Chapter 372
At the end of her life, all the pictures in her life suddenly appeared in Tan Zishen's mind at this moment, joys and sorrows, bitterness and sweetness, all kinds of pictures appeared in front of her.
She is so regretful.
Regretting that she was deceived by He Rencheng's rhetoric when she was young and ignorant, and actually believed that he would sincerely care for her for the rest of her life, she was so stupid.
It was so stupid that He Changbai didn't really see the true face of He Rencheng until after He Changbai was born, and she didn't really give up until then.
Married into He Fu for nearly 20 years, she spent her best time on He Rencheng, it was too worthless.
Not only that, but she couldn't protect her own children, which caused He Mingxue to be humiliated and He Changbai to be killed by Aunt Liu.
She is so sorry.
He regretted why he didn't kill Aunt Liu when she entered the mansion.
"Mother, I don't blame you." He Mingxue raised her head and tried to smile at her with tears in her eyes, trying to tell her that her life was fine and she didn't blame her.
"Xue'er." Tan Zishen gently touched her cheek, with a doting smile on her face. "Xue'er has grown up and can take care of herself."
"No, mother, I'm still young, and I still need my mother to take care of me, mother." He Mingxue grabbed her hand and rubbed it on her face, her tone full of nostalgia and prayer.
"Xue'er has grown up." Tan Zichen didn't seem to hear her words, she turned her head to look at the dilapidated roof, and saw a little spider that had already frozen to death on the spider web above.
She smiled suddenly, and she seemed to see something in a daze. She raised her hand and stretched it upwards, as if she wanted to grab something.
"Bo'er, don't go and wait for mother, Bai'er." Her words seemed to be squeezed out of her throat, so hoarse and weak that it was almost inaudible. "Wait for me, Bai'er, mother, mother is here to accompany you..."
He Mingxue heard it clearly, and immediately cried more violently. "Mother, don't leave me alone, don't."
Her heart-piercing cries could no longer reach her ears.
After Lin Chuqian outside the house heard it, she sighed softly, and her heart also became heavy.
He Mingxue cried in the room for a long time, and when the sky began to darken, she slowly opened the door.
Lin Chuqian turned around and wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know how to say it.
"Aunt Bai." He Mingxue, whose crying voice was hoarse, spoke first. "My mother died of illness, please tell the palace that I will keep my mother's filial piety for three years, and my marriage with the prince will be terminated at this point."
Lin Chuqian was taken aback, the matter was both reasonable and unexpected.She couldn't help persuading: "Mrs. definitely doesn't want you to lose your marriage because of her, and what's your place in this mansion?"
"For me, there is no place in this world anymore."
He Mingxue's eyes were red and swollen, and his expression might say that he was devastated, but it might be better to say that his heart was ashamed.
Lin Chuqian understood her determination, so she stopped trying to persuade her, but hurriedly ordered Steward Liu to report the matter to He Rencheng immediately, and began to prepare for Tan Zichen's funeral.
**
People die like lights go out.
Apparently, He Rencheng also understood this truth. After hearing the news of Tan Zichen's death, he waved his hand to express that he forgave all her past mistakes. Handle her funeral in a decent manner.
He Rencheng would do this, naturally because he wanted to show his noble personality to outsiders.
Moreover, he still has his marriage with the palace in mind. Tan Zichen is He Mingxue's biological mother and the nominal wife of the mansion. When she dies, she naturally wants to be decent.
After Tan Zi's death, He Mingxue seemed to have lost the motivation to survive.
The last straw that broke the camel's back finally fell impartially.
All of He Mingxue's hopes were shattered. Originally, she was thinking that after she married into the palace, she would ask He Rencheng to take her mother over when the time came. Who knew that before she married into the palace, Tan Zichen died of illness. up.
This blow was too big, so big that she didn't want to live on.She wished so much that she could die once and for all, and go to see He Changbai with her mother.
But she was so unwilling, unwilling to die in such an unbearable way.
Lin Chuqian wrote a letter to the palace on the second day of Tan Zishen's death. The letter expressed He Mingxue's wish to be a filial piety for Tan Zishen for three years, and did not want to delay Wang Rongyan, so the marriage contract between the two families was terminated.
After He Rencheng found out, he was furious, severely reprimanded He Mingxue, and found that the latter was indifferent, like a walking dead, so he cursed angrily, and left disappointed.
Tan Zichen handled the funeral very decently and notified many people, but few people came to express their condolences.
One is bad luck.
The second is that Tan Zichen's reputation is so bad that most people don't want to come.
But Wang Rongyan came regardless of etiquette. After burning incense for Tan Zichen, he walked up to He Mingxue, and neither mentioned the marriage contract nor asked her to mourn.
Instead, after taking a serious and focused look at her, he gently left three words in her ear and left.
He said, "I'll wait for you."
**
Not long after Tan Zishen's death, Lin Chuqian had the time to think about the cause of her death after her funeral was settled.
He died of hunger and cold.
This is really weird.
Besides, no matter how much food is delivered to her three meals a day, even if there are leftovers, when a person is hungry to a certain extent, she still has the desire to survive, so how can she starve to death?
As for catching cold, this is even more impossible.
Because Lin Chuqian instructed Butler Liu to give Tan Zichen a winter coat after the winter, so that she would not freeze to death no matter what.
Before Tan Zishen died, Lin Chuqian had entered her yard, and there was no food or thick bedding in the room.
The last thing Tan Zichen wrapped her body was only an autumn dress and the curtain she tore off.
At first, Lin Chuqian kept her expression on the ground, because she didn't want to startle the snake. Although she had a vague idea in her heart, she didn't dare to make a conclusion without evidence.
So she called Butler Liu and asked him to go down to check who was delivering meals to Tan Zichen in the mansion, and then went to check on Tan Zichen's servants and ask him what happened to Tan Zichen before he died. No one has ever seen her.
Steward Liu came to report soon after the investigation.
After listening to his report, Lin Chuqian sat alone in the yard for a long time, feeling so complicated that she didn't know how to express it.
It turned out that the maid who delivered Tan Zichen's meals felt that He Rencheng would not be able to let her out again, so she despised and neglected Tan Zichen.
Said it was to deliver food, but in fact it was just carrying the cold and spoiled food and leaving it at the door.
It's really no different than feeding a dog.
That's all.
Tan Zishen's original quilt and thick winter coat were also snatched by this maid in a momentary fascination.
He said it was because he felt that it was better for Tan Zishen to wear clothes for himself, because she felt warm and comfortable staying in the house all day, unlike him who had to deliver meals to her in winter.
So because of this maid's negligence and despicableness, Tan Zishen was tortured by hunger and cold in the dilapidated house.
Tan Zichen must have felt so humiliated that this servant dared to snatch her bedding.
Tired and suffering from hunger and cold, she was so hungry that when she went out to see if she had something to eat today, she accidentally fainted on the ground, and never got up again after she fainted.
