Chapter 453: Sacrifice

Fang Tong was actually just to come and see the old lady, nothing else.

It may be that the guilt for Meng Chengbing fell on the old lady, she thought that if it were not for her and Luo Heyang, the old lady Meng would definitely be able to see her son, and her son would be sent to the end, not like now.

She understood the old lady's hatred for her, so she never retorted and quarreled with her.

But I didn't expect it to go so suddenly.

Fang Tong followed until five o'clock, the sky was gradually getting brighter, she thought she would need to go back, but Meng Yi said to her: "If you are sleepy, go to the back house to rest." ”

After hearing this, Fang Tong looked up at him: "Won't I go back to the hotel?" ”

Meng Yi said, "Do you want to go back to the hotel?" ”

Fang Tong didn't speak.

Meng Yi said: "There is one day today, since you are here, you will keep watch, go ahead and take a look, isn't there your name on it." ”

Fang Tong looked up, she only found out now that the obituary really had her own name on it, she looked at it for a long time, and then looked at Meng Yi.

Meng Yi's eyes were a little mocking, and then he looked at her: "Since the old lady wants you to send it so much, just do what she wants." ”

Fang Tong bit her lip, she didn't expect that the old lady would not accept her until she died.

By the end of the wake at six o'clock, there were more people in the Meng family's ancestral house one after another, it was completely different from the night, Meng Yi needed to entertain guests, Fang Tong stood behind him, not far from him, she changed her clothes when she came, and she changed into black clothes, so it was not abrupt to stand in the family area. But everyone who came in would look at her.

After all, there was no her existence yesterday and the day before yesterday, probably guessing who she was.

Fang Tong just stood there, standing silently with red eyes.

At eight o'clock, Codin came out and saw her.

This is Fang Tong and Ke Ling since the last time they met from afar, they met again, this time it was face-to-face, she saw her, just as if she didn't see it, she left in front of her very arrogantly, when she came to the Meng family before, she was the most favored in the Meng family, and now, Fang Tong only stood there with his head down.

The waves she thought it would cause didn't happen, everyone seemed to have their own things to do, everyone had their own responsibilities, and no one paid attention to them at all.

Fang Tong is more fortunate that the black cashmere skirt she is wearing today covers her stomach, although the top is cinched in the waist, but the waist part is a pleated lotus leaf with a covering effect, and she is fleshy and slender, so it is good to cover it a little, it is not so obvious, I have never seen it, I will only think it is normal.

So it's not too obtrusive.

On the way, an old man came to talk, and when he saw her standing in the family area, he asked her who she was, and this old man might be from the town, so he asked again: "Is it the stepdaughter of the Meng family?" ”

The old man was very old, leaning over, and still speaking the local accent of the Jiangnan generation.

Fang Tong heard it clearly, opened his mouth and swallowed, saying yes.

Sure enough, they were all guessing her identity, and it didn't take long for the secretary to come over and ask, "Are you going to rest for a while?" ”

Fang Tong shook her head at the secretary, in fact, she thought it was okay.

At noon, the sacrificial text had to be recited here, and at this time, all the family members had to return to the mourning hall, that is, everyone in the Meng family was there, and Fang Tong found that the Meng family still had a lot of relatives, all of whom were old ladies, and Fang Tong didn't know them.

Fang Tong finally stood beside Meng Yi, and Meng Yi needed to stand at the front, everyone lowered their heads silently, listening to the sacrifice quietly, and some people wept.

Ke Ling stood on the other side, Fang Tong was closest to Meng Yi, and Ke Ling didn't have much expression on his face, standing there in black clothes.

Fang Tong knew that she was standing here as the stepdaughter of the Meng family, and she didn't make any sound the whole time, and kept her head down the whole time beside Meng Yi.

At this time, the mourning hall was silent, with an inexplicable sadness.

I don't know how long this lasted, Fang Tong didn't estimate the time, when the people who recited the sacrifice finally stopped, everyone gradually dispersed, and the family members went to the back to rest, waiting for everyone to disperse.

Fang Tong didn't know where to go, he was standing there with red eyes and a little stunned, Meng Yi suddenly reached out and held her hand and took her away.

The arc of the action was not very large, because the two were already close to each other, so the hand hanging down by his side was just slightly stretched, and Fang Tong's hand was held by him.

Fang Tong's first reaction was to pay attention to the surroundings, as if no one was looking at them at all, and some of the people who were pressed by the black pressure dispersed and left.

After Fang Tong was held by him, he lowered his head and left after him.

Meng Yi took her around the mourning hall and walked her past in front of many people.

The guests who came up to mourn in the mourning hall would look sideways a few times, after all, Meng Yi's identity was there, which was already eye-catching, but fortunately, it was only a sideways glance, and it would be accepted.

Fang Tong could only follow behind him all the time, because she didn't know where she had to go or what she was doing.

Even she didn't know where he was taking her now, she just kept her head down and followed him without saying a word.
