As the night deepened, the lively general’s residence returned to silence. Under this silence, it was as if the air was filled with grief. “Yuwan, I’ll get the servants to tidy up a room. Go and rest.”

“No need.” Yuan Yuwan lowered her eyes. “I’ll leave in a while.”

Madam Xiao paused for a moment and understood something. She sighed and said, “Alright.”

With that, she gestured for the maidservant kneeling behind her to help her up. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. “I’ll go and see Ruoshui. Talk to Rui’er. I’ll get Uncle Tong to arrange a carriage to send you back later.”

Xiao Ruoshui was pregnant. After kneeling for a day, her face turned pale. In the end, Madam Xiao got someone to forcefully send her back to her room and even asked Fan Mingyuan to take care of her.

Yuan Yuwan knew that Madam Xiao wanted to give her a chance to be alone with Xiao Qirui. She turned around and bowed. “Thank you, Auntie.”

Madam Xiao took all the servants in the mourning hall away, leaving only Yuan Yuwan and her servant behind.

“Wait for me outside,” Yuan Yuwan said.

You Bai sniffed. “Yes.”

After the footsteps behind her faded away, Yuan Yuwan threw all the paper money in her hand into the brazier. She stood up and walked towards the coffin.

She gently reached out and brushed past the coffin. She looked down at the coffin in front of her, as if she was looking at the young man lying inside again.

After a while, she clenched her fists and said in a trembling voice, “In this life, you betrayed me twice. I should blame you, but you were too ruthless. You didn’t even give me this chance.”

As long as he was still alive, she would not feel so terrible even if the two of them completely stopped contacting each other in the future.

As long as he was still alive.

Yuan Yuwan closed her eyes gently. “You owe me. In your next life…”

She opened her eyes and watched with a smile. Tears suddenly fell and hit the coffin, causing water to splash. “Make it up to me again.”

With that, she turned around and walked out, as if she was afraid that she would not be able to walk away if she waited any longer.

She didn’t know if there was a next life. If there was, she would definitely cry and make a fuss. She would make this person unable to let go of her and couldn’t bear to die.

“Miss.” Seeing her come out, You Bai quickly went forward to help her. Yuan Yuwan resisted the urge to turn around and said calmly, “Let’s go.” You Bai pursed her lips and stopped talking.

The master and servant walked straight out of the residence. They passed by a corner and happened to meet General Xiao.

“Uncle Xiao.” Yuan Yuwan bowed.

General Xiao was stunned for a moment. He turned to look in the direction the master and servant were going and nodded. “It’s been hard on you today.”

“Arrange for a carriage. Send Little Yuan back personally,” he instructed Xiao Tong.

The latter quickly went to make arrangements.

“Thank you, Uncle.”

General Xiao waved his hand. “Hurry up and go. It’s going to be curfew soon.”

“Yes.” Yuan Yuwan bowed and left with You Bai.

“Little Yuan.” General Xiao suddenly stopped her.

Yuan Yuwan stopped in her tracks and turned around. The moonlight shone on her fair figure, making her look slightly thin. General Xiao continued, “If you encounter any difficulties in the future, feel free to come to the Xiao residence.

This will always be your home.”

Yuan Yuwan was slightly stunned and bowed again.

At this moment, two carriages were parked at the entrance of the residence. Xiao Tong waited beside one of them with a strange expression. Yuan Yuwan didn’t think too much about it. Just as she was about to go over, the curtain of the other carriage was lifted.

“Yuwan, I’ll send you back.” It was Shangguan Heng.

Only then did Yuan Yuwan recognize that the driver of the other carriage was Yuan Bao. She finally understood why Xiao Tong had that expression.

No matter what, she was once the Young Madam of the Xiao family. Xiao Qirui’s corpse was lying inside. Seeing a foreign man come to pick her up, even if she didn’t plan to marry again, he would feel a little upset.

At this moment, the sound of hooves sounded again. A carriage stopped in front of her.

“Sister Yuwan, Auntie asked us to bring you home.” Lin Miaomiao stuck her head out.

Lin Shao was driving the carriage, and Song Jinghao rode beside him.

Yuan Yuwan felt a warm current in her heart. She bowed to Shangguan Heng and said, “Thank you, Your Highness, but men and women should guard against each other. Your Highness, please leave.”

“Ah Yu…” Shangguan Heng’s baby face frowned.

Yuan Yuwan stopped looking at him and said to Xiao Tong, “Uncle Tong, someone is here to pick me up. I won’t trouble you to make a trip.”

“Well.”

Yuan Yuwan shook her head and let You Bai help her into the Song family’s carriage.

However, their carriage was in the middle. It was easy to turn in. If they wanted to go out, they had to let the carriage in front leave first. Shangguan Heng had no choice but to instruct Yuan Bao to leave dejectedly..
