Chapter 765 The death of Mrs. Cao
In the morning, Mrs. Chu had a severe headache. She wanted to go back to bed and catch up on some sleep. Unexpectedly, her mother-in-law came to report that Zeng Ning had hanged herself.
As soon as the mother-in-law finished saying this, Mrs. Chu was so shocked that she couldn't bear it and fainted.
In fact, before the mother-in-law had finished speaking, Zeng Ning had hanged himself, but was discovered early and had been saved.
Now it's better, Zeng Ning failed in his attempt to die, and the old lady fainted.
The mother-in-law was so frightened that she shouted for help. When Qingyasu's mother arrived, she ran to ask Doctor Bai without waiting for their orders.
Fortunately, the mother-in-law was smart and called Doctor Bai quickly. If Doctor Bai had come a quarter of an hour later, the old lady would not have been saved.
After finally waking up Mrs. Chu, Mrs. Chu breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that Zeng Ning was not dead. She was so exhausted that she fell asleep.
The Chu family did not have a good Dragon Boat Festival, and the Chu family did not have a good Dragon Boat Festival. The old lady fainted and fell ill. Princess Qinghui and Chu Yuexi lost the joy of celebrating the festival. The couple, with their two sons, They all stayed by Madam Chu's bedside.
After Zeng Ning was rescued, she was still secretly proud and elated, thinking that this move would make Madam Chu soften her heart and allow her to stay in the capital.
She was still planning in her mind that if she used this trick against Xia Zihan in the future, she would definitely get Xia Zihan to allow her to enter the Chu family.
Unfortunately, her calculations were too good and she ignored the tricks of Chu Yuexi and his wife.
When Chu Yuexi learned that Mrs. Chu was ill, she hurried over. After asking about the reason, he was furious and immediately ordered He Donglin to bring twenty guards to tie Zeng Ning up and put him in a carriage. Sent her to the northwest.
Her maid and mother-in-law also packed all her luggage and sent them away together with the luggage.
Zeng Ning was still dreaming, but the dream was shattered.
After being sent back to the Zeng family, He Donglin followed Chu Yuexi's instructions and told the head of the Zeng family one by one what Zeng Ning had done.
Before He Donglin came back, Zeng Ning was sent to the family temple by the Zeng family.
……
"The person was sent away?" Xia Zihan was shocked by Chu Yuexi's method.
"Humph, that kind of person just won't stop. Who dares to keep her in the capital." Chu Lin wrinkled her nose and drank up the pot of tea.
"Xiao Qing, go make another pot of tea." She threw the empty teapot to Chu Qing.
"That's the prince's tea." Xia Zihan rolled his eyes and said helplessly.
Chu Lin chuckled and said with a sneer, "Master has a lot of tea leaves in his hand, so he doesn't need this pot of tea." For fear that Xia Zihan would reprimand her, she quickly recounted the information she had learned from Zeng Yiran's guard.
"As soon as she returned to Beijing, she wanted to come to Prince Anjun's Mansion. Fortunately, she was stopped by Zeng Yiran's guard on the way. Otherwise, she would have made such a fuss when she came to Prince Anjun's Mansion."

"Hmph, that kind of shameless woman would not regret even if she died. She had married someone's tattered shoes and still wanted to miss the prince. She really thought that the prince was a rag picker and would accept any kind of junk. ?”
Xia Zihan was amused by her metaphor, and she pursed her lips and smiled.
Chu Lin mentioned another thing.
"Master, last night, Mrs. Cao went to the orchard." Mrs. Cao?
Cao Zian’s mother? Her mother-in-law in her previous life?
Really?
At this time in the previous life, Mrs. Cao was still alive and well. Unexpectedly... she died two or three years early in this life.
"Where's the body?" she asked calmly.
Chu Lin said, "Lin Zhuangtou knew that Mrs. Cao was the person that the master paid attention to, so he didn't dare to deal with it privately. He is waiting for your instructions."
"Buy a coffin, find a place, and bury it."
In any case, she and Mrs. Cao also had a fight between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. She wanted to throw her body into a mass grave and be eaten by wild dogs, but she still couldn't bear to do it.
In her previous life, Old Madam Cao had beaten and scolded her harshly, and she hated her very much. But in the past few years, she had taken back all the hatred from Old Madam Cao. In fact, Old Madam Cao's life had become better in the past few years It's not as good as the life she lived in Cao's house before.
The life that Mrs. Cao lived was ten times more miserable than the life she lived in the Cao family in her previous life.
Let’s just say the grudges from the past life have been paid off.
Now that Mrs. Cao is dead, she will show her kindness and accumulate virtues for her two sons, give her a coffin, and give her a burial place.
"Where's Cao Zian?" She remembered Cao Zian again.
Chu Lin said, "Huh, that kid is quite cruel. If she hadn't been so cruel, Mrs. Cao wouldn't have died so early."
It turned out that after the Cao family's mother and son were bought by Xia Zihan and sent to work in Zhuangzi, under Xia Zihan's suggestion, they were deliberately bullied by the people in Zhuangzi.
At first, Cao Zian thought that Mrs. Cao was for his mother's sake, and he would protect her to some extent. But later, he was bullied by the people in Zhuangzi for a long time, and his temper became worse and worse. He did not dare to talk to outsiders. When he gets angry, he gets angry specifically at Mrs. Cao.
Mrs. Cao's only son was as precious as her eyes. She felt sorry for her son when she saw him suffering. She knew that her son couldn't bear the suffering, so she felt angry in her heart. She would scold her a few times. She also understood that for her son's She endured the beatings and scoldings.
Cao Zian went too far. He left all the dirty and tiring work assigned to him by Zhuangtou to Mrs. Cao. However, when Zhuangtou didn't see her, he hid in a corner and went to sleep.
That's not all.
Every time they eat, the cook at Zhuangzi will deliberately leave just enough food for the Cao family and their son. Food for one person is not enough for two people. They still have to work. If they don’t eat enough, they will have no strength. If you work, you have to be beaten and scolded by the village head.
Therefore, every time he ate, Cao Zian always came first. He ate three-quarters of the meal first, and gave the remaining three or two mouthfuls of white rice to Mrs. Cao.
Sometimes, when Mrs. Cao is hungry and anxious, she will go to the orchard to pick up unripe fruits that have been bitten by insects and have fallen to the ground.
Digging wild vegetables, fishing in ditches, catching frogs... In short, whenever she had a little free time, Mrs. Cao spent it all looking for food.
If you are lucky, you can catch a big fish and a few fat frogs.
Every time Mrs. Cao found something delicious, unless Cao Zian knew about it, once Cao Zian found out, she would snatch the thing away without saying a word, then find a remote corner, pick up a few pieces of firewood, and light it. Bake the food and eat it by yourself, regardless of the life or death of Mrs. Cao.
After all, Mrs. Cao is old. She works hard every day, doesn't have enough to eat, and is beaten and scolded by her son from time to time. Her originally fat body became skinny in less than a year, and there was nothing left on her body. Put down a few taels of meat.
When he died, only a skeleton was left.
