Chapter 1026 Delusion
Zhou Shuyao felt like she was dreaming.
In her dream, she was trapped in an unknown barrier, and in a trance, she seemed to sense his breath.
She sat up suddenly from the bed, looking around in panic with her bare feet without even putting on shoes or socks.
"Yanshu...Yanshu, is that you?" She knew it was impossible, but she still couldn't control the inappropriate expectation.
The room was empty, there was no sign of Lu Yanshu.
She seemed to come to her senses, smiled at herself, and leaned weakly against the door.
The ground was a little cool, and she curled up her toes because of the cold.
There were hurried footsteps outside the door.
"Madam? Madam, are you in the room? Madam, I am sorry for being rude. I am going to break in." The maid spoke in an anxious voice. Just as she was about to kick the door, she saw it open from the inside.
Zhou Shuyao's face was a little pale and her eyes were slightly red.
The moment the maid saw her, tears welled up in her eyes: "Madam, you scared me to death! I was clearly walking in front of you just now, but in the blink of an eye, you can't find me anymore."
The lady was a widow, so she did not dare to speak out without permission, for fear of affecting the lady's reputation.
"Madam, why are you standing barefoot on the ground? The ground is cold. Please go back and sit down. I will put on your shoes for you."
Zhou Shuyao's sea of consciousness had been explored, and even with Lu Yanshu's comfort, she still felt quite tired.
Sitting at the table, stroking his forehead, he had only some doubts in his mind.
"Madam, where did you go just now? I looked for you everywhere in this courtyard, but I couldn't find any trace of you. There are people guarding the gate of this courtyard, how did you come back?"
The maid muttered, and Zhou Shuyao slowly clenched her sleeves, but a strange thought arose in her heart.
Is it him?
She remembered that she seemed to be trapped in a barrier, and in a trance, she seemed to see the corner of a piece of clothing passing by.
My head ached a little, and the more I recalled, the paler my face became.
"Don't think about it anymore. I won't ask. As long as Madam comes back safely, it's enough. You look so bad, just hold a piece of spiritual ginseng in your mouth." The maid took the spiritual ginseng and put it under Madam's tongue.
After a while, his complexion gradually looked better.
"I have already ordered people to do what you ordered, so you don't have to worry." The maid wanted to let her rest directly, but she knew the lady's temper, so she simply didn't persuade her and took her out to see for herself.
She did everything herself, and everything that passed through her hands was always done perfectly and there would never be any mistakes.
"I'll just take a look and then come back to rest."
"Tomorrow, the people from all over the country will come to pay their respects. That will be the most tiring thing."
Zhou Shuyao nodded, and asked the maid to help her go out to check. She pursed her lips to hide the anxiety in her eyes.
She mainly... wanted to go back to the location of the barrier and take a look.
Inside the mourning hall.
The Xu family's daughters-in-law were all capable wives, and with Zhou Shuyao's help, they quickly arranged everything.
At this moment, the mourning hall was filled with white, with only the pitch-black coffin quietly placed in front of the hall.
"You guys go down." The old tutor stood in front of the coffin, his tone calm.
The eldest daughter-in-law bowed and said, "Dad, people from all over the government will come to pay their respects tomorrow. Why don't you go back and rest early? We are here to keep vigil..."
She winked at Xu Yiting, and Xu Yiting stepped forward to support the old tutor.
The old master waved her hand and said, "You can leave. I want to... sit with your mother for a while."
Xu Yiting was worried. His mother married his father at the age of sixteen, and they had lived in harmony for decades without any quarrels. There were no concubines or mistresses in the mansion, and the two of them had a very good relationship.
But today, when my mother passed away, my father never shed a tear. It seemed like he accepted it, but also like he didn’t.
This made him feel very uneasy.
