Chapter 75 Shameless
When Li Yao heard that he had to kneel in his mother-in-law's room every day and be whipped, he immediately became unhappy. He turned his head with a pleading look and looked at Boss Song pitifully.
Her mother-in-law was so angry, and she didn't know how she would torture her. She didn't want to go.
"mother....."
"Just because you have a wife, are you going to ignore your mother?" Old Mrs. Song was completely furious.
Boss Song was in a dilemma. He closed his eyes and said cruelly, "Since mother wants this, then let it be. Let her kneel every day until mother calms down. Twenty lashes is a bit too heavy, so let's change it to... ten lashes."
Li Yao screamed, "Master..."
"Shut up!"
Boss Song shouted angrily.
There was a hurried sound of footsteps outside the house. Song Rouxi looked worried. She walked into the house and went straight to Li Yao to support her.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Li Yao held Song Rouxi's hand and cried as she recounted what had happened today, "It's all Ling'er's fault. She actually made such a big mistake without telling me. I feel guilty. But... I was kept in the dark after all. Your father and your grandmother are blaming me now..."
Song Rouxi looked aggrieved. "Grandma, Dad, Mom was also wronged. How can you blame Mom? Don't you know what kind of person Mom has been over the years? How dare she hurt others?"
Old Mrs. Song was furious. Her son was reluctant to part with his wife, and her beloved granddaughter was actually siding with Li Yao.
"Your grandmother only punished your mother by giving her ten lashes and making her kneel until she calmed down."
"Kneeling as punishment? Ten lashes?" Song Rouxi exclaimed, "Mother is weak and has a proud heart. Not only was she beaten, but she was also forced to kneel. How could she bear it...Grandmother?"
Old Lady Song was about to curse, but when she met the pleading eyes of her beloved granddaughter, she swallowed the curse back. The most important thing was that this granddaughter might have great fortune in the future.
The prince likes her. If she becomes the crown princess, Li Yao will be the prince's mother-in-law...
She was also a little nervous.
Everyone in the room has their own thoughts, but Song Ci doesn't care.
She said in a cold voice, "Grandma, Uncle, have you forgotten that my mother was wrongly accused just now?"
This sentence was like pouring cold water on everyone present. Old Lady Song was so angry that her nose was crooked. "She was wrongly accused. I didn't hit her, and I didn't lose a piece of flesh."
Boss Song also said, "Song Ci, we are all family. I didn't understand the situation clearly just now and wrongly blamed your mother. But this matter has passed. It's all Ling'er's fault. Uncle will sell her out to vent your anger."
Ling'er, who was kneeling on the side, trembled a little but remained silent.
Song Ci sneered: "I forgot, uncle is old now, maybe his memory is not good."
"You ungrateful bastard, how dare you talk to your uncle like that!" Old Lady Song said, "You uneducated thing."
Old Mrs. Song coughed violently, her face flushed, but she continued to curse.
Boss Song frowned, knowing that Song Ci was not going to give up.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Uncle, you forgot what you said just now? You believed that my mother did it and wanted to beat her and kill her. You even threatened that my father would divorce her. You haven't forgotten, have you?..."
As she spoke, she looked in Li Yao's direction.
"How can this be the same?"
Song Ci raised her eyebrows, her tone gradually colder, "Why is it different?"
Boss Song was about to say, "Your mother can't be compared to Li Yao. Merchants are born lowly." But after thinking it over, he didn't say anything. His tone gradually became impatient. "What do you want? How can a girl be so aggressive? You don't know the principle of forgiving others when you can."
"Third sister, how can you say that? We are all family, you shouldn't be so fussy... Besides, hasn't Ling'er been dealt with? What else do you want?" Song Rouxi looked so distressed that Song Ci wanted to vomit.
What a hypocritical white lotus.
Even dealing with Ling'er seemed like a blessing.
shameless.
Song Ci ignored her. She knew that the one who had the final say here was Uncle Song.
"I don't ask for much. My mother was wronged and suffered. She deserves compensation."
"You little bitch, what compensation do you want? I think you are just taking the opportunity to ask for exorbitant amounts of money." When she heard about compensation, the most excited person was Old Lady Song.
She controls the Song family's money. Asking her to take the money is like asking for her life.
But today Song Ci just wanted to touch her vitals.
"Sir, could you please help me take my mother's pulse?"
The old man glanced at Song Ci and instantly understood what she meant. He could have chosen not to do so, but when he thought of the girl's courage, carefulness, boldness, and filial piety. Most importantly, her ability to identify medicinal herbs, he immediately felt that it was a good idea to do so.
Just do one good deed that day.
He had just seen the faces of this family clearly, and it was truly disgusting.
"Okay, I'll check on your mother."
Everyone in the room frowned, not understanding what Song Ci was up to, and just watched quietly.
Qiao Xianglan received her daughter's look and felt puzzled, but she still extended her hand.
The old man took the patient's pulse briefly and frowned.
There was an unknown fire burning in my heart.
He had a hot temper since childhood and could not tolerate any injustice. He thought it was just an act, but after taking her pulse he realized that the woman was indeed in poor health.
Taking the pulse again, it's more than just bad!
He had treated so many people, even women from poor families, none of whom had as serious health problems as Qiao Xianglan. This showed how this family treated people.
Seeing his expression, Song Ci felt a little impatient, "Sir, how is my mother?"
She originally just wanted to put on a show and extort some money from them, but she didn't expect that this gentleman seemed to have really seen through something.
The old man snorted coldly, thought for a moment, and said, "I see your family is well off, but why is your mother in such a bad condition? She's been weak for years, and more importantly, I just checked her pulse and found that she must have suffered some damage during her confinement period."
Qiao Xianglan thought this doctor was truly amazing.
I know all this.
She had just given birth to her son, Song Lan, and was then called to take care of Li Yao, who was about to give birth. She didn't even have the confinement period.
At that time, the Song family was still in the village. It was winter and Old Mrs. Song was unwilling to work, so she asked her to go to the river to wash the clothes that Li Yao had soiled.
The icy river water froze my hands so much that they hurt even between my bones.
"Didn't she take good care of herself after the confinement period? Does she want me to take care of her? Why does she treat a small thing so seriously... It's simply nonsense." Old Mrs. Song couldn't help but mutter.
She seemed to have forgotten who discovered the problem with her poisoning just now.
"Sir... I didn't take a confinement period after giving birth. My sister-in-law is about to give birth, so I have to help. During the confinement period, I have to help wash her clothes, cook and clean the house... Is there something wrong with my health? If you have something to say, just say it."
