Chapter 19 Isn't it enough to take care of her

"These days, her bedsores have been festering and festering, and she has suffered too much damage due to anger. There is no cure for her, and I'm afraid she won't last much longer."

Zhang was not surprised by the expected words.

Since Lu Yanxiu and Liu Qiuqiu left yesterday, Zhang couldn't sleep all night. She recalled the chaotic years of her life, which all started when she was sold to the Lu family as a child bride.

Liu was her mother-in-law, cunning and shrewd, and she made things difficult for her. When the Lu family was not yet rich, she was often bullied, and it was common for her to be hungry and cold.

But her husband, Lu Chengye, was a playboy who loved fireworks. He ignored her and despised her because of the things in his crotch.

The three children she gave birth to were all ordered by Liu.

Zhang still remembered that Lu Chengye stood by the bed, holding up his pants, and glanced at her with a dull look: "You are just a piece of wood!"

Lu Chengye wanted to take the brothel girls back home to be his concubines, but Zhang refused. While he was away, she tied up several brothel girls and sold them to human traffickers, and finally sent them to wealthy families as maids.

She didn't know that they were the girls that Lu Chengye spent all his family's wealth to buy back. During the quarrel between the two, Lu Chengye accidentally broke her legs, and she lost her freedom since then.

But until now, Zhang's parents, who were thousands of miles away in the town, still took it for granted that she was living a life of luxury.

"Mother, you look tired. Put on some rosy lip balm to look more energetic."

Su He changed Zhang into a light purple silk dress and combed her hair into her favorite heart-shaped bun. The rosy lip balm added a lot of color, and she didn't look like a sick person at all.

Zhang reached out to touch the tassels on the side of her bun. Her eyebrows were beautiful, her head was delicate, and she looked like an orchid. There was no one more beautiful than herself in the bronze mirror.

"In your heart, mother, will you blame your daughter-in-law?" Su He lowered her eyes.

It was said in the mansion that she was jealous of Liu Qiuqiu, so she wanted to marry Lu Yanxiu instead of taking care of her mother-in-law.

Zhang said, "I am Yanxiu's mother. He can't do what you do. How can I blame him?"

If it weren't for Su He, she would have died earlier and would never see her own life again.

"Yanxiu..." Zhang hesitated and turned the subject to the other two children, "Zhili and Yunqing are much younger. After I leave, please take care of them for the sake of our friendship." Lu Zhili and

Lu Yunqing are Zhang's second child and youngest daughter.

Hearing this, Su He felt that the divorce letter in her arms was hot.

Lu Yanxiu hadn't announced this matter completely, and Zhang still didn't know about it, so she asked her to take care of her younger brothers and sisters as a sister-in-law.

But...

wasn't Su He's care enough in the previous life?

When Lu Zhili was eighteen years old, he wanted to take the imperial examination and become an official. Lu Yanxiu had limited connections, and he could not find a better teacher to guide him, let alone the threshold to enter the Imperial College. It was Su He who went to her mother's house and asked her father to help him, and allowed Lu Zhili to be admitted to the Imperial College as an exception.

There were many young nobles in the Imperial College, and Lu Zhili, the younger brother of a fifth-rank official, was inevitably impolite in some places, and all the troubles he caused were rectified by Su He.

Not to mention that after passing the imperial examination, Su He arranged everything for him in the officialdom... It cost a lot of money and face!

Lu Yunqing wanted to deal with noble ladies, broaden her horizons, and marry a rich man. Su He took her to various activities in the capital. She tried her best to find the most expensive silks, the finest cosmetics, and even the items used by the empress in the palace for her to use.

When it came to the marriage proposal, she also actively searched for sons of wealthy families to help her marry into a wealthy family and realize her wish.

She did everything herself, just because Su He felt sorry for their father's death and their mother's disability. She wanted to set a good example as a sister-in-law and truly regarded them as her closest brothers and sisters!

How did the two repay her?

After Lu Yunqing married into a wealthy family as she wished, she turned away from Su He, but happily called Liu Qiuqiu a good sister-in-law. He even said nonsense in front of Su He, saying that he didn't want to call a woman who couldn't give birth to a child his sister-in-law, and even took the initiative to propose to Lu Yanxiu to divorce his wife!

Not long after Lu Zhili entered the court as an official, the Su family was framed by Lu Yanxiu for treason... Lu Zhili pleaded guilty to the emperor himself, and even had the audacity to make up a lie, saying that during the imperial examination that year, the Minister of Rites Su Ronghai sent someone to leak the test questions to him!

The emperor once asked, "Are you serious?"

Lu Zhili knelt on the golden palace and said sincerely, "Every word I said is true! It was because Su Ronghai sent someone to leak the questions that year that I did not participate in that imperial examination! I passed the exam three years later..."

"Why didn't you report it at that time?"

Lu Zhili's voice trembled, "Your Majesty, you don't know that my eldest sister-in-law is Su Ronghai's daughter. If I had reported it to the emperor at that time, I am afraid that my disabled mother and elderly grandmother...would not escape the frame-up of my eldest sister-in-law!"

This false testimony made the Su family worse and desperate.

Su He came to his senses while his thoughts were lingering.

He remembered that he hadn't seen Lu Zhili and Lu Yunqing for a few days.

Because Lu Zhili was studying in the Imperial College, he seldom went home on weekdays. As for Lu Yunqing... it seemed as if she was deliberately avoiding him.

That's right, Liu had known about Liu Qiuqiu's existence for a long time, and sent her a lot of good things after she gave birth. Lu Yunqing must have known all about it, and she didn't show up deliberately just because she was afraid of saying something wrong and putting her brother in trouble.

Now that I think about it, I am crying so hard, all for the wild dogs.

"Zhili and Yunqing have always been sensible and well-behaved, so I don't have to worry about them." Su He had too much dissatisfaction and resentment in his heart, but it was difficult to vent it in front of Zhang. When he mentioned the two of them, his tone was obviously different from before.

"I haven't seen the sun for a long time, push me out for a walk." Zhang said, she looked out the window, and there were birds flying over the clouds.

Su He pushed her into the yard. Lu Yanxiu and a group of maids were standing by. When they saw their mother dressed so brightly, their pupils narrowed slightly, and it was difficult to distinguish for a moment.

He turned to Su He and saw that she was pushing Zhang with mist in her eyes.

After going around the yard several times, Zhang finally couldn't muster up the energy anymore. She asked Su He to stop and leaned over to whisper a few words.

Lu Yanxiu squinted and watched, not knowing what the two were talking about.

"Mother!" Lu Yunqing arrived

late, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhang, who was dressed brightly in the wheelchair. Seeing her panting and yelling, Lu Yanxiu scolded her casually, "You are a rich lady after all. It's not good to be panting and yelling!"

Lu Yunqing lowered her eyes and said, "I heard that my mother..."

The maids all said that her virginity was coming to an end, and I was afraid...

Although she had no feelings for her mother, they were blood relatives after all. Lu Yunqing's mood was not sad, but she was always a little depressed.

Zhang and Su He finished talking. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Lu Yunqing, waving her hand to call her over.

Lu Yunqing could feel her mother's skinny palms touching her, and the shape of her bones was prominent, which was really scary.
