These few words are as light as the wind, but no one knows how much helplessness they contain.
After all...can she still not escape her fate?
After returning from the palace, as soon as I got off the carriage, I saw the servants of the palace hanging two white lanterns on the gate. Qing Wan's eyebrows jumped a few times, and she had a very bad premonition for no reason, and she immediately
He stepped forward and said, "What happened in the house? Why do we need to hang white lanterns?"
"It's the old lady..."
Before the other party could finish what she said, Qingwan hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with the old lady?"
The man said: "Just now someone from the palace read out the imperial edict, saying that the emperor personally granted the marriage to the eldest lady. As soon as the old lady was happy, she... passed away."
"What?"
Qing Wan's body couldn't help but swayed, but fortunately she was supported by Daukou behind her. The little girl looked at her with a worried look and said: "Miss, my condolences. It's important to take care of yourself. If the old lady is still alive, she will definitely not die."
I am willing to see you hurt yourself for her."
Qingwan managed to calm down, stood up straight and said, "I'm fine, let's go see grandma."
Although she had already been mentally prepared and knew that the old lady would go at any time, she never thought that it would be so soon. When she thought that the only relative who was good to her in Qingfu left her, Qingwan suddenly felt sad.
spread.
In the Yiyuan, there was already a lot of crying, and people knelt down in a group under the maids. The ones who howled the loudest were Qian and the aunts.
Seeing Qing Wan come in, everyone wiped their tears with a handkerchief and looked at her secretly from the corners of their eyes. However, they saw Qing Wan walking straight to the old lady's bed, her face calm without even a trace of expression.
.
Not to mention tears.
After Qing Wan entered the door, she knelt down in front of the old lady's bed, held her hand that was already cold, and said only: "Grandma, I'm sorry, Qing Wan is late to come back."
If she could come back earlier, she might be able to see the old man one last time.
However, some regrets are destined to be carried for a lifetime.
Qian just came out of the ancestral hall, and she hated Qing Wan in her heart. If it weren't for her, a little bitch, she wouldn't be disgusted by the master, let alone be punished and grounded. Now, it's not easy to catch the opportunity
, immediately stopped crying and scolded: "Fortunately, the old lady loved you the most when she was alive. Now that the old lady has passed away, you don't even shed a single tear. You are really unfilial."
Next to her, the third aunt also put away her handkerchief and scolded her: "No, they say death is like a lamp going out, and the eldest lady doesn't even bother to do superficial things now. However, I wouldn't be able to cry if it were me. Old lady.
After the death of the wife, she had to observe mourning for at least one year. During the mourning period, she was not allowed to talk about marriage and leave. Even the marriage that was originally scheduled had to be postponed. I guess she was angry that the old lady died at the wrong time and delayed her wedding.
"
Before San Yiniang finished speaking, she saw Qingwan looking over with a cold look, obviously showing no expression at all, but she saw that San Yiniang felt a chill in her heart for no reason.
What I originally wanted to say, I swallowed hard.
I heard Qing Wan respond coldly: "Qing Wan is not the third aunt, so she doesn't bother to do that superficial thing. Not everyone's sadness will definitely show on their face, just like those who cry, not all of them are sincere.
Same. Qing Wan really can't do it like Third Yiniang pretending to cry with a handkerchief. I don't think my grandmother would want to see her in heaven."
