Chapter 613: Chapter 624: Dying Wish

"Isn’t it just so? With all this commotion, go tell Miss Xie to let the pearl rest in peace."

"Huh?" Lin Qianqing was utterly bewildered.

They were just trying to scare someone by saying that Miss Du wasn’t going to make it, but now that Miss Du was doing fine, how could they let her rest in peace?

"Just tell her that," Gu Youyou whispered.

Hardly understanding but steeling herself, Lin Qianqing took Xie Qinyun aside and said, "My cousin says that it’s okay for Miss Du to rest in peace now."

Xie Qinyun raised her eyebrows and glanced at Gu Youyou, who was standing far away, then nodded as if she understood.

Lin Qianqing was even more confused. Do you really understand what’s going on?

Before she could say another word, Xie Qinyun crawled over to Miss Du, crying as if in mourning, and shouted, "Second sister-in-law, I know you’re not going to make it, so please, if you have any last words, say them quickly. Father is here, he’ll surely take charge for you."

Miss Du only knew that she felt terrible and as if her head was going to explode at any moment, but she didn’t realize that she was on the brink of death.

She was confused and instinctively looked towards Cuiya, the person she trusted most.

Cuiya, who was in on the plan with Gu Youyou and the others, immediately crawled to Miss Du’s bedside, crying out, "Miss, please rest easy. You won’t be alone when you’re gone—Cuiya will hang herself with three feet of white silk and serve you even in the Infernal Hell."

Everyone then remembered that Miss Du was unlikely to survive much longer, and that if she could still speak, it must be the last rally of energy before death.

Master Jie said, "Now that it has come to this... your vengeance... ah, let’s not talk about that now. Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

Seeing everyone acting this way, Miss Du was stunned on the spot.

She had indeed thought about how death would bring peace, but ever since deciding to leave the Jie Residence, she had been thinking about what to do after leaving and how to rebuild the Yu Family’s embroidery business. However, she never expected that she wouldn’t live to leave the Jie Residence, let alone have a chance to express her last wishes.

Tears streamed from the corners of Miss Du’s eyes as she quickly accepted her fate.

Well, such was her life... it was meant to be this way.

She looked up at Jie’s second young master, and the concubine who was timidly hiding behind him, feeling an unbearable heaviness in her heart as if it was about to burst forth.

It was these two who had ruined her life.

Since she was not going to live, she wanted nothing to do with these two ever again.

She said, "Uncle Jie, to speak unpleasantly, marrying into your family was the greatest regret of my life, so I hope you can... grant me a divorce from the second young master right now. When I die, bury me in the Du Family’s graveyard, with my parents."

Master Jie, tears streaming down his face, nodded heavily several times.

"It was my confusion, yes, I promise you."

He immediately ordered someone to prepare ink and paper, and he quickly wrote the divorce paper himself. It was ready in a short while, and all they needed to do was press their fingerprints on it to each hold a copy for it to be official.

Miss Du pressed her fingerprint without hesitation. When it was the turn of Jie’s second young master, he hesitated and could not bring himself to do it.

The concubine watched Jie’s second young master nervously, her eyes fixed on the divorce paper.

It was the very thing she had longed for.

Jie’s second young master looked at Miss Du and said, "The Du Family is no more. Who will offer incense at your grave if you enter the Du Family’s graveyard? It might be better to..."

Xie Qinyun immediately stood between Jie’s second young master and Miss Du, saying, "Second brother, this is your second sister-in-law’s dying wish. You and your beloved have driven her to her death, can you not let her rest in peace after she’s gone? Do you really want the three of you to continue this conflict for another hundred years?"
