Chapter 695: Revenge for a Son, Hatred for a Mother!

ily. In every way, it's a perfect situation.Even recently, he was still planning to have his daughter-in-law give birth to another child. If it were a little girl, they would have a complete family w...At least the workshop won't kick her out for a small mistake!

She made a good plan and asked Xiao Cuier to find out about Lao Hei and the others.

Xiaocui never liked her anyway, and now she said directly: "Kong's wife, when you came to help with the cooking and laundry before, didn't you say that Lao Hei and the others were dirty Now how come you're asking these things"

"Aunt Kong blushed and chuckled awkwardly, "I was just casually asking."

Xiao Cui ignored her and continued to work.

Kōng's wife felt a little embarrassed and turned her head to go home.

Lao He and the others in the city also heard that Chen He had died. Lao He then said, "General, what is true cannot be false, and what is false cannot be true. Everything can pass, you must not get angry, if anything happens, our brothers can help out, General just give orders."

"That's right, General. We may not have much else, but we do have a knack for killing people. We could just raid their homes and wipe out the Chen family!" A half-drunk man spoke without restraint.

Li Lao Si smiled and said, "It's nothing major. The Emperor personally appointed the Ministry of War to investigate, and the Ministry of War will surely give a result. I might as well take this opportunity to stay at home and have a good year!"

Don't worry, if there's anything you need, we won't hesitate to help.

Lao Hei and the others were delighted to hear this, raising their wine bowls and drinking even more merrily...

When Li Lao Si got home, the wine table at home was also gone. There wasn't much going on, so everyone went to sleep.

The cold winter wind whistled through the windowpanes, and even the moon in the sky, frozen solid, had retreated behind the clouds. Darkness descended upon the world, save for the faint glimmer reflected from the vast expanse of snow.

In the Chen family courtyard in Xindu, Madam Chen, who had been paralyzed for seven or eight years, suddenly woke up in the middle of the night.

Her children and grandchildren are quite filial, she is well taken care of at home.

Although she couldn't walk and found it inconvenient to eat, drink, defecate, having maids and female servants take care of her made life comfortable.

During the day, she suddenly heard that her little grandson had passed away. As a white-haired person sending off a black-haired person, she was deeply saddened.

After dinner, the youngest son worried about her and comforted her for a while. Then he personally fed her half a bowl of soothing soup.

Logically, she should have slept until dawn, but for some reason, she suddenly woke up. Her throat felt like it was on fire and she was terribly thirsty.

The wet nurse hearing the noise, hurried into the room. She stood by the hot water pot for a while, then brought out a cup of warm honey water.

She brought the cup to Madam Chen's lips and whispered, "Madam, have some honey water to soothe your throat."

Mrs. Chen nodded and drank half a cup of honey water in one gulp, then closed her eyes again.

Little grandson died suddenly, and could only be kept at home for three days. Tomorrow morning, he will be buried.

Many relatives will be coming, she has to steel herself and see her grandson off on his final journey. She can't get sick, can't let her sons down...

The midwife stood by the bed, listening to the old woman's stillness. She took out a jade bracelet from her sleeve and placed it in the old woman's hand.

Then, she hastily washed the cup and teapot, tidied everything up, and quickly retreated downstairs.

In the small ear room at the entrance of the courtyard, someone was waiting in the dark.

As soon as the midwife passed by, the man quietly asked, "Is everything ready"

The midwife quickly nodded, stammering, "Done, not a single mistake."

That man was about to leave, but the woman boldly chased after him and asked, "Master, you promised me a thing, don't forget it."

"Rest assured, this matter is settled. Your grandson will enter the Luo'an Academy." The man waved his hand and quietly slipped into the darkness, disappearing without a trace.

The midwife retreated into her room, quickly climbed onto the bed and pulled the blanket over herself, but she couldn't fall asleep. She stared wide-eyed all night long.

In the courtyard, there was a deathly silence until dawn when the second-class maid responsible for attending to the elderly madam's needs entered her bedroom and screamed, causing all the Chen family members to rush over in a hurry.

"Oh, woe is me! Master One, Master Two, Master Three, Madam... Madam seems to have passed away!" The maid's face turned pale with fright as she knelt on the ground, unable to finish her words.

The Chen family rushed into the house, and sure enough, the old madam was lying with her eyes closed, her face pale and lifeless.

Mr. Chen, the eldest, and Third Master Chen Chuan were the most filial, they rushed to the bedside and cried out in pain.

Chen Chuan was almost crying to the point of vomiting blood. He first lost his son, and now he had also lost his mother. An ordinary person couldn't bear such a thing at all.

He held his aged mother's stiff body and cried, "Mother, oh Mother, why did you leave me How am I supposed to live without you"

Old Master Chen was also crying his heart out.

Their brothers were mediocre because their father died early, and most of the family was supported by their mother.

It wasn't until these past two years, when I became bedridden, that I finally shed the burden of being the head of the household.

It can be said that this family has made it to today, all thanks to Mother's hard work.

Now that Mother has suddenly passed away, as a son, my heart aches with sorrow and guilt!

Old Master Chen's eyes were bloodshot, and he stomped his feet while yelling.

"You bunch of dogs! How dare you serve the mistress like this! When did the mistress pass away Why didn't you call a doctor!"

A midwife knelt and cried, "The old madam woke up frightened all night. Every time, she kept muttering about Young Master He. We took good care of her and persuaded her for a long time, but..."

The other maids feared being implicated and also agreed.

"Indeed, sir. Madam has always been fond of Young Master He. Hearing that Young Master He is gone, she couldn't bear it and followed him."

"The old madam was in good health usually, the doctor said our service had been good. Now she's gone suddenly, it's just too heartbreaking. It really wasn't our negligence!"

"Sir, you see the jade necklace in Madam's hand was bought back by Young Master He. Madam really couldn't bear to part with Young Master He, so she went along!"

Fortunately, the two elderly gentlemen did not insist on punishing them. Instead, they shouted at their elder and younger brothers, "Big brother, third brother, Brother He's death was already tragic enough, I wish I could eat Li Qiusheng alive!"

"Now Mother is grieving for Brother He's passing, and I can't bear it!

The Ministry of War claimed it was investigating, but everyone knew they wouldn't dare to find Li Qiusheng guilty.

"Our mother and Brother He will end up dying in vain, our Chen family will be trampled underfoot by a peasant family like the Lis "

"How are we supposed to go out anymore Everyone will think our family is a bunch of scared turtles, too cowardly to face the world!"

Mr. Chen and Chen Chuan both had bloodshot eyes. Chen Chuan stood up and said, "Second Brother, what do you think we should do about this"

Chen Erye waved his fists furiously, his expression maniacal.

"My mother can be buried at the ancestral grave, but Ge'er died a violent death and cannot be buried there. It's better to carry his coffin to Suijin Beach and bury him at the entrance of Li's village than leave him in a mass grave."

Let the Lee family remember their evil deeds year after year, and let everyone in the Lee family remember that they are the mortal enemies of the Chen family for generations!

The imperial court ignores it, Marquis Xinting protects him, and the Ministry of War is indifferent. Li Qiusheng can use these things to escape punishment!

But our Chen family will never forget the hatred of killing a son and the grief of losing a mother! life improved, the children also had a few coins in their hands.So, this boy wanted two snacks, and that child wanted three candies, crowding the peddler's box to bursting.Soon, the children went dow...
