Xie Yunzhen locked himself in the room, staying with Mingzhu and the child for three whole days.

During this ti, he carefully stitched up Mingzhu’s wounds and cleaned the dirt from her body.

He clumsily applied makeup for her.

Xie Yunzhen had never done this before, and despite several attempts, he wasn’t satisfied.

Knowing Mingzhu loved beauty, afraid to upset her, he would wipe it clean ti and again, starting over from the beginning.

He didn’t know how many tis he tried, until finally creating a delicate peach blossom makeup.

After applying the makeup, he styled Mingzhu’s hair.

Then, dressed her in the most radiant new clothes sewn for their wedding.

Throughout the process, Xie Yunzhen was frighteningly calm, as if Mingzhu was rely asleep.

Holding her in front of the bronze mirror, he gently asked: "How is it, do you like it?"

The person in his arms was silent, her head resting on his shoulder, inadvertently drooping powerlessly.

Xie Yunzhen tried to tug at the corners of his mouth, holding her head, saying "Still as beautiful."

Then he leaned in to kiss Mingzhu’s cheek.

The maid Gold was allowed to enter the room to select Mingzhu’s favorite jewelry for her.

Seeing Xie Yunzhen’s actions, she was so scared she didn’t dare breathe.

Not only did the Young Master talk to his wife, but he also kissed her...

Has he gone mad?

She quickly picked a golden hairpin without looking more.

"Madam liked sumptuous jewelry, but there was never a suitable occasion to wear them. Normally, Madam feared others would think she was ostentatious, not steady."

The phoenix on the hairpin spread its wings, unlike the plain hairpins she usually wore.

Xie Yunzhen raised his hand to take it, pinned it into her hair bun, the tassel dangling briefly before settling.

Imagining the scene of her walking with the tassel swaying, Xie Yunzhen’s eyes grew moist.

Marrying him, Mingzhu suffered grievances.

Otherwise, why did even wearing jewelry require considering others’ opinions?

After staring at Mingzhu for a long ti, Xie Yunzhen finally asked the question.

"Did she leave any words for ?"

Gold shook her head, "The situation was urgent, Madam left not a single word."

Thinking of her own Madam’s hopeless appearance, Gold couldn’t help but sob quietly.

"That day, Madam personally prepared food and went to the study to look for you, Young Master, why weren’t you there?"

Not only was he absent, but during Madam’s difficult childbirth, he went out of the city with Qingi.

Gold thought, Madam might have died from anger.

If the Young Master had restrained himself, wouldn’t handle things so heartlessly, Madam might have had the will to survive.

Xie Yunzhen couldn’t answer, even with a thousand reasons, a mistake was a mistake.

He simply did not expect that day, Mingzhu actually went to the study to find him.

"Madam was distracted, causing her to fall on the steps. Young Master, it was you and Madam Zheng’s lack of boundaries that hard Madam and the little master!"

These words had been suppressed in Gold’s heart for a long ti.

She didn’t know if the Duke Mansion would have a new Young Madam in the future, even if there was, it couldn’t be Du Peilan.

Otherwise, if Madam knew underground, she would be so distressed.

If the outco couldn’t be changed, creating a rift between the Young Master and Du Peilan, at least these words were worth it.

Xie Yunzhen stared down at Mingzhu. In her final monts, was she hating him?

The lump in his throat moved, "Where is the food Madam made?"

"It was left in the garden, probably already disposed of."

The tightly shut door finally opened after three days, Princess An He thought her son had finally co to terms.

Unexpectedly, the first thing he did upon coming out was to order people to search for Mingzhu’s missing food box.

Learning the food box was disposed of, he flew into a rage.

Princess An He was so angry she almost spat blood, "Do you know how many people outside are laughing at you? Stop ssing around and quickly bury Mingzhu!"

When his wife was alive, he treated her coldly and went out of the city with Qingi to enjoy the scenery.

When his wife died in childbirth, he suddenly had an awakening, sticking by his wife and child without moving.

He didn’t even know how many versions of stories the outside had made up.

Thinking of his own family becoming a topic for idle chatter, Princess An He felt a surge of anger.

"If you don’t bury her soon, she’ll start to sll!"

"Mother!"

Xie Yunzhen clenched his fist, veins bulging on the back of his hand, restraining his emotions with great effort.

"Am I wrong? She’s dead, won’t take long before she rots and reeks, even if you worship her day and night, she won’t co back to life!"

With a crash, Xie Yunzhen slamd his fist against the door.

The solid wooden door creaked and tilted to the ground.

Princess An He patted her chest, gasping, "I think you’re possessed!"

Every word was like a knife stabbing into Xie Yunzhen.

He didn’t want to accept reality, yet everything kept painfully reminding him Mingzhu was dead.

She would never co back to life!

In sorrow, he kicked down another door.

He didn’t know whom to demand justice from, didn’t know how to act to bring Mingzhu back.

If she were to return, he would give up everything.

His ideals, ambitions, fa, fortune, the inheritance from a noble family, he didn’t want any of it.

As long as Mingzhu returned, he would accompany her for a lifeti!

Xie Yunzhen didn’t want Mingzhu and the child to be buried, nor did he allow anyone else to touch them.

Continuing with this disturbance wouldn’t work, the Old Lady ca up with an idea to light a sleeping scent in the room.

Princess An He felt sowhat uneasy, fearing her son might go mad upon waking.

Yet having the corpse in the house was very scary.

That day, Mingzhu died with her eyes open; her prolonged stay in the house might affect the Xie family’s fortune.

Thus, she agreed with the Old Lady’s suggestion.

The sleeping scent was lit, and the door locked, while Xie Yunzhen lay asleep, they buried Mingzhu in Xie family’s ancestral tomb.

For Princess An He and the Old Lady, allowing Mingzhu into the ancestral tomb was already generous treatnt of her.

It’s a pity the child passed away.

He was a boy!

When people die, all is extinguished; the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couldn’t hold Mingzhu accountable, nor could they put the bla on their own family.

After pondering, they felt Du Peilan bore significant responsibility.

She, a widow, didn’t stay ho properly, inviting a man to enjoy the scenery; this fox’s tail was indeed completely exposed!

The two conspired together, devising a plan to deal with Du Peilan.

They would just wait until everything cald down, then teach her a lesson!

The sleeping scent burned for two days.

When Xie Yunzhen woke, he panicked, barefoot, searching for the empty space beside him.

"Mingzhu, co out."

"Don’t hide..."

He looked behind the screens, checked the bathroom, and when he found no one, began rummaging through boxes.

He found the baby’s tiger shoes, tiger hat, and bib from the clothing box...

Xie Yunzhen was montarily dazed, realizing Mingzhu had already died in childbirth.

The enraged man grabbed his sword and slashed through the doors, causing the maids and old won in the courtyard to scream in fright.

One old maid tentatively said: "Madam, Madam has already been buried in the ancestral tomb."

As soon as the words were spoken, the man swiftly departed.

This brief marriage, Xie Yunzhen and Mingzhu were always missing each other.

He finally understood his heart, but lacked the opportunity to redeem.

Now, he had even missed the funeral.

Kneeling before those two new graves, Xie Yunzhen’s mind was empty, heart like it had a big hole.

The cold wind blew relentlessly, chilling him to the core.

Among this family of three, only he was left alone...
