Because of Lu Xiuyuan's reaction, Lu's mother was so angry that she couldn't eat dinner all night.

The next day, I was so dizzy that I couldn't get out of bed.

Madam Lu immediately ordered the nanny to go to the main courtyard to fetch Pei Zhi, and asked Pei Zhi to serve her personally.

Pei Zhi would never come to serve.

Pei Zhi immediately had a servant invite a doctor to their door; it was the doctor who usually prescribed medicine for Lu's mother.

When Lu Muguang saw the doctor but not Pei Zhi, she became even angrier.

The doctor examined Lu's mother and then fell into deep thought.

The doctor had already checked Lu's mother's pulse, so logically there was no need to ponder it so carefully.

But Pei Zhi had already given instructions before the doctor came in.

Pei Zhi said she didn't intend to hide it from the old lady anymore and asked the doctor to exaggerate the severity of the situation.

If Lu's mother is well cared for, can't she live for another two or three years?

The doctor said that Lu's mother didn't have much time left to live.

The doctor believed that Pei Zhi did this to remind Lu's mother to take good care of her health, and that she was naturally willing to cooperate.

Lu's mother was full of resentment, thinking that as soon as the doctor left, she would go to the main courtyard to make a scene.

But seeing the doctor's somber face as he took her pulse, Lu's mother couldn't help but panic.

Lu's mother asked worriedly, "Doctor, am I alright?"

The doctor shook his head. "It's hard to say."

Lu's mother felt even colder. "What do you mean? Why is it hard to say?"

"I was perfectly fine before, so why is it hard to say now?"

The doctor sighed, "Madam, if you take good care of your health and avoid getting angry easily, you can live for another few months or half a year."

"If you don't take good care of yourself, then things might really get complicated."

Mrs. Lu's eyes rolled back, and she almost fainted. "What?"

The nanny serving nearby quickly helped up Lu's mother, who was gripping the doctor's hand tightly.

"Doctor, how could this be?"

Lu's mother refused to believe it, "You never said anything like that when you examined me before."

"Why is it so serious this time?"

The doctor said helplessly, "The old lady probably hasn't been resting well lately."

The doctor got up and went to prescribe medicine for Lu's mother.

Lu's mother couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts.

Her son finally became a high-ranking official; it would be such a pity if she died like this.

If she dies, won't her son be bullied to death by that bitch?

Moreover, she was perfectly healthy before, so why did the doctor suddenly say she was failing this time?

Whether it was Lu's mother's imagination or not, she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, as if she couldn't breathe.

That bitch must have done something to her.

That wretched woman had long disliked her mother-in-law, and everyone in the entire household obeyed her.

Perhaps, that bitch drugged her; who knows?

Lu's mother looked around the room, then at the people serving her.

The servants belong to that wretched woman, and the house she lives in is also hers.

If that bitch wanted to kill her, it would be as easy as turning her hand.

Lu's mother clutched her chest. If she were to make a scene in front of that vile woman now, she probably wouldn't survive the night.

After the doctor left, the nanny brought out some hot food.

Lu's mother was worried and didn't dare to eat it, fearing she would be poisoned.

"Go and have someone prepare the car; I need to go out for a bit."

The doctor was also invited by that slut; what if the doctor has been bribed?

What if someone deliberately tells her she won't live long to scare her?

Lu's mother didn't trust this doctor, so she planned to go out and find another clinic.

What Madam Lu didn't know was that in the carriage not far in front of her sat a nanny who had come out of the mansion.

The old woman arrived at the clinic a step ahead and gave them a sum of money.

Tell the doctor to make it sound more serious when he examines Lu's mother later.

The doctor was initially reluctant, but the old woman said it was for the sake of the old lady in the family to take good care of her health, and it added a sum of money, so the doctor finally nodded.

So when Lu's mother entered the clinic, the diagnosis she received was exactly the same as what the doctor in the manor had said that day.

Lu's mother was already in poor health, and the doctor only said that her condition was a bit more serious.

Lu's mother walked out of the clinic in a daze. Looking at the bright blue sky outside, she was overcome with inexplicable sorrow.

Isn't it said that there are gods watching from above?

Why do the gods in heaven take away that wretched woman from my house, but instead take her life?

If she died, given Xiu Yuan's personality, wouldn't he be completely controlled by those lowly bastards in his family?

Mother Lu clenched her handkerchief tightly. No, even if she were to die, she would take that bitch with her.

At the very least, she had to do one last thing for her son.

On the carriage ride home, this thought kept running through Lu's mother's mind.

Yes, she won't live much longer anyway.

Xiu Yuan knew perfectly well that the woman was having affairs, but he kept quiet about it.

Lu's mother guessed that Xiu Yuan must have had a reason for his actions.

Perhaps, Xiu Yuan has some weakness that the woman has caught up with.

Before she died, she took that woman with her.

The mansion and the money in the house all belong to Xiu Yuan, don't they?

After they leave, Xiu Yuan can marry another virtuous wife.

After returning home, Lu's mother locked herself in the yard for several days.

The first thing he did when he went out was to buy poison.

Pei Zhi was drinking tea when she heard the news.

Upon hearing that it was happening in broad daylight, Lu's mother went directly to the clinic to ask for poison.

The clinic said they didn't have any, so Lu's mother asked if they had rat poison or something similar.

Pei Zhi twitched her lips. "I'm really getting old; my brain isn't working as well anymore."
