Chapter 181 Cremation
Aunt Cui didn't seem to think that the death of the third lady was her problem at all, and she still defended herself with her hands on her hips.

Anyway, in her eyes, this little son was very honest. He said things to himself, but Mu Zhengyuan never dared to go west. So what if his wife died, he still had to be obedient and filial to her.

"Bad guy! Bad guy who killed my mother!" When the twins thought of their mother lying coldly beside them, they stared, yelled a few times, and rushed forward.

"I'll beat you to death!" The two children didn't know why, but they got bolder and rushed out. They beat and scratched Aunt Cui with expressions full of indignation and hatred.

Mu Zhengyuan didn't understand the situation at the scene. Hearing the words of the two children, he froze on the spot and looked over with disbelief on his sad face.

"Mom, what did you do to my wife?"

He had always thought that his wife's fall into the mudslide was just an accident, but now that the two children were so repelling Aunt Cui, Mu Zhengyuan vaguely guessed something.

Mu Zhengyuan knew that his mother had always disliked his two children and was usually indifferent to them. However, under the guidance of his wife, the two children were usually quite filial and polite to his grandmother. They had never been like this. Given the situation, their unusual reaction must be justified.

When he didn't get a response, Mu Zhengyuan raised his voice, his eyes turned red, and asked another question almost roaring.

Aunt Cui was annoyed by the two children. She pushed the two dead children aside with a strong push. When she heard Mu Zhengyuan's roar, her temper suddenly rose. Cursing in his mouth, he shouted angrily: "I'm against you! I can still kill her on purpose!"

Mu Zhengyuan had been beaten, scolded and tamed by her since he was a child. Now he received a scolding for nothing. He was unable to refute for a moment, his face turned red and he was speechless.

"I'm your mother! I want to see what happened to my daughter-in-law's cremation!"

Aunt Cui had known her youngest son's temperament for a long time. Her fierce appearance became more and more fierce, and she even walked to the front arrogantly.

In contrast, after receiving such a heavy push from their grandmother, the two children became bolder and threw themselves at Aunt Cui's side fiercely, crying and shouting.

"Bad guy! The bad grandmother who killed my mother!"

The two children pounced and bit, grabbing Aunt Cui's arm hard, lowering her head suddenly, and biting her hard.

"Ah!" Aunt Cui let out a sharp cry of pain and pushed the two children to the ground.

"Go away! You two heartless little beasts!"

A small bloody gash was opened on her arm, and blood was oozing out.

Aunt Cui was so angry that she didn't care anymore. She suddenly raised her hand and was about to slap the two children on the face.

Beat these two little heartless bastards to death!

But before she could land the slap, Ruan He had already walked to her side and held her hand firmly.

"You! What do you want to do?" Aunt Cui turned her head and saw that Ruan He had stopped her. She frowned and scolded fiercely, "I'm teaching my own children and it's your turn to intervene!?"

"What!? Do you still want to beat the child?"

Mrs. Mutai couldn't look past it at the moment, and walked straight forward. Her usually kind eyes were now serious, and she directly scolded the overly arrogant Aunt Cui.Aunt Cui was scolded for nothing. She used to be just the little maid next to Mrs. Mut, but now when she spoke, she was afraid of Mrs. Tai, and was unable to refute a few words she said.

She could be arrogant in front of her son, but she couldn't be so proud in front of the dowager.

Aunt Cui was so angry that she blushed and received Mu Zhengyuan's resentful gaze again. She was so angry that she stamped her feet, turned around and walked towards her eldest son, and walked away dejectedly.

After experiencing such a twists and turns, Mu Zhengyuan put away his angry look, turned his head, lowered his eyes, hugged his wife's cold body, looked sad, and walked to a remote place in silence.

Ruan He and Mu Yunxiao looked at each other. They both sympathized with the third lady. They sighed and followed suit.

Mu Yunxiao and Mu Yunchao helped find a large amount of dry branches and firewood, while Ruan He squatted next to the third lady's body and washed the dirt and dust on her face with clean water.

"boom!"

As soon as the firewood was ignited, the third lady, who was wrapped tightly, was firmly put into the fire with the fierce fire that suddenly rushed up.

A group of them stood in the distance, watching quietly as the tongues of fire danced, engulfing everything in an instant.

"Mother!" The two children cried loudly and sobbed for mother. They were pulled tightly into Mu Zhengyuan's arms and held in his arms. The father and son stood in the distance, watching the third lady's body completely reduced to ashes.

Ruan He had no intention of breaking the sad atmosphere between father and son. He turned around and walked quietly to a quiet corner.

She carefully selected the space, found a fairly sturdy jar, and took it out.

"I'll give this to you." Ruan He stood in the distance and silently watched the flames beating. Then he slowly walked forward, handed the jar to Mu Zhengyuan, and whispered.

They were now in the mountains and forests, prisoners, with nothing. Mu Zhengyuan couldn't even bring out a jar for his wife's ashes.

Mu Zhengyuan held the jar with a sad look on his face. After a moment, he seemed to have just come to his senses and said, "Thank you."

After a long time, it was estimated that the bodies were almost burned, and they were able to put out the fire.

Mu Zhengyuan put his wife's ashes in jars one by one, held them tightly in his arms, cherished them very much, and wept silently with sadness.

The deceased was gone, and Ruan He didn't know how to comfort the father and son, so he had to walk away silently, leaving him a quiet place to remember his deceased wife.

Not only Mu Zhengyuan lost his wife, but there were also prisoners who lost their loved ones. They were holding each other together and sobbing in pain. They could not bring back the dead people, so they could only quietly handle the funeral affairs and prepare to continue their journey tomorrow.

Li Jiang led a group of officials, carrying the body of the dead official, and silently walked to the low-lying part of the mountain. After searching for a while, he found a place covered with thick soil.

They quietly dug up the thick soil, buried the body firmly, covered it with soil again, and erected a monument with a large stone nearby.

This official's hometown is in the north, and they are about to go to the exile in the south. There is really no way to let him return to his roots, so they can only bury him temporarily and rest in peace.
