Chapter 259 Not Far From Death
At this critical moment, the door was slammed open, and Lin and Zhou Lingyi rushed in with a group of servants.
Everyone was stunned by the scene before them.
It was Zhou Lingyi who yelled, "What are you still standing there for! Hurry up and save the old lady!" Only then did they react and rushed forward. Thanks to their numbers, they finally managed to contain Wu.
The old lady was almost crushed to death.
Zhou Lingyi originally wanted to pretend to be a filial granddaughter and go forward to help the old lady up, but when she saw the pool of yellow liquid on the ground, she immediately retracted her steps.
She covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and ordered the nearest maid, "Hurry up and help the old lady up."
The nanny's mouth twitched, but she didn't dare to disobey. She could only suppress her nausea and move forward, not even daring to reveal the slightest disgust on her face.
With someone's help, the old lady finally stood up, but her face looked very ugly. She was angry, ashamed, and embarrassed. Even when she looked at Wu who was restrained by the servants, her eyes were filled with murderous intent.
The old lady had been respectable all her life. Even when the Marquis' Mansion was at its lowest point, she had never done anything shameful in public... even though her ugly behavior was seen by so many people.
This is a great humiliation for the old lady!
Not to mention that Mrs. Wu was crazy, if it weren't for her face, the old lady would have gone crazy too.
Lin hid the mockery in her eyes and asked with concern, "Mom, are you okay?"
Zhou Lingyi asked with concern, "Grandma, are you okay? It's all because Yi'er came late that Grandma has been in trouble."
Although the two talked like this, neither of them took a step forward.
The old lady's face turned pale and blue, and her wet clothes were dripping with unknown liquid. She just wanted to escape from this humiliating place immediately.
Zhou Lingyi, however, added fuel to the fire, "Grandma, Second Aunt only did this outrageous act because she couldn't accept it at the moment. Please don't hold it against her!"
While saying words of comfort, he slowly raised the corners of his mouth from an angle where no one could see.
She knew her grandmother best.
On the surface, she seems to love and care for someone, but if that person is of no benefit to the Bo family, she will abandon him or her in an instant.
And I will always put myself first in my grandmother's heart.
I'm afraid that Wu's actions this time have completely disgusted my grandmother.
This way, she can do her job freely.
When she discovered that Wu had noticed the mistake in front of the mansion gate, she wanted to kill Wu directly to avoid any further complications.
But Wu was the elder after all, and had the grandmother as her backer. Even if the grandmother disliked Wu's stupidity, she would not allow her to do anything wrong because she could not write two Wu characters with one stroke.
Now that's great. Wu has lost her own backer. I'm afraid that my grandmother now hopes that Wu will die soon even more than she does. This is exactly what she wanted.
Sure enough, after listening to Zhou Lingyi's words of persuasion, the old lady became even more angry.
Wu can't accept it?
She can't accept it yet!
She has never made such a fool of herself in her life!
She shouldn't have asked Wu, a fool, for her second son to marry her. She gave birth to the brainless Zhou Lingfu, who even dared to go against the family. She also caused the second son to be nearly forty years old and not even have a legitimate son!
The old lady looked at Wu, who was still struggling on the ground, and snorted coldly, saying, "As a daughter-in-law, you dare to assassinate your mother-in-law. You are simply ignorant and treasonous!"
"Since you are so heartless, don't blame me for being ungrateful!"
"You and your stupid daughter deserve this!"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhou Lingyi again, her expression softening slightly. She said, "Sister Yi, you're old now, and it's time for you to make your own decisions on many things. There's no need to ask Grandma for her opinion anymore. Just do whatever you want."
"Yes! Now that my granddaughter knows about it, I will definitely handle the matter properly and make grandma satisfied." Zhou Lingyi said softly.
The old lady nodded approvingly, and then, unable to bear it any longer, she took the hand of the nanny and left Wu's room, returning to Rongde Hall to bathe and change clothes.
The door opened, and Wu's heart-wrenching cry was heard, "Don't leave, don't leave, you will all be buried with my sister Fu!"
The door slowly closed, and Lin stepped forward and slapped Wu in the face, "Bitch, you deserve this day!"
She and Wu married into the marquis's mansion at the same time, but neither of them was favored by their husbands.
But Wu's life was much better than hers, because the old lady was Wu's aunt and always sided with Wu.
She was often bullied by Wu in the first few years after she entered the mansion. It was only after she gave birth to Lin Ge'er and his three siblings, while Wu only had one daughter, that the power in the mansion gradually fell into her hands.
But even so, Wu was still jumping around in the house, finding fault and making things difficult for her. She had really endured this for a long time.
Wu received a slap, but instead of crying out in pain, she looked at Lin and her daughter with hatred, "Bitch! You killed my sister Fu, just wait for me, I will make you pay with your lives. Even if I can't kill you while I'm still alive, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!"
Zhou Lingyi scoffed when he heard this, then slowly stepped forward, pinched Wu's chin with his handkerchief, and whispered, "Don't worry, Zhou Lingfu is not dead yet."
Mrs. Wu was stunned for a moment, a hint of surprise flashing across her eyes.
"But he's not far from death." Zhou Lingyi said quietly.
"Just now, you had the chance to ask Grandmother to relent and ask me to spare her life, but it's a pity that you ruined it yourself."
Upon hearing this, Wu was confused and at a loss for a moment, and then she desperately rushed towards Ling Yi.
"Sister Yi, Sister Yi, it's Second Aunt's fault. Second Aunt is so outspoken. Please spare your sister Fu's life, okay? Second Aunt promises that as long as you spare your sister Fu's life, Second Aunt will take her away and will never compete with you for His Highness Prince An."
Amidst Wu's desperate cries for mercy, Zhou Lingyi calmly shook his head.
Wu's face twisted as she roared, "Zhou Lingyi, if you dare to harm Sister Fu, I will make sure everyone knows about your relationship with Prince An. Then we'll see how you explain it to the Lin family!"
