章 39: Chapter 39 The Bite that Led to the Separation_1

Pei Loaer Pei Zongli's gravesite was on the hillside three miles away, where the whole slope was filled with the burials of the Pei family because Pei Zongli held the title of Scholar. When he was buried, his family had a stele carved for him, and Pei Lizheng even inscribed it.

Pei Qin didn't want to cry for a father she never knew; if he hadn't died so early, Madam Fang and her children wouldn't have ended up in such a tragic situation.

But appearances still had to be kept up. So Lady Fang went to the graveyard crying, and Pei Qin didn't stop her.

Upon arriving at Pei Zongli's grave, Lady Fang knelt before the stele, weeping incessantly. She didn't chant or wail like Lady Chen, there was only crying.

Pei Qin could clearly hear the despair, helplessness, and regret in her sobs.

A woman who had lost her husband, was forced into Jian Xiao, became like a servant to a family, with several children, humble and struggling to stay alive.
