Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

Chapter 626 Ancestral Home...

Su Hui came out of her room with her things as she came across the servant who just cleaned Lu Qiang and Jiang Yuyan’s bedroom. The servant bowed to Su Hui and she was about to go ahead, but Su Hui’s sight caught something in the servant’s hands.

"Stop!"

As the servant stopped and turned to look at Su Hui, she heard her, "What’s that in your hand?"

"This? I found in one jacket from the third young master’s room so I an going to give it to....."

"Show me," Su Hui instructed and the servant passed the wallet in her hand to Su Hui.

Opening the wallet, Su Hui checked it and found out it belonged to Ming Rusheng. She looked at the servant and asked again, "Where is the jacket?"

"It’s in the laundry room," the servant answered.

"Bring it to me," Su Hui instructed and nodding servant left to get the jacket.

In a while, the servant came and Su Hui took that jacket from her, sent the servant away. Su Hui took that jacket and the wallet inside her room and after some time she went downstairs where others were waiting.

Jiang Yuyan came downstairs carrying a cremation urn in her hands while others were just looking at her, thinking how much it must have hurt her. Though she didn’t look at anyone as she tried to hide that she cried, others still could see her wet eyes and red nose.

Lu Feng went to her and offered to get the cremation urn from her, but she shook her head as she wanted to keep it with her. It was the last trace of Lu Qiang’s existence, even though it was just ashes.

Jiang Yuyan sat in the car while holding that cremation urn and Lu Lijun sat beside her in the back passenger seat. Lu Feng joined them too as he sat in the Co-driver seat. He didn’t want to leave Jiang Yuyan alone in such a condition, and after what San Zemin told him, he was worried about her even more.

As the family members had to go to the ancestral town for the ritual, there were few people who couldn’t make it. Lu Chen had to stay back as he had to handle the mess going on the Lu corporation. Jiang Peizhi and Jiang Yang stayed back as Jiang Yang was doing his job as a doctor by looking after Lu Jinhai who was still in a critical condition and Jiang Peizhi thought to stay beside Lu Jinhai as his family.

Mo Ruolan couldn’t leave her daughter alone in such condition and went with her. Sitting beside Ning Jiahui, she was trying to console her as her daughter didn’t need anyone’s attention and wanted to be alone and on her own.

On the way into the car, Jiang Yuyan continued staring out of the window blankly while Lu Feng was observing her and Lu Lijun through the rear-view mirror. When Lu Feng’s eyes met with Lu Lijun, he signaled Lu Lijun something through his eyes. It was a small reaction through his sight, but Lu Lijun understood it.

Understanding Lu Feng’s signal, Lu Lijun looked at Jiang Yuyan and spoke, "Water."

Jiang Yuyan looked at Lu Lijun and then at the water bottle in his hand. He was asking her to have water. Jiang Yuyan couldn’t say no, even though she was not feeling any hunger or thirst. She accepted it just because it was something Lu Lijun did on his own and she thought of it as a part of the improvement in his condition.

She had water and passed the bottle back to Lu Lijun, "Thank you" and patted his head.

Lu Lijun didn’t react to her thank you and looked at Lu Feng as both brothers were communicating through eyes that only they could understand.

It took them half a day to reach the ancestral town as it was far from the city. After so many years the whole family was there but the reason they were there for, was the sad one which made them not so happy about coming back to their real home.

Getting out of the car still holding the cremation urn, Jiang Yuyan looked around as the blurred images from her childhood flashed in front of her eyes when she visited this place in the past. Not just the Lu family but Jiang Family too had roots in the same village but they never visited here after the death of Jiang Yuyan’s last relative and that was her grandma.

The Le Family’s residence was the typical Chinese courtyard house called Siheyuan. It was positioned around the north-south-east-west axis which comprises several small houses that grouped around one or more central courtyards.

The main house was positioned north but facing south, which was for the head of the family. There were small houses adjoining to the main house, placing east-west called side houses.

Everyone stepped out of the car and they all headed to enter the house. At the entrance, the servants were waiting to welcome them in front of the main gate which was painted vermilion and had copper door knockers on it.

As they entered the gate, there was a screen wall inside that meant for privacy but superstition held that it also protects the house from evil spirits. A pair of stone lions were placed outside the gate.

As they were in the house after so long, they looked around.

The entire house was maintained in the same way, clean and neat. The northern, eastern and western buildings were connected by beautifully decorated pathways. These passages serve as shelters from the sunshine during the day, making one enjoy the calm view of the courtyard in the night.

On the one side, there was a garden that was adding to the fresh and pleasant atmosphere inside the courtyard.
