Chapter 1234: Pitifully Delicate
"Grandfather is doing this naturally for his own reasons."
"Then explain to Qinger why this is happening?"
"There are things you shouldn’t know, so don’t ask."
"But... she is our mother. Why shouldn’t we ask? Grandfather, that day you clearly told us to keep our mother’s body to deal with that little cheap person Xuexue. But now, your actions make us deeply disappointed. Mother is your own daughter, yet you burned her corpse, doesn’t this cause her soul to scatter? Grandfather, how cruel-hearted you are!"
Situ Qinger was very angry, her voice even more aggressive.
Prince Pu silently burned Auntie Tang’s corpse. Regarding this matter, Situ Qinger and her three siblings were very upset. Despite everything, Auntie Tang was still their mother.
In this era, the handling of relatives’ bodies is taken very seriously; cremation is absolutely not allowed. They believe burning the body causes the soul to scatter, which is very cruel to the deceased.
Only when there is a severe infectious disease and no other choice will such a decision be made.
The family of Prince Pu nearly lost their lives.
The already impoverished small treasury was further drained by the wandering fortune-teller, losing several ten thousand taels of silver.
Forced by necessity, the daughter’s body had to be burned as well.
Under various setbacks, Prince Pu’s heart was very agitated. After hearing his granddaughter’s questioning, the veins on his neck bulged, his head deafened with a buzz, and he could no longer control his emotions. He slammed the table, roaring loudly: "My actions are not for you juniors to criticize. Truly disrespectful and shameless!"
Prince Pu had never scolded them so loudly since childhood.
