Chapter 2127: End of Funeral
Li Jiuge presented a flower from behind his back. “For you.”
Ning Shu was surprised. How’d he get flowers in the winter?
“Thank you.” Ning Shu took the flower. “Where did you get this?”
“Guess.” Li Jiuge had a mischievous look on his face. Then he straightened his expression, picked up some paper money, and put it in the brazier.
Ning Shu stared at the golden cedar coffin. Sadness welled up in her heart.
These were Fang Lanxin’s emotions.
After all, it was her father who was now laying inside the coffin after suddenly catching the plague.
Ning Shu turned to Li Jiuge and asked, “How did you meet my father?”
Li Jiuge paused his actions and remained silent.
It looked like there was some unspoken secret about this.
“I was just curious, you don’t have to answer.” Ning Shu took a wooden stick and poked at the fire in the oil lamp. The flame couldn’t be extinguished before the funeral.
The coffin remained in the hall for three days. On the day of the funeral, Mo Juechen, who had previously disappeared, returned.
Gu Rui was the one to send the master’s spirit off.
Ning Shu and two other adopted sons followed behind the funeral procession.
Ning Shu looked at Mo Juechen walking next to her. He was still bewitching, even in plain mourning robes.
The burial place was a beautiful place with good feng shui that was chosen by the old man before his death.
Ning Shu watched as shovel after shovel of soil was thrown onto the coffin. Tears unconsciously streamed down her face.
Her heart was filled with grief.
Mo Juechen handed her a handkerchief. “Wipe your tears. You were already ugly in the first place. Crying makes you look even worse.”
Ning Shu took Mo Juechen’s handkerchief. She wiped her tears and blew her nose. Then she handed the handkerchief back to him. “Here.”
As soon as she did that, Mo Juechen threw the handkerchief away.
Ning Shu: →_→
Jeez, that really hurt her pride.
This kind of person was still a candidate for her husband? What nonsense.
Given her present condition, she wouldn’t be able to catch any of the three candidates as her husband.
Ning Shu looked at Mo Juechen with a ‘nothing left to live for’ expression. She stared at his enchanting face.
To be honest, Ning Shu had a suspicion that Mo Juechen was the leader of the demon sect. Most people with his temperament weren’t good people.
Mo Juechen bluntly moved away from Ning Shu. He didn’t even spare her a glance, completely ignoring her.
Her heart still felt very uncomfortable. Tears continued to come flowing down, and by the time the funeral ended, her long sleeves were all wet.
When she got into the carriage, Ning Shu burst into sobs. She would feel much better after letting it all out.
“Miss, please don’t cry.” Xi Tao quickly wiped away Ning Shu’s tears.
Ning Shu leaned on Xi Tao’s shoulder, almost crushing her. After crying for a while, the depression in Ning Shu’s heart had dissipated a lot, and she actually felt refreshed.
“Miss, don’t be like this. This servant feels sad seeing you like this.” Xi Tao sniffled and finally bawled along with Ning Shu.
The adopted sons who were outside the carriage heard what seemed to be the wails of pigs being slaughtered. They all urged their horses away from the carriage.
“Gu Rui, that girl can be your wife,” Mo Juechen said to Gu Rui.
Gu Rui’s expression didn’t change. “I won’t be starting a family until I achieve my aspirations.”
