Li Shuya was lying on the couch. The bed curtains were goose-yellow, reflecting her pale face, pointed chin, and dull eyes. She didn't react at all when they entered the door.
Shu Yao rushed forward, grabbed her hand, and gently called her sister. Seeing her like this, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore and fell down quietly.
Li Cunyi followed him in. Because he was his biological uncle, he no longer paid attention to avoidance or avoidance. Seeing his niece who used to run around like this, Li Cunyi felt sad from the bottom of his heart and burst into tears.
He came up. But he was still a little angry. How could a good person be treated like this? He shook his fingers, shed tears, pointed at Xu’s mother and asked angrily:
"Tell me, what's going on? Are the people in the Duke's Mansion angry with the young lady because of my uncle's death? Why is this place like this? How do you serve people? If someone dares to treat the young lady harshly, who cares?
The country is not governed by the government, and the country is not governed by the government. Let’s take the eldest lady and leave immediately!”
Li Cunyi was tall and thin, and his whole body was trembling a little at this time. He said this somewhat out of temper, but in this situation, if you don't have a temperament, it will be obvious that you are full of bones.
When the people who followed saw this, they hurriedly knelt on the ground. Mother Xu faced Li Cunyi's finger and took a few steps forward on her knees. Her tears were like broken beads, falling down and saying:
"Second Master, you are a relative...a dearest relative!" As she said this, she couldn't keep up her tears. Seeing her like this, Mother Liu on the side felt anxious, handed over a handkerchief, and whispered:
"Sister Xu, don't be too busy feeling sad, and quickly answer that the second master is serious."
Mother Xu calmed down and hid her tears before continuing:
"Go back to the second master, our eldest lady is not treated harshly in this house... It is really that our eldest lady has gone too far! When my uncle left, most of my eldest lady's heart also went with him. She just lay there without eating, drinking or talking.
...How can this be possible? She is still pregnant, and if this continues...what can we do!"
After saying that, he started crying again.
Li Cunyi froze with his outstretched fingers, and felt mixed emotions in his heart. So that's it, that's it! It's not that someone is being harsh, it's that he can't live with himself. But death is like a lamp going out, no one has the power to recover.
Now that people have let go of their hands, those who are alive must live on. He glanced at the expressionless Shu Ya lying on the bed, hammered his hands bitterly, and sat on a chair nearby as if he was discouraged.
Mother Xu was still crying. Although the crying gradually became quieter, Shu Yao still felt irritable. She held her sister's hand and stroked it. She felt in her heart that Mother Xu was getting more and more ignorant as she got older. What was she doing crying here? She really thought
Cry in the mourning hall. After enduring it again and again, he turned around and said:
"Mother Xu, thank you for your hard work. Now go down and wash your face. Sister, I'm here. Also, close these windows and doors. It's so cold that people will get sick from the cold."
Mother Xu slowly stood up from the ground and was about to leave. When Shu Yao said this, she choked her voice and whispered:
"The door and window were opened by the eldest lady... She said she was afraid that my uncle's soul would come back, so she opened the door and window to let him in..."
Shu Yao even felt that Mother Xu was getting old and confused. Even if her sister ordered so, she couldn't really do it in the cold weather. She frowned and said slowly:
"Go and close it. You said that my sister is pregnant and can't bear the cold. Close the doors and windows and bring in a few more braziers."
Xu's mother agreed and asked people to close the doors and windows. The room immediately felt much better. After a while, everyone dispersed, leaving only the two maids Shu Ya used to have in the room. They served tea to Li Cunyi and Shu Yao.
He just stood aside and lowered his eyes.
Li Cunyi sat there for a while. Although he felt sorry for his niece, he had never been close to her since he was a child. Even though he had a thousand words to say at this moment, he could not utter a single word and could only sigh deeply.
