Chapter 225 The Sixth Miss Has a Chronic Illness
This time, Miss Wu was not awakened by Madam Wu's calls. With her eyes closed, she continued to slash at Madam Wu with her broadsword.
Madam Wu fell to the ground and desperately ran outside, crying out, "Help! Someone, please help!"
Her shouts startled the maids and servants outside the house.
The maids rushed in, and upon seeing the scene before them, they were all shocked. "Madam, what happened?!"
Seeing a lifeline, Madam Wu scrambled toward them, shouting, "Quick, stop Miss Six!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the large knife in Miss Wu's hand landed on her leg, cutting a long, thin wound.
"ah!"
Madam Wu cried out in pain, clutching her injured leg and breaking out in a cold sweat. Her voice trembled as she shouted, "Quick, help!"
Upon seeing the bright red blood, the maids were horrified and rushed forward to subdue Miss Wu.
Miss Wu was pressed heavily to the ground and gradually regained consciousness.
She looked at the maid pinning her down with a confused expression, then looked down at the blood on her hands and exclaimed in surprise, "What... what happened?!"
Madam Wu, clutching her leg wound, yelled at her, "You heartless wretch, how dare you kill your own mother!"
Miss Wu was completely bewildered. "Mother-killing? What mother-killing? What exactly happened to Mother just now?"
The maidservant beside her hurriedly said, "Madam, the Sixth Miss is possessed by an evil spirit! I just saw her with her eyes closed when she held the knife!"
Madam Wu was startled and immediately thought of what the doctor had said earlier.
Miss Wu looked at her hands in a daze, then knelt down before Madam Wu and said, "Mother, I didn't know anything just now. When I woke up, I found myself here."
Madam Wu's face turned pale, and she hurriedly ordered the maids and servants, "Go, lock up the sixth young lady first."
"Yes, Madam." Upon hearing this, the maids and servants turned around, went to Miss Wu's side, lifted her up, and took her to her own room.
Miss Wu was being dragged along by the servants, and every now and then she would turn around and call out, "Mother, I really didn't kill you, Mother!"
Madam Wu listened with her eyes filled with terror. Ignoring the pain in her leg, she told her maid to fetch the doctor and went to Master Wu's room.
When Mr. Wu saw the injury on Madam Wu's leg, he was also shocked and stood up abruptly, asking, "Madam, what happened to the injury on your leg?"
Madam Wu tearfully recounted what had just happened, saying, "Master, it's better to believe it than not! If this continues, our Wu family will be destroyed!"
Mr. Wu's legs went weak and he almost lost his balance. He grabbed the table and said, "I'll invite a Taoist priest tomorrow."
Madam Wu wiped away her tears and said, "Well, sir, why don't we move out? Let's move out for a while and then come back."
Master Wu frowned slightly. “That won’t do. If they move out, wouldn’t that mean the Lu family has been wronged? Wait a moment and let the Taoist priest take a look. As for the sixth son, you need to find a way to marry him off quickly.”
Madam Wu was truly frightened by her leg injury and was only thinking about moving away. She tried to persuade him again, "Sir, we are only moving away temporarily. No one should be able to associate this with the Lu family."
Master Wu waved his hand sternly and said, "Madam, you have an injury on your leg. You should go back and treat it properly!"
Upon hearing Mr. Wu's words, Madam Wu immediately shut her mouth and did not refute him further.
Master Wu immediately ordered the maid to send Madam Wu back.
After Madam Wu left, Master Wu's face gradually darkened. He gritted his teeth and said sternly, "The more they want me to leave, the less I will leave. I don't believe that those dead people can do anything to me!"
After he finished speaking, he picked up the cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.
Miss Wu Liu's attempt to kill her mother with a knife at night caused quite a stir in the Wu household. Madam Wu sent people to cover up the news and came to the Zhou family again.
This time, she didn't go to the Zhou family's mansion, but instead went to the Zhou family's incense shop.
Only Zhou Feng and Zhou Ruiyuan were inside the incense shop.
Without saying a word, she walked up to Zhou Ruiyuan, took out a stack of silver notes and said, "Here is a thousand taels of silver. Take this silver, divorce your peasant wife, and marry our sixth young lady."
If an ordinary farmer saw this banknote, he would probably have divorced his wife and married the daughter of this Lord Wu.
However, Zhou Ruiyuan looked at the silver and sneered, "Madam Wu, does your sixth young lady suffer from some kind of chronic illness?"
