Carrie's death didn't cause a stir in the Chu Clan mansion at all. Charles only asked Sue to arrange a simple funeral for her. But the entire time, he even did not appear at the funeral. It was as if Carrie was not his concubine at all.

Because of Charles' indifference to Carrie's funeral, Sue did not want to spend money on the funeral at all. She just asked someone to cover Carrie's corpse with some straw mat and throw it to some wasteland.
