"Xia 'er, my condolences!" After hearing Chen Xia's words, most of the people did not dare to make a sound. However, a dozen figures still walked out from the crowd. Among them, an old man with a triangular head was the first to console him.
"Third Uncle, my son is not dead yet. Isn't it too early for you to say that?" Beside Chen Xia, a beautiful woman raised her opinion rather discontentedly.
Jin Xiu, Chen Jiu's mother. She looked very weak as if a gust of wind would blow her over. She was very pitiful.
"Jin Xiu, I was against your marriage back then. If it wasn't for Xia 'er's insistence, how could you have married into our Chen family? As expected, you gave birth to a good-for-nothing son and cut off Xia 'er's excellent inheritance. Now that this good-for-nothing is going to die, how can you still have the face to continue living? "This Third Uncle was not polite as he scolded Jin Xiu.
"Third Brother, your words are too harsh!" The other elders tried to persuade him, but it was obvious that they did not have a good attitude towards Jin Xiu.
In fact, this was not the first time something like this had happened. Jin Xiu had married into the Chen family. Because of her weak body, she had always been opposed by many of the Chen family's higher-ups. After all, if a family wanted to be strong, they first needed to have an excellent bloodline.
Because she loved Chen Xia deeply, Jin Xiu turned a blind eye to these people's faces and tried her best to ignore them. Finally, she became pregnant and her status rose. However, when Chen Jiu was born, that good-for-nothing body almost made her despair.
That's right, as a woman, Jin Xiu valued her husband and her son. She wanted to give birth to a genius to shut these people's mouths, but the heavens were blind, and she still gave birth to a trash. This made her disheartened, and she wanted to end it all by killing herself!
In the end, it was Chen Xia's love and Chen Jiu's family that kept her. She also placed her heart on her son and silently endured for so many years.
"I …" Jin Xiu's face was flushed. Her body swayed as if she had suffered a great blow.
"Third Uncle, since you despise my wife and son, why did you come here to visit? Please leave, I don't welcome you here!" As the clan leader, Chen Xia was naturally an indomitable man. At the crucial moment, he did not hesitate to stand up for Jin Xiu.
"Xia 'er, it doesn't matter if I leave. I just don't want you to be burdened by a woman like her for the rest of your life!" The old man sighed, shook his head, and left without saying anything else.
"Xia 'er, don't be angry. Chen Lie's temper is just like that. He wants the tribe to be strong too much, so he's a little extreme!" At this moment, a benevolent old man with a white beard stepped forward to explain. Only then did the situation calm down.
Yes, although many people did not like Jin Xiu and her son, Chen Xia was standing there after all, so they still had to give them face. It was rare to see someone like Chen Lie who directly opposed them!
"Father, come in with me!" Chen Xia didn't say much and led the group of people in.
Inside the house, a beautiful woman was taking care of Chen Jiu in a panic. She kept applying a towel to his forehead. However, the steam rising from his forehead did not seem like she was applying the towel to a human body!
"How long has he been running such a high fever?" After all, it was his own grandson. The benevolent old man immediately came to check on him.
"He just started running a fever. He fell ill three days ago!" Chen Xia replied with heartache.
"Three days ago? Wasn't that right after Jiu 'er's wedding? "The old man frowned, obviously remembering something." What happened three days ago? How did he fall ill all of a sudden? "
"We just came here and don't know much about it. Let's ask Ruoying!" Following Chen Xia's words, everyone's gaze naturally turned to Song Ruoying.
"Ah, I …" Song Ruoying exclaimed. She was really shocked. Although she was married, she was only sixteen years old. She had never experienced such a situation before. She was very nervous.
Chen Jiu, you dead man, you've caused me so much trouble. Could it be that he left on his own during the wedding night? Song Ruoying didn't dare to say that. If people knew that it was because of this that caused him to freeze, then she wouldn't be able to get away with it!
"Ruoying, what happened to my son that night?" Jin Xiu reprimanded. She was also anxious to know the situation.
"I … We just slept that night. My husband said that he wanted to go out for some fresh air. Then, I don't know why he fell ill …" Song Ruoying could only try her best to act like a virtuous daughter-in-law under everyone's gaze.
"He's burning up like this after a nap. Could it be that Chen Jiu's body is too weak and he can't stand such a beautiful wife?" Immediately, a brawny man analyzed. In an instant, Song Ruoying was almost embarrassed to death.
"I don't think it's that simple. It's said that Song Ruoying doesn't like Chen Jiu. It's hard to say if the Song Family didn't do something …" Another middle-aged man said coldly.
"I didn't …" Song Ruoying tried her best to explain. Her face was flushed red. Under the pressure of this group of people, she felt that the pressure was unbearable. If she was implicated, not only her, but the Song Family would also suffer.
"Water … water …" Just when everyone was pointing the spearhead at Song Ruoying and making her unable to breathe, Chen Jiu suddenly moved.
"Ah, my husband, what did you say? You want to drink water? Okay, I'll get you some water right away! "Song Ruoying hurriedly went to get water as if she had found a life-saving straw.
'Pa!' In the chaos, Song Ruoying accidentally broke the small spoon. However, she still hurriedly brought the cup to Chen Jiu's side. She put on a caring and loving appearance, but she was in a difficult position.
Without the small spoon, Chen Jiu was lying down. Song Ruoying couldn't pour the water directly into his mouth, right? Moreover, there were so many people watching. If she didn't do it well, it would affect the survival of her family!
She made up her mind. As if to dispel everyone's doubts about her, Song Ruoying drank a mouthful of water first and kissed Chen Jiu.
Feeding water with his own mouth, this scene really made everyone dumbfounded, and they all seemed a little embarrassed!
"Uh …" Chen Jiu woke up slightly at this time. When he saw the beautiful face in front of him and felt the fragrance in his mouth, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Unexpectedly, no matter how hard Chen Jiu racked his brains, he would never have thought that Song Ruoying, who scolded him and hated him so much, would take the initiative to kiss him.
However, it was so fragrant and soft. With such luck in front of him, no man could ignore it. Even Chen Jiu was intoxicated for a short time and gently sucked.
