Chapter 652: Death of Mother Lu
Mother Lu spoke in a hoarse voice, but in a very gentle tone, "You know what? The thing that makes me happiest is that before I die, I can see that you have the woman you love."
Against the backdrop of the blood at the corners of her lips and the haggard and sallow complexion on her face, her smile was not pretty.
However, the happiness that comes from the heart seems to be overflowing from my heart.
She looked at Miss Du, who was crying beside her: "Good child, Miss Du is also a good child."
Lu Yunjue opened his mouth. He didn't want to talk about this topic, but he couldn't bear to interrupt his mother's last words.
Mother Lu's voice grew softer and softer. "Actually, what I want to see most is the day when you get married and start a family... If you want to marry Miss Du, you don't have to observe mourning for me. I really, really want to..."
Tears slowly rolled down from the corners of her eyes, and she stopped breathing.
"Mom?" Lu Yunjue couldn't believe it. "Mom, wake up!"
However, Mother Lu would never respond to him again.
Doctor He came forward to feel the patient's pulse, then felt the patient's breath and sighed, "The patient is gone."
In the half-filled copper basin of blood under the bed, the woman's limp arms were reflected. Before she died, she seemed to want to touch her son one more time, but she couldn't.
When they first arrived in the capital, it was Lu's mother who accepted Hu Xin'er as her daughter-in-law from the bottom of her heart.
She never disliked Hu Xiner's vulgarity and taught her step by step how to be a good mistress of the house.
After Hu Xiner grew up, she gave up power without hesitation.
At that time, because of the pain she had experienced in the past, her mental illness had not been cured, and she often had nightmares all night long.
But what appeared in front of everyone was still the dignified and elegant Mrs. Lu who handled things flawlessly.
In other people's lives, Mother Lu seems to play a burden most of the time.
She gave birth to Mu Qing and became a burden that Prime Minister Lu could not let go of due to his mixed feelings of love and hate. She also personally caused her sister Jiang Yao to be displaced for many years and the entire Jiang family to be destroyed.
In the prince's chess game, she is always the weakness and soft spot of everyone in the Lu family. If it weren't for her illness, Hu Xin'er and others might have already set off for the small mountain village and would not have been discovered by the prince's men.
However, she is also the one who endures the most pain. With her flexible shoulders, she bears all the suffering given by fate and tries her best to offer her warmth to others.
She was by no means an ignorant woman without any ability. She was once the most beautiful and charming eldest daughter of the Jiang family. She should have had a wonderful story with the down-and-out Lu Shusheng.
In the end, she lost her life due to her own kindness and guilt, and died at the hands of the orphan girl she loved most.
On the couch, Mother Lu's body was still warm. She hadn't finished speaking when she died, and she didn't seem as peaceful as she was when she was sleeping.
"Mom...Mom!" Hu Xiner rushed forward, but because she was concerned about the child, she could not make any closer moves.
When she looked at Mother Lu's face, she was overwhelmed with grief and fainted.
Miss Du said cautiously, "Please accept my condolences. Madam Lu has fainted. Why don't we take care of her first..."
Before he could finish his words, Mu Qing and Lu Yunjue, who were kneeling in front of the bed, both spat out blood and fainted.
Master Du hurriedly stepped into the room. It was obviously not a long distance, but his martial arts skills still made him sweat. He was very anxious in his heart.
He panted and said, "The medicine... the medicine is here... I brought all the thousand-year-old ginseng in the warehouse."
But no one responded to him.
He was holding a pile of boxes and looked at the scene in front of him somewhat helplessly.
Mrs. Du wiped the tears from her eyes with a handkerchief and pushed him aside: "What are you standing there for? Put down the medicine box and help clean up!"
Looking at the messy scene in front of him, no matter how stupid Mr. Du was, he knew what was happening.
He was also infected by the atmosphere and walked towards the bed dejectedly, ready to rescue Hu Xiner first.
Unexpectedly, Yin Li picked up Hu Xin'er and carried her sideways, sighing silently: "Silly girl, other people's mothers died, and you cried so sadly? It's a good thing your husband wasn't really poisoned by a Gu, otherwise you would have cried yourself to death."
When Miss Du saw Lu Yunjue faint, she hurried forward: "Lu Lang? Lu Lang?"
She picked up Lu Yunjue and walked out.
The only person left by the bed was Mu Qing who had fainted on the ground. Master Du was halfway through holding Mu Qing in his arms when he suddenly froze. Why did he feel like something was wrong?
The light blue gauze curtains and the white tent top exuded a peaceful atmosphere. Incense was burning in the room. The servants were working outside, making noises from time to time.
The scene was as beautiful as when she just woke up this morning. Hu Xiner opened her eyes and was stunned, almost thinking that everything that had just happened was a dream.
Perhaps, Mother Lu was not having a last gasp of life, but the toxins in her body had been completely healed, and she was about to wake up and go to the banquet with them?
A hand waved in front of her: "Are you awake? If you are, take the medicine."
Yin Li put away her usual cynical expression. Her serious look made Hu Xin'er even more dazed. She couldn't help but ask, "Where's Mom?"
Yin Li originally wanted to answer directly that he was dead.
But he looked at Hu Xin'er for a few times, and finally just pursed his lips and said: "Shouldn't you take care of your own children first?"
Hu Xiner touched her stomach nervously. There was no sign of bleeding and no pain in her stomach.
She breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to ask the question again, but she sensitively stopped herself. However, when she thought of Mother Lu, her nose couldn't help but feel sore.
Mu Qing looked surprised. Was this woman going to cry again?
Hu Xin'er slowed down and asked calmly, "Where's Mu Qing? How is he?"
"He and Lu Yunjue both fainted and are still at the Du family." Although Yin Li knew that she would definitely want to find Mu Qing as soon as she woke up, she still felt a little uneasy.
I have worked so hard for so many days, risking my life, all to make clothes for others.
But he could also understand Hu Xiner's mood at the moment. The anger that had just arisen dissipated on its own without anyone needing to comfort her.
Hu Xin'er didn't have the heart to care about other people's feelings right now. She hurriedly put on her shoes and got off the bed: "I have to go find them."
Yin Li sipped tea while fanning herself: "Then go ahead. Here, it's right next to us."
Hu Xiner left in a hurry without any reluctance.
As he watched her figure disappear outside the door, the seemingly comfortable smile on Yin Li's face gradually faded until it disappeared.
He put the fan on the table with a self-deprecating expression.
In fact, these days he would rather track down the traitor than secretly accompany Hu Xiner like before, precisely because he doesn't want to see the glaring interaction between the couple.
He thought of the dream that had appeared frequently since he was born, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
