Why did it take a month for the burial?

Mother-in-law said that father-in-law killed Dai Qingshu to bury him with his son.

My heart skipped a beat, unsure if I should ask whether Dai Qingshu was indeed father-in-law's illegitimate child.

Mother-in-law glanced at me and sneered, "Don't ask what you shouldn't. When it's time for you to know, you'll naturally be informed."

Gu Qingyu died, Dai Qingshu died, and even my parents have been out of touch for a long time.

With the noise they caused gone, the world gradually returned to the way I once knew it, causing a bit of excitement in me.

A year later, on the anniversary of Gu Qingyu's death, father-in-law came back from sweeping the tomb, got drunk in the study, and had a stroke, resulting in hemiplegia.

He didn't survive to see the second anniversary, passing away suddenly.

Given the Gu family's status, they had money and connections, and could easily use the best medical resources to care for a paralyzed elder.

I don't understand why father-in-law's condition deteriorated so rapidly.

Mother-in-law publicly announced that father-in-law fell ill from missing his son and ultimately suffered heart failure.

But the version she told me was completely different.
