Chapter 882: She Would Burn All Her Belongings
The blazing bonfire in front of the door cast a glow on the main gate of the Ye Castle. Han Xue stood in front of the main gate and the flames revealed her flushed face and the large box beside her that contained some clothes.
She threw the items of clothing into the blazing bonfire one at a time.
Soon, the flames burned even brighter.
She even threw easels, photographs, books, and other personal belongings into the bonfire.
The maids at the castle watched quietly. No one stepped forward to stop her and there was no need to stop her because she was burning the belongings of the ex-mistress of this castle, He Xiyan. He Xiyan had died three years ago, so these items would only bring bad luck if they remained at the castle. They should have been burned a long time ago.
Han Xue looked at the items in the box with distaste. These were all clothing items including her underwear and panties… she threw all these things into the bonfire in a fit of annoyance.
She wanted to throw these items away but her mother-in-law Xia Jingshu insisted that these items had to be burned so that the deceased would not bring disaster upon them. Xia Jingshu had insisted on her burning these items for He Xiyan in heaven.
Heaven? Damn it, she was alive and well.
Han Xue felt even more annoyed when she was reminded of the fact that He Xiyan was still alive and well.
Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her left hand… as though someone had bitten her.
“Ah…” she shrieked loudly and when she looked down, she saw the little girl who had bitten her.
“Ye Zixi…” Han Xue yelled angrily and shook her left hand with such force that Xi Xi almost landed on the ground.
Xi Xi took a few steps backward and clenched her jaw angrily. Her face was completely flushed because she was extremely livid.
“I’m going to tell my dad that you’re burning my mom’s stuff,” she yelled angrily with her hands on her hips.
Han Xue glanced at this brat in irritation and ran her hand over the part that had been bitten. There was a deep teeth imprint on her left hand and her wound had even started to bleed.
She was done with that terrible brat.
“Go ahead and tell him. I wasn’t the one who insisted on burning these items in the first place,” she huffed in annoyance. Her patience had been worn down by this spoiled brat.
Her mother-in-law Xia Jingshu was the one who told her to burn these items. She had initially planned on asking the maids at the castle to burn these items but no one wanted to touch the items of the deceased for fear of bringing bad luck upon them. She was hopping mad because no one dared to burn these items.
“Waah” Xi Xi suddenly sat on the floor, rubbed at her eyes and started to howl loudly.
Han Xue ignored her and continued to burn He Xiyan’s belongings.
There were so many things to burn and she was still not done even after 10 minutes.
Xia Jingshu was wheeled out of the castle with the help of a maid and she immediately saw the blazing bonfire and her granddaughter Xi Xi standing nearby when she emerged from the castle.
“What’s wrong, Xi Xi…” Xia Jingshu asked. She didn’t understand why her granddaughter was crying so sorrowfully.
Xi Xi continued to sit on the floor. She knew that her grandmother was talking to her but she refused to approach her grandmother because she knew that her grandmother had ordered her mother’s belongings to be burned.
“Xi Xi, come here,” Xia Jingshu said once more and gestured for the maids to carry Xi Xi to her.
Wang Lan pulled Xi Xi up roughly and Xi Xi struggled violently as she sobbed and left several shoe imprints on Wang Lan’s pants from her frantic kicks.
“Let me go!” Xi Xi shrieked loudly and her shrieks and sobs could be heard throughout the castle.
Wang Lan ignored her and carried Xi Xi to Xia Jingshu’s side.
Xia Jingshu stretched out her hand and wanted to give Xi Xi a comforting pat on the head.
