Chapter 1234: Chapter 1234: Pitifully Delicate

"Grandfather is doing this naturally for his own reasons."

"Then explain to Qinger why this is happening?"

"There are things you shouldn’t know, so don’t ask."

"But... she is our mother. Why shouldn’t we ask? Grandfather, that day you clearly told us to keep our mother’s body to deal with that little cheap person Xuexue. But now, your actions make us deeply disappointed. Mother is your own daughter, yet you burned her corpse, doesn’t this cause her soul to scatter? Grandfather, how cruel-hearted you are!"

Situ Qinger was very angry, her voice even more aggressive.

Prince Pu silently burned Auntie Tang’s corpse. Regarding this matter, Situ Qinger and her three siblings were very upset. Despite everything, Auntie Tang was still their mother.

In this era, the handling of relatives’ bodies is taken very seriously; cremation is absolutely not allowed. They believe burning the body causes the soul to scatter, which is very cruel to the deceased.

Only when there is a severe infectious disease and no other choice will such a decision be made.

The family of Prince Pu nearly lost their lives.

The already impoverished small treasury was further drained by the wandering fortune-teller, losing several ten thousand taels of silver.

Forced by necessity, the daughter’s body had to be burned as well.

Under various setbacks, Prince Pu’s heart was very agitated. After hearing his granddaughter’s questioning, the veins on his neck bulged, his head deafened with a buzz, and he could no longer control his emotions. He slammed the table, roaring loudly: "My actions are not for you juniors to criticize. Truly disrespectful and shameless!"

Prince Pu had never scolded them so loudly since childhood.

Now, with their mother just deceased, grandfather turns away without regard for them.

Situ Yu felt a bit scared, she timidly reached out and tugged Situ Qinger’s sleeve, whispering: "Second sister, our mother just passed away. We only have grandfather and them left, don’t make him angry."

Situ Dieer also whispered: "That’s right! Second sister, if we offend grandfather any further, we siblings will have no one to rely on."

Originally intending to retreat, Situ Qinger, upon seeing both sisters timid and hesitant, a sense of protectiveness arose within her. She immediately raised her head high, addressing Prince Pu: "Grandfather, you burned mother’s corpse without notifying us. Why are you shouting at us?"

"Rebellion, rebellion, you... you..."

The usually obedient granddaughter was now relentless, infuriating Prince Pu.

Princess Consort Pu and Tang Jinghao knew Situ Qinger and her siblings came to Prince Pu’s Mansion regarding Auntie Tang’s body.

While having a discussion in the study with Prince Pu, fearing the grandchildren and grandfather would become estranged, they hurriedly rushed over.

Tang Jinghao, just having experienced life and death, still maintained a carefree demeanor, circling several times around the furious Situ Qinger, teasing her: "Oh dear! Qinger, a period of time without seeing you, and you’ve grown prettier."

Tang Jinghao’s image outside was not good; not only did he spend money liberally but he was also known for his promiscuity, being a frequent attendee of brothels big and small. However, towards his niece Situ Qinger he remained fond.

Furthermore, Auntie Tang did not hesitate to sell the shop from the General’s Mansion to bring silver for supporting Prince Pu’s Mansion. Tang Jinghao, her real brother, naturally felt grateful.

Situ Qinger was his sister’s daughter; perhaps being flesh and blood connected, Tang Jinghao genuinely liked them siblings.

"Uncle."

Situ Qinger called out, her eyes brimming with tears, looking very pitiful.
