“Sister Su!” Feng Tianjiao’s little face instantly turned red from embarra.s.sment and anger as she glanced at Su Qian coquettishly.
Su Qian couldn’t help but laugh. In the end, everyone looked at each other and smiled.
After chatting with Feng Tianjiao and the others for a while longer, Su Qian finally brought the children back.
The next day was the day of Ancestor Su’s funeral.
As far as the eye could see, the Su family’s courtyard was covered in white. All the relatives of the Su family were wearing mourning clothes, their faces marked with tears as they welcomed the guests.
This time, the funeral for Ancestor Su was grandly organized. The entrance of the Su family was adorned with layers of wreaths, and the guests arrived in a constant stream. People from various sects received the invitations and couldn’t afford not to come. The carriages of various forces almost blocked the main street. The scene was especially grand.
Among the Su family members standing at the gate, a delicate and snow-white figure looked particularly pitiful.
Dressed in snow white, Su Yunxian did not have any accessories on her body. Only a solemn small white flower was worn on her head. Her long hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin. Her pale face had no trace of color. Her crystal-like big eyes were always filled with tears. When she talked to others, pearl-like tears rolled down. It made people’s hearts ache when they saw her. They wished they could hold her in their hands.
Su Chenghua’s old friend came to offer his condolences. After greeting Su Chenghua, his eyes stopped on Su Yunxian and said with concern, “Eldest Miss, you must take care of yourself. You look thinner than before.”
Su Yunxian used a handkerchief to wipe away the tears in the corner of her eyes. She bowed weakly and said, “Thank you for your concern, Uncle. I’m fine. It’s just that before Ancestor pa.s.sed away, he said that even if Seventh Sister was disrespectful, he hoped to see our family send him off together. Now that Seventh Sister is unwilling to show up, I’m really sad. I’m sad that I can’t even fulfill the last wish of the ancestor…”
“Silly child, how can this be your fault?” Su Chenghua hurried forward to support Su Yunxian, who was crying so hard that her eyes were red. His eyes also turned red. “It’s our family’s fault for being too soft-hearted to do such a vicious thing. Otherwise, our Ancestor wouldn’t have instigated to the point of spitting blood and pa.s.sing away.”
The father and daughter held each other as they cried, their words piercing to the heart. The atmosphere of grief infected everyone present, and they could not bear to hear it.
Immediately, someone started discussing, “Master Su and the Eldest Miss are too pitiful. Su Qian is still a member of the Su family, and Su Kian is her relative. She wouldn’t not come, right?”
“She shouldn’t not come, right? After all, they were family members. Even if their bones were broken, their tendons were still connected. Did Su Qian have to be so heartless?”
“Why not? Haven’t you heard? It was Su Qian who said harsh words that angered Ancestor Su to the point of having a heart attack on the auction stage. If she wasn’t heartless, who was?” A woman in the crowd said disdainfully.
“That’s right. If Su Qian came, she would have come two days ago. It’s strange that there’s been no movement from her until now.”
“Do you think Su Qian didn’t dare to come because she angered the Ancestor Su to death?” Someone in the crowd said, not afraid to cause a stir.
As soon as this statement was made, the crowd immediately became more heated in their discussions.
“Everyone, don’t say that. Su Qian is my sister after all. I once taught her to be grateful. I believe that she won’t let me down and will definitely come.” Su Yunxian hurriedly stood up. It seemed like she was speaking up for Su Qian, but in reality, her gaze swept across the carriage that was parked at the Su family’s entrance..
