The Concubine's Daughter Travels Through Time and Space and Takes the Road of Confrontation

The doctor pondered for a moment, then withdrew his hand, slowly shaking his head and sighing, "The old lady has always been stupid, and as she ages, she should avoid getting angry. Now she has suffered a stroke, so we can only take good care of her."

The old lady was half paralyzed. She looked at her son with her eyes and stammered, not knowing what to say.

Xiaoyu listened for a while before saying, "The old lady told the master not to embarrass Cheng Ge'er. He is still young and can be taught."

Master Lu wiped away his tears and nodded, "It is my son who is unfilial. Mother, you should have a good rest. I am here to accompany you today."

The old lady shook her head and hesitated a few times, looking straight at Qin and her granddaughter-in-law.

"The old lady said that since the master works hard, we don't need him. The mistress and grandmother are enough." Xiaoyu continued to translate.

The eldest master sighed and left with heavy steps. Chen sent the wet nurse back to get clothes, but the wet nurse took Chen Siye with her.

As soon as Chen Siye entered the room, he pulled Master Lu aside and burst into tears. "My wife fainted when she heard that her son-in-law was going to hit her daughter. She hasn't woken up yet. My dear father-in-law, I want to take my daughter home to take care of her."

"That's what I should do." Lu Lingcong could only agree.

Chen Siye returned home with his daughter, sighing distressedly and scolding his wife, "It was you who coveted their family property, and now you have such a prodigal son."

In front of her mother, Chen wiped away her tears and forced a smile, "Mother, you must not be in any harm."

Mrs. Chen looked distressed and blamed herself, "It was your mother who harmed you. You have suffered, my son."

The old lady looked unhappy when she saw people leave, so Qin had to explain, "Chen's mother is sick and wants her to go back to see her." Xiaoyu was sent by her to the backyard to make tea. She let the old lady lie on the bed and mumble, and Qin pretended not to hear.

After a while, a strong smell of urine came from the bed. Qin covered her mouth and nose in disgust and ordered the servants to change the clothes and mattress under the old lady.

The old lady was ill and everyone had to be informed. Qin sent people to deliver letters to the Third Prince's Mansion and Lu's Mansion.

When Zhao Qingbo received the news that the old lady of the Marquis of Ping'an's mansion was ill, he sent someone to deliver some medicinal herbs to Lu Ling and also sent the court doctor to take a look.

What the court doctor said was no different from what everyone else said, and Master Lu gradually gave up hope.

At the Lu residence, Lu Lingcong heard that his mother had suddenly suffered a stroke despite being healthy. Even though he still had some resentment in his heart, he still took his wife and children and loaded a cart with medicinal herbs to the Marquis' Mansion.

This was the first time the two had met since their separation, and Master Lu, feeling guilty, personally went forward to greet them. The two brothers were very polite and kept silent about what had happened in the past.

Seeing that her sister-in-law wore light-colored clothes but the materials and jewelry were all top-quality, Qin was also very enthusiastic. "I haven't seen you for a long time, my sister-in-law. You are even more elegant than before." After saying that, she praised Rong Jieer for becoming more and more beautiful.

Zhang smiled and said, "Sister-in-law seems to be in better spirits now. I wonder how the old lady is doing now?" Master Lu also turned around to look at her. Facing the gazes of the second master and his wife, Qin smiled reluctantly, "The old lady is eating and drinking well. She just took some medicine and went to sleep."

Zhang realized immediately that the old lady was still worried about being implicated and didn't want to see them. "Sister-in-law, I'm just as worried as Master is. Just a peek through the window will put my mind at ease." She then helped Master Lu stand up.

Qin gave Nanny Qin a wink, quickened her pace and led the way.

Before they entered, the turbid, fishy air mixed with the smell of medicine penetrated everyone's nostrils. Zhang remained calm, while Qin covered her mouth and nose and asked someone to open the window.

Through the window, the old lady lay in bed, waving one arm up and down in the air, making a "hehe" sound. Although she was sick, she had gained a lot of weight.

Qin wiped her eyes and said, "Maybe she's lying in bed and can't move. The old lady wakes up every few days after sleeping for a while, and she needs someone to take care of her at night. She needs more than a dozen people to serve her one after another."

The old lady became even more excited when she saw the visitor. Her eyes widened, her hands kept pushing out, and saliva dripped from the corners of her mouth. Qin Shi took out a handkerchief and wiped it with her hands, suppressing her nausea.

"The old lady said she was happy to see you." The old lady became even more excited, her face flushed red.

"Let mother have a good rest, we won't disturb her any longer." Lu Lingcong turned around and walked out, making the excuse that he had something to do at home and left without even having dinner.

Zhang brought him some soup, thinking he was just sad because the old lady was sick, so she comforted him softly, "The old lady looks pretty good. Maybe she'll be able to get out of bed after a while."

Lu Lingcong held his wife's hand and sighed, "If we don't go, she'll recover faster. It's really hard to believe that someone who was perfectly healthy would have had a stroke."

"Master, I have several dowry shops. When I checked the accounts, I found that they didn't match. After asking, I found out that Cheng Ge'er had taken away five hundred taels of things under the name of the old lady."

Lu Lingcong frowned. "Why would Cheng'er act like this? Is he responsible for the old lady's illness?"

"If my brother and sister-in-law don't mention it, it may not be him." After reminding her husband, Zhang started to smooth things over.

After leaving the house, Lu Cheng had only been well behaved for a few days before he was once again seduced into going to a brothel. With a beautiful woman in his arms, Lu Cheng lay on the couch, listening to a little song and occasionally taking a sip of the fine wine that was passed to him, feeling completely dizzy.

The madam pushed the door open and came in, putting on a smile. "Master Lu, the girls still have to serve others, what do you think?"

Lu Cheng, who was woken up from his sweet dream, was at a loss for words. He subconsciously touched his empty purse, stood up with a sullen face and cursed, "I spent so much money on you guys a few days ago. I'm just short of money now, and you're acting like this, Mom."

The madam smiled and let him yell. His friend Hu San followed up with a few words, feeling very unfair for him. Then he took out his purse like a magician, weighed it, and said triumphantly, "Who said we have no money? Today, Master Hu, it's your treat."

The madam was so happy that she was almost blinded by the money when she opened it. She went out and called the girls to come and receive the customers.

Lu Cheng bowed to him uncomfortably and said, "Thank you for today, brother."

Hu Sanhun didn't care. "We are all brothers. Uncle Lu is an outsider. How can I let you treat me all the time? You are the son of a marquis, and I am a peddler. It is my blessing to be able to be friends with you. You are just temporarily penniless, unlike me who got rich by sheer luck." Lu Song, who was intoxicated by the flattery, was curious. "Brother, how did you suddenly become rich?"

Hu San immediately shut up, looking very secretive.

Lu Cheng was even more curious and pretended to be angry. "You still say we are brothers. If there is a way to make money, why wouldn't you tell your brother? Or are you afraid that I will steal your way to make money?"

Hu San lowered his voice and said in embarrassment, "Alas, I'm just afraid that my brothers will look down on me if they know about it and won't want to be with me anymore."

Lu Cheng swore again and again that he would never do that, and Hu San reluctantly leaned over to whisper a few words in his ear.
