Chapter 9: Baby's Angry
Xu only felt a bloody smell in her throat.
"Sister Xu, we are both respectable people. Our husbands are officials in the same court. Even if our marriage fails, we can't become enemies." There was a hint of sarcasm on Mrs. Jiang's face.
What is so noble about the Xu family?
My mother's family has collapsed.
The eldest son is disabled, the second son is a playboy, and the third son is illiterate and is a laughing stock in the capital.
The only little daughter seems to be disliked by the marquis.
Her descendants are not up to par, and all the noble families are laughing at her.
Xu heard the threat in her words.
Yes, Mrs. Jiang’s eldest daughter, Jiang Yunjin, is stunningly beautiful, and her son, Jiang Yunmo, passed the examination for a scholar at the age of thirteen and is about to take the provincial examination for a juren.
Xiao Chaochao was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Oh, she had no teeth, and her gums turned red from biting.
If she had teeth, she would definitely climb up and bite off a piece of her flesh, what a shameless person!
Her older brother is an eight-year-old scholar!
Back then, the Jiang family was trampled into the mud.
Xu waved her hand expressionlessly. Juexia's eyes turned red with anger and she came forward with a tray.
"Cancel the engagement."
"But it wasn't your Jiang family that broke off my engagement with Yanshu."
"It's Yanshu, who is going to withdraw from Jiang Yunjin's marriage!"
"My son Yanshu is worthy of the heavens and everyone. He sacrificed his life to save Jiang Yunjin, and my son has no regrets!"
"The Jiang family bullied my son and added insult to injury. They are not worthy of marrying Yanshu."
"My Lu family is going to cancel Jiang Yunjin's engagement!" Xu took the jade pendant in exchange and smashed it to pieces in front of everyone.
[Okay, okay, mother, you did a great job!] 】
[The Jiang family will be punished!] 】
Chaochao's short legs kept kicking, and Yingxue didn't hold him firmly, and he almost fell out of the cradle.
Yingxue was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat.
The broken jade pieces flew up from the ground and brushed directly against Mrs. Jiang's brow.
The broken jade brushed across her eyebrows, leaving a trace of blood.
Mrs. Jiang's heart was pounding, and she felt a sense of uneasiness rising in her heart.
"You!" She didn't expect that Xu, who had always been weak, would be so decisive.
But the Jiang family was in the wrong in this matter, and she didn't want her daughter to be branded as ungrateful. But more important than this is breaking off the engagement.
Only after breaking off the engagement will you have a choice.
"Please bring us the marriage certificate we signed back then." Mrs. Jiang's face turned pale.
The two tore up the marriage certificate in front of each other. Mrs. Jiang stood up and took back the Jiang family's token, looking a little arrogant.
"Xu Shiyun, you just have to take care of your disabled son. Lu Yanshu is not worthy of my Yunjin!" After Mrs. Jiang said this, she sneered and left the Xu family arrogantly with her people.
Xu was so angry that her eyes turned red and tears fell down.
She had already sent someone to inform Lu Yuanze about this matter.
At this moment, the servant came to report: "Madam, the Marquis said..." The servant's eyes rolled around, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.
"The Marquis said that since he saved Miss Jiang, he shouldn't ask for a reward. This is Yanshu's fate, and he can't blame others."
The servant finished speaking.
Xu spat out a mouthful of blood, and the maid was so scared that she turned pale.
Xu raised her hand to stop the maid and call for a doctor.
She seemed to be neither crying nor laughing.
[Humph, your scumbag dad is using my brother's future to gain his own reputation! Kill him with a chop. Why not kill him with a chop...?】
[I’m so mad, I’m so mad…]
Xiao Chaochao frowned, his smooth little face wrinkled into a ball, and his gums were bleeding from the friction.
Chop him, chop him!
Suddenly...
Outside, the clear sky was covered with dark clouds.
In a flash, the wind blew violently, the sand was so strong that people couldn't open their eyes, and the strong wind blew the fallen leaves up into the sky.
During the day.
A loud thunder exploded from the sky.
A sharp white light with a long tail streaked across the sky and headed straight towards a small courtyard in the capital.
Boom boom...
Xu was so frightened that she gathered her thoughts, and she felt as if a thunderbolt had struck as soon as her daughter's words "kill him" fell.
"Oh, madam, there is a fire in the north of the city. People outside are shouting that someone has been hit by lightning." The little maid outside screamed loudly.
Xu blinked her eyes and even forgot to cry.
She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and the depression that had been weighing on her heart was also dispersed by the lightning.
She paused and looked at the baby who was holding up his fist with an angry look on his face.
"Go and find out secretly whose house was struck by lightning." Xu always felt that the thunder was a little strange.
Just like...
Her daughter invited it.
Could it be that the evil creature was really struck by the lightning?
Juexia agreed immediately and told his servants to inquire as soon as he went out.
"The Jiang family is so ungrateful. The eldest son clearly saved Jiang Yunjin from falling into the water, but now she wants to cancel the engagement! If it weren't for the eldest son, she would have died long ago!"
"You are such an ungrateful bastard. You just want to take advantage of the Xu family's misfortune!"
Yingxue hugged Chaochao and cursed angrily.
Xu spat out a mouthful of blood, and the depression in her heart dissipated a little. Worry filled her brows: "People in the world are just pursuing profit." What she hated was Lu Yuanze's words. That was Yanshu's life!
"The young lady just woke up, why is she drowsy again?" Yingxue was a little surprised.
After Lu Chaochao was struck by the lightning, he felt so tired that he couldn't even open his eyelids.
He fell into a deep sleep immediately.
At night, Dengzhi returned home exhausted.
"Madam, everything has been arranged in prison. The old lady was a little frightened, and I sent her medicine. She is fine. The master asked you not to worry, he knows what is going on. Staying in prison for a few days may be a good thing for the Xu family."
"The old lady and the sisters-in-law were so happy that they cried when they heard that you sent someone to take care of it."
Xu's heart, which had been hanging high, slowly settled down and she felt guilty towards her natal family again.
She actually broke up with her natal family for Lu Yuanze and had no contact with them for more than ten years!
She thought to herself that after this matter was over, no matter whether Lu Yuanze was happy or not, she would go back to her parents' home.
Mrs. Xu, for once, had a good night's sleep.
And Lu Chaochao slept for a whole day and a night!
She slept from the evening till noon the next day.
The doctor came several times, and each time he spread his hands helplessly: "The little lady is fine, she just slept too deeply."
"But why doesn't she wake up? She usually wakes up once every two hours, but this time she slept for a whole day and night." Xu was so anxious that blisters appeared at the corners of her mouth.
"Maybe it's exhaustion, too tired?" the doctor said and slapped himself again.
How tired can a forty-day-old baby be?
I can’t walk or crawl. How did I get so tired that I fainted?
Xu was stunned, and thought of the thunder in broad daylight yesterday, and pursed her lips lightly.
[I’m so hungry… so hungry, so hungry, so hungry…] Xu heard the confused murmur in her ears again.
"Chao Chao is awake, come and bring some milk." The heavy stone in Xu's heart fell back to its original place. She guessed in her heart that the thunder yesterday might have consumed her daughter's physical strength.
I couldn't help but wonder if she had given birth to a little fairy.
Lu Chaochao yawned, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he drank the fragrant and sweet milk.
"Thank God, our little lady finally woke up. She slept so soundly that it seemed like she had died." Yingxue couldn't help but tease her.
Lu Chaochao cried in her heart, I'm fainting from hunger!
God knows that this spiritual energy consumes milk. Woohoo, I fainted from hunger on the spot.
Xu picked her up in her arms lovingly and kissed her on the cheek. Her sweet and soft daughter almost filled her entire heart.
Also saved...
She was in a lie.
"Madam, this thunder really struck someone." Juexia rushed into the door with a gossipy look on her face.
