Chapter 648 Grandfather is Gone

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, suddenly hitting Lu Yan's head, making her dizzy for a moment. After she came to her senses, she did not even bother to ask for leave from Queen Shi, and quickly turned around and ran out of the palace.

Along the way, Lu Yan kept urging the coachman to go faster. When they arrived at the gate of Lu's house, she almost jumped off the carriage and ran all the way to Master Lu's yard.

Lu Yan was running so hard that she was having difficulty breathing and her hair was messy, but she didn't care about that at the moment. She just wanted to see Master Lu as soon as possible to see what was going on.

The moment she stepped into Master Lu's courtyard, she almost tripped over the threshold and fell. Fortunately, the maid guarding the courtyard was quick to support her.

"Miss, be careful."

"How is grandpa?" Lu Yan asked, grabbing the maid's arm.

"My lady, the master is talking to the Grand Tutor in the room, and asked the servants to come out."

After listening to the maid's words, Lu Yan quickly looked towards the room again.

The room was quiet and no crying was heard. Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked into the room.

Lu Wenshi was standing beside Grand Tutor Lu's bed. Hearing footsteps behind him, he turned his head and met his daughter's gaze. His lips moved slightly, but he couldn't say anything.

"What happened to grandpa? Did it suddenly become serious?" Lu Yan asked as she walked to the bedside.

"Yan'er, your grandfather has passed away."

Lu Wenshi's words startled Lu Yan, and her feet froze in place. She looked at Lu Wenshi in disbelief and spoke almost instinctively.

"Father, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Yan'er, I know that you and your grandfather have a deep relationship, but he is old and ill after all. Now..."

"Impossible!" Lu Yan interrupted Lu Wenshi and rushed to the bed.

On the bed, Grand Tutor Lu closed his eyes, his face was abnormally pale, and the wrinkles on his face caused by age seemed to have smoothed out a lot at this moment.

Most importantly, he looked like he wasn't breathing.

Lu Yan stretched out her hand in disbelief to feel Master Lu's breath. The next moment, she felt dazed, staggered, and fell to the side of the bed.

"Yan'er..."

Lu Wenshi reached out to support his daughter, but was pushed away by Lu Yan.

"My grandfather was fine before I entered the palace today. How could he suddenly pass away? What on earth is going on?"

"You know your grandfather's condition very well. The doctor said that he had lost his appetite and was too worried, which completely damaged his foundation."

"It can't be so fast. Grandfather clearly promised me yesterday that he would try to eat more and not let me worry. He clearly promised me yesterday!" Lu Yan's voice was choked with sobs. She almost used all her strength to say the next few words.

Everything was normal when I went out today. It was less than half a day. How could he leave so suddenly?

Lu Yan felt as if her heart was being stabbed by countless needles. In addition to the intense pain, she also felt extremely panicked and helpless.

This feeling reminded her of when she was a child and accidentally fell into the lake in the back garden because of playing. The feeling of suffocation at this moment seemed exactly the same as then, making her feel as if her whole body was wrapped in something, making it extremely difficult for her to speak or even breathe.

Lu Wenshi frowned and looked at his daughter. "Life and death are unpredictable. Who can say for sure about such things? Your grandfather is gone, which is also a relief."

These calm and somewhat cold words made Lu Yan look up in a daze.

"Father, Grandfather is gone."

"Yan'er..."

"Father, Grandfather is gone!" Lu Yan spoke loudly again, tears rolling down her cheeks. "Grandfather is your biological father, why can you be so calm?"

She was so calm that when she was in the yard just now, she even felt that her grandfather was out of danger.

So calm that he didn't even shed a tear in this situation.

Facing his daughter's questioning, Lv Wenshi frowned and met Lv Yan's gaze, "Your grandfather is old and sick, so this day is only a matter of time. You are still young, and when you have seen more life and death, you will naturally understand that in this world..."

"I don't want to hear any big talk." Lu Yan interrupted Lu Wenshi, "Father, are you really not sad at all?"

Lu Wenshi's expression was complicated, and there seemed to be countless emotions surging in his eyes, and for a moment it was impossible to tell what color they were.

He slightly turned his head to avoid Lu Yan's sight. "Of course I am sad, but the most important thing now is to take good care of your grandfather's funeral. The news must be sent in as soon as possible. In addition to the court officials and relatives, the palace must also send someone to report the news. The mourning hall at home must also be set up as soon as possible. There are so many things to do, and there must be no mistakes. Otherwise, when others come to pay their respects, if they find any mistakes, it will be easy to make a fool of themselves. If they are accused of being unfilial, then our Lu family will be in trouble."

At first, Lu Wenshi just wanted to avoid Lu Yan's topic, but as he talked later, he felt from the bottom of his heart that these things were extremely troublesome, and the irritation and worry on his face became real.

Lu Yan fell to the ground, looking at her father who was immersed in various arrangements, and then looked at Master Lu who was lying on the bed without breathing, and she just felt it was ridiculous.

My grandfather had just passed away, but my father didn't even shed a tear. The only thing that could affect his emotions was the fear that something might go wrong at the funeral and someone might catch him...

"Father." Lu Yan looked at Lu Wenshi again, "Did grandpa leave any last words?"

"No, you know your grandfather had a stroke, and it's hard for him to speak, and he couldn't speak just now." Lu Wenshi shook his head, and then looked at Lu Yan, thought for a while, and comforted her, "Of course, if your grandfather could speak, he would definitely ask you to live a good life, and hope that you can marry a good family soon and live a happy life."

"Heh..." Lu Yan snorted and laughed, "Marry a good family as soon as possible. Is this what my grandfather would say, or what my father would say in his heart?"

"Yan'er, what do you mean by that? Whether it's your father or your grandfather, they definitely hope that you can get married as soon as possible. We are always looking forward to you..."

"My daughter has one last question." Lu Yan interrupted Lu Wenshi, staring at him closely. "Father just asked everyone to leave. If grandpa can't speak because of the stroke, then my daughter wants to know, what did you say to grandpa when he was dying?"
