Chapter 252 Revenge
Zhao Jue's eyes were cold: "Didn't you say it could be cured?"
"Your family is in dire straits. If you hire a few more doctors, you might have to sell your house. You won't even have a place to stay."
The doctor advised, "No matter how much you treat your mother's illness, she won't be able to get out of bed on her own. Instead of paying the doctor, you'd better buy her some good food."
Zhao Jue's self-esteem was once again severely damaged.
Not only the servants of the Zhenbei Palace, but even a doctor looked down on him.
Zhao Jue contacted several other companies, but without exception, they all rejected him.
-
At the Zhao Mansion on Xingning Street, the second wife was lying on the bed, her hands and feet unable to move, allowing Shen Mingzhu to support her and lean against the head of the bed.
After fainting in the Duke's Mansion, she woke up again and was paralyzed in bed, unable to take care of herself.
Shen Mingzhu looked at the second wife with crooked eyes and a slanted mouth. Where was her former majesty?
She took a handkerchief, placed it under the second wife's chin, and brought a bowl of porridge to feed her.
The Second Lady was used to eating delicacies from land and sea, so she should not be able to eat bland porridge.
But at this moment, she ate one bite after another.
I’m afraid that if I don’t eat, I’ll be hungry.
Ever since Zhao Jue told the second master two days ago that he had no money to treat her illness, Shen Mingzhu took advantage of the fact that the men in the family were out and refused to give her food or water.
Last night, Zhao Jue came home to visit her, and she complained to him.
Today Shen Mingzhu changed her attitude and fed her food, probably because she was scolded.
The second wife sneered in her heart, even if she was paralyzed in bed, she could still torture Shen Mingzhu.
Shen Mingzhu lowered her eyes and silently served the second wife two bowls of porridge, then fed her a glass of water, wiped her mouth, and helped her lie down.
Shen Mingzhu didn't go anywhere. She sat in a chair and stayed by the second wife's side.
The second wife stared at Shen Mingzhu's bulging belly, her eyes rolled, and a plan came to her mind.
"Zhu'er, the old lady is very kind to the younger generation and has always been generous. Our family is almost broke. Go to the Duke's Mansion and ask the old lady for some money."
The second wife's mouth was crooked and her words were unclear. As she spoke, her saliva began to flow.
Shen Mingzhu's eyes flashed with disgust, and she didn't say anything.
The second wife continued, "If we go to ask for silver, the old lady won't give it to us. If you go to ask for silver, she will give you some for the sake of the child."
Shen Mingzhu sneered in her heart. The old hag was half buried in the ground, but she was still scheming about this and that.
Only when you are in the coffin will everything be completely peaceful.
When the Second Lady saw Shen Mingzhu pretending to be deaf and dumb, she was furious and was about to curse.
Suddenly, my lower abdomen felt bloated and I wanted to go to the bathroom.
"You... come here." The Second Madam instructed Shen Mingzhu, "Serve me while I go to the toilet."
Shen Mingzhu couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "Mother-in-law, I'm pregnant and can't help you go to the toilet."
She touched her slightly bulging belly and said, "If something happens to the baby in my belly, how can I go to the Duke's Mansion and ask the old lady for money?"
The Second Madam choked and said incoherently, "Qiu...Qiu Chan...let her...let her serve me."
"Qiu Chan has taken a job at the embroidery workshop. If she doesn't earn money to support the family, what will we eat and drink?"
Shen Mingzhu poured a glass of water and handed it to the Second Madam: "Just bear with it for a while. Wait until Qiuchan comes back and let her take you to the bathroom."
The second wife's expression suddenly changed. Seeing the malice in Shen Mingzhu's eyes, she immediately understood.
This bitch didn't feed her because she was afraid of being scolded. She clearly hated her for complaining and fed her on purpose to make her want to defecate and make her look bad.
She kept her mouth tightly shut and refused to drink the water.
"Mother-in-law, you better hold it in. Don't let it show on yourself. If Third Master knew about this, I'm afraid he wouldn't even want to acknowledge you as his mother."
Shen Mingzhu looked at the Second Madam's angry expression and felt a surge of satisfaction in her heart: "Father-in-law stays in the brothel all day and doesn't even want to go home. If he finds out, I'm afraid he'll divorce you, right?"
The Second Madam's face turned pale. After their Second Branch was expelled from the clan, the Second Master felt that there was no hope. Not only did he stay in a brothel, he also wanted to redeem a woman there.
If the family wasn't poor, they would have brought the person back home long ago.
"After all, it's all because of poverty." Shen Mingzhu stabbed the Second Madam in the heart. "If the silver you moved from the treasury hadn't been confiscated by the old lady, you would have lived a very comfortable life with servants and maids. Now, all the silver you have guarded for over twenty years has gone into Shen Qingtan's pocket."
The second wife's blood boiled, and a bloody smell rose to her throat, which she swallowed forcefully.
Whenever she thought of this incident, she felt filled with hatred.
She was only one step away from moving the silver out of the Duke's Mansion.
But it failed at the last moment.
Not only did he lose his money, but he was also paralyzed in bed.
The urge to go to the bathroom comes so suddenly that I feel very uncomfortable and bloated.
"Please..." the Second Madam begged, "Please, take me to the toilet."
Although she was no longer the second wife of the Duke's Mansion, she had been pampered for so many years and had a strong sense of self-esteem. She could not bear to have herself urinated and defecated on herself.
Shen Mingzhu felt very happy when she saw that the second wife had changed her previous arrogance, put aside her pride and status and begged her.
Ever since she married Zhao Jue, she had to set rules in front of the Second Madam every day. Not only did she have to serve the Second Madam meals, but she also had to wash her feet.
The Second Lady would vent her anger on her, beating and scolding her at every turn, clearly not treating her as a human being.
After the fall of the Marquis's Mansion, she lived under the Second Madam's control, fearing that the Second Madam would ask Zhao Jue to divorce her if she was displeased.
Now God has opened his eyes and let the second wife paralyzed in bed.
Shen Mingzhu hated the Second Madam in her heart, and now that she had finally gotten the chance, she naturally wanted to take revenge.
"Pearl..."
As soon as the second wife opened her mouth, Shen Mingzhu poured the water in the cup into her mouth.
The tea choked her trachea and the second wife coughed violently. A hot stream surged from her lower body and a foul smell filled the room.
The second wife was stunned, and after realizing that she had urinated on herself, she completely collapsed.
Just at this moment, Zhao Jue came in from outside and smelled a strange odor in the room.
He frowned, disgust flashing in his eyes.
Zhao Jue's disgusted expression further irritated the Second Madam, who wished she could die.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something.
Shen Mingzhu was the first to speak and turn the tables.
