Chapter 2169: Chapter 2170: Do You Want Everyone to Be Buried With You?

Everyone in the Dongfang family was driven to the grave of Dongfang Shu’s mother by Dongfang Shu herself, who naturally wasn’t going to stay at the Dongfang residence and left soon after.

As for Dongfang Mingkun, it was impossible for him not to go.

Though originally unwilling, Dongfang Mingkun became compliant after being dealt with by Ye Xunhuan.

Even Dongfang Jinbao, who had already been crippled by Dongfang Shu, was carried out by the people who brought him, and then taken to the grave!

Today, Dongfang Shu intended to settle everything.

Dongfang Shu’s mother was buried at the foot of the mountain—not too far, but not too close either.

Of course, the ancestral tomb of the Dongfang family wasn’t here; Dongfang Shu’s mother didn’t qualify to be buried in the family cemetery. She wasn’t even given a proper coffin when buried, merely wrapped in a sheet and buried in a hastily dug hole.

It was incredibly simple and shabby.

The closer she got to her mother’s grave, the faster Dongfang Shu’s heart raced uncontrollably.

It had been a long time since she last came to pay her respects to her mother because she had sworn at her mother’s grave that if she didn’t avenge her mother’s death in this lifetime, she would never return to Qingcheng Mountain.

Not returning to Qingcheng Mountain naturally meant she couldn’t pay her respects to her mother!

Finally, Dongfang Shu reached her mother’s grave, where many were already kneeling in front of a small mound of earth, repeatedly kowtowing and muttering under their breath.

The mound was small, surrounded by weeds. Although due to winter the weeds weren’t as lush as before, they completely covered the grave mound.

If one didn’t look carefully, it was hard to notice; surely no one would suspect a person was buried here, unaware that it was a grave mound.

Gazing at the grave mound overgrown with weeds, scenes from the past replayed in Dongfang Shu’s mind, causing her eyes to fill with tears that wouldn’t stop swirling.

When her mother died, she didn’t even have a coffin, and Dongfang Shu dared not speak up, knowing it was useless given her lack of influence. Furthermore, speaking up would invoke Wu Lanqin’s hatred, leaving her no choice but to watch her mother wrapped in a sheet and buried in a hole.

"Mom, I’ve returned, I’ve come to see you..."

As she spoke, tears slowly slipped from Dongfang Shu’s eyes.

Then, Dongfang Shu walked with heavy steps, one by one, towards the grave.

Each step seemed to drain enormous power from Dongfang Shu, making it harder for her to breathe, as if crossing oceans and continents, traversing centuries.

Finally, Dongfang Shu arrived at the grave, and collapsed on her knees: "Mom, Shu is unfilial; I haven’t visited you all these years..."

Tears fell like broken beads, incessantly streaming from Dongfang Shu’s eyes.

Instantly, Dongfang Shu became a figure soaked in tears.

In the next moment, Dongfang Shu hurriedly began clearing the weeds around the grave with her pale, jade-like hands.

Some hard weeds pierced her hands, causing blood to flow, yet Dongfang Shu felt no pain, determined to clear the weeds completely.

Watching Dongfang Shu’s nearly insane actions, the softest part of Ye Xunhuan’s heart seemed touched, resulting in a sharp pang.

Then, Ye Xunhuan inhaled deeply and stepped towards Dongfang Shu.

In an instant, Ye Xunhuan reached Dongfang Shu, crouching down to help clear the weeds from the grave.

Ye Xunhuan’s sudden action stunned Dongfang Shu, causing her to involuntarily cast her gaze upon him.

"Why, don’t you want me to clean my mother-in-law’s grave?" Ye Xunhuan forced a strained, bitter smile onto his face.

Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Dongfang Shu quickly nodded, then said, "Mom, he’s my boyfriend, named Ye Xunhuan. He’s very good to me. I have someone to rely on now; you don’t need to worry about me being bullied anymore..."

Ye Xunhuan inhaled deeply, looking at the grave and said, "Although I’ve never met you, you are great!"

"Mom, rest assured, as long as I’m here, I won’t let anyone bully Shu, unless I’m dead!" fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Ye Xunhuan called Dongfang Shu’s mother "Mom" and solemnly made his promise at her grave.

Though the promise was heavy, it was worth it for Ye Xunhuan to make.

Dongfang Shu looked at Ye Xunhuan with gratitude, saying nothing, but slowly clearing the weeds with Ye Xunhuan. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

"Mom, after today I’ll take you away from here. I’ll erect a memorial arch for you, and I’ll ensure your name appears on the Dongfang family’s genealogy..."

At this moment, Dongfang Shu appeared like a little girl nestled in her mother’s embrace, whispering secrets to her, while uncontrollable tears continued streaming from her eyes.

Finally, the weeds were all cleared away, and Ye Xunhuan slowly stood up, focusing on Dongfang Mingkun: "Dongfang Mingkun, will you kneel voluntarily, or shall I assist you?"

As he spoke, Ye Xunhuan’s gaze flashed intensely.

"What qualifies her to make me kneel..."

"I’ll show you what qualifies her now!"

With the words spoken, Ye Xunhuan darted forward, reaching Dongfang Mingkun in a flash and while doing so, swung a slap!

"Slap!"

A crisp sound echoed, Dongfang Mingkun fell to the ground, blood trickling from his mouth. Before he could rise, Ye Xunhuan broke one of Dongfang Mingkun’s legs and pinned him to the ground.

"Now, kneel properly for me; dare move a bit and someone dies from the Dongfang family!"

"You..."

Next moment, Ye Xunhuan raised his right hand, and a blinding flash appeared; a bloody head rolled to the ground, followed by a headless corpse falling into a pool of blood.

Seeing this, everyone shouted frantically: "Dongfang Mingkun, do you want to kill us?"

"Do you want us all buried with you?"

Everyone panicked; Ye Xunhuan’s ruthless nature of killing without a word instilled fear deep in their bones!

If Dongfang Mingkun dared to continue blabbering, no one knew whom Ye Xunhuan would kill next.
