Two days later …
In the early morning, the entire General's Mansion was filled with weeping, and in the courtyard shrouded in mist, everyone was crying while covering their faces. Their eyes were bloodshot and they did not dare to cry, as they helplessly watched a group of servants carrying three coffins out of the mourning hall.
Today was the day of the funeral, and the air above the General's Mansion was deathly silent and gloomy. The sky that had not cleared up yet, the night that had not faded, was so empty and so cold.
The grass felt was covered by a white cloth, and the three foot wide white silk dragged the place for a long time, from the mourning hall to the foot of the stairs outside the General's Mansion.
The woman who was kneeling in front of everyone stood up. maidservant beside her immediately stopped her as if she had discovered something. Miss, you can't go. This woman can't send you off, otherwise, it would be a big taboo. "
"The general and the madame are unlucky, and cannot have a son. Let the housekeeper take them. Miss, you can rest assured. "
Luo Shang's face was pale and expressionless, her expression wooden and stiff. She brushed away the maidservant's hand that was blocking her way, and simply walked over.
"Miss, you are a girl, you can't send me off." maidservant bitterly advised.
In the Wu Zhou, no matter who died, no woman was allowed to send them off, let alone a funeral, a major event such as this one. There definitely could not be a woman present, especially with Luo Shang's special identity. If word of this got out, it would affect the reputation of the King Jin Palace and would affect the Imperial Family.
Luo Shang stopped walking, her lips seemed to stick together as she said: "So what if you've violated the taboo? I just want to see them off again. "The final journey."
When Luo Ke died and Nalan Yanran died, she was not even present. Now that they were in a funeral, how could she let them leave just like that, making his regret for the rest of his life?
When the maidservant heard this, their eyes became even redder, if they wanted to stop her, they would know that it was useless, because Luo Shang was too stubborn and persistent.
In front of the Luo Family tomb —
Luo Shang watched as the two coffins were buried together. She also ordered someone to bury the little girl's body in the Luo Family grounds and wrote it down in his clan tree. This was the little girl's wish before she died. She had to fulfill it for her.
After finishing all the procedures, Luo Shang ordered everyone to leave. She knelt down alone in front of the grave, not moving at all and knelt down for half a day.
She had desperately tried to protect the Luo Family, to protect them, but in the end, she still ended up like this. She had completely given in to his demands, and had completely tolerated it, but he had still cruelly harmed her family.
She had personally done all of this, so she couldn't blame anyone else.
She was quietly kneeling on the ground, wearing the white silk. No matter how the hair under the white silk brushed against her face, no matter how painful it was, she did not feel anything. She did not have an expression on her face, and she was even more like ice, unable to withstand the heat.
The sound of steady footsteps came from behind him. As the man approached the grave, it was unknown if he was wearing white intentionally. With his hands behind his back, he stood up straight.
He said in a low voice, "My condolences."
His words only made Luo Shang feel that it was laughable. Mourning? Just a moment of sadness? Would her family live, she mourned?
"Why did you come back alive?"
Leng Shaoyu frowned slightly when he heard her sudden question. He looked at the woman wearing the white silk slowly standing up and saw her turning around to face him, whose face was pale and haggard, and the pair of eyes that did not have any color filled with regret.
Her pupils dilated and her eyes trembled as she coldly said, "Why didn't you die on the battlefield?"
Her handsome eyes wanted to see through her further, but beneath the man's beautiful skin was a trace of something else. His handsome face and long eyelashes cast a layer of shadow under his eyes. The pair of black eyes, which seemed capable of seeing through all the sadness of his past and present lives, were solemn and stern like a cold star, shining with a piercing light as he looked down at her.
"He frowned and slowly opened his mouth." You want me to die on the battlefield? "
Luo Shang did not reply, she only laughed coldly, that cold smile hid too much self-mockery.
She looked at the grave and said emotionlessly, "I don't care what you think you're doing here, whether it's revenge or sarcasm. But now, please leave and don't sully this peaceful place. "
"Luo Shang — —" Leng Shaoyu's dark face lost its initial patience, and his cold words were cut off by his low roar.
His white clothes accentuated his tall and straight figure, and he had a cold and hard face as if carved by a knife. He pulled up her wrist and spoke domineeringly. Go back with This King. "
Without hesitation, Luo Shang mercilessly flung away his hands and retreated two steps back. Because she looked so weak due to her fatigue throughout the day, her body could not even stagger.
Her eyes were filled with tears and her eyes were red. She gave a faint smile and said indifferently: "Go back with you? Why should I go back with you? You killed my most important family member. Why, why are you still standing here begging me? "What right do you have to ask me again?"
Leng Shaoyu's cold and gloomy face slowly grew colder by the second. His eyes were as deep as the night and extremely cold at the same time. This king is your husband and your relative. The palace is your home. "
Even if the death of the Luo Family had nothing to do with him, it was still Zhou Quan, whom he had not considered, who had caused her family to fall. In the past, it was he who didn't cherish this woman properly and didn't protect her well. He thought that she was strong and proud, so he didn't need to rely on her. However, she was still a woman.
He had to bring her back to the residence. Luo Shang needed her safety and the warmth of a home at a time like this.
"Luo Shang laughed bitterly in a foolish manner, and her body retreated continuously as tears flowed down her face. Home... "Family members …" She raised her head and let the gentle wind wash away the tears on her face.
She laughed softly as she slowly opened her eyes. I have no home, no family. Brother's life, Nalan's life, Zhuo Jin's life, is it enough... Is it enough to repay her life — — "Luo Shang shouted at him with all his might.
"Leng Shaoyu, the life that the Luo Family owes you has been paid off. From today onwards, we will no longer owe each other anything, and we will no longer have anything to do with each other. " Her ruthless words made his heart ache.
Leng Shaoyu's brows furrowed into a deep crease, the brand name was extremely cold, his deep eyes stared straight at her, pressing down on her step by step.
"I've said it before, you don't have the right to choose. If you return with me to the manor, I will compensate you with everything."
To make it all up to her, how harsh and sad.
Luo Shang looked at him with a smile. Compensate me? How are you going to make it up to me? "How can you compensate me?"
"She took a few steps forward and looked him straight in the eye, like an innocent fawn." Your love? "
"He mouthed the word with his lips, then made a decisive and light character." "Yes."
was stunned when he heard it. No matter what, this was the first time Leng Shaoyu had said that he loved her.
She raised her eyes and a flash of emotion appeared in her eyes. She was suddenly covered up by ridicule. Her smile was horrifying, and she said word by word, "I am willing to believe anyone who says they love me. There is only you, and only you, Leng Shaoyu. The price of loving you is too high for me to bear. " She cried to the point of despair, her voice that was almost struggling inside her screamed weakly.
"If I love you, I will destroy myself and kill my family." She gave a silly sneer and bit her white lip.
Gradually returning to a calm state, he said indifferently: "Leng Shaoyu, I won't hate you, but I won't forgive you as well."
The person she didn't want to hate was him, the person she once loved the most. However, he had caused her to lose her family, causing her to lose hope in this world. She would not forgive him, not in this life.
"His voice was hoarse and low." Luo Shang, you can blame me but you must return with me today. "
"Leng Shaoyu, do you have to force me to death in order to be at ease? If this is what you want, I'm willing to help you. " His eyelashes were stained with tears. They were so sparkling, yet so desolate.
The hostility on Leng Shaoyu's face was heavy, he looked at her and listened to her, pain wrenching his heart. Such a ruthless Luo Shang, made him feel as if she had lost the rain.
He would not let her go, at least for the rest of his life.
