Chapter 227: Injustice
When she heard Li Yuanxi's name, the old lady trembled slightly.
She looked sharply at the bald man.
The man was wearing a monk's robe, looking down at her with a faint smile on his face.
Slowly and methodically turning the Buddhist beads in his hand.
When the old lady saw this faint smile, she shuddered slightly.
“Mud…mud…”
"Ah, no, no, no..." The old lady screamed suddenly, her eyes were full of fear and she screamed at Pei.
Pei put the cup down heavily: "Can't you shut her up?"
"I don't know what's wrong with you again!" Pei's face was full of impatience.
However, the old lady would also pretend to wail and torment her on weekdays. Why are the screams so miserably today, as if you are extremely frightened?
Pei thought, maybe he had done too many bad things.
The old lady stepped back in fear, but she had already been paralyzed and could only move a little bit despite her best efforts.
There was a strong sense of resistance throughout his body.
The bald man picked her up and threw her into the cold water bath tub in the cubicle.
"Ah!!" the old lady screamed miserably.
The face turned purple in an instant.
He leaned over to the old lady's ear and whispered, "Yuanxi, Yuanze, does it sound familiar?"
The old lady's cloudy eyes were filled with tears.
She was in a trance, and she remembered the old marquis stroking Qiaoniang's belly and smiling, "This generation is the Yuan generation. The eldest son will be named Yuanze, and the illegitimate son you give birth to will be named Yuanxi. If it's a daughter... then she will be named..."
At that time, she stood at the door and saw the warm scene in the house, almost biting her teeth.
Yuanxi, he is Qiao Niang’s child!
Li Yuanxi casually swung her around in the water and then threw her back onto the bed.
The maid stood in front of the bed, feeling the biting coldness all over the old lady. She just pursed her lips and changed the old lady into clean clothes.
The old lady had tears in her eyes and she tightly grasped the maid's hand.
“Hou…”
"Hou..." She wanted to find Lu Yuanze.
The maid glanced at Pei and the bald man and said, "Old lady, please rest assured and take care of yourself. The master is very busy with official duties and I'm afraid he doesn't have time to serve you." The old lady whimpered and drooled all over her face.
She regrets it so much.
A good family was broken up by her.
She started coughing violently, her face turned red, and she could hardly breathe.
Pei pinched her handkerchief to cover her nose with disgust: "Take some cold medicine to boil it, it's bad luck to die on New Year's Day."
More importantly, I am worried.
If the old lady died and Lu Yuanze was in mourning, she would not be able to accept it.
"Do you want to call a doctor?" the maid asked in a low voice.
"Why call a doctor? She has bedsores all over her body and her flesh is rotten. If you call a doctor, he will bring it to the master..."
"You serve the old lady personally, but I'm afraid you can't save your life." Pei said with a smile.
The maid fell to her knees with a plop.
"Okay, just take some cold medicine." Pei's expression was indifferent.
"Open more windows in the room for ventilation. There is a rotten smell of flesh and decay."
If a person who has been paralyzed for a long time is not well taken care of, he will develop bedsores. If it is summer...
Rotten meat will also breed maggots.
The patient is in so much pain that he wants to live but cannot, and cannot die.
"Yes." The maid replied in a low voice.
Pei led the bald man out of the room. As she walked, she said, "Does she really think I'm Xu? Serving her day after day for ten years?"
As he was speaking, the maid came to report.
"Madam, the young lady is back."
Jiang Yunjin's face turned pale, with a hint of frustration and displeasure in his eyes.
Pei looked at her calmly. Jiang Yunjin stepped forward and bowed, "Mother."
"It's good that you're back. Jing Huai was young and ignorant, and he was deceived and harmed by someone. You are husband and wife, so you must take good care of him."
Jiang Yunjin tightly grasped the handkerchief: "Yes." She lowered her head, making it impossible to see her expression.
After Pei left, Jiang Yunjin's personal maid spoke indignantly.
"How shameless! How dare she say husband and wife are one?"
"It's almost spread all over the capital."
"It would have been great if the engagement hadn't been cancelled. People would say that Lu Yanshu would have won the top three places in the imperial examination this time. He would be a truly talented young man." The maid stomped her feet unwillingly.
A hint of regret flashed across Jiang Yunjin's eyes.
Mid-February.
There were crowds of people outside the Imperial Examination Hall, and Lu Chaochao and a few others were standing under a big banyan tree.
Lu Chaochao was wrapped in thick clothes and standing on tiptoe outside the Imperial Examination Hall.
"Is Big Brother out yet?"
"I can't see anything..." Lu Chaochao was angry and anxious, and only hated her short legs.
Even if you stand on tiptoe, you can only see everyone's buttocks.
Rong Che saw that she was furious, and hurriedly carried her on his head: "Hold Uncle Rong's head, be careful not to fall down."
“Wow, so high…” Lu Chaochao grabbed Rong Che’s hair excitedly.
Rong Che was very tall, and Lu Chaochao was so excited to sit on his neck.
"Why did you let Chaochao ride on your head..." Xu felt embarrassed.
"That's nothing. She has even ridden on the emperor's neck." Rong Che looked at Xu with a smile. There was only her in his eyes.
"Mom, mom, can you see it?" Lu Chaochao looked at her mother with concern.
Xu glanced at the crowded entrance and shook her head in disappointment.
Lu Chaochao's eyes lit up and she patted Rong Che's head: "Mom, do you want to come up? Squeeze in with Chaochao?"
As soon as the words fell.
Rong Che and Xu's cheeks flushed red.
When the two met each other's eyes, they suddenly looked away as if they were electrocuted. Xu's face was red as blood...
"Uncle Rong, can't you carry my mother?" Lu Chaochao asked seriously.
Rong Che stammered, not knowing how to explain, and only said, "I can...I think I can handle it."
"Mom, why is your face red?" The child spoke without restraint, making Xu's face flushed.
"It's a little hot. Yes, there are so many people here, and I feel a little hot." Xu raised her hand to fan herself, not daring to look at her daughter's big, sparkling eyes.
Lu Chaochao looked at her suspiciously.
Where can it be hot in the middle of winter?
[Adults are just weird. It’s so cold today, but it’s still hot? 】
Xu's sweat was dripping down.
"He's coming out, he's coming out. The young master is coming out!" The servant's face was squeezed out of shape, and he hurriedly helped the young master out.
The Spring Examination is divided into three sessions, each lasting three days.
The first session is on February 9th, the second session is on February 12th, and the third session is on February 15th.
If you are not physically fit, three exams will be enough to make you lose half your life.
Among them are some elderly people with gray hair.
The old man walked out of the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall tremblingly, his face pale.
He sat on the ground and burst into tears: "It's held once every three years, and I've taken the exam six times. Six times!! Eighteen years!" He even narrowly missed the chance to become a juren.
The children and grandchildren were all around to comfort him.
For an ordinary family to support a scholar, it would require the whole family's efforts.
Reading is not only for yourself, but also the expectation of the whole family.
Countless people want to change their family status through the imperial examination.
Outside the Imperial Examination Hall, some people were crying and some were laughing.
"That must be Lu Yanshu, right?" someone whispered.
Lu Yanshu's figure was as tall and straight as a pine tree, with a faint smile on his brows.
