The proportions of the body in front of us are off.

Lu Zhengjun's legs were longer than the corpse's legs. Even with the effects of the explosion and fire, the proportions shouldn't be like this.

The most likely possibility is that the body is not Lu Zhengjun's, but someone else's.

But it's impossible for someone who went on the mission with Lu Zhengjun to bring back the wrong body—since Lu Zhengjun was the only one in the tent at the time of the explosion, there's absolutely no possibility of a mistake.

The military wouldn't be so careless; even if it were a corpse, its identity would certainly have been verified.

So what exactly is going on?

Lu Anguo believed his eyes and, based on the discrepancy in proportion, was certain that the corpse was not Lu Zhengjun!

only……

A multitude of thoughts raced through his mind in an instant, leading him to decide not to make a fuss and instead to continue with the funeral process.

Perhaps he really misjudged the situation? It would be inappropriate and potentially risky to point it out rashly right now.

Or perhaps the military really made a mistake, or even worse, there's something else going on, but it can't be made public yet?

"Waaah..." Su Yueya cried uncontrollably.

Even at this point, she herself couldn't tell whether she was truly acting or using acting as a pretext to vent her inner unease and worries through crying.

"Family members, please step aside, we need to take the deceased inside," the staff member said.

"Your Majesty!" Su Yueya called out.

Throughout the entire funeral, Su Yueya cried constantly, and the Qiao family stayed by her side, helping with various matters, receiving relatives, and continuously comforting her.

Qiao Xinruo was even more worried and stayed by Su Yueya's side almost every step of the way.

"Sister! Cheer up!" Qiao Xinruo said, pulling Su Yueya back to stop her from continuing to chase after the corpse.

Finally, the moment of their last meeting arrived.

Qiao Xinruo was scared. In her mind, her sister was just a hopeless romantic.

What if Su Yueya has a mental breakdown and insists on committing suicide for love?

"Zhengjun, Lu Zhengjun!" If Qiao Xinruo hadn't stopped her, Su Yueya would have rushed out!

"Big brother, quickly grab sister!" Qiao Xinru shouted.

She was afraid that Su Yueya might suddenly become stronger in her emotional state, and if she couldn't hold her back, things would go wrong.

"Sister, brother-in-law is dead. You need to wake up and pull yourself together. He wouldn't want to see you like this, sister!" Qiao Xinruo cried out.

"Yes, Crescent Moon, we have to accept reality." Qiao Shouyan hugged his sister, his emotions churning.

The Qiao family was equally devastated by Lu Zhengjun's death.

Thinking back to their initial slightly hostile attitude when they learned that Lu Zhengjun had married Su Yueya, and then gradually accepting Lu Zhengjun as a person through their interactions, and then living together in the space, they completely regarded Lu Zhengjun as one of their own...

"Sister, please don't commit suicide for love!" Qiao Xinruo couldn't help but say with worry, "Even though my ex-husband is gone, I still have Mom and Dad, my brothers and me. You can't abandon us!"

It is said that twins have a telepathic connection, but perhaps because they were separated when they were young, Qiao Xinruo always felt that there was no telepathic connection between her and Su Yueya.

This made her even more afraid.

If she had a sense of things, at least she would have been able to sense it when Su Yueya wanted to commit suicide, instead of feeling completely out of control like she does now.

Because of the funeral arrangements, everyone in the family compound knew about Lu Zhengjun's passing.

Whenever Liu Dekai and Mo Youyou passed by the Lu family's house and saw the white lanterns hanging at the entrance, they couldn't help but feel a sense of schadenfreude.

Of course, they would never show it in front of outsiders. After all, Lu Zhengjun would be posthumously honored as a martyr, and making fun of a martyr would be a real problem for them!

But when they were alone, the two of them made no attempt to hide their smugness.

"Now that all the white lanterns are up, it seems the news of Lu Zhengjun's death is definitely true," Mo Youyou said happily. Now she could confidently call Su Yueya a widow!

Next time, don't let her run into Su Yueya alone, or don't blame her for saying some nasty things! After all, she's put up with Su Yueya for a long time.

The wheel of fortune turns, and now it's her turn!

"Good riddance! Lu Zhengjun was lucky. He's dead, but he still gets the title of martyr and all the benefits he deserves!" Liu Dekai mocked.

Even before his death, Lu Zhengjun was extremely lucky, having picked up Su Yueya, this golden treasure, from his hands. Relying on Su Yueya and the Qiao family, he didn't know how much gold he had gilded his own reputation.

Liu Dekai thought smugly that what wasn't his, Lu Zhengjun's, would never truly belong to him for long; Heaven would take it all back in another way.

Little did they expect that this act of taking back Lu Zhengjun would cost her her life!

"Honey, let's go!" Mo Youyou said with a malicious smile on her face. She touched her increasingly round belly. "This place is so unlucky. Even the air feels polluted. If we stay here any longer, I'm afraid it will affect our baby!"

It's best to avoid clashing between weddings and funerals.

Mo Youyou is pregnant and should avoid these funerals to prevent being tainted by bad luck.

"Yes, let's hurry up and leave!" Liu Dekai helped Mo Youyou, and the two quickly left the area.

Mo Youyou was in such a good mood that she hummed a song as she walked.

After the funeral was over and all the procedures were completed, Su Yueya specifically asked Minister Hu for two days off.

"Minister Hu, you know about what happened in my family recently. I would like to ask for two days off to adjust myself so that I can work better," Su Yueya said.

There was no reason for Hu Fangcheng to disagree.

To be honest, given Su Yueya's current condition, she is indeed not suitable for work.

Taking two days off is the right thing to do. Even if Su Yueya doesn't ask for leave herself, Hu Fangcheng will probably take the initiative to send her back to rest.

"No problem, go back and rest. Come back whenever you feel better!" Hu Fangcheng was quite generous to Su Yueya.

She had to go all out; a woman who had just lost her husband was definitely not going to look too good.

So during this short two-day holiday, Su Yueya did nothing but study in her online space every day, and even stayed up late to study!

Of course, at this time, she didn't speed things up; time passed normally.

Not only did she study hard, she also deliberately avoided drinking the spiritual spring water and eating properly, managing to make herself look extremely haggard.

Su Yueya looked at herself in the mirror and nodded.
