Chapter 330 Shi Xiangyun left
When Zijuan was sleeping soundly, she vaguely felt that she had a special dream.
In that strange and hazy world, she saw Xiangyun wearing a bright orange-red gauze dress, dancing like a light butterfly.
Zijuan called her loudly, but no matter how she called Xiangyun, she just kept dancing by herself and ignored Zijuan.
A few days ago, a boy who was less than a hundred days old drank poisonous milk and died with his wet nurse.
This bad news was like a sharp sword, deeply striking Xiangyun, and also knocking down Zijuan and Xueyan.
The two were afraid that Xiangyun would do something stupid, so they watched over her day and night.
Zijuan just felt tired and sore all over, and went to bed early yesterday.
But at this moment, someone pushed her gently, and Zijuan opened her eyes from her chaotic dream in an instant.
Standing before her was Xueyan, her face covered in tears. Zijuan was startled and subconsciously sat up suddenly, asking anxiously:
"Xueyan, why are you crying like this? What happened?"
Xueyan took out a letter slowly from her sleeve with trembling hands and handed it to Zijuan.
She choked up and said, "Sister Zijuan, Miss Yun...she's gone!"
Zijuan's fingers trembled slightly as she gently unfolded the letter and began to read word by word:
"Zijuan, Xueyan: Are you all well?
I'm leaving, there's nothing left in this place worth staying for!
The child is gone and my heart is broken.
The year I met you is the happiest year of my life!
The fallen flowers and flowing water are gone, and the spring scenery has become a dream!
I can't hold you back anymore!
If you had followed Sister Lin, you would have lived a life of wealth and glory in the palace. It is me who has been a burden to you.
Don't worry, I won't get upset!
I will live bravely, just to see the world for my children!
Don't look for me. If we are destined to meet, we will naturally meet no matter where we are. "
Shi Xiangyun is gone!
Zijuan stared at the letter blankly. No matter how careful she was, she still couldn't prevent Xiangyun from leaving!
Zijuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if she had realized something important. She said to Xueyan anxiously:
"Hurry, hurry, Xueyan, change your clothes quickly, we have to go to Yu Mansion immediately.
Maybe Master Yu can help us find Miss Yun."
After that, the two began to change their clothes in a hurry, and then hurriedly got on the carriage.
Not long after, the carriage stopped outside the tall and majestic gate of the Yu Mansion.
However, the scene before them made Zijuan and Xueyan so shocked that they could not close their mouths.
The originally tightly closed vermilion gate of the Yu Mansion was now wide open, and the gate was covered with white flowers, like a cold funeral.
Not only that, the imposing plaque was covered with a thick layer of black gauze at some point.
Seeing this scene, Zijuan and Xueyan's hearts sank suddenly.
After looking at each other, a terrible thought arose in their minds at the same time - could it be that a funeral is being held in the mansion?
Thinking of this, the two of them no longer cared about anything else and hurriedly quickened their pace and rushed into the mansion.
As soon as I entered the mansion, I saw several coffin shop workers carrying a slightly cheap coffin.
Seeing this, Zijuan and Xueyan looked at each other in surprise, speechless for a moment.
After a long while, the two of them came to their senses and went forward to ask someone.
However, looking around, except for the guys in the coffin shop, the Yu Mansion, which was once very bustling, is now empty, with almost no one in sight.
Just when the two were feeling confused and helpless, they suddenly heard a loud shouting coming from not far away.
Following the sound, I saw the butler standing there in black clothes with a solemn expression, waving his arms and directing the guys in the coffin shop to move one coffin to another.
Zijuan and Xueyan immediately hurried forward and asked in unison:
"Butler, what happened? Is there a funeral in the mansion?"
When the butler heard the voice, he was startled at first, then slowly raised his head.
When he saw clearly that the person coming was actually his aunt's maid.
There was a sudden movement in his heart, and his originally dull eyes instantly lit up, as if he had suddenly discovered a ray of light in the darkness, and he became extremely excited.
He held onto Zijuan and Xueyan's arms tightly with both hands and shouted in a trembling voice:
"Oh my, I'm really getting old and confused!
How could I forget such an important thing!
Fortunately, you two little girls showed up in time, otherwise I really don’t know what to do!
Hurry up and invite Aunt Yun over, she will be in charge of everything here!"
Zijuan was puzzled when she heard this. She asked in confusion, "Butler, why are you pointing at my aunt? What are these two coffins?"
At this moment, the butler could no longer suppress his inner grief, and tears slowly appeared on the face of such a grown man, which seemed particularly abrupt.
He pointed a finger in the direction of the backyard, sighed deeply, and said in a crying voice:
“Yesterday, for some unknown reason, Madam actually set a huge fire and trapped herself in the sea of flames.
The master was extremely anxious when he saw this, and rushed into the fire desperately to rescue his wife, but...
Alas! In the end, both of them died!
I was so scared that I was running around in panic.
It was only at this moment that I came to my senses and remembered that there was still my aunt who could help with the funeral arrangements for the master and the mistress!
When Zijuan and Xueyan heard this, they suddenly woke up from their dream. Master and Madam Yu had already gone to heaven!
However, what made them feel even more regretful was that Xiangyun had already left and was now unable to come to help.
In desperation, the two had to tell the housekeeper the truth.
When the housekeeper heard the news that Xiangyun's child had died, he stood there as if struck by lightning, muttering to himself:
"How could this happen? What should I do..."
In addition, now that the master and the mistress have passed away one after another, he shook his head and sighed:
"What misfortune for our family! What misfortune for our family!"
At this time, the Yu family had long lost its former liveliness and prosperity, and a sad atmosphere permeated everywhere.
Zijuan and Xueyan stood in the courtyard, looking at everything that was familiar yet unfamiliar in front of them, their hearts filled with endless sadness.
The two of them had no choice but to bow to the coffin and leave.
After the two of them returned to the courtyard, Xueyan held Zijuan's hand tightly and said in a choked voice:
"Sister Zijuan, let's leave.
Let's leave a letter for Miss Yun to tell her where we are going."
Zijuan nodded gently, tears also glistening in her eyes.
She slowly walked to the table, picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and began to write with a trembling hand. After she finished, she carefully folded the letter and placed it in a prominent place on the table.
After doing all this, Zijuan and Xueyan silently packed their luggage.
They looked around and took a last look at this courtyard that was once full of laughter and joy. This was where Xiangyun got married and where their brother was born!
It’s only been a short year now, but everything has changed!
Zijuan and Xueyan wiped their tears, took their packed bags, and walked towards the capital.
They understood that Xiangyun would meet them again one day!
This time, no one will stop them from meeting Daiyu!
