Chapter 999 - 227: Reluctant to Die_4
Old Scholar Fang’s face turned pale as he tremblingly picked up the two packets of medicine, tears streaming down his face.
Grandma Fang wept uncontrollably, her hoarse cries demanding the death of Yang Yulan.
The news was also sent to Fang Hui and the Feng family.
Fang Fu was discussing taking Lady Yu’s coffin back to her ancestral home in Yuanyang County for burial when Fang Hui and Feng Shouxing arrived.
"Now that my sister-in-law has suddenly passed away, Liuming will have to observe three years of mourning, won’t he!" As soon as Fang Hui arrived, she didn’t lament over Lady Yu; instead, she said this first.
Pei Qian, who was pregnant, had been asked by Lady Yu to keep her distance before she died, fearing any harm to the child in her womb. Pei Qian didn’t want to but still donned hemp and filial attire along with Fang Liuming. Seeing Fang Hui come over, her eyes flitted over with a venomous look.
Fang Hui shuddered at her gaze but quickly retorted, "Pei Qian, you’re pregnant and still keeping watch here; aren’t you afraid something might happen to the child in your belly?" Her maiden family had not treated her well, so she held no goodwill towards them! They had all made their own arrangements, driving her family away without a single glance. Had she not had some silver coins in hand, her family would have starved to death in the Capital Jingcheng.
Pei Qian glared coldly at her, "If your curse comes true, my mother will come looking for you!"
Lady Yu had just been placed in the coffin; the lid was still set aside, and there she lay inside.
Fang Hui only saw Lady Yu’s feet wearing a pair of thick, embroidered shoes and glanced over at Pei Qin with a sneer, "Who has cursed you? We’re here to pay our respects. Seeing your big belly, I was kindly reminding you!"
