Besides, the eldest daughter of the Du family is married, the second daughter is about to be married, and the third daughter is still young. If she asks to be divorced, these three daughters will surely be ruined. She has been suffering all the time, not just for these three daughters, so naturally she would rather die than be divorced.
Mrs. Du has been married to the Wen family for more than 20 years. She has given birth to children, taken care of the inner house, been filial to her parents-in-law, and taken care of her uncle. I can’t say she has done a great job, but she has not made any mistakes either…
Divorce would bring a stain on Wenren Zhongyong, and he wanted to save both face and dignity, so he acted so cruelly without caring about the life or death of his wife and daughter.
Xiaocao's eyes were as cold as ice. Wenren Zhongyong was even more rotten than she had expected. If Han hadn't quickly grabbed her, she would have gone berserk on the spot.
Han understood her mother-in-law. She was not the kind of person who could not distinguish right from wrong and always protected her children and grandchildren. She was wise and saw things clearly. She knew how to better continue the family. Therefore, if the second uncle dared to say such words, he would be courting death. The mother-in-law would definitely punish him. In this case, there was no need for Xuan'er to be the bad guy and say bad things.
Didn’t you see that after Wenren Zhongyong said this in a hurry, his face turned a little bad, his eyes were timid and he didn’t dare to look his mother in the eye.
"I failed to give you a legitimate son, and you don't like me. I thought that you didn't poison me to death and marry a new wife, which showed that you still had some affection for me. But I didn't expect that you didn't want to dirty your hands. After all, if it was exposed, your reputation would be ruined. You tortured me like this, dragging me down, and I either died or asked to leave. Wenren Zhongyong, you have such a cruel heart, such a cruel heart, aren't you afraid of retribution?"
No one knew when Mrs. Du woke up. Her face was as pale as paper, with traces of tears all over it. She looked devastated, as if her heart was being torn out and she was weeping blood.
Mrs. Du fiercely pulled out the silver needle and threw it on the ground, saying in a hateful voice: "Wenren Zhongyong, if you want me to leave the marriage, don't even think about it. I will die today. I want to see if you can hide it. Let the world see your hypocritical and vicious face, and see which girl from a good family will marry you? You want a legitimate son in this life, dream on!"
Mrs. Du stared at Wenren Zhongyong with hatred. If she could, she would drag him to hell with her. Those words, like a curse, climbed into his heart. He was frightened by Mrs. Du and took two steps back. Then he reacted and was extremely angry, "Bitch, you dare..."
"Ah - Mom, you are bleeding, so much blood, Mom..." Wen Renxi rushed to the bed in horror, his body trembling, at a loss.
Xiaocao quickly broke free from Han's hand and took two steps forward.
However, Mrs. Du reached out to stop Xiaocao from rescuing her.
However, Mrs. Du was in her current state and had very little strength. She was no match for Xiaocao. Xiaocao directly pierced her acupuncture points, making her fall into a complete sleep. Unlike before, she would not wake up unless Xiaocao removed the needles.
“Fourth sister, please save my mother, you must save her…” Wen Renxi burst into tears, looking so pitiful.
"Be good, fifth sister, don't worry." Xiaocao turned around and comforted her, then concentrated on saving people.
Yan, who was a little closer, hurried forward and pulled Wenren Xi, "Sister Xi, please stop blocking your fourth sister."
Xiaocao was busy, occasionally asking her maid to help. With her keeping things under control, there was no panic and everything went on in an orderly manner.
Madam Wenren covered her face with one hand to hide the sorrow in her eyes, “It’s my fault, it’s all my fault…” she murmured to herself.
She knew that there were problems in the second house, but she never meddled in matters, and other people would not easily tell her about these annoying things, so she didn't know that the problem was so serious. If she had asked a little more about it and intervened, things wouldn't have come to this.
Han was close to her and could hear it clearly. In comparison, her own mother-in-law was much better than those of other families.
After a moment, Madam Wenren took her hand down, her emotions subsided, and she looked at her second son with a serious and sharp look, "Old man, go and ask the eldest son to open the ancestral hall. I want to apply family law today."
Wenren Zhongyong looked stunned, as if he couldn't believe it, but when he saw that his mother didn't seem to be joking at all, he panicked and knelt down hurriedly, "Mother, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, please forgive me this time, mother..."
Madam Wenren was not moved at all. She stood up and swayed. Han hurriedly supported her, but she did not push him away. "Fourth girl, treat your second aunt well. If you need good medicine, don't be stingy. If there is anything missing in the warehouse, you can go to my private warehouse to get it." In terms of wealth, the old lady was naturally not as good as Han. She was expressing her attitude.
Xiao Cao nodded, "Don't worry, Grandma."
The old lady nodded and walked out. Han had no choice but to follow her. When she passed by Wenren Zhongyong, she did not even look at him.
What can Wenren Zhongyong do? Can he resist his mother? Can he refuse this family law
Wenren Zhongyong went out on his own and did not ask the servants to carry him out, otherwise he would have lost his last bit of dignity.
Xiaocao didn't care how Wenren Zhongyong was treated by the old lady. It took her a lot of effort to stabilize Du's condition. She also asked the maid to clean her body, change her clothes, and make the bed.
at the same time…
"Fourth sister, how is my mother?" Wenren asked cautiously.
"It's stabilized now. Don't worry. As long as we take good care of it, it will recover to 80% or 90%."
"Thank you, Fourth Sister, thank you." Wen Renxi's eyes were misty with tears, "But I'm afraid she will do something stupid after waking up."
"Don't worry, Sister Xi. Your mother is just upset for the time being. You should stay with her more and she will be fine." Yan consoled her and glanced at her sleeping sister-in-law. She was pitiful and silly.
Yan sneered in her heart. Among the five sisters-in-law, who else lived happily except the eldest sister-in-law? If she said she was not jealous, that would be a lie. How could there be such a big difference between five brothers with the same father? But jealousy was useless. It was fate. Fortunately, she had let it go long ago and did not rely on men. Moreover, Wenren would never favor a concubine over a wife. This concubine, no matter what her origin was, kept her tail between her legs. If she did something excessive and was caught, she would be dealt with immediately.
Besides, the number of concubines in the fifth room is even smaller than that in the first room, and they are all well-behaved, so Yan is happy and relaxed.
"Heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine. Your mother's heart disease is easy to cure. I will persuade her later."
Not to mention Wenren Xi, even Yan looked at her curiously.
Xiaocao smiled and didn't say much.
It was not until the medicine was cooked and brought over that Xiaocao finally woke Mrs. Du up.
Perhaps because she had no strength, Mrs. Du did not move. She just looked dejected and refused to take medicine.
Wenren Xi was so anxious that she cried.
