Chapter 77
In the abandoned yard in the backyard, Zhou's mother was lying on the bed and calling with difficulty.

The last time she was kicked by Zhou's father, she had a heart and lung problem, and she has been coughing all the time, and it hasn't improved until today.

She was locked in this abandoned yard and couldn't get out, and she didn't even have to eat every day, let alone invite a doctor.

At the beginning, she was still hoping that her husband would change his mind.

But after a few days, she gradually gave up.

She has never suffered such a hardship. Even if there was an accident in the Yongning Hou Mansion before, Yuan Zhao took good care of them and never made her suffer.

Now, even her daily food has become a problem, and she can't hold on any longer.

Finally, taking advantage of the food delivery, she asked Zhou Shiyuan to come and see her.

She couldn't count on her husband, but luckily she still had a son.

However, Zhou's mother waited for several days but failed to wait for her son.

Finally, while the meal was being delivered, she grabbed the person and asked him. The person looked at her with pity and said:
"The prince said that his mother is dead."

Hearing this, Zhou's mother felt like her sky was falling.

She didn't believe that Zhou Shiyuan said this, how could it be possible?
That was her son, she was worried every day that he would not have enough food and clothing, and she was planning for him every day.

But now, he actually said that he was dead.

"No, I don't believe it, you damn slave dare to lie to me."

The person who delivered the food had good intentions, but he was scolded by others, and he was even annoyed.

She pushed Mother Zhou away, and said disdainfully:
"Do you think you are still Madam Hou?"

"Letting you live here is already the grace of Mrs. Shizi."

After finishing speaking, the servant girl gave her a cold bite and left. She didn't come to deliver food for two days after she left.

Zhou's mother never knew that people can be so hungry. She used to dislike the daily meals that were all leftovers.

However, now she felt that those leftovers were delicacies.

She yelled for two days but no one answered her, and she couldn't get out. In the end, she was so hungry that she started eating weeds in the yard.

Today, she could hear the excitement outside while lying in bed.

She doesn't know what spring feast is, no matter how lively it is outside, it has nothing to do with her. Now she just wants to have a full meal.

As if hearing her voice, the door that hadn't been opened for two days finally opened, and the maid who delivered the food walked in.

Seeing her, Zhou's mother couldn't care less about censure and the like, and quickly grabbed the food box in her hand, not even using the chopsticks, and started eating in big mouthfuls.

Today's meal was quite sumptuous. She wouldn't have thought highly of it before, but now it's considered a state banquet.

Mother Zhou felt alive after eating two steamed buns and a chicken leg.

She paused for a moment and asked:

"What's going on outside today? It's so lively."

The maid heard the words and said:

"Today is the spring banquet held in the mansion, and many people were entertained."

"Mrs. Shizi hasn't forgotten you, she specially asked me to bring some delicious food over."

Spring feast?
Zhou's mother was stunned for a moment, she felt that these were far away from her, and she couldn't even remember what she was like when she attended the banquet before.

Hearing what the servant girl said, she said angrily:

"Who used her to pretend to be kind?"

Even as she said this, her hand was firmly holding the food box.

She didn't know where to eat the next meal.

Chicken drumsticks have now become the most wonderful food in her mind.

When the maid saw her like this, she had a look of contempt on her face.

"It's not an exaggeration to soak the pigsty in the shameful things you did. Mrs. Shizi saved your life, and you still don't know how to be grateful."

"The ungrateful thing!"

"I didn't! You're talking nonsense!"

Mother Zhou's face turned red with anger, and her coughing became worse as she became anxious.

The maid took a few steps back in disgust and said disdainfully:
"If I really didn't do it, I would have died long ago."

"Pooh!"

After finishing speaking, the maid grabbed the food box, turned around and left.

Mother Zhou wanted to chase her, but she had no strength. She coughed violently and coughed up blood.

Desire to die?

That day, she really thought about proving her innocence with death so that she could gain a good reputation and be good for her son and daughter.

However, after being imprisoned for more than ten days, Zhou Shiyuan's behavior chilled her heart. He didn't recognize her as his mother, so why should she die for him?

Besides, she didn't dare to die.

In the past ten days or so, she has lived in such a difficult way, the more difficult it is, the more she is afraid of death.

Listening to the voices of people outside the yard, tears kept dripping from Zhou's mother's eyes.

If she hadn't treated Yuan Zhao like that, wouldn't she have ended up like this now?

She can also sit among those noble ladies and be sought after.

And the most ironic thing is that she has come to this point, and there is only one Yuan Zhao who cares about her life and death.
