Chapter 109 The Best Mother-in-law's Handbook 31
Zhu Zhenmei, who failed to get what she wanted, was driven back to the west wing by Ji Changsheng. She felt as sad as an abandoned little beast. She hid in a dark corner and began to sharpen her sharp claws.
Isn't her mother so cruel and heartless just to take care of the piece of meat in her belly?
She wanted to leave all the family property to an unborn child, and she didn't believe her brothers would agree.
They already have several children, so why should they give birth to a burden to compete with them for the family property?
New Year's Day
The two children of Zhu Erlang came to knock on the door early, saying that they wanted to kowtow to their grandparents and wish them a happy new year.
Feng Wu handed each of them a red envelope that he had prepared long ago, and patted the two little kids' heads. "Jinbao, you should study hard in school. I don't ask you to pass the imperial examinations, but I hope you will learn etiquette and know right from wrong."
After attending school for a few months, Jinbao has indeed become much more sensible and his personality has become calmer. He is no longer the snotty kid who wandered around the village.
Ji Changsheng took his sons to visit several elders in the clan to pay New Year's greetings early in the morning and would not be back soon.
Feng Wu was heavy and wore a thick red double-breasted jacket, which made her look plump. She called the maid who came to serve her to help her out of the room.
The food prepared on the table was steaming. Feng Wu helped himself to the table and sat down. He called for dinner. Two daughters-in-law, a daughter, a granddaughter, and a table full of women gathered around the round table to eat.
Feng Wu picked up the soup on the table and was about to drink it when she smelled a scent that did not belong to the ingredients. After a careful sniff, Feng Wu lowered her eyelids and said lightly: "Today's soup smells fishy. Who made this soup today?" She had spent half her life smelling herbs in the previous small world. She could tell what was put in the soup by smelling it carefully.
The old woman was puzzled, but answered honestly, "It was prepared by Chef Zhang. She has always been busy with the kitchen affairs." The ladies knew it!
"Oh! Really? Then it might be that the ingredients are not clean!" Feng Wu put down the bowl in his hand, took out a bowl of yellow rice porridge from the earthenware jar, smelled it inconspicuously, and made sure that there was nothing that shouldn't be in the porridge before he ate with peace of mind.
Zhu Zhenmei stared at the untouched bowl of soup, her teeth gnashing with hatred. Why was her mother so lucky? Ever since her father had broken his head, he had taken care of her meticulously. The family even had a large workshop, making a fortune every day, and even at fifty, he was still able to have children.
Such a good life should belong to her. She should be the happy woman who has a loving husband, legitimate children around her, and a lot of money on her side.
Why should her mother, an old woman who was about to die, rob her of her fortune!
Feng Wu calmly used his spiritual sense to observe the three people at the table.
The second daughter-in-law is a simpleton. She is greedy and doesn't care about anything else. Even if she has the courage, she wouldn't dare to do anything to murder anyone.
As for the third daughter-in-law, she is not completely innocent. Just as Zhu Zhenmei said, the third daughter-in-law made an indispensable contribution to her being able to marry into the Wang family so smoothly. Knowing that the young master of the Wang family is a homosexual, she still pushed her sister-in-law into the fire pit. She is not a good person either.
The two children she gave birth to were both from the owner of the restaurant. Only Zhu Sanlang, that self-righteous idiot, didn't even know that he was injured and couldn't have children. He thought he had the father and daughter in his hands, but he didn't know that they only treated him as a tool.
The most stupid and vicious one is Zhu Zhenmei. In her previous life, she was a ruthless person who killed the entire Wang family and took refuge with Zhu Xiaotao with a large sum of money. She knew that there was something fishy about her eldest brother's tragic death, but she protected Lin. Even when her mother knelt down and begged her to go to Jingzhao Yin to testify for her eldest brother, she remained unmoved and even blamed her mother for acting without considering the consequences and delaying her bright future.
The original Liu Fengniang committed suicide under the drum of denunciation. She knew that it was impossible for her to overthrow the Lin family who had the support of the royal family. She could only use the most tragic way to arouse the sympathy of the world, hoping that the emperor sitting high in the temple would lower his eyes and see her injustice.
However, her blood only stained the land under the drum. The body was wrapped in a tattered straw mat and thrown into the mass grave by two cursing clerks, and became food for hyenas.
Seeing deep disappointment in Zhu Zhen's eyes, Feng Wu raised the corners of his lips and revealed a cruel smile.
After breakfast, Feng Wu returned to his room. Zhu Zhenmei glared at Jiang, who was smiling warmly, unwillingly, and returned to the side room angrily.
Just as she was about to close the door, the maid outside came in to remind her, "Madam, how are things going?"
"Get out of here, you dog slave." Before the old woman could withdraw her hand, she was squeezed by the closing door and screamed.
Zhu Zhen's eyes flashed with satisfaction, but she didn't show it on her face. She said with disgust, "Go and apply some medicated oil on yourself. You were born a dog slave, but you really think you are some kind of delicate and precious master."
The old woman held her deformed fingers in her palms, cold sweat broke out on her head due to the pain, but she still lowered her head and looked submissive.
The little maidservant beside her looked somewhat sad. She had to face the moody young mistress every day, and being beaten and punished was commonplace. "Mammy, go ask Madam Zhu to help get a doctor!"
The nanny shook her head, "How could a servant ask his master to invite a doctor?"
Someone was watching Zhu Zhenmei's every move. When they heard that the nanny beside Zhu Zhenmei was injured, they immediately sent medicine over.
That night, Zhu Zhenmei came to Fengwu again to make a fuss, asking for the prescription in her words.
Feng Wu stopped her furious husband, pulled Zhu Zhenmei to sit on the soft couch by the window, and explained the situation to her in detail, "It's not that mother is cruel and doesn't want to give you the prescription. If you get the prescription, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep it. The Wang family will let you hold the prescription and watch."
Zhu Zhen frowned. She had certainly thought about this before, so she said, "Mother, just give me the recipe quietly. If I don't tell anyone, who would know I have the recipe?"
Feng Wu disagreed, "You have a prescription but can't use it, so why bother getting yourself into trouble? If the Wang family finds out, they won't let you go. Aren't you afraid of the Wang family?"
There was a flash of malice in Zhu Zhenmei's eyes, but she said nonchalantly, "What are you afraid of? People eat all kinds of grains, so it's inevitable that they will get sick. If the whole Wang family unfortunately gets sick, I will be the head of the family." Zhu Zhenmei's eyes became brighter as she spoke, and she didn't notice that behind her, through a window, a pair of fierce eyes were staring at her.
Feng Wu: "...How can you say such a thing, little girl? That's your in-laws' family. Come on, come closer, I'll recite the recipe to you silently. Instead of writing it down on paper and getting caught, it's better to remember it in your heart. That way, no one can steal it. But you can't tell anyone about this recipe, not even the Wang family."
"I'm not stupid. The Wang family wants to use the recipe to control me. They're dreaming!" If she gets angry, she will kill that disgusting family directly.
