Chapter 190 Your Grandfather is No Longer Here
"If you have any complaints, just tell me directly." Eunuch Yuan walked in.
Jiang Weiyan hurried over and said, "Eunuch Yuan, look at Jiang Yao. She has no respect for her elders and even threatened to kill me. Jiang Yao is a witch."
Eunuch Yuan glanced at Jiang Yao. The girl stood quietly in front of the coffin, looking down at the person in the coffin. She didn't say anything and had no expression, but the aura around her was filled with indescribable sadness.
She just wanted to see Jiang Ao.
Eunuch Yuan retracted his gaze and raised the imperial edict in his hand: "I am here to announce the imperial edict."
Everyone in the hall knelt down except the girl who stood beside the coffin.
Eunuch Yuan glanced at Jiang Yao, sighed, and didn't care. He directly read the imperial edict.
Jiang Yao stared at Jiang Ao and didn't hear what Eunuch Yuan was saying.
But it was too noisy, too noisy, and she couldn't stand it anymore.
"Shut up."
A sudden roar drew everyone's attention, and Eunuch Yuan had already finished reading the imperial edict.
Everyone knows that Jiang Yao is about to become the prince's concubine.
"Do you still have any humanity left?"
She finally cried, tears falling drop by drop, her eyes full of resentment.
"My grandfather is dead and he's lying right here, but you're all here listening to some imperial edict? What kind of bullshit imperial edict is more important than my grandfather?"
Eunuch Yuan was horrified: "Second Miss Jiang, please stop talking nonsense. I just think you are too sad and your words are beyond your control."
"Heh." Jiang Yao sneered, walked to the side of the coffin, and looked at Jiang Ao for a long time.
She has been in this strange world for half a year, and no one cares about her, except Jiang Ao, who holds her in the palm of his hand.
But the only person who loved her was now lying in a coffin. She could no longer hear his voice or see his smile.
"Grandpa, you are the only person I care about in this time and space. Now that you are gone, there is no need for me, Jiang Yao, to exist anymore."
Closing his eyes, a tear rolled down his cheeks. "Perhaps after my death, I can return to the modern world. Anyway, I have no ties to this State of Zhao anymore, so let the storm come even harder."
"Just consider it as a farewell for you."
The frail body used all its strength to pull the coffin lid.
No one came forward to help, everyone just stared at Jiang Yao.
After she closed the coffin lid, she walked to the side, pulled off all the white silk, and threw it on the coffin.
"Jiang Yao, what are you going to do?" Jiang Weiyan wanted to step forward, but because Eunuch Yuan was there, he couldn't get angry. "My father loved you the most when he was alive. How can you be so disrespectful to him after his death? Has your conscience been blown away by a dog?"
Jiang Yao turned a deaf ear to Jiang Weiyan's scolding. After dropping the white silk, she walked to the side, picked up the candlestick, walked to the coffin, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath: "Grandpa, take care. Your granddaughter will see you off."
The candlesticks were all on top of the coffin, and the fire started instantly.
"This is crazy, this is crazy! Someone, please put out the fire!"
Jiang Yao turned around, tears streaking down her face, but her eyes were determined: "I'll see who dares to move."
"Second Miss Jiang, how could you burn Master Jiang's body? This is extremely disrespectful to the corpse." Eunuch Yuan stomped his feet. He was really angry about Jiang Yao. The crazy Jiang Yao was too scary.
Jiang Yao ignored them and used his frail body to protect the fire behind him.
Grandpa, I burned your body so that you could rest in peace. I didn't want your body to be eaten by wild beasts and insects in the future.
The fire grew bigger and bigger, and everyone retreated, except Jiang Yao who was still standing in the house.
She slowly turned around, knelt down towards Jiang Ao, and kowtowed three times: "I, Jiang Yao, have been here for half a year. Fortunately, you truly love me and I have tasted the feeling of being a family member. I failed to protect you. It is my incompetence. I am sorry."
"If there is an afterlife, and you don't mind, Jiang Yao still wants to be your granddaughter, your real granddaughter."
"Why is there a fire? Where is Jiang Yao?"
Zhao Ce rushed over upon hearing the news of Jiang Ao's death: "Why don't you hurry in and put out the fire?"
After the prince spoke, the servants in the mansion did not dare to just stand by and watch, and quickly took basins of water to put out the fire.
"Eunuch Yuan, where is Jiang Yao?"
Eunuch Yuan pointed at the fire and said, "Second Miss Jiang hasn't come out yet."
Zhao Ce's pupils shrank and he rushed in without thinking.
"Your Highness, no, the fire is too big, you can't go in."
Eunuch Yuan was extremely anxious and quickly sent the guards in to put out the fire.
"Jiang Yao, Jiang Yao, where are you?"
Jiang Yao stood up and stared at the coffin for a long time. When she heard someone calling her, she slowly turned around.
"Jiang Yao, what are you still standing there for? Come out with me now."
Zhao Ce wanted to hold her back but she dodged him.
Jiang Yao said indifferently: "I can walk by myself."
She didn't want to commit suicide, she just wanted to see Jiang Ao off for the last time.
The two men walked out of the sea of fire one after the other, and the beams behind them broke completely and collapsed with a loud bang.
Just one step away and the two of them would be hit.
Zhao Ce was still frightened and hugged Jiang Yao tightly: "You scared me to death."
"Let me go."
"Jiang Yao, I'm just worried about you, I..."
Jiang Yao pushed him away with all her strength and walked out in a daze.
"Stop her." Zhao Ce shouted.
"Jiang Yao, where are you going?"
Jiang Yao waved away Zhao Ce's hand, walked to the side and picked up the jar on the ground. She remembered this jar. Jiang Ao said he would plant flowers for her, and she also agreed to plant some flowers and plants when she felt better.
Holding the jar, she walked to the fire and knelt down.
Zhao Ce didn't know what she was going to do and was extremely worried. He walked over, squatted down, and softly comforted her: "I know you are sad, but your grandfather wouldn't want to see you like this. Jiang Yao, get up and come with me, okay?"
Jiang Yao acted as if he couldn't hear anything and just stared at the fire.
"Jiang Yao, stop kneeling. The fire has already started and your grandfather is gone."
Jiang Yao turned his head stiffly: "No, he is here, he has always been here."
Jiang Ao will always be in her heart, forever and ever.
Zhao Ce couldn't persuade her, so he just stood beside her.
She was kneeling and he was standing.
Just wait until the fire burned out.
Jiang Yao struggled to get up from the ground, still holding the jar in his arms.
Her body was shaking because she had been kneeling for too long. Zhao Ce grabbed her in time, but she pushed him away again.
Jiang Yao walked towards the ruins without saying a word.
There was still fire on the unburned wood, so Zhao Ce quickly ordered the guards: "Hurry and move the wood away."
The guards' help allowed Jiang Yao to reach Jiang Ao's place more quickly.
The coffin and body had long since burned to a pile of ash.
Jiang Yao squatted down and placed the jar at his feet. Then he knelt down and put all of Jiang Ao's bones into the jar one handful at a time.
The girl kneeling in the ruins and silently holding the bones, her slender back made people feel sad.
The servants in the mansion had already wiped their tears silently, and no one blamed Jiang Yao anymore.
Until the last handful of ashes was placed in the jar, Jiang Yao couldn't help crying out loud.
Such a big person has now become ashes in a jar that is not even full.
"Grandpa, Grandpa."
She just knelt in the ruins, holding the jar, crying out in despair.
