she is mine in the end. Even if they have something in private, they are still just an engaged couple.

I just don't believe that after Su Xiangran and he lay together in public, she could still marry Song Chengjing.

Even if Song Chengjing doesn't mind, the Song family won't let Su Xiangran in. "

"You are so daring!" Wu Wenyue said helplessly, "Then let me ask you, if you want Su Xiangran to marry you, what about your wife?"

"What should we do? Isn't it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines?" Cao Shixun disagreed. "Xie Wanru hasn't given birth to a child in the past few years. We can't let our Cao family die out because of her!"

Wu Wenyue got angry when she mentioned this. She scolded, "How dare you say that? Why did she go to bed? Except for when you first got married, you didn't touch her a few times. Your mistress has served you more times than she has."

From the beginning to the end, Wu Wenyue knew that Xie Wanru could not get pregnant because Cao Shixun basically did not sleep with her.

But this did not affect Wu Wenyue's disdain for the other party being a hen that did not lay eggs.

In her opinion, not being able to seduce her man is a sign of incompetence.

"Let's not talk about this. Anyway, we still need to plan carefully for the follow-up matters." Cao Shixun waved his hands impatiently. He was not talking about that wooden man like Xie Wanru.

"You are so capable and dare to think of anything, why do you need my help!" Wu Wenyue curled her lips, "Aren't you capable? Go and grab her! Grab Su Xiangran!"

"Mom! Don't say that. If I can do this, do I need to do this?" Cao Shixun changed his just strong tone and softened his tone. "Just help your son! You know best how to deal with the things in the backyard."

"Now that we're in, how are we going to divide this stuff?" Wu Wenyue suddenly said, "I won't do it if it's not beneficial. If it goes wrong, your father will be furious."

"You pick the things first, and give me the rest." Cao Shixun said generously, "Anyway, I got the person, so I made a profit. As for Dad, I will take care of it, and I will never let you down."
