Shen Yi's Darkness and Depression

Chapter 298 Tianling Cover

Yunwan tossed and turned all night, not only because she was afraid of the dark, but also because her thoughts were so restless, about her father, about her mother, about her grandmother, she repeatedly missed the best side of the deceased relatives, to avoid falling into grief and self-pity However, after all, she will kneel in front of their graves and face their deaths.

Now she returned to Wuchuan as a quasi-princess to commemorate her father's anniversary. Perhaps her grandmother's spirit in heaven would be relieved when she heard about it, but it was indeed a heavy blow to her mother.

The last thing Yunwan's mother wanted was for her to marry into the royal family. Even teaching her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting was a forced and helpless act.

Most of Yun Wan's resentment towards her father came from not leaving a whole body for her mother, and she never even fought for it. Her grandmother did whatever she wanted, so much so that she burned her mother's bones into a handful of ashes. She once put her mother's ashes into her favorite wooden box one by one with her own hands. Tears dripped and mixed with the ashes to form a crystal, which seemed to grow new bones to make up for the regret of incomplete bones.

"Why isn't Master's mother the same bone as Master Duanmu?" Ze Fenglin looked at Yunwan's mother's tombstone very puzzled.

"My mother doesn't want to, I have to follow her ideas." Yun Wan didn't expect that when she knelt in front of her father's grave, her heart would be blank, and she couldn't even shed a tear.

"Is there a bad relationship between them?" Seeing that Yun Wan was unusually calm, Ze Fenglin wanted to talk to her.

"It's good, but my mother has no bones to marry." Yun Guan responded lightly, and she felt resentful when this matter was mentioned.

"After Madam passed away from the epidemic, Madam insisted on cremating her." Butler Cao said it on Yun Wan's behalf. He understood that this matter had always made Yun Wan feel jealous towards her grandmother.

"If my mother is suffering from an epidemic, how can I take care of her all day and be safe?" Yun Wan still did not believe that her mother passed away due to the epidemic.

"But even the master said that the madam has a disease?" Butler Cao heard that Mr. Duanmu said it himself.

"Maybe it's my fate." Yun Wan didn't want to mention the past grievances, her mother had already been reduced to a handful of ashes, and it was pointless to entangle her illness and death.

"Didn't Master Duanmu often take care of Master and mother?" Ze Fenglin remembered that Yun Wan said that Master Duanmu was present when she sent her mother away, and she missed her mother's dying instructions because she went to fetch water from the river.

"That's right. At that time, the master and the young miss took turns to take care of her. It's just that two servant girls in the mansion before the madam died of the disease."

Butler Cao remembered that those days were relatively gloomy for Duanmu Mansion. The mansion was cut off from all contact with the outside world. The prefect of Wuchuan ordered guards to guard day and night, and he needed to report when entering and leaving the mansion. Even Lord Duanmu was not allowed to come and go freely, "My lord Miss, don't blame the old lady anymore, she had no choice but to hand over to the magistrate if she didn't cremate the lady, and the consequences..."

"I don't blame my grandmother, I just blame my father for not even saying a word to fight for it, because he knows that my mother is not a disease." Yun Wan is very sure that if her mother really gets the disease, she will definitely not, based on the old lady's character of caring for her children. Her father was allowed to come and take care of her, and even a weak child of hers was not sick, so how could her mother have an epidemic.

"But I heard the conversation between the master and the old lady about this with my own ears?" Butler Cao made it clear again that he didn't want Yunwan to be dissatisfied with them.

"Uncle Cao, many things are not as simple as they appear on the surface. Only I know the pain in my mother's heart." Yun Wan loves her mother very much. She is really sad for him, and hates his character of neither fighting nor grabbing, nor seeking, so much so that she is bullied by her mother again and again.

"Actually, the master misses his wife very much, but it's not easy for him to be caught between his mother-in-law and his daughter-in-law." Butler Cao is a discerning person, and he sees many things in his eyes, but he just doesn't want to tell the truth.

"Forget it, it's all in the past, and it's useless to talk about it." Yun Wan didn't want to argue with Steward Cao because of the past, what's the use of fame when everyone is gone?

"Master, Uncle Cao, the paper money is burnt out, and the head is kowtowed, isn't it the end of the hour? We should go back." Ze Fenglin urged, staying here for a moment longer, his master will be sad for a moment longer.

Yun Wan walked back in a daze. She was very glad that her grandmother was willing to bury her mother's ashes in the family cemetery after she made a fuss because of her mother's death. Although the tomb is a little smaller, the location is excellent.

When she was alive, she was not less angry with others, but after death, she was able to have a higher position than those who entered the cemetery later, which can be regarded as having the upper hand in Changmian, so Yun Wan didn't want to touch her mother's grave again, let alone let her be with Duanmu Chong. The luster merges with the bones, because there is no bone to merge.

Yun Wan felt that this choice was her father's own decision back then. Since he didn't stop her mother from being burnt to ashes due to the epidemic, how could he have the extravagant hope of reuniting her bones?

"Master, take me for a stroll around the city." Ze Fenglin just wanted to relax with Yun Wan, he thought Yun Wan would cry until the sky was dark.

"Well, Uncle Cao, can you go back by yourself?" Yun Wan was a little worried. Butler Cao had sprained his ankle since the master passed away, and he had a problem with his feet.

"Don't worry, the old slave is fine. Let's go back to the mansion for dinner tonight. I want to make more food. I'll greet the father and daughter of the Han family. It's a clean-up for you." Steward Cao plans to buy more food, and wants to bring Yun Wan cooks all the dishes he likes.

"Uncle Cao, don't bother, we're leaving tomorrow." Yun Wan came back to commemorate her father's anniversary, and now there is no reason to stay any longer, besides, leaving You Chen alone in the imperial capital, she wants to go back sooner .

"Leave tomorrow? In such a hurry?" Ze Fenglin thought he could stay in Wuchuan for a few more days.

"Then it's not a reception, it's a farewell for you, let's go, let's go, I'm fine."

Butler Cao waved his hand to ask Yun Guan and Ze Fenglin to leave first. He planned to stay in front of the old lady's grave for a while so that he could speak his mind. Bones can only add to the chaos for the young man, so he chooses to continue guarding the huge mansion. Now he is born in Duanmu Mansion, and only by staying in Wuchuan can he do his last meager effort.

The elderly live in their old age, and those who rely on the old sell their old age; it is rare to have a loyal old slave who knows what is right and does not take responsibility.
