Chapter 373 Successful delivery, the dust has settled
Mrs. Bai stepped forward and held Mr. Lin's hand, but in the end she couldn't bear to watch him die.
There was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Ma'am, do you want to drink with me? Actually, I know you put something in the wine, but I don't care at all."
Mr. Lin held Mrs. Bai's hand tightly and slowly put it on his face, hoping to find the last bit of tenderness from it.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Bai was only soft-hearted for a moment.
Because Mr. Lin had already let her go, and blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth, and he was holding his chest and dying.
"Ma'am, I really can't bear to part with you. I hope I won't meet you again in the next life."
Seeing Mr. Lin fall to the ground, Mrs. Bai reached out to him with trembling hands, but Mr. Lin had already died.
The other party had already drunk the poisoned wine before he arrived.
For a moment, she felt indescribably complicated.
Scenes of the two of them getting along appeared before my eyes.
All this is bad karma.
Mr. Lin died with his eyes open, commonly known as dying with eyes open. Mrs. Bai reached out her hand and gently helped him close his eyes.
Looking at Mr. Lin who was already dead on the ground, Mrs. Bai sighed and walked out of the room.
There were already servants waiting outside.
"Mr. Lin died suddenly due to illness. Go in and change his clothes and prepare for his burial."
"Yes."
Although she was the one who personally sent Mr. Lin to his death, Mrs. Bai still felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart.
She covered her chest and walked forward, one step, two steps... But when she noticed something warm liquid dripping from her nose, she was slightly stunned and looked down.
"Madam? Ah! Madam, what's wrong with you?"
Luoluo was originally helping Xianxian to get something, but she never expected to see Mrs. Bai bleeding from her mouth and nose.
She hurriedly began to call for help, but it was too late, even if a doctor helped Mrs. Bai in time to stop the spread of the poison.
But it still couldn't stop her body from being destroyed. She felt waves of pain in her chest, as if someone was stabbing it with a knife.
Zhu Zhengjun grabbed the doctor and asked, "What's going on? What happened to my wife?"
"Mrs. Bai is poisoned. Even if I have suppressed the poison temporarily, it will only last for three or two days at most."
The implication is that Mrs. Bai will not survive more than three days. The poison has penetrated into her bones and there is no cure.
Zhu Zhengjun grabbed the doctor in disbelief.
"How is it possible? Are you mistaken? How could something happen to the lady? Poison? What kind of poison?"
Even though Zhu Zhengjun seemed not to care about Madam Bai, he still wouldn't dare to believe it if Madam Bai was about to die.
This is a real person.
You were talking to yourself yesterday, but today you said you were going to die?
The doctor shook his head and sighed, "It's the last gasp of a spent force. The poison is too fierce and violent, and it directly hit Mrs. Bai's heart, lungs and internal organs. It's been painful for her to live these two days."
Mrs. Bai on the bed had slowly woken up, but she just stared at the pattern on the bed curtains without saying a word.
Are you really going to die?
Xianxian didn't expect Mr. Lin to be so cruel.
When he found out that Madam Bai wanted to kill him, he decided to take Madam Bai with him to die.
Zhu Zhengjun said absentmindedly, "I'm still not as cruel as him. He's still thinking of dragging my wife to die with him at this time. It's really too cruel."
Bai Rui and Zheng Qingyun were slightly stunned.
I have just heard who poisoned Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin was killed by Mrs. Bai with a cup of poisoned wine.
But before he died, he still wanted to take Mrs. Bai with him.
"Am I going to die?"
When Zhu Zhengjun heard the voice, he rushed over and couldn't help crying for her at this moment.
This is the woman I have loved for half my life, even if I still have complaints about her.
But when he saw that she was dying, the resentment dissipated a lot.
"Madam, you will not die. You are a blessed person. Our grandchildren are about to be born, and Beiling will be born soon. How can you leave us and go alone?"
It’s one thing not to like Mrs. Bai.
But watching Mrs. Bai die is another matter. Sometimes a death can dispel all grudges.
Mrs. Bai raised her hand and gently stroked Zhu Zhengjun's face.
"You don't hate me anymore? You don't blame me anymore? You don't think I'm biased?"
"Madam, I used to really hate and resent you, thinking that you were partial to Mr. Lin. Why did you marry me when you already had him? Now I have let it go."
"My child is already this big, why should I think so much?"
Zhu Zhengjun smiled bitterly and said, "I just hope that my family will be safe and sound. If you really die, won't I become a widower?"
Looking at Zhu Zhengjun worrying about him.
Although Mrs. Bai was in physical pain, she felt indescribably happy in her heart.
See it.
He still cares about himself, otherwise he wouldn't be so sad.
But if Xianxian knew what she was thinking, she would only laugh at her for thinking too much.
Ordinary people who have raised cats and dogs for more than ten years will probably still cry bitterly when they die, let alone a wife whom they have slept in the same bed with for more than ten years?
Madam Bai said with all her might, "You should hate and blame me. There were indeed many mixed feelings when I married you."
"But after so many years, my feelings for you are no longer just exploitation."
I heard Mrs. Bai admit that she was biased and that she married me for a purpose.
Zhu Zhengjun didn't feel angry.
Because he already knew it.
Now he no longer needs to deceive himself.
Mrs. Bai continued, "You are a good father and a good husband. I am sorry for you."
"I feel sorry for many people, including the deceased Wang Zhengjun and Zhou Langjun. Wang Zhengjun died because of me, and Zhou Langjun just treated him as a substitute for Wang Zhengjun."
As expected, when a dying man is about to speak good words, Mrs. Bai confessed all her faults.
She knew she was wrong.
This made Zhu Zhengjun feel even more relieved.
Zhu Zhengjun held Mrs. Bai's hand tightly with tears in his eyes.
"Ma'am, please stop talking. You are already very weak. If you continue talking, it will not do any good to your body."
This is just mercy for the dying.
If Mrs. Bai didn't have to die at this time, Zhu Zhengjun would definitely quickly wipe away his tears.
But there is no if, Mrs. Bai is really dying.
Large amounts of blood foam overflowed from the corners of her mouth.
But Madam Bai was still mumbling, "He is so cruel. The poison he used on me was so painful. It turns out that under his cold appearance, he actually hides such cruelty. I was wrong at the beginning."
Lin Langjun was such a person from the beginning to the end. Once he set his eyes on a target, he would lurk and wait for an opportunity to hunt. Wang Zhengjun's death could not have been an accident.
Bai Mei withdrew her gaze without any sadness, but just felt that her father was not worth it.
It's really not worth it to sacrifice two lives for a woman like this.
At this moment, Mrs. Bai stopped vomiting blood, but she raised her voice and called the names of the three sisters.
The three sisters came forward to the bedside, and Mrs. Bai looked at them deeply.
"Bai Mei, it was because of my mother's confusion that I harmed your father, but I am also very sad."
"I know you've been resenting me all these years and have always been unwilling to get close to me. Mei'er, can you forgive your mother?"
Before she died, she asked for Bai Mei's forgiveness.
But Bai Mei remained silent. She gently lifted the strands of hair on her forehead, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.
"Forgive? Why should I forgive you? Mother, you know you are wrong, why do you still ask for my forgiveness?"
"You should ask your father to forgive you, not me to forgive you."
"It was you who had an affair with Mr. Lin, which caused my father to have a difficult childbirth and two deaths. But you still welcomed Mr. Lin into the family to annoy me. I, your daughter, really cannot do this without regrets."
"Every time you protect him and get close to him, it just makes me feel that you are not worthy of being a mother."
The room was silent, with only Mrs. Bai's heavy breathing and Bai Mei's desperate accusations.
The expectation in Mrs. Bai's eyes faded, and she collapsed in Zhu Zhengjun's arms.
"I was delusional, Mei'er, mother is sorry for you."
At this time, Madam Bai looked at Xianxian, "Shuang'er, do you hate your mother?"
I thought I would get the answer I wanted, but Xianxian just shook her head slightly.
"Mother, I can't forgive you. Father cried so much that his pillow was soaked with tears late at night, and I saw how much you loved your third sister. I really can't forgive you."
"Why are they all your daughters, but you only have eyes for my third sister? My father is obviously your legitimate husband, so why do you only favor Mr. Lin? Even though he has made so many mistakes, you have never blamed him."
"My father, it's just that I used inappropriate words. You often scold and ridicule me."
Listening to his daughter seeking justice for him, Zhu Zhengjun gritted his teeth and did not let himself cry.
Xianxian is not a kind-hearted person. If she were to die, she would die with pain and regret.
Such a failed mother does not deserve to die with no regrets and happiness.
Finally, Mrs. Bai looked at her third daughter.
"What about you? Rui'er, do you hate me?"
This time Bai Rui shook her head, "I don't hate you."
Because I am not your daughter. I am just a stranger who has taken over your daughter's identity. I have no right to hate you.
After hearing Bai Rui's words, Mrs. Bai showed a little relief in her eyes, and then she lay quietly on the bed, only asking Zhu Zhengjun to stay and chat with her.
All the enemies who killed her father died overnight, and Bai Mei didn't know how she felt.
But she went to burn a stick of incense at Wang Zhengjun's ancestral temple.
Bai Rui asked with some concern, "Second sister, is mother going to die? What about your imperial examination? You will have to observe mourning for three years and cannot take the imperial examination during this period."
She really didn't expect that Mrs. Bai was so cruel that she actually drugged Mr. Lin directly. She didn't expect that Mr. Lin had a backup plan and even dragged Mrs. Bai to take the blame for him before he died.
Xianxian looked at Bai Rui and comforted her, "Don't think too much. I know my limits. I may be busy these days, so you should have a good rest when you go back."
"it is good."
Looking at Bai Rui's leaving back, Xianxian was not worried about her scientific examination.
Since he cannot take part in the imperial examinations during the mourning period, he can manage the Bai family's business well.
Finally, Mrs. Bai passed away, and before she died, she held Zhu Zhengjun tightly.
This made Zhu Zhengjun unable to eat or sleep well for several days.
When the person was alive, Zhu Zhengjun really didn't think it was a big deal, but when Mrs. Bai died like this, he began to miss her when he saw the things.
In order to prevent Zhu Zhengjun from becoming depressed, Xianxian suggested that he should go out to relax after Mrs. Bai's burial, and not stay in the house in a depressed mood.
So Zhu Zhengjun went out for a walk, and after he came back he never mentioned Mrs. Bai again.
Because Zhen Beiling was about to give birth, his focus was on Zhen Beiling.
When Zhu Zhengjun heard that Lord Zhou was coming to visit Zhenbei Mausoleum, he realized that he had not taken good care of Lord Zhou.
It is really unacceptable that he became a widower before he turned twenty.
The other party was brought into the mansion by himself. If we just give up on him now, wouldn't we be wasting his time in vain?
Zhu Zhengjun looked at Zhou Langjun and asked, "Do you still want to go home?"
Come back home?
Zhou Changyi was stunned and shook his head. "Zheng Jun, I was born in poverty. I had the opportunity to serve the Madam because of my appearance. Now if I go back, I will only face being sold for the second time. I don't want to go back."
Originally, Zhu Zhengjun wanted Zhou Changyi to return home and give him more money to support himself, which could be considered as doing good deeds.
But now Zhou Changyi doesn't want to go home.
He could only sigh and say, "Forget it, I have misled you after all."
Mrs. Bai’s death also took away Zhu Zhengjun’s violent temper.
Zhu Zhengjun has been very stable these days and is no longer as irritable as before.
How can it not be peaceful?
Bai Mei treats Zhu Zhengjun as her real father, and because of her poor health she will not compete with Xianxian for the family property.
Bai Rui chose to separate from the family and move out early, so she is not eligible to share the family property with Xianxian.
In the Bai family, Xianxian is the only one who is in charge. Who wouldn't respect Xianxian?
When his grandchildren are born, Zhu Zhengjun will be promoted to old grandfather.
Zhou Changyi shook his head gently, "How could it be? How could Zhengjun mislead me? If it weren't for Zhengjun, I might have fallen into the land of smoke and willows."
"Zheng Jun saved me. Now I have no worries about food and drink in my mansion. My life is much more comfortable than outside."
Zhu Zhengjun still has some good feelings towards the obedient Zhou Changyi.
He assured Zhou Changyi, "Don't worry, as long as I'm alive, no one will bully you. You will still be the master of the Bai Mansion in the future. I will let Shuangshuang take care of you in your old age."
"Okay, thank you Masaru-kun."
It would be his great honor just to see the Second Young Lady happy.
A few months later, Zhen Beiling gave birth, and Zhu Zhengjun finally got to hold his granddaughter as he wished.
Looking at the little baby wrapped in red cloth, Zhu Zhengjun couldn't help holding the baby in his arms.
"Okay, that's great."
Zhou Changyi, who was standing beside him, also had a loving expression on his face, "The eldest lady is so beautiful, she looks a lot like the second wife."
"Yes, I have adopted so many children, but the eldest daughter is the most fair and clean. You can tell at a glance that she is a blessed child."
Listening to the praises from the people around him, Zhu Zhengjun looked up for Xianxian's figure.
But he found that Xianxian was not there.
He couldn't help but ask, "Where is the second wife? Why did she disappear without a care for her own child?"
At this time, Luluo replied, "Old Master, Madam has gone into the delivery room because she is too worried about Zhengjun."
