The old lady is reborn

The guards only let go of her arm after the Second Prince escorted her sister away. Her arm had been twisted and pressed down, and now it hurt as if it was broken.

She was casually forced to her knees on the gravel ground, and because she struggled to see her mother, her knees were bruised and blood oozed from her trouser legs.

She was worried that her mother had not yet taken her last breath, but seeing her in such a miserable state, she would not be able to close her eyes even if she died, and would not be able to leave peacefully.

But the more she struggled, the tighter the guards pressed on her. Now her knees seemed broken. She tried to stand up, but the pain in her legs made her kneel down on the ground again.

When she finally recovered, she held her mother's body in her arms for a long time, until her mother lost her temperature bit by bit.

She was much taller than her mother, and now she was carrying her mother's body on her back.

But my mother is gone after all, and a corpse would not know how to hug her neck or shoulders tightly.

So she could only bend over as much as possible so that her mother's body could lie steadily on her back without swaying from side to side or falling backwards.

This made her walk extremely difficult and slow.

No servant dared to come up to help her, perhaps her father was still waiting for her to beg him.

For her mother's funeral and burial, she was waiting for her to bow her head again.

But she didn't want to see any of them again, they made her sick.

She walked to the gate of the mansion and found that not only was the gate closed, but also the corner gates, side gates and all the side gates were closed.

Yes, how could they possibly let the mother and daughter "walk" out of the house like this?

Then the face and reputation of Duke Dingguo’s Mansion would be ruined.

She sat on the ground holding her mother, just inside the gate, separated from the outside world by a wall and a door.

She sat on the ground for a whole day and night. At the evening of the next day, she felt a little groggy after being cold all night and having not eaten or drunk anything.

But she still hugged her mother tightly.

Her father waited for her to bow her head, just like every time before, whether in life or death, he waited for both mother and daughter to bow their heads.

But she would rather die here holding her mother.

At that moment, she suddenly felt that all the pain and discomfort in her body disappeared, and she seemed to have reached a warm and comfortable state, and she felt very sleepy.

She wanted to sleep but didn't dare to, for she was afraid that after she fell asleep, her mother's body would be taken away by those disgusting people.

Then when she wakes up, she will go to them again to ask for her mother's body or to know where her mother is buried.

If no one opens the door for one, two, or three days, she would be willing to die here. Anyway, there is nothing left in this world for her to miss.

She didn't want to be separated from the only person in the world who loved and cherished her.

No, there is also my grandmother, who loves her very much. But my grandmother is my little nephew's only support, so I should not bring trouble to them.

She pulled out a whistle from her bosom. She had loved it and had learned it very hard, so she wanted to play it again.

A melodious, plaintive sound from the whistle was heard, but after a while, the sound became sad and desperate.

The next moment she thought of her mother's smiling face, her gentle words, and her hands stroking her hair, and the sound of the whistle unconsciously became like the warm spring breeze.

The abbess of Yunlan Temple passed by and felt that the sound was not right, so she knocked on the door of Duke Dingguo's mansion.

When the people inside heard the noise, the servant guarding the gate didn't know how to respond, so he ran off to report the news.

She hurried to the door and leaned close to the crack. She didn't know who was outside, but she shouted as loudly as she could: "I am the daughter of Duke Dingguo's mansion. My mother was murdered. Please, go and report to the authorities."

The abbess of Yunlan Temple asked the nuns and the young nun beside her to go and report to the police.

She stayed behind by herself and asked, "Can you open the door?"

The door was very heavy, with rough wooden and iron bolts in the middle, so she couldn't open it by herself.

Later in the dream, I was dragged away by my father and the guards.

When the gate was finally opened, people from the police station and Yunlan Temple were standing outside.

They wanted to meet the eldest daughter of Duke Dingguo, but their father lied and said that he was well and truly in the Second Prince's residence.

Someone had already reported to the Second Prince before the government officials arrived. The Second Prince naturally helped to cover up the matter, saying that his wife was indeed fine in the mansion. He lied without changing his expression or heartbeat.

The police had to leave.

The abbess of Yunlan Temple insisted that they should meet the wife of Duke Dingguo, and that their father actually let a concubine wear their mother's clothes to entertain guests.

But the people from the police station and the abbot of Yunlan Temple had never seen my mother before. Even if they had seen her, they might have only caught a glimpse from a distance. Now there was no way to tell the truth.

The Duke Dingguo's Mansion did not announce the funeral until three months after his mother's death, and they found an excuse that it was a serious illness, with a doctor as testimony.

The body could not be preserved for that long, so there was no funeral ceremony. It was just said to be a serious illness and was cremated as soon as possible.

She herself was quietly sent back to the Second Prince's residence, and when her sister-in-law came to brag, she said that it was her father and her husband, the Second Prince, who came up with the idea to break her legs and leave her paralyzed in bed.

And when their grandmother came to visit them, they tortured them even more severely.
