Chapter 280 Taking Medicine
One pill per person, who uses it first?
Jia Zheng and Wang Shi were stunned.
They never thought they would die.
It was the old lady who did it herself.
“Big…Big Brother…”
Jia Zheng's legs were trembling, and he cried out in grief, "It's Wang..."
"No, you can't do this to us."
Wang grabbed the bottle Lai Mama had put down and smashed it, shouting, "My Yuanchun is the Marquis's wife, and my Zhu'er will soon take the exam. You can't do this to us. I want to find the old lady, I want to find Shen."
She wanted to go crazy, she wanted to call many, many people to come.
However, the villagers who used to hang around the door were nowhere to be found.
Outside, there were only palace guards standing in various directions.
They, they mean business.
Are they really going to execute her and Jia Zheng?
How is this possible? The old lady loves her second son so much.
"Second Madam, why bother?"
Nanny Lai waved her hand at the two maids who were about to come in, signaling them not to go any further. "Since we are talking about the eldest girl and Master Zhu, please be respectful for their sakes. Otherwise... If you don't want to be respectful, we servants can't give you respect."
Her voice was very slow and not loud, but to Wang Shi and Jia Zheng it sounded like a devil's curse.
"No, you can't do this to me. I was just talking out of turn."
Wang cried bitterly, "I will go and apologize, I will go and apologize to my eldest sister-in-law, please, let us go, we really won't dare to do it again, please."
"...The eldest wife of the East Mansion is no longer someone you can see whenever you want, Second Wife."
Nanny Lai responded coldly, "Second Madam and Second Master, please hurry up. Forcing the servants to take action will not be good for you, Master Zhu and Second Master Bao."
Jia Zheng: “…”
Wang: “…”
At this moment, Wang was so frightened that she forgot to cry.
The two of them looked at Jia She and Jia Zhen who were waiting for them to take the medicine, and suddenly realized that their second branch might have been abandoned by the Jia family.
"Brother~~~"
"I don't have a brother like you."
When Jia Zheng was about to call for help again, Jia She interrupted him and said, "When you allow Wang Shi to throw dirty water on your family like that, you are no longer my brother. If my grandfather and father are still alive, they will definitely be ashamed of you."
Jia Zheng: “…”
He didn't dare to look directly into his nephew Jia Zhen's murderous eyes, and turned to Wang Shi, who was crying. The fear and regret in his heart gave him endless strength, "It's all your fault~"
Jia Zheng slapped Wang with all his strength, forcing her to retreat several steps and fall to the ground.
“Ah~~~~”
Wang's mouth was full of blood foam. When she spat out two teeth that had been loose for a long time, she burst into tears, "Wuwuwu~~~"
"Since the Second Madam doesn't want to be decent, then give her a ride!"
Nanny Lai did not waste any time. She raised her hand and two maids who had been waiting at the door came forward, picked up the pills that Wang had just knocked over, and without saying a word, one of them grabbed her and the other held her chin, and threw the pills into her mouth, then sealed her mouth to prevent her from spitting it out.
Wang struggled violently.
But how could she be a match for the two old women? Especially at the end, even her nose was covered.
Jia Zheng's hands and legs were shaking.
His hands were numb from the slap just now, but seeing his wife, whom he had hated for more than a year, being held down like this, his heart was filled with endless sorrow.
He slowly bent down, picked up the gray-brown pill rolling at his feet, and took one last look at his brother.
Jia She's expression was indifferent, without any sign of pity.
Jia Zheng's lips trembled and his body was shaking. He didn't dare to look at his nephew whose expression was even colder. He put the pill into his mouth and swallowed it with great effort, stretching his neck.
"It's my fault, big brother. For the sake of being from the same mother, please help me take care of Zhu'er, Baoyu and Huan'er."
"…They are my nephews. I will take care of them if I can."
Jia She looked at this extremely selfish brother and was not really moved. From childhood to adulthood, he had been deceived countless times by his brother's rhetoric of admitting his mistakes on the surface but actually shifting the blame. "You have studied for so many years, but you have learned nothing. You don't even understand the principle of sharing weal and woe together.
If the Jia family is not good, how can your sons and daughters be good? What's more, Zhu'er, Baoyu, and even Yuanchun were taken care of more by the eldest sister-in-law. ”
Both of them are stupid and bad, just as bad as each other.
"You think you are harming your sister-in-law? In fact, you are harming yourselves."
Jia She didn't even say that you are harming your own child.
Just looking at Jia Zhen, you can tell that he will definitely not help Jia Zhu at all.
Count on him? It's even more impossible.
Jia She has a very standard position on himself, which is to be a peaceful master at home and not cause trouble to his family and children. This is what he has done to his grandfather and father.
That was how they positioned him back then.
"At this point, you should stop thinking about the children. They... have also been killed because of you."
“Cough cough~~cough cough cough~~~”
Wang gulped several times before the old woman's hand was completely released.
But it was obvious that releasing it at this point was useless.
She had already swallowed what she should have swallowed.
Of course, she also heard what Jia She said.
She never thought of implicate her own children.
But at this time, Wang knew that she would eventually implicate her Zhu'er and cause her death.
Three years! Not only would he miss the scientific expedition, he would also miss having a child.
Wang whimpered, "I took the medicine, I want to see Zhu'er, I want to see my Zhu'er for the last time. Jia Zheng, don't you want to see Zhu'er for the last time?"
Looking at the indifferent expressions of these people, she knew that it was useless to beg alone, and she could only talk to Jia Zheng again.
But after taking the medicine, Jia Zheng held his stomach and sat on the edge of the kang in a daze.
He didn't feel any pain yet, but he was very scared.
I always feel that in the next breath, the pain that seems to destroy everything will sweep through my body.
"Don't worry, Madam. This medicine is not highly toxic. If the master doesn't come today, he will come tomorrow."
Isn't it a highly poisonous substance?
When Jia Zheng and Wang looked up, hope appeared on their faces.
However, the two quickly realized that if it was not a highly poisonous substance, then it was something that made them seriously ill.
Hehe~ If he died of illness, no one outside would suspect that it was the Shen family who attacked them?
Wang suppressed the roar and accusation that was about to burst out of her throat.
She was afraid that if she screamed out, Jia Zhen would immediately punish her.
"How many days do we have?"
Wang asked them in a hoarse voice.
"...It depends on the health of the Second Master and Second Madam."
Nanny Lai was actually not happy to do this.
She is old too, and she also wants to do some good deeds for herself.
But the old lady's order..., she couldn't disobey it.
"With luck, it should be able to last ten days or half a month."
Of course, if you are unlucky, it may be gone in three days.
Jia Zheng may not have understood what Lai Ma Ma had not finished saying, but Wang Shi did.
She wanted to see her son even more.
Since you have to observe mourning and cannot take the exam, you should just have a baby as soon as possible!
We can’t let Jia Lian and Feng Yatou get ahead.
If they get there first, the second house will definitely get less of the old lady's things in the future.
Wang was now extremely regretful. She was a little soft-hearted when she drugged Jia Lian and Feng Yatou. In addition, she used a very light dose to avoid being discovered.
Now that they are away from home and cannot continue taking medication, they will recover in less than two years.
If I had known this would happen, I should have been more ruthless and used drastic measures!
Wang didn't know how long she could delay.
She was sick a few days ago and hasn't recovered yet.
This medicine...
Wang felt a slight pain in her lower abdomen, and immediately showed a look of pain on her face, "Zhu'er, I want to see my Zhu'er, I want to see my Yuanchun. Zhu'er, Yuanchun..."
"Tell her to shut up!"
Jia She didn't like to listen to her nagging.
This woman has too many little thoughts.
Now that you meet Zhu'er and Yuanchun, do you want to report them? But what if I filed a complaint?
Even if Zhu'er and Yuanchun were to become alienated from the family because of them, the family would not be the one to suffer in the end.
At this point, does this woman still think that the Jia family cannot do without her child, and that her child is the most promising one in the Jia family?
snort! "Someone come and check on the progress of Lin Zhixiao and the others."
Lin Zhixiao led the team to seal the mouth.
Both coercion and inducement are used.
Anyone who dares to speak against Hu Qin is seeking death.
"yes!"
The servant quickly withdrew.
At this time, the carriage carrying Shen Ning and others was still halfway along the road.
Jia Zhu was extremely anxious, but he couldn't ride a horse now.
In order to prevent his aunt from being sad, he did not dare to ask the servant to stop it for him.
Every breath was extremely painful for him.
"Pearl!"
Grandmother Jia was also anxious, but Shen's carriage was in front and they couldn't pass her.
"This is the last time."
By this time, Er'er and Wang must have taken the very cold medicine.
Although they had asked the palace doctor to get some medicine for their condition before leaving the palace, the dosage was small and if they took the medicine, it would inevitably damage their foundation. "In the future..."
"My grandson knows."
Jia Zhu's voice was dull, "My grandson... I will definitely not force it. If there is anything in the future, if they can afford to hire a doctor, then hire one. If they can't afford it... then just endure it."
How many poor people live like this.
"The person my grandson feels most sorry for right now is my aunt!"
If his hair hadn't shocked his aunt so much, and she had known that the family had sent someone to deliver medicine without her knowledge, she would definitely not have cared anymore.
"Grandma, is your grandson useless?"
"Who said that?"
Grandmother Jia sighed in her heart, "What does your father and mother's affairs have to do with you? If you don't teach your child well, it's your father's fault."
In fact, she doted on her second son too much.
"Your grandfather was busy back then, and your grandmother just doted on you..."
The Duke should have seen through it, but the Jia family only has Jia Jing.
Just like in the East Palace, after Jia Jing came into being, Jia Zhen could only act like the eldest son.
"Grandma never thought that he would become crooked like that."
Lian'er has been with her since he was a child. He knows that the Li family is plotting against the East Palace, and he knows to go to the Li family to vent his anger for Zhen'er. Why doesn't Er'er understand that he can't write two Jia characters with one stroke?
It’s all because of Wang’s fault!
The old saying is indeed right: marrying an unvirtuous wife will bring disaster to three generations.
"Your mother's heart has never been with the Jia family."
She is also a woman. When she spoke like that about Shen and Da'er, she never thought that her words would also affect Yuanchun and Zhu'er.
"She has never thought about you. If she had thought about you at all, she wouldn't have been so biased towards the Wang family."
In fact, if Yuanchun really wanted to gain power after entering the palace, the first person to benefit from it would definitely be Wang Ziteng.
Only they, one in the court and the other in the harem, can support each other.
But the Jia family...
Unable to make any achievements in the court, even if Yuanchun wanted to mention it, she would not be able to do so.
Grandmother Jia has been thinking a lot lately. "Let your wife learn more from your aunt in the East Palace."
"……Um!"
Jia Zhu listened to it.
The scenery outside the window is receding. In a moment, it will arrive.
Jia Zhu couldn't help but cough a few more times.
He was thinking quickly in his mind how to persuade his parents.
But the more I think about it, the harder it feels.
Parents...only believe in their own principles.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have come to this point.
he……
Jia Zhu suddenly thought of a way. He secretly bit his tongue and wiped it on his sleeve when his grandmother was not paying attention.
He is my parents' greatest reliance.
If he were no longer capable, they would definitely be more obedient.
After a while, they finally arrived at the small courtyard.
Shen Ning was the first to get off the car.
Upon hearing the news, Jia Zhen hurried out to greet him.
Jia She, who took a step back, saw that his sister-in-law did not seem to be trapped by Huang Yao. He felt relieved and finally thought of himself.
For a moment, he looked left and right in panic, making sure that there was really no place to hide. He could only lower his head and hang his hands to act honestly.
At this time, he was not ready to meet his sister-in-law.
In Wang's yellow ballad, he is her adopted brother-in-law!
Jia She simply couldn't believe how Wang could have fabricated such words about him.
What a wonderful person my sister-in-law is!
There is no way he can be filial to his mother, but to his sister-in-law in the East Mansion, he respects her and wants to be filial! When the eldest brother was alive, the eldest sister-in-law accompanied him to take care of him. When the eldest brother was not alive, the eldest sister-in-law also took care of him in both visible and invisible ways.
"Mother, why...why are you here?"
Seeing that his mother looked fine, Jia Zhen felt relieved.
"Such a big thing, do you think you can keep it secret?"
Shen Ning glanced at him, "The old lady and Zhu'er are here too, go and give them a hand."
"Hey~"
Jia Zhen hurried over.
He couldn't help but suspect that it was Jia Zhu who made the noise and asked his mother for help.
Humph, you’re taking advantage of his mother because she’s soft-hearted, eh? Jia Zhen came forward with a bad look on his face, but...
"Old lady~"
He had just given a little support to Lady Jia, who was being supported by a maid, when he saw Jia Zhu, who seemed familiar and yet unfamiliar.
Jia Zhen was stunned on the spot.
Jia Zhu got off the car with unsteady steps, and Grandmother Jia helped him.
"Brother~"
The guilt and sadness in Jia Zhu's eyes were visible to the naked eye.
“…Yes, I am.”
Jia Zhen looked at his brother's hair and was shocked beyond words.
He turned his head blankly and looked at his mother.
"Zhu'er, Zhu'er~~~"
In the house, Jia Zheng and Wang Shi heard the maid say that the old lady and Zhu'er had also arrived, and they both started shouting in the house.
"Grandma, aunt~"
Jia Zhu was worried about his parents' current situation and couldn't help but look at his grandmother and aunt.
"Go ahead!"
Shen Ning waved her hand, indicating that he could go in first.
Jia Zhu hurried to the courtyard, and at this time Jia She just looked up.
He saw his nephew, but his nephew's hair...
Jia She opened his mouth slightly and stared blankly at him as he rushed into the house.
