Chapter 711 Disobedience
She was in a bad mood these days. Her second son left without saying goodbye and went to Jiangning because of some instigation by Xia Zihan. She blamed Xia Zihan for this matter.
Xia Zihan made her angry and wanted to eat food from her Xia family. Bah... After eating it, he also cursed her with diarrhea.
Old Mrs. Xia thought hard in her heart, and then the look she looked at Mrs. Liu was like a knife stabbing into Mrs. Liu's body.
She believed that her eldest daughter-in-law had also been bribed by Xia Zihan. Otherwise, how could she dare to disobey her and get close to Xia Zihan?
He must have seen Xia Zihan's distinguished status and high status, so he fawned over her and ignored the existence of her mother-in-law.
Old Mrs. Xia was so angry that she regarded Mr. Liu as her enemy, and shot her with daggers.
Ms. Liu was sarcastic. After scolding her enough, she stood up and said, "The doctor prescribed the medicinal soup. I'll go over and take a look."
"In the small kitchen, Xiaoqian is cooking." The little maid responded.
Mrs. Liu smiled and said to Old Mrs.
She would rather squat in the small kitchen than be scratched by her mother-in-law.
This old lady has become more and more confused as she gets older, and she no longer knows what is good or bad.
This unreasonable and willful temper only gets worse as she gets older. No wonder her father-in-law avoids her and would rather not return home for several years than see her?
Mrs. Xia was very angry. After taking the decoction for several days, the blisters on her lips not only did not go away, but became worse and worse.
On New Year's Eve, I couldn't even drink the soup.
Mr. Xia was so anxious that he had two blisters on his lips. He didn't even eat much of the New Year's Eve dinner.
Ms. Liu happily ate two large bowls of rice. After the meal, in order to show her virtuous character as a daughter-in-law, she specially served a bowl of rice and brought many delicacies to Mrs. Xia's. inside the house.
"For this year's New Year's Eve dinner, I cooked my mother's favorite braised venison. You see, the venison is so braised and the flavor is in it. It's very delicious. Mother, do you want to try it?"
Yes, Liu did it on purpose.
Old Mrs. Xia is ill, and the Xia family currently only has one daughter-in-law, Mrs. Liu, by her side (Ms. Guo was engaged to Xia Zilan and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, she took Xia Zilan back to Jiangning City to prepare her dowry). If she don't want to be People say that she is unfilial because she has to come early and come back late every day to serve her mother-in-law, but Old Mrs. Xia always stares at her with a pair of daggers. No matter how good-tempered she is, she can't stand being treated like an enemy by Old Mrs. Xia every day. Stare.
Every time she came, she would make an excuse to cook medicine for the old lady to eat, and then she would sit in the small kitchen and talk to her maid.
Of course, she doesn't need her own hands to make the decoction. She has her own little maid to watch the fire.
Every time, only when she was giving medicine, Mrs. Liu would face Mrs. Xia. After she finished giving the medicine, Ms. Liu would excuse herself and leave.
She is the head wife of the family, and she is also very busy with things at home and outside the house. She can't abandon everything in the family just to serve the old lady, right?
Mrs. Liu's attitude made Mrs. Xia even more angry, thinking that Mr. Liu was unfilial. She wanted to scold Mr. Liu, but she couldn't speak and could only stare at her with her eyes.
The more she glared at Mrs. Liu, the more unwilling she was to get close to her. The angry old lady would always lose her temper, throw things around, and make the maids and women around her complain incessantly.
Finally, the maids did not dare to put extra things on the kang.
Today is New Year's Eve. Ms. Liu has been holding in her anger for several days and wants to express her anger today.
She deliberately took a piece of venison and wanted to feed it to the old lady, but the old lady's mouth was so swollen that she couldn't open it. She moved her mouth, but she couldn't open it and couldn't eat in. The old lady became anxious.
She hadn't eaten for several days and had only drank some medicinal soup throughout the day. She was as hungry as a prison rat.
Today, her condition became serious and she couldn't even drink the soup or medicine. One day, not a drop of water entered her stomach, and she almost starved to death.
Especially when she smelled the scent of venison, she was so greedy that her stomach growled, but...she endured the pain, tried hard to open her mouth, and finally managed to open a small gap.
Mrs. Liu looked at the large piece of venison on the chopsticks, and then at the small gap on her mother-in-law's lips, and said, "Such a big piece of meat will definitely not fit in. My daughter-in-law should tear it into smaller pieces for my mother to eat." Mrs. Liu tore off a small shred of meat and stuffed it into the old lady's mouth.
The chopsticks were so hard that they popped two big blisters, and the old lady cried out in pain. He raised his hand to slap Mr. Liu.
Mrs. Liu turned around to tear the meat, but happened to avoid the slap.
The old lady had been hungry for several days, and she had only a little strength left. One slap was empty, and if she tried to hit her again, she had no strength left.
The old lady lay on the bed angrily, staring at Mr. Liu fiercely and groaning.
And the strands of meat in the mouth have long been tasteless because of the sore lips.
Besides, even if she could feel the taste, her mouth was full of bubbles and her throat was so painful that she couldn't swallow it.
Ms. Liu picked up another piece of shredded meat and wanted to feed it to her.
This time, the old lady didn't even open her mouth. Mrs. Liu said, "Mom, this is the New Year's Eve dinner. You only eat a little. How can this be okay? My daughter-in-law will feed you more?"
The old lady glared at her.
Mrs. Liu had a basketful of good things to say, but when the old lady didn't open her mouth, she said, "Since mother doesn't want to eat, forget it. The master also said that he will feed mother some soup and medicine in a while."
Hum hum...
Mrs. Liu had a worried look on her face, but she was groaning in her heart. She must have hated this old godly woman so much that she looked at her with such murderous eyes.
It is best not to recover from her illness. If she recovers, she may not have a good life.
Maybe, she would even instigate the master to divorce her.
This old godly woman can definitely do this kind of thing.
Therefore, it is best not to recover from the old Qianpo's disease.
Mrs. Liu was calculating in her mind, but her face was extremely worried. When Mr. Xia entered the house, he saw his wife's worried look.
He asked, "Why, mother still hasn't improved at all?"
Mrs. Liu's eyes turned red, "Master, what should I do? In the past few days, my mother has not eaten a grain of rice. If this continues, I am a little worried."
Mr. Xia said helplessly, "Hey, how big of a deal is this? Why are you so angry? You've been angry for so many days, and you haven't..."
It’s not like Mr. Xia doesn’t blame his mother.
This old lady is getting more and more confused. She doesn't even know who is close to whom. Xia Zihan is the eldest concubine of the county prince's palace, the future prince's concubine, and the aunt of the Xia family.
How could her mother be so displeased with her as if she were her enemy? Wouldn't this bring hatred to the Xia family?
But after all, she was his mother, and he couldn't just tell her if she had done something wrong.
How can any son scold his mother?
However, if I continue to commit suicide, I am afraid that Yu Niang will hate the Xia family in the future. And if the Xia family wants to take root in the capital, they cannot offend the Chu family and the Chu family.
Otherwise, there would be no place for them to stay in the capital, and more importantly, the Xia family did not want to be regarded as enemies by Yu Niang and the Chu family.
This result was not what he and his second brother wanted to see.
