The Lucky Bride Is Pretty And Delicate

477 Something Edible

Mrs. Su arrived outside Duke Xu’s Mansion and was led in by the servant.

Madam. Xu had also lost a lot of weight during this period. She looked tired and listless. She smiled at Mrs. Su with difficulty and opened her mouth. “Mrs. Su.”

Mrs. Su did not beat around the bush. She said bluntly, “Madam Xu, I’m here today to introduce someone from the Mystic world to you. I don’t know if you will trust me, but as a mother, I know your feelings too well.”

Madam Xu felt a lump in her throat. She held back her tears and said, “Mrs. Su, tell me quickly. I trust you. As long as you can save my son, I’m willing to pay any price.”

The incense she offered had suddenly stopped working. She did not know what was going on. Xu Lin could not even drink water. She had witnessed with her eyes how her son lost weight bit by bit. How could she stand it?

Seeing Xu Lin debilitating visibly, her heart was always in a tight knot and she was also feeling terrible. She was willing to try everything just to save her son.

Xu Yue was invited over to take a look at Xu Lin. However, he said that there was nothing he could do. He could only inject some power into Xu Lin to make him feel better temporarily.

Yuan Hui said that life and death were up to fate and asked her to learn to let go and accept reality.

However, how could she let go? Xu Lin was clearly being harmed by someone. If it was a natural death, she could accept it. However, she couldn’t take it lying down if her son was being harmed.

Mrs. Su looked at Madam Xu’s devastated expression and slowly said, “Have you heard of Miss Liu? She’s a master recruited by the Xuanyi Department. She was the one who helped solve the case of Qian Jin in March as well as Miao Yin and Suzhai Pavilion.”

Madam Xu frowned and interrupted Mrs. Su. “Thank you for your reminder, Mrs. Su. I know.”

Mrs. Su was stunned for a moment before she quickly understood. There was probably something that outsiders did not know. Madam Xu’s dislike towards Liu Sanniang was obvious.

Mrs. Su smiled. “It’s good that you know. Think about it carefully. My son was a victim harmed by Hui Zhen. If I hadn’t made the right decision, I’m afraid I would be suffering from the pain of losing my son now.”

She had said everything that needed to be said. As for what Madam Xu would do, that was up to her.

Seeing that Madam Xu had no intention of entertaining her, Mrs. Su didn’t stay any longer and left.

After Mrs. Su left, Madam Xu went to the main courtyard. Her heart ached as she looked at Xu Lin, who still couldn’t eat anything. She held Xu Lin’s hand and almost cried as she begged. “Lin, I beg you. Eat a little. As long as you eat, it’ll get better.”

Was it a serious illness? Not really. As long as he ate something, Xu Lin would quickly recover.

But he just couldn’t eat. She didn’t know what to do.

Xu Lin’s face was sallow, and his lips were dry and cracked. His eyes were filled with hunger, but every time food was served to him, he felt nothing but disgust.

Xu Lin was also in pain. “Mother, I’m in so much pain. I’m better off dead.”

What had he done wrong to deserve this punishment, to deserve living a life worse than death? His stomach burned and his throat was dry and painful. He wanted to eat, he was so hungry.

Madam Xu cried silently. She didn’t know what to do.

Xu Lin spoke with difficulty. “Mother, let me die. It’s too painful to live like this.”

Madam Xu broke down and cried. “No, I won’t allow you to say stupid things like this again. You’re just sick. I’ll definitely find a doctor who can treat your illness. If there’s no one in the capital, then I’ll search the entire world. I’ll definitely find one.”

Xu Lin revealed a pained expression. “I’m so hungry, so hungry…”

Madam Xu couldn’t bear to watch and staggered out.

What should she do?

Xu Lin lay on the bed. He wished he could reach into his heart and dig it out. He couldn’t describe the feeling. He wanted to die, but he couldn’t.

He could feel the vitality in his body. If it was a normal person, they would probably die in a few days without eating. He had not eaten for five to six days. He felt very hungry, but he did not feel like he was about to die.

The servants did not dare to approach him and only stood guard outside. They were afraid to see him.

Xu Lin knew what they were afraid of. They were scared that he would suddenly become a monster and eat people.

Anyone would be afraid. Even he was afraid.

In this world, the only person who was not afraid was probably his mother. She only wanted him to live.

Xu Lin’s condition did not improve. Madam Xu had lost her soul. Other than offering incense, she was also chanting in the temple hall in the mansion. The window opened with a creak. Madam Xu was startled by the sound. She found a crumpled paper ball on the floor and stood up to pick it up.

She walked to the window and looked out. The night was dark and there was nothing. She opened the paper ball. Soon, her expression changed drastically, and her hands trembled. She tore the paper apart, but she still felt uneasy. She threw the shredded paper into the candlelight and burned it.

She gritted her teeth and left the temple hall.

There were poultry in the kitchen. She didn’t know if it would work, but she couldn’t care less. Her son was suffering, and so was she.

After killing a chicken and letting the blood fill up a bowl, she carried the things over in a food box.

The servant on the night watch was dozing off. When he saw her, he jolted awake. “Madam.”

Madam Xu waved her hand. “You can leave.”

She carried the food box into the room and closed the door before walking to the bed. Xu Lin opened his eyes, his eyes filled with pain. “Mother, I really can’t take it anymore. Kill me.”

Unless one experienced it personally, one wouldn’t understand the pain he was suffering from. Who did not want to live? Even if he had almost died from a few serious illnesses, he had never thought of giving up. He also wanted to live, but now, he really wanted to die.

Dying seemed like a relief to him. This kind of torture was too much to bear.

Madam Xu broke down and resisted the urge to cry. She opened the food box with trembling hands and took out the chicken blood that had yet to solidify. “Lin, try this and see if you can swallow it.”

Xu Lin widened his eyes. “This, this is blood?”

He had never drunk blood before and subconsciously resisted it.

Madam Xu scooped a spoonful and fed it to him. “Lin, try it. I’m begging you, okay? If I don’t give up on you, you must not give up on yourself. You’re my life.”

Xu Lin’s voice was hoarse and choked. “Okay, I’ll try.”

He was already prepared to vomit. He opened his mouth and drank it. His eyes widened as he frantically snatched the bowl from Madam Xu’s hand. He was like a person who had been thirsty for hundreds of years. He drank in big mouthfuls and some blood flowed down from the corner of his mouth.

Madam Xu was stunned at first. Then, she covered her mouth and her entire body trembled. Xu Lin acted as if she didn’t exist. After drinking the blood, his gaze landed on the dead chicken. He took it out, tore off its fur, and ate it in big mouthfuls.
