Huang Wanzhen tried to persuade her for a long time, even bringing up Old Master Huang, but she still couldn't change Mrs. Huang's determination.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, how stubborn! I've never seen such a stubborn person.
At this time, neither of them had thought that without them, something really would happen to the Huang family.
"Oh no, Madam, you should go back quickly. Something has happened, something big has happened." Xiuzhu found Mrs. Huang in a panic.
Without waiting for Mrs. Huang to ask, she knelt down in fear.
Mrs. Huang seemed to sense something, and she couldn't catch her breath and collapsed.
"Mother, mother..."
"Doctor, call a doctor."
After a chaotic battle, when they returned to the Huang Mansion, Huang Zhengming had already passed away.
"Beat him, beat him hard, beat this evil guy to death." Huang Dongshi, who was sitting at the top, said with a ferocious look on her face.
Huang Zhong stood aside, staring at Shusheng and Guizi, raised the board high, and brought it down heavily on the second concubine.
"Ah, no, it's unfair."
Huang Dongshi: "You still dare to cry out for justice? You killed the master, you are an unforgivable sin. You will be sent to the eighteenth level of hell after you die."
"Ma'am, I'm just being kind and buying cigarettes for Zhengming..."
"He asked me to buy it. He begged me. It's none of my business..."
The second concubine was crying and her nose was running. After a few beatings, smelly yellow fluid flowed out of her lower body.
Huang Wanzhen watched Chu Yanzhi, wearing a mask and gloves, constantly turning over Huang Zhengming's body. A sour feeling surged in her throat. She quickly covered her mouth and nose and tried her best to suppress it to prevent herself from vomiting.
The room was filled with a foul smell that was quite disgusting.
In the hospital, Chu Yanzhi revived Huang Dongshi. After Huang Wanzhen paid the consultation fee, she thought of Huang Zhengming at home who might need emergency medical treatment, so she quickly paid a high consultation fee and invited him to treat Huang Zhengming.
I didn't expect that I was still a step too late.
At this point, there was no need to treat the disease. Huang Wanzhen asked Chu Yanzhi to examine the cause of Huang Zhengming's death.
But the commotion in the main hall told Huang Wanzhen that no matter what the specific cause of death was, Huang Dongshi had already pinned the blame on the second concubine, and her request was unnecessary.
"Hey...what's going on..."
Chu Yanzhi took off his gloves, picked up the medicine box, and walked into the yard.
Huang Wanzhen quickly turned the wheelchair and followed behind and walked out.
"It was clearly an opium overdose in one sitting."
"I checked his body. He has a long history of opium smoking. Normally, he should have had enough experience and it's unlikely that this would happen. But the tragedy happened. I can only accept the reality. Please accept my condolences..."
Huang Wanzhen was not very sad. Neither the original owner nor she had any feelings for Huang Zhengming.
He was not a good father, nor a good husband, so let him die...
Huang Wanzhen couldn't help but sigh as she thought about this.
Chu Yanzhi thought she was sad and wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know how to start. He was silent for a while, took out a notebook and a pen, and wrote down a string of numbers.
"Please accept my condolences... If you need help, you can call me. I'm leaving now."
Huang Wanzhen didn't understand why he called her, but since it was a big deal that was delivered to her door, she quickly reached out and took it. "Thank you, I'll take you there."
Chu Yanzhi raised his hand to stop her, "No, no need, you go ahead and do your work, I have a good memory, I can just go back the same way."
Her father is dead, so let her have some time alone to reminisce.
Huang Wanzhen did not insist. After watching Chu Yanzhi leave, she turned her wheelchair and went to the main hall.
Seeing that the second concubine was beaten and covered in blood, Huang Wanzhen quickly called for a stop.
"Mom, can you please talk to me for a moment?"
No matter how much Huang Dong hated Huang Zhengming, he was still her support. Now that he was gone in such an unclear manner, she felt as if all her strength had been drained away and she couldn't even get up.
Xiuzhu and Xiulan supported her on both sides and led her into the inner room.
"You guys go down, my wife and I need to have some private conversation."
Huang Wanzhen spoke calmly.
Xiuzhu and Xiulan looked at each other, then nodded and walked out.
"Mom, the doctor just checked and found that my father had an opium overdose."
Huang Dong said bitterly, "I knew it was the cigarettes. That bitch clearly wants to harm your father. I want her to be buried with your father."
Huang Wanzhen grabbed her hand and said, "Mom, calm down. This is a new society. If you kill someone, you will pay with your life."
"Besides, my father released Second Concubine's indenture a long time ago. Even when the emperor was in power, you didn't have the right to beat or kill her."
"If you really don't want to see her, just kick her out and let her fend for herself. It's better than dirtying your hands."
Huang Dongshi grabbed Huang Wanzhen's hand tightly and said with resentment, "It's all your father's fault. If he hadn't released her indenture, he would have sold her to a brothel."
Huang Wanzhen was speechless and simply stopped talking, letting Mrs. Huang digest it for a while.
"No, we can't let her out of the house for the time being."
Mrs. Huang suddenly looked at Huang Wanzhen in panic, "Your wedding is in less than a month. Your father can't die at this time."
After she reminded her, Huang Wanzhen remembered that in this era, children had to observe mourning for three years after their father died.
"Hurry, Wanzhen, go tell them, don't tell anyone."
Mrs. Huang stood up hurriedly and said, "I'll go and discuss this with your grandfather. This is a major matter for our Huang family and we can't afford to make any mistakes."
When she arrived at Rongyang Hall, she happened to see the old doctor treating Huang Shuhuai. Without caring about anything else, she calmed herself down and said, "Doctor, how is my old grandfather?"
The doctor shook his head, sighed, and said, "He's already old, and he's had an evil spirit enter his body. This has been going on for a few months. You should make plans early."
Not only did Mrs. Huang have a severe headache, but her stomach also started to hurt. Soon, sweat broke out on her forehead.
"Doctor, please save my old man. Nothing can happen to him."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiuzhu hurried forward to support her and took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat.
"Doctor, please take a look at my wife. What's wrong?"
Xiuzhu moved Huang Dongshi to the right wing. The doctor called out the name of Mai and shook his head with a serious expression.
Xiuzhu was so scared that she fell to her knees with a plop.
"Doctor, please save my wife, she is a good person!"
The doctor stroked his beard and said, "She's also been shocked by an evil spirit, but fortunately, her health is good. I'll prescribe four prescriptions. Boil three bowls of water to make one bowl, and give it to her."
"During these days, rest in bed and do not strain yourself, and your life will be fulfilled."
Huang Dongshi cried out, "Ah!" and slapped the wooden couch, shouting, "It can't be perfect. Without my old grandfather, it can never be perfect again."
The old doctor had seen this kind of thing many times, so he had no choice but to advise: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are God's will, and cannot be changed."
"Instead of tormenting yourself here, you should go to the old man's bedside and show your filial piety."
