Chapter 712: A silent funeral
Second Aunt Yu still want to say something but then she saw the gazes of the people who were looking at her with contempt as if wondering what the hell was wrong with her and then lowered her hair as her cheeks flushed with shame. What the hell? Why were they looking at her like that? It was not her fault that Yu Dong lost her child, from the beginning it was her fault for not taking proper care of her mer and allowing him to intake something poisonous, why was she being looked at like that?" You don\'t have to——" Yu Dong felt slightly overwhelmed when she heard the kind words of Magistrate Li. She has always thought that the Magistrate was a woman who was cold and apathetic with that blank face of hers but turns out that she was a caring woman as well, it\'s just that she hardly showed any emotions.
" I insist." Magistrate Li curled Yu Dong\'s fingers as the latter tried to return the hairpin back to her and then said with a sympathetic smile, " I have received everything that I could in this life and no longer need it anymore, do bury it with your daughter and if this hairpin comes to be of any use to you then I will be grateful for doing a good deed."
Yu Dong no longer refused when she saw how insistent Magistrate Li was, in fact, she could feel spiritual energy from the hairpin. It was simply divine to touch and when she heard Magistrate Li\'s words she could not help but hope that maybe this divine spiritual energy might really make her wish come true.
She could not help but be grateful to Magistrate Li for handing something so magical and precious to her.
" Thank you for your condolences, Magistrate Li. If there is anything that you would like me to do for you please do tell me," Yu Dong was going to remember this small favour that Magistrate Li did for her. It did not matter whether her daughter returned or not but it was Magistrate Li\'s good intentions that made her feel really touched.
" I will," Magistrate Li did not deny since she knew that she will be putting a hold on Yu Dong\'s plan of moving from this small village to the capital because of her plans.
Marquis Qiao looked at Magistrate Li who handled the situation pretty well and then scratched the back of her head, now she felt like if she did not hand Yu Dong something as good as her friend then she will be too ashamed to call the latter her acquaintance. Fortunately, she was carrying just the thing with her.
" Take this to, Yu Dong," Marquis Qiao handed Yu Dong what looked like a pendant. " I was given this by her majesty the Empress, she said that this was a divine protection pendant when I first went to the battlefield. I no longer need it since I have retired from the position of the great general and handed it to someone else in the capital. This pendant will guide your daughter in the underworld and help her on the road of reincarnation."
She paused and then added with a cheeky smile, " Who knows maybe your daughter might return someday."
Yu Dong smiled and thanked Qiao Sha for her kind words as well but she did not invite the two of them to her home, her daughter\'s body was still there and they needed to prepare for the funeral since the child was already gone there no way she could keep the body of her daughter out for a long time even with spiritual energy.
Magistrate Li and Marquis Qiao did not overstay their welcome either, they came here to talk about appointing Yu Dong as the village head but there was no point in announcing such a piece of good news on the same day when Yu Dong lost her child. No matter how much hurry they were in to handle the matter of the capital and create a safe place for themselves, they could not ignore the tact of being basic humans.
The villagers went to send Magistrate Li and Marquis Qiao off while Yu Dong went back to her home with her husbands, they needed to prepare for a funeral in a hurry since neither of them expected something like this to happen.
Watching Yu Dong leave without coming to send the two big shots off, Old man Tong remarked sourly, " She really thinks she is something now that Magistrate Li and Marquis Qiao handed some good things to her, humph. They were just being kind, does she thinks she is all that just because of that and no longer needs to exercise basic human decency?"
" You are the one who needs to exercise basic human decency!" Aunt Wang who was walking just a few paces ahead of Old man Tong heard his words and turned to look at him with a furious glare. " Yu Dong lost her child, even the big officials know how to show respect for the loss of a child. Even though they came here because they wanted to talk to Yu Dong about something they returned since they understood the gravity of the situation why are you running your mouth like that?"
Uncle Fu placed his hand on his wife\'s arm trying to placate her while Chu Cheng who was carrying his son in his arms sneered, " He must be jealous because the two officials talked with Yu Dong but not to his daughter isn\'t that right?"
" You what do you even know, you abandoned mer?" Old Man Tong screeched truly unhappy since what Chu Cheng said was the truth, he was unhappy because Marquis Qiao showed Yu Dong so much face by handing her the gift handed to her by her majesty but not even looking at his daughter.
