Doctor Shi's frown relaxed slightly, he said "oh", stopped and reminded his wife: "Mother is old, don't always remember what she did wrong in the past, she is old after all, you should give in to her more."
Mrs. Shi bit her lip, thinking that her husband had no conscience in saying this. Who really wanted to be disobedient and be criticized? But she had to be a little bit tolerant of her mother-in-law, right
Since she got married, her mother-in-law has never treated her well. She said she could eat a lot, but she wouldn't let her sit at the table to eat. She only had two sweet potatoes for a meal, and she had to cook all the time. When times were tough a few years ago, she even forced her to weave for others...
After her husband finally entered the Imperial Hospital and her life gradually improved, her mother-in-law did not let her go at all, and kept her busy all the time, like whipping a spinning top, not letting her have a moment of peace. The most hateful thing was that on the one hand, she scolded her for not being able to have children, and on the other hand, she did not allow her husband to get close to her...
Mrs. Shi felt very aggrieved. She couldn't help but sneer, "You said that as if I wasn't the only one who was wronged all these years. Your old lady is so difficult to serve. You don't know what's going on. Are you worried that she will be bullied by me? You might as well worry about when I will be tortured to death or angry to death!"
This was not entirely wrong. Doctor Shi knew his mother's temperament well. Seeing that Old Lady Shi's eyebrows were raised and she was about to curse, he pulled her back and said, "You should calm down a bit. If you have anything to say, just talk slowly. Don't make a scene all the time."
He then whispered to Mrs. Shi, who was about to leave, and told her solemnly, "Didn't I tell you before that I still have some silver in my hand?"
Mrs. Shi nodded and looked at him suspiciously, wondering why he brought up this in the middle of the night.
Doctor Shi patiently and carefully told her where the silver was hidden, and then said, "This silver is enough for you to live for a lifetime. You can take this silver from now on. I don't ask you to keep it for me, nor do I ask for anything else. If you want to remarry, you can go. But there is one thing I ask of you. Please agree to it for the sake of our marriage for so many years."
Mrs. Shi was stunned by these words. She didn't react at all. She didn't know why her husband suddenly said it so seriously. She couldn't help but said, "You..."
Doctor Shi held her hand tightly for a long time, until Mrs. Shi cried out in pain, then he loosened his grip again and said in a low voice: "I have committed a crime, and I don't know what will happen to me in the future. This money is the only thing I can give you. Please, for the sake of our marriage for so many years, and for the fact that I have been relatively decent to you, don't bother with my mother, and let her live the rest of her life well!"
After he said that, he let go of Mrs. Shi's hand and rushed to the main hall.
When the curtain of the main hall was opened, he saw Dong Chengqi who was frowning and listening to the noise. He forced a smile and called out "Master Dong".
Dong Chengqi looked at him suspiciously and asked him, "What were you mumbling about outside just now? Why did you take so long to come in?"
Doctor Shi sighed, with a sad expression on his face: "I am telling them about my final arrangements, so that when I die, the women won't be panicked and won't know what to do."
Dong Chengqi's right eyelid twitched heavily, and he looked at him alertly and asked immediately: "What do you mean?! What do you mean by leaving your last wishes?!"
He brought a lot of people with him. Although he took the risk to get the news early, he had already thought of a way out. Now when he heard what Doctor Shi said, although he was panicked and angry in his heart, he was still thinking more about how to escape more perfectly.
Doctor Shi glanced at him, as if he knew what he was thinking. He smiled bitterly, looked down at the ground, and said coldly, "They all know. I'm done now. What do you mean?"
It happened! Dong Chengqi's heart suddenly jumped, and his whole heart almost jumped out of his chest. He stared at Doctor Shi tightly without reacting for a while. After a moment, he immediately reacted and pushed Doctor Shi away.
Doctor Shi was still very calm. He even had time to straighten his clothes while standing there. He looked at Dong Chengqi who was about to rush out and shook his head slowly: "It's useless. They know everything. The people you brought with you have already been arrested. You should just give up."
Wei An was much more difficult to deal with than they had imagined, and they didn't even get a chance to breathe. After he gave Dong Chengqi away, Wei An immediately had people check on this person and find out his exact whereabouts. After knowing his whereabouts, he let him go home to stabilize Dong Chengqi first, and asked others to capture all the people brought by Dong Chengqi who were scattered in the alleys.
Doctor Dong Shi had never seen such a meticulous mind in a girl. What else could he say if he fell into the hands of such a person? It was good enough to save his life. He only hoped that Wei An would spare his life because he had confessed everything.
Silver is good, but it's too hot. He looked at Dong Chengqi who rushed over and said calmly: "I have no choice. Even ants try to survive... I still have my mother and wife to take care of..."
Dong Chengqi pointed at him viciously, his face full of frustration and speechlessness. Before he could react, the door was slammed open.
A group of people holding torches rushed in from outside, lighting up the entire courtyard like daylight. Old Lady Shi and Mrs. Shi were so shocked that they stood there, with no time to argue or blame each other. They could not help but run into the house tremblingly to find Doctor Shi.
Doctor Shi sighed and bowed his head to Old Lady Shi: "Mother, I'm sorry for you. It's my son's fault..."
Dong Chengqi was extremely angry, but at this moment, he had no way out, so he could only grit his teeth and point at Doctor Shi and curse, "You son of a bitch, how dare you betray me!"
The light reflected his extremely hideous face. Even a mean person like Old Lady Shi did not dare to speak for a moment. She just held Doctor Shi's hand tightly and asked him with a choked voice: "Son, what is going on? Why are there so many people here?!"
Doctor Shi was speechless, holding Mrs. Shi's hand tightly. Seeing that Mrs. Shi was in a state of panic, he sighed and nodded to Mrs. Shi with a pleading look, but he said gently to Mrs. Shi: "It's nothing, it's nothing, just wait a moment, it will be fine soon." (To be continued)
