Chapter 1205 - 1199: Funeral Procession
She did not hang herself like most people do, suspended from the beam in the middle of the room. With her broken legs, she couldn’t climb onto a stool. Instead, she used a strip of white cloth to strangle herself by looping it around her neck and fastening it to a bedpost, suffocating to death.
What determination it must take to strangle oneself to death.
Miss Du stared blankly at the cold corpse, unable to utter a word for a long time.
She said she wanted to find him; this was the method she chose in the end.
If something isn’t yours, it never will be. Even if you resort to such measures to find him, it’s still not meant to be—why couldn’t she understand?
After a long while, Miss Du started blankly and said faintly, "Arrange a funeral procession, bury her generously!"
...
In the end, Wanqing was indeed the daughter of the Du Family. Cast out from the Jie Family, Miss Du had taken her back in, so upon her death, it was fitting that she be laid to rest in the ancestral grave of the Du Family.
Miss Du ordered a tomb to be built beside Wanqing’s biological mother and erected a gravestone for her according to the standards of the Du Family daughters.
The ritual prayers lasted three days, and many prominent friends, out of respect for Miss Du, attended the funeral. All in all, it was a dignified affair.
