When Xu Ying was mentioned, Xu Sanniang's anger that she had been holding back for so many years was gone. She threw the clothes in her hand and looked at Cao Shen resentfully.
"It's you who don't want to admit Ying'er, it's you who forced Ying'er to not be himself, it's you who let him waste seven years in vain, it's you who made him have no place in Yinzhou.
Ying'er has been smart since he was a child, but you only remember that he is an illegitimate child, and you only remember that I am a lowly performer.
Yes, you gave me money, but Ying'er is a decent man, and you force him to idle around all day because of your own selfishness. What kind of father are you?
There is no father or mother who does not hope that their children will succeed, but what about you? You have taught your famous sons both literature and martial arts, poetry, books, etiquette, music, chess, swords and archery.
But what about my Ying'er? Haha, he wants to imitate you but you won't let him go, for fear that he will become famous and people will see that he is your child, which will ruin your reputation.
Now you ask me where Ying'er is? I still want to ask you. If I hadn't been forced by you, how could Ying'er have gone far away, and how could I be separated from Ying'er?"
Xu Sanniang was getting angry and her voice became louder. Cao Shen looked at the dilapidated yard, stepped forward and dragged Xu Sanniang towards the house. Xu Sanniang was pulled so hard that she staggered, struggling and cursing:
"What? You're scared after I just said a few words? Then what are you doing here? Get out of here, get out of my yard. This is my yard, not yours.
I have no use for your money either. From the day the money was returned to you, I no longer regarded you as Ying'er's father. I regarded myself as blind and following a heartless person like you."
Cao Shen couldn't help but pulled Xu Sanniang into the house, closed the door again, and then said angrily: "If you want to make a big fuss and let the neighbors know who you were and who your son is, I won't stop you."
Come on, just scream."
Xu Sanniang suddenly became speechless, with tears welling up in her eyes. She sat on the edge of the bed, turned her head away, gritted her teeth to prevent herself from crying, and said bitterly: "You don't care what happens to my mother and I. We and I
It doesn't matter to you."
Cao Shen was also dizzy with anger. He took out a crumpled letter and threw it in Xu Sanniang's hand, "Whether it doesn't matter, you can read it later."
Xu Sanniang hesitated for a moment, but finally picked up the ball of paper. When she opened it, she immediately recognized the words Xu Ying. She frowned and read the contents of the letter carefully.
"Lord Cao: When you read this letter, you must have been preparing to send troops to attack Mu. I can't influence Zi Xia's order, but if you don't want Yinzhou to fall into the hands of Qu, then don't send troops.
Zhou Ye, the commander-in-chief of Qu State, has led 200,000 elite troops to Yinzhou. Once Yinzhou sends troops to attack Mu, Zhou Ye will wait for an opportunity to attack Yinzhou from behind, and Yinzhou will be defeated by then."
When Xu Sanniang saw this, she was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on her back. She couldn't help but glance at Cao Shen, who looked out the window, looking very cold and distant.
Xu Sanniang closed her eyes and continued to read:
"But you don't have to worry too much. As long as Yinzhou does not send troops, Zhou Ye will not easily start a war. And the four countries of Wei, Li, Chen, and Jing are now raising their troops to Qu. By then, Zhou Ye will definitely come to relieve the crisis in Qu.
Move troops back.
The crisis in Yinzhou will also be solved.
In addition, even if Zhou Ye does not withdraw his troops and is about to go to war with Yinzhou, he has a fake military defense map in his hand. I have drawn the map on the back of this letter. According to this map, an ambush can be set up and Zhou Ye will be defeated.
Return.
Prime Minister Mu promised."
Xu Sanniang was stunned for a moment, then signed the last five words, which were extremely powerful, as if she was venting her anger. She could tell that her son had some resentment in his heart when he wrote this letter.
After a long time, Xu Sanniang whispered: "I didn't know that Ying'er had already taken the position of prime minister."
When Cao Shen heard this, he turned around and said angrily: "He went to the state of Mu and became the prime minister. What is there to be proud of?
This rebellious son dares to go to the country of Mu, give advice to the country of Mu, and target Yinzhou, just to prevent me from sending troops to attack the country of Mu. Look, this is the good son you raised."
As he spoke, he grabbed the cup on the table and smashed it to the ground. The anger he had held back in the governor's house could no longer be held back. He roared angrily: "This is treason. Tell me what I should do to him."
?Catch five horses and cut them into pieces, or execute them in a cold and late manner? Ah?"
Xu Sanniang was so shocked that she trembled all over. She held the letter tightly, "I believe in Ying'er. Ying'er is not the kind of person who will do anything to achieve his goals. Even if he doesn't consider other things, he will consider me. Ying'er has this.
Ji, Ding is also planned."
Cao Shen gritted his teeth in anger, "Yes, he had a good plan. He first encouraged the Qu State to attack our Yinzhou, forcing me not to send troops to the Mu State; he also persuaded the four countries to join forces to attack the Canal State and block Zhou Ye's attack on Yinzhou.
Haha, after so many years, I have never known him. He plays with power in such a way that he even wants to use the place of his birth. Isn't he afraid that Zhou Ye will go to war with Yinzhou?
In order to save the country of Mu, he pushed his family and friends to the edge of the knife. He...I, Cao Shen, have never denied him in my heart since he was born. I have always regarded him as my son.
But now, he is not my son, and I do not have such a rebellious son."
Xu Sanniang pursed her lips and was silent for a long time before she said slowly:
"You are right. Ying'er may be playing tricks, but do you just want to send troops to attack Mu? Haven't you always wanted to go to war? Doesn't Ying'er's move save Yinzhou from a war?"
"Whether I want to go to war or not is my business, but he dared to betray Daxia and serve the country of Mu. He should be punished for his crime." Cao Shen was so angry that his face turned red and his neck thickened.
Xu Sanniang's heart sank when she heard this. She closed her eyes for a long time before she said, "Isn't it your fault that Ying'er is today?
He has expressed to you countless times that he wants to be loyal to Daxia and contribute to Daxia, but you have always blocked him. Because of this, Ying'er was full of ambitions and could not display them, so he had to defect to Mu.
.
Did he betray Daxia from the beginning? You didn't give him a chance. Is he incompetent? He has only been in Mu for a few months, and at a young age he has become the Prime Minister of the country under one person and above ten thousand people. Now even you are
He is helpless, is he incompetent?
It's you who caused Daxia to lose such talents. Shouldn't you reflect on yourself? Is this all Ying'er's fault? How could he be wrong? Mu is a vassal state of Daxia and belongs to Daxia as well.
, how can it be considered treason if Ying'er goes to Mu State?"
"You..." Cao Shen was so angry that he pointed at Xu Sanniang with trembling hands, "You are sophistry. No matter what you say, you can't change the fact that he betrayed Yinzhou and betrayed you and me."
Xu Sanniang took a deep breath and said, "I'm just a woman. I don't understand the justice of your country. I only know that Ying'er is not a ruthless person.
He just made a choice. He has his own ideas and vision. I believe that no matter where he goes, he will never forget that he is from Yinzhou. I also believe that the identity of a mere Yinzhou person will not matter.
Bind his hands and feet.
Maybe you are full of resentment towards our mother and son now, and I will not excuse Ying'er blindly. Everyone has a choice, and everyone must bear the consequences of their own choices.
You didn't choose Ying'er before, so you have to bear the consequences he brought to you now; Ying'er chose to serve the country of Mu, and he will also have to bear the consequences of this choice in the future.
I don't know if that's good or bad, and I don't want to comment. He is already twenty-two years old and he understands every decision he makes.
And you, since you didn't give him education before, don't ask for it in the name of dad in the future.
If he really did something wrong, sooner or later, he will be swallowed up by the consequences he caused. Now, he just has a different stance from you."
