Chapter 441 Death
Li Yan'er also ran with her skirt lifted up, her face full of tears.
But they came back a little late, the funeral was already completed, and Old Master Jiang and Aunt Jiang had already been buried.
When Jiang Aonan saw them coming back, he patted their shoulders and said, "It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back."
"Brother..."
Jiang Ruonan's eyes turned red.
"Go change your clothes, and I'll take you to burn some incense for grandpa and grandma."
A group of people knelt in front of the tomb.
Buried next to Old Master Jiang was his first wife, and my aunt was buried with her husband.
"Brother! Why did grandpa and the others do this?"
Jiang Aonan answered while burning paper: "It was the people from the Duke's Mansion. They threatened Dad with my grandfather."
"Grandfather and his men didn't want to disrupt Dad's plan, so they chose to commit suicide."
"Grandfather!" Jiang Ruonan lay in front of the grave and shouted, crying inconsolably.
Jiang Caifeng has the deepest feelings for him in this family. He is neither literate nor martial, and it was his grandfather who took him to do business, treated him as his heir, and taught him how to do business step by step.
Li Yan'er also cried bitterly, and Jiang Weinan clenched his fists. Since his mother passed away, the only people who had been protecting him were his uncle and this pitiful grandfather whom he rarely saw throughout the year.
But now, before he could fulfill his filial duty to him, he left him.
He punched the ground several times, and Xie Jiaojiao felt very distressed when she saw it.
Xiaoxiao, who was in the arms of the nanny next to her, also started crying.
Xie Jiaojiao wiped her tears, quickly hugged her over, and knelt in front of the grave again.
"Is Xiaoxiao also sad for her great-grandfather?"
Her response was an even louder cry.
Everyone knelt in front of the grave until night, and Jiang Aonan urged them to go back.
Jiang Aonan supported Jiang Ruonan and said, "Let's go back and see mother."
"What's wrong, mother?"
"At that time, they arrested my mother and grandfather and locked them up together. My mother and my second aunt were both quite traumatized."
After returning to the prime minister's residence, Li Yan'er met her parents.
He Wanying was obviously much more haggard. She held her face with both hands, looked at her closely, and said with tears in her eyes: "My Yan'er has lost weight."
Li Yan'er threw herself into her arms: "Mom, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to see you again in this life."
After saying that, the mother and daughter hugged each other.
Jiang Ruonan went to see He Mengwan over there.
As soon as he entered the house, he knelt down and said, "Mother, I am unfilial. I came back just now."
He Mengwan forced himself to stand up and stretched out his hand towards him: "Why are you kneeling? Get up quickly, get up quickly, come here and show your mother."
Jiang Ruonan stepped forward quickly.
He Mengwan's eyes were filled with tears: "My son has lost so much weight in these few months."
Jiang Ruonan shook his head.
A room full of mother-son love.
Standing in this prime minister's mansion without Mr. Jiang, Jiang Weinan suddenly felt very lonely.
Fortunately, Xie Jiaojiao was by his side. She reached out and held his hand. The warmth went straight to his heart.
On the other side, A Tian and A Di were chattering non-stop while holding their mother's hand. Ye Yulan came up and held Xie Jiaojiao's hand to thank her for taking care of her child along the way.
"You're welcome, sister-in-law. A Tian and A Di have been very obedient along the way."
The two children looked at their mother proudly.
Jiang Ruonan came out of He Mengwan's room and asked his elder brother: "Brother, when will mother's illness be cured?"
Jiang Aonan shook his head slightly: "The death of grandpa and his family had a huge impact on mom, and mom felt that she had failed to protect grandpa and his family, so this disease has become a mental illness."
In fact, there is another reason Jiang Aonan didn't tell Jiang Ruonan...
Jiang Ruonan bit her lip, feeling very uncomfortable.
"Okay, you've been traveling all day, go back and rest first. If there's anything else, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
After returning to the room, Xie Jiaojiao asked the nanny to carry Xiaoxiao out. Jiang Weinan then hugged her and started crying bitterly.
Xie Jiaojiao patted his back gently, unable to utter any words of comfort.
When he was no longer in pain, she comforted him softly, "Everything is over, and it will get better slowly."
Jiang Zhongren had been busy with court affairs and did not return home that day. He did not leave the palace until early the next morning.
As soon as he came back, he called Jiang Aonan to the room. Not long after, Qin Fang also came. The three of them chatted for a long time in the room. In the middle, they heard the sound of things being smashed. Lunch was delivered to the room, and they didn't come out until dinner time.
He Mengwan forced himself to get up and prepare a reunion dinner, but although it was a reunion dinner, some people could never be reunited again.
Everyone lowered their heads and there was silence at the table. The previous laughter and joy were no longer seen.
In the end, it was Jiang Zhongren and Li Hean who broke the peace.
Jiang Zhongren spoke, but his tone seemed to have aged a lot: "Everyone, start eating!"
The meal was eaten in complete silence. Even A Tian and A Di, who were usually very noisy, looked at the adults' expressions today, did not say a word, and just ate in silence.
After dinner, Jiang Zhongren called Jiang Weinan to the yard alone.
“Weinan....”
"Uncle." Jiang Weinan called respectfully.
Jiang Zhongren patted him on the shoulder, not at all his usual serious look.
"Your grandfather is gone, but I am still your uncle." When he said this, Jiang Zhongren rarely took off his usual official disguise.
Jiang Weinan's eyes immediately turned red.
"I don't want you and me to become estranged because of the death of your grandfather and your mother. You have to remember that we are a family."
In his heart, he really cared about this nephew. He only had one sister, Jiang Li. He still often thought of how Li Er acted like a spoiled child to him, but the memory was too far away, and he could hardly remember his sister's face. When he first learned about Jiang Li's death, he wanted to chop Jiang Huaian into pieces, but he had embarked on the path of official career, and there were many things he could not help himself...
And because of Li'er's last words, his father couldn't bear to see Weinan become an orphan, so he always tolerated Jiang Huaian...
Jiang Weinan was speechless with tears on his face. He had little contact with his maternal relatives since he was a child. Apart from coming here once a year, he usually stayed in Jiangnan. He remembered that when he was a child, only his grandfather would often put down his business and go to Jiangnan to live for a period of time every year to accompany him...
"Did grandpa pass away peacefully?"
Hearing him ask this, Jiang Zhongren felt so uncomfortable, how could he be at peace? The Nalan family hung their bodies at the city gate for two days, just to force them to show up...
And Meng Wan...
He couldn't speak, but there was a hint of ferocity in his eyes: "Don't worry, I won't let anyone from the Nalan family go!"
