Chapter 105: Stroke
At least if it were Su Tan, he would never let himself fall into this situation!
Madam Song pointed at her and kept coughing, almost coughing out her heart and lungs. "Go and explain to those people now that I didn't treat you harshly. Go quickly!"
Old Madam Song stared at Liu Qingyin with her cloudy eyes.
Liu Qingyin bowed her head with a fragile look on her face, tears welling in her eyes. "Okay, I... I'll go right away. Mother, you... don't be angry. Your health is more important."
Liu Qingyin said she wanted to clarify things for Old Madam Song, and she really did clarify things for her.
Wearing a veil, she distributed porridge at the entrance of the general's residence. Braving the wind and snow, she took advantage of the crowd and said timidly, coughing softly, "Everyone, I am the new bride of the Song family... I've heard rumors about our family these past few days. They're truly false."
She was wearing thin clothes, her eyes were red, and she said helplessly, "My mother-in-law has never been mean to me, otherwise I wouldn't have braved the wind and snow and kneeled up those steps step by step that day."
"I beg you all to carefully distinguish, I... my mother-in-law..."
When Liu Qingyin said this, she shuddered and shrank back, her voice tinged with tears. "My mother-in-law is really not as the outside world says. She is a very good person, not bad at all. She just has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Please don't misunderstand her..."
With every word she spoke, her body trembled a little, and at the end, she almost fainted.
When some people saw that she was wearing thin clothes, they became even more indignant.
"How ridiculous! Who would believe that Old Lady Song isn't mean? If she weren't, why would she let the bride wear so little in the middle of winter? Could it be that the old woman just wanted to freeze her to death?!"
…
"That's right. Look at how this girl trembles uncontrollably every time she speaks. How could she be willing to speak for Old Lady Song here? Maybe that old hag forced her to do that!"
…
"I heard that this girl has no parents and her father sacrificed his life to save Song Tingchen. Why are these people bullying her like this?"
…
"What's the point of risking my life to save Song Tingchen? If it weren't for General Su, the Song family wouldn't have achieved their current success. After General Su's family died, didn't they still drive Princess Jiayi out of the house? Fortunately, Princess Jiayi is determined and can predict the future. Otherwise, how would a woman live after a divorce?"
…
The more the people listened, the more they felt that Old Madam Song was a mean old woman and that anyone who married into her family would be in big trouble.
I had some suspicions that the rumors might be exaggerated.
Now I feel that the insults those people gave were too mild.
What could a vicious person like Old Madam Song not do?
"Good girl, there's no need to speak for your vicious mother-in-law. Since you're distributing porridge here today, we'll take charge of your case and teach that nasty old woman a lesson!"
As they spoke, this group of people actually rushed into the Song Mansion.
The guards of the general's mansion immediately drew their swords and glared at him.
Liu Qingyin's face turned pale. While explaining that she was really not bullied by Old Madam Song, she quickly asked someone to call Old Madam Song to clarify the misunderstanding.
Old Man Song was sitting in the carriage. When he was pushed out by the maids and servants, he almost vomited blood.
Liu Qingyin is really good at causing trouble but not helping anything!
But she still forced a smile on her face, and tried to look at Liu Qingyin with a loving expression, "What's wrong? Why did you call me over for no reason?"
Old Madam Song wanted to act innocent and show that she knew nothing about the matter.
But the people at the door had already spat fiercely, "Bah! You old witch, stop pretending here. Who are you pretending to be? You're so old and paralyzed, and you're still torturing your daughter-in-law. Do you have any shame?!"
Old Madam Song was a little panicked. These people were all refugees who didn't care about their lives. They were no different from bandits. "It's a misunderstanding..."
"This is all a misunderstanding..."
"I love Qingyin so much, how could I torture her?"
Liu Qingyin also had tears in her eyes and kept shaking her head, "Yes, my mother-in-law has always treated me very well. She really wouldn't treat me badly as everyone misunderstands. Everyone... everyone, please don't be angry."
The more she spoke, the more everyone felt that she had really suffered a great injustice.
Finally, someone couldn't help it, took off his straw sandals, and threw them at Old Madam Song.
"Bah! I'll beat you to death, you old hag, for still bullying others at your age!"
"That's right, everyone, don't let her go!"
Someone picked up a stone from somewhere and threw it directly at Old Madam Song, as if he wanted to kill her.
Fortunately, the stone did not hit Mrs. Song's head, but hit her mouth.
A piece of Mrs. Song's front teeth was knocked out, and her mouth suddenly became swollen. She screamed in pain.
The people were still not satisfied. It was unclear whether they were truly feeling sorry for Liu Qingyin or if they wanted to take this opportunity to vent their frustrations towards these powerful people.
Old Madam Song originally wanted Liu Qingyin to clarify the rumors.
The result was counterproductive, and she was scolded even more harshly.
The people's curses, one after another, pierced her ears like knives.
Old Madam Song couldn't bear it anymore, she spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
"Mother!"
Liu Qingyin's face turned pale instantly, her eyes filled with worry, "Quick! Close the door and call a doctor!"
…
Old Madam Song had a stroke.
At this moment, her eyes were crooked and her mouth was twisted, and she couldn't say a word. She kept talking for a long time, but no one could figure out what she wanted to say.
Liu Qingyin wiped her tears and looked up at the doctor, "Doctor, is there really no way to cure my mother's illness?"
The doctor shook his head and sighed, "The old lady's old injuries haven't healed yet, so it's not appropriate for her to get angry. And now... well, Madam, please take good care of her. If you're lucky enough to meet the legendary doctor Wangyou someday, perhaps there will be a chance for recovery."
This is a death sentence for Old Madam Song.
“Ah! Ah! Ah!”
Old Madam Song stared at Liu Qingyin with her cloudy eyes, looking so fierce that she almost wanted to poke holes into her body.
It’s all this little bitch’s fault!
It's all this bitch who harmed me!
Tears welled up in Madam Song's eyes.
She regrets it!
I shouldn't have asked Tingchen to marry Liu Qingyin, this unlucky girl!
Ever since Liu Qingyin entered the Song family, nothing good has happened in the Song family!
Liu Qingyin grabbed Madam Song's hand, tears streaming down her face. "Mother, you've suffered so much. Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of you."
"My poor mother, why... why does she have to suffer so much..."
Old Madam Song stared at her intently and threw her hand away with disgust. Liu Qingyin fell to the ground, tears falling one by one on the ground, but she didn't dare to complain at all.
"Mother, if you're angry, just let it out. You'll kill me if you hit me or scold me, but don't keep it bottled up in your heart!"
Liu Qingyin's voice sounded with tears in her eyes.
Madam Song’s eyes went dark, and she almost fainted again, “Ah! Ah!”
Tingchen!
Why hasn’t Tingchen come back yet!
She was wrong!
She was really wrong!
As soon as Tingchen comes back, she will make him divorce Liu Qingyin, the vicious and shameless jinx!
