Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1268 - 1270: If You Want to Cry, Just Cry

This kind of funeral made the Chu Mansion suddenly become lifeless.

After Wang Xiangxiang returned to the room, she couldn’t think of tea or food, because she was worried about Chu Lian.

For three days in a row, she hadn’t seen Chu Lian come back, which made her even less able to eat.

The Little Maid who served her was a bit anxious, "Young mistress, please eat something."

"I can’t eat." Wang Xiangxiang waved her hand.

"Young mistress, please eat something, for the sake of the child in your belly. If you don’t take good care of yourself and the child, the young master will feel distressed." The Little Maid still tried to persuade her.

Hearing this, Wang Xiangxiang’s heart skipped a beat. Chu Lian was already very troubled, she couldn’t add to his worries, so she forced herself to eat the meal the Little Maid brought.

Seeing the young mistress eating, the Little Maid was overjoyed and kept watching from the side.

After the meal, Wang Xiangxiang asked, "Are the young master and others still in the front hall?"

"Yes, young mistress."

It had already been three days. The whole family was standing by that shrine. Although there was no coffin, Wang Xiangxiang knew they were keeping a vigil for Chu Lingling in their own way.

"Have they eaten?"

The Little Maid shook her head, "No!"

It was the same result. Actually, Wang Xiangxiang had asked these two questions countless times. For a full three days, the family neither ate nor drank, could their bodies withstand it? "Order the kitchen to prepare meals at any time for when they come out. Make the meals light."

At times like these, eating too richly was disrespectful to the deceased. Now, the whole Chu Mansion had simple meals, even herself.

At this moment, Wang Xiangxiang could only do these small things, nothing else.

She was just there worryingly, waiting in the room.

...

Front Hall

The three-day vigil ended. The family finally stood up on their weak bodies, and Old Master Chu spoke, "Chu Lian, go back and check on your wife. You haven’t said anything, she must be worried sick."

"Okay." Chu Lian nodded and left.

He was really worried that Xiangxiang would overthink. Three days of not eating or drinking made him feel lightheaded; he finally made his way back to his courtyard.

At this time, Wang Xiangxiang was waiting inside. The moment she heard the door opening, she stood up, and seeing the somewhat weak Chu Lian, she hurried over and asked worriedly, "Husband, are you alright?"

Hearing Xiangxiang’s voice, Chu Lian couldn’t control his emotions anymore. He immediately hugged Xiangxiang and buried his head in her shoulder, looking like a child.

Wang Xiangxiang didn’t move, letting Chu Lian hold her. She only felt Chu Lian’s shoulder shaking, and she knew he was crying.

Wang Xiangxiang’s hand involuntarily patted Chu Lian’s back, like that, gently, "Husband, if you want to cry, just cry."

"Waaah, my wife." This sentence truly unleashed Chu Lian’s grief. He cried loudly, releasing all his emotions in front of Wang Xiangxiang.

Seeing Chu Lian so sorrowful, Wang Xiangxiang’s heart also ached deeply; she wished she could bear his sorrow for him. She just cried with him, the two of them held each other for a long time until the crying stopped.

Seeing that Chu Lian had stopped crying, Wang Xiangxiang quickly called the Little Maid to prepare some food.
