Chapter 561 Just Like a Child

Jiang Lianzhu broke the rope tied around Jiang Cheng's wrists, and seeing the two blood marks, she glared at Jiang Dalang and his brother again.

The two brothers were in the wrong, so they lowered their heads and took several steps back involuntarily.

They were afraid that Jiang Lianzhu would beat them again.

Liao Jiu said, "Wife, take our mother back first to see what's going on, and then we can settle the score with them later."

Jiang Lianzhu nodded, thinking that it was probably because of a great shock that the illness had recurred.

I was furious, but I couldn't show it on my face. My voice had to be gentle, "Mom, come with me. Let's go home."

This way we won’t scare Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Dalang poked his head out and shouted, "She's gone crazy, a lunatic. If you let go of her wrist, she'll grab you and run around. She can't understand what you're saying. You can only tie her up with a rope..."

Jiang Lianzhu glared at him fiercely, and Jiang Dalang shut up obediently.

But his voice had frightened Jiang Chengshi. A look of fear appeared on her face. She began to feel uneasy and started to dance around, muttering, "Go away, go away, I don't want to die, I want to go find my Zhu'er, my Zhu'er... woo woo woo..."

Jiang Lianzhu held her hand warmly and firmly, "Mother, I'm right here, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Miraculously, Jiang Cheng, who had shown signs of going crazy, became docile again.

At this time, even the dumbest people in the crowd could feel the magical trust between the mother and daughter.

Only the deep friendship in normal times can comfort someone even when he is crazy and in a state of confusion.

Jiang Lianzhu took Jiang Chengshi and slowly walked into the hospital step by step.

Liao Jiu said to Jiang Lianzhu, "Wife, go and treat mother's illness first. I'll take care of the outside affairs."

Jiang Lianzhu nodded with confidence.

Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang were timid and their hearts were pounding with anxiety, but they both came here with something to rely on.

How could Jiang Cheng's illness be cured so easily?

Only Jiang Cheng's disease cannot be cured, so, aren't the two brothers the ones who have the final say?

Even if they are cured, they are not afraid because they have a trump card in their hands.

He would definitely be able to negotiate a good deal with Jiang Lianzhu. In the future, they could live comfortably in the capital, becoming respectable people, the brothers-in-law of the Marquis of Qingning! Perhaps, he could even become an official, live out the life of an official, marry a wealthy lady, have several sons, and enjoy wealth and honor for generations.

Even if they couldn't get Jiang Lianzhu to agree to their request, they had to make her agree.

If they don't let her take the 18,000 taels of silver, they will risk it all and no one will have an easy life!

With eight thousand silver coins, I could buy a house in the capital and never have to worry about food and drink.

It's several times better than life in the countryside.

If you keep a few beautiful wives and concubines in your house, you will live a fairy-like life all day long. Just thinking about it will make you feel relaxed and happy, and it is wonderful.

Thinking of this, the two of them subconsciously suppressed their fear and desire to run away, and plucked up their courage.

Liao Jiu remained calm and said, "Come with me into the mansion and talk."

"Brother-in-law..." the two men shouted with a frown.

There are many people watching the fun outside, which can give them courage.

When they entered the house, they were eager, expectant, and afraid.

Liao Jiu had already walked straight into the house. The two men hesitated for a while and followed him. Liao Yan, who was wearing official uniform, strode in without being invited.

***

Whenever Jiang Lianzhu's eyelids twitched, she felt that nothing good was going to happen.

She thought he was worried about Lao Yu's treatment, but she never expected that something happened to Jiang Cheng.

After examining Jiang Cheng's body, they found that she had many external injuries and scars on her body, as if she had been whipped, and she was starving to the point of being skin and bones.

When she returned to her hometown before, her body had been restored to a plump state, but now she has become so thin that only bones are left, and it has only been less than a year!

Most of the whip marks were on her back, an inconspicuous place, which showed that the person who abused her was too concerned about her reputation to dare to let others see it openly.

She had severe brain congestion and many internal injuries. One of her ribs was broken, as if she had been kicked by someone.

Jiang Lianzhu wanted to go out and skin Jiang Dalang and his brothers alive, but she still couldn't feel better.

Jiang Cheng's illness is not an acute one, so she can only be cured slowly. No matter how much I feel bad for her, there is nothing I can do.

Jiang Lianzhu hung up a sign saying the business was closed and asked the servants to boil some hot water so that Jiang Cheng could take a bath. She first cleaned her body, treated her external injuries, and applied medicine.

She went to the kitchen herself to prepare some warm and nourishing food for her. After being hungry for a long time, the food she needed should be mainly liquid and warm.

As a result, whenever someone approached Jiang Chengshi, she would scream and act crazy and frightened.

He accidentally injured several maids and servants, leaving several large bloody marks on their bodies.

Helplessly, Jiang Lianzhu could only ask the servants to prepare food according to her recipes, and she personally went to help Jiang Chengshi wash up.

As soon as she approached and called her mother a few times, Jiang Cheng became quiet again and cooperated with her obediently. She let her do whatever she wanted.

Jiang Lianzhu felt a little sad because of her obedience.

"I told you to live with me in the capital, and you refused, insisting on taking care of those two worse-than-beasts! Now, after suffering so much, you still remember to come to me. If you weren't doing well, you should have come earlier. Why did you have to wait until now to come? It's also my fault. We let the golden eagle go, so it's not as convenient as before. I don't go back to see you every now and then. Sigh, I didn't expect them to be so inhumane. They say people are made of flesh and blood, but those two beasts have no heart at all...

Jiang Lianzhu was giving Jiang Chengshi a bath and muttering to herself. Jiang Chengshi didn't understand what she was saying, but she felt happy just by hearing Jiang Lianzhu's voice. She even grinned when she heard the rest of it.

Just like a child.

The body that Jiang Lianzhu had nursed back to health with great difficulty collapsed again.

Before, she looked at least ten or twenty years younger, but now, she looks like an old woman, with white hair and wrinkles all over her face.

She is clearly just a middle-aged woman in her early forties.

Seeing Jiang Chengshi smile, Jiang Lianzhu felt even more sad.

"You're still laughing. Now that you've saved your life, you should be laughing! From now on, I won't let you suffer like this again. If you still follow them, I'll kill them both. Let's see how you can deal with these two beasts..."

Jiang Cheng grinned.

Jiang Lianzhu gave her a bath and applied medicine to her wounds. Some of the wounds had already become inflamed, and they had to be disinfected with alcohol and iodine before the medicine could be applied again.

Jiang Chengshi could endure the stimulation and pain when using alcohol and prostitution. As long as it was done by Jiang Lianzhu, she could endure it. If it was done by someone else, she would scratch their face.
