Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The one leading them was a young woman dressed in blue, appearing to be around twenty years old, and she had a beautiful appearance.
As she approached and saw the face of the deceased, her delicate figure trembled, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears.
“Brother Yi, what happened to you? Don’t scare me, Brother Yi!”
She crouched down and reached for the man’s face.
To be honest, the man’s appearance wasn’t great at this point.
After being frozen for who knows how long, his face had turned stiff and bluish-gray, covered in white snow. It looked somewhat frightening, and even though he had a decent appearance, the terrifying state of his death overshadowed it.
But the young woman in blue showed no fear at all. She touched the man’s face, tears filling her eyes.
After confirming that the young man truly had no signs of life, she couldn’t help but shed tears.
“Brother Yi, I was wrong! 1 was wrong! If 1 had known you would die, I would never have become acquainted with you, let alone agreed to be with you. Sob, sob, what will 1 do now that you’re gone? How can you ask me to go on without you?”
It appeared that she and the deceased were in a romantic relationship.
The young woman in blue cried her heart out, with tears pouring down like rain.
On the side, what seemed to be servants and maidservants tried to console her, “Miss, please don’t cry. The gentleman has passed away, and your excessive grief will harm your health. If Young Master Qiu Yi is watching from the heavens, he wouldn’t want to see you so heartbroken.”
“Yes, Miss, please take care of yourself. Think about your own well-being, as well as the child in your belly.”
Gu Qingluan glanced at the young woman’s hairstyle, which was clearly that of an unmarried woman.
Could it be that she was pregnant out of wedlock?
Why would a healthy person die here?
Gu Qingluan found it perplexing.
What was even more puzzling was how these people had suddenly rushed out and known that the person who died here was the one they were looking for.
Until she figured things out, Gu Qingluan decided to observe silently.
As for the young woman in blue, after being comforted for a while, she finally regained some composure.
She wanted to personally take the deceased back, but it seemed that she had cried so much that she couldn’t stand on her own.
The servants supported her, while others went to lift the body of the deceased.
The young woman in blue turned around, her eyes red, and wore a distressed expression. I’m sorry you have to see me like this. As for Brother Yi… do any of you know why he died here? Someone mentioned that there was a death here and sent me the news. I had a bad feeling. I’ve been searching for Brother Yi for two days. I didn’t want to believe it was him, yet I was afraid it was him. I came here with mixed feelings. What I least wanted to see was still what I saw…”
As she spoke, her voice choked up, and she occasionally sobbed, looking extremely heartbroken.
Gu Qingluan calmly glanced at her two sons and Xiaobai before replying, “My sons were playing in the snow and accidentally stumbled upon it.”
“1 see, it must have scared the child, right? I’m sorry, 1 don’t think Brother Yi would have wanted…” The young woman in blue couldn’t bring herself to continue her sentence.
“Miss, shall we go back?”
The young woman in blue turned to Gu Qingluan and Feng Tianlan, saying, “I’ll take Brother Yi back first. Goodbye.”
She turned away and glanced at Ming Qiu Yi’s body, her gaze hesitating slightly. “What about Brother Yi’s sword?”
“Miss, we haven’t found Young Master Qiu Yi’s sword.”
“How could it be? Brother Yi cherished his sword the most, and he never let it out of his sight. How could it be missing? Please, hurry and search for it!”
“Yes!”
The servants promptly began digging through the snow to find the sword.
Feng Tianlan put his arm around Gu Qingluan’s shoulder and said, “Let’s go back.”
Gu Qingluan nodded.
“Just a moment!”
Just as they were about to turn and leave, the young woman in blue urgently called out to them.
Her voice carried a sense of urgency, causing Gu Qingluan and the others to stop and turn back to look at her.
“Is there a problem, Miss?”
“Do you… did you see a sword earlier?” The young woman in blue, with her eyes red and swollen from crying, expressed a faint apology. “I don’t mean to suspect you. 1 just want to find Brother Yi’s sword and bury it with him. That sword was Brother Yi’s most beloved possession, and he never allowed anyone to touch it. He said he wouldn’t even let it leave his side in death. I don’t know if you saw it when you dug him out…”
Gu Qingluan raised an eyebrow.
Although she claimed not to suspect them, her words implied otherwise.
Gu Qingluan looked at Gu Xiaonan and asked, “Did you see it?”
