The Xie family still hung white lanterns, but also hung red cloth. Like the Lin family, the Xie family didnt have many guests, except for their own family members and a few of Xie Yimengs classmates who came over.
Unlike ordinary weddings, Lin Jiang personally escorted Wan Jie to the Xie residence and carried her into the Xie residence. Mrs. Xie had already known about Wan Jies physical condition in advance and came out of the main hall to greet them. Seeing Lin Jiang carrying Wan Jie on his back, she couldnt help but let out a sigh of relief.
Xie Yans worries were put aside, and he smiled as he looked at Lin Jiang and Wan Jie.
Seeing that Wan Jie was already unstable, he also understood that Lin Jiangs intention was probably the same as Yangs, hoping that the two children would have a companion in the afterlife and enjoy the incense of later generations.
Lin Jiang gently put down Wan Jie and let the matchmaker and Lins aunt support her. Six-year-old Xie Shier held up Xie Ers memorial tablet and handed it over to Wan Jie.
Wans sister was trembling all over and could hardly stand upright, but she tightly hugged the memorial tablet.
Xie Yiyang pursed his lips and glanced at Xie Shier, then lowered his head to look at his toes. Xie Er was dead, he had married a wife, and by reason, he as the eldest brother should have taken his place in the wedding ceremony, but Yang Shi...
Xie Shier stepped forward with a tray, and everyone saw that nothing was wrong but still made a big deal out of it.
Mrs. Li subtly pulled her husbands sleeve, hinting that he should be cautious, now Yang was being aggressive and confrontational, if they still showed dissatisfaction, wouldnt it be handing him a ready-made excuse?
Wans sister didnt care what others thought, her heart was only on the memorial tablet in her hands, she tightly hugged the tablet and took two steps forward. Then, with Lins support, she slowly paid respects to Xie Yan and Yang Shi who were sitting above. The two of them responded in unison. Just as they were about to call someone to help her down because they feared her weak body couldnt withstand it, unexpectedly she turned around and knelt down to Lin Jiang who was sitting beside her.
Lin Jiang hurriedly stretched out his hand to support her, but Wan Jie had already bowed her head and said in a low voice: "Brother, Wan Jie is unfilial, I will apologize to our ancestors when I get underground."
Lin Jiang hastily pulled her up, but found that her palms were icy cold and didnt have any warmth at all. He couldnt help but feel a shock in his heart, half-embracing her as he looked towards Lin Qingyuan and Bai Weng who were hidden behind her.
The old man sighed and shook his head slightly, such a huge fluctuation in emotions was simply overdrafting life, coupled with todays exhaustion, she couldnt hold on for much longer.
Lin Jiang saw this and immediately bowed down to pick up Wan Jie, saying to Xie Yan and Yang Shi above: "The ceremony is over, Ill take her back now."
"Mr. Lin," Mrs. Xie hastily stood up and said: "Let her stay here, she is also the daughter-in-law of our Xie family now."
"Its all right, there is a famous doctor at home, maybe she can still be saved." After saying that, he hugged Ruan Jiaer and strode out in big steps.
Mrs. Xie hurriedly chased after her, and Xie Yan stopped her, saying: "Where are you going? Didnt we agree on this marriage before? She is to return to the clan and observe widowhood, and he wants to take her away, which is against heaven and earth."
Theyve already exchanged vows and wedding certificates, this marriage is as good as done. Looking at Ruans condition, she might not make it through the night. Forcing her to stay here isnt going to end well with Lin Jiang, is it?
Mrs. Xie pushed him away and scolded, "Do you think everyone is like you? Shes my daughter-in-law, shes sick, shouldnt I go see her?"
After saying that, he didnt care about the people in the mansion and took Yangs nurse to chase after Lin Jiang. A group of people returned to Lin Mansion with a big fanfare.
When Lin Jiang put Wan Jie on her bed, she was already breathing out more than in, with a pair of eyes full of confusion, staring blankly at everyone like a newborn baby.
Lin Daiyu looked at this and knew it was no good, covering her face with a handkerchief and crying, "Master, Ill go prepare now."
Lin Jiang didnt stop her, but instead looked at Wan Jie with a pair of reddened eyes.
Mrs. Xie also covered her mouth and leaned on Yangs shoulder, crying so hard that she couldnt speak, why did good children not live long?
Wan Jies gaze slowly fell on Lin Qingwan, Lin Qingwan with tears in her eyes took two steps forward and slowly squatted down in front of her bed.
"Wan Jie, I have a favor to ask of you," Lins sister said in a barely audible whisper.
"You said."
"Wait for me for a hundred years and let me be buried with Second Brother Xie, okay?"
Lin Qingwan nodded without thinking: "Good!"
Wans mouth curled up slightly, her eyes slowly closing, yet still gazing at Lin Jiang as if reluctant to part with him.
Lin Jiang was deeply grieved, and he held her in his arms, saying softly: "Good child, brother doesnt blame you, our ancestors wont blame you either. Its the elder brother who owes you an apology for not being able to give Xie Er a fair trial, making your heart feel stifled. You can rest assured that Lin Gongzhu will fulfill our entrustment."
Wans eyes finally slowly closed, her body slowly softened, Lin Jiangs fingers trembled to feel her pulse, feeling it from slow and weak to completely disappear. He couldnt help but hold her and burst into tears.
Yang leaned against Yangs body and heard the crying sound, hastily stepped forward two steps, but could only see Lin Jiangs back, "Wan sister, Wan sister how is she?"
Lin Jiang suppressed his pain and got up with a calm face: "Shes fine, just temporarily fainted. Someone, go get Dr. Xu, Mrs. Xie, I need to give Wan a medicine, please wait outside first."
Not only Yang, but Lin Jiang also drove others away.
Because only he was in front of the bed, no one found out that Wan Jie had already died, so everyone thought Lin Jiang was grieving too much and they all followed his intention to leave.
Mrs. Xie understood and at this time, the siblings might have some private words to say, so she didnt want to disturb them and got up to leave.
But what needs to be done must still be done. Mrs. Xie said to Lin Mama, "The funeral clothes and coffin, etc., should all be prepared. Send someone here to listen carefully. If... it cant be delayed, we must help Wan change into her burial clothes so she can leave with dignity."
Mrs. Xie said up to here and thought of her son, Er Lang was carried back when he had become unrecognizable, his whole body covered in blood...
In the room, Lin Jiang was holding Wan Jies hand and crying softly, while Wan Jies soul was drifting out of her body with a wooden expression...
Bai Weng sighed and beckoned with his hand, pressing down the soul of Wan Jieer, while his right hand patted Lin Qingyuans back.
Lin Qingwan only felt a surge of force on her back, and she involuntarily fell onto the bed towards Wanyan, before entering Wanyans body, she just had time to see Lin Jiangs whole body emitting dazzling golden light, the golden light instantly enveloped her, and then it was endless pain...
Her soul was as if it had been crushed inch by inch, she involuntarily let out a scream, but found that she couldnt even make a sound. She clearly felt her soul being torn apart and then pieced back together bit by bit, stuffed into the body of Wan Jieer, under the golden light, slowly merging with this body.
But the feeling was not good, Lin Qingyan felt a little dazed, feeling the souls lingering and endless tearing pain, for an instant her spirit was a bit dizzy, wanting to follow that painful intention to fall asleep, waiting to sleep would not feel the pain anymore?
She thought of Lin Jiang and Bai Wengs words, and she couldnt help but stick to her heart, gritting her teeth and persisting.
Just hold on a little longer, just bear it for a while longer, the pain will pass. Think of Grandpa, hes still waiting for her in the hospital.
If she fails at this step of borrowing a corpse to return her soul, how much more painful will it be for Lin Jiang to give her another chance when she returns to her original body?
If she couldnt hold on, then her corpse would be found the next day.
From the time her grandfather was hospitalized until now, she had only appeared once, and since her relationship with them was so bad, she could hardly imagine how heartbroken her grandfather would be when he learned of her death.
Has he not experienced enough of lifes farewells and partings, must he still endure the pain of an old man sending off a young one before his own demise?
She promised Lin Jiang to come to this world, wasnt it just so that she could live until after her grandfathers death and not let him experience the pain of parting again?
Lin Qings heart burst out with a strong desire, the originally relaxed atrium suddenly solidified, the golden light that had been covering her body had dissipated, but now slowly condensed again, seeping into her soul bit by bit, and then escaping from her soul, merging into Lin Qings body, and finally dissipating into the void bit by bit.
This is the merit gold light cut from Lin Jiang, and it is also the accumulation of the Lin family for hundreds of years. After these merit gold lights merged with Lin Qingwans soul and Wanyues body, they slowly fell to the underworld, exchanging a pass that allowed Lin Qingwan to stay in this interval.
The ghostly envoys from the underworld originally came to fetch souls, but upon seeing these meritorious primordials, they couldnt help but exchange a glance, and instead of approaching, they beckoned to Yuwens soul from afar. As for Lin Qingyu, who was slowly merging with Yuwens body, they turned a blind eye.
Forget it, judging from the others soul purity, they dont seem to be a bad person. The main thing is that they are a living soul, and the underworld has no right to take her in. As for borrowing a corpse to return to life, cough, the soul is a living soul, and as for the corpse, that also belongs to someone else, and they have the right to handle it.
Yan Wang Ye has accepted everyones benefits, what can they do? They are also very desperate!
The oni quietly took away the soul of Wenyue, and then bowed to Bai Weng and Lin Jiang from a distance before retreating. These two were not people who could be offended.
Lin Jiang caught up with them in two steps, cupped his hands and said: "Please, esteemed sirs, put in a good word for my sister when you see King Yan, so she can have a better rebirth next time."
Bai Weng coughed lightly and Lin Jiang immediately took out a stack of paper money from the nearby cabinet, burning it respectfully for the two ghostly envoys.
The two ghosts flashed a bright light in their eyes, stroking their chin and smiling: "Immortal guest is too polite, your rebirthed Lin familys hundred years of merit, plus your younger sister has been doing good deeds and accumulating virtues in recent years, and never does evil, next life will definitely not be reborn poorly, at that time we two will take care of her for a few words, she will definitely be able to get a good fetus with all four sides complete."
Lin Jiang let out a sigh of relief, the difference between a good and bad birth was huge. Lin Jiang expressed his gratitude and promised to reward them with another gift later. With great respect, he sent off the two ghostly messengers.
At this time, Lin Qingyan on the bed also slowly calmed down, her chest began to rise and fall slowly, and her eyebrows, which were originally furrowed together, slowly relaxed...
Bai Weng stroked his beard and smiled, nodding in satisfaction: "This Lin girl is indeed a person of great willpower, she actually made it through. Congratulations, Upper Immortal, Lin girl has already merged with the young ladys body."
Lin Jiang let out a sigh of relief, and only then did he feel the fatigue, propping himself up against the table as he slowly sat down in his chair.
Watching his sister slowly regain her breath, Lin Jiang couldnt help but ask in a low voice, "Will Dr. Xu be suspicious after he arrives?"
"Master, rest assured. Misss body is still very weak at this time, and the doctor also saw that she had an early death appearance, so no one will suspect anything. Later, just let Lin girl show a look of wanting to get through the difficulties and it will be fine. Such things are not uncommon in the world, and no one will suspect anything."
Lin Jiang nodded slightly.
