Chapter 772: Chapter 766: Don’t You Feel Ashamed?

Reflecting on these years, he felt that he truly owed Du Xintong so much.

The second young master Jie stood still, his expression crestfallen.

Cuiya, mocking, laughed and said, "It seems that even you, second young master Jie, don’t know where old master and Madam’s graves are. When you had the status, you never visited, so on what grounds would you visit now? I think it’s better to forget it, lest it become a joke."

Having said that, she slammed the door shut, paying no mind to second young master Jie’s embarrassment.

Second young master Jie gave a wry smile, finding that this rejection was thoroughly deserved.

Thinking of this, he felt that Miss Du had every reason to resent and hate him.

This was all his own doing, no one else to blame.

Second young master Jie stood under the eaves, facing the cold wind. Not long after, the door opened again, and out came Miss Du and others.

The ladies were all wrapped in cloaks; their attire indeed suggested they were embarking on a long journey.

Second young master Jie let out a breath of white air and approached them with a smile.

"It’s been a long time since I’ve visited uncle Du and aunt Du, I... "

"Do you feel ashamed?" Miss Du interrupted him, speaking indifferently.

The words of second young master Jie stuck in his throat, the smile he had forced upon his face now frozen.

One by one, people came out of the house. A woman, wrapped tightly all over, was assisted out by two other women, one on each side. At a glance, she saw second young master Jie standing at the door, his lips slightly purple from the cold.

That one glance was like a cat seeing a fish, irrepressible; she shook off the two women supporting her and burst out shouting as she threw herself at second young master Jie.

"Husband, husband, you’ve come to see me again, husband..."

Miss Du furrowed her brows and scolded, "Take her to the carriage."

The two maids complied, picking up Du Wanqing from either side and dragging her toward the carriage.

Second young master Jie turned ghostly pale, whether from the fright of Du Wanqing’s behavior or from Miss Du’s earlier question, "Don’t you feel ashamed?"

Both these women had become what they are now because of him. They were the last bloodline of the Du Family; what face did he have to see lord Du and Madam Du?

He stood under the eaves, watching them all board the carriage and depart into the snowy distance, yet he dared not move a single step forward.

The servant felt sorry for his own young master and opened an umbrella to shield him from the snowflakes, saying, "Second young master, if you want to go, just go."

"Can I... Can I still go?"

The servant replied, "Just treat it as personally admitting your wrongs to lord Du and Madam Du, it’s also second young master’s sincere intention."

Second young master Jie paused, then turned to look at the servant and said, "Admit my wrongs?"

"Yes, second young master."

Yes, indeed, he really should admit his wrongs.

Finally, second young master Jie found a reason for himself to follow and hurriedly had someone drive his carriage after Miss Du’s carriage.

The Du family’s graveyard was somewhat desolate, for the Du family only had two young misses left, with no one else remaining.

Miss Du personally set up the sacrificial table with fruit and offerings.

She knelt in front of lord Du and Madam Du’s graves, burning ceremonial paper while softly speaking something.

Second young master Jie watched from a distance, and after a moment, he resolutely stepped forward and knelt next to Miss Du.

Underneath Miss Du, who was kneeling, there was a thick cushion provided by the maid, whereas second young master Jie was kneeling directly on the snowy ground.

Miss Du looked at his knees with surprise, then raised her head to look at second young master Jie and said, "There’s really no need for this. We’ve long settled our accounts."
