Chapter 179 Yunying Loses Her Mother
When the group arrived at the fourth room, a white door was already hung at the gate.
As I walked further in, I saw that all the servants were dressed in white.
As soon as they reached the second gate, Steward Lin came in quickly. After Xiaohuan's incident, Rong Enqing asked Steward Li to help pick a new steward for the fourth room.
"Madam, Master, and Young Miss." Butler Lin knelt on one knee and bowed to greet them.
"Get up." Rong Enqing responded as he walked inside. "How are the funeral preparations going?"
"In reply to the Madam, the mourning hall has been set up. The mourning clothes, candles, paper money, and all other matters have also been prepared." Steward Lin paused and said, "For the time being, the Madam and the Rong family have only been informed of the death. Other places have not been informed yet."
Rong Enqing nodded, "Where is the fourth wife now? Can the body be buried?"
"In reply to the Madam, the Fourth Madam is still in Qingxue Residence. She has asked the maid to clean the Madam's face, change her clothes, and prepare everything. However, the Madam and the Fourth Master have not arrived yet, so I dare not bury the body without permission."
"You did a great job." Rong Enqing nodded with satisfaction. "Go and get busy. Let's go to Qingxueju to take a look. If we encounter anyone from the Rong family, send someone to inform them in advance."
"Yes." Butler Lin quickly agreed.
After Rong Enqing finished instructing Steward Lin, she came to her senses and found Yunying looking up at her with a pale face. Yunhai beside her also had a pale face and red eyes, looking like he was trying his best to suppress his emotions.
Rong Enqing bent down and picked up Yunying, leaned close to her left ear, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, grandma will take you to see your mother."
"Yeah." Yunying leaned her head against Rong Enqing's neck and asked softly, "Grandma, why are everyone wearing white clothes? Why are there white lanterns hanging at the door? Why are there white things hanging everywhere in the mansion? It doesn't look good at all! Grandma, can you ask someone to take those things down?"
Rong Enqing held the person in his arms and walked towards Qingxueju, saying softly, "It will be demolished. We will demolish it in a few days."
Yun Hai, who was half a step behind, bit his lips tightly and followed Rong Enqing silently.
After walking for a short distance, Rong Enqing handed Yunying to Yunhai to hold, and he was supported by Xiu Zhang and walked quickly in front.
At Qingxueju, two maids were guarding the gate. No one was in the yard. But there was a faint sound of noisy crying coming from the house.
The house where Xiao Rong lived was very large, and was divided into two rooms, inner and outer, by a screen.
There were five or six little maids kneeling on the ground in the outer room, and four big maids kneeling in front of the bed in the inner room. There were more than ten people guarding Xiao Rong's body together, crying.
Seeing Rong Enqing and others coming, everyone was startled and hurriedly knelt to the side to make way, but the crying continued.
"Get out!" Rong Enqing was angry and couldn't help but shouting loudly.
The maids quickly stood up and retreated in fear.
Several maids in the inner room heard the noise and hurried out to greet them.
“Madam! Master! Young Miss!” One of the clever maids fell to her knees and cried loudly, “My madam is gone! Wuuwuwu, madam…”
"Shut up!"
The maid's howling had just begun when Rong Enqing angrily stopped her, "Everyone get out!"
The self-righteous maid who was about to show her loyalty in front of Rong Enqing was startled by the shout. She quickly got up tremblingly and followed the others out the door.
"Wow..."
At this moment, Yunying, who had already realized something, suddenly burst into tears in panic.
"Daddy, I want my mother! I want my mother! Mother, mother! ..."
Yunying cried and struggled to slide out of Yunhai's arms to the ground, then ran into the inner room.
Yunhai and Rong Enqing hurried to catch up.
On the large carved bed in the inner room, Xiao Rong was neatly dressed, standing straight, with delicate makeup on her face. Ignoring her unusually pale complexion, she looked like a living person.
When Yunhai and Rong Enqing entered the room, Yunying was already lying on the edge of the bed, holding little Rong's hand and shaking it continuously.
"Mother, Yunying is back to see you, please wake up! It's already daybreak, why are you still sleeping? Grandma and Daddy are here too! If you don't get up, Grandma and Daddy will laugh at you!"
Yunying kept mumbling to herself, tears streaming down her face. I don't know if she really realized something, or if she just kept crying because Xiao Rong ignored her.
Seeing Rong Enqing and Yunhai coming in, Yunying turned around and looked at them aggrievedly: "Grandma, why is mother sleeping all the time? I kept calling her, but she didn't wake up!
"Daddy, can you help me wake up mom, please? Mom has been ignoring me. Please help me wake her up!"
When Yunhai stepped into the inner room and saw Xiao Rong lying motionless on the bed, he could no longer suppress his emotions and tears burst out like rain.
Hearing Yunying's words at this moment, he slowly walked to the bedside, knelt on the ground, hugged Yunying with one hand, and stroked Xiaorong's pale face with the other hand, crying bitterly: "I'm sorry! I didn't want this! This is not the result I want to see!
"Why are you so stupid? I am a useless piece of trash. You can live a better life without me! Why do you want to die? Why do you want to do something stupid?"
Yunying stared at Yunhai blankly for a long while before she suddenly broke free from Yunhai's arms, climbed onto the bed on tiptoe, and laid on Xiaorong's chest. She hugged her neck and cried in fear, "Mother, mother, what's wrong with you? Wake up! Open your eyes and look at Yunying! And daddy, daddy is back too. Open your eyes and look at daddy!"
"Mom, please wake up! As long as you wake up, Daddy and I won't go anywhere else and will stay with you! Okay?"
This time, Yunying did not call Xiao Rong mother, but called her mother affectionately. Unfortunately, Xiao Rong could no longer hear it.
In the past, Rong Enqing was deeply puzzled as to why Yunying called Yunhai daddy but called Xiao Rong mother.
At first she thought that it was because Yunying liked Yunhai more and had a closer relationship with Yunhai, and her relationship with Xiaorong was average, so there was a difference.
It was not until she accidentally heard Yunhai mention it later that she realized that Yunying also called Xiaorong "mother" before she was two years old. However, after she was two years old, Xiaorong asked Yunying to learn the rules and address her in a dignified and elegant manner, so she asked Yunying to change her way of speaking.
As time went by, Yunying got used to calling Xiaorong "mother". It was only because of Yunhai's indulgence that Yunying never changed the way she addressed him.
However, as time went by, Xiao Rong herself probably forgot why Yunying called her Yunhai differently, and thought Yunying was partial and unwilling to get close to her.
Looking at the father and daughter crying, Rong Enqing couldn't help but shed tears silently.
An unknown amount of time had passed when Xiu Zhang quickly came in from outside, leaned over to Rong Enqing's ear and whispered, "Madam, the Rong family has arrived."
