The farm annex, in a subordinate room.

Mrs. Zou's face was pale, lying quietly on the bed.

An elderly doctor closed his eyes slightly, stroked his beard with one hand, and checked Mrs. Zou's pulse with the other.

After a long time, the old doctor, whose brows were already furrowed, withdrew his hand, and his eyes slowly opened, and a touch of helplessness flashed in his already somewhat dim eyes.

"Doctor, how is Mrs. Zou's condition?"

Today, Mrs. Zou made a fuss early in the morning, and the thinner mother-in-law helped her and ran seven times to the thatched house.

Seeing that the ground in the thatched house was dyed red, the thin woman felt cold in her heart.

Hurriedly asked the steward for leave, and then hurriedly invited the most skilled old doctor in the nearby town.

At this time, seeing that the old doctor had finished taking the pulse, the thin mother-in-law hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

The old doctor helped Mrs. Zou cover the quilt, shook her head gently, and motioned to go out to talk.

The two of them gently pushed open the door of the house, and stepped over the threshold to the small courtyard.

"Doctor ......"

The old doctor waved his hand to interrupt the thin woman's inquiry, and said with a regretful face: "It's not cured, hurry up and find all her relatives and see Zuihou." ”

"Huh?" Although the thin woman had a hunch, she still exclaimed, and then said with a wry smile: "She has never been married in her life, she is lonely, and she has no men and children." ”

The old doctor was slightly stunned when he heard this, when he checked his pulse before, he found out that the patient had given birth to a child, and he was injured during childbirth.

It is precisely because of this kind of woman's injury, dark disease, and chronic illness that after taking the pulse, he thought that his mother-in-law was old and should have suffered a cold, which led to the recurrence of the injury and dark disease, and the condition was turbulent and could not be cured.

How can a patient never marry?

However, if the patient is just an ordinary person, he will naturally ask questions.

But Jingfu is the leading wealthy family in Ningyuan County, which has a lot of secrets, well-informed, and has also entered some wealthy families because of his good medical skills.

The thin woman sighed, not noticing the abnormality of the old doctor's expression.

"Since you don't have any relatives, then you can find all the people who get along well with her and help deal with some aftermath." The old doctor changed his tune.

"Hmm." The thin woman nodded slightly.

In fact, Mrs. Zou has not been in Jingfu for a long time, and she is dull and doesn't talk to people much on weekdays.

Didn't make a few friends at all.

However, when you encounter this kind of thing, find a few more people to help, and I think many people will be enthusiastic to help.

The thin woman took out a purse from her arms, counted dozens of copper plates, and handed it to the old doctor, "This is your consultation fee." ”

"Forget it, the old decay didn't help much." The old doctor refused to accept it.

But the thin woman forced the money into the hands of the old doctor, "You have traveled a long way, how can you do it without receiving medical fees?" ”

"Not really!"

"If you do this, I won't dare to come to your door to treat you in the future."

The old doctor took the money.

The thin mother-in-law sent the old doctor out, and then found another mother-in-law in the same room who was Zhang Luoqi.

For funerals, you have to buy white cloth, paper money and other things, and you have to decorate the mourning hall.

Many people saw that the two of them looked wrong, and after asking, they also reached out to help, because the movement was quite large, and finally reached Lin Ya's ears.

Baozhi asked cautiously, "This is the mansion courtyard, the young master and you both live, isn't it okay for the mother-in-law's mourning hall to be placed here?" ”

The implication is that after all, Mrs. Zou is just a subordinate, and she can't set up a mourning hall in another courtyard after death.

Even if the servant Yahuan who is on an errand in the mansion does not wait for anyone to die, he must be pulled out of the mansion immediately when he is critically ill.

It is usually pulled to the farm and then the funeral is done.

Jingfu, the other courtyard, this is the territory of the owner of Jingfu.

Lin Ya thought for a while, when she was in the Lin family before, there was no one who could do anything after death in the mansion, so she said: "Transfer Mrs. Zou to another family in the farm, she doesn't have any relatives, it's really pitiful, just give that family some money then." ”

"The young lady, like the little master, is also a bodhisattva."

Baozhi curtsied, and then went out to pass the word.

The Lin family is in Anzhou City, Dingzhou, and it is also a wealthy family, with many clansmen, although Lin Ya's father is also a lineage, but he ranks fourth in the family, the youngest of his brothers, and he was overly pampered by his parents before, which made him used to be lavish, and he had no ability.

Lin Ya's biological mother is the daughter of a wealthy businessman, and marrying into the wealthy Lin family is considered a high climb, after all, the Lin family has many children who serve in the local government, and if there is no clansman as an official, it is not a wealthy family.

However, although it is Gao Pan, when Lin Ya's biological mother married into the Lin family, she brought a large dowry.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is ten miles of red makeup, and Lin Ya's biological mother is quite good at managing money, and it is precisely because she brought a large amount of dowry and made money for Lin Ya's father to spend and squander, so Lin Ya's biological mother was able to have a harmonious relationship with Lin Ya's father back then.

And after Lin Ya's biological mother died of dystocia, the family property fell into the hands of Lin Ya's father.

Lin Ya's father naturally slowly forgot the good of his original wife.

Because Lin Ya's father did not have a high status in the mansion, and after the death of her biological mother, Lin Ya was suppressed by her stepmother later, so Lin Ya couldn't recognize some of the powerful stewards in the Lin Mansion, even if Zou Pozi had appeared in front of Lin Ya before, if she didn't watch carefully, Lin Ya wouldn't be able to recognize Zou Pozi's true identity.

It is precisely because of this that Mrs. Zou dared to secretly enter Jingfu as an eyeliner.

Moreover, when Mrs. Zou was in the Lin family, she held authority and was brightly dressed, but now she is dressed as a rough mother-in-law, and she is even more confident that Lin Ya will not recognize her.

At this time, as Lin Ya, she naturally would not personally visit Mrs. Zou, who was seriously ill and dying.

also missed the opportunity to discover Zou Pozi's Lin family's eyeliner.

Mrs. Zou was already confused, as if in a dream, and thought of her own man who had been sick and died for decades.

For a while, I thought of the only son who was poisoned to death.

Being a nurse for the eldest lady of the Lin family is naturally a rare good messenger, and there are many people who compete.

It has even been implicated in the intrigue between some masters.

She was extremely loyal to Mrs. Lin's mother, and she also sacrificed her life to protect Mrs. Lin's young life.

It is precisely because of this that some people who want to persecute the eldest lady of the Lin family have spread their resentment on her family.

Although Zuihou's mother helped her avenge her, she eventually became alone.

For many years to come, she also wanted to find another man to remarry, but the mother of the eldest lady of the Lin family talked to her once.

said that it was better for her not to marry, only in this way can she gain enough trust from her master.

The meaning in the words is that if you have relatives, you will have the handle to be coerced by others.

experienced the tragedy of a man's death and the poisoning of his only son, and then intrigue with others, revenge, conspiracy to frame him, and murder, and gradually Mrs. Zou became a cold-blooded and ruthless person.

But before she died, in the confused memories, she gradually discovered some strange things.

It seems that the death of his own man and only son is quite related to the mother of the eldest lady of the Lin family, who has passed away for many years.

Even if it's not the poisoner under it, it's still a cold bystander.

And the purpose is just to let her have no worries, and only be loyal to the eldest lady of the Lin family for the rest of her life.

When the young face of his own man and the chubby sleeping face of his only son resurfaced in his mind and slowly disappeared, Zou Pozi suddenly woke up, "No, don't! ”

"Are you alright?" The thin woman was busy for a while, so she stayed in front of the bed, and when she saw that Mrs. Zou woke up, she hurriedly asked.

Mrs. Zou was already dying, knowing that her limit had arrived, and at the same time, she also realized that she was not so simple as suddenly getting seriously ill.

"Can you borrow a pen for me?" Mrs. Zou said with difficulty.

"Okay."

People are dying, and those who can be satisfied naturally have to be satisfied, and the thin woman hurriedly went out.

After a while, he came to the hut with several other mothers-in-law.

After seeing a few mothers-in-law see their appearance, Mrs. Zou turned her head away with red eyes, but tears had already slipped from the air.

My heart is inexplicably warm.

She didn't even know the names of the mothers-in-law, but they wept for themselves.

So what if it's the eldest lady of the Lin family who has been loyal all her life?

Mrs. Lin was raised by her milk and was raised by her, she knew her too well.

It's impossible to shed tears for herself, and after knowing that she is about to die, she will probably only eagerly ask about some things she cares about.

The thin woman handed over the pen and white paper dipped in ink.

Mrs. Zou raised her hand with great difficulty to take it, and although the other mothers-in-law in the house were illiterate, they still all exited the hut.

Taking a deep breath, Zou Pozi mustered up Zuihou's strength and wrote down a text.

It is then rolled into a paper tube and stuffed into the underwear.

After a while, the other mother-in-law came in, and saw that there was a trace of ink on the corner of Zou Pozi's mouth, and the paper in her hand was gone.

"I wanted to leave some last words, but I thought that there were no relatives at all, and it was in vain to stay, so I ate it in my stomach." Mrs. Zou gasped and said.

The thin woman wiped her tears and stepped forward and said, "Then what else do you want to eat, I'll go to the kitchen to make it for you." ”

However, Zou Pozi's eyelids were already slowly closing.

Scenes from the past emerge from front of your eyes.

I have harmed so many people in my life, there are young maids, male servants in the house, powerful housekeepers, and other powerful housekeepers under other hostesses.

When Mrs. Lin's mother's face appeared in front of her, she clenched her fingers, but in the end she smiled, she was calculated by this person to be a pawn for Mrs. Lin for a lifetime, but you stood by and watched back then, allowing my man and children to be assassinated, and I also stood by and watched that woman this time.

Mrs. Zou figured out a lot of things, and at the moment when her eyes were about to close, she faintly heard a sad cry.

A person who is as vicious as himself and has done all the bad things, how can someone cry for himself?

In the end, Mrs. Zou died peacefully.

Jiang Long heard the guard's report that Zou Pozi was dead, but he just nodded lightly, "I heard that she has no relatives, so the government will pay for the aftermath." ”

"Yes."

The guard took a few steps back, then rode in the direction of the courtyard.

Because the government paid for it in the end, Mrs. Zou's funeral was quite public.

However, when many mothers-in-law helped Zhang Luo, set up the mourning hall, and hung the white silk, they didn't notice a figure sneaking through the relics of Mrs. Zou.

Finally, in the underwear of Zou Pozi, a roll of paper was found.

Quickly unfolded and glanced at it, this person just stuffed it into his arms and left in a hurry.
