Chapter 271 The Cuckoo Cries Blood
Liuyao had been kneeling beside her. When Zhao Fangyun was completely lifeless, he rushed over and tightly grasped Zhao Fangyun's hand that was hanging on the quilt, and wailed heartbreakingly: "Girl!!!"
Zhao Fangyun was very kind to the maids around her. In her early years, they were favored in the courtyard. Everyone knew that she liked gold, silver and jewelry, and most of the gifts given to her were gold.
Later, everyone discovered that each of Zhao Fangyun's maids held two pure gold rewards in their hands.
She has always been extremely generous to the people she likes.
Because Liuyao was of similar age to Zhao Fangyun in recent years, Zhao Fangyun also favored her a little more. As for the remaining three older ones, she treated them like sisters and took care of them all.
Whenever Zhao Fangyun had a piece of new fabric, he would give them a new pair of shoes. Whenever Zhao Fangyun had a new piece of jewelry, he would pick out some small ones from the old ones to give to them. Whenever Zhao Fangyun wanted to eat something, he would go to the big kitchen and buy two or three portions. He would eat one portion himself and share the rest with the maids.
The least promising person in the Zhao family is Zhao Fangyun, but the courtyard that the maids want to go to the most is also Zhao Fangyun's.
For the maids, such a master is the best master in the world.
Now that Zhao Fangyun is gone, Liuyao feels as if half of his soul has gone with him.
Several sisters left one after another, and now even the girl is gone. Liu Yao was bought in the first place, and now she feels that the world is too big and there is nowhere for her to stay. For a moment, she even wanted to follow Zhao Fangyun.
The next moment, Zhao Fangyu brought the crying Baojie to her.
"We need to hurry up and deal with the Fifth Miss's matter. All the girls in my courtyard have never given birth, and you are the only one who is familiar with Baojie'er's temperament. You should take care of her these days."
Bao Jie'er was obviously familiar with the smell of Liuyao. When she was in Liuyao's arms, her crying became a little quieter, no longer as sharp as a long knife scraping against rock. She whimpered and sobbed while rubbing against Liuyao's arms.
Zhao Fangyu couldn't tell which child looked like which before, but now that they have grown up, he can tell.
Bao Jie'er's mouth is almost exactly the same as Zhao Fangyun's when he was a child, especially when she holds her mouth and cries aggrievedly, it's even more... exactly the same.
Liuyao took Baojieer in a daze. Her eyes were reminded of Baojieer's appearance. She couldn't help but cry again. Her heart seemed to be placed on a nail board and rubbed and rolled back and forth, and not even a drop of blood could be squeezed out.
Seeing that Liuyao had not yet come to his senses, Zhao Fangyu quickly pulled him behind him.
The old lady of the Song family had already received the news, but Zhao Fangyu's black-armored guards blocked her outside the door. When she saw Zhao Fangyu coming out to take charge of the situation, she immediately trembled and was about to kneel down.
Zhao Fangyu asked people to tidy up the yard, and also asked Zhao Fangyun to tidy up his appearance.
After she came to the Song family, she never made any good clothes. The last thing she wore was a dress with azalea and pomegranate flowers made for her by Aunt Song at the Song family.
When Concubine Song saw Zhao Fangyu sitting in the yard, she immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Zhao Fangyu: "Thank you... Princess Princess for taking care of Yun'er!"
Aunt Song did not blame Zhao Fangyun. She was grateful to Zhao Fangyun. She just didn't expect that her daughter had escaped, but would eventually die in this den of tigers and wolves.
"Aunt, please go in and see Xiaowu for the last time."
Zhao Fangyu's tone was heavy. The eldest lady pulled Zhao Fangyu's hand over and touched it. It was indeed not as warm as hers. She could not help but hug her to her arms and whispered in her ear: "Good child, you have done well enough."
The eldest lady knew that Zhao Fangyu was kind-hearted, and it was Zhao Fangyu who sent Zhao Fangyun off on her final journey.
Not to mention Aunt Song, even the eldest lady felt uncomfortable after hearing it.
"I am to blame for this. I was too careless."
A gust of wind blew, and the eldest lady couldn't help but cough a few times in the wind. Zhao Fangyu hurriedly helped the eldest lady sit down.
Aunt Song brought the clothes she had made herself and helped Zhao Fangyun change his clothes.
Zhuang Shengxiao dreams of a butterfly, and Wang Dichun cares for the cuckoo.
This is the poem that Zhao Minshan liked to recite when he was in love. Aunt Song didn't understand poetry, but she knew that azaleas were beautiful.
She likes azaleas, and because of her love for the azaleas, she also likes the cuckoo, which appears in pairs with the azaleas. But now she suddenly remembered a saying: the cuckoo cries blood.
When the cuckoo sings most cheerfully, the azalea flowers are at their most beautiful.
Just like the little girls she raised, one of them died in her infancy when the azalea flowers bloomed. After finally keeping one alive, the other had to leave wearing a rhododendron dress.
Aunt Song suddenly hated herself, and even thought absurdly that it was because she liked azaleas that God coincidentally used azaleas to take her two little daughters away.
Zhao Fangyun had never had a good life in the Song family. She liked pomegranate flowers, but she was not as tough as them. The Song family's land was barren and there was not a single nutrient in the soil, so she could not support such a good girl.
Her daughter was killed here.
Aunt Song looked at the simple house that looked like a snow cave. This house was not even half as good as Zhao Fangyun's residence in the Song family!
This was her clan's, the good place her father had always said countless daughters out there wanted to marry into.
Aunt Song suddenly began to doubt her father. Why did her family members frequently mention Song Yuan in their letters? Why... She was bewitched and believed them, and ultimately ruined her daughter's life.
Zhao Fangyun was very thin, so she made clothes according to Zhao Fangyun's size when she was a girl, thinking that by the time the clothes were finished, she would be a grandmother.
Who would have known that the first new dress she wore to congratulate her daughter on becoming a mother would turn into a mourning dress for her daughter's burial.
Aunt Song had endless resentment in her heart. She hated her parents who suddenly reminded her to make plans for their daughter, she hated Zhao Minshan who insisted on sending Zhao Fangyun back to the Song family, who despised her daughter's pregnancy and divorced her, and who insulted the Zhao family, and she hated the Song family even more for draining her daughter's blood and causing her to die young.
She wished she could burn this place down and let the entire Song family go to hell with her daughter.
But when she saw the gold and jade bracelet on Zhao Fangyun's wrist that was too thin to hang, she couldn't help crying out loud.
The bracelet was broken by Zhao Fangjin after his last quarrel with Aunt Song. Unexpectedly, it was picked up by Zhao Fangyun, who re-inlaid it with gold.
It was precisely because this bracelet was worthless that it was preserved and became one of the few last thoughts that stayed with Zhao Fangyun.
Aunt Song cried all the way and changed Zhao Fangyun's clothes.
What she was thinking at this moment was, if she also died early like Aunt Qian, and sent the two maids to the eldest lady's courtyard, would her girls not have such a miserable life?
The eldest lady is smarter than her and is better at raising children than her. If Zhao Fangyun and Zhao Fangjin could be born under the eldest lady's name, probably these two children would not be in such a mess as they are today.
Aunt Song fetched some water, washed Zhao Fangyun's hair, carefully dried and dried her hair, and finally combed her daughter's hair into a beautiful bun.
This was her favorite when she was in the boudoir. Although it was not reasonable, she thought that Fang Yun did not want to be buried as a member of the Song family.
Zhao Fangyu and the eldest lady did not come in. They stood outside the door and watched. Their eyes became moist and they looked at the old lady who was still kneeling outside.
"Haven't you found Song Yuan yet?"
