Ruan Wanyi's funeral was very grand, but Zhan Jingting did not bury her ashes.
Zhan Huaisheng was also cremated, but no funeral was held. He already had a burial plot, and Zhan Jingting had his ashes placed there. Apart from Zhan Yin, no one else in the Zhan family knew that Zhan Huaisheng was still alive and had returned.
Zhan Jingting gave him his last bit of dignity, keeping it a secret from everyone that he had once appeared in a state that was neither human nor ghost.
After the funeral, Qiao Wanwan couldn't help but ask, "Jingting, what are you going to do with Mom's ashes?"
“She has been trapped by the Zhan family her whole life. I don’t want her to be trapped in the Zhan family’s ancestral graveyard even after she dies. Wanwan, let’s give her freedom.”
Qiao Wanwan naturally wouldn't object, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
On a bright and sunny morning, the two of them took Eleven out to sea, and Zhan Jingting personally scattered Ruan Wanyi's ashes into the sea.
Qiao Wanwan was deeply saddened by Ruan Wanyi's departure.
Regardless of any unpleasantness between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it is undeniable that Ruan Wanyi is a good mother who has devoted her entire life to protecting Zhan Jingting.
Qiao Wanwan held Zhan Jingting's hand, their fingers intertwined. "Jingting, Mom will continue to protect us in another world. Everything in this world is cyclical, and one day we will meet her again."
"Um."
Back at Wutong Bay, just as Qiao Wanwan was about to take Eleven back to her room, Zhan Jingting suddenly stopped and grabbed his hair in anguish!
"Jingting!" Qiao Wanwan hurriedly helped him up. "What's wrong? Are you having an attack? Sit down!"
Zhan Jingting's face was as pale as paper, and he clutched his chest, suddenly spitting out a mouthful of blood!
"puff!"
"Jing Ting!" Qiao Wanwan exclaimed in surprise, "Someone come here! Master! Master!"
The legendary doctor arrived quickly and helped Zhan Jingting lie down on the sofa.
"Wanwan..." Zhan Jingting held the girl's hand, "I'm fine, don't be afraid..."
Qiao Wanwan felt both distressed and anxious. "I'm not scared, please don't say anything more."
Zhan Jingting closed his eyes and quickly lost consciousness!
"Master, how is Jingting?" Qiao Wanwan asked anxiously.
"He's been too tired these past few days, and he's also been feeling down, which is why he vomited blood when he had an attack," said the Ghost Hand Doctor. "I'll give him acupuncture and prescribe some medicine for him to drink. He'll need to recuperate for a while afterward."
Qiao Wanwan nodded, "I know he was really sad, but he kept it all inside, handling his mother's funeral as if nothing was wrong. Now that it's all over, the tension he's been holding in has finally snapped..."
“Wanwan, you’ve done everything you can to improve Jingting’s health. Without you, his condition would only get worse, so don’t worry. We just need to do our best to take good care of him,” the Ghost Hand Doctor comforted her. “Besides, we haven’t stopped researching his illness for a single day.”
"Um."
Zhan Jingting was sent back to his room for acupuncture. Qiao Wanwan prepared the medicine and asked Zheng Ma to decoct it.
"Young Madam," the maid knocked and entered to report, "Mr. Wen Lijing has arrived."
"Please invite him to sit in the living room. I'll be right down."
"yes."
When Qiao Wanwan came downstairs, Wen Lijing was sitting on the sofa.
"Lijing, what brings you here?"
“Yesterday at the funeral, Shiyi told me he wanted to eat roast duck. I was passing by today, so I stopped by and bought some for him and brought it over.”
"Thank you." Qiao Wanwan stepped forward and sat down. "Have some tea."
Where is Jingting?
"He had a relapse, and his condition is quite serious today; he vomited blood."
Wen Lijin looked worried. "Have you been working too hard these past few days?"
"Yes, and even though he didn't say it, he was very upset inside."
Wen Lijing nodded. "Actually, I think Jingting has become more and more warm-hearted since we got married."
"He lost too much, and the truth behind this is too cruel."
"Wanwan, only you can comfort him now."
"I know I will be there for him through this."
"Um."
"Oh, right." Qiao Wanwan suddenly remembered something, "There were too many things to do at the funeral, and I didn't have time to tell you, but the matter of Wen Xue giving birth has been investigated. She was indeed pregnant and gave birth to a child. The father of the child was the man that Qiao Yuqi found for me, but the child died at birth."
Wen Lijing was shocked. "Wen Xue originally wanted to sleep with Jing Ting... so in other words, you two ended up in the wrong bed by mistake."
"yes."
"I can only say that all of this is fate," Wen Lijing said with emotion. "Wen Xue's motives were impure. Not only did she fail to achieve her goal, but she also had a relationship with another man and gave birth to a child that shouldn't exist. This is all her retribution."
Qiao Wanwan lowered her eyes, "Perhaps no one is a winner in this matter. Wen Xue didn't win, and neither did Jing Ting and I. Although we are much luckier than Wen Xue, our child is still missing and his fate is unknown. Moreover, this matter involves Jing Ting's father. The truth is too cruel, otherwise Jing Ting wouldn't be in so much pain."
“Wanwan, I believe that fate will be on your side, and that the child is still alive and well.”
“I’m willing to believe it too.” Qiao Wanwan smiled. “If you’re not busy, why don’t you stay for lunch? Zhan Yin and Zaozao are here too, it’ll be more lively with more people, and it can also distract Shiyi.”
“He has no concept of death, but he knows to some extent that his grandmother will not be coming back, and he has been feeling very depressed these past two days.”
"Okay, I'll go play with him."
......
Zhan Jingting woke up in the evening. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Qiao Wanwan sitting on the edge of the bed, busy with her laptop.
"Wanwan."
"You're awake?" Qiao Wanwan quickly put down her laptop. "How are you feeling now?"
"Much better."
“Your master gave you acupuncture, so you’ll need to rest for at least half a month and continue taking the medication.” Qiao Wanwan helped him up. “I’ll go get you something to eat first.”
Just as Qiao Wanwan was about to leave, her hand was grabbed.
"Wanwan," Zhan Jingting looked at her deeply, "I'm sorry..."
Qiao Wanwan asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly apologize?"
"Marrying me always seems to make you worry and suffer some unwarranted misfortune," Zhan Jingting said with difficulty. "Like what happened to my father, like the child we lost, and like my health..."
Qiao Wanwan smiled and shook her head, "Jingting, I've never felt that you've let me down. Didn't we face these undeserved disasters together? I believe that no matter how many problems await us in the future, we can solve them."
“Dad’s matter is over. We’ll continue looking for the child and continue treating your illness. As long as everything is moving in a positive direction, that’s enough.”
"What if my illness can't be cured?" Zhan Jingting smirked. "I know my own body a little bit. Vomiting blood today isn't a good sign, is it?"
