Chapter 728: Chapter 729: The Final Request
But Tang Yuyan, anxious in her heart, blurted out these words.
Of course, she was desperately trying to protect her daughter.
He looked at his wife and signaled her not to overthink, “No one wants Weiwei to pay with her life, so stop imagining things.”
Looking at her husband, Tang Yuyan’s gaze then shifted to Nangong He.
She also knew that compared to Feifei, the old master was definitely more affectionate towards Feifei, and since Weiwei had only recently acknowledged her ancestors, she wasn’t sure if the old master really wanted Weiwei to give her life.
Nangong He had actually never thought about it this way.
The death of his granddaughter was certainly painful for him, but he also knew that the death of Feifei was brought upon by her own actions.
He wiped the tears from his eyes, looked up at Gu Qiangwei, “Weiwei, I know you’re also suffering. On one hand, you hate Feifei, and on the other, you care about your father’s and my feelings. I know her end today was caused by her own actions, and I don’t blame you. After all, if she hadn’t died, you would have.”, but then he paused, eyes still moist, looking at Gu Qiangwei, “Grandpa only has one last request.”
“What is it?”
“It’s about Feifei’s body, where is it now?”
Given the marks on her neck, it was clear what she had endured previously. With Qin Sijue’s rage, he might deny Feifei a burial place! Now, his only wish was to be able to bring her back to the Nangong Family and bury her in the ancestral tomb.
Gu Qiangwei looked up, appearing to understand why Nangong He had asked this question.
Feifei’s body should be in the backyard now.
Because she had heard Qin Sijue say he wanted to offer it to the Cat Emperor as dinner.
As she was thinking, the door was pushed open.
Everyone unconsciously turned their heads to see Qin Sijue entering the room.
Upon entering, he caught Gu Qiangwei’s gaze and frowned slightly before walking towards the European-style bed.
“What’s wrong?” he asked as his tall, upright figure sat down by the bed.
Gu Qiangwei stared at him, “Where is Nangong Feifei?”
The moment she spoke, Qin Sijue’s gaze naturally shifted to Nangong He.
His voice deepened, “What are you doing?”
Gu Qiangwei hesitated for a few seconds, remembering his anger when he mentioned offering it to the Cat Emperor.
“Don’t offer it to the Cat Emperor.”
“Why not?”
“I’m scared.” This wasn’t a lie.
If the lion truly consumed Nangong Feifei, it would make her feel as if Feifei’s spirit continued to linger in this villa unresolved.
“So?” he asked directly.
“Let grandpa take her back, that way, I can find some peace too.”
Meanwhile, Nangong He and Nangong Mingchuan and others were completely confused, having no idea what Gu Qiangwei meant by the ‘Cat Emperor’.
But what did “offer” mean? Could a deceased person even be offered as a prize to someone else?
Looking at her, Qin Sijue fell into thought.
Gu Qiangwei, fearing he wouldn’t agree, spoke again, “She’s already dead, she poses no threat to me anymore!”
She didn’t regret Nangong Feifei’s death at all; what truly saddened her was her grandfather’s and father’s grief, and bringing back the body was the last thing she could manage to do.
Eventually, Qin Sijue sighed softly, “Do whatever you think is best.”
Hearing this certainly meant he agreed; Nangong He in particular visibly relaxed.
But Qin Sijue didn’t bother with the Nangong family’s reactions. His heart and eyes were only on Gu Qiangwei, “How is it now? Does it still hurt after applying the medicine?”
