Minglan is reborn, this time with no regrets!

That night, the bed in Wang Ruofu's room shook all night long.

On the second day, Sheng Hong took leave for the first time because he could not go out to attend court.

Until dinner, Sheng Hong still did not show up to eat with the family. Old Madam Sheng finally couldn't help asking, "Where is Hong'er?"

Wang Ruofu hesitated: "Master...he had a headache, so he had his meal in the room..."

Old Madam Sheng: "Did you ask a doctor to come and see you?"

Wang Ruofu: "I said I wanted to invite you, but the master said no..."

Old Madam Sheng: "I'll go see him later."

Wang Ruofu hurriedly said, "No, no, it's not necessary, mother. It's really nothing."

Old Madam Sheng: "Your husband has been an official for decades and has never taken a day off. How can you say it's nothing serious when he behaves so abnormally today?"

Wang Ruofu: "But...but this is what the master said...I can only obey his orders..."

Old Mrs. Sheng didn't say anything more to her. After dinner, she came into the room and saw Sheng Hong lying on the bed, his face flushed and covered in sweat, with several layers of quilts covering him.

The old lady called out softly, "Hong'er?"

Sheng Hong responded vaguely.

The old lady reached out her hand and touched his forehead. She was shocked and said, "It's as hot as charcoal. Why don't you call a doctor?"

Wang Ruofu couldn't stop it, and a doctor soon came to the house. While taking Sheng Hong's pulse, Hai Chaoyun and Chang Dong both surrounded Sheng Hong's bed.

After the doctor took Wang Ruofu's pulse, he looked at her hesitantly and said, "I want to examine you, sir. Can you please ask everyone else to step aside first?"

Hai Chaoyun was about to give birth. When she heard what the doctor said, she did not stay for long and immediately bowed and left.

Chang Dong insisted, "I am my father's son. I can help if I stay!"

Wang Ruofu chased him away: "Hey, the doctor told you to stay away, why are you always causing trouble?"

Seeing the doctor's expression, the old lady guessed that the situation was a bit complicated, and said to Changdong patiently, "Go down first. Your family will call you if they need you."

After Changdong and the maids were driven away, Wang Ruofu and the old lady were the only ones left in the room. The old lady said to the doctor, "I am already half buried in the ground. There is nothing I cannot hear. Sir, just take care of my son."

So the doctor lifted the quilt...

……

The old lady's anxious expression turned into astonishment...

……

Wang Ruofu lowered her head guiltily...

……

The doctor covered Sheng Hong with the quilt again and shook his head, saying, "Master Sheng is not sick, he took a strong drug! And I guess the dosage is not small. He...he...I'm afraid..."

Old lady: “What are you afraid of?”

Doctor: "...When the vital energy is exhausted...I'm afraid the person will die..."

Wang Ruofu screamed, "How could it be! No way!"

The doctor lowered his head and sighed, "If what you said is true, Madam, the Lord has been in this condition for a day and a night, even a cow would die! Moreover, Lord Sheng must have suffered a stroke due to the surge of qi and blood, and it is difficult to feed him medicine now."

The old lady asked Wang Ruofu sternly, "What did you feed him?"

Wang Ruofu shook her head frantically: "No... I don't!"

"How could this suddenly happen without him?"

"I I I really don't know! I don't have any!"

Seeing that she could not get anything out of Wang Ruofu, the old lady turned to the doctor and asked, "Sir, you are very knowledgeable. Where does this medicine usually come from?"

Doctor: "This kind of medicine is mostly circulated in secret, and because it is extremely harmful to the body, it is generally not used on customers. It is mostly used by elderly prostitutes to entertain customers. If you use a very small amount, it may be fine after ten days or half a month; but if you use a large dose at once..."

Old lady: “What will happen then?”

Doctor: "It's like a flood from a hanging lake, there's no turning back."

The two women from the Sheng family in the room gasped at the same time.

Old lady: "Is there an antidote?"

Doctor: "If you use coptis root water to induce vomiting soon after taking it, it may be relieved. But now Lord Sheng's condition...ah...the drug has already entered his lungs, and most of his essence and blood have already dissipated...I really can't save him..."

Wang Ruofu fell onto the chair with a thud.

The old lady asked anxiously, "Is there no way to keep him alive? After all, you are talking about the leakage of the hanging lake. If there is a source of fresh water..."

The doctor shook his head and sighed, "The source of living water needs to be treated with medicinal food. Now that the master has suffered a stroke and is unconscious, it is difficult for him to take medicine, let alone treat him. In my humble opinion, the old lady and Madam Sheng, it is time to prepare funeral ceremonies for Master Sheng."

Wang Ruofu burst into tears and Old Lady Sheng fainted.

……

Late at night, Changbai returned home and was shocked to hear the bad news. He rushed to Weiruixuan to ask Wang Ruofu to explain the reason. After all, his father had been so cautious in his life. How could he do such a thing when the Sheng family was thriving? But Wang Ruofu just cried and shouted "I don't know", and he couldn't get anything out of her.

Mother Liu cried and went to pull Changbai: "Brother, brother! After all, this is the master's private matter. No matter how sad you are, you should think about the master's reputation. If this matter really gets out, the master's reputation and the Sheng family's reputation will be ruined!"

Chang Bai yelled, "Are we going to let my father be killed for no apparent reason?!"

Mother Liu: "In this kind of thing, who can tell whether it was a murder or not? After all, the master is already of this age, isn't he?" She gave it her all to protect Wang Ruofu.

Changbai was so angry that he wanted Dongrong to hit Liu's mother with a stick, but Wang Ruofu stopped him: "Hit me! If you want to hit her, then kill me first!!!"

The servant wanted to separate the master and servant, but Madam Wang somehow got her magical power from somewhere and held on to Mama Liu tightly without letting go.

Hai Chaoyun wanted to avoid it, but when she heard the servants say that Changbai and his mother were fighting, she was anxious to persuade them, but at this moment she had a stomachache - she was about to give birth!

The fight between Changbai and Wang Ruofu came to an abrupt end, and the whole family focused most of their attention on her childbirth.

Early the next morning, Changbai's eldest son, Quan Ge'er, was born.

In the afternoon, Sheng Hong died of his injuries.

Because his death was so ugly and painful, the Sheng family members kept the cause of his death a secret. Changbai, the only persistent one, was overwhelmed by the fact that many happy and sad events were happening at the same time. With Sheng Hong gone, Changbai became the new generation head of the Sheng family, and he had to preside over both happy and sad events. There was no time and space for him to force Wang Ruofu to tell the truth.

Thus, Sheng Hong, who had managed his family in a confused manner all his life, was buried in such a confused manner.

It's a pity that when he died, his face was still red and his body was still erect. He had been pursuing dignity all his life, but in the end he had no dignity when he was buried.

People outside were wondering why the Sheng family wanted to bury Sheng Hong so quickly. Only the Sheng family knew that this must be Sheng Hong's own wish:

If he could live to preside over his own funeral, he probably wouldn't want to stay in this world any longer...
