Chapter 278: Life and Death
The old lady was twitching all over.
His hands and feet were shaking, his eyes were crooked, his mouth was tilted, and crystal saliva kept flowing out. Since she became paralyzed, she has been wailing and cursing every day, which has actually helped to improve her articulation.
He could even speak intermittently.
"Bitch...bitch!"
"Haha...bitch! Damn it!" She fell to the ground, and soon, a turbid yellow stain spread on the ground.
The maid frowned suddenly, and a look of disgust flashed across her eyes.
"Marquis...Muke...title!"
"Number one, number one..."
"The family will be wiped out, the descendants will be gone, and the grandchildren will be gone... wuwu... wuwuwu..." The old lady's tears fell in big drops. Her face was full of wrinkles and looked vicissitudes of life. There was an unstoppable stench on her body.
How did it become like this?
Born in the countryside, grew up in the mud, and relied on a man to become a marquis's wife. She relied on her son to become the old lady, and her daughter-in-law was the daughter of the most prominent family in the capital. Her eldest grandson was extremely talented. She clearly had the most perfect life.
But now, it's all ruined.
Whenever she had a headache or a fever, Yunniang would stay by her side all night with concern, and she was very kind-hearted.
But it fell into Pei's hands.
In order to stop myself from crying, I poured boiling water into my throat, but it hurt so much that I couldn't cry.
In order to avoid having to go to the toilet, he was only given one meal a day.
When she was in a bad mood, she would dismiss the maids and madly prick herself with silver needles. She felt pain and fear, but she was paralyzed and couldn't even hide.
“Yun…Yun…”
"I...Yunniang..." The old lady suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Phew.
Blood splattered everywhere.
"Mom!" Lu Yuanze was shocked and rushed forward and picked up the old lady.
But the old lady was incontinent, and Lu Yuanze couldn't help but frown.
The old lady was so angry that she vomited blood.
"Oh, I'm afraid the old lady is not feeling well. I'll go get a doctor." The maid jumped in shock when she saw the old lady's face turn pale and her eyes dull.
After a while, the maid came hurriedly with the doctor.
The house was filled with incense, but there was still a slight odor.
"Yun, Yunniang..." The old lady tightly grasped an old dress. That was the dress made for her personally when Yunniang came home.
After taking the old lady's pulse, the doctor carefully checked her condition, pondered for a moment, and glanced at Lu Yuanze.
Only then did Lu Yuanze follow the doctor out the door.
"Doctor, how is my mother?"
The doctor shook his head and said, "Master Lu, please accept my condolences. The old lady is so angry that she is probably not doing well. She is holding on with only one breath. She must be obsessed with something..."
The doctor's tone couldn't help but become heavier. He had never seen anyone take such poor care of a stroke patient.
"It's only been one year since the old lady suffered a stroke, but her bedsores are so severe. The flesh and blood on her body have rotted and decayed, and white maggots have grown in the rotten flesh. She is a living person! She has to endure the pain of ants gnawing every day. How do you take care of her?" The doctor looked at Lu Yuanze with an unfriendly look.
Lu Yuanze couldn't explain himself. He opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.
Once upon a time, he didn't have to take care of household chores at all.
Everything is handled by the Xu family.
He thought that Pei would do the same.
"Master Lu, please take care of yourself." After the doctor said this, he left with his medicine box on his back.
Lu Yuanze staggered, as if all his energy and spirit had been drained away.
He looked at the old lady who was lying on the hospital bed with her last breath, calling Yunniang softly. At this moment, his regret reached its peak.
He lifted the old lady's quilt and saw numerous fine needle holes beneath her aged skin.
“It… hurts…” the old lady murmured in a low voice.
"Yun, mother..."
"Yun... mother..."
"Grandson...my, grandson...wuuuu, the whole family will be extinct, wuuuu, the whole family will be extinct." She looked at Lu Yuanze expectantly, stammering, and vaguely called Yunniang and grandson.
As soon as Lu Yuanze opened his mouth, tears rolled down his cheeks.
"Mom, I'll go and invite her. I'll go and invite her, please wait a moment..." Lu Yuanze wiped his tears hurriedly.
"Bring some old mountain ginseng to keep the old lady alive." Lu Yuanze's eyes were red.
But the little maidservant looked at him in embarrassment: "Master, there is no old mountain ginseng in the house. But the young lady brought a lot of ginseng as a dowry..."
But Jiang Yunjin and Lu Jinghuai had a tense relationship and were unwilling to give out the ginseng.
Lu Yuanze's face was numb: "If she is willing to give me the old mountain ginseng, I will grant her a divorce certificate."
He went to great lengths to find a powerful wife for Lu Jinghuai. But I didn't expect that everything was just to prepare for the evil seed.
Jiang Yunjin wanted to leave, so of course he didn't stop her.
I will never help Lu Jinghuai.
There will not be any help left for Lu Yuanxi.
The maid paused and responded in a low voice.
Lu Yuanze caught an adulterer yesterday and drowned him in a pond today, and it happened to be the old lady's last moments. The clothes were already wrinkled and in a mess.
At this moment, he had no time to change his clothes, so he went to invite Xu Shiyun and the four children in person.
………………
Xu family.
"Madam, I heard that the old lady of the Pei family is dying."
"I just saw that they have already started preparing funeral clothes and supplies. I'm afraid they won't be able to survive tonight." Dengzhi heard the news from the doorman and hurried to report.
Although the lady didn't care, she still sent people to keep an eye on that place.
Afraid that they would cause trouble.
Xu frowned slightly.
"really?"
"I'm afraid it's true. It is said that after the old lady suffered a stroke, no one took care of her. Her body was covered with bedsores and her flesh turned to rot. She was also tortured by the Pei family. Now that she knows that Lu Yuanze has no family, I'm afraid she is so angry that she died." Dengzhi laughed secretly with glee.
Xu gave her a reproachful look, and Dengzhi stuck out her tongue: "I couldn't help it."
"You can laugh secretly, but don't laugh out loud in public. They are in the wrong in the first place, so we should avoid being blamed."
"I understand. I pinched my thighs until they were almost blue. I dared not laugh out loud."
Dengzhi glanced at the lady secretly.
"You're still talking about me, but you laugh louder than anyone else when you talk in your sleep."
Xu's pretty face turned red.
She appears to be virtuous on the outside, but she is a bit rebellious in her heart. Otherwise, she wouldn't have sneaked out and met Rong Che that year.
It’s a pity that I have my parents and brother to protect me at home.
Rong Che is there to protect him outside.
Having never seen the evils of the world, she fell in love as soon as she reached the age of 15 and was deceived by a scumbag.
On the day of her wedding, she dressed up in her best attire and rushed to face the sufferings of the world.
Xu sighed and changed into light-colored clothes. Dengzhi took off the gorgeous pearls and jade on her head and dressed quite simply.
"Let someone invite the young masters and Chao Chao to come over."
"Although she has been expelled from the family and removed from the family tree, I should still go and see her off as the old lady is dying. Just consider it as repaying the friendship between grandparents and grandchildren for so many years."
People in this world believe that death is the greatest thing.
Now they are in the right. If they really refuse, it will become evidence of public criticism.
Lu Chaochao was a little tired from watching the show today, and was picked up by Yushu in a daze.
The little curls on his head were slightly raised and he was rubbing his eyes sleepily.
"What's the matter, mother? My grandmother died. Would you like to invite us over for a banquet?" Lu Chaochao asked in confusion.
When she entered the room, she could only vaguely hear the old lady's words.
Xu's eyelids twitched: "She's not dead yet, she's not dead yet, don't talk nonsense." My God, you just sent her away!
Lu Chaochao said "oh".
He looked quite disappointed.
Xu sighed softly and said, "How about not bringing Chaochao along?"
She always felt that Chao Chao didn't seem to be holding back on anything good!
