Chapter 1143 Family Ceremony

Mei Fei led him through the crisscrossing group of monuments, and finally stopped in front of a large tomb:

"We are here. All of my family of fifty people, except my sister, are here."

This large tomb, which buried forty-nine people, is not small in area, but the tombstone is not big. There is only a two-foot-high simple monument with a few words on it:

Mai Clan Tomb.

The tomb was surrounded by weeds, almost covering the tombstone. But when the three of them approached, they found that there were two dried oranges of different sizes placed in front of the tomb, one of which had three incense sticks inserted.

There were a few pieces of orange peel not far away, and it seemed that one of the oranges was eaten by other creatures or people.

Dong Rui looked at Mei Fei, who reached out to wipe off the loose soil on the monument and said, "Occasionally, someone will take the risk to pay respects."

There are always people who remember the kindness of Prime Minister Mai.

Mai Liansheng was identified as a traitor, and those who come here to visit the tomb have to take certain risks.

She took out the fruits bought in the town market and the flowers picked on the roadside, placed them in front of the monument, and also offered three incense sticks.

He Lingchuan found a rectangular stone nearby. He didn't know where the tombstone fell from, but the words on both sides were worn away.

He took out his Fusheng knife, shaved the stone flat and straight, and wrote a few words on the stone surface with the tip of the knife:

Mai Gong Qiangu.

Then, he dug a hole next to the Mai tombstone, pressed the long stone into it, buried it three feet into the soil and filled it hard.

Mei Fei was watching from the side until He Lingchuan drew his knife and wrote. She understood and blinked several times.

After the new tombstone was erected, He Lingchuan asked Lingguang to take out the cinnabar red paint, mix it with water, and put it in front of Mei Fei:

"You trace it."

The brush was dipped in cinnabar, and Mei Fei slowly raised the brush to trace the inscription in red.

Just these few words, she traced very slowly, every stroke was very careful.

After so many years, she could finally come to sweep the tomb openly, and finally she could tell her parents and clansmen about the revenge!

Mei Fei's hands suddenly trembled a little, and a little water stain flowed down her smooth cheek.

More and more.

She suddenly threw down her pen, hugged the tombstone, and cried loudly!

The crows not far away were frightened by her crying and flew away.

Even He Lingchuan, who had been hard-hearted for many years, could hear the sadness and pain of the cuckoo's blood-crying.

She had been wandering around and suffered hardships for eight years.

The road of revenge for this weak woman was really full of blood and tears.

The black wolf stayed by her side, licking the tears on her face.

After a long while, Mei Fei slowly stopped talking, took out a shovel and dug a small pit next to the Mai family tomb, put two plain skirts, a wine glass, and a pair of straw sandals, and then filled the pit with soil to make a small cenotaph.

Dong Rui was confused: "Who is this tomb for?"

"My adoptive parents, they live next to the Xishan horse farm."

When she mentioned this, the two remembered. More than two years ago, Prince Wu brought Mei Fei back from the vicinity of Xishan Horse Farm, thinking that she was the daughter of an ordinary family.

Then, Mei Fei must have a superficial "family" in Xishan Horse Farm.

"Although I am not their biological daughter, they treat me as their own. I actually felt the warmth of my relatives in a fake home." Mei Fei thought of the past and smiled with narrowed eyes, "The food cooked by my adoptive mother is delicious, and my adoptive father hides a small bottle of rice wine in the woodshed. When I feel greedy, I use the excuse of going to the toilet and then secretly drink a few sips. My adoptive mother and I know it, but we don't say it out loud."

She pointed to a big stone and asked He Lingchuan: "Mr. He, can you please write a stele for them?"

He Lingchuan drew out the Fu Sheng knife: "Come."

He wrote a line of words on the stele for Mei Fei:

The tomb of Zhao Aqiang and Ru Xiaozhen.

After the stele was erected, Mei Fei meticulously served them fruits.

Dong Rui asked, "When did they die?"

"A few days ago." Mei Fei lit three incense sticks for her adoptive parents. "When King Wu ordered a warrant for my arrest, my adoptive parents both hanged themselves, and their bodies were taken away by the palace guards."

"They knew this day would come, and they were ready." She kowtowed three times respectfully. "They have a big grudge against Nangong Yan, but Nangong Da Zongguan himself doesn't know it."

Even if Nangong Yan knew, he probably wouldn't care.

Then, she burned paper money for both graves.

This burning lasted for more than a quarter of an hour.

He Lingchuan and the others didn't urge her.

After burning the last piece of paper money, she wiped the tears from her face, turned around and smiled at the two of them, "I'm fine, my wish is fulfilled, and I can go with you two."

There was still a little paper ash on the corner of Mei Fei's lips, but for the first time she showed a relaxed and innocent smile. "How many people have been wronged and persecuted, but they are forever in hell, and there is no chance to wash away their hatred. Compared to them, I am so happy."

She was relieved of all the burdens on her body, and she could be calm.

"We both need to go east, and we can't bring a burden with us." He Lingchuan took out the dagger and threw it back to her, "Let's go our separate ways here."

Mei Fei grabbed the dagger, her face full of disbelief: "You, you won't arrest me?"

"You are free." Looking at her wide-open eyes, He Lingchuan smiled transparently, "Isn't this what you have been striving for?"

The victim of this case is gone, and Mou Di and Lingshan will not pursue it. As the entrusted party, he has no reason to do it.

When these words were spoken, Mei Fei's eyes and face turned red.

She put away the dagger and gave them a smile: "Thank you."

This smile is like a hundred flowers blooming, graceful and fragrant in the morning light.

Dong Rui couldn't help asking: "Where are you going? Pengguo has not yet withdrawn the wanted order for you."

"I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet." Mei Fei glanced at He Lingchuan, her smoky eyes seemed to be able to speak, "When it comes to revenge, I only think about revenge."

She was free and seemed to be at a loss.

The sky is far away, where is she going?

"A woman like you will definitely find a direction." After He Lingchuan finished speaking, he urged Dong Rui to get on the horse, "The sky is high and the water is long, we will see you later."

Dong Rui was still reluctant to leave and looked back at Concubine Mei.

Such a beautiful woman is really rare.

The horse hadn't even taken two steps when Concubine Mei's voice came from behind again:

"Wait a moment!"

Dong Rui quickly stopped his horse.

He Lingchuan looked back at her: "What else are you going to explain? Just tell me."

Mei Fei bit her lip and suddenly said: "I'm sorry, I lied to you before about Ming Dengzhan."

The horse snorted, and He Lingchuan patted the horse's neck to comfort it: "What's wrong with Ming Dengzhan?"

Sure enough, Mei Fei still has clues here.

"Actually, all I know about the inside story of Ming Dengzhan can be seen from the jade slips collected by my father. At that time, my father spent a lot of effort to keep the jade slips usable. There is a notebook in it, and its author is called 'Chuoyun Zhenren'."

He Lingchuan raised his eyebrows slightly, signaling for her to continue, but he was actually very happy.

Master Chuoyun!

The Spider Demon Sisters had mentioned this person when they gave him the key points of popular science about Ming Lan.
