With both parents deceased, Yu Tingwan lived under others' roofs, diligently working from dawn till dusk. Her maternal aunt was cruel, intending to sell her to a lecherous gentryman well past s...
Chapter 521 I didn't even have time to love her for a day...
The scene became vague.
Yu Tingwan saw the familiar tombstone again.
She saw Jiashan's pale face, as if he couldn't accept it, and fell to the ground.
Is this... the sequel of what he saw many times before?
Jiashan tried to reach out and touch the tombstone, but his fingertips touched the cold marks, but he suddenly retracted as if he was burned.
"Qingying, my Qingying."
She couldn't bear it, her eyes went black, and she fainted.
The servants were in a mess.
When she woke up again, she was in the carriage. As soon as Jiashan opened her eyes, crystal tears rolled down.
Gu Fuju came at an unknown time, and he raised his hand to pour water.
"The tombstone is empty."
"When I came, it was too late."
He was still wearing his usual clothes and jade belt, meticulous and dignified as usual.
The teapot had been emptied long ago, and the water overflowed from the cup and dripped along the edge of the table.
The Taifu, who always had a dignified appearance, had his hem soaked in tea stains at this moment, but he still maintained the posture of pouring water, immersed in his thoughts, and was unaware.
"The people from the Wei family army, our people, the people from the loyal and brave mansion have been fishing in the river for so many days."
But they couldn't catch anything.
"She looks like you. She doesn't like to dress up or put on makeup, but she is particularly concerned about her appearance. This child has a grudge against us, and she has been soaking in the water for so many days, and she doesn't want to show her embarrassment to others. I think... she doesn't want us to see her."
Jiashan didn't dare to listen anymore.
"Why is it like this?"
She was so sad.
After the riot in Shangjing, Ying Zhi forced the emperor to abdicate, and a tug-of-war stalemate lasted for several days.
Seeing that victory was imminent, Emperor Ying Qian laughed and left a word before being beheaded. Gu Fuju, who was supposed to be in the court, suddenly left Shangjing without a word.
Jiashan felt something was wrong at the time.
Obviously, not long ago, Gu Fuju saw Wei Zhao coming back, and the joy on his face could not be concealed.
Gu Fuju didn't say it explicitly, but the two had been married for many years, and Jiashan had a vague guess with just one look.
However, she has been particularly anxious these days. Especially after learning that Gu Fuju went to Ze County.
Even...
Gu Fuju's confidant who stayed in the mansion also prepared a carriage for her.
——"Madam, the master has gone ahead, you should set off as well."
She was almost out of breath at that time, but she was expecting.
But Qingying, who went to pick her up, went home?
Of course, she began to doubt again.
But the previous guess was wrong. If Qingying had news, why did Gu Fuju go faster than her for fear of being late?
Jiashan didn't dare to think too much.
She never thought that she would come all the way here, only to see a cold tombstone.
The soil on top was still freshly turned, and it was obviously erected not long ago.
How could she believe it?
Therefore, she spoke coldly and was unwilling to admit it. But the facts were like a blow to the head, forcing her to believe it.
Jiashan was a noble lady. Her hairpins were straight and her clothes were wrinkled. She even used a shark silk handkerchief to hold back her tears, for fear of smearing her rouge.
But now she was so grief-stricken that her face was covered with tears.
"I just found her."
She asked very softly.
"You told me she was gone?"
Gu Fuju's back was bent, as if he had aged several years.
"I waited for her every day, but today is the day?"
Gu Fuju closed his eyes in pain. There was a glittering sparkle there, and he could no longer speak.
After all, he was incompetent.
The golden phoenix hairpin on Jiashan's bun rustled with the trembling of her body. It was crisp and pleasant to the ears, but she suddenly felt it was harsh, like laughter.
She was furious and tore it off and threw it at the wall of the car.
The moment the golden phoenix hairpin fell to the ground and broke its wings, she suddenly rushed to the window and retched, spitting out half a mouthful of blood foam.
Gu Fuju's eyes trembled: "Madam!"
Jiashan didn't care about anything else, she grabbed Gu Fuju's collar tightly and was about to say something sternly.
But out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of the tombstone not far away.
She suddenly became quiet.
She was afraid that she would disturb the child she had never seen since she gave birth to him.
Jiashan collapsed as if all her strength was gone.
She murmured very softly.
"I didn't even have time to love her for a day... a day."
————
Yu Tingwan looked at all this and felt powerless. She felt mixed emotions and couldn't bear to watch any more. She
vaguely heard someone calling her from behind, asking her why she hadn't woken up yet.
But how could she want to wake up?
Yu Tingwan trapped herself in her memory. She didn't hesitate and strode forward.
She finally saw Wei Zhao in her previous life.
The flood was severe, and the river surface was full of everything. It was turbid. He fished out corpse after corpse in the river.
But none of them was Yu Tingwan.
Wei Zhao's right arm had not healed completely at that time. It was swollen and bloody from being soaked.
Everyone gave up. Even Gu Fuju had built a new grave, but Wei Zhao continued to salvage for another half a month.
He would not stop until he saw the body.
"Enough!"
Xiao Huaiyan couldn't bear it anymore.
"Now that your sister-in-law is gone, are you going to die too?"
Wei Zhao ignored him.
She loved cleanliness and feared cold, how could she bear soaking in cold dirty water?
Until Wei Zhao's body could not hold on any longer, she collapsed completely and fell seriously ill. All her energy and spirit were completely torn apart with this illness.
Gu Fuju came.
He said nothing, leaving only an embroidered shoe.
The blood stains on the embroidered shoe were still there. Wei Zhao held it in his arms tremblingly, but he smiled.
It turns out that people can't cry when they are in extreme pain.
Wei Zhao finally went to the cemetery.
Despite everyone's opposition, he dug out the coffin and opened the empty coffin. He put all the girl's favorite jewelry and favorite dresses in it.
And the tiger-head shoes that Yu Tingwan prepared for the little baby to drive away epidemics, ward off evil spirits and keep safe.
She was not good at needlework, and she spent a lot of thought on this pair of tiger-head boots. The needlework on it was crooked, but the stitches were extremely fine.
It's really ridiculous.
In his life, he killed countless people and never believed in retribution.
Unexpectedly, the price was Yu Tingwan and the unborn child.
If I had known this... If I had known this...
Unfortunately, as the girl said, how can people have a chance to start over?
He is also... untrustworthy.
Not worthy of reliance.
Wei Zhao did all this and stood there in silence. No one knew what he was thinking.
The next moment, he pulled out the big knife from Rong Di's waist. He
didn't hesitate, didn't tremble, and didn't even close his eyes.
Wei Zhao was afraid that Yu Tingwan would be scared by the horrible wound on his right arm.
Although she usually bullied him, the girl was always not very courageous.
Wei Zhao just watched calmly as the sharp blade cut into the flesh, cut the tendons and veins, and broke the bones. The blood splattered on the coffin, like a red plum painted with ink.
Cut off the left arm and bury it in the coffin together.
"Wei Zhao!"
"General!"
His movements were too fast and no one could stop him.
"Mad man! Doesn't it hurt?"
Seeing him bleeding, Xiao Huaiyan rushed over, but the bleeding wouldn't stop, and his face turned pale.
Does it hurt?
It hurts, it feels like Yu Tingwan is pulling his sleeves.
It's as if he's still alive.
Wei Zhao didn't care, and his fingertips lightly touched the tiger-toe shoes. His voice was hoarse but very gentle.
"Daddy's bones are hard... Are they uncomfortable?"
Of course he had no choice but to respond.
"Don't be afraid, Daddy's hand will hold you tightly this time."
