Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside-Chapter 161: Lu Laosan Gets into Trouble

Widow Qiu stood at the entrance of the study’s courtyard, about ten meters away from the study itself. She spoke in a hushed voice, not worried about being overheard by Lu Laoer or Lu Laosan due to the singing inside the study.

Xiao Wuzi glanced towards the study door and saw it bustling inside, so he relaxed, lowered his voice and responded, "Of course it’s been done. Widow Qiu, rest assured, it won’t be long before Mian’er loses her composure and gets driven out by the Second Young Master and Third Master."

Hearing this, Widow Qiu felt much relieved. However, when Xiao Wuzi called her Aunt Qiu, she felt annoyed inside and glared at him, complaining softly, "Xiao Wuzi, what way is that to talk? Calling me ’aunt’ all the time, do I look that old? Call me ’sister’."

Xiao Wuzi got goosebumps from her scolding, but still smiled apologetically, "It was my mistake, please forgive me, Sister Qiu."

Then he added, "Once that girl is dragged out, you should go in and serve them. Tonight, you will surely win the favor of a man, and in the future, you can ride on your son’s coattails, marry into the Lu Family, and become a concubine."

Widow Qiu dreamt of marrying into the Lu Family and becoming a concubine, but the Lu Family Brothers bullied her while despising her for being a widow, calling her bad luck, and were reluctant to take her as a concubine.

However, the Lu Family valued male heirs. If she could bear a son for the Lu Family, then marrying in as a concubine would be a sure thing.

Xiao Wuzi, you really have a way with words." Widow Qiu covered her mouth and laughed, "Alright, then I’ll wait. Once this is done, I’ll give you another tael of silver."

She had already spent a tael of silver today on Xiao Wuzi to harm Mian’er, which pained her greatly. But if the plan succeeded, she would be willing to spend another.

Xiao Wuzi was very happy, "Then I shall thank Sister Qiu in advance."

Just as he finished speaking, a loud scolding came from the study, "You filthy girl, are you seeking death? Serving us brothers is your good fortune, and you dare to spit! You disdain us, don’t you?!"

Mian’er held back her nausea and the cramps in her stomach, speaking with a pitiful voice, "This servant dares not... It’s possible that I ate something bad, now, now..."

Before she could finish, her stomach churned violently, and a foul smell followed...

"Whimper, whimper, whimper..." Mian’er was utterly humiliated and broke into tears.

Lu Laosan was furious, kicked Mian’er in anger, "Damn it, you dare to discharge like this, bringing bad luck, you lowlife!"

Thud, thud, thud!

Lu Laosan, driven mad with rage, repeatedly kicked Mian’er with his foot raised.

Mian’er screamed for mercy, "Third Master, spare my life, Third Master, spare me, I did not do it on purpose... Vomit!" She threw up again.

Bang—

The door to the study burst open as Lu Laoer rushed out and shouted back into the study, "Old San, is this the one you picked? So disgusting, keep her to yourself."

Having said that, he left.

Widow Qiu, standing at the courtyard entrance, wanted to follow him but remembering Lu Laoer often stayed in the county, she decided to continue clinging to Lu Laosan and did not chase after him.

Lu Laoer, enraged, did not pay any attention to Widow Qiu and stormed back to the rear courtyard.

"Xiao Wu, get your ass in here and drag this cheap girl out. She’s to be sold to the Hongfang Building in the county tomorrow!" Lu Laosan, disheveled and hopping mad, rushed out of the study and yelled at Xiao Wu.

"Right away, right away," Xiao Wu hastily rushed into the study. He felt like throwing up from the mess inside the study, but still managed to grab Mian’er and dragged her out of the study.

Seeing Lu Laosan come out, Widow Qiu quickly put down her food container and approached, "Third Master, calm down, the little girl doesn’t know any better, let me serve you instead."

"Serve my ass, just get lost, I’m not in the mood right now." Lu Laosan ignored Widow Qiu and walked straight away.

Worried that Lu Laosan would leave, and her plans for the night would be ruined, Widow Qiu quickly followed him. She followed Lu Laosan to confirm that he did not leave home nor went to Ms. Wu’s courtyard, but instead entered the guest room in the front yard. Delighted, she turned around and headed towards the study’s courtyard, grabbed her food box, ready to share a few cups with Lu Laosan, in order to make things happen.

Xiao Wuzi was dragging Mian’er out of the courtyard, and they soon made it outside.

Qin San Lang and Gu Jinli waited for the right moment and hurriedly ran out. Qin San Lang acted as a lookout while Gu Jinli carefully poured the mountain god mushroom juice from the bamboo tube into the liquor pot and also into the meat dishes in the food box.

After finishing all this, Gu Jinli signaled Qin San Lang, and both of them hid back under the banana trees.

A little while later, Widow Qiu came back to the study’s courtyard, carrying the food box and cheerfully walked towards the front courtyard guest room. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Gu Jinli and Qin San Lang, worried that something might change along the way, also quietly followed. Seeing that Widow Qiu entered the guest room and after being scolded by Lu Laosan, the two of them began to eat, drink, and fool around, Gu Jinli and Qin San Lang then left the Lu Mansion at ease.

The next day, before dawn, chaos erupted in the Lu Mansion.

"Ah——!"

Inside the front courtyard guest room, Widow Qiu let out a piercing scream, rolling off Lu Laosan and cowering under a table, her eyes filled with horror as she stared at Lu Laosan.

At that moment, Lu Laosan was foaming at the mouth, convulsing all over with a pale face, looking as if he was about to die.

Xiao Wuzi was one of Lu Laosan’s personal servants and after dragging Mian’er to the woodshed, he was guarding outside the guest room. Suddenly awakened by Widow Qiu’s scream, he rushed into the room, saw Lu Laosan’s condition, and in fright shouted, "Someone come! Quick, people, Third Master is in bad shape!"

The people in the Lu Mansion were all jolted awake, Old Master Lu together with Lu Laoer hurried over, and seeing Lu Laosan’s state, Old Master Lu fainted on the spot.

"Dad, dad, hang in there," Lu Laoer quickly caught Old Master Lu and desperately pinched his philtrum to the point it almost bled, and only then did Old Master Lu take a deep breath and wake up.

"Old San... Old San... quick, go fetch the doctor!" After Old Master Lu struggled to shout this, he fainted again.

"Dad, dad, wake up," while Lu Laoer was shaking Old Master Lu, he also yelled at the bewildered servants, "What the hell are you all spacing out for, hurry and fetch the doctor!"

The roomful of servants finally snapped out of their shock, some rushed out to harness the carriage to go to town for a doctor; some pinned down Lu Laosan to prevent him from convulsing further.

"Shi Tou, quickly pry open Third Master’s mouth, he’s biting his tongue," Xiao Wuzi told another servant, and they managed to pry open Lu Laosan’s mouth, preventing him from biting off his tongue, though his tongue was already bitten and blood gushed from his mouth.

"Quick, fetch water, wipe down Third Grandpa’s body."

"Bring a new quilt for Third Master to cover with..."

The guest room was in complete disarray, servants were running in and out, busily tending to the chaos.

Originally dazed, Widow Qiu finally came to her senses and attempted to escape under the cover of the quilt while the Lu Family People were not paying attention, but was caught by Xiao Wuzi, "Stinking wench, it was you who brought harm upon Third Master, and you still want to run."

He was Third Master’s personal servant. With Third Master in trouble, his only chance to live was to put all the blame on Widow Qiu.

Widow Qiu’s face turned deathly pale as she said, "I didn’t do it, Third Master... This is tetanus, it’s nothing to do with me."

Slap! Slap!

Lu Laoer clenched Widow Qiu’s neck and slapped her fiercely twice, "Without you, would Old San get tetanus? You wretch, if anything happens to Old San, don’t expect to live."

"Someone, lock this wench up in the woodshed, before Old San wakes up, beat her three times a day," Lu Laoer threw Widow Qiu onto the ground, stamped on her, and then ran to take care of the unconscious Old Master Lu.
