Chapter 358: Killing Chickens and Monkeys
"Tell me, she's done something good."
"The old lady spares her life, the slave maid is also instructed by the second lady to do something in the nourishing tea, the slave and the maid are also forced to do it, the second lady said that as long as Miss Table can't treat the old lady, the old lady will definitely not live, so she thought about Miss Table, and the old lady went around the slave and maid......"
"What nonsense are you talking about, what kind of favor did you accept to frame me like this!" Second Mrs. Rong was a little panicked, she struggled to get up to catch Xiangyue, but was stopped by the old lady's people.
"Don't you want to admit it?" Old Madam Rong's voice was low, unprecedentedly stern, these people wanted to harm her, even if they wanted to harm her, they actually calculated on Lin Mumu's head, which she would never tolerate!
Where does Second Mrs. Rong dare to admit it, if she does, will she still have a bright future in the future! "Old lady, I was wronged."
Old Madam Rong closed her eyes, not wanting to see her again. "Drag it off."
Second Mrs. Rong was stunned. "Old lady, you can't, you can't...... Master, tell the old lady quickly, I was wronged, master! ”
Rong Shichang looked at the old lady, but at the old lady's eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, his heart shook and his throat was instantly choked.
Two stout mothers-in-law entered the house and dragged Mrs. Rong out. "Master save me, master save me...... Hmm...... "The two mothers-in-law didn't give her a chance to speak again, and directly blocked her mouth with a handkerchief.
Looking at the second Mrs. Rong who was dragged away, Rong Jin was full of horror.
"Grandmother, how can you do this to your mother!?"
Old Madam Rong's eyes looking at Rong Jin were also full of coolness. "Do you want to be expelled from the Rong family with her?"
Expelled from the Rong family!
Rong Jin's face turned pale in an instant, if she was expelled from the Rong family, what reputation would she have, and would that person still be with her?!
After a moment of hesitation, she tensed herself and shut her mouth.
"Mother, if it is found out that those evil things were done by the Zhang family, I will divorce this poisonous woman without my mother opening her mouth!" After Second Mrs. Rong was dragged down, Rong Shichang said solemnly.
Old Madam Rong lifted her eyelids and glanced at him, and there seemed to be a mocking smile in her eyes. "I'm tired, my yard has been abandoned by you, I will live here in the future, no one is allowed to disturb me until the clan elders come to Xijing, let's go."
"Mother......" Rong Shifan stood up.
"Let's go!" Old Madam Rong's voice was raised a point.
Rong Shifan couldn't, he bowed his head slightly and turned around and walked out of the house.
As soon as Rong Shifan left, the others also left the house one after another.
Soon, there were only three people left in the house: Mama Huang, Lin Mumu and Mrs. Rong.
After coming out of the house, Lin Mumu didn't say anything, just quietly watched everything that happened in front of her, she knew that Old Madam Rong had already had a plan in her heart.
Lin Mumu helped him into the room and sat down on the bed. "My grandmother is tired, so let's rest after taking the medicine for a while."
Old Madam Rong held Lin Mumu's hand tightly, as if this would make her feel better.
"I was a strong man when I was young, and I followed your grandfather to slowly grow the Rong family's business, and I have been strong for most of my life, and I have done a lot of things that want to suppress the Rong family, no matter how difficult I encounter over the years, I can grit my teeth and insist on overcoming it, but I didn't expect that when most of my body was in the ground, I was so calculated by the relatives I raised with my own hard work."
Old Madam Rong lowered her eyes, which concealed countless sorrows, what was more hurtful than being persecuted by her trusted relatives.
But even so, Mrs. Rong still softened their hearts, and only punished Mrs. Rong, where can Mrs. Rong do it alone, Mrs. Rong has managed the backyard for many years, and it can be said that her eyeliner is everywhere, not to mention such a big thing as pouring oil and setting fire, even if someone sneezes outside Mrs. Rong's courtyard, she can clearly know it.
Mrs. Rong knew that how could Rong Shifan not know......
And is this really just Mrs. Rong's idea alone? said that there was no Rong Shichang's handwriting in this, and Lin Mumu didn't believe it.
She thought that these old ladies Rong knew it in their hearts, but they didn't want to think about it anymore.
On that day, when the maid brought her the nourishing tea, she noticed that something was wrong, and then she and Mrs. Rong planned to get rid of the demon behind it.
Maybe Old Madam Rong still had some hope in her heart before that, but she didn't expect that the result would only disappoint her even more.
"I'm too old to be useful, I'll go back to Qingcheng with them when the clan elders come and divide up their families."
Returning to Qingcheng for retirement, out of sight is not a bad thing.
"Qingcheng is a good place, when I have nowhere to go, I will go to Qingcheng to find my grandmother and let my grandmother raise me."
Hearing her say this, the sadness on Old Madam Rong's face became less. "Qingcheng's son-in-law is no worse than Xijing's, if you want to go, your grandmother will find you a good son-in-law in Qingcheng."
"Okay."
"It's time for Mrs. Rong to take medicine." Qiaoqiao walked in with a medicine bowl.
After Lin Mumu waited for Mrs. Rong to take medicine, she coaxed her to sleep before exiting the house.
"Miss, your body is fine, right?" Qiaoqiao followed Lin Mumu and entered the house next door.
Lin Mumu shook her head. "What can I do, I don't care about that little trick yet."
Qiaoqiao brought hot water into the house, Lin Mumu was about to squint for a while after washing, and as soon as she got to the bed and sat down, the voice of the maid sounded outside the door.
"Miss Cousin, Banxia in the courtyard of the eldest young lady asks to see you."
Hearing this, Lin Mumu looked out the window and it was still dark, what did she do at night?
The Xu family is like an invisible person in the Rong family, Lin Mumu believes that she is not involved in the matter of attacking Mrs. Rong, thinking of this, she asked Qiaoqiao to bring people in.
"Miss Cousin, please save my young lady." As soon as Banxia entered the house, he knelt down in front of Lin Mumu with red circles under his eyes.
"What's wrong with your young lady?"
"Just now, the young lady suddenly vomited blood and fell unconscious, and we don't know where to go to ask the doctor at night, and ask Miss Cousin to come over and show our young lady."
Lin Mumu thought of Xu's face that had no attachment to the world, so she stood up and asked Qiaoqiao to change her clothes.
"I'll take a look."
"Where is Miss Cousin going?" As soon as she went out, Mama Huang came over and asked.
"It's my cousin-in-law who is a little uncomfortable, and it's not good to ask the doctor to come over and have a look at it at night."
Mama Huang nodded. "Miss Cousin, be careful, don't get cold in the middle of the night."
"Well, it's fine."
After Lin Mumu finished speaking, he walked out of the courtyard.
Although such a big thing happened in Rong Mansion tonight, after Rong Shifan and the others left, Rong Mansion fell into a silence, the courtyard where Xu lived was relatively far away, and he felt more and more quiet all the way through, and only the sound of shoe soles rubbing against the bluestone road was left in his ears.
The outside of Xu's courtyard was pitch black, only a faint light emanating from the lantern in Banxia's hand, and the entire courtyard seemed to be shrouded in the mouth of a dark giant beast.
"Quick, go and tell Grandma Sun that Miss Cousin is here."
"Yes."
After Lin Mumu entered the courtyard, he was taken directly to the Xu family's house.
Mama Sun walked out of the house and came to Lin Mumu and blessed herself.
"Miss Cousin, go and show our young lady, she, she is really a poor person......"
Lin Mumu looked at them like this, and guessed that Xu's situation was not good, so she didn't waste time and walked directly into the inner room.
Before the ninth cold day, a charcoal basin was burned in Xu's house, and the whole house was smoked warm, but it was very dangerous to burn a charcoal pot for heating, Lin Mumu saw that the window was closed or walked over and opened the window a little.
"In the future, when you burn charcoal pots, you must open the windows, otherwise it will be very dangerous."
"Yes, the old slave remembers."
Xu's body was covered with a thick quilt, and if it weren't for the slight bulge of the quilt, she wouldn't have noticed that there was someone in the quilt.
When he saw Xu's appearance clearly, Lin Mumu was stunned.
She remembered that the last time she came, Xu was already very weak, but she didn't expect that she would be so thin now, and there were many gray hairs growing between her sideburns, and anyone who saw her couldn't believe that she was just a woman in her early twenties.
Her face was covered with a layer of blue-gray, like a dead person.
Lin Mumu checked Xu's pulse, and as soon as she probed the pulse, her brows were twisted into one place, how could this pulse be so similar to when Old Madam Rong was seriously ill before.
After diagnosing the pulse, Lin Mumu took out a silver needle from the medicine box and pierced the acupuncture points on Xu's head, Xu's pulse was very similar to that of Mrs. Rong, but it was slightly different, so the way of treatment would be different.
The silver needle fell, and Lin Mumu asked the maid to take a pen and paper to write a prescription.
"Take the prescription to the Rong family's pharmacy to get the medicine and come back, and say that the old lady asked for it." The Xu family is no different from the invisible person in the Rong family, if she goes to the subordinates below who are used to praising high and stepping on low in her name, they will not necessarily administer medicine.
Banxia understood Lin Mumu's intentions, thanked her with red eyes, and went to the pharmacy with the prescription.
"The last time I saw my cousin-in-law, I prescribed the medicine, and after taking it, didn't my cousin-in-law get any better?" She had seen Xu's before, although Xu's condition was not very good at that time, but after eating her prescription, although he could not immediately recover like an ordinary person, at least it would not deteriorate further, and Xu's current situation was much worse than before.
"It's getting better, the young lady looked a lot better during that time, but recently, for some reason, the young lady has been extremely difficult to fall asleep at night, and she can barely sleep for a while if she needs soothing incense and nourishing tea."
Hearing what Grandma Sun said, Lin Mumu looked at the incense burner on the table, the incense burner engraved with lotus flowers was emitting white smoke at this time, and when she first came in, because the smell of the charcoal pot was too big, she ignored the smell of incense.
She leaned in to the censer and sniffed it. "This is agarwood?"
"Yes, I changed several kinds of incense before, and then the young lady chose agarwood incense, saying that her spirit can be much better after smelling it."
Hearing this, something flashed through Lin Mumu's mind. "What about the nourishing tea that my cousin-in-law drinks, show it to me."
