Chapter 86 Son, I am your mother (2)
The original owner was already in a state of anxiety and his life was hanging by a thread.
At this time, the original owner's dead husband He Xiao suddenly came back, bringing back a beautiful woman who was less than 30 years old, and a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old.
He Xiao is about the same age as her, but he still looks handsome. In contrast, the original owner looks like an old woman in her sixties.
He Xiao embraced the beautiful woman and the young man and said to the original owner, "Ms. Li, these are my wife and children. I am sorry for you, but at least you have occupied the position of wife of the Loyal and Brave Marquis for more than twenty years. I don't owe you anything."
That look was like a gift to her.
How could the original owner not feel disgusted? She had been walking on thin ice in the mansion of the Loyal and Brave Earl, struggling miserably, and yet He Xiao hadn't died. Not only had he not died, but he had also not returned to the mansion, but had started a family outside, living a carefree life at her expense.
The original owner became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it. He was so angry that he almost died.
After the original owner died, He Xiao concealed his identity and joined the army to fight. He made military achievements to make up for his mistakes, was pardoned by the emperor, and returned to the Duke of Zhongyong's Mansion in a fair and just manner.
The original owner thought that her family would seek justice for her, but she didn't expect that her most beloved brother was actually the lover of that beautiful woman!
Afterwards, He Xiao retired from the army with his wife and son, and returned to his hometown village with a large sum of money to enjoy family happiness.
The original owner sacrificed all her merit and 35% of her soul to sever ties with her natal family, allowing her eldest brother, Li Yuelan, to fulfill his wish and then to regret it. He Xiao and Bai Weiyun died a miserable death, and the Loyal and Brave Earl's mansion collapsed.
The novel is written from the perspective of the heroine, and the original owner's memory is rather one-sided.
It is unknown whether He Xiao has real amnesia or is faking it.
Sui Shu arrived ten years after He Xiao's fake death. The original owner had suffered a lot. Although she was only thirty years old, she looked more than ten or twenty years older than her peers.
The ones who were beaten just now were the old lady and her niece Liu Zhangyu. This time it was because the original owner had snagged threads on the old lady's clothes with his split nails when he was washing clothes for her.
The old lady and Liu Zhangyu took this opportunity to attack the original owner. Not only was his face burned by the cup of tea, he was also punished to kneel for a night and was sick for three days and three nights.
It's not that the original owner hadn't thought about resisting, but the old lady's label of being unfilial would ruin her reputation.
The current emperor attaches great importance to filial piety. In addition, the original owner is the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue. If she loses her reputation, it will be difficult for the unmarried women in her family to find a good match in the future.
Sui Shu squatted beside the two of them, took out a hollow butterfly-shaped gold hairpin inlaid with gems from Liu Zhangyu's bun with one hand, turned the old lady over with the other hand, and then stabbed the gold hairpin into the back of her neck.
After finishing the tattoo, Sui Shu threw away the golden hairpin and went out.
Outside the door, a maid wearing a smoky blue double-breasted skirt and two buns on her head was standing outside the yard.
The maid tried to come in several times, but was stopped by two old women guarding the gate of the yard.
This maid was the original owner's personal maid who grew up with her, and her name was Caiwei.
Caiwei finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Sui Shu come out unharmed: "Madam, you are finally out."
Sui Shu's eyes were full of smiles. He nodded to Cai Wei, then said to the gatekeeper, "Go in and see your master. Don't let him die."
She doesn't care about this reputation, but as long as the original owner cares about it, she can maintain it.
The two guarding women turned around and went in, only to find that the two masters and a group of maids had all fallen to the ground. They hurriedly went to call for the court doctor.
This matter has become so big that it can no longer be concealed from the outside world, and that old bitch will not miss the opportunity to destroy her reputation.
Caiwei did not follow Sui Shu, but went straight outside the mansion, asked three gossipy doctors to come back, and also bought a live chicken.
The old lady was in a turmoil, while Sui Shu was quiet.
The original owner was in very poor health, but the court doctor was a doctor from the old lady's family. With the old lady in the family, how could he devote all his energy to diagnosing the original owner's pulse and treating her illness?
Seeing Sui Shu lying on the bed, Tie Zhu couldn't help but ask: [Host, are you going to wait for the male protagonist to come back? ]
Sui Shu's mouth twitched: [How can that be possible? If I wait another ten years, I'll be bored to death.]
Tiezhu scratched his bun head: [Then host, if you want to take the initiative, what are you going to do with the male supporting role? In the original plot, your male supporting role's big brother is one of the heroine's golden fingers.]
Sui Shu smiled and said, "Tiezhu, I didn't expect you to read the plot carefully."
Tiezhu's cheeks puffed out with anger: [Humph, the host is so annoying!]
Sui Shu touched his haggard face and sneered, "So what if he's the original owner's elder brother? He's still abused just the same."
After a cup of tea, all three doctors were invited over by Caiwei.
The original owner's body had suffered from sequelae because she did not rest well after the miscarriage. Coupled with the fatigue of the past ten years, it has caused irreversible damage.
After the three doctors took Sui Shu's pulse one by one, they looked at each other, their eyes full of burning gossip fire.
Sui Shu saw their thoughts from their eyes and just glanced at Caiwei.
Caiwei was quite clever and immediately asked the doctor, "Doctor Zhou, Doctor Wu, Doctor Wang, how is my wife doing?"
The three of them discussed in low voices for a few minutes, and Doctor Zhou said, "Madam, your health is weak. You need to take good care of yourself and not overwork yourself."
Doctor Wu also added, "Madam, you didn't rest well during your postpartum period, and you've already developed a chronic illness. You need to take a mild tonic to recuperate."
Sui Shu didn't say anything, but just nodded vaguely with a look of extreme illness.
Caiwei immediately gave the three doctors some silver and gave it away.
As soon as the doctor left, Sui Shu immediately became more energetic. After thinking for a while, he ran into the small kitchen, took out a kitchen knife and a bowl, and killed the chicken.
Caiwei thought Sui Shu was using it to replenish his body, and hurried to stop him: "Madam, how can you do such rough work? Let me do it."
"No, I can do it myself."
Sui Shu dodged sideways, and fresh chicken blood flowed into a bowl. She quickly plucked the feathers and cleaned it, then gutted the chicken and chopped it into small pieces.
Just then, someone came to the old lady's yard to ask Sui Shu to come in.
Sui Shu knew that the old lady would definitely cause trouble, and she would just cry to others about how unfilial and rebellious she was.
She could almost find all the stupid things the old lady had done in the original owner's memory. She especially liked to make things a big deal and punish the original owner from the moral high ground.
The original owner was overwhelmed by this, but what could she do? The old lady always liked to pressure her with filial piety.
Sui Shu picked up the chicken blood and took a big gulp, which frightened Caiwei so much that her heart trembled: "Madam, what are you doing? This is chicken blood!"
