Chapter 97

Transmigrated into a cat 19 (the birth mother is the female lead of a mother-way novel)

Hatred is the best medicine; Luo Jia Ming, in order to personally go to Pingjin City to capture Mu Dan, endured the pain of rehabilitation.

He is no longer the person he once was; ever since all three of his legs were injured and, inexplicably, his whole body ached when he was drunk, he has experienced pains he had never felt in the previous thirty-plus years.

The pain of the body can be endured and will pass; what he cannot endure is the inner pain.

After returning to Pomegranate Flower Town, he had gone out before; anyone on the street who saw him would point and gossip, wanting to see what the chief eunuch looked like.

Everyone's gaze fell on his legs; they practically wanted to pull up his pant legs to examine them.

"I also heard that eunuchs often leak urine, and their bodies smell terrible…"

"Enough!" Luo Jia Ming's gloomy gaze swept over them.

Those gossiping people immediately shut up and took a detour; no matter how influential the Luo Family is in Pomegranate Flower Town, they cannot afford to offend them.

However, although one cannot say it to their face, talking behind their back is also quite enjoyable.

This outing left Luo Jia Ming's heart riddled with holes; the urge to destroy everything surged up again.

Afterward, he no longer went out, but being cooped up at home made him feel increasingly miserable.

Xu Shi could not bear to see her husband like this, tears in her eyes, she said: "Jia Ming, let's leave Pomegranate Flower Town and go somewhere no one knows us."

Pomegranate Flower Town is really too small, with only four streets; stepping outside means running into acquaintances.

Luo Jia Ming thought he could endure it, but he realized he actually couldn't; whenever he imagined his future self going out and being pointed at and scolded as a eunuch, he felt his life was utter darkness.

Xu Shi said urgently: "Anywhere will do, a big city or a small village, as long as our family can stay together."

Luo Jia Ming looked at Xu Shi; she had been kicked by him twice. The first time injured her lungs, she lay in bed for three months and coughed for a month. The second time injured her spine, and she was bedridden for another two months.

Even while injured and bedridden, she had no peace, constantly worrying about him; in just half a year, she finally took on the appearance a thirty-year-old woman should have.

Although she had given birth to four children and was no longer young, she took good care of herself, looking even younger than Mu Dan; her hair was black and lustrous, and when she was with him, she always smiled sweetly, as if she had found a treasure—perhaps in her heart, he was her treasure.

Whether it was Qi San Niang or Mu Dan, if he seriously injured them a second time, even if they didn't hate him, they would feel fear and hesitate to approach him.

But Xu Shi's gaze toward him remained ever gentle and tender, as if he had killed her with his own hands, she still loved him, just as before.

Luo Jia Ming stared blankly at the single white hair mixed in Xu Shi's hair—had she really grown a white hair?

Before, he didn't understand how Xu Shi could have such fervent feelings for him; he found it annoying, as if he were surrounded by sticky air, unable to breathe, and all he wanted was to escape.

Now, no one loves him; Qi San Niang and Mu Dan have betrayed him, and his parents have a new son; whenever he gets close to that little brat, they guard against him, fearing he might harm the newborn brother.

This only intensified his strong violent and destructive urges.

Luo Jia Ming said: "If my parents don't give us a share of the family property, I will be penniless; would you still be willing to follow me?"

Xu Shi looked at him, delighted: "Of course, I'll go wherever you go—marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog. You having no money is no problem; I still have my dowry…" Saying this, her face showed regret: "If I had known, I shouldn't have spent so much money on Qi San Niang; one-third of my dowry went to her."

Luo Jia Ming's icy heart warmed a little; those women all wanted money from him, but only Xu Shi was willing to spend money on him.

After experiencing all this, Luo Jia Ming for the first time did not feel Xu Shi's affection for him as a shackle or bond; he even felt somewhat fortunate that there still exists a woman in the world who loves him unconditionally and forever.

"However, I still have one matter to attend to." Luo Jia Ming's expression turned grim: "After I return from Pingjin City, we'll consider the division of the family."

Before, he didn't want to divide the family because he knew his parents were reluctant to part with their wealth and would certainly not give much; he preferred to stay in the Luo Family, occasionally appearing before his parents' beloved little son, enough to scare them to death.

They made his life unpleasant, so he made theirs unpleasant as well—even if they were his parents.

But now, Luo Jia Ming knows he is not completely penniless.

Xu Shi indeed moved him; he decided to let that little brat off, leave the Luo Family, leave Pomegranate Flower Town, let his parents rest easy, and most importantly, leave a place filled with rumors and gossip.

Xu Shi was so happy tears fell; for a woman like her who regards spiritual needs as paramount, whether Luo Jia Ming becomes a eunuch or not really doesn't matter to her—she cares more about whether he loves her, whether he has severed ties with the outside vixen, and whether they can be together.

She secretly prayed, hoping her husband would henceforth belong entirely to her, completely forgetting to ask Luo Jia Ming what he was doing in Pingjin City; consequently, she later regretted it so much her intestines turned green.

Upon arriving in Pingjin City, Luo Jia Ming first asked A Ming for news of Mu Dan.

Upon learning of Mu Dan's experiences, he felt a deep sense of humiliation.

He never imagined Mu Dan would be so undiscriminating—first, an ugly, pockmarked man gained power, then came a fat Lord Wang the Second.

Just thinking that Mu Dan might compare him with those two lowly men made him furious to the point of nearly fainting.

Such a wanton woman as Mu Dan, and he actually kept her as a kept woman for five years?

How many five-year spans can a life have? He thought Mu Dan loved him deeply, but in fact she merely wanted to climb higher; thus, no matter how ugly a man was, as long as he was useful to her, she was willing to submit.

Inside the room, Mu Dan suffered a tremendous fright.

"Jia, Jia Ming, how did you end up here?" Mu Dan panicked utterly, scrambling behind the screen to put on her clothes.

Lord Wang the Second wrapped himself in the blanket and shouted angrily: "Who are you? Dare to ruin my fun—do you know who I am, Lord Wang the Second?"

At this moment, Luo Jia Ming feared nothing, acting solely on a surge of lone courage.

He gave Lord Wang the Second a ferocious smile: "Then do you know who this woman is?"

Lord Wang the Second had no interest in letting a man see his body; he picked up his clothes, put on his pants under the blanket, then jumped out. "Are you talking about Mu Dan? She's a poor woman whose fiancé died—how could she have provoked you?"

He tugged at his suit; the suit was stylish, but too tight—he had to suck in his stomach to fasten it.

Luo Jia Ming actually bore no grudge against Lord Wang the Second; he was merely another man captivated by Mu Dan's looks, just like him and Fang Dequan.

"Lord Wang the Second, you're still quite fearless of death."

He sized up Lord Wang the Second from head to toe; setting aside his ugliness, the man's clothes and the pocket watch hanging from his neck showed he was either rich or noble.

After half a year of being taught how to be a person, Luo Jia Ming is now more cautious, trying not to make enemies as much as possible. This is not the Pomegranate Flower Town controlled by the Luo Family; outside now there is military chaos, those with guns are the strongest, and the Luo Family is gradually losing control over Pomegranate Flower Town.

He gave a cold smile: "You actually dare to hang out with Mu Dan? Could it be that this is dying under the peony flower, even as a ghost being flirtatious?"

Wang Ye Ye felt a chill in his heart: "What do you mean? How does this involve death?"

Although his mind was addled by beauty, Wang Ye Ye wasn't truly fearless; he never lacked women, but he thought Mu Dan served him well and was also fashionable like him, so he wanted to take her into his household.

Now it seems his decision was a bit premature.

Luo Jia Ming's gaze was icy as he looked at the screen; Mu Dan's frantic shadow of dressing was reflected on it, likely because she was too panicked, not even having her clothes on properly.

"Wang Ye Ye, today's matter has nothing to do with you; you'd better not meddle." He pointed at the woman behind the screen and said, "This woman caused me an injury that I will never recover from in my lifetime; our hatred is irreconcilable."

An injury that cannot be recovered from in a lifetime?

Wang Ye Ye really didn't understand: what injury? You can't see it from the outside; could it be an internal injury?

Even if it's an internal injury, it doesn't have to be unrecoverable for a lifetime, right?

A Ming behind cleverly pulled Wang Ye Ye over, and didn't forget to pay some attention to him; he would absolutely not make the same mistake again.

"Wang Ye Ye, our young master was harmed by that woman and has been bedridden for half a year..." He said vaguely, the matter originally started because of Mu Dan, "Our young master kindly took her in, but she eloped with Fang Dequan. You know Fang Dequan, right? He's her lover."

Wang Ye Ye startled: "Not the fiancé?"

"Oh, what fiancé? She's just a courtesan; which man would be so foolish as to want to marry her as his proper wife?" A Ming said while dragging Wang Ye Ye toward the door, trying to get him out of the battlefield.

But Wang Ye Ye found this gossip juicy and wanted to hear more, using his huge bulk to stop A Ming's movements.

"She's actually a woman of the red dust?" Wang Ye Ye slapped his thigh, "Look at her eating steak and drinking coffee every day, so fashionable... I thought she had a good background, which is why I wanted to take her into my household."

A Ming spent a lot of effort, but couldn't drag the pig-heavy Wang Ye Ye, so he let go and whispered to him about Mu Dan's great achievements... Of course, some artistic embellishment is definitely needed.

"Wang Ye Ye, I say your guts are huge, daring to want such an inauspicious woman." A Ming whispered to the curious, excited Wang Ye Ye: "This woman is a jinx; whoever touches her brings bad luck, our young master is utterly unlucky! And Fang Dequan, he was living well in our town, his brother-in-law is the police chief, who patrols with a gun every day, not knowing how mighty he is, yet he ran off with Mu Dan to elope, leaving Pomegranate Flower Town for the unfamiliar Pingjin, where he got beaten to death..."

As it turns out, that's how it is; the cause and process were cleverly omitted by A Ming.

Wang Ye Ye couldn't help but shudder.

Looking at it this way, this woman is indeed quite inauspicious; someone like him is the most superstitious, and if it brought misfortune onto his official brother and soldier brother in the family, that would be bad.

Fortunately, today this unlucky man broke in; if he had been later, after he took her into his household, how would the Wang family deal with the bad luck?

Luo Jia Ming here couldn't take it anymore, he kicked the screen flying and pulled Mu Dan, who was hiding behind it, out.

Pomegranate Flower Town.

"Master, how is Jia Ming?" Luo Lao Tai Tai held her young son, a faint weariness showing between her brows.

When giving birth, she felt her body hadn't suffered much loss, and was even healthier than before. Raising the child didn't require her to have much energy, after all there were wet nurses, grandmothers, and servants attending the child; as long as there were enough hands, being a mother at grandmother age wasn't difficult.

What truly made her worn out was her second son.

When her second son Luo Jia Ming was at home, she was constantly anxious, worried he might harm her youngest son. Now he's in prison, and she worries about his safety; this child is practically born to be her nemesis.

Luo Lao Ye was equally exhausted: "He scratched Mu Dan's face; the man surnamed Wang, her lover, suffered no loss, just twisted his ankle, and was frightened at the time."

These days, for this son, he has been shuttling between Pomegranate Flower Town and Pingjin City; at Luo Lao Ye's age, who could endure this? His whole person visibly became worn out.

Wang Ye Ye didn't make a lion's demand; instead he's quite grateful to Jia Ming for letting him see Mu Dan's true face. The one trying to extort is the police bureau, trying to make us the sucker. If I don't agree, they won't withdraw the lawsuit, and Jia Ming may have to stay at the police bureau for a while.

Pingjin City is not Pomegranate Flower Town; the Luo family has no connections there, so to get Luo Jia Ming out safely requires a large sum of money.

Luo Lao Ye went to visit friends in Pingjin City and gathered much information; reportedly, Fang Dequan's brother-in-law, Police Chief Song, couldn't withstand Fang De Li's crying and got involved in this matter.

Seeing this, Luo Lao Tai Tai flew into a rage, put her young son into Huang Ma's arms, and pointed at Xu Shi's nose, shouting: "Jia Ming is also my son; do you think I don't feel sorry for him? People definitely need to be saved; before saving someone we must find out who dares to oppose our Luo family! Can't you just think a bit—he merely ruined a woman's looks, and she's a courtesan at that—how could he be sentenced so severely?"

San Ya tightly hugged the Three-Colored Cat and murmured: "Look, the truly unfilial one is me! I'm narrow-minded and hold grudges; even my mother..." The Three-Colored Cat stretched out its paw and patted her head.

You're right; it's mother who's too stupid. Xu Shi smiled with relief.

San Ya muttered to herself, yet showed the same worry on her face, and hypocritically said: "Elder sister, I've thought of a method; I wonder if I can wake mother."

Beside them were three maidservants, staring blankly as San Ya coaxed their mother into going in circles.

She didn't know that in her mother's heart, she was actually a cold, unfilial daughter.

Xu Shi took out all the silver dollars in her hand, about to give them to A Ming, but San Ya quickly stopped her.

After Luo Lao Tai Tai finished her confinement, she took over most of the household management, and the three maidservants immediately relaxed, gaining more time.

Luo Lao Tai Tai was both angry and vexed: "Forget it, go back to your rooms and don't go anywhere!" She told the few granddaughters at the door, "Take your mothers back; this matter she cannot interfere with."

Luo Lao Tai Tai also gritted her teeth in hatred, then tears fell: "Let him suffer a bit; I always think that when he was young I indulged him too much—now he's a man in his thirties and still doesn't understand things."

Si Ya took San Ya's hand, looking dazed and unaware of what was happening, but seeing San Ya's expression, it seemed she didn't need to worry too much.

This is a heart ailment," the old doctor said with reluctance; everyone in town knows the Luo family's affairs, and no one expected that the once mighty Luo Second Master would be abandoned by his parents like this.

At that moment, the infant Luo Tianci in the swaddling clothes cried 'ah ah ah,' as if comforting her.

How amazing, San Ya is really smart!

To care for Xu Shi, Da Ya and Er Ya's eyes were red from staying up; they worried that Xu Shi's anxiety would keep her from sleeping.

Xu Shi said nothing; her eyes looked toward Luo Tianci.

Third sister, what should we do?" Da Ya asked the smartest sister, "Mother still hasn't reduced her fever today; if it keeps going like this, will her brain be damaged?

What a fool! What kind of grudge is this? You didn't hit your mother, yet you went along with her wishes; in her heart, you are a filial good daughter.

Usually Xu Shi isn't this stupid; why does her intelligence vanish completely when it comes to Luo Jia Ming's affairs?

This is to prevent him from splitting the family property; no wonder his father laughs so grimly whenever he sees Luo Tianci—it's obvious the old Luo couple wants to abandon the worthless father, and there won't be much property left to divide.

She knows high fever can make a person foolish; there's a man in town who was burned into an idiot, in his twenties, almost like a three-year-old child.

We can't release Luo Jia Ming from prison, but making his conditions better is completely fine.

Elder sister!" Er Ya quickly steadied Da Ya, trembling with fright.

Just as Xu Shi was taking her daughter out the door, they didn't expect to be stopped right at the gate.

The old doctor shook his head and sighed; the external injury wasn't serious, it's the heart that's hurt—worry and overthinking, so a fever is no surprise.

Jia Ming!

Xu Shi's face filled with emotion: "Indeed, San Ya is truly the most filial; if your father knew how much you care for him, he would surely be comforted by your filial piety."

Luo Family has money; enough wealth can move heaven—let's wait and see!

"Mother." San Ya said gently, "Elder Sister and Second Sister don't mean that; they also care about Father, but they're just young ladies with no connections, don't know how to save Father…… Mother, don't cry, I'll accompany you to Peace Brocade City; even if we can't save Father, we can at least bring him some good food. I heard the prison meals aren't filling."

Fang Deli's second grudge is Luo Jia Ming; if it weren't for Luo Jia Ming being pushy, insisting on finding Mu Dan's whereabouts, how could his older brother possibly have left Pomegranate Flower Town to avoid the Luo Family's sharpness?

Da Ya and Er Ya cried while attending to Xu Shi; Luo Lao Tai Tai is this old, her strength isn't that great either; although Xu Shi's face is swollen like a pig's head, it's only an external injury.

Several matrons and servants were pulling and shouting at the lady; San Ya instinctively let go of her hand and quickly stepped aside.

Inside the room, Xu Shi let out a sharp cry and woke from her dream.

Da Ya anxiously asked, "Wasn't it said Mother's injury wasn't serious? Why does she keep running a fever?"

Luo Lao Ye, who had never felt so aggrieved in his life, swore he would rather take this one hundred thousand to make connections with big shots, pull down Director Song, otherwise he would become addicted to extortion—one leads to another, and no amount of the Luo Family's wealth would be enough to satisfy him.

San Ya, who had once again received the title of most filial daughter, stiffly twitched the corner of her mouth, listening to Xu Shi's endless praises of her.

Even if she doesn't have a fever, she's still an idiot!

He coldly said, "Go back to your room and rest; we have the matter of Jia Ming under control."

San Ya showed no expression; she Character: Mingzhi knows Xu Shi would be intercepted, also knows the grandmother would absolutely not spare her, the Elder Sister, who meant well and tried to stop her from violating the grandparents' taboo, was unfilial—instead, she fulfilled her wish; though she Character: Mingzhi knows she would be punished, she was the filial one.

After several slaps, San Ya felt that her mother not only failed to follow the grandmother's wishes, her mind was knocked clear; on the contrary, she might become more dazed—don't you see she's about to faint?

Luo Lao Ye slowly nodded, he decided to stall with the Song; opening his mouth like that is already demanding one hundred thousand silver dollars—how could he not be outrageous?

Xu Shi cried herself to sleep; Da Ya and Er Ya quietly left the room, their faces full of worry.

This time Xu Shi's illness came on fiercely; she couldn't even get out of bed, fortunately her daughters provided meticulous care.

San Ya's gaze turned cold in an instant, she clenched her teeth, signaling Er Ya to take Da Ya away.

The old couple could be ruthless, but Xu Shi couldn't bring herself to be harsh.

The extorted Luo Lao Ye's eyes flashed with menace; he had no gun in his hand, but lacking a gun doesn't mean he must grovel.

San Ya's mouth curled with a sneer.

Luo Lao Ye's face showed displeasure.

Da Ya anxiously said, "Mother, the grandparents said you're not allowed to go out, ah……"

With a slap, Xu Shi sent Da Ya flying.

When the grandmother struck the daughter-in-law, her force was much greater than when Xu Shi hit Da Ya, and she struck many more times.

Probably Luo Lao Tai Tai also felt embarrassed to use it when needed and to cast people aside when not; their monthly allowance had more than doubled, finally catching up to the share of the other wealthy families' young ladies in Pomegranate Flower Town.

This mother of hers, from birth to now, had hardly ever left Pomegranate Flower Town; just speaking of the outside world frightened her, yet she mustered the courage to go to an unfamiliar city—could love really be that great?

Director Song could only suppress his greed, setting a price that hurt the Luo Family but wasn't enough to make them give up.

"Father! Mother! You must definitely save Jia Ming!" Xu Shi cried, taking out her dowry, "Father, I give you all my dowry; please be sure to save Jia Ming!"

Xu Shi was escorted back to her room by the servants and soon fell ill.

Luo Lao Tai Tai immediately hardened her heart; she could not forever indulge only the second son; the second son must become sensible, clearly realizing that in the Luo Family he is no longer the sole heir as before.

Upon hearing this, Da Ya and Er Ya felt heartbroken; they never expected their own mother would think this way of them.

How could San Ya be so smart? How did she not think that all they needed was money—they could simply send a servant to check on Luo Jia Ming? As a woman in an unfamiliar Peace Brocade City, what could she do? Perhaps she'd be less useful than a servant.

Director Song felt pity for his concubine, but more importantly, he eyed the Luo Family's wealth like a tiger; if he could extract all their assets, how many guns could he buy?

Xu Shi stared at her with a blank expression, completely lacking the wit to think.

Even as cold-blooded as she is, she couldn't help but sympathize with her father for a few seconds.

The three words "Luo Jia Ming" were like a miracle cure; Xu Shi immediately opened her eyes, eagerly gulped down the bitter medicine, and as if by miracle, the fever that had persisted for days quickly subsided.

Xu Shi's persistent fever wasn't due to being slapped by the grandmother; the saintly type doesn't hold grudges—she remained unconscious because she was worried about Luo Jia Ming.

No matter what, the Luo Family could not possibly bankrupt itself just to save him.

San Ya had her keep most of the money, taking only twenty silver dollars to give A Ming; this amount was enough for him to buy food for Luo Jia Ming without stirring greed.

Their grandmother, oh, is forever narrow-minded, not knowing how to be an elder; rather than saying she's guarding against the sisters, it's more like she's guarding against their father, fearing they'd discover the Luo Family's wealth and tell their father.

"Exactly!" Xu Shi suddenly realized, unconsciously following her daughter's arrangement, seeing her as a pillar, "How much money do you think is appropriate?"

"Da Ya, Er Ya, San Ya, I dreamed Father was beaten—I must go find him." Xu Shi, seemingly possessed, said, "Whether Father and Mother care for him or not, I do! Jia Ming, wait for me—I'm heading to Peace Brocade City right now."

Even a heart ailment needs heart medicine—she promptly sent the heart medicine to Xu Shi.

Xu Shi's eyes were all bloodshot; she gritted her teeth and snapped, "I don't have such unfilial daughters! Your father suffered so much, yet you remain indifferent! He is your father—without him, you wouldn't exist—how can you be so cold-hearted……"

Moreover, is this just about money? This is a matter of life and death for the Luo Family; once they yield or retreat, those money‑crazed officials and soldiers will know the Luo Family is a soft target, each picking on them.

San Ya's face showed helplessness.

San Ya's idea is simple; she repeatedly told Xu Shi that even though she couldn't go to Peace Brocade City, it didn't mean she couldn't help—A Ming, familiar with Peace Brocade City, could go and negotiate.

As long as there's money, what can't be bought?

Luo Lao Tai Tai's heart softened a little; this tiny, adorable child, yet as the elder brother the second son always looks at him with a fierce glare—how could she bear it?

Only Da Ya looked bewildered; her face didn't hurt, it seems the pain had shifted to her father—though compared to bodily pain, what hurt more was her heart.

She pulled off the blanket, took out her clothes, and the silver dollars she had raised by selling part of her dowry these days.

This time Xu Shi struck with extreme cruelty—Da Ya's cheeks swelled up.

How much could the entire dowry amount to? This daughter‑in‑law really only adds trouble.

The several sisters sat in the hall, suddenly finding themselves with nothing to do.

Si Ya clung tightly to the Three-Colored Cat in fright, sobbing, not understanding why Mother was scolding the sisters—Father had been seized; could it be their fault?

Too bad Luo Jia Ming has become a cripple; if he dared to speak up, the Luo Family would dare to abandon him.

San Ya muttered to herself, "Forget it—since in her heart I'm the most filial, I might as well do what a dutiful daughter ought to do."

"Mother, giving too much money will make the servants harbor ulterior motives." San Ya reminded her, "If he runs off with all the money…… even if he's a loyal servant, carrying that much cash on his person isn't safe."

Da Ya and Er Ya hurried over, helped Xu Shi, whose tears wouldn't stop, back to her room.

Luo Lao Tai Tai rushed over in a fury, fiercely slapping the agitated Xu Shi several times.

San Ya walked at the back, head lowered, seeming very worried for her parents.

"How could that be?" San Ya's voice grew softer, "You are our mother; whatever you do is right! Let's not talk about this, let's pack our bags."

Tsk, she almost doesn't know how to write the two words 'filial piety'.

She didn't want to suspect, but ever since she had a younger uncle, her husband really wasn't that important in the Luo family.

The first thing Fang De Li hated was Mu Dan; if it weren't for this woman seducing the elder brother, bewildering him, listening to her nonsense, and seeking some grand future, she would not have gone to the unfamiliar Pingjin City—otherwise he could still be in Pomegranate Flower Town, steadily doing his job as a junior patrol officer.

Xu Shi grabbed San Ya's hand, her face showing guilt: "San Ya, I didn't mean to hit Da Ya, nor did I mean to say those things; I just lost my temper for a moment—you won't blame me, will you?"
