Chapter 563 (1/2)

When Chu Zhi returned to Hou's house, Han zhangang came back from the palace.

He saw that Chu Zhi looked wrong. Before he asked, Chu Zhi held Han Zhan's waist.

”Don't move, don't ask, just ask me to hold it for a while.”

Han Zhan sat on the couch and hugged Chu Zhi in his arms, feeling extremely distressed.

He knew that it must be what happened to Chu Zhi when he went to Chu's house, otherwise it would not be like this, and only Wu family could affect Chu Zhi's mood.

The Wu family is a knot that the Chu branch can't get through.

That night, Chu Zhi held Han Zhan and silently shed tears all night. In the end, he didn't even have tears. He just supported his sour eyes and stared at the green curtain on his head.

The dawn of early winter was very late. It rained drizzle outside. It was cold and biting. It seemed to freeze people on their hands.

Mammy Qian hurried to the eaves and whispered to Xia'er, ”it's snowing at this time in previous years. It's still raining this year. The rain is freezing, but it's colder than snow.”

Chu Zhi slowly opened his eyes.

”Wake up?” Chu Zhi moved. Han Zhan opened his eyes and asked immediately.

In fact, they both know that neither of them fell asleep last night.

”It's dawn.” Han Zhan glanced at the gray sky outside the window. ”It's coming.”

Chu Zhi was about to get up and was pressed back by Han Zhan.

”You don't have to get up today. I've helped you with everything in your family. Just have a good rest.”

”No need.” Chu Zhi smiled, ”I'll go back to Chu house later.”

Han Zhan didn't know why: ”what are you doing back to Chu mansion? Didn't you just go there yesterday?”

Chu Zhi smiled without explanation.

She called Xia'er in and changed herself into a plain white dress embroidered with dark patterns of pear flowers. Han Zhan frowned.

Mother Qian came in and saw Chu Zhi's dress. She was surprised and scolded Xia'er: ”why do you wear such plain clothes for the master? It's like...” running for funeral.

This is one of many clothes that your majesty ordered xiuniang to make after his death.

Xia'er looked at mother Qian and Chu Zhi. Seeing that Chu Zhi didn't speak, she silently helped her.

When the bun is ready, Xia'er wants to wear silver for Chu Zhi. Chu Zhi refuses. She opens a box in front of her, in which lies the white pearls she brought just two days ago.

She took out two and put them in her hair bun. Then she applied powder by hand and painted it on her face.

Seeing this, Han Zhan's eyes were miniature, and he seemed to guess something. A dark light crossed the bottom of his eyes.

He didn't say anything, but ordered the servant girl on the side to take a moon white robe again and replace his crimson purple robe.

When Chu Zhi was ready, the servants of Hou's house hurriedly reported.

”Master, the Chu family came to report the funeral and said that the Wu family in the second room... Has gone!”

Hearing the speech, Xia'er and mammy Qian changed their faces and took a breath.
