Chapter 288 The Fate of the Song Family!
After all that fuss, they said the old lady's leg was broken and that she would probably be bedridden from now on.
Upon hearing this, Mu Changping first breathed a sigh of relief, then felt a little worried.
At least the old lady is still alive, so he, her biological son, doesn't have to observe the mourning period. However, the thought that his mother would have to spend her days bedridden from now on still made Mu Changping feel uneasy.
The old man sent everyone away, but stayed at Rongyuan Hospital himself.
"Ms. Song, do you still remember what you did back then?"
Although the old lady had regained consciousness, she had no recollection of how she had fallen!
Reaching out to touch her head, which was wrapped in gauze, the old lady looked at the old man with a blank expression. "What, what are you talking about?"
"What? You just tripped and fell, and you're already confused? Tell me, how did Madam die?"
lady?
The old lady's expression immediately became wary, and her pupils contracted. "Grandpa, are you talking about Madam Feng? She died in childbirth!"
"Mr. Song, do you really think that just because you've eliminated all your people from back then, I'll never know the truth?"
"Grandpa?"
"Hmph! When Madam Feng gave birth, you actually dared to bribe the midwife to give her a tonic that could cause postpartum hemorrhage. Madam Song, I never knew you could be so ruthless! Don't you know how she treated you back then?"
The old lady's lips trembled, and she remained silent, but her eyes were somewhat cloudy and filled with fear.
"You're quite the schemer. My legal wife died, and then you replaced most of the servants in the house. After my mother passed away, no one knew that I had a wife. Now I understand why you didn't want to make a big deal out of it, and why you always refused to let her accompany me when I went out. You planned this from the beginning, to keep her from everyone's knowledge, didn't you?"
The old lady had now fully regained her senses!
"That's right! That's exactly what I planned! What makes her so special? She's just a country bumpkin, what right does she have to be your wife? Is it just because she saved your life? I was already engaged to you, if I break off the engagement without cause, how can I remarry?"
"I clearly gave you a chance back then. Your Song family was the first to propose annulment. That would have saved face for your Song family. But you insisted on refusing. Who are you going to blame?"
"Hehe! That's right! It was indeed me who insisted on not breaking off the engagement. I've admired you for a long time, and we finally got engaged. How could I give you up to someone else? What's so good about that Feng woman? She can't even read many words. She's just a little gentler and weaker than me. What qualifications does she have to become the matriarch of the Mu family?"
"You are presumptuous!"
The old man was furious. He swept his hand across the table, and all the teacups and fruit plates fell to the ground!
A series of clanging and banging sounds suddenly rang out, but the old women outside all kept their eyes down, seemingly oblivious to everything.
"What right do you have to compare yourself to her? At the very least, she is kinder than you, and more like a woman than you! Song, you killed the woman I loved most in my life, and you won't get away with it!"
"Grandpa, what... what do you want?" The old lady's eyes flashed, and she realized she was scared. She struggled to sit up, but unfortunately, her legs were weak and she was dizzy, so she couldn't get up.
"Mrs. Song, I'll make you wish you were dead!" A ruthless glint flashed in the old man's eyes. "You should have known this day would come when you ordered someone to drug her!"
"Somebody come!"
"Yes, what are your orders, sir?"
"Take good care of the old lady and make sure she doesn't get cold or bump into anything. If anything happens to her, you will all be punished according to the family rules."
"Yes, old man."
A look of fear flashed across the old lady's face. How could the old master suddenly be so kind? Taking good care of herself? What was he planning to do?
Soon, the old lady realized that the old man was thinking of ways to torment her!
Since that day, the old lady has never stopped taking her medicine, but her leg has not improved.
Although Mu Changping was anxious, she still had duties to perform. Jin Shi was not a patient person, and if it weren't for the fact that the old lady still had some money in her pocket, she wouldn't have bothered to come to Rongyuan to serve her!
However, Madam Jin did not come every day. After that day, the old lady perhaps realized something and dared not get too close to the second branch of the family. Even when Madam Jin came, she would only keep her for a few words before sending her away.
As for Madam Li, she only came a few times after she fell, and each time she only glanced at her indifferently without even a proper greeting.
Although the old lady was furious, she was unable to get up, and she had no capable helpers left. They had all been replaced on the old master's orders.
After several days of this, another change occurred at Rongyuan Hospital.
This time, they said the old lady had suffered a stroke.
When Mu Xin Nuan arrived at Rongyuan Hospital, she saw that the old lady's eyes were slanted and her mouth was crooked, typical symptoms of a stroke. The old master stood by and watched coldly, without offering the old lady any words of comfort in front of Mu Changping.
Mu Xin Nuan lowered her head. The old master's medicine was bought from Ping An Tang.
Mu Xin Nuan pursed her lips. If the old master knew that the medicine he had someone buy was actually made by her, would he be furious?
However, seeing the old lady like this now, Mu Xin Nuan felt a surge of joy in her heart!
Because the effects of that medicine go far beyond just a stroke!
After taking the medicine, it appeared on the surface that the old lady had suffered a stroke leading to facial paralysis, but in reality, her mind was perfectly clear! Only her tongue was numb!
Mu Xin Nuan's eyebrows twitched slightly. If it were an ordinary stroke, with careful treatment for a few months, there would naturally be a chance of recovery, or even a complete recovery! But for the old lady's case, there was absolutely no such possibility!
Moreover, while ordinary stroke victims can at least utter some simple words, the old lady, apart from babbling and groaning, probably can't say anything at all.
On the surface, that's how it appears, but her mind is perfectly clear!
Mu Xin Nuan sighed softly, realizing that her medicine was indeed a bit too harsh!
However, when used against the malicious Song family, Mu Xin Nuan felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction and exhilaration! It truly felt cathartic!
Now, she can't die even if she wants to, and she can't live well even if she wants to. Tsk tsk, it really makes one want to shout out in satisfaction!
