Mrs. Chen wanted to kill Chen Xinxiu, and she had no objection and agreed very much.
But asking her for two hundred taels of silver for her medical treatment was impossible.
After all, Xie Fanjin was secretly treating Mr. Chen's illness, and Xie Fanjin asked for two thousand taels at once.
The Chen family has been in poverty for a long time. Even if they are rich, they can't spend it like this. Besides, there are so many mouths to feed in the Chen family.
Uncle Chen knelt on the ground, wiping his tears. "Mother, she has lived with me for half her life, and then she was exiled with me. She has suffered so much. I can't just watch her die, can I?"
Old Madam Chen wanted to ask Uncle Chen to say a few good words to Xie Fanjin so that the consultation fee would be cheaper, but she also felt that Xie Fanjin was not the kind of person who was easy to talk to.
She rolled her eyes and said to Uncle Chen, "Don't you have a good daughter? Go find her. Can she really watch her own mother die?"
Coincidentally, Old Madam Chen also wanted to use this incident to ease the relationship with Shen Anan, thinking that if Shen Anan became successful, she might be able to benefit from it.
Uncle Chen was stunned for a moment, recalling that his wife was hit on the head and bleeding, and Shen Anan turned around and left without even saying a word of concern, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
He left in a daze, then went to find Xie Fanjin: "Miss Xie, we in the eldest house really don't have that much money. You know, after the fire, all our money was stolen by thieves."
Uncle Chen was ready to play the victim: "If it really doesn't work, I'll write you an IOU. When we have money, we'll pay you back with interest. My wife's illness can't be delayed, so please be kind..."
Before he could finish his words, Xie Fanjin interrupted him: "Your eldest wife's private money shouldn't be short of these two hundred taels, right? Otherwise, why don't you go and ask?"
Uncle Chen understood instantly. He looked at Xie Fanjin in surprise and could only go find Madam Chen.
Mrs. Chen is now lying on the ground. The blood on her face is almost dried, but the blood on her head is still flowing, which looks particularly terrifying.
Uncle Chen came over and said to Madam Chen, "Wife, we still have some private money, right? Xie Fanjin wants two hundred taels..."
Madam Chen closed her eyes and said, "There's no cure. Dig a hole... and bury me..."
When Mrs. Chen thought of Shen Anan's ruthlessness, she felt really disheartened.
For the sake of her daughter, she turned into a mad dog, either biting Xiao Yanxi or Xie Fanjin.
She harmed Chen Xinxiu for the sake of her daughter, but even after she was beaten like this, her eldest daughter didn't even look at her.
Uncle Chen was so angry that he swung his sleeves: "What are you talking about? You have money but you don't spend it. Instead, you are waiting to die. Who will you save the money for?"
Chen Qingbo's eyes were red as he said to Xie Fanjin, "Xie Fanjin, even if my mother was wrong, you can't be so cold and heartless. Two hundred taels is too much. We can only give you twenty taels at most!"
Xie Fanjin looked at him expressionlessly, unwilling to pay any attention.
Chen Qingbo had long disliked Xie Fanjin and immediately scolded him, "They say doctors have a compassionate heart, but you watched someone die without helping. You're really bringing shame to all doctors in the world..."
Before he could finish his words, Xiao Yanxi came over with a sullen face and said, "Who the hell do you think you are? What right do you have to say that to her?"
Chen Qingbo's chest was heaving with anger. He was also puzzled: "Mr. Xiao, even if you are down and out, you can't fall for such a cold and heartless woman who is obsessed with money. What's so good about her..."
Xie Fanjin's face gradually turned ugly. Chen Qingbo actually had the nerve to sow discord. It was simply hateful.
She reached out and pulled Xiao Yanxi aside, then slowly walked up to Chen Qingbo and said, "You said I didn't help someone in need. It's you who didn't help. She's your own mother, and you couldn't even bear to spend two hundred taels of silver to save her life. How dare you criticize me?"
Chen Qingbo swallowed hard and said stubbornly, "How can we have so much money? Xie Fanjin, please don't talk nonsense..."
Xie Fanjin was too lazy to talk nonsense with Chen Qingbo. She pointed at the clothes on Chen Qingbo's body and said, "There are three hundred taels of silver in your underwear. If you think I'm talking nonsense, I don't mind having people strip you naked so that everyone can see whether you have money or not."
Wu Ya, who was watching the fun, almost laughed out loud: "Oh my, your mother is almost dead, and you are reluctant to pay the money, and you turn around and blame Fan Jin. As a son, you are really shameful!"
Chen Qingbo's face flushed: "I...my wife is still pregnant and will give birth soon. We still have to raise the child..."
Before she could finish her words, Madam Chen broke down and burst into tears: "It's incurable... I said it's incurable... Hurry up and dig a hole to bury me... I've lost all my face, what's the point of living..."
Now she is not only disappointed with her daughter, but also with Chen Qingbo. She used to think that her children were her pride and she would risk her life for them. But now it seems that it is not worth it at all.
The Chen family's cold-bloodedness, ruthlessness, and selfishness were vividly displayed along the way. Outsiders watching really didn't know what to say.
Uncle Chen glanced at the carriage in the distance, sat on the ground with a dejected look on his face, and was at a loss for a moment.
At this time, Chen Qingbo's wife whispered, "It was Second Aunt who broke my mother's head. She should have paid the two hundred taels. Why should we pay for it ourselves?"
The Chen family's eldest wife remained silent. After all, it was Madam Chen who first wanted to harm Chen Xinxiu, so it was only natural for Madam Chen to beat her.
Finally, Chen Qingbo discussed it with his wife, and then said to Uncle Chen, "Dad, Mom must have money too. How about this, we give a hundred taels, and let Mom pay a hundred taels. We can't let Mom go like this."
This made Mr. and Mrs. Chen feel better, and they finally collected two hundred taels and let Xie Fanjin treat their illness.
Xie Fanjin sutured Madam Chen's wound, then said to the Chen family's eldest wife, "Madam Chen wants to use Chen Xinxiu to harm me. Maybe there are people with bad intentions using Madam Chen to harm me. That person might kill Madam Chen and put the blame on me. You guys better be careful."
The eldest branch of the Chen family was in a tight spot, so they spent two hundred taels to let Xie Fanjin treat Madam Chen, who might even die.
So the ones who wanted to kill Madam Chen and then blame Xie Fanjin were the people on the Second Prince's side.
Madam Chen suddenly laughed. Perhaps the first person who wanted to kill her and blame Xie Fanjin was her good daughter.
It's ridiculous.
These past two days, Xie Fanjin was extremely exhausted. He was busy traveling and digging herbs during the day. In his free time, he had to treat Mr. Chen Xinxiu and Madam Chen, and then he had to prepare medicine and make pills.
After Xiao Yanchen and Chen Xinxiu were poisoned, she felt that she should prepare some antidotes so that if someone else was poisoned again, she wouldn't be so busy.
Over in the carriage, Xiao Yanchen threw a note into the incense burner. As soon as he lifted the carriage curtain, he said to the captain of the guards, Lin Feng: "The envoy from Nanyue will be here soon. Tonight, Xiao Yanxi must die!"
He wanted to win over the Kingdom of Nanyue, and Xiao Yanxi was definitely more eager than he was. Once Xiao Yanxi reached a consensus with the Kingdom of Nanyue, all his efforts would be in vain.
If Xiao Yanxi used the Kingdom of Nanyue to make a comeback, the first thing he would do would definitely be to take his life.
So he would never give Xiao Yanxi a chance to turn things around!
Lin Feng bowed solemnly and said, "I'll make the arrangements right away."
Chen Xinxiu finally woke up. When she learned that Madam Chen had poisoned her, she was very calm and even a little happy.
I used to think that Madam Chen was honest and kind, but I didn't expect that she would do such a despicable thing now.
Her body is dirty, while for some people, their hearts are dirty.
"Five hundred taels, not a penny less."
When Chen Xinxiu said these three words, the eldest wife of the Chen family felt like the sky had fallen.
Madam Chen, with a wound on her head, said with a guilty look on her face: "Xinxiu, I was wrong about this matter. I was wrong..."
Chen Xinxiu closed his eyes and said, "If you want me to forgive you, you should also see if you are worthy. I said, five hundred taels, not a penny less. If you don't give it, we will go to the government office."
Madam Chen's face turned pale, and she made up her mind: "Alright, then send me to see the officials. I can die and put an end to it all, and I won't have to suffer this punishment of exile!"
