Chapter 268 Bedsores
Lu Yuanze walked into the backyard with a sullen face.
When he was caught in bed with Pei, he panicked and suffered a stroke. Later, I took countless medicines, but my health was not restored.
He slept in a separate room from Pei.
He hadn't stepped into Pei's room for a long time.
Fortunately, Pei was filial and often took care of the old lady for him.
Lu Yuanze returned to the main courtyard first, but it was empty: "Where is the madam?" he asked the maid who was cleaning the house.
"Madam has gone to Deshan Hall to take care of the old lady."
"My wife is filial and often rests in Deshan Hall."
Lu Yuanze's anger subsided a little. The old lady had a good relationship with Pei, and Pei did have some conscience.
Speaking of which, now that the old lady is paralyzed, her temper has changed drastically and she is extremely torturous. Even he couldn't stand it.
The old lady often cried day and night, making people feel uneasy.
He went to Deshan Hall again.
He walked to the gate of the courtyard and saw Pei's personal maid leaning against the wall and taking a nap. Lu Yuanze knew her. She had been with Pei for many years and was Pei's confidant.
As Lu Yuanze just walked to the door, she suddenly opened her eyes.
When the maid saw Lu Yuanze's figure, her breathing suddenly became heavy, but no sign of it could be seen on her face.
"Why is the master back? The old lady hasn't been sleeping well lately and makes a lot of noise at night. Madam is exhausted from trying to coax her and just put her to sleep." She smiled and pointed out that the old lady had just fallen asleep.
"It's okay, I'm here to see my mother." Lu Yuanze waved his hand.
"Then...then I will go and report it. So as not to scare the old lady." The maid said in a low voice.
"No need." Lu Yuanze was a little suspicious.
Today, he was stopped at the gate twice in a row.
I couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.
"You wait outside and don't come in. I'm going to see the old lady..." His eyes were slightly cold and he walked quickly inside.
The maid looked anxious, but Lu Yuanze didn't give her any chance to react.
Just let the personal servant cover her.
As soon as he entered the yard, Lu Yuanze realized something was wrong. Deshan Hall was too quiet, so quiet that it seemed as if there was no sound at all. Where are the maids and servants?
He walked lightly.
From the master bedroom where my mother lives, I could hear a faint hoarse cry. Was it the old lady?
Lu Yuanze gently pushed the door open and walked in. A strong stench came from the room, making him feel nauseous. It smells like rotting flesh.
And mixed with an indescribable taste.
"Wuwuwu..." The old lady lay on the bed, her eyes cloudy and she was almost blind.
My throat is hoarse and I can barely make a sound.
The originally plump old lady became skinny in just half a year, with only a layer of skin left on her face and hands.
Lu Yuanze was shocked when he saw this.
"Mother!" He hurried forward to help the old lady up, but as soon as he got close, a strong stench hit him in the face.
He paused.
But the old lady suddenly raised her hand and grabbed him, squeezing his wrist so hard that it hurt.
The old lady's expression was ferocious and terrifying, her lips were dry and chapped, and a strong light flashed in her eyes.
Turbid tears gushed out.
"Son...son...son..." She sobbed, but no matter how much she cried day and night, only a hint of sound could be heard.
"Mom, how did you become like this?" Lu Yuanze was shocked.
My mother was just skin and bones, and her skin was filled with a strong stench.
"Mom, please let your son go first. I'll bring you a glass of water..." Seeing that her lips were so dry that they were bleeding, Lu Yuanze couldn't help but comfort the old lady.
The old lady shook her head vigorously.
Her son.
Why don't you come to see her? !
She missed him day and night, but Lu Yuanze hadn't come to visit her for nearly two months! She was almost tortured to death by Pei!
"Mom, I won't leave. I just brought you a cup of tea, and your mouth is bleeding." Lu Yuanze persuaded the old lady to let go of his hand.
But the old lady looked at him with burning eyes, not daring to blink, for fear that he would leave.
Lu Yuanze walked to the table.
There wasn't even any hot water in the teapot. But the old lady wouldn't let him leave, so he had to pour a cup of herbal tea.
Normally the old lady never drinks herbal tea.
Although she comes from a farming family, she attaches great importance to rules.
Lu Yuanze handed the teacup to the old lady's mouth, and the old lady swallowed it madly.
"Cough... cough cough cough..." The old lady drank too quickly and started coughing.
"Mom, drink slowly. Be careful not to choke." But the old lady didn't listen at all. She drank it all in one gulp, but she was still looking at the cup.
Lu Yuanze had no choice but to pour another glass.
The old lady drank four cups in a row before she could barely slow down. She looked cherishing, tears kept falling from her cloudy eyes...
"Damn Pei, how did she take care of you!" Lu Yuanze gritted his teeth.
When the old lady heard Pei's name, she shuddered suddenly.
She shivered and huddled up in a ball: "Not big... not big... not big... I won't fight..."
Lu Yuanze's heart sank.
Old lady, have you ever been beaten?
He pinched the old lady's quilt, which was thin, cold, and seemed a little moist: "It's only March now, and the ice outside has just melted. It's cold now. Why is the quilt so thin... the quilt... is still wet?" Lu Yuanze couldn't help but feel a little angry.
"There's no silver charcoal lit in the house, and there's no maid to serve. Damn Pei!"
"She is nothing like Yunniang, who has to warm your bed herself in winter." Lu Yuanze couldn't help but sigh.
When the old lady heard Yunniang's name, she cried even more sadly.
She regretted so much, she regretted kicking Yunniang out of the house.
"Mom, we got it wrong. The abbot of Huguo Temple was referring to Chao Chao when he said "invaluable!" Lu Yuanze hated inwardly. He hated it so much that the wealth that was within his reach was thrown away by him.
Just thinking about it makes my blood boil and my throat starts to itch again.
Remembering what the doctor said, that he could no longer vomit blood, Lu Yuanze suppressed the fishy smell in his throat.
The old lady sobbed, it was all wrong, it was all wrong.
"Mom, let me change your bed quilt." Lu Yuanze wiped his tears. He used to have a very good reputation and was a well-known filial son.
But he is the one who outsources filial piety.
Mrs. Xu took care of his parents day and night, and took the trouble to personally attend to him when he was ill. He never worried about the old lady's health.
With Xu's care, the old lady's complexion became rosy and she even gained a few pounds.
He behaved in the same way after he married Pei.
Unfortunately, Pei was a black-hearted person, and the old lady committed a crime at her hands.
As soon as Lu Yuanze lifted a corner of the quilt, the stench became more and more obvious, and he almost vomited.
But when he lifted the quilt, he was shocked.
In order to make it easier to take care of her, Mrs. Pei didn't give her anything to wear, and the old lady was shivering from the cold.
There were countless ugly chilblains on his body, and...
Because the old lady was paralyzed and unable to move, her body was under pressure from lying down for so long that her skin began to erode.
Her legs, arms, and body were covered with rotten flesh.
There were even faint white maggots wriggling inside.
