The abandoned wife of the noble family, she is Black Heart Lotus

Chapter 9 Persecution
  In order to save his image, Xu Ningyu stopped competing with Gu Deyin and took the lead in throwing up his sleeves and hurried to the yard where his mother, Mrs. Xu, lived.

In order to avoid suspicion, Xu Ningkai hurriedly followed the steps of his second brother, so as not to explain the situation unclearly.

Liu Ruohe and Gu Deyin fell behind. They had their own concerns and were in peace for the time being.

The servants following at the end were secretly winking and gossiping quietly.

When they arrived at Meiyuan, where Mrs. Xu lived, the four of them hurried to the inner room.

The atmosphere in the back room was solemn. Mrs. Xu was lying on the bed unaware of anyone else, and the doctor was inserting needles into her vagina.

Mrs. Xu just snorted softly and woke up faintly.

The doctor ordered his servants to open the windows to allow air to circulate.

When the four people came in, they saw such a scene.

Xu Ningyu stepped forward to ask about his mother's condition.

The doctor sighed and said a long list of words about his condition, and everyone seemed to be listening to a book from heaven.

Liu Ruohe pretended to ask, and then started to wipe away her tears with her handkerchief.

Gu Deyin couldn't help but feel disgusted when she saw her acting coquettishly.

"Sister-in-law, why are you crying? My mother-in-law is still alive."

When Liu Ruohe heard this, she choked with tears.

Xu Ningyu glared at Gu Deyin, hating her so much in his heart.

Just as he was about to reprimand, he saw that his own brother Xu Ningkai actually agreed with Gu Deyin.

Just listen to him say, "Second sister-in-law is saying, sister-in-law, when you cry, aren't you cursing your mother?"

These words were so serious that Liu Ruohe couldn't shed tears from her eyes, looking like I felt pity for him.

"Uncle, that's not what I meant. Don't misunderstand me..."

Xu Ningkai waved her hands and had no intention of talking to Liu Ruohe. Not every man was like her.

It's just his second brother who is stupid and hangs around her.

When Liu Ruohe saw this, he felt miserable in his heart. He was secretly annoyed that Xu Ningkai's brother-in-law was a piece of cake.

No wonder his wife would rather stay at her parents' home for a few more days than come back early.

Gu Deyin, who was watching from the side, was laughing to death in his heart.

It was the first time I saw Liu Ruohe, a little white flower, meet her opponent, and I instantly fell in love with Xu Ningyu, my brother-in-law.

"Third brother!"

Xu Ningyu couldn't see his sweetheart being wronged and sad, so he immediately warned Xu Ningkai.

Xu Ningkai frowned, his second brother was a fool.

"I said, the most important thing now is my mother-in-law's condition."

Gu Deyin reminded him sternly.

Therefore, if you, Xu Ningyu, want to stand up for your sweetheart, you have to look at the occasion.

I didn’t see Mrs. Xu, who was originally looking bad. Now, is her face even worse?
  Xu, who looked weak, glanced at Liu Ruohe warningly.

Where is the usual cleverness?

At this juncture, there are extraneous matters, because you don't want Zhu Geer to be well, right?

Sure enough, mud just can't hold up the wall.

I was right not to fall in love with her back then.

It's a pity that his eldest son is good at everything. The only shortcoming is that he was fooled by this woman.

When she insisted on marrying such a little white flower as her eldest daughter-in-law, it was useless no matter how much she objected.

No parent in the world can resist their children, and she is no different.

In the end, she could only recognize this daughter-in-law by pinching her nose. To this day, she still looks down upon Liu Ruohe a million times.

But thinking of her eldest son who died on the battlefield, her heart softened again.

Zhu Geer is the last drop of blood left by her eldest son, and she must save his life no matter what.

At this time, her eyes darkened and she seemed even weaker.

Receiving the warning from her mother-in-law's glance, Liu Ruohe was annoyed and angry, but now that she wanted to beg this old woman, she could only restrain herself first and stop trying to show off.

Gu Deyin used to not be able to notice any of these subtle things, but now she turned her eyes and immediately saw the intrigue between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.     Sure enough, my intuition was not wrong.

These two people joined forces just for themselves.

There was no self-righteous display from Liu Ruohe, and the scene became quiet again.

The doctor frowned and made a conclusion, "The eldest wife's illness is urgent and her life may be in danger. She needs a hundred-year-old ginseng as a guide to save her life."

Oh, it is indeed a century-old ginseng.

Gu Deyin sneered inwardly. For this ginseng, these people didn't even give up their face.

Xu Ningyu looked at Liu Ruohe immediately. Is this what she said?

Then he thought carefully, this method is actually wonderful, the mother-in-law is the elder, can she, Gu Deyin, still refuse to be alone?

If an unfilial hat is pressed down, she has to obey.

He raised his eyes to look at Gu Deyin and suddenly felt relieved.

He had been frustrated by her failure for the past two days.

Now the tide has finally turned, and it's her turn to be frustrated. Thinking of this, he smiled subconsciously.

Gu Deyin gave him a cold look, this extremely hypocritical villain.

"Husband, your mother-in-law is critically ill, and you seem very happy?"

When Xu Ningyu heard this, he immediately calmed down his expression and said seriously, "Don't talk nonsense."

"Really? I just saw you smiling, I thought you were happy?"

Gu Deyin didn't give him any face and exposed him directly.

Xu Ningkai glanced at his second brother. In fact, he also saw the second brother's expression just now.

It's just that as a younger brother, it's hard for him to say anything.

Xu Ningyu didn't want to be criticized by Gu Deyin, so he quickly stepped forward to express his concern for his mother Xu.

"Mom, my son will go to the warehouse to get the century-old ginseng."

Liu Ruohe quickly spoke up, "Ning Yu, the century-old ginseng in the warehouse has been used up a long time ago, have you forgotten?"

After speaking, she looked at Gu Deyin.

Others also followed her gaze and looked at Gu Deyin.

Yes, the Marquis Xuanning's Mansion does not have a stock of century-old ginseng, but the Gu family of the imperial merchant certainly does.

This is the perception of many people in the Hou Mansion.

Xu Ningkai, a filial son, was extremely anxious for his mother's life.

Then, he saluted Gu Deyin in public.

"Second sister-in-law, please step in to save my mother's life. We should be grateful."

Afraid that Gu Deyin would not agree, after all, the second brother and second sister-in-law had a fierce argument before, so he quickly added.

"If my second sister-in-law calls me in the future, I will not dare to disobey her."

These words were extremely sincere and touching.

Liu Ruohe hated this brother-in-law before, but now she likes him.

At this moment, she looked at Gu Deyin with evil intentions. How would she take this move?
  Of course, this time she learned the lesson and no longer deliberately wiped away her tears to pretend to be weak, so as to avoid Gu Deyin from making excuses again.

Xu Ningyu also put away his arrogant look and pretended to be repentant.

"Madam, please save mother."

"It was all my husband's fault before. You, sir, have a lot. Don't argue with me. My husband is here to apologize to you."

After saying that, he made a bow on the spot.

That gesture was also sincere and had absolutely no intention of being perfunctory.

If Gu Deyin still cares about everything, it's Gu Deyin's fault.

Even Mrs. Xu looked at Gu Deyin with eager anticipation.

An invisible net loomed over Gu Deyin, forcing her to be generous and obedient.
