154 I’m Sorry

In fact, Master Fang was also dissatisfied with the emperor and the crown prince. A girl who had died before she was even married could not be buried in her ancestral grave, nor could she be buried in her husband’s home. She had really become a lonely ghost.

“My daughter, my poor daughter! If I had known that you would lose your life by becoming the crown princess, I would never have agreed to this marriage. My daughter, it’s your mother who has let you down.” Madam Fang’s cries were hoarse. Master Fang coaxed her for a while, but there was nothing he could do. He could only let the maidservants take Madam Fang away. If Madam Fang’s words were to spread, their family would not have a good ending. However, Master Fang was still suspicious. Before Fang Yu was engaged to the crown prince, his daughter, Fang Yu, had been in good health. She had not even caught a cold. However, after the engagement, she had fallen ill and never stopped taking medicine. At the beginning of last year, Fang Yu’s illness had gotten worse. It was said that she was beyond cure and could die at any time. It was only when the palace began the selection of concubines that her illness became worse. It was as if she had been destined to not live past the selection of concubines.

“Miss, this servant has bought your favorite date cake. Miss, please have some before you leave.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Miss, these are the clothes that have been made a long time ago. You wanted to give them to the crown prince after you get married, but you can’t give them to him now. Miss, please take them with you.” The servant girl knelt beside the brazier and burned Fang Yu’s clothes and the poems she usually wrote. When the people of the Fang family heard the servant girl’s words, they cried even harder.

The little servant girl who was kneeling on the ground and burning joss paper did not say a word. She was Fang Yu’s favorite. At this moment, her face was pale, her body was trembling, and her lips were trembling, “Young Miss, don’t be afraid. I’ll be there to accompany you soon. Young Miss, it’s this servant who has let you down. This servant has accompanied you here, and I’ll be by your side on the road to the netherworld. In the next life, I’ll do anything for you to atone for my sins. This servant has no choice. This servant has a father, a mother, and brothers and sisters. I really have no choice. I’ve let Young Miss down,” the servant girl said in a low voice. She was crying so loudly that no one could hear what she said. They only saw her suddenly stand up and rush toward the coffin. With a clang, the maidservant was knocked to death on the coffin. Blood splattered everywhere, and her body fell limply beside the coffin.

!!

The people around were so shocked that they cried out. The huge change in the mourning hall had caused everyone to be unable to come back to their senses. Coincidentally, a gust of wind blew in, and the mourning hall rang with clanking sounds. The Fang family members felt their hair stand on end. One by one, they bowed to the coffin.

“Little sister, you can go in peace. You and the crown prince are not fated. You can be husband and wife in your next life.”

“Little sister, although you died early, our family still misses you. Besides, with your illness, our family really can’t do anything about it, ” The sisters of the Fang family said, hoping that Fang Yu would not turn into a ghost and come to settle scores with them after she died.

“What nonsense are you saying? A person’s death is like the extinguishing of a lamp. Don’t talk nonsense and delude people’s hearts!” Master Fang roared, and the people in the room quieted down a little. However, the dead body of the servant girl was still on the ground, fresh blood flowing everywhere. It was particularly horrifying, and everyone could not help but retreat a little.

Master Fang had lost his daughter and was extremely sorrowful. He personally went forward to cover Fang Yu’s coffin. Seeing his daughter’s corpse lying in the coffin, his heart ached again.

At this moment, the Fang family’s butler, who was dressed in white, ran over with an angry expression and reported, “Master, someone from the palace has come and said that he wants to see the young lady’s burial.”

Master Fang was stunned.

“It’s the people from the empress’ palace,” the butler continued.

As the butler spoke, a nanny walked forward and entered the mourning hall to light an incense stick for Fang Yu. She also burned some paper money and knelt on the futon, saying to Fang Yu’s coffin, “You child, you left in such a hurry. When the empress heard the news yesterday, her heart trembled. The empress’ heart ached for you. You child, you were about to marry the crown prince. How could you just die like this?” The nanny said as she wiped her tears, crying sincerely.

Outsiders said that the empress doted on Fang Yu, so she had sent someone to see her off. However, Master Fang understood that the empress was afraid that Fang Yu would not be buried soon. If she was not buried, the crown prince would not be able to choose a new crown princess. He had never known that the empress was so vicious!

After the nanny sent by the empress had finished burning incense for Fang Yu, she stood in a hidden corner. It seemed like she did not interfere with the Fang family’s funeral, but Old Master Fang knew that she was urging the Fang family to quickly bury Fang Yu!
