Chapter 13 Grandfather Vomited Blood
"Second Madam, please stop talking, the old man is almost out of breath!"
A woman's cry was very sad.
"Are you cursing your uncle, you bitch? He's been like this for the past two years, and you're screaming and wailing so miserably that people who don't know would think he's going to die!"
The harsh female voice came again, "Besides, is there anything wrong with what I said? Zhaoning is the only child of the eldest wife. My uncle worked hard to raise her. Now she has done something so shameful and immoral outside. I have to tell my uncle."
"Zhao Ning is such an unfilial child. She even offended Miss Li. Uncle will never be able to buy medicine from the pharmacy again. If he gets hurt and can't breathe, he won't be able to get a doctor! Doctor Li is so popular in the capital that all doctors listen to him. If he gives a word, no doctor will come to treat Uncle again."
"Zhao Ning also offended Master Xiao, who said that Zhao Ning would never get married. Maybe Zhao Ning, who was rejected by her, is too depressed to come back and has committed suicide by herself."
"puff!"
A gray-haired old man on the bed suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Uncle Zhong, who was standing by, was so frightened that he shouted, "Old Master!"
"Second Madam! Why do you have to come and provoke the old master? Our young lady clearly went to the Xiao Palace in a bridal sedan chair. Prince Xiao promised to take good care of her. She has now married Prince Xiao and is now serving as his wife. But you have to come and talk nonsense in front of the old master. What are you thinking?"
Xiao Tao screamed and couldn't bear it anymore and tried to push Madam Fu Er, trying to drive her out.
Before her hand touched Madam Fu Er, the maid next to Madam Fu had already grabbed her hand aggressively and broke it with force.
"How dare you, you little bitch, to attack our lady? Let me teach you a lesson!"
Xiao Tao's hand was twisted to the point of breaking, and she almost screamed in pain. But when she thought about the old man already vomiting blood, she thought that if she screamed again, he would not be able to bear it any more, so she immediately bit her lips tightly.
The pain made her cry.
The second wife covered her mouth with a handkerchief in a pretentious manner and laughed.
"Xiao Tao, you really misunderstood me. I didn't make these up. They've spread everywhere. You didn't go out today so you didn't hear the news. As soon as I heard it, I rushed over to tell uncle."
Old Master Fu on the bed vomited blood again, his consciousness became heavy and he was about to faint.
He wanted to wake up and ask the Second Madam what happened to Zhaoning and where Zhaoning was, but he felt darkness in front of his eyes.
Old Master Fu felt that his life was coming to an end, and he could even see the darkness of the underworld.
"Zhao. Ning..."
"Uncle, please say something. It would be best if Xiao Tao and the others could go out and look for her. Be it by the river, the well, or some crooked tree. Really, it's really embarrassing that Xiao Shizi broke off the engagement in the street. The bridal sedan was almost at the door, but they still asked us to send her home. "
"Oh my, if it were me, I would feel ashamed to live on."
"If Second Madam feels ashamed to continue living, why not just die now?" A cold voice came in, and with a bang, the half-open door was pushed against the wall.
Everyone in the room turned their heads sharply toward the door.
Fu Zhaoning, dressed in wedding clothes and looking stunning, walked in from the night, her eyes frosty.
Madam Fu opened her mouth wide, unable to react for a moment.
Why would Fu Zhaoning come back now?
"Miss!"
When Xiaotao saw her, she cried out with tears in her eyes.
Woohoo, the young lady really came back at this time. Could it be that Prince Xiao really broke off the engagement with her?
Fu Zhaoning walked in quickly, grabbed the maid's wrist and squeezed it hard.
"ah!"
The maid screamed in pain and let go of Xiao Tao's hand. Fu Zhaoning raised his foot and kicked her hard.
The maid fell to the ground and screamed again.
The Second Madam was horrified and angry, "Zhao Ning! Are you rebelling?"
"Xiao Tao!" Fu Zhaoning said to Xiao Tao in a deep voice, "Grab the broom and drive them out. I will take responsibility for anything that happens!"
Although she wanted to kill the Second Madam right now, Old Master Fu was in a critical condition and she had no time to waste. So Fu Zhaoning simply ignored the Second Madam's words.
"yes!"
Although Xiao Tao was shocked by her change, she was already furious. She immediately obeyed her order, rushed to the door, picked up the broom, and swung it fiercely at the Second Madam and her maids.
"Get out, get out of here."
The second wife was extremely shocked and angry, and quickly moved away.
"Xiao Tao, you bitch, you actually laid hands on me! Wait, your indenture contract won't fall into my hands, or I will sell you to the worst brothel!"
"go out!"
Xiaotao rushed towards them while crying.
Fu Zhaoning ignored this and rushed to the bedside, kneeling on the ground. "Grandfather!"
The moment she saw Old Master Fu, her eyes became hot, her nose felt sore, and she couldn't control her tears at all. Old Master Fu gave her the same feeling as her grandfather!
"Miss..." Zhong Bo also burst into tears.
"Uncle Zhong, you do what I say." Fu Zhaoning wiped away his tears forcefully, and his voice became deeper, carrying a power that made people unable to help but calm down.
"Miss?"
"Go prepare some hot water and rice wine, and go to the clinic at the end of the alley to ask Doctor Song to lend you a set of silver needles."
Fu Zhaoning said this very clearly, paused, gritted his teeth, took off a golden hairpin from his head and handed it over, "No, buy it from him! Buy another ginseng that is at least 30 years old and ask him to slice it immediately. Do these first and come back quickly."
When Uncle Zhong took the golden hairpin with trembling hands, Fu Zhaoning had already stood up, supported Old Master Fu, stretched out his hand to open his collar, found the right spot with his palm, and pressed down.
This golden hairpin belonged to Prince Jun's mansion. She had picked it out when she was getting dressed, and Hong Zhuo put it in her hair.
She didn't want anything from Prince Jun's Mansion, and she wanted to return it, but now the matter was urgent and she had no choice but to use it first.
Later, she would earn enough money to redeem the hairpin and return it to Prince Jun.
Uncle Zhong looked at the golden hairpin in his hand. It was exquisitely crafted, intricate and noble, and heavy. It was obviously not something that ordinary people could afford.
When the young lady went out today, she didn't have such a hairpin at all.
“Go quickly!”
Fu Zhaoning shouted in a deep voice.
Zhong Bo was startled and turned around and ran out quickly.
He ran to the back door and found a saddleless horse there, but it was too late to care about anything else and he quickly opened the door. A carriage just stopped outside the door at this moment.
Prince Jun, wearing a mask, got off the carriage.
