Jiang Nuan was sitting on the stone steps, vaguely still the same as when he first entered Beijing that year.
Zong Tianbao walked over from nowhere, wearing a sapphire blue arrow sleeve. He looked at Jiang Nuan and said with a smile: "Nuan, I have to leave. Come and say goodbye to you."
Jiang Nuan seemed to have trouble remembering something and asked him: "Where are you going? Isn't your home in the capital?"
Zong Tianbao looked at her, his eyes full of reluctance, and he only left one sentence at the end: "Take care, I will always let you down in this life."
He turned around and left. Jiang Nuan wanted to catch up, but fell down and woke up suddenly.
It was late at night, and Jiang Nuan was in a daze, feeling bad.
She went to visit Zong Tianbao during the day, but she only stayed for a while and then came back.
It was raining outside the window, and Jiang Nuan was sitting with her knees folded. She couldn't help but think of the time when she took care of Zong Tianbao at the Zong family, it was also late spring.
In fact, after Jiang Nuan married Huo Tian, she rarely remembered her past with Zong Tianbao.
It seemed like it was just a big dream I had when I was young, destined to be forgotten.
But maybe it was because of the dream just now that the memory of the past suddenly became clear.
Jiang Nuan knew very well that she had no personal affection for Zong Tianbao, but after all, he was someone she had known since childhood and had had marital disputes with him.
Jiang Nuan still hopes that he will be well and nothing will happen to him.
The rain continued until Pingming, and Jiang Nuan stayed awake.
She had a bad feeling in her heart, which was very strong.
Sure enough, at dawn, the mourners from the Zong family arrived.
It is said that Zong Tianbao died in the middle of the night and had stopped breathing.
Jiang Nuan cried a lot and sent people off to attend the funeral.
"Please pay more tributes and I will go there after the funeral the day after tomorrow." Jiang Nuan said.
At this time, the Zong family was in mourning.
Lord Zong and Mrs. Zong could not bear the blow, and they both fell down.
The second young lady, Zong Yuwei, was busy consulting doctors and taking care of her parents.
Jiang Qing was like crazy, insisting on asking everyone to open the coffin and say that Zong Tianbao was not dead.
Zong Yuxiang endured the pain to maintain the overall situation and ordered the maid and mother-in-law to send the eldest grandma back to the room so as not to scare the young master.
Zong Tianbao is only in his early twenties now, which is a good age.
He was usually a righteous man, and he had no palace. Those who knew him couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
Meng and Jiang Yinzhi couldn't hold on any longer, as if they had aged ten years all of a sudden.
Jiang Qing became a widow as soon as Zong Tianbao died.
She is young, and there are still decades to come, and she doesn’t know how hard she will endure to get through it.
Meng's tears were about to dry up. The fate she had planned so hard for her daughter had now become like this.
No matter how many times I calculated, I never expected that Zong Tianbao was actually a short-lived ghost!
If he had known this, he should have let Jiang Nuan marry him!
But no matter what she thought, there was nowhere in the world to buy a regret medicine.
And we have to find ways to comfort our daughter. The son-in-law is gone, so we can’t bring our daughter into it anymore, right?
Jiang Qing cried so hard that she regretted having a fight with Zong Tianbao. If she had not fought with him that day, Zong Tianbao would not have fallen down and passed out.
At the same time, he was also afraid that his parents-in-law would find out about this and blame him for Zong Tianbao's death.
Of course, I feel more sorry for myself.
In the days to come, she will have to live as a widow, no longer able to wear bright clothes, and even have to avoid any happy and lively places.
People will also regard her as an unlucky person. She can only wait until Xing Geer grows up to gain the reputation of a chaste woman.
But so what? It’s just a false name.
Compared to spending decades alone in a cold quilt and spending time in solitude, what can a gold-made archway do?
On the day of Zong Tianbao's funeral, Jiang Nuan also came.
She wore imperial clothes to look dignified.
"Uncle Zong, Aunt Zong, please express my condolences." Jiang Nuan stepped forward and spoke warmly.
The Zong family couple was so choked with tears that they couldn't speak. They held Jiang Nuan's hand and couldn't say a word.
But Jiang Qing suddenly pounced from behind, like a mad dog.
"What are you doing here?! Are you here to see my joke?!" Jiang Qing was pulled by the crowd and couldn't get close to Jiang Nuan, so she could only shout loudly, "Why wasn't you the one who became a widow?!"
Jiang Nuan was not the only one who came here to pay his respects. Seeing Jiang Qing behaving like this, everyone felt that she was not worthy.
When she and Zong Tianbao got married, everyone didn't say anything, but they could roughly guess what was going on.
What's rare is that Jiang Nuanren never said anything about them, not to mention that she is also Jiang Qing's sister anyway.
Is there any sense in cursing your sister at your husband's funeral?
That Zong Tianbao was already dead once, but it was Jiang Nuan who saved him.
Jiang Qing was not lucky enough to have her husband killed, yet she still had the nerve to question her sister.
"Ah Nuan, don't be the same as her. Auntie will apologize to you." Mrs. Zong was mentally and physically exhausted, and now this situation made her feel even more ugly.
"It doesn't matter, Auntie," Jiang Nuan said, "I won't take it to heart."
"Pull Grandma down! She's lost her mind and gone crazy!" Zong Yuxiang came up and ordered the servants.
Is making trouble at this time making it difficult for her brother to even leave peacefully?
This Jiang Qing is so inappropriate!
The Zong sisters are now very prejudiced against Jiang Qing.
There is no airtight wall in the world, but they still heard about the fight between Jiang Qing and Zong Tianbao that day.
I was just afraid that my parents wouldn't be able to bear it, and I also wanted my brother to die in dignity and peace, so I held back and didn't pursue the matter.
Who would have thought that Jiang Qing would seek death at this time? I'm afraid she's not crazy.
Those maids and women dragged Jiang Qing back to life.
Her clothes were torn and her hair was disheveled, making her look like a crazy woman.
"If you still want to stay in the Zong family, just be honest." Zong Yuxiang warned Jiang Qing, "Don't lose your identity!"
Jiang Qing didn't dare to contradict her, so she just sat there and cried.
Zong Yuxiang didn't even bother to look at her anymore, this loser! He shouldn't have let his brother marry her in the first place!
"Keep an eye on Grandma, don't let her go out and embarrass herself again." Zong Yuxiang said these words coldly and left.
Someone had to take care of the guests outside, so she was too lazy to talk to Jiang Qing.
"Ah Qing, what are you making a fuss about? Didn't Mom tell you everything?" Meng rushed over and cried to persuade her, "It's not good for you to make such a fuss. You have to stay here in the future. You should endure it."
You still have to endure it.”
"Mom, I know, but what can I do?" Jiang Qing cried willfully, "Why do I have to endure it? He has someone else in his heart, and I have to endure it; he is indifferent to me, and I have to endure it.
With.
I endured it for a long time, but he died and left me a widow for decades. Why am I so miserable!"
"Good boy, this is fate! Just bear with it! Just hold on!" Meng cried while hugging her daughter, "Mom knows you are feeling miserable, but there is no other way right now!"
No matter how deep her castle is, no matter how scheming she is, she still cannot calculate her fate.
It's just that even at this time, the mother and daughter did not reflect that it was their own sins that led to such evil consequences.
