Chapter 450 Three years of mourning
Xiao Min cried, "Brother, is it wrong that I don't want to go? Why do you beat me? You have never seen those refugees. You don't know how terrible they are. I can't go and die - woo woo -"
The prince said with a cold face, "It's not up to you. You have to go if you want to, and you have to go if you don't."
“As long as you are a human being and have ethics, you cannot say such a thing!”
He knew it was useless to reason with Xiao Min, so he didn't bother to talk anymore and directly ordered: "When Chen'er gets better, I will arrange for escorts to send you there."
Xiao Min sat on the ground and covered her forehead, shaking her head.
The prince stared at her coldly, "Also, after you go to the capital, you will stay there for me and mourn your husband for three years!"
Xiao Min screamed, "Brother—"
The prince stood up and sneered at Xiao Min on the ground, "Why, isn't it natural for a wife to mourn her husband?"
Xiao Min collapsed on the ground and cried, "I don't want it, I don't want to stay in mourning for three years, I will go crazy! Brother, how could you do this to me? I don't want to go to the capital, I don't want-"
She is so annoyed by her parents-in-law in the capital. When she goes to the capital, she has to greet them every day and look at their faces.
No one cares about her when she lives in her natal family, and she doesn’t have to pay greetings to anyone. Her life should be as comfortable as possible.
What’s more, she had to wear plain clothes during mourning, was not allowed to go out as a guest, and was confined at home for three years. How could she survive that kind of life!
The prince walked up to her and looked at her condescendingly, with cold eyes, "Xiao Min, you'd better stay in mourning honestly. If you dare to make any trouble in the capital and do something that will embarrass the prince, you will be in the temple at home." Spend the rest of your life here!”
"I will correspond with Prime Minister Su frequently. Please be careful in your words and deeds so that you can behave yourself."
Brother-in-law died suddenly, and the prince was caught off guard. Originally, because of their in-law relationship, Prime Minister Su and Prince Qi were firmly tied to the same boat.
But now that my brother-in-law is dead, this bond is not very strong, and my sister is so cold-hearted, she is afraid of causing Prime Minister Su's dissatisfaction.
Now the Prince of Qi's power in the court is not enough, and it still relies on Prime Minister Su in many places.
This line must not be broken!
When Xiao Min heard what the prince said, she threw herself on the carpet and burst into tears. She couldn't understand why her brother was suddenly so cruel to her. In the past, even if she did something extraordinary, her brother would turn a blind eye and ignore her.
It's over, it's all over. She knows that her brother is not trying to scare him. He can do what he says and do. How will she live her life from now on?
When the maids saw that the prince was gone, they hurried in and helped Xiao Min. Chunying first removed all the pearls from Xiao Min's head, and then took the mourning clothes and put them on Xiao Min.
When the husband dies, the wife must wear mourning clothes, which is the most severe form of mourning. She must wear linen mourning clothes for a hundred days.
Xiao Min looked at the rough linen mourning clothes and pushed Chunying away fiercely, "I won't wear this, it's so ugly!"
Chunying lowered her head and said softly: "If Madam doesn't wear it, the prince will know about it and I'm afraid he will be blamed."
Xiao Min wailed and had to let Chunying put on mourning clothes, "Why is my life so miserable? I lost my husband at a young age. How will I live in the future?"
Xia Cao took the ointment and wiped it on Xiao Min's forehead. Xiao Min suddenly screamed, "My forehead is broken, will there be a scar?"
The maids did not say anything.
With a master as ruthless and unjust as Xiao Min, they were also very disappointed.
