The little boy, Han Mo, dressed in mourning clothes, knelt before the coffin, wailing and crying for his mother. His pitiful cries were heartbreaking.
When Han Yin saw the mourning hall and his son crying as if he was about to faint, he finally realized that Xiao Ruyi was really dead, and that he had killed him with his own hands.
Xiao Ruyi died a violent death, and her body was too gruesome, so the funeral was kept simple. After the Xiao family came to see her, she was buried three days later.
Han Yin's distraught state was evident to everyone; he seemed unable to accept the blow, and everyone who saw him said he was deeply devoted to his wife.
In fact, Han Yin really couldn't accept it.
He had enjoyed Xiao Ruyi's unconditional love for as many years as he had been married to her. Now, when he closed his eyes, all he could hear was Xiao Ruyi's heartfelt confession and deep expression of love from that night.
The person he had always hated was dead, but Han Yin felt no joy at all. Then he discovered that his life was full of Xiao Ruyi's traces. His clothes, shoes, and socks were all made by Xiao Ruyi herself, and Xiao Ruyi took care of all his needs.
The maid was packing Xiao Ruyi's clothes; the deceased's clothes were to be burned along with them.
The maid brought over the clothes that Xiao Ruyi had just finished making and asked Han Yin if he wanted to burn them as well. He stared at them, mesmerized.
After receiving no reply for a while, she could only leave with the clothes in her arms. However, she had not gone far when Han Yin suddenly chased after her and snatched the clothes back.
Maid: "...?" What's wrong with you?
Madam Xiao also packed her daughter's things, wanting to take something back as a souvenir. Seeing Han Yin so distraught, she couldn't bear it.
She knew about Han Yin's ambiguous relationship with other women, but no matter how angry she was, her daughter had already left, and seeing Han Yin like this, there was no point in scolding him.
After offering him some words of advice, she suddenly remembered that Xiao Ruyi had mentioned the concubine a while ago. Since the person was dead anyway, she decided to just chat about it and brought it up.
Han Yin was shocked once again. Only now did he realize that Xiao Ruyi knew nothing. She only just learned of Liu'er's existence.
Han Yin interrogated Xiao Ruyi's maid and learned that Xiao Ruyi hadn't slept for two days and two nights after learning the truth. She had also visited Liu'er, swept Liu'er's grave, and given the wet nurse a large sum of money.
The maid said that Xiao Ruyi was in great pain after learning about these things. She had no idea about this matter, but Liu'er did die because of her.
Han Yin immediately understood why Xiao Ruyi had stayed that night. She felt guilty, so she kept telling him her feelings. Before, she had been aggressive and intolerant of Shen Shu, but that day she changed her mind and said that everything was up to him.
If Xiao Ruyi were still alive, Han Yin, knowing all this, would definitely call her a hypocrite.
But Xiao Ruyi died, and she died because of him.
That music room held memories for Han Yin and Liu'er, but Xiao Ruyi is now dead inside, and the music room itself has turned to ashes.
Han Yin's favorite person was Liu'er, but Xiao Ruyi was innocent; she knew nothing about it.
Liu'er died, so Han Yin couldn't let go of her for many years and always loved the deceased. But now Xiao Ruyi is also dead, and she has loved him wholeheartedly for many years.
Liu'er died while pregnant, but Xiao Ruyi gave birth to a well-behaved and adorable son for her.
Han Yin regretted it. He regretted not seeing the truth sooner and that he hadn't treated Xiao Ruyi's love properly.
By putting himself in a do-or-die situation, Xiao Ruyi achieved his goal.
She used her death to cover up everything about Liu'er.
What she wanted was Han Yin's love, but people's hearts are fickle, and only love for the dead can be eternal.
