Chapter 379 379 Putting the Blame on Someone



His robes were stained with blood, and he looked like a mad beggar, which made people feel disgusted when they saw him.

Chu Lingxiao wanted to get up and walk out of the study to call for help, but his body was completely out of control and his limbs felt so heavy that he couldn't stand up or even crawl to the study door.

He begged Aunt Jiang desperately: "Please, help me call the doctor, I will marry you!"

"I will pass the title to Brother Yi, believe me..."

"Minshan, just think of our relationship over the years..."

“…”

Chu Lingxiao finally tried to appeal to her emotions, but Aunt Jiang was not moved at all. Instead, she looked very happy and enjoyed Chu Lingxiao's pain at the moment.

Aunt Jiang said word by word: "My whole life has been ruined by you."

She couldn't let Chu Yunyi's life be ruined by Chu Lingxiao again.

Her Yi Ge'er is like porcelain and cannot be bumped or scratched.

Aunt Jiang's heart was as firm as a rock. She stood there quietly, looking at Chu Lingxiao who was in great pain. Her eyes were as dark as ink, hiding a hint of madness.

She just kept looking at him, looking, looking...

Time passed slowly amid Chu Lingxiao's painful groans.

She watched without avoiding the view as Chu Lingxiao's struggles became weaker and weaker. After he vomited another mouthful of blood, he collapsed on the spot without moving.

It was very quiet.

one two three……

Aunt Jiang counted silently in her heart, and when she counted to "ten", two lines of crystal tears suddenly welled up in her dark eyes, and the tears slid down her cheeks. She cried so pitifully.

"ah--"

A scream so sharp that it seemed to blow the roof off came from her throat, so shrill and so terrifying.

"Cousin, what's wrong with you?"

"Wake up!"

"Ling Xiao...blood, all blood!"

Aunt Jiang screamed heart-wrenchingly, her voice becoming increasingly shrill.

Soon, the door curtain was lifted up from the outside, and then the servant and the maid who heard the noise rushed in one after another.

They saw Chu Lingxiao lying on the ground motionless, and they all gasped.

Aunt Jiang knelt on the ground with a pale face, sobbing and sobbing, her body trembling like a delicate flower swaying in the wind and rain, as if she would faint at any time.

Although the servant didn't know what had happened here, he could see that Chu Lingxiao had vomited so much blood, and the situation must be bad.

"Quick, get someone to call a doctor!"

"Also, go to Rongfu Hall to inform the Madam!"

“…”

There was a commotion and confusion in the outer study.

Soon, another maid helped up Aunt Jiang, who was kneeling on the ground crying uncontrollably.

Amid the commotion, the lady came in breathlessly, her face pale. When she saw Chu Lingxiao lying on the ground, she could hardly believe her eyes.

She only had two biological sons. If the second one died, what if the eldest one...

The lady didn't dare to think further. She felt as if her heart was hollowed out. A surge of blood rushed to her forehead and she felt dizzy from time to time.

Her legs went weak and she fell backwards, almost fainting. Fortunately, Nanny Wang held her up.

Nanny Wang hurriedly helped the Madam to calm down. At this time, the servant said timidly, "Madam, the master seems to be still breathing..."

“…”

“…”

“…”

Aunt Jiang, who was sitting next to her and wiping her tears with a handkerchief, trembled, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes. Then, she grabbed the arm of the head maid and said in a trembling voice: "Doctor... Is the doctor here? Go and urge him!"

Aunt Jiang's eyes flashed with annoyance. When she saw Chu Lingxiao vomiting so much blood, she thought he was dead...

Upon hearing that her eldest son was still breathing, the lady managed to recover, her breathing still disordered, and hurriedly said, "Quick, go and get my old ginseng!"

So, the lady's maid hurriedly took the order and took out a 200-year-old ginseng that was treasured by the lady as quickly as possible, cut two slices of ginseng, and fed it to Chu Lingxiao's mouth.

Chu Lingxiao had been carried to the couch. He did not wake up from beginning to end and allowed the servants and maids to manipulate him. When the ginseng slices were squeezed into his mouth, black blood flowed out of his mouth, which made the lady's heart skip a beat.

The room was filled with a strong smell of blood.

While waiting, the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The lady tightly grasped the rosewood beads in her hand, her heart felt as if it was being stabbed by a knife repeatedly. She prayed in her heart that her late husband's spirit in heaven would bless her eldest son.

Aunt Jiang came over with the help of the head maid, her eyes full of tears, sobbing and advising the lady, "Aunt, you have a heart disease, you can't be provoked, and you can't get angry... You have to take care of yourself, the family still needs you to take charge of the overall situation."

"I'll send someone to call Brother Yi back..."

Aunt Jiang's expression was extremely sad and mournful, and her voice was trembling.

When the lady heard Chu Yunyi's name, she relaxed a little. Yes, even if something happened to her eldest son, she still had her eldest grandson.

The lady's limbs were cold and her eyes were red. She was still in shock and asked in a difficult voice, "Minshan, what happened? Why did Lingxiao vomit blood and faint?"

Aunt Jiang's tears began to flow again, like pearls that had broken off the string, and I felt pity for her when I saw her crying.

"I...I don't know." She stammered, her eyes wandering.

The lady frowned deeply, thinking that Aunt Jiang was obviously hiding something, and raised her voice sternly: "Minshan, Ling Xiaodu looks half dead, what are you hiding?!"

When she had a stern face, she exuded the aura of an old nobleman from a marquisate, and she was intimidating without even getting angry.

Aunt Jiang bit her lower lip slightly, looked at the lady with a pair of watery eyes, and said in tears: "My cousin went to my sister's place early in the morning. It seems that they parted on bad terms. After he came back, he lost his temper and smashed a lot of things."

"I tried to persuade him when I came, and then he said he had some abdominal pain. I wanted to call a doctor for my cousin, but he said he might have eaten something raw or cold, and that drinking some hot water would be fine. But after he drank the tea, he soon complained of a headache and chest tightness, rolled on the ground, and vomited blood..."

She didn't say a word that Shen Zhi harmed Chu Lingxiao, but every word she said led people to think in this direction.

As she wished, the old lady immediately thought of Shen Zhi and frowned, wondering if Chu Lingxiao had eaten something unclean from Shen Zhi, and she felt a chill in her heart.

The lady had always had complicated feelings towards her daughter-in-law Shen Zhi.

When the secret of Shen Qianchen and Chu Qianhuang being swapped was revealed, the old lady also felt guilty towards Shen Zhi, but this guilt had long disappeared when Shen Zhi repeatedly acted unyieldingly, especially when Shen Zhi insisted on divorcing her eldest son and took away a son and a daughter. She showed no regard for Chu Qianhuang, whom she had raised with her own hands, and had no regard for mother-daughter love at all.

Shen Zhi was an unfilial daughter-in-law, an unvirtuous wife, and an unkind mother, which made the old lady feel very uncomfortable. But Shen Zhi was Mu Ge'er's biological mother after all, so the old lady had been enduring it and had always hoped that her eldest son and she could reconcile. As a result, Shen Zhi turned out to be ruthless the next time and intended to poison the eldest son.

Thinking of this, the lady felt as if her heart was being crushed by something heavy, and the pain made her unable to breathe.

She leaned most of her body against the back of the chair, breathing heavily, and a sentence kept echoing in her mind -

It was Shen Zhi who did it.

It must be Shen Zhi who poisoned the eldest son, which is why he vomited blood!

It was Shen Zhi who wanted her eldest son to die!

Yes, the eldest son has never had any grudges against anyone, who else could it be except Shen Zhi? !

"Shen Zhi, it must be her. She has such a cruel heart." The lady muttered to herself.

At this moment, the lady regretted it too late.

It was she who suggested that the eldest son bring Shen Zhi back to the Marquis's Mansion, so the eldest son ran to find Shen Zhi eagerly, and was harmed by Shen Zhi, this vicious woman! An endless power suddenly surged in the heart of the lady.

She suddenly stood up from her chair, like an angry lioness, and said angrily: "I'm going to settle accounts with Shen Zhi!"

The lady wanted to rush out of the house, but was stopped by Aunt Jiang who was quick-witted.

"Aunt, you can't go!" Aunt Jiang almost cried like a tearful person, tears streaming down her face. "If you go, the Duke's Mansion will not let you go."

"The Duke's Mansion is extremely powerful now, and the arm cannot bend the thigh..."

Aunt Jiang's meaning was very clear. Now that the Duke's Mansion was in power, if the Dowager went to seek revenge on Shen Zhi, the Duke's Mansion would certainly help Shen Zhi deal with the Dowager. By then, not only would the Dowager be unable to avenge Chu Lingxiao, but she herself would also be in trouble.

Aunt Jiang spoke with true feelings, her eyes were so sincere, and her tone was so earnest, as if she was considering the lady in everything.

Madam: “…”

The lady hesitated, but had to admit that what Aunt Jiang said made sense.

Just for the sake of Shen's daughter's reputation, Duke Mu's Mansion will help Shen Zhi cover up this matter.

Although she understood it, the lady was still unwilling to accept it. Her heart was filled with sadness and indignation, and tears flowed down her face.

Aunt Jiang clenched the handkerchief in her hand, her eyes flickering with darkness, and she said, "Aunt, now is the most important thing to do, we should find a doctor to treat my cousin."

At this moment, for the bewildered old lady, Aunt Jiang was like her backbone. The old lady quickly responded: "Minshan, you are right, we need to invite more famous doctors!"

Aunt Jiang took the lady's hand, helped her sit down, and said seriously, "Aunt, don't worry, I will stay here to watch over my cousin and take care of him."

"My cousin, you are a lucky person. Everything will be fine."

Hearing Aunt Jiang's comforting voice, the lady was touched and felt that her niece was the best. People like Shen Zhi and Liu were all heartless and ungrateful. They had no regard for the Chu family at all and did not respect her as the mother-in-law.

If the eldest son could escape death this time, the lady would not think of anything else and would think about letting the eldest son make Jiang Minshan his principal wife.

Aunt Jiang asked someone to pour some water for the lady, and then asked someone to see if the doctor had arrived.

After repeated urging, an old doctor in his sixties arrived breathlessly, and hurriedly followed the servant to see Chu Lingxiao lying on the couch.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Chu Lingxiao and the old doctor, and they were all extremely anxious.

The air is heavy.

I don't know how long it took, but someone shouted, "The master is awake!"

"Madam, the master is awake!!"

Upon hearing this, the Madam Dowager and Aunt Jiang's expressions changed and they quickly walked towards the couch.

Chu Lingxiao, who was lying on the couch, had his eyelids trembling slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes amidst everyone's calls. His eyes were hazy, and when his gaze fell on Aunt Jiang's face, his pupils were burning with surging anger.

"ah……"

He opened his mouth with great effort, but it was out of control and tilted to one side, with his facial features distorted.

He tried to speak, but the sounds that came out were just ah ah wu wu.

The old lady looked extremely unhappy, and she asked the old doctor worriedly, "Doctor Zhao, how is my son?" In less than half an hour, the wrinkles on the old lady's face suddenly deepened several inches, and her back became hunched.

Doctor Zhao frowned, sweating profusely, and said in a deep voice: "Madam Chu, your son suffered a stroke due to extreme anger. Now he is still alive, but I am afraid he is in danger of death."

Doctor Zhao spoke more tactfully. In his opinion, Chu Lingxiao was too ill, and waking up did not mean he would survive. But of course he could not say anything categorical in front of the family.

The old lady also understood the doctor's hidden meaning and almost lost her breath. Her eyes went dark and she had only one thought in her mind: So the eldest son had a stroke, not poison? ! Doctor Zhao gave the old lady two injections on the spot. Only then did the old lady recover. A layer of mist appeared in her eyes, and she was sad and heartbroken.

Shen Zhi was really cold-hearted. What on earth did she do to her eldest son to make him so angry? Even if she didn't want to return to the Chu family, there was no need to force him to death!

The lady hated Shen Zhi to the core and asked in a trembling voice, "Old Doctor Zhao, you must save him! Even if it's just a glimmer of hope..."

Doctor Zhao bowed and said, "I will prescribe a prescription for him. He should take it three times a day. After that, it depends on his own will..."

"Even if he can be saved this time, his health will be much worse than before. I'm afraid he will have to stay in bed for a long time. We will have to wait and see to what extent he can recover."

Doctor Zhao's treatment plan is actually to try every possible means to save the patient, and all his words are not final.

The lady wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said politely, "Please trouble the doctor to prescribe a prescription."

Old Doctor Zhao responded quickly, and then Nanny Wang stuffed a red envelope into his pocket, and he followed the head maid out to write a prescription.

The lady's heart was in great confusion, and her head was buzzing as if countless bees were swarming around in it.

“Ah… well…”

Chu Lingxiao on the couch was still trying hard to make a sound, but to no avail.

This scene made Madam Tai even more uncomfortable. She couldn't help but think of the time when her second son Chu Lingyu was first beaten and paralyzed, then hit his head, and finally couldn't hold on...
