Chapter 241: Watching Over the Spirit
Madam goes out, I have to accompany you. The King has ordered that your safety is my responsibility from now on," Qingzhu guessed her thoughts and immediately stated her position.Qin Luoyan nodded, it...When they returned to the Wu Xuan Wangfu, the sky had turned a somber gray. In just a few moments, the world would be swallowed by complete darkness.
Because of this sudden assassination, the wedding feast was completely ruined. The man in black threw Qin LuoYan into her own room and then left. He was elusive, arriving silently and leaving without anyone noticing.
Qin Luoyan was still wearing the celebratory attire from the day. The room was dark, with no one to light a lamp. She sat on a stool, her gaze fixed on the floor beside the table. That was where Qingzhu had fallen when he died.
She told herself, indulging in sorrow was only allowed for a moment!
So she sat quietly until the sky was completely dark, then she got up and found a tinderbox to light the candles.
A moment later, it arrived.
The maids and servants in the courtyard were startled by a sudden light inside the house. After all, someone had died here during the day, so the timid ones avoided it from afar. A few bold ones gathered together to investigate.
A housemaid pushed open the door to the room, and saw a woman in red wedding attire standing with her back to the door. One of them must have been frightened because they screamed, and the others followed suit.
"Ghost!"
Qin Luo'yan let out a long sigh, and when she came back to her senses, she saw several maidservants and housekeepers had already run far away. She wanted to call them back, but as soon as the words left her mouth, dozens of guards appeared in the courtyard. After the incident with Tian Bai, the defense here had become even stricter.
At the head was Kaneki, he raised his sword and came over, after seeing Qin Luo's face, he kicked over the house servant who had been screaming earlier, "It's Madam, what are you shouting about!"
Several maids and servants, upon closer inspection, realized that the woman in the red wedding attire was Qin Luoyan. They hurriedly crept to Qin Luoyan's feet and kowtowed, apologizing profusely.
Qin Luoyan ignored the maidservant and servant who had admitted their mistake. She only looked at Jin Mu, "Where is Xiao Yu Jing"
"Don't worry, madam. Once the Master returns, he will personally take care of everything. It's just..." Jin Mu seemed to want to speak but hesitated. After much deliberation, he gritted his teeth and said: "The Master seems to be in a bad mood, and moreover, he didn't say anything about you coming back, so the servants acted inappropriately."
"Oh." Qin Luoyan replied.
As it turned out, he had never said she would be back.
Does he think her body is dirty and therefore despises her Didn't he even give her a chance to explain The more she thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed. Even if she had truly gone through something like this, shouldn't the one who was most hurt be the woman He didn't even offer comfort or help her through this difficult time, and instead got angry with her
Such a man...
Qin Luo'yan couldn't help but let out a few chuckles, Jin Mu saw her smile, and felt a little puzzled. Just as he was about to say something comforting, she asked, "Where's Qingzhu"
"The Lord has decreed a burial for Qingzhu with respect. Preparations are already underway, and the funeral will take place tomorrow morning." As a maid, she wasn't a mistress, so even though she was to be buried respectfully, it wouldn't be like an ordinary family carefully selecting auspicious dates for the funeral. This was already very generous. For ordinary maids, they were either buried in mass graves or simply dug a hole and buried them when they died.
So-called lavish burials are nothing more than an extra grave and an extra tombstone. Human life in this time and space is so cheap.
"Where is the mourning hall set up" Qin Luoyan asked.
Kimi froze, looking at Qin Luo'yan with some strangeness. "Because she was a slave, there wouldn't be a spirit altar set up for her. Even if there was, no one would stay to watch over her."
Upon hearing this, Qin Luoyan felt a heavy weight in her chest, a lump of emotion stuck in her throat making her feel incredibly uncomfortable. Finally, she coughed lightly and choked out, "Find a secluded and deserted courtyard, and an empty room to set up a memorial hall. I'll go there to keep vigil for her."
The moment she spoke, not only did Kaneki's face change, but the expressions of everyone present turned grim.
There has never been a case where a master guards the wake for their servant. It's unheard of! Servants are lowly, while masters are precious. There's no reason why a master would guard the wake of a servant.
"No, no!" Kinuki hurriedly shook his head and refused. "Lady is now the concubine of Duke Wuxuan, her status is noble, she absolutely cannot go to guard the spirit for a servant girl. I think Qingzhuquan will know if Lady is kind."
A trace of bleak amusement curled up at Qin Luoyan's lips. She was a concubine, her status honorable It was laughable how fragile this marriage was; it crumbled into a muddy mess over just a whisper, a phantom accusation.
"My words are no match for Fu Zimo's, aren't they" Because her heart was filled with desolation, Qin Luoyan's voice had a touch of coldness. "Why don't you ask Fu Zimo, just ask him if I can go to Qingzhu's funeral. Tell him that if he doesn't allow it, I will do as he wishes and end my life with three feet of white silk. That way, I can satisfy him and save him from embarrassment."
Jin Mu looked at Qin Luo Yan in astonishment. He didn't know what had happened, but since the King returned, he could clearly feel the atmosphere was off. The King didn't speak, and he didn't dare to ask. Now it seemed that even Qin Luo Yan's heart was filled with resentment.
When gods fight, the little demons suffer. Knowing that both of them were in a bad mood, Jinmu couldn't afford to offend either, so he just responded with a sound and then turned to leave.
Qin Luoyan stood at the doorway, waiting. She didn't move, and the others dared not make any sudden movements either.
So, an hour of tea passed. When Jin Mu returned, the kneeling maidservant and houseboy remained kneeling, and the guards standing beside them continued to watch their noses and hearts without moving.
"How did he say it" Qin Luoyan said coldly.
Jin Mu bowed respectfully, and replied, “The King said, ‘Do as you please.’”
Qin Luoyan softly snorted, "Then get to it quickly."
"Yes." Kaneki quickly led the person away, and as he left, he casually dismissed the several maidservants and housekeepers who were still kneeling and dared not move.
Soon, only Qin Luoyan was left in the house.
The night breeze was cool, she wore this high-quality silk wedding dress, but didn't feel cold. It's just that when everyone left, there was no coldness on her face, only endless sadness.
An hour later, Qin Luoyan changed into a white dress and, led by Jin Mu, arrived at a secluded courtyard. The Wuxuan Wangfu was vast, and even after living there for some time, she still often couldn't tell north from south.
In the small courtyard, lights were shining brightly. Two maids in white dresses stood at the door. When they saw Qin Luoyan approaching, they respectfully knelt down and bowed.
The mourning hall was set up in the courtyard's main hall. White drapes hung from every direction of the eaves, fluttering gently in the night breeze. Despite the movement, there wasn't a hint of life within, making it appear even more desolate.
