Chapter 379: Chapter 379: She Must Be Very Upset_1

Wei Ruo remained silent, and Wei Qingwan continued, “Is my older sister feeling uncomfortable now? Is it half as bad as when I was banished from the residence and left alone on the estate?”

Wei Ruo still didn’t speak.

Seeing her like this, a throb of pleasure flickered in Wei Qingwan’s heart.

In the past, Wei Qingwan would have been quickly refuted by her eloquent words, but today she remained silent. This surely confirmed that she was devastated, without the energy to even speak, right?

This indeed was retribution at its finest!

Just as Wei Qingwan was about to say something more, Wei Yilin arrived.

Wei Yilin lower his head, his expression mournful.

Despite his poor relationship with Wei Jinyi, Wei Yilin felt obviously saddened by his death.

After kneeling on the cushion, Wei Yilin silently started burning paper money.

With Wei Yilin present, Wei Qingwan found herself unable to continue talking to Wei Ruo, and so she silently went about burning paper money.

###

At night, the entire Military Prefecture became engrossed in mourning for the funeral.

White lanterns illuminated the entire Military Prefecture while the flickering flames from the white candles in the funeral altar danced. The scent of burning paper money and incense permeated the area.

Wei Ruo, Wei Qingwan, and Wei Yilin continued to burn paper money at the back of the funeral altar, staying up all night.

The servants were busy with other matters upfront, leaving only the three siblings here.

“Older Sister, Second Sister, you should both rest a while. I’ll handle things here,” Wei Yilin suggested with concern.

Hearing him, Wei Ruo instantly rose to her feet, grabbed some water and snacks to fill her stomach.

Wei Qingwan did not move, but she sincerely said to Wei Yilin, “This is the last thing I can do for my second brother. I shouldn’t shirk from the task, and furthermore, I cannot bear to let you handle everything alone, Yilin. Let me accompany you.”

In the past, Wei Yilin would certainly have seen his older sister as heartless and his second sister as kind and caring.

However, now, while he still felt that his second sister was good-hearted and emotional, he also didn’t think that there was anything wrong with his older sister’s actions.

Wei Yilin said to Wei Qingwan, “Second Sister, you should rest with Older Sister. Your injury on your back hasn’t healed for long and you should rest more. Once I feel tired and can’t hold on any longer, you and Older Sister can replace me. We should take turns if we’re staying up the whole night, or else we all would be too exhausted.”

Wei Qingwan shook her head, “It’s okay. Today is not like any other day. I should persist no matter how hard it is. Moreover, if you can endure, Yilin, why should I avoid the hardship?”

Wei Yilin thought for a moment, then stopped his persuasion, “Alright then.”

As Wei Qingwan and Wei Yilin were burning paper money, Wei Ruo moved closer to the coffin to once again delve into the icy corpse inside.

The corpse inside the coffin looked a lot better than when she first saw it. It was now dressed, with a paper mask on the face, and the ghastly parts of the body were all covered up.

Both Wei Yilin and Wei Qingwan noticed Wei Ruo’s actions.

Wei Yilin asked Wei Ruo, “Older Sister, aren’t you scared?”

He was somewhat scared when he saw the corpse for the first time.

Even though he told himself that he was destined to march into battlefields and encounter countless corpses, and that some would be a hundred or a thousand times more horrifying than this.

He also told himself that this was his second brother, not a stranger, and there was no reason to be scared.
