During the disaster, funerals were simplified out of necessity, and even the Song Family was not an exception. The funeral hall was set up for three days, and the room had already begun to have a smell that could not be covered up even by strong incense, thus the coffin was sent to Xingshan Temple early on.
Mrs. Lu was brought back in a stretcher, as she had collapsed on the road, utterly exhausted.
Song Ci went to Plum Garden to visit her. In just a few short days, Mrs. Lu had become noticeably thinner, and a few strands of grey had already appeared at her temples.
Song Ci was somewhat shocked. Although already in her early thirties, she hadn't yet reached forty, yet she already had grey hair. Wasn't it because of this matter distressing her?
Mrs. Lu showed no energy at all. Even when Song Ci arrived, she stared blankly at the top of the canopy, not even responding when Mama Zhou called her.
