Chapter 776: In The Tomb 8
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
With Chef Wang dead, the light in Lian Qian’s eyes disappeared again.
At first, she did not believe it, but when she saw the familiar face in the coffin with her own eyes and saw it being buried, Lian Qian realized that he was not joking that night.
Lian Qian cried silently, regret lingering in her heart. She could not even lie to herself. That night, she knew that he was not joking, but she deceived herself just because of her stubbornness.
After Chef Wang died, she regretted it.
If she was given another chance, she would definitely choose to be with Chef Wang. She also liked him and hoped to marry him.
However, there was no turning back in life.
Lian Qian often dreamed of her girlhood. In her dream, she met Chef Wang in a lively street. Chef Wang was right about having met her before she was married.
Lian Qian had done two things in her life that she would regret for the rest of her life. The first was that she chose her husband based on a portrait.
If she wasn’t so simple-minded, perhaps everything would be different.
The second thing was that she had let Chef Wang down. She did not dare to imagine how Chef Wang died that night. If she had been braver, the regret and pain of the first half of her life could have been healed by Chef Wang.
Lian Qian was in pain. Although the little girl’s culinary skills were no different from Chef Wang’s, they were not the same person after all. Lian Qian fell sick and was bedridden. She was not afraid of death. Perhaps death was a relief.
Su Yanyu felt terrible. How aggrieved would it be to die just like that?
Lian Qian was depressed. She let herself starve. Her body was not made of iron. If she did not eat or drink, she would collapse in a few days.
Su Yanyu was anxious. If Lian Qian died just like that, he did not know if he could leave the illusion or not.
On the tenth day of Lian Qian’s serious illness, the man and his concubine who had not seen her for a long time came to see her again. Lian Qian was exuding the aura of death. Anyone could tell that she was about to die.
The man did not look sad at all. Instead, he felt happy. “You’re finally going to die. If you die, all of this will be mine. Marrying you is the thing I regret the most in my life. You’ve also suffered for your entire life. If you die, you’ll be free.”
Lian Qian could not speak. She did not have the strength.
The concubine also looked smug. She leaned against the man and fantasized about how the man would marry her openly after Lian Qian’s death and how the wedding would be held.
The man agreed to all the requests the concubine made. The concubine even boldly went to the dressing cabinet in Lian Qian’s room and took out the expensive jewelry inside to wear. She asked the man shyly, “Husband, do I look good?”
The man’s eyes were gentle. “Of course you look good.”
The two of them completely treated Lian Qian as a dead person. In any case, Lian Qian was on her last breath. She would die sooner or later. Even if Lian Qian died, no one would be sad for her.
All the jewelry in the jewelry cabinet was taken away.
Lian Qian’s gloomy expression turned into hatred. She did not want to live anymore, but she could not give her wealth to this couple. Before she died, she had to settle everything.
In the past, she wanted to be buried with this man to make up for the regret in her life. Now, she understood that it was an insult to her to be buried with such a man.
Lian Qian was not ill in a medical sense. She was just too depressed to eat anything and was too weak.
Therefore, after she ate the food, her weak body quickly recovered. The little girl laughed. “That’s great, that’s great. Madam is finally willing to eat.”
The dishes the little girl made were nourishing. Lian Qian quickly recovered.
When Lian Qian ate the familiar dishes, her eyes would always turn red. She did not cry, but Su Yanyu knew that she was in pain.
The first thing Lian Qian did upon recovering was to divorce the man. The man and his concubine were completely dumbfounded.
The man did not agree. Lian Qian reported it to the authorities and sued the concubine for stealing her jewelry. Every piece of her jewelry was extremely precious. The man could not protect his concubine at all.
The concubine’s children all looked at Lian Qian with hatred, but Lian Qian was expressionless. “If you don’t want a divorce, you and the people you love will never be able to see each other again.”
The man gritted his teeth in hatred. He was naturally unwilling to abandon the people he loved. Lian Qian did not give him a choice, just like how he didn’t give her a choice back then.
After the divorce, Lian Qian only gave the man and his concubine a hundred taels of silver. How could the man and his concubine be willing to accept this? However, no matter how unwilling they were, what could they do? The family business was all in Lian Qian’s hand. Lian Qian was already being generous to give him a hundred taels of silver.
A hundred taels was a lot to ordinary people, but to the man and his concubine who were used to living in luxury, it was not much. They enjoyed more than half of their lives, but the rest of their lives were bleak. The two of them felt like a heavy mountain was pressing on their hearts.
Lian Qian, on the other hand, felt relieved. That man was completely unrelated to her. She was all alone, but she was even more regretful. If she had done this earlier, she would have grown old with the person she loved for the rest of her life.
She had missed it…
Even if she had endless wealth, it could not bring the person she missed back to life.
Su Yanyu sighed.
Lian Qian visited many mechanism masters. She chose a place to build the tomb and found the best sculptor to carve her life. In order to prevent the tomb from being trespassed, there were many mechanisms. What she regretted for the rest of her life also became her obsession.
As time passed, the middle-aged woman had already become a white-haired old woman. After the tomb was built, she put on her red wedding dress and slowly lay down in the coffin, letting herself die slowly.
The moment Lian Qian’s world turned dark, Su Yanyu’s heart skipped a beat. However, what awaited him was not waking up. He could no longer feel Lian Qian’s feelings, but there was still darkness in front of him.
Su Yanyu panicked. Was he going to be trapped here forever?
“The thing I regret the most in my life is letting him down and causing him to die. If only I wasn’t a coward that night.”
After Lian Qian’s faint voice sounded, Su Yanyu saw her. The woman in the wedding dress looked like a young girl, but her eyes were terrifying..
