Chapter 4: Setting up a mourning hall and emptying the palace



Ke'er quickly washed up and left the yard, coming to the front hall, where she saw three coffins, one in front and two in the back, placed in the hall. 30 grandfather guards were standing on both sides. When they saw Qin Feng, they all knelt on one knee and said, "Second Young Master, we have sent the general, the major general, and the major general's wife home." They looked solemn and said in unison.

The four brothers knelt in front of the coffin and cried heartbreakingly. Although Qin Feng knew the news in advance, he still couldn't control his sadness. Qin Feng asked the housekeeper An Bo to make arrangements and let the guards wash, eat and rest.

An Bo asked the housekeeper to take the guards away. Only the family of seven was left in the hall. An Bo stepped forward and told Qin Feng about setting up a mourning hall for condolences. Qin Feng nodded and said, "Okay, the funeral will be held on the ninth day. You go and make the arrangements."

Ke'er came to her mother and saw her fourth brother slumped in her arms, crying out, "Mom, Mom, I want Mom, Dad, Dad, I want Dad." His face was covered in tears and snot, and her mother kept wiping them away. She stroked her fourth brother's head and face, gently patted his back, and made soothing "oh oh oh" sounds.

The eldest brother held his great uncle's coffin with both hands and knocked his head against the edge of the coffin again and again, until his forehead was bleeding. He refused to listen to anyone's advice, his eyes were red, but he didn't shed a single tear.

The second brother lay prostrate on the great aunt’s coffin, shouting loudly, “Mother, mother, open your eyes and look at me. I am your second son. I am naughty all day long, climbing up the roof and tearing off the tiles. I just want my uncle to tell you that if I don’t listen, you come back and beat me. Mother, I miss you so much. Mother, my mother, please come out, come out of this small black box. Mother, you are so tall, it must be very crowded in there. Please come out, my bed is big, I will let you sleep on it, mother, mother, mother…”

Qin Feng knelt before his father's coffin, silently shedding tears. After a long moment, he clenched his fists, his eyes reddened, the veins in his neck bulging, and roared, "Dad, Big Brother, Big Sister-in-law, I will avenge you."
