Chapter 1674: Chapter 1612: Shameless
Seeing that Madam Zhou not only refused to deal with Zhou Xuennianâs death, but also wanted to drive her and her children back to Wozi Village without care, Madam Luâs anger surged within her. She had been waiting for this day; she simply wanted to discard their family.
The anger gave birth to courage.
"Zhou Meiniang, are you so heartless? Thatâs your own brother, can you just watch him die unjustly without caring?" Madam Lu impulsively spewed venomous words, fueled by her rage: "Zhou Meiniang, how can your heart be so dark? Thatâs your dear brother, he died wrongfully, and you havenât shed a tear or stood up for him. Can you still call yourself human? Arenât you afraid of Heaven above?"
"Enough!" Purple Jade shouted.
Madam Lu flung off Zhou Xiuerâs hand that was desperately pulling her, and said, "Go on, scream and curse. If you have the guts, kill me. Anyway, we canât survive; killing us would mean we reunite with the dead. Zhou Meiniang, youâre so ruthless; no wonder youâll give birth prematurely. Heaven surely canât stand it anymore. Just wait; you wonât even be able to give birth..."
Slap! Slap!
Like the wind, Purple Jade came over and slapped Madam Lu twice on her face, then drew out a Soft Sword from her waist, pointed it at Madam Luâs throat, her expression fierce: "Do you think I donât dare to kill you?"
Indeed, one shouldnât have too much sympathy, especially for such a bizarre creature. It was for considering she just lost her husband that she spoke kindly, but this person is ungrateful!
The Green Sword, gleaming coldly, was right in front of her, at her throat. Madam Lu was so frightened that her legs began to tremble, her whole body shivering, yet she still spoke bravely, but timidly: "You, you dare? Killing someone deserves retribution!"
Purple Jade sneered, "Youâre right, I donât dare, but..." She swung the sword, slicing Madame Luâs hair bun.
With a clink, the silver ornaments fell, and some strands of hair scattered on the ground, the bun already undone.
Madam Lu began to scream, her eyes rolling, and a foul stench wafted out.
Zhou Xiuer turned pale with fright.
"Not killing you is to avoid shedding blood before Madam." Purple Jade sneered, just about to say more, when Qiu Xiang urgently called for Madam Zhou from behind.
Purple Jade looked back, only to see Madam Zhou holding her stomach, her face pale.
"Drag them out." Purple Jade instructed the maid, pointing at Madam Lu and her group: "Lock them in the wood storage!"
"What, Purple Jade, you wretched maid, you dare... mmm." Madam Luâs mouth was gagged, and she was dragged away.
"Aunt." Zhou Xiuer just glanced at Madam Zhou and called out once, but dared not say more, as Madam Zhouâs face was truly terrifying.
Madam Zhou gasped heavily, looked at Purple Jade, and asked, "What, what premature birth?"
Purple Jade reassured her, "Madam, donât worry, sheâs just so anxious that sheâs speaking nonsense."
"Youâre still hiding from me." Madam Zhou frowned, "Was it that Senior Doctor who said it, said Iâm going to have a premature birth? So Iâve been taking fetus-preserving medicine these days."
"Madam..."
But Qiu Xiang suddenly screamed, pointing to Madam Zhouâs lower body, her hands trembling.
Madam Zhou and Purple Jade looked at the same time, seeing the plain dress stained red, their hearts sank.
"Go call the doctor, find the Midwife, prepare fetus-preserving medicine." Purple Jade immediately instructed Qiu Xiang, then came forward, saying, "Madam, let me carry you into the room."
Madam Zhou felt a bit panicked, feeling her stomach dropping with waves of pain, so she nodded, and let Purple Jade carry her into the bedchamber.
