319, Forgetting Each Other in the Martial World (3 Updates)
Yuan Cheng nodded one by one.
“All these things at ho were entrusted to your mother when she was alive, and the house isn’t worth much. Your brothers might not think much of it, but it can’t be neglected either. Even if you’re away, you have to take good care of it. When you co back, there will always be a foundation for you!”
Old Master Yuan didn’t have much else to instruct.
He called in his sons and daughters, sons-in-law, grandsons, and granddaughters, looking at each one of them.
They were all there.
Quite good.
Looking towards the door, as if hearing the sound of horse hooves, then a figure ran in.
“Grandpa…”
Old Master Yuan suddenly burst into laughter, “It’s Zhinuan, the girl!”
“Good that you’ve co back, good that you’ve co back. From now on, live a good life, live well!”
With that, he slowly closed his eyes and stopped breathing.
A smile remained on his lips.
Yuan Cheng and Yuan Wang’s eyes were red with emotion.
The old master was still thinking of Xie Zhinuan, but he didn’t know that it was just a dream he had before his death; Xie Zhinuan had left and did not return.
Yuan Cheng cried out, filled with endless regrets.
He never knew that in his old father’s heart, Xie Zhinuan was considered as family.
“That’s the girl he carried back, Doctor Wang said she couldn’t be saved, but he insisted on trying. The way she called him ‘grandpa’ made his heart bloom with joy,” Old Mrs. Ni said, before she started crying softly.
“If only none of that had happened!”
If none of that had happened, Zhinuan, no matter where she went, would always co back to visit him.
Now that their relationship was severed, he departed still pining for her.
Yuan Wang did not speak.
How much he wanted to catch up and tell Xie Zhinuan about grandpa’s constant thoughts of her, hoping she would co back to see him off, but he had no right, no right at all.
There is no dicine for regret in this world, and there will not be another chance.
“Let’s prepare for grandpa’s funeral,” Yuan Wang said softly.
Stepping out of the house, the young man had faced life and death and truly grown up.
On the carriage.
Xie Zhinuan opened her eyes, her pillow already soaking wet.
Auntie Chen wrung out a handkerchief and handed it to her, “Wipe your face.”
She didn’t ask Xie Zhinuan what she had dreamt about. To cry so sorrowfully, even in her sleep, had been silent tears.
Xie Zhinuan took it and wiped her face before speaking softly, “I dread that grandpa died. Before he passed away, I went to see him!”
Xie Zhinuan’s voice was choked with emotion.
That old man was actually a good person.
She had never blad him.
Only, after experiencing so much, they had a rift between them, and even in a reunion, she wouldn’t know where to start.
“…” Auntie Chen stayed silent.
Xie Zhinuan spoke softly, “Grandpa might really be gone!”
She pulled back the carriage window curtain.
“We’ll rest at a farmhouse for a while. Miss, do you want to co down and eat sothing?” Auntie Chen asked.
“Yes!”
No matter if it was true or not, she still had to move forward, to look ahead.
Upon looking back, apart from the life-saving grace that she should rember, she should let everything else go with the wind.
Yuan Family, farewell, it’s as if we are strangers now.
Stepping down from the carriage.
Xie Rong was holding Ayi, while Uncle Ya was feeding him egg custard.
“Mom!”
Ayi called out.
Hearing that, Xie Zhinuan felt warmth in her heart.
She stepped forward and pinched his little cheek.
“What are you eating? It slls so good!” Xie Zhinuan said gently.
“It’s egg custard made by the farr’s wife. It really does taste good. The al’s ready, let’s eat and get going!” Xie Rong spoke softly.
He was a bit worried about Xie Zhinuan.
“Okay,” Xie Zhinuan nodded.
Only then did she realize she had once stopped at this farmhouse as well.
But back then…
The farr’s wife didn’t recognize Xie Zhinuan. Firstly, it was night then, and secondly, Xie Zhinuan was dressed more richly today.
She didn’t dare to look directly.
After eating casually, Auntie Chen gave so silver, and they continued to rush towards the county town in the carriage.
