Chapter 428 Desolate
Without any hesitation, Mrs. Wu was the first to jump off the carriage and go along the muddy ground. A gust of wind blew by, and her thin body almost fell to the ground. Thanks to the help of the second master, she barely stood up. stable.

The whole family and a few servants walked on the path in the field with great difficulty. Lu Shuyi felt that the shoes under her feet were already filled with mud, and her skirt was also full of mud, so heavy that it seemed to fall off.

It was a very short journey, but they were extremely tormented.

After about a quarter of an hour, they gradually saw the village in front of them clearly, and tenants and stewards in coir raincoats and bamboo hats hurriedly came to greet them.

Seeing the steward, Mrs. Wu asked with a cold face, "Why is my aunt so ill that you ask a doctor to treat her? Didn't I send a message last time to ask you to find a doctor to see her earlier?"

The manager of the farm was surnamed Liu, and he looked like a submissive person, so he immediately bowed his head and defended, "It's indeed my aunt's sudden illness..."

"You're talking nonsense. It's obvious that you didn't see her doctor, and you said that she was in a hurry. Excuses, all of them are excuses." Lu Shufang's eyes were red. After so much, who treats her well and who treats her badly Well, she has also seen through the coldness of the world, and she can trust Wu's conduct.

Guanshi Liu looked embarrassed, but secretly wondered in his heart, saying that Mrs. Wu and Aunt An were not on good terms, and that Aunt An almost killed her, shouldn't she be happy now that Aunt An is dead?Why rush to see him off?

He sighed secretly in his heart, the woman's mind was really unpredictable.

The Second Master Lu's expression was solemn, he persuaded Mrs. Wu and Lu Shufang to ask questions, and only asked the steward to take them to see Aunt An.

The steward didn't dare to neglect, and hastily turned around to lead the way.

Aunt An lives in a courtyard house, which is the kind of courtyard house unique to farmers. It is no bigger than the big houses in the town, but it looks quite spacious.

A group of people hurried into the yard. The yard was covered with weeds as tall as a person, and the eyes were full of desolation, as if they had not been inhabited for several years.

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Wu and Mr. Lu frowned at the same time.

Looking at these alone is enough to judge what Aunt An's daily life is like.

The manager's face was full of uneasiness, but Master Lu and Mrs. Wu didn't say anything, but went straight to the house where Aunt An lived.

The moment the door was pushed open, everyone was shocked. In the originally spacious room, all kinds of tattered rags and firewood were piled up everywhere. I didn’t know what the rags were used for. A chamber pot that was so dirty that its original appearance could no longer be seen, a stench of stench came from inside.

Lu Shuyi suddenly felt her stomach was overwhelmed, and she almost vomited out, but fortunately she controlled it in time, so she didn't lose her composure.

This scene was so shocking that the second master and Mrs. Wu were dumbfounded and couldn't recover for a long time.

But Guanshi Liu murmured: "The old lady Gou who came with me to serve my aunt has disappeared early this morning, maybe she ran away early, and it's not easy for me to come in and clean up my aunt's room... "

"Shut up." The Second Master Lu couldn't listen anymore, he just said coldly: "Get out, get out as far as you can in the future."

It seemed that they heard the sound of the door, and suddenly there was a very weak "ah... ah..." sound from inside.

Lu Shufang recognized Aunt An's voice, and she rushed in tremblingly: "Mother, my brother and I came to see you..."

Lu Wenru also followed with red eyes, and the siblings gathered around a broken couch in the middle.

Lu Shuyi winked at the rough maidservants behind her, and said in a low voice: "It's good to clean this place once, and don't let a single corner go." Then she ordered: "There is firewood in this room, first light some firewood inside." Heap, let Auntie warm up."

The maidservants didn't dare to dislike her, and left in response.

Mrs. Wu was so upset that she followed Master Lu one after the other, and Lu Shuyi followed closely behind, not forgetting to tell Dongmei: "Go to the kitchen and see, if it works, you can use it. Order someone to cook a pot of hot porridge for my aunt to get rid of the cold."

Aunt An originally wanted to wait for death quietly while lying on the couch, but suddenly she heard the voice of the person she had been thinking about day and night, and then heard the voice of her daughter and son, she was completely taken aback, Thinking that she heard it wrong, when she struggled to look up, she found that there were already two shadows pounced on her bed, crying and calling her mother.

A pair of dead fish-like eyes suddenly became lively, and a trace of vitality appeared on the pale and withered cheeks. She was surprised but hoarse and her throat was very weak: "Ah... ah..." The voice, skinny fingers lightly touched Lu Shufang's cheeks, and a drop of tears rolled down the emaciated cheeks so unexpectedly...

This scene, even those who are born with a hard heart will be moved by it.

Wu's eyes were already filled with tears, and she quickly covered her eyes with a handkerchief.

Master Lu Er raised his hand and patted his shoulder lightly, hesitating and finally walked to the side of the couch.

In just one year, the originally delicate and beautiful woman has long been shriveled, with dry and messy buns, deeply sunken eye sockets, and dirty clothes. Everything looks so messed up. Who would have thought of her? What about Aunt An, who used to be mellow and beautiful?
"Don't bother crying, let the doctor treat her first." Second Master Lu said lightly, with a twisted expression on his face.In fact, he was also shocked by this scene, and he felt a little pain in his heart. After all, he had slept in the same bed before, and there should be affection if there is no love.

Hearing this voice, Aunt An's eyes full of tears finally turned. When she saw Master Lu Er in front of her, she was at a loss like a child, and hurriedly raised her hands to tidy up the mess like a chicken coop. With a bun, the other hand is very embarrassed to pull the dirty clothes on his body.

However, when she found out that even if she pulled it again, those clothes would not be able to add a sliver of splendor to her, so she withdrew her hand sadly, turned her head and looked out of the window in a panic...

Lu Shuyi watched all this with mixed feelings in her heart.

Aunt An's love for the second master is not inferior to Mrs. Wu's, but it's a pity that she used the wrong thoughts and went the wrong way...

You can only bear all the consequences by yourself.

The doctor behind has already rushed over to check Aunt An's pulse. Aunt An remained silent, but the blood vessels on her thin wrists were bulging, which was terrifying.

The doctor changed his left hand and his right hand again, repeated this twice, then shook his head helplessly and said: "The old man is helpless, my aunt has already lost her internal organs, and she is powerless..." Shaking his head, he stood up and said goodbye.
