Chapter 88 Half Life
“Mother, mother…”
"Mom, it's time to get up and take medicine."
Before daybreak, Xu started shouting outside the door like an evil spirit.
The old lady is very old and would wake up at the slightest noise.
At this moment, the wind outside the window was whistling, mixed with faint shouting, which frightened the old lady.
"Madam, are you okay?" the nanny asked outside the curtain.
The old lady looked angry and a little embarrassed.
"Why don't you bring me a pair of pants? What are you doing standing outside?"
The nanny was startled and frowned slightly.
The old lady has suffered from urinary incontinence several times in recent months.
She hurriedly brought clean underwear to the old lady, not daring to look at her expression.
"Hurry up and support me, my body is numb." The old lady felt like she was not awake yet and her head was dizzy.
Madam's heart skipped a beat: "Old lady?"
The old lady seemed to be suffering from numbness from time to time.
The old lady slapped her in the face and said, "What? Do you think I'm dirty and smelly? You, a lowly servant, are unworthy of despising your master! You've been a slave all your life!" She wet her pants and was feeling very embarrassed.
Then I saw the shocked look in Madam's eyes.
The nanny pursed her lips, lowered her head and stopped talking.
Only the slap mark on the face was extremely obvious.
"It's not even daybreak yet, what are you shouting outside?" The old lady looked up at the sky. The roosters hadn't even crowed yet! !
Mrs. Xu said softly, "Mom, the doctor said that you must take medicine on time."
"Since the daughter-in-law is personally attending to the patient, she will naturally follow the doctor's advice on everything."
The old lady's heart choked.
"Come in."
Xu came into the room with a bowl of medicine in her hand.
"Mom, I've never cooked before, I hope you won't despise me."
The old lady took a quick glance at the Chinese medicine. She couldn't make out anything because it was pitch black. She just felt that it smelled worse than usual.
She took the bowl and almost vomited after taking just one mouthful.
"What's that strange smell?" The old lady looked at her in shock.
Xu blushed in embarrassment: "Mother, my daughter-in-law got up at midnight to boil the medicine. She didn't sleep all night and took a nap in front of the stove. The medicine is a little mushy."
"But don't worry, mother, it won't affect the efficacy of the medicine."
The old lady was furious, but it was clearly she who asked Xu to take care of her, so she had to swallow the food while suppressing her nausea.
After drinking it, I almost felt like vomiting.
The old lady wanted to tease her, so she just said calmly: "In the morning, I want to eat the breakfast you made yourself."
Xu pursed her lips and said, "Yes, mother."
After drinking it, the old lady lay down again, but the disgusting medicine was swirling in her stomach, making her feel very uncomfortable.
I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
Finally, I closed my eyes at dawn.
"mother……"
"Mom, it's time to get up and eat. Your daughter-in-law prepared breakfast herself, please get up and eat..."
The old lady's eyelids were twitching and her fists were clenched! !
The nanny couldn't help but feel frightened when she saw her hands and feet trembling slightly.
Originally, she should have stepped forward to comfort the old lady, but when she thought of the old lady's curse last night, she silently looked away.
"Old lady, get up and have dinner."
The old lady felt a heavy breath on her chest and couldn't breathe.
"Serve the food." He spoke weakly.
One could see the fatigue between Xu's brows, but there was a smile on her face.
"Mother, I haven't cooked for a long time. I hope you won't despise my kindness." Xu asked someone to serve the food.
"Yesterday my mother said she wanted to drink mushroom chicken soup. This is the mushrooms sent by the farm this morning. My daughter-in-law stayed up all night and simmered it for an hour."
"It's so delicious, my daughter-in-law couldn't bear to eat a single bite."
Xu personally filled a bowl for her.
The old lady took a bite and found it delicious. She sat down while Mrs. Xu stood.
This is something that only mean people would do if they want to torment their daughter-in-law.
The old lady had a good appetite and drank a bowl of mushroom soup and had some snacks.
The old lady's brows lightened up.
At the beginning, outsiders all said that his son was marrying up to the Xu family. Humph, so what?
Mrs. Xu loved her son terribly, and whatever she said was obeyed by Mrs. Xu as if it were an imperial decree.
At this moment, seeing the high and mighty eldest daughter of the Xu family, now the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion, serving her respectfully, the old lady felt extremely happy.
Suddenly...
She raised her hands to cover her stomach, her face distorted.
"What's wrong, mother?" Xu asked suddenly.
The old lady's face was as pale as paper. "What's wrong? My stomach hurts..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he farted.
A strange smell suddenly appeared in the house.
"Ugh..." Lu Chaochao leaned on the doorstep and immediately vomited out all the milk.
"Grandma, grandma's pants are pooping..." Lu Chaochao said, directly lifting the old lady's fig leaf.
The old lady felt ashamed and angry, and her whole body felt numb, as if she was being bitten by ants.
When I felt it carefully again, it was gone.
puff……
She farted again.
My stomach began to ache violently, as if a pair of large hands were stirring inside my stomach.
"Ah!" The old lady collapsed to the ground immediately.
"Hurry, hurry and call a doctor." Xu panicked and shouted hurriedly.
"The court physician is on rest today, please send her to the clinic quickly." The imperial physician was too slow, so everyone hurriedly carried the old lady out.
The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was in a panic, and outsiders all looked confused.
Lu Chaochao stood at the gate and shouted, "Grandma, pull up your pants..."
"Grandma, shame on you..." I heard children talking outside.
The old lady in the carriage fainted from anger.
It was not until the doctor gave her acupuncture that the old lady slowly woke up.
"The old lady has food poisoning. I heard that she had wild delicacies this morning. I'm afraid it's the wild delicacies that have poisoned her."
"Use some decoctions to induce vomiting and diarrhea, and then the poison will be vomited out and the problem will be solved."
"It's just that the old lady has a bad temper. You should always control your temper and be careful in your heart..." Feng hadn't finished his words yet.
When the old lady heard this, she sat up immediately.
"Xu, you are such a conscienceless person, may the heavens strike you down."
"How dare you harm my mother-in-law? You poisoned me!!" The old lady's words were earth-shattering.
If a daughter-in-law poisons her mother-in-law, it would be fatal.
When Xu heard this, her eyes immediately turned red.
"Mom, how can you slander Yunniang like this." She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and everyone saw that her hand was red and swollen.
"Mother said she was not feeling well and wanted her daughter-in-law to take care of her. You said the medicine should be boiled for a long time for better efficacy. My daughter-in-law got up and boiled the medicine and stayed up all night."
"After drinking the medicine, you said you wanted to eat the breakfast made by your daughter-in-law. Your daughter-in-law comes from a famous family. Although she has never cooked before, she still learned to cook."
"The mushrooms were sent by your relatives from your mother's side. I just helped put them in the pot. I have been busy since last night and have never even squinted my eyes."
"Mother, how can you slander Yunniang?"
"Yunniang has been married to me for eighteen years and has always treated you as her own mother. How could you slander me like this?" Xu wiped her tears gently.
Dengzhi, with red eyes, chimed in: "Madam's hands were burned."
When everyone heard this, they thought, hey, for these rich and powerful people, taking care of the sick is just a formality.
How could one let the daughter-in-law who is the mistress of the house serve him personally?
Unless it's intentional.
I also thought of the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, who broke up with her parents in order to marry her lover. She was truly a love-brained woman.
How dare she harm the old lady?
Everyone shook their heads, whispered to each other, and looked at the old lady with accusatory eyes.
The old lady felt the contemptuous looks of everyone.
Angry enough to turn red in the face.
