The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 428: Anxious

Lin Shuo watched the constable take Manager Sun away and then turned to the south side of the city.

The coroner had already examined the body, and here Gu Mei was placed into the coffin.

Jiang Youzhi accompanied Yun Jiao to the coffin shop to select a heavy camphorwood coffin, which cost forty taels of silver.

Gu Mei walked in front of her parents. According to local customs, as she was considered a transformed child, she shouldn’t stay at home overnight.

They didn’t dare move last night, also waiting for the government officials to arrive.

Since the government had examined the body, Gu Lian and Yun Jiao discussed and then asked the neighbors to carry the coffin out.

They carried the coffin out of the city all the way to a burial area on the outskirts of Xiang City, bought a plot of land, and buried Gu Mei there.

In front of Gu Mei’s grave, Yun Jiao and Gu Chuan burned many gold ingots.

Yun Jiao also bought a paper house and many paper clothes and burned them in front of Gu Mei’s grave.

She feared that Gu Mei would have nowhere to live and no money to spend on the other side.

Returning home, Yun Jiao collapsed.

Mrs. Chen came over with a worried look, "Why don’t you check your own pulse and prescribe yourself some medicine? I’ll go cook it for you."

Yun Jiao shook her head, "No need, I’ll be fine after resting a bit."

She knew she wasn’t sick.

Instead, it was a traumatic stress response after the shock and immense impact.

There were no psychologists here, so she needed to make psychological self-adjustments.

Shortly after lying down, Yun Jiao drowsily fell asleep, but soon woke up startled.

The scene of Gu Mei being stabbed by that woman and Gu Mei lying on the ground alternated in her dreams.

Perhaps it wasn’t a dream, just her own thoughts; she didn’t even know whether she was awake or asleep.

After waking, Yun Jiao steadied herself, consoled herself a bit, and continued to sleep.

Sanyan was guarding Yun Jiao’s room, watching her open and close her eyes from time to time.

During dinner, Yun Jiao didn’t get up. Everyone remained silent, and the atmosphere at the table was somewhat oppressive.

After the meal, Jiang Youzhi called Sanyan to the side, "How is Sister Jiao Jiao? Is she sleeping well?"

Sanyan shook her head, "Not good."

"I see Sister Jiao Jiao, she wakes up startled after a short while, sometimes drenched in sweat."

Jiang Youzhi was extremely anxious, wanting to see Yun Jiao and counsel her, but as a man, it wasn’t appropriate for him to enter the inner courtyard.

At this time, Mrs. Chen called from the kitchen, "Sanyan, come over and take this bowl of chicken noodle soup to your Sister Jiao Jiao."

Sanyan ran over, carefully carrying the tray to the backyard.

Jiang Youzhi didn’t return to the house but stood in the courtyard, looking towards the moon gate leading to the backyard.

After a while, Sanyan came back out, still carrying the tray.

Jiang Youzhi stopped Sanyan for a look; there was still more than half a bowl of noodles left. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

When Sanyan returned the dishes to the kitchen, Jiang Youzhi instructed her, "Wait, when Mr. Bai rests, come and tell me."

Sanyan obediently nodded.

Jiang Youzhi wanted to go to the backyard but was concerned about Mr. Bai.

Mr. Bai wasn’t a female family member, so it would be inappropriate if they accidentally met.

Lin Shuo saw Jiang Youzhi almost staring a hole through the moon gate and walked over to him, saying, "Don’t worry too much."

He gave a wry smile, "It’s all my fault. I was supposed to go with them, but—"

Jiang Youzhi looked at him in surprise, frowning, "Brother Lin!"

"Why do you blame yourself for this?"

"It was Manager Sun who instigated the kidnapping, and the woman who committed the murder. Why not blame the bad people instead of letting those who hurt you make you hurt yourself?"
