Chapter 773 - 767 Waking Up Once
Jie, the Second Young Master, said, "I have settled matters with you, but I still owe Mr. Du and Madam Du. They entrusted their daughter to me, and I failed to treasure her, even causing her to suffer, which is one issue. The second is, after we got married, I never once paid my respects to our elders, making me unfilial. Even though we have no relation now, a debt owed remains a debt owed, and I hope my offering today is not too late."
Du Xintong sneered coldly but did not speak.
Late? Why isn’t it considered too late? If regret and apologies were effective, the world would truly be turned upside down.
The burns on Du Wanqing’s body, once frozen by the harsh cold, became painfully itchy and unbearable, and she was unwilling to step out of the carriage. After Du Xintong finished burning the paper offerings, she personally led people to pull Wanqing out.
"Du Xintong, what are you trying to do? I don’t want to go out, my face feels awful, I don’t want to go out."
"On the first day of the New Year, as a daughter you must offer ceremonial worship to your dad and mom. It’s not up to you whether you go out or not, move."
A few robust maidservants dragged Du Wanqing out of the carriage, all the way to the graves of Mr. Du and Madam Du.
Jie, the Second Young Master, stiff in the knees from the cold, supported himself to stand up and looked in astonishment at Du Wanqing, who was rolling on the ground in a tantrum, unwilling to approach and worship at the graves of Mr. Du and Madam Du.
He only then realized how muddled he had been these years; Du Wanqing had never once come to worship Mr. Du and Madam Du, and from this alone, it was clear she was a person of cold nature.
Her own mother had passed away when she was only a few years old, yet she remembered her for a lifetime, whereas she had completely forgotten about Mr. Du and Madam Du, who had raised her.
