In the abandoned yard in the backyard, Zhou's mother was lying on the bed and calling hard.

Last time she was kicked by Zhou's father, she had heart and lung problems, and she was coughing all the time, and it has not improved until today.

She was locked up in this abandoned courtyard and couldn't get out, and she didn't even have to eat every day, let alone ask a doctor to come.

At first, she was still hoping that her husband would change his mind.

But as a few days passed, she gradually gave up.

She had never suffered like this, even if there was an accident in the Yongning Marquis Mansion before, Yuan Zhao took good care of them and never let her suffer.

Now, even her daily food has become a problem, and she can't hold it anymore.

finally took advantage of the fact that someone was delivering food, and she asked Zhou Shiyuan to bring a message to him to come and see her.

She can't count on her husband, but fortunately she still has a son.

However, Zhou's mother waited for several days and couldn't wait for her son.

Finally, while someone was delivering food, she grabbed someone and asked, and the man looked at her with pity and said:

"The prince said that his mother is dead."

Hearing this, Zhou's mother only felt that her sky had fallen.

She didn't believe that Zhou Shiyuan said this, how could it be?

That's her son, she worries every day that he won't have enough food and clothing, and she's planning for him every day.

Now, however, he said he was dead.

"No, I don't believe that you damn minion would dare to lie to me."

The person who delivered the meal was originally well-intentioned, but who knew that he would be scolded, even if he was annoyed.

She pushed Zhou's mother away and said disdainfully:

"Do you think you're still Mrs. Hou?"

"It's already the grace of Mrs. Shizi to let you live here."

After speaking, the maid coldly quenched her and left, and she didn't come to deliver food for two days.

Zhou's mother never knew that people could be hungry to such a point, and she used to dislike that the meals sent every day were some leftovers and cold burns.

However, now she thinks that those leftovers are all delicacies.

She shouted for two days and no one paid attention to her, and she couldn't get out, and finally she was hungry and ate the weeds in the yard.

Today, she can hear the bustle outside while lying in bed.

She doesn't know what a spring banquet is, no matter how lively it is outside, it has nothing to do with her, now she just wants to have a full meal.

As if hearing her heart, the door that had not been opened for two days finally opened, and the maid who delivered the food walked in.

Seeing her, Zhou's mother didn't care about reproaches or the like, and quickly snatched the food box in her hand, and even didn't care about the chopsticks, so she ate it in a big gulp.

Today's meal was quite sumptuous, and she didn't look down on it before, but now it's a state banquet.

After nibbling on two buns and a chicken leg, Zhou's mother felt that she had come to life.

After a pause, she asked:

"What's going on out there today? It's so lively. ”

When the maid heard this, she said:

"Today is the spring banquet held in Fuzhong, and a lot of people have been invited to the banquet."

"Mrs. Shizi has not forgotten you, and specially asked me to bring some delicious food."

Spring feast?

Mother Zhou was stunned for a moment, she felt that these were far away from her, and she couldn't even remember what she looked like when she attended the banquet before.

Hearing the maid's words, she said angrily:

"Who used her fake kindness?"

As she said that, her hand was firmly gripping the food box.

She didn't know where to eat this meal and where the next one would be.

Chicken thighs are now the most wonderful food in her mind.

When the maid saw her like this, her face was disdainful.

"It's not an exaggeration to soak the pig cage for those shameful things you did, Mrs. Shizi saved your life, and you don't know how to be grateful."

"Ungrateful things!"

"I didn't! You are talking nonsense! ”

Zhou's mother's face turned red, and when she was in a hurry, her cough became more and more severe.

The maid took a few steps back in disgust and said disdainfully:

"I really didn't do it, I would have died a long time ago."

"Phew!"

说完，那丫鬟一把抢过食盒转身就走了。

Zhou's mother wanted to chase after her, but where did she have the strength, she coughed violently, and coughed up blood directly.

Determined by death?

On that day, she really thought about proving her innocence by dying, so that she could still have a good reputation, and it would be good for her son and daughter.

However, after being locked up for more than ten days, Zhou Shiyuan's actions made her feel cold, he didn't recognize her as a mother, why did she die for him?

Besides, she didn't dare to die.

In the past ten days, she has lived so hard, and the more difficult it is, the more afraid of death.

Listening to the voices of people outside the courtyard, the tears in Zhou's mother's eyes kept dripping.

If she hadn't treated Yuan Zhao like that, wouldn't she have gotten such an end now?

She can also sit among the noblewomen and be sought after.

And the most ironic thing is that she has fallen to this point, and there is only one Yuan Zhao who remembers her life and death.
