Chapter 979 Torture
"Dad, I'm sorry. I have tried my best and can only extend my grandmother's time for seven days." Xia Zihan went to the side hall and said to Chu Xuanyu with an apologetic look.
Chu Xuanyu said with a smile, "Seven days is enough, Ayu, our Chu family just needs to keep the two hundred thousand elite soldiers in our hands. As for the things in the court, they shouldn't be ours, so we can't covet them. Sometimes, Having too much power is not a good thing." It's probably a reminder.
Throughout the dynasties, no emperor wanted to see his ministers more powerful than himself, let alone that in the minds of the people, there were only ministers but no emperor. This was a phenomenon that no emperor wanted to see.
Over the years, their father and son first conquered the Tatars and then invaded the Japanese lands. They made great contributions one after another and earned a peaceful and prosperous age for the people.
In the hearts of the people, the father and son are god generals, gods sent from heaven to save the people of Dasheng from water and fire.
In order to thank them, many people even offered longevity tablets to them at home.
This time, Aqi made great achievements in Jiangnan again, creating a better prosperous future for Dasheng, and won the praise of millions of people. Now, in the Jiangnan area, all the people know that the palace of Anjun in the capital is There is a fighting hero named Chu Shizi.
When Aqi comes back in May, the emperor will definitely reward him greatly.
In the eyes of others, this must be a good thing that is envied, jealous, and hated, but in the eyes of Chu Xuanyu, it is as uneasy as a reminder.
Since ancient times, the fate of military generals with great achievements has been bad. Either they were framed, their families were confiscated and their clans were exterminated, or they were exiled for three thousand miles and spent their entire lives in decadence.
In the past few years, the father and son have repeatedly made extraordinary achievements, and their achievements have long been higher than those of the emperor. If the emperor hadn't seen that the Chu family was still valuable, he might have killed them long ago.
Now, Mrs. Chu is passing away, which is good news. It just allows them, father and son, Ding You, to stay at home for three years to avoid the limelight.
After three years, there will be great peace and prosperity, there will be no wars, and the generals will have no chance to shine again, and their father and son will not be so eye-catching.
……
After fussing all night, Xia Zihan slept until noon the next day. When she woke up, she remembered that she had forgotten to ask Chu Xuan about Yu Rong's palace last night.
After lunch, Xia Zihan took one of her sons by the hand and went to Zhuo's yard to talk to her.
Unexpectedly, Zhuo was gone and she was gone.
When Zhuo's second-class maid Xiu'er, who was staying to look at the courtyard, saw her, she came over and reported, "Princess, the princess is serving the old lady in her house. If the princess has anything urgent to do, she should come to the princess, and the servant will inform the princess." A sound.”
"No need, I'll just go to the old lady's yard." Xia Zihan said.
Mrs. Zhuo hates the old lady's behavior, doesn't like to see her, and doesn't like to serve her grovelingly. However, she is a junior after all, and the old lady occupies the name of her mother-in-law. She just doesn't like to see the old lady anymore. , I have to go and serve for a few days to show off, otherwise, it will be unpleasant to be pointed at and scolded for being unfilial in the future.
Xia Zihan wrinkled her nose. It seemed that she, the nominal granddaughter-in-law, had never served the old lady for a day. Should she also take the opportunity to earn a reputation as a filial daughter-in-law and come back?
Xia Zihan thought about it, so she took the two little buns and went directly to Mrs. Chu's yard.
After Mrs. Chu took the medicine, her complexion returned to normal and she woke up, but she could not speak or get up. She had to be cared for when eating, drinking, sleeping, and sleeping.
Mrs. Zhuo sat on the chair and directed the maid to wipe her body, "Wipe it clean. I ate so much medicinal soup yesterday that it smells like medicinal soup. Get rid of that smell. The old lady loves to be clean. The smell is too strong. She won't Like.”
Mrs. Chu was very angry after hearing this. She glared at Mr. Zhuo angrily, babbling and wanted to say something, but when she opened her mouth, there was no sound. She was so anxious that she hammered the bed board with her fist.
Mrs. Zhuo stood up and scolded the maid who was wiping Mrs. Chu's body, "Focus on the strength. The old lady thinks that the strength is too weak and she can't wipe it clean. The old lady hasn't washed herself for two days. If you don't give me some strength, the clothes on her body will be wiped clean." How to remove dust ”
Mrs. Chu's eyes were so angry that she was about to burst into flames when she looked at Mr. Zhuo. This damn bitch, she really wanted to make her angry to death. She even ordered the maid to torment her while she couldn't speak. She How could this old bone withstand the torment of a few maids and women?
This damn bitch did it on purpose.
Mrs. Chu's anger rose from the soles of her feet, but she couldn't vent it out. She could only gnash her teeth and scold Mrs. Zhuo in her heart.
She couldn't make a sound and scolded Mrs. Zhuo, but Mrs. Zhuo couldn't hear her. Mrs. Zhuo seemed not to see her angry eyes, but looked at her with pity and said distressedly, "Mother, isn't it hard? Oh, Just bear with it a little longer, and you will feel comfortable once it is cleaned. Don’t worry, your daughter-in-law will come and wipe your body every day from now on.”
Mrs. Wang, who was pressing one of Mrs. Chu's arms to help her sit up, turned around to please her and said, "Princess, you are really filial. It's been several days since the old lady came back, and she hasn't been scrubbed yet. She already smells like this." , my eldest aunt asked her to scrub her before, but the old lady wouldn’t let her say anything, saying that she would be tired. Breasts, oh, it’s almost April, the weather is getting hot, not to mention the old lady lying in bed all day, wearing the quilt, even if a good person doesn’t take a bath for a day, his body will be sticky and uncomfortable. It’s still the princess’ love for the old lady. If not, the smell on the old lady’s body would be so unpleasant.”
"The smell is bad, so we will scrub the old lady twice a day." Zhuo said with a smile, "Everyone should be more fortunate. In this way, everyone who waits in the old lady's house will receive double monthly payment. .”
As soon as Mr. Zhuo finished speaking, all the servants in the room happily bowed and thanked him.
Mrs. Zhuo continued to win people's hearts, "Serving the old lady is not an easy job, and I know it well. Starting tonight, I will add two meat dishes to each meal for you. This person will have the strength to work after eating meat." br>
"What the princess said is right. My slave loves to eat meat. Every time I eat, I feel sorry for him, so I let him eat all the meat I get. I have been working hard these past two days, and I feel a little unable to do what I want."
Mrs. Wang followed Zhuo's words and continued.
Two maids and two women scrubbed Mrs. Chu for nearly half an hour before they finally scrubbed her whole body clean, and the original smell of medicine was gone.
When Xia Zihan came, the mother-in-law's maid had already dressed Mrs. Chu. The old lady was lying on the bed, leaning against the big pillow, glaring at Mrs. Zhuo angrily.
