Su Ci Fu was in the mourning hall, kneeling on a mat and burning paper for his wife.
A few days ago, the emperor was held hostage by Dong Jinguo and other traitors, and his situation was extremely critical, but he was ultimately safe and sound. Not only that, the two daughters-in-law of the Jiang family were also successfully rescued.
However, this was not good news for Su Ci Fu, because his wife was pushed into the river while crossing the river and unfortunately drowned.
Su Cifu sat there quietly, gazing at the dancing flames, as if he could see his wife's figure in the blazing flames. Her voice, her smile, and her gentle eyes, the soft words she spoke when she scolded him, were all as clear as yesterday.

Su Cifu clenched his fists tightly and spoke through gritted teeth. His heart was filled with anger and hatred, and these emotions burned in his body, making him unable to calm down.
Su Ci Fu stood up and touched his wife's coffin, his eyes red. Yan'er, your husband misses you. How could you leave me?
