Chapter 851: Urn
Tang Xinyang caught her man.
"We have to go ahead, guys. I will bring Jang Shin to our room. We really have fun today! Lu Jin, once again, welcome back!"
Lu Jin smiled gratefully, "Thank you. Please take care on your way."
A butler came forward to guide Tang Xinyang who princess carried Jang Shin in their assigned room.
The Lu mansion in City Z was just second to the Lu mansion in the capital in terms of length and appearance. There were plenty of rooms for the esteemed guests.
Bivia Chang who was drunk watched the two leave. She commented bitterly, "Ahh...I wished I could be princess-carried like that. Jang Shin is truly lucky."
Tang Yin who was hugging her guitar and have no energy to strum anymore commented sluggishly. "He is not lucky. He is one of the unlucky men."
Bivia Chang hiccuped. "No...a man who could get wasted like that with her girlfriend around is no good."
Linfeng could not help but defend Jang Shin for the first time. "He is not usually like that. Work is very exhausting for him in these past years. It is the first and probably the last time he would be this wild. And perhaps because Tang Xinyang is there that he is at ease to be this drunk."
A hangover would serve as a great lesson to Jang Shin. Knowing Jang Shin's cowardly attitude, he would never be drunk again after suffering from an extreme hangover.
Tang Yin nodded her head like a pecked chicken, "Jang Shin surprised me today too. But it's not that strange considering he has my sister as his girlfriend. How stressed he must be."
Bivia Chang: "..."
She spoke after a while. "It was me who is in the wrong..."
Lu Jin blinked his eyes. The alcohol in his system was making him sleepy. It was the first time he had drank so much alcohol at once. Although he was sober, it was hard to keep his eyes open.
"Brother...." A soft call sounded at his side.
Lu Yin Ze, who was red like a tomato, was half drunk. If he was not poisoned when he was a child, with Lu Yin Ze's originally weak body, he could not last this long in drinking.
The alcohol that magically gives courage was working on Lu Yin Ze.
"You are already drunk. You should rest inside." Lu Jin assisted Lu Yin Ze. He turned to the group who was still barely alive in the room.
"Thank you everyone for this party. I would thank you properly tomorrow. You guys should rest too. I will take my brother to his room."
Tang Yin waved her hand weakly, "Go...go...I am always left alone...How come I am single for twenty-six years?!"
Bivia patted her back with pity. Bivia's head was tilted to the side as she speak, "You....should...lower down...your standards in men."
Xiong Zhi who wasdrunk and was leaning on Linfeng's arms chuckled and nodded in agreement. Her Linfeng was the best and probably the only one in the world.
Guan Gu Ri, who was next to Tang Yin, patted her back in sympathy. "Don't worry, you are not alone."
Tang Yin just hugged her guitar in sorrow.
Lu Jin chuckled and assisted Lu Yin Ze back to his room.
They arrived at Lu Yin Ze's room. When Lu Jin was about to put Lu Yin Ze in the bed, the latter stopped him.
"Brother..."
Lu Jin turned to look at him. His brother had been calling him like he wanted to say something but he would halt his words in the middle as if he changed his mind.
This was truly frustrating. But Lu Jin was patient to his brother.
"Do you have something to say to me?"
"I...have something to give you." Lu Yin Ze then stood up after saying this.
He went to the corner of his room and brought back an urn.
Lu Jin froze.
Lu Yin Ze handed the urn to his brother. "After Ming Zhi Yi's execution, I ask for his body. This is...father's ashes."
Lu Jin slowly received the urn. The smooth and cold texture of the jar sent tremble in his heart.
He thought he would never be able to recover his father's remains. Although he was dying to know what happened to his father's body after the execution, he did not dare to ask for it.
Because how could a sinner like him give a proper burial to another sinner?
He already prepared himself to live as a sinner for the rest of his life. His feelings, his dreams, and wishes did not deserve to be answered.
"This...brother...how did you..." Lu Jin was lost for words.
To retrieve their father's body, Lu Yin Ze must have done this for him despite his brother's hate for their father.
Lu Yin Ze smiled at Lu Jin, "Brother, you don't have to consider my feelings in every decision you make. If you want it, then so be it.
"You must think that since I hated him, I would never even think of recovering his remains. Although I prefer his body to be fed to dogs, I also want to consider your feelings on this. That man, although he made both of us suffer, he was still a father to you. He has an important place in your heart."
"Yin Ze..."
"So I retrieve his remains for you. You can do whatever you want with it. You can build a tomb for him, give him a funeral rite or grieve for him."
Lu Jin felt the urn was heavy.
"Brother, I only want you to be happy and at peace."
Lu Jin lowered his head.
It would be a lie if he said he doesn't care about what happened to his father's remains. He betrayed his father and push him to his death. He did what was right, but his heart could not help but feel guilty.
He had no time to grieve for this bad father or send him off, he spent those three years reflecting and redeeming his sins.
In the dim lightning, Lu Jin's shoulder trembled.
There was a long time passed before he answered in a hoarse voice, "Then can I...say goodbye to him for one last time?"
Lu Yin Ze nodded. "Of course. I will arrange it for you."
