C11 Du Heng Was Buried

"Is there going to be a storm?"

This was not a poem from this world, Su Manjing thought, her face full of confusion. Fortunately, she was also from a noble family and could roughly understand what her aunt meant.

She had a feeling that something bad was about to happen. Otherwise, her aunt would not have said such a thing.

"Aunt, do you mean that something big is going to happen?"

Su Ziwan did not answer her. She continued to look at her account book. There were some things that she needed to think about herself. The flowers in the greenhouse could not bear the storm that would follow.

She did not want to take care of a burden who did not understand anything.

Su Manjing naturally didn't know what she was thinking, but she also had her own thoughts. She knew that her father and aunt must be hiding something from her.

"Although I don't understand what happened, Manjing will definitely accompany my aunt and father to solve this problem together!"

Su Ziwan looked at Su Manjing's determined expression and smiled in satisfaction.

It was not until evening that Su Manjing left the Glory Courtyard. When she passed by the road to Su Lingyou's study, she could not help but stop.

"Qingluo, come with me to see Father."

The servant girl called Qingluo had been following Su Manjing, so she knew what the young miss meant. Knowing that she could not stop her, she could only follow.

In fact, Su Manjing rarely came here. There was also a small study room in the backyard, and Su Lingyou would go there when he was free.

The study was mostly used for business purposes. Su Manjing knew a little about the current situation, so her father definitely wouldn't be in the study.

When he arrived at the study, Su Lingyou was indeed there. There were more documents on the table than usual. Su Lingyou was so engrossed in handling the matter that he did not even notice Su Manjing's entrance.

Su Manjing poured a cup of tea and placed it on the desk. It was only then that Su Lingyou noticed that his little daughter had come over.

He couldn't help but cough twice.

"Father, your body has just recovered. It is not suitable for you to work hard. Aunt is the same. She hasn't recovered yet. She is taking care of the accounts today."

"As an official, I have to fulfill my duty. Besides, there is a war now, so of course I have to work harder. Your aunt is married now, so of course she can't be the same as usual."

If it was before, Su Lingyou would definitely have found another reason to deal with it. But now, he needed his daughter to grow up. Only then would he be able to better protect himself in this chaotic world.

Her father and aunt's words were much heavier than usual. Su Manjing felt a trace of uneasiness. She was even more certain that she had been hidden something.

Su Manjing had lost her mother since she was young, and she had grown up in such an environment. Naturally, she was much more sensitive than other girls her age. This was also the reason why Su Lingyou did not send her to her grandmother's house. The Celestial Shining Mirror had predicted that the outcome would not be any better.

Moreover, when Su Ziwan found out, she was even more opposed to it. The result of her guess was almost the same as the result of the Celestial Shining Mirror's deduction.

Su Ziwan, who came from another world, could naturally guess the result. This was clearly Lin Daiyu from Dream of the Red Chamber. How could anything good come out of living under someone else's roof?

"Oh, and if you feel sorry for your aunt, you should help her. Housekeeper Su and Wet Nurse Su are getting old, and in the future, your aunt will have to make the decisions for our family..."

Although she didn't know what was going on, Su Manjing still nodded sensibly.

However, Su Manjing quickly realized that this matter was far from simple.

Not only did her aunt look at the account book, but she was also counting the family property. When Su Ziwan was counting, she was also by her side.

Looking at these unnerving actions, as Su Lingyou's body grew weaker and weaker, it deepened the fear in Su Manjing's heart.

She always felt that there was something even more terrifying waiting for him.

The stewards in charge of the estates throughout the Lanshore also came one after another, and Su Manjing followed her father and aunt to see them one by one.

All of these things made Su Manjing afraid in the end.

She always felt that her father was making funeral arrangements. However, she did not dare to ask. She did not dare to ask her father, whose health was getting worse and worse. She did not dare to ask her aunt, who was gradually taking over the Su family. She could only secretly cry in the night when there was no one around.

In the living room of the front courtyard of the Su family.

"My lord, the food that was collected has been transported to the border. The military salary is almost complete. It's just that..."

"The lake water rose too quickly, right?"

Nobody answered. The lord who answered nodded.

Su Lingyou had seen all of these things in the Celestial Shining Mirror. Originally, the rain in the Lanshore was already more abundant than in other areas, and with the addition of the expiration date, this was normal.

But the levee had been reinforced only last year, and this year they had just received food and pay, and it would be even harder for the people to repair it.

Su Lingyou coughed a few times and waved his hand to dismiss everyone. Only after everyone had left did Tiandong bring Su Manjing in. Originally, Su Manjing had already arrived, but when she saw her father discussing matters, she did not let Tiandong come in to report.

When Su Manjing saw her father's appearance, she was on the verge of tears.

"Manjing, come with me to the study room."

Su Lingyou held Su Manjing's hand and went to the study. Su Manjing deeply felt her father's hand. It was far from being as strong as usual, but it was as warm as before.

"What do you want to tell me?"

Su Manjing had been preparing questions for a long time, but at this moment, she could not ask them. She just sat on the chair and cried.

Seeing his daughter like this, Su Lingyou did not ask anymore. He knew that his daughter must have sensed something, but he couldn't tell her anything. His time was almost up, and he couldn't stay in this world for too long.

He walked over and hugged his daughter. Since he couldn't say anything, at least he could give her the last bit of warmth.

Tomorrow was the day of Du Heng's burial.

The Du family had already sent someone to inform them. It was Wet Nurse Wen herself.

At this time, Su Ziwan was packing for the Su family's little sister. Su Ziwan found the letters between them based on her memory. She packed all of them and prepared to take them tomorrow.

Perhaps this was the last thing she could do for them.

Qiu Shui and Icydew both stared at their master when they were heading to the Du family. They were scared that she would do something crazy. They also knew about the matter between her and Du Heng. Except for Su Lingyou, no one in the entire Su family knew that Su Ziwan was no longer the Su Ziwan of the past. If it was the past Su Ziwan, there was really a possibility of her dying for love.

According to the rules of this world, Su Ziwan was also dressed in white today. The members of the Du family looked at Su Ziwan with a complicated expression. At first, they thought that Su Ziwan would not be able to hear them, but they did not expect it to be better now.

Looking at Su Ziwan's expression, they felt that she was here to die for love today.

She took the box from Autumn Water and wanted to follow the pallbearers down.

Everyone was crying. Seeing that Su Ziwan was about to go down, Mrs. Du quickly pulled her back.

"Ziwan, according to the rules, you don't have to go down..."

Mrs. Du's voice was hoarse from crying, but at this moment, she still held onto Su Ziwan tightly, not letting her go down.

She also knew the relationship between Su Ziwan and her son, so it wasn't impossible for her to go down and die for him. If that was the case, Su Lingyou would probably have to fight the Du family to the death.

At this moment, Wet Nurse Wen also came forward and advised Su Ziwan:

"Young Madam, if you have something to leave for Young Master, just let the servants take it down. Your body is just fine. It's cool down there. Don't catch a cold."

"I am just going down to put something down and say something. I will be back soon."

Seeing that Su Ziwan insisted on going down, Wet Nurse Wen also came over and took her arm. It was as if once Su Ziwan went down, she would never be able to come back up again. Autumn Water and Cold Dew saw this and also came over to stop her.

Su Ziwan was stunned. She had only gone down to give him something and say a few words. What did it matter? Why did everyone feel that they were going down to die for love?

If she really wanted to die for love, she wouldn't have to wait until today, right?

Seeing these people stop her, Su Ziwan couldn't help but feel sad for the Su family's little sister. After Du Heng was buried, someone would come over to burn paper money. However, after the Su family's little sister died, no one knew about it. Even Su Lingyou soon disappeared from this world. Only he could use the excuse of burning paper for Du Heng to burn some for the Su family's little sister in the future. In the ancestral hall of the Su family, there was only an empty memorial tablet.

Thinking of this, Su Ziwan's desire to go down became even stronger.

No matter what, she had to do these things.

Su Ziwan gently held Mrs. Du's hand and said, "Mother, please let me go. I left these things for Heng and said a few words to him before coming up. Don't worry, my body is already very good. I still have to be filial to you in the future."

Hearing Su Ziwan's words, Mrs. Du suddenly felt that her son did not like the wrong person. Even if there was an accident, he had left her with a good daughter-in-law.

"Alright, then let Wet Nurse Wen accompany you down. After all, it's not that bright down there. It's better to be careful."

With that, he handed Su Ziwan over to Wet Nurse Wen. Wet Nurse Wen had followed Mrs. Du from Huazhou to marry into the Du family, so she naturally understood what he meant. Seeing that Su Ziwan did not object, she helped her down.

They stopped at the entrance.

"Grandma, wait here. I'll come over after saying a few words."

Seeing that the Young Madam's expression didn't change, Wet Nurse Wen didn't insist on going with her. She just watched from afar to prevent any accidents from happening.

When she arrived in front of the coffin, Su Ziwan gently put down the box. Before she could say anything, tears began to flow down her face.

She knelt on the ground and pretended to cry. Her voice was very soft:

"Although I have never seen you before, I still hope that your souls can meet. Here are the letters you wrote to each other, and the wedding dress. I have brought it all to you..."

Su Ziwan told Du Heng everything the Su family's little sister had told her before she died, if his soul was still there. Just as she was about to kowtow and leave, a gust of wind blew, bringing with it a cold that did not match the season.

Wet Nurse Wen, who was standing at the entrance, couldn't help but shiver. When she saw that Su Ziwan had finished kowtowing, she quickly went forward to support her.

"Young Madam, let's go out. It's almost time."

Although Du Heng was brought up by Wet Nurse Wen, he was a little scary at this moment. Naturally, Su Ziwan was not afraid. She believed that the gust of wind just now was Du Heng's response to her.

Seeing that Su Ziwan had come out safely, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

"Seal the tomb!"

After Su Ziwan came up, it was almost time to seal the tomb. Because she still had to be buried together a hundred years from now, she would not seal the tomb tightly. After that, there was another bunch of formalities that took a long time to finish.

When everyone returned, Su Ziwan and Mrs. Du rode in a carriage. Just now, Mrs. Du noticed that her body was already swaying a little. She quickly brought her to her carriage and asked Wet Nurse Wen to prepare food and tea for her.

"Your body is just a little better. I'm afraid you're starving now. Hurry up and eat some."

Su Ziwan did not refuse and started to wolf down her food.

When they arrived at the entrance of Su Manor, Mrs. Du held her hand.
