The next day, Gu Qingyuan was sent away without being able to struggle at all.
Her eyes were filled with resentment and fear, but what could she do even though she was unwilling to accept it?
Old Madam Xie wrote a letter and asked someone to take it to the Gu family in Nanping, explaining the whole story clearly to prevent her sister from feeling resentful.
After all, the incident happened in the Xie family, and she, as the elder, has the responsibility, but Old Madam Xie believes that she has done her best. Gu Qingyuan can only blame herself for ending up in this situation, and Old Madam Xie has a clear conscience.
Time flies, and two days later, we were at the Xie family cemetery.
Xue Yunzhu's remains will be moved to this cemetery.
A dark cloud hung over Xie Qingyao's head, and a light rain fell.
She and Xie Linqian stood together, watching the servants bury the coffin in the dug pit.
Then a tombstone was erected with the words "Xue Yunzhu, wife of Xie Linqian" engraved on it.
In this way, Xue Yunzhu was no longer a wife of the Jiang family, but a member of their Runan Xie family.
There is a piece of vacant land next to Xue Yunzhu's grave, which is reserved for the future. After Xie Linqian passes away, he will also be buried here, and the two will be buried together.
Xie Linqian's eyes were red and his hands were shaking.
Seeing this, Xie Qingyao's eyes became sore and crystal tears fell uncontrollably.
Later on, she could no longer tell whether the water on her face was rain or tears.
Compared to her previous life, she felt much more fulfilled now that she was standing in front of her mother's grave with her father.
But if there hadn't been the persecution from Concubine Li, would the three of them have been happily reunited? Why would they have been separated by the Yin and Yang, enduring the pain of separation from their loved ones?
Her mother would not die, her father would not suffer for years from losing his beloved, and she would not have to suffer the harsh treatment of those people in Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion.
Concubine Li destroyed the three of them because of her own selfish desires.
It’s really hard to accept!
It’s so sad!
Xie Qingyao's heart was like a surging tide.
Although Concubine Li will not live long, she will not have peace from now on.
After standing there for an unknown amount of time, Xie Linqian gently patted her shoulder and said, "Go back. You might get sick if you continue to get wet in the rain."
Xie Qingyao raised her eyes: "Where's father?"
Xie Linqian said gently, "I want to spend some more time with your mother."
He quickly urged, "Go back quickly. You're going to get sick, and your father and mother will be distressed."
Xie Linqian was reluctant to let Xie Qingyao stay any longer, so he asked the maid to take her away.
He Zheng was quicker than them. He walked over quickly, held Xie Qingyao's hand tightly, and took her to the carriage.
Xie Qingyao felt the warmth from He Zheng's palm and sniffed lightly.
There were clothes provided in the carriage. He Zheng quickly took off her wet coat and put clean clothes on her.
The Marquis did everything himself, and the maids had no place to use their skills.
They are probably the most idle maids.
Xie Qingyao quietly let He Zheng dress her, but saw him frown.
"What's wrong?" she asked softly.
Then He Zheng raised his fingertips and gently stroked her eyelids, "It's swollen."
His fingertips had thin calluses, which caused a slight itch when he rubbed them.
But it is warm and feels comfortable on the eyelids.
Xie Qingyao closed her eyes and then slowly opened them again.
"I just couldn't help crying for quite a while. It won't be too ugly, will it?"
He Zheng saw that her eyes were red and swollen, and the corners of her eyes were red, which made her look quite miserable.
“It’s not bad looking.”
Xie Qingyao: "Just because it's not ugly, does that mean it's not good-looking?"
He Zheng: “…”
Before he could continue speaking, Xie Qingyao reached out and hugged He Zheng.
He Zheng held her down, "Yaoyao, don't get so close to me. My clothes are wet and I feel a little cold."
Xie Qingyao didn't care about that. She buried her head in his neck and rubbed it. She smelled his scent, and the sadness and hatred in her heart, all the emotions calmed down and were soothed.
There was a moment's silence.
He Zheng suddenly said: "I will kill her."
This "she" is naturally Concubine Li.
Xie Qingyao raised her head and said quietly, "Let's not do that. If the Marquis kills her, it will be too easy for her. I hope she...will suffer a fate worse than death."
"He watched helplessly as he lost everything and was powerless to restore it, suffered utter torture, and ultimately died in despair."
He Zheng pinched the back of her neck and said, "As you wish."
That would bring about the destruction of the corrupt Li family, leaving Concubine Li completely without support and value, and turning her into an abandoned woman in the cold palace.
Her good daughter, Princess Yongjia, also had to pay the price for her arrogance and domineering behavior.
The family is broken, the woman is abandoned in the cold palace, and she is plagued by illness...it is more terrifying than death.
Return to Xie Mansion.
Xie Qingyao sat on the chair and raised her head slightly.
He Zheng took the egg from the maid's hand and said, "Close your eyes."
Xie Qingyao closed her eyes obediently, and He Zheng applied eggs to her eyes to reduce the swelling.
Xie Qingyao's eyelashes trembled slightly, "Hiss... hot."
He Zheng's grip became lighter.
She was indeed delicate and tender, probably made of water, and if he used a little more force it would leave marks on her body.
I just let him apply it on my eyes, and after a while, my eyes felt much better.
Xie Qingyao took the mirror and looked at herself. Ok, the swelling in her eyes had subsided a lot.
She looked at He Zheng with a smile, "My Lord, you are very clever and skillful."
How can applying an eye mask be considered dexterity?
He Zheng chuckled slightly, his voice low: "When we return to Shangjing, I'll take you to see someone."
Xie Qingyao blinked and asked, "Who is it? Is he very important to the Marquis?"
Otherwise, He Zheng wouldn't have brought it up specifically.
He Zheng's eyes were dim and unclear, and he said "hmm".
Because Xie Qingyao returned to the Xie family, the Xie family moved up the annual Xie Lantern Festival by half a month, hoping that she would go to the Lantern Festival together before returning to Beijing.
