Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

Chapter 351 Drawing fire from the bottom of the cauldron

"Madam, are you okay?" The maid handed her a clean handkerchief and then used her hands to smooth her back.

Fan Yuejia wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, her face was as pale as paper. She would never go into that room again no matter what was said.

It’s so scary!

The maid helped the old lady into the house. The smell in the house was so strong that it made it hard to breathe.

She secretly glanced at the old lady who looked as usual, and the maid gritted her teeth and endured it.

The doctor was sitting beside the bed, diagnosing and treating Yu Shicheng. Yu Shicheng's body, which was covered with sores and swellings, was pierced with silver needles. His hand, which was hanging by the bed, was covered with a handkerchief, and the doctor was feeling his pulse through the handkerchief.

Not far from the bed, a servant was squatting on the ground, wiping the floor.

The ground was covered with dark red bloodstains, which had been difficult to wipe off for some time and had turned dark brown.

An incense burner was emitting smoke continuously, and the whole room was filled with the smell of death and corruption.

The maid only took one look and then turned her head away, not daring to look again, for she was afraid that she would look like the eldest young master's wife.

When Mrs. Yu saw Yu Shicheng's miserable condition, she hurriedly took two steps forward and asked the doctor who was taking his pulse.

"Doctor, how is my son?"

The doctor opened his eyes, withdrew his hand and said slowly, "Madam, the young master has reached his limit."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yu burst into tears and asked, "Is there any other way?"

The doctor shook his head and sighed.

"Madam, please don't be angry at my incompetence. The young master's body has long been hollowed out by the five stones. You have seen it too. Now even his body is gradually decaying..."

Old Madam Yu also understood what the doctor had not finished saying. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and looked at her son who looked emaciated on the bed.

He used to be a handsome, gentle and elegant young man, how come he has become like this now?

As she was thinking, Madam Yu lost her breath, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Seeing that something was not right, the maidservant quickly cushioned herself underneath, thus preventing Madam Yu from falling and getting hurt.

The cleaning boy threw down the rag and ran over, "Madam, what's wrong with you?"

The doctor stood up, and together with the servant boy, he helped Madam Yu onto the low couch. The doctor grasped her wrist and began to feel her pulse.

Fan Yuejia, who was outside the door, didn't care about the nausea and hurried in, "Doctor, how is my mother?"

After taking her pulse, the doctor said, "The old lady is overthinking, which has caused liver qi stagnation. She is depressed and restless. I'll prescribe a few pills for her. She should go home and have a good rest. Let someone stay by her side and give her some advice. When she slowly comes to her senses, she will naturally get better."

Fan Yuejia turned around and told the servant to find someone to bring a sedan chair.

After hearing the doctor's diagnosis and treatment results, Mr. Yu fell into deep thought.

He felt an indescribable grief in his heart. This was the heir he had personally trained, and yet he was ruined like this.

Patriarch Yu began to think about what to do next. He realized that his health was getting worse day by day.

No, he had to make arrangements for the Yu family's future before closing his eyes.

So, the head of the Yu family summoned all the elders of the Yu family.

An ancestral hall was opened and Yu Shida was adopted by Madam Yu, making him her legitimate son. After he passed away, he would continue to lead the Yu family forward.

When Old Madam Yu regained consciousness and learned that it had been three days since the incident, she was so angry that she spat out blood.

The matter was settled, and no matter how much she wagged her tongue it would be useless.

"Good! You are so good, Yu Yunzhong. I really misjudged you."

Old Madam Yu had a headband tied on her head and was pounding the bed in anger.

The maid boiled the medicine and brought it in, saying kindly, "Madam, the medicine is ready."

Madam Yu, who was already furious, waved away the medicine bowl and said, "I don't want to drink it. Get out! Where's Cui'er?"

The medicine spilled all over the maid, and the bowl fell to the ground and shattered. The maid was so scared that she quickly took two steps back and fell to the ground.

"Please spare me, old lady! When she fainted, Sister Cui'er was under her body, so she was not hurt."

"But the doctor said that Sister Cui'er broke two ribs and needs to stay in bed for a while. During this time, I will serve the old lady."

"Useless things!"

Old Madam Yu stared at the ceiling with empty eyes, muttering to herself, not knowing whether she was talking about Cui'er, Yu Shicheng, or herself.

Yu Xunmei walked into the room and signaled the maid to go down.

When Old Madam Yu came to her senses, she looked displeased when she saw Yu Xunmei sitting beside the bed.

"Are you here to see if I'm dead?"

Yu Xunmei was not angry at her mother's harsh words, but tried to comfort her.

"Mother, the Yu family is in trouble right now, and we have not yet eliminated the external threat. We should unite and face the outside world together. Mother, you are being unreasonable. Not to mention father, even my brother would definitely not approve if he knew."

"How dare you mention your brother!" Madam Yu suddenly became hysterical, as if she were crazy. "He loved you so much, but what did you do to him?"

Yu Xunmei turned over and over and looked at her fingers that were smeared with Impatiens juice. They were slender and white.

After a long while, she smiled with satisfaction and said, "Mom, flies don't bite cracked eggs. How can you put all the faults on your daughter? It makes her so heartbroken!"

Madam Yu stared at her with vicious eyes.

"If you agree to marry to Cangwu County and agree to help your brother, then why would your concubine take your place?"

Yu Xunmei choked when she heard the words. Her face, which had always had a faint smile on it, twisted in the blink of an eye, and her eyes became fierce.

She stood up slowly and gently smoothed out the wrinkles on her skirt.

He said casually, "Mother, do you know what kind of life my concubine sister who married to Cangwu County lives? The family you chose for her is already rotten to the core, and there are at least 20 to 30 concubines in the backyard. It has only been more than a month since my concubine sister got married, and her husband has taken her three personal maids into his own room."

"That would be fine, but her good husband has a special fetish. He often beats and insults her in front of the concubines."

"When you marry your daughters off, you only consider their family background, but not their character. If I hadn't used some tricks, I would have been the one to marry!"

Yu Xunmei became more and more excited as she spoke. If she had sent someone to inquire in advance, how would she have known all this?

At this time, the maid came in again with the boiled medicine.

"Mother, please take your medicine. I'm going to get busy now."

Yu Xunmei flicked her sleeves and walked out of the room leisurely.

Old Madam Yu was so angry that her eyes turned red. She took the medicine from the maid and drank it all in one gulp.

She hates it so much!

She wants to live well!

She wanted to see what would be the final outcome for this family that schemed against each other!

Yu Xunmei left the main courtyard and went to the front yard where Yu Shida lived.

From afar, he saw the guard who was protecting Yu Shida closely, and he hurried out of the house.

What are you going to do?

She stopped and thought to herself.

"Let me see, what has taken away my sister's soul?"

Yu Shida's teasing voice came from behind her.

Yu Xunmei turned around and looked at him. Yu Shida, who had just recovered from a serious illness, looked pale. After this incident, he had lost a lot of weight.

"What do you want the guard to do?" Yu Xun asked straight to the point.

Yu Shida smiled slightly and said, "That group of people killed so many of my men, and even I almost died in their hands. It's time for me to get some interest back!"

"What are you going to do?"

"Sister, just wait and see." Yu Shida said mysteriously.
