Chapter 803 Death of a relative (2)
Lu Yuan patted Bei Ming's shoulder lightly, regardless of whether he heard it or not, and comforted him in a low voice: "Bei Ming, my condolences!"
Bei Ming seemed to have just seen them. He stiffened, raised his red and bloodshot eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Young master, girl, why are you here?"
Seeing his appearance, the two of them frowned slightly.
You were obviously refreshed yesterday, why are you so tired today!
“Beiming…”
Gu Panxia shouted hesitantly, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only stand there silently.
Ji Yue's eyes flashed slightly, her eyes fixed on Bei Ming's face, her eyebrows drawn together tightly.
Bei Ming lowered his eyes and smiled, but there was endless bitterness in his smile.
For a long time, I just heard him whisper: "I gave her everything I could to give her food and clothing, but I couldn't stay with her. Even if she was seriously ill, I didn't know! Even her final... Not even the last one..."
At the end, Beiming closed his eyes, his hoarse voice slightly choked.
Who this "she" is, everyone knows very well.
Mu Qing asked the four servants who were crying quietly to leave first. For a moment, there was only silence in the mourning hall.
After a while, I heard Bei Ming say hoarsely: "If I knew she was sick, I might come back soon. With the divine water given by the girl, maybe she would be fine!"
He has been back in the capital for so long, but he has been busy and has never come to see his mother. When he saw her again, he was already separated by heaven and earth.
“It’s all my fault, if only I had come back earlier! If only I had come back earlier…”
Bei Ming repeated a sentence without listening. There was some kind of pain suppressed in his voice, but he couldn't vent it. He could only repeat the words in his mouth over and over again.
Jiyue's lips moved, and distress flashed in his eyes. A low voice came from his mouth, "Beiming, this is not your fault!"
Lu Yuan also advised in a low voice: "There are some things that you can't predict. Everyone has his own destiny. Beiming, the deceased has passed away. You should cheer up. I believe Aunt An doesn't want to see you like you are now."
Zhao Bin and Mu Qing also stepped forward, reached out and patted his shoulders. Although they didn't say anything, they seemed to say, you still have us.
Gu Panxia took a step back and looked at the backs of several people quietly, with a hint of relief in his eyes.
They originally thought that no one would come again, but they heard a few footsteps approaching gradually. When they looked back, they saw a servant leading two people in.
Through the dim light from the candlelight in the mourning hall, several people finally saw the faces of the visitors clearly. It was Lin Yan and Wen Shucheng.
The two of them walked into the mourning hall, glanced at Bei Ming first, and then lit incense respectively, and then whispered: "The boss has something to do in the palace, so he can't come. He asked us to say goodbye to brother Bei Ming and express our condolences!"
Bei Ming's eyes flashed with light, he thanked him in a low voice, and then looked at Lu Yuan, his red eyes getting even redder.
He knew clearly that the reason these two people came and even the prince's questions were all because of the young master.
Although he knows them, he has never had a close relationship with them. They came back just because of Lu Yuan, his young master. How honored he is to be his subordinate in this life!
Gu Panxia stepped forward and knelt down, picked up the paper on the side and burned it one by one.
A few people glanced at her but said nothing.
The night has gradually deepened, but the people in the mourning hall have not dispersed yet, and they stood like this until dawn.
The funeral was not very grand. On the second day, a few people from the Ziyun Sect came and the funeral was held hastily.
Originally, Lu Yuan proposed to hold a grand funeral for Aunt An, but Bei Ming rejected it. The reason was that Aunt An liked peace and quiet during her lifetime and did not like too much excitement. Once Lu Yuan heard this, he gave up.
Tomorrow is the day when Lu Yuan and Gu Panxia return home. It is inconvenient for the two of them to stay longer, so they stay until ten o'clock in the evening. After a few words of advice to Bei Ming, they return to Prince Yi's Mansion.
Lin Yan and Wen Shucheng also left because they had something to do. Zhao Bin and Mu Qing also left early in the morning because they were still busy with Ziyun Sect affairs.
Beiming dismissed the four servants after everyone left.
For a time, only Ji Yue and Bei Ming were left in the entire courtyard.
