"Is she dead?"
"Well, what do you think will happen to those who offend Madam? It's already good enough that she's still in one piece."
"Tsk, where are you going to bury her?"
"Just the same place as others..."
Two servants walked out with bitter look. It was clear that they were given tasks that they have to finish soon.
Hiding behind the bush, the young Shan Yu waited until these two people couldn't be seen before coming out. He pursed his lips and looked into the main hall beside him, hesitating whether he should enter or not.
He was worried.
Worried that the person these two people talked about would be his mother.
After some hesitation, the young Shan Yu slowly made his way inside. He pushed the door open and his small figure peeked in.
There was only one person inside the large hall.
A woman was lying in the middle.
Even though it was not possible to see her face from this angle, the young Shan Yu knew that this is his mother. Because the clothes were the same as the clothes that his mother wore when she went out this morning.
'Mother?'
Stumbling inside, the young Shan Yu walked closer and closer.
He saw his mother's pale face and the blood that hadn't dried up yet pooled under her. Her skinny body seemed even weaker in this situation and her figure laid sideways, her hands were put together.
It seemed that she had suffered a lot before this.
Seeing this scene, the young Shan Yu was silent.
He stood beside his mother, not knowing what to think about this and simply stood there. His mother...
The person whom he cared the most in his life, was now lying there, breathless.
The young Shan Yu felt his mind blank and he then spoke with difficulties, "Mother, are you sleeping here?"
No answer.
Even though this was the first time the young Shan Yu saw dead people, he had the faint feeling that he knew that his mother would never answer any of his questions again in his entire life.
This thought made the young Shan Yu frown.
He didn't want this.
He wanted his mother.
But seeing his mother lying quietly in front of him, the young Shan Yu didn't know what to do. He wanted to bring her away from here, away from this bad place that caused so much pain and harm to his mother.
At the same time, the young Shan Yu knew that he couldn't do anything.
He didn't know how long he stood there before he heard rustling voice from outside. The two servants who were tasked to bring his mother's body away had returned. Even though the young Shan Yu was unwilling, he turned around and hid behind the table there.
The young Shan Yu couldn't do anything but watch as the two servants carried his mother's body away.
He stayed hidden.
No words were said.
When the two people had finally left, the young Shan Yu came out and looked at the place where his mother laid. Only bloodstains remained on the ground and the young Shan Yu stood there.
Tears streamed out.
...
This incident meant nothing for the Shan Family.
