I've never seen such a useless man. All these years, he's wasted his education, which is why he disregards human ethics!
At this moment, Qi Mingyu was unaware of what was happening outside.
He couldn't get out of bed, but his life had been a little better than before these past few days while Xue Mengyu was away.
At least, at least we can have enough to eat.
His mother would also have someone help him wash his body every night.
He didn't know why it was so lively outside, nor why it suddenly became quiet after a long time.
He waited until dark, but it was still quiet outside.
He, who had been pretending to sleep with his eyes closed, finally couldn't help but shout:
"Mom, are you home?"
However, after he shouted, no one responded for a long time.
After thinking for a while, he called out again, "Mom, are you home?"
There was still no response.
He immediately frowned and raised his voice.
"Is anyone home? Someone come quick!"
But no matter how much he called, no one appeared.
That night, no one changed Qi Mingyu's clothes, no one washed his body, and no one gave him water or food.
The next day, there was some commotion at home; judging from the footsteps, quite a few people had come.
But after a short while, they left again.
He tried to call for help, but he was so hungry and thirsty that his voice was barely loud enough that no one heard him.
On the third day, he truly felt that he was going to die, not from starvation, but from thirst.
Just as all the past events were rapidly flashing through his mind like a mysterious book, Qi Maosheng arrived.
The room had a pungent, nauseating smell.
He stood at the door for a while, then covered his nose with his hand before going inside.
Seeing Qi Mingyu lying there like a dead man, he felt a strange sense of relief.
It's better that they're dead, so the princess won't take her anger out on the Qi family.
Fortunately, his grandfather was kind to everyone when he was alive.
I did nothing to offend the princess.
Even when she wanted a divorce, she insisted that Qi Mingyu compensate her for her dowry and return the money for raising the child.
They should be able to stop worrying once Qi Mingyu is dead, right?
Thinking this, just as he turned around to go out and call for help to collect the body, Qi Mingyu slowly turned his head back.
"Flourishing, so lush!"
Qi Maosheng was startled when the man, whom he thought was dead, suddenly spoke up.
He quickly turned his head to look at the person on the bed.
Seeing that Qi Mingyu was on his last breath, he hesitated for a moment, then took two steps forward as the new patriarch of the Qi clan.
"water!"
Despite living a life worse than death, Qi Mingyu still wanted to live.
He was dying of thirst; his throat was so dry it felt like it was on fire.
Seeing this, Qi Maosheng hurriedly went out and scooped in a large ladle of water.
The untreated smell in the room was truly pungent.
He suppressed the urge to vomit, stepped forward to help the man up, and then handed him the water ladle.
Qi Mingyu felt like a dying seedling that had been revived after being watered.
Despite his weakness, he seemed to be in much better spirits than before.
"Maosheng, thank you for coming to see me at this time."
If he could, Qi Maosheng wouldn't want to come either.
Seeing the man who was once the hope of the whole village in this state, he couldn't help but feel emotional.
Now that Shen has been arrested and Xue Mengyu is dead.
This family only has this one useless person left, and the clan doesn't want to take care of him; they just want him to die quickly.
