Chapter 5: Being abused, still believing in the kindness of mother
"Snap"
"Ms. Shen, why are you so clumsy today? I asked you to comb my hair. Do you want to make me suffer to death?!"
Chu Mu looked at his red hands, then glanced at his mother's messy bun that he had combed into a mess.
He was beaten no less than ten times that morning.
The first time I didn't help my mother put on her clothes, she hit me on the hand with a bamboo stick.
The second time I brought the mouthwash tea to my mother, it was too hot and she hit me on the hand with a stick.
The tea was clearly not hot; he had mixed it himself to get the temperature just right.
Maybe my mother is old and doesn’t like warmth.
The third time he put shoes on his mother, he hurt her and she kicked him down.
His mother's kick really hurt him, it was a precise and hard kick right in the heart.
This time he accidentally pulled out a strand of his mother's hair.
Old Madam Shen looked at herself in the bronze mirror and was furious.
That little bitch Shen must have been in such trouble today on purpose.
"Ms. Shen, kneel down before me and tell me if you are deliberately trying to harm me. I already know you are not a good person. You must be holding a grudge against me, which is why you are making so many mistakes today. In the past, you have always done a good job and served me comfortably. What is wrong with you today?"
While scolding "Chen Zhao", the old lady hit "Chen Zhao" again and again with the bamboo stick in her hand.
He broke the bamboo board in his hand until it cracked, then stopped and snorted coldly, "Change it."
Chu Mu endured the pain in his body, confusion in his eyes.
What to exchange for one.
It wasn't until a maid brought a tray that he suddenly realized what was going on.
The tray was filled with bamboo boards, slightly larger than the palm, two fingers wide and ten fingers long.
There are two types of bamboo boards, one is cracked and the other is intact.
What else does he not understand?
Just now, Aunt Liu brought a bamboo board for his mother. He thought Aunt Liu had found it from somewhere on the spur of the moment to teach him a lesson for his clumsiness today.
It seems that he thought he was wrong. This bamboo board was originally used by his mother to beat Shen Zhao.
This realization made Chu Mu unable to accept it for a while.
He didn't believe that his mother would abuse Shen Zhao!
Shen Zhao has never been easy to bully, right?
But if you don't believe it, the evidence is right in front of you, plus what happened this morning.
Make him believe it.
Perhaps the mother was instigated to treat Chen Zhao like this. After all, the mother Xiang Fo was kind-hearted and must have been blinded by someone.
In addition, Chen Zhao had a bad temper, and his mother often said that she wanted to temper Chen Zhao's temper. This must be the case.
"Snap"
After being hit again, Chu Mu slowly raised his head and looked at his mother firmly.
He couldn't let his mother be deceived any longer.
"mother……"
"Snap"
This time the old lady hit "Shen Zhao" directly on the mouth.
"You lowly thing, I've told you so many times that you are not allowed to call me mother, whether in front of outsiders or in front of Mu'er. You are not worthy!
If you still want to stay in the General's Mansion, you'd better keep a low profile and don't think about turning the tables, otherwise I have plenty of ways to drive you out of the General's Mansion.
When the time comes, the Shen family will have no support from the General's Mansion, and one can only imagine how miserable their life will be in the land of exile."
The old lady's eyes were so cold that Chu Mu felt frightened.
She thought that those threatening words to Shen Zhao were instigated by that old and mean slave, Madam Liu.
But my mother also said this...
Why is this happening? Mothers shouldn't be like this.
What went wrong?
"What are you still standing there for? Get up and make me some soup."
The old lady kicked "Chen Zhao" again.
Chu Mu stood up, holding his chest.
"Let's drink the ginseng-stewed chicken soup today. The heat must be controlled just right."
The old lady asked the nanny beside her to comb her hair again, and looked at "Chen Zhao" grimly through the bronze mirror and gave instructions.
"Ginseng stewed with chicken soup? Mother... Old Lady, do you want ginseng stewed with chicken soup?"
Chu Mu was unsure and asked his mother for confirmation.
It was as if he had heard wrongly.
My mother has always been a vegetarian and has never eaten meat.
"Yes, why don't you go and do it?"
The old lady's face became even gloomier. What happened to this Shen family today?
So slow and so stupid.
Chu Mu let the maid lead him to the small kitchen in his mother's yard.
When he saw the kitchen full of meat, he whispered to the cook next to him.
"Does the old lady usually eat meat?"
The cook rolled her eyes at Chen Zhao and said, "Of course I will eat it. Madam, your memory is not good. The meat and fish that fill the kitchen are actually prepared by the old lady."
Chu Mu choked, pursed his lips and didn't ask any more questions. Perhaps his mother was old and it was time for her to eat some meat. He shouldn't speculate about his mother's affairs. It was really unfilial.
"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you start making soup for the old lady?" The cook urged Chu Mu.
Frowning: "What about you guys?"
The cook said disdainfully, "Of course I'm looking at you."
"I am the general's wife. As the cooks of the general's mansion, shouldn't you cook under my supervision?" Chu Mu said with a little anger.
"Pfft... Haha, what's wrong with Madam today? Dreaming in broad daylight?
Everyone in the General's Mansion knows about your current status as a lady in the General's Mansion. To put it nicely, you are still the mistress of the house on the surface. To put it bluntly, you are now the housekeeper and money bag of the General's Mansion.
Bah, this is not how a housekeeper should be, madam. You are even worse than us servants. Madam, stop daydreaming and start making the soup.
If you're late, be careful the old lady will punish you again."
Even the cook dares to bully her. Is her life so frustrating?
Why she never said it in front of him.
She said he wouldn't let everyone bully her.
When she comes back from court, he wants to have a good talk with her.
After Chu Mu was scalded several times and ruined several pots of soup.
The cook couldn't bear it anymore and took over to make soup for the old lady on Chu Mu's behalf.
What's wrong with Shen today? Not only is she absent-minded, but she also makes mistakes frequently.
Looking at Chu Mu's miserable appearance, he was afraid that he would be punished by the old lady again.
Chu Mu was carrying the soup prepared by the cook. As soon as he entered the room, he heard bursts of sobbing coming from the inner hall.
The sound was intermittent, giving the impression that the person crying was very weak.
She had just placed a bowl of soup on the table when someone came out.
The leader was the mother, who was supported by the cunning servant, Madam Liu.
His mother would not believe anything he said now. Once he regained his identity, he would definitely get rid of Aunt Liu.
The second sister-in-law was next, holding Lin Jiaojiao’s hand.
The person crying was Lin Jiaojiao.
At this moment, her eyes were still red and swollen, and she was looking at her angrily.
baffling.
"Shen, kneel down! Apologize to Jiaojiao." The old lady looked at "Shen Zhao" sternly.
Did he do something wrong?
Why should I apologize to Lin Jiaojiao?
Besides, even if he was wrong, as the wife of the general, why should he kneel before a girl who was staying at the general's mansion?
This doesn't make sense.
When the old lady saw that Shen Zhao refused to kneel, she immediately asked the maids to come forward and force Shen Zhao to kneel down to Lin Jiaojiao.
Chu Mu knew that his mother had misunderstandings and resentments towards Shen Zhao.
He said to Lin Jiaojiao, "Miss Lin, what did I do wrong? And Miss Lin, do you think I should kneel down to you?"
After you provide the great god cat to eat raw pickled body swap, the general tore his white moonlight
