Chapter 211
When Crystal followed Bonnie back to the house of the White family, she was still a little confused.
Bonnie didn’t make things difficult for her. She only said that Harold would be buried tonight. As his wife, she had to be present. Crystal had no reason to refuse and agreed to go back to the White family’s old manor with her.
Crystal had thought that Bonnie would cause trouble, but Bonnie didn’t say anything else along the way, as if Crystal wasn’t present.
The house of the White family was still painted white, and there were white banners everywhere. The servants looked sad, and Crystal didn’t know if they were really sad about Harold’s death.
Crystal was taken to put on mourning and returned to the mourning hall she was familiar with.
Harold’s portrait was still placed on the altar. Crystal glanced at it and kneeled down on the futon.
The servants set the nail on the coffin.
Even though she knew that Harold was still alive and that there were only a few pieces of clothing in the coffin, Crystal still felt uncomfortable.
People in Fairby all said that Bonnie doted on Harold, so she still let her grandson get married after he passed away. However, Crystal didn’t see any affection between them. The reason why Bonnie insisted on letting Harold get married was definitely not because of her love for her grandson. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
As she was thinking about it, Kimberly suddenly scolded, “Hurry up and pay your respects!”
Crystal came back to her senses and bowed three times to the altar. Then, she got up and walked to the front with the portrait in her arms.
The White family sent Harold’s spirit away with prestige. The procession was very long. Crystal was followed by the people who were holding banners and carrying coffins. There were also people who were spreading paper money. It was the most old-fashioned funeral.
Behind them were all the relatives of the White family. All of them cried bitterly. Those who didn’t know the truth might think that they had a good relationship with Harold, but in fact, they might not even have seen Harold.
Crystal looked exceptionally cold among the bunch of crying relatives who were out of breath. Not only did she not cry, but there was no sad expression on her face.
Kimberly said, “That’s outrageous! I’ll
go…”
“There’s no need,” Bonnie said coldly. “She won’t be arrogant for long.”
Kimberly thought of something and said, “That’s true.”
The White family had their own ancestral grave, which was not far from the old manor. About half an hour later, they reached the ancestral grave. The White family’s ancestors were all buried in this cemetery.
Crystal stood at the edge of the dug pit, holding the portrait of Harold in her hand. The man in the black and white portrait looked indifferent as if he was looking at all this with ridicule.
Someone sprinkled the grains in the pit, and a few Taoist priests were singing something unknown at the side. Then the coffin was put in.
The relatives of the White family scattered a handful of soil into the pit, and Crystal was the last one.
She put the portrait aside, bent down to scoop up the soil, and put it on the crown of the coffin. The coffin was placed very deep in. Crystal had heard from the elders that it was good for the younger generation if the coffin was placed a little deeper. She thought that Harold didn’t have any descendants, so she didn’t know who would benefit from it.
As soon as this thought came to her mind, she suddenly heard Bonnie shout coldly, “Push her down!” Crystal was stunned and didn’t even realize what Bonnie meant. Suddenly, someone gave her a heavy push. Crystal stood by the edge of the pit and with that push, she fell into the pit.
Bonnie looked down at Crystal from above. Her wrinkled face was filled with indifference. “Since you’ve married Harold, of course you have to be buried with him.”
