Chapter 345: A Familiar Figure
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan walked out. She did not attempt to persuade Wei Nanxi even once.
This was because people who had no desire to live could not be persuaded to live.
Outside the main courtyard, Wei Zhicheng, Wei Zhigao, and their wives were waiting. When they saw Liu Sanniang come out, their gazes landed on her.
Wei Zhicheng looked at Liu Sanniang and said, “Miss Liu.”
Liu Sanniang responded calmly. “Commander Wei wants you to go in.”
Wei Zhicheng said to Liu Sanniang, “Thank you, Miss Liu.”
They had been outside the courtyard the entire time and did not leave. When they heard the voices, cries, and roars, they wanted to know what was going on.
In the eyes of Wei Zhicheng and Wei Zhigao, Wei Nanxi was a strict person. He doted on Mrs. Wei extremely and would never quarrel with her.
Perhaps the only way to find out what was going on was to go into the room.
The two brothers hurriedly entered the room with their wives.
Liu Sanniang did not stay. Instead, she went out with Chu Yan.
Wei Zhicheng and Wei Zhigao entered the room and called out. “Father.”
Wei Nanxi sat by the bed with an indifferent expression. He looked at his two sons and slowly said, “I’ve already prepared the tomb and coffin in advance. When the time comes, you have to bury me with your mother.”
Wei Nanxi held Mrs. Wei’s hand. Even if she hated him and would never forgive him, he still wanted to be with her forever.
Even if they died, they had to be buried together.
Wei Zhicheng and Wei Zhigao were shocked. Their father was making arrangements for his funeral.
Wei Zhicheng looked at Wei Nanxi and saw a wet patch on his waist. He knelt down and helped Wei Nanxi up. When he touched the wet patch on his waist, he saw that it was blood. Wei Zhicheng was very puzzled. “Father, why did you do this?”
Wei Zhigao was also shocked. He pounced on the bed and saw that Mrs. Wei was dead. There was a bloody dagger beside her pillow. He found it difficult to accept. “Father, Mother, what’s going on?”
Wei Zhicheng covered the wound on Wei Nanxi’s waist. “Go and quickly get a doctor.”
First Madam Wei, who was completely stunned, came back to her senses and ran out. Second Madam Wei quickly followed. To them, this was undoubtedly a huge matter. Their mother-in-law was dead, and their father-in-law had committed suicide.
Wei Nanxi waved his hand. “There’s no need to get a doctor. I’m determined to go with your mother.”
Wei Zhicheng broke down, shouting hysterically. “Father, why is that so? Why are you so stubborn? Don’t we, your sons, have a place in your heart?”
Wei Nanxi’s expression was indifferent. “In my heart, there’s only her.”
When Wei Zhicheng heard this, he did not know what else to say. Wei Zhigao knelt at the side with his head lowered and was silent.
Wei Nanxi knew that his words were very hurtful, but he had always been such a person. He grabbed Mrs. Wei’s hand. “Thirty years ago, when your mother was pregnant for the first time, she gave birth to my eldest son, but when the child was born, she was on the verge of dying. I was indignant and used that child’s life to exchange for your mother’s life. The reason she was pregnant again after that was only because she wanted to be a mother.”
Even if his words hurt, he didn’t choose to lie. He only had his wife in his heart.
To him, his sons never meant much. He never thought one day he would have to reveal the truth, but now the truth was laid bare in front of them.
Wei Zhicheng and Wei Zhigao were shocked to hear that they had never been loved by their father.
They were sad, but they had to accept it.
Wei Nanxi grabbed Mrs. Wei’s hand tightly. His eyes were gentle as he said, “I can’t lie to you. No one in this world is more important than her. Yaoyao, forgive me. Wait for me.”
Wei Zhigao sat there numbly, and Wei Zhicheng did not speak.
After knowing the truth, they did not feel good at all.
If any of them were that poor eldest son, they would end up being treated the same.
Wei Nanxi leaned on the edge of the bed. “All of you, leave. I want to stay with your mother alone and not be disturbed.”
Wei Zhicheng looked at Wei Nanxi and kowtowed heavily. “Father, Mother, don’t worry. I will take care of your funeral.”
Wei Zhigao also kowtowed. “Father, rest in peace.”
Wei Zhicheng and Wei Zhigao helped each other up.
Wei Nanxi’s expression did not change. Wei Zhigao and Wei Zhicheng had already left and closed the door.
Wei Nanxi gently leaned his head on the back of Mrs. Wei’s hand. “I’m coming to meet you…”
He was not afraid of being covered in sins. He was afraid of losing her. He knew it, and she knew it too.
Wei Zhicheng and Wei Zhigao were a little upset. This blow was too great for them. After leaving the main courtyard, the doctor came over.
Wei Zhicheng said, “My father has already gone. Doctor, you can go back.”
The doctor heaved a sigh of relief. “My condolences.”
Wei Zhicheng and Wei Zhigao only waved their hands. They didn’t seem to be in that much of a greif. Instead, they just felt terrible.
Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan left the commander’s mansion. She stopped in her tracks and chanted softly to dispel the resentment that had been accumulating in this house for decades.
Chu Yan squeezed her palm. “Are you afraid?”
There were too many sources of evil in this world, and the burden on her was too heavy.
Liu Sanniang smiled. “No.”
She was not afraid. She was not the one who should be afraid.
No matter how difficult it was, someone had to do it. She looked at Chu Yan and met his gentle eyes. She felt sweet and at ease.
Chu Yan’s voice was also soft. “Let’s go home first.”
Liu Sanniang nodded. She was not alone. She had Chu Yan, General Black, and the Liu family.
Before going back, Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan bought some things.
From afar, she seemed to see a figure standing outside her house. The figure reached out as if she wanted to knock on the door, but she thought better of it and retracted her hand.
Liu Sanniang walked in and asked. “Who are you looking for?”
The figure paused for a moment before running away in a hurry, as if she was afraid of meeting Liu Sanniang.
Liu Sanniang looked at her departing figure and did not say anything. She opened the door and entered with Chu Yan. General Black ran around them, wagging his tail.
Liu Sanniang rubbed General Black and went to the kitchen with Chu Yan.
She knew that the figure just now was Liu Yinniang. Who wanted Liu Yinniang to come and look for her? As time passed, Liu Yinniang was naturally no longer the person she used to know.
