Old Master Lu's body was buried in the Lu Family's ancestral grave five days after the funeral.
The Lu Family's ancestral grave was surrounded by mountains and the sea. It was a beautiful place.
There were two identical graves on both sides of the Old Master Lu's grave. They were the graves of Old Master Lu's two wives who had passed away long ago.
It was drizzling on the day of the burial. The sky was gray and didn't clear up for many days.
Lu Shaoyan didn't go.
In fact, ever since the Old Master Lu passed away, Lu Shaoyan hadn't left his room for five consecutive days. Shen Weiyin had tried to persuade him, but he still closed the door.
The Lu Family's relatives didn't see Lu Shaoyan in the mourning hall. They scolded him for being an unfilial son. In any case, the Old Master had doted on him the most when he was alive. Now that the Old Master was dead, he didn't even attend the funeral. It was simply outrageous!
However, there were also people who expressed their understanding of Lu Shaoyan. The father who had loved him the most didn't want to lose face and refused to attend his father's funeral.
However, all these guesses were just guesses. No one knew the reason.
The sky gradually darkened. Old Master Lu's coffin slowly descended under the gazes of a large group of people.
Ye Zhen stood beside Lu Beichuan. Hearing the mournful cries, she couldn't help but feel sad. The Old Master had been glorious when he was alive, but after his death, all he had left was a coffin and a grave.
Lu Beichuan held her hand and felt the bone-chilling coldness. He frowned. "I'll get someone to bring you a jacket."
Ye Zhen held his hand and drew warmth. "It's okay. I'm not cold. It's just that my hand is a little cold."
Lu Beichuan looked at the coffin that had already been buried. His eyes were dark and full of fatigue that couldn't be wiped away.
The Old Master Lu's funeral was presided over by Lu Beichuan. He had to take care of all the affairs, both big and small. There was also the Lu Clan's work waiting for him at his desk every night. After careful calculation, Lu Beichuan didn't sleep more than ten hours in the past five days.
He whispered to Ye Zhen, "We're almost done here. Go back to the car and rest for a while. I'll be right there."
The Lu Family members gathered in front of the tomb left in twos and threes. Ye Zhen stood beside him and didn't move. "I'll accompany you."
Physical exhaustion wasn't scary. What was scary was the mental exhaustion. Lu Beichuan was like an arrow at the end of its flight after five consecutive days of high-intensity work. His nerves were taut, and she had to keep an eye on him at all times.
Lu Beichuan only tightened his grip on Ye Zhen's hand and didn't say anything else.
The sun gradually set. In the drizzle and breeze, only Lu Beichuan, Ye Zhen, and a few other workers were left.
Lu Beichuan put his arm around Ye Zhen's shoulder and pulled her to his side. "Let's go back."
Ye Zhen glanced at the repaired tomb and followed Lu Beichuan to the car.
On the way back, Ye Zhen suddenly asked Lu Beichuan, "Will I be buried there after I die?"
"You're Lu Beichuan's wife, so you're a member of the Lu Family. Of course you'll be buried in the Lu Family's ancestral grave after you die."
Ye Zhen thought about the two old tombs next to Old Master Lu and connected them to everything that had happened recently. She asked, "I heard from Mom that Old Master Lu had three wives. The two tombs next to Old Master Lu's grave just now were his two wives, right? The other one was Lu Shaoyan's mother. What exactly happened back then?"
She always felt that Old Master Lu's illness was too strange.
In the novel, Old Master Lu didn't die of liver cancer. Instead, he died peacefully ten years later. Lu Shaoyan claimed that his revenge on the Lu Clan was to avenge his mother, but the specific reason wasn't explained in detail.
Ye Zhen couldn't help but wonder what the chief doctor in the hospital said to her. Could Old Master Lu's illness be related to Lu Shaoyan?
But if Old Master Lu's illness really was related to Lu Shaoyan, didn't that mean that Lu Shaoyan was simply insane?
When Lu Shaoyan left the country, Lu Beichuan was still young. Mother Lu could be considered to have experienced all of this. She also mentioned these old matters to Lu Beichuan, but in the days after that, no one dared to mention them in front of Old Master Lu. They all kept their mouths shut and chose to forget about it.
Lu Beichuan told Ye Zhen the whole story. After Ye Zhen heard it, she was silent for a long time. In her mind, she had a preliminary understanding of Lu Shaoyan's actions.
No matter what a person does, there is a reason. Lu Shaoyan grew up with hatred for the Lu Clan because of his childhood experience. Thus, he chose to go against the Lu Clan. This seemed to be a matter of course.
People can harbor hatred in their hearts, and there's no need to repay evil with good. However, there are some things that can't be done no matter how wronged someone is.
This is the bottom line of a person and the edge of the law.
"So, Lu Shaoyan's mother is the woman that Old Master Lu loved all his life?" Ye Zhen sighed. "So what if he missed her all his life? Even when he died, he still couldn't see her. Even the grave …"
