The sudden change shocked Liu Zhai and his son. It was as if their hearts had skipped a beat. The two hurried over to support the old fengjun.
When the old fengjun saw their nervous expressions, she couldn't help but reveal a comfortable smile.
She knew that as the respected old fengjun of the entire family, no one dared to anger her or go against her wishes, much less her own son and grandson. As long as she was still in the Liu residence, she was the old fengjun that everyone respected and respected.
Thinking of this, the old fengjun felt much better. Her soaring blood pressure and anger started to decrease.
She shakily reached out to grab her son's hand. She was about to smile and say something, but she was too angry. A mouthful of thick phlegm surged up her throat. It rolled and didn't want to slide down and she couldn't spit it out. After a while, her ruddy face turned pale, and then from pale to dark purple. The color quickly deepened. Her thin and sharp eyes widened, and the whites of her eyes were frightening.
Her change was more serious than Liu Zhai and his son. They were even more afraid.
Liu Heng said with a pale face, "Father, grandmother is probably blocked by phlegm."
Liu Zhai hurriedly told his son to hurry the doctor. He helped the old fengjun stand up and patted her back.
Because the old fengjun was having trouble breathing, she let out a heavy and hurried sound like a wild beast.
Liu Zhai was so anxious that his eyes turned red. His hands and feet trembled, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
No matter how bad his mother was, the person in front of him was his birth mother. Now that she was in such pain, of course he didn't feel good.
Liu Heng didn't care about his appearance. He lifted his clothes and jogged to invite the doctor to the main hall.
When he arrived, he found a group of servants standing outside the main hall with their hands raised. Their expressions were sorrowful.
Liu Heng's heart skipped a beat. His lips trembled and his legs went weak as he entered the room. The tip of his feet stepped on his clothes and he stumbled forward.
The doctor carried a medical box and followed in. He saw Liu Heng almost fall and subconsciously reached out to pull him up.
"This, this …" The doctor was a guest official that Liu Zhai had specially invited to the old fengjun's residence. He was in charge of diagnosing and treating the old fengjun. If the old fengjun had a headache or fever, he would be in charge of it. He was also the one who understood the old fengjun's condition the best. "Old fengjun, this is …"
Liu Gui hugged the old Fengjun with a pale face. She only came back to her senses when she heard the doctor's voice.
"Quick, quick, let Mother take a look!"
Liu Zhai urged the doctor. The doctor glanced at the old Fengjun's appearance and came to a conclusion in his heart. He still went forward to take the old Fengjun's pulse.
The skin he touched was much lower than that of an ordinary person. There was no pulse at all. The doctor lifted the old Fengjun's eyelids to look at his pupils.
"Master, my condolences." He shook his head with a regretful expression. Liu Zhai's age could be considered to have entered old age, and it was best not to be struck by a sudden mishap and have one funeral turn into two. Thus, the doctor comforted Liu Zhai in a low voice, "Old Fengjun is also a person of seventy years of age. Now that he has passed away, it can be considered a happy funeral. Old Fengjun usually eats a lot of meat and fish. His diet is heavy and he doesn't like to move around, so he often has headaches and dizziness. Just now, his anger attacked his heart, causing his heart and lungs to be damaged. His phlegm surged up, causing him to have difficulty breathing … Master, you should prioritize your health and not have such a huge change in emotions. "
The doctor had been a doctor for many years and was very experienced. He only needed to do a simple examination to know how the old Fengjun had passed away.
The old Fengjun had lived like a prince for too long. His body was not suited for great joy or anger. Otherwise, it would be easy for his qi and blood to attack his heart, and medicine would be ineffective.
He had lived in the Liu residence for many years and knew the temperament of the few masters in the residence.
The doctor did not believe that Liu Zhai had angered the old Fengjun to death. Everyone knew how filial Liu Gui was to her mother.
The old Fengjun's reputation was not good. Everyone in the residence knew that this old woman was not willing to suffer any losses.
Even if she threw a tantrum, she would make people accommodate her.
In terms of angering someone to death, it was more likely that Liu Gui had been angered to death by this old mother.
The doctor glanced at the old Fengjun's sorry figure. The other's face was dark purple, and now it was dyed with a deathly ash-white. His slightly protruding eyes were bloodshot, and a mouthful of thick green phlegm hung from the side of his mouth. On the ground, there was a puddle of food residue and acid from his stomach.
Liu Gui only came back to her senses after a while. Tears fell from her eyes, and her teeth bit her lower lip until it was white. Sobs flowed from her throat.
Liu Heng watched from the side with worry. Grandmother had already passed away. If something happened to Father, the entire family would collapse.
Liu Gui cried for a while until she was out of breath.
However, it was better to vent her sorrow than to keep it in her heart.
After a while, Liu Gui said in a hoarse voice with a muffled sob, "Send someone to hold a funeral and set up a mourning hall."
Liu Heng was silent for a while, and then asked Liu Gui with a troubled expression.
"If we hold a funeral, was Grandmother's death due to a dream or …"
If it was a dream, then it was a normal death of old age, commonly known as death of old age.
If it wasn't for this reason, then it was an abnormal death.
It was a sensitive time, and the cause of the old Fengjun's death would cause a huge uproar.
Liu Gui raised his hand to wipe away his hot tears. He calmed himself down and instructed Liu Heng word by word.
"Mother fell into the hands of the bandits in Hejian County, and the people were attacked by the Huang bandits. They were anxious and fearful, and their old illness was triggered. Unfortunately, they passed away."
Liu Heng's eyes widened slightly, as if he was seeing his father for the first time.
Liu Gui seemed to understand his son's meaning. His lips twitched weakly, and he said as if he was crying, "If I don't say that, then should I tell the truth?"
Liu Heng instantly understood his father's painstaking efforts.
As long as outsiders saw the old Fengjun's body, they would know that she had died an abnormal death. At such a sensitive time, it was hard to guarantee that no one would make an issue of it. Jiang Pengji was now independent. If someone intentionally misled her, Jiang Pengji would be labeled as "unfilial, disobedient, and infuriating Grandmother to death." Huang Song would definitely make an issue of it and use this point to attack Jiang Pengji, causing her to lose all standing and reputation.
If that was the case, there would be no room for reconciliation between her and Lady Liu. It would be good if she didn't bear a grudge against her.
Although Jiang Pengji had become independent, they were still of the same ancestor. If the bones were broken, the tendons were still connected.
If they helped Huang Song attack Jiang Pengji, what benefits would they get in the end?
Of course, if the benefits Huang Song offered were greater than what Jiang Pengji could offer, they could consider switching sides.
However, the reality was that helping Huang Song was far inferior to helping Jiang Pengji.
To prevent Huang Song's men from making an issue of the old Fengjun's death, the Liu residence had to be the first to close the coffin and determine the cause of the old Fengjun's death!
"Yes, your son will do it now."
Countless thoughts flashed through Liu Heng's mind. He didn't dare to delay and immediately dealt with the funeral.
The old Fengjun was over seventy years old. In the words of a physician, this age was considered a happy funeral. The residence had already made mental preparations and prepared a coffin and other things. Although the death was sudden, the residence was still in order. The cause of the old Fengjun's death was also spread.
