Chapter 260 -102: Old Madam Passes Away

The moonlight wasn’t beautiful, but gentle, intoxicating to behold. Unfortunately, Yueyao was in no mood to admire the moonlight at that time.

Yueyao worried every time she thought of how her grandmother had passed away in August in her previous life, and she brought up again her desire to move to the Upper Chamber to accompany the Old Madam. But as soon as Yueyao spoke, the Old Madam refused her. Yueyao knew that the incident last time had caused her grandmother to hold a grudge against her.

Yueyao pinched the only water lily in the basin: “If not favored, you mustn’t favor, and I won’t let the Lian family sell me off again just for the sake of consideration.” This was her bottom line; she resolutely wouldn’t agree if pushed beyond it.

Hua Lei didn’t understand what Yueyao was saying, but she whispered a reminder by her side, “Miss, you’ve pinched the water lily. If you do, there may be no more flowers to see in the future.” Ever since the water lily had bloomed, the young lady had grown particularly fond of it, and now she had pinched it unconsciously, and soon she would regret it.

Yueyao was startled, looking at the water lily in the water, her expression strange.

Hearing Yueyao’s order to keep the flower in water, Hua Lei shook her head and said, “Miss, the flower has lost its vitality; even if kept in water, it will wilt by tomorrow.”

After hearing Hua Lei’s words and looking at the water lily in her hand, Yueyao thought about how she was as pristine as this flower in her early years, but her granduncle together with Lady Mo had cruelly broken and snuffed out all her vitality, until she withered.

Touching the water lily in her hand, Yueyao said, “If that’s the case, then let it be.” Having said that, she threw the water lily back into the basin.

Hua Lei felt that her mistress was becoming stranger over time.

When the Old Madam lost consciousness again, Doctor Tang directly said, “Prepare for the end, the Old Madam has only a few days.” Even Hua Tuo, if he were alive, would scarcely be able to save her.

The Old Madam came to half a day later. Doctor Tang told Lian Dongfang, “This is a momentary rebound. Fulfill any last wishes she has!”

Upon hearing this, Lian Dongfang’s tears flowed profusely.

The Old Madam had no strength left, and Qiao Ru brought a bowl of ginseng soup to feed her a few sips. The Old Madam couldn’t drink it and said, “Take it away, drinking more is useless.” She was about to depart yet had to suffer again.

Tingli and Tingyi were also in tears, kneeling before the Old Madam’s bed and crying, “Grandmother, Grandmother…” They sobbed uncontrollably. Tingyi, who had been brought up by the Old Madam since childhood, had a particularly deep bond with her, and seeing the person she loved most about to leave, cried nearly to the point of fainting.

The Old Madam looked at Tingli and said, “The future of the Lian family relies on you now.”

Tingli nodded repeatedly, his voice choked, “Grandmother, be reassured, I will not fail the expectations of Grandfather and Grandmother.” His grandfather had said the same to him when he passed away; the pressure on Tingli was immense.

The Old Madam looked at Tingyi with regret in her eyes and struggled to say, “Grandmother had hoped to see you marry and have children, and later to hold your children’s children, but alas, Grandmother won’t see it. Yiyi, you must obey your father and brother and strive to progress without frivolity, do you understand?”

Tingyi nodded repeatedly, saying, “Grandmother, be reassured, I will listen to my father and brother. Grandmother, you must hold on, you simply must.”

After speaking with her two grandsons, the Old Madam felt she had no strength left. Lian Dongfang, tears covering his face, seeing his mother looking earnestly at him, hurried to her side and said urgently, “Mother, whatever you wish to say, your son is listening!” It was clear she still had something to say.

The Old Madam looked at Lian Dongfang and said, “I’ve told you what needed to be said before. Now, the Lian family relies on you to hold it together; you absolutely must not falter.”

Lian Dongfang nodded repeatedly, “Mother, be assured, I will uphold the threshold of the Lian family.”

A faint smile appeared on the Old Madam’s face, then she slowly closed her eyes.

Lian Dongfang cried out, “Mother…” After the cry, he fainted. Fortunately, Doctor Tang was still there and quickly used acupuncture on him.

After a while, Lian Dongfang came to.

Doctor Tang, looking at the devastated Lian Dongfang, remarked, “He really is a rare filial son.” Such filial piety was truly uncommon.

Yueyao also cried like a teary figure, with everyone in the room crying, a lament filling the air.

In the end, it was Doctor Tang who reminded them, seeing everyone crying wasn’t helping, he reminded Lady Mo, “Madam, the Old Madam has passed. What’s urgent now is to attend to the Old Madam’s posthumous affairs.”

Lady Mo immediately restrained her tears and took the burial clothes which had been prepared in advance and dressed the Old Madam. Now in the sweltering heat of summer, a lot of ice was necessary; otherwise, the body could easily start to decay.
