Chapter 821: After the Funeral

lace was touched by her master's original hand. She had simply simplified the process and told Captain Feng.All who entered drew a sharp breath at the sight of skeletons within the three-walled enclos...Three elderly women were supported by the younger generation of the Su family as they walked out from the shadows. They gave Tang Huirong a cold glance before speaking:

"Mrs. Tang, have you heard what the child said! After the seventh day, return home as soon as possible. The junior doesn't feel comfortable speaking up, but we are not afraid."

If you dare to stay at the Su Mansion, pretending your son will climb the ranks through ripples, I advise you to give up this idea. This is the Su Mansion. If you dare to stay for another day, I will make your son sleep with a maidservant on the same bed."

"You"

Tang Huirong's face turned pale in an instant. She didn't expect that her attempt to sow discord would backfire, and she was now threatened. But she was truly frightened. She still wanted to use her son's good looks to find a good marriage for him, to help out the eldest daughter at home. If this happened, it would be all for nothing.

"Hmph! I'll see how long you can keep this up."

Tang Huirong knew she wouldn't get a good deal, so she turned and left. It was better to stay with her own son. If something really happened, she would be utterly heartbroken.

After the others left, Lian Yi stepped forward to bow to the three elders:

Thank you, elders of the three clans, for rescuing me.

"As long as you're not afraid of me being nosy, you're still too young. There are some things we say that you shouldn't repeat, not just because it would affect your reputation, but also for your future development. We can't leave a stain on your record."

The three old ladies explained.

"The Three Elders are right, Lian Yi understands! This is all the love and care from our clan. I promise here that I will surely bring honor to our name and benefit the Su Clan."

Ripples spoke solemnly. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"You're a smart child, just think it through. At my age, I've seen all kinds of people. Not to mention others, even within the Su family, there are some scoundrels and rogues. So when it's time to wield the stick, you can't be soft-hearted, otherwise they'll take advantage of your kindness."

This Tang Huirong is a venomous snake. You should be careful of her in the future.

Hearing Lian Yi's words, the three elders said with kind faces and specially reminded.

"The words of the elders of the three clans were engraved in my memory. I will definitely not give my aunt a chance to cling to me."

"The funeral is tomorrow, so you should get some rest and take care of yourself. Make sure your parents' affairs are handled well."

"Yes, elders of the three clans."

After the ripples subsided, Lian Yi took An He back to the courtyard to rest.

Both Ziyan and Zisu were waiting at the door, their young mistress was returning later than the previous two days, they were a little worried.

"Miss has returned."

Purple immediately spoke and then went to greet him, while Ziyān went into the small kitchen first to get food.

"Miss, why are you so late today Dinner has already been reheated once."

Shiso, handing over a damp cloth while saying,

"I was blocked by my good aunt and she even tried to stir up trouble between me and the rest of the family."

Ripples sat on the edge of the seat, wiping her hands and face.

"Miss, have a cup of tea to moisten your throat first."

First, tea was served at the tip of the purple smoke, and then the meal began.

"Miss, that young Master Tang came again today, saying he made a new dress for you. I didn't dare accept it. If I accepted clothes made by his own hands, who knows what rumors his family might spread So, I sent him away under the pretense that you are observing mourning and it wouldn't be appropriate to wear flamboyant clothes."

Perilla said proudly.

Well done!

The ripples gave a highly affirmative response. As a woman, it's not good to entangle with a little man, and she is also her own cousin. Therefore, handling it this way is very good.

"Miss, please eat first!"

Zǐyān has already placed the exquisite dinner on the table.

Even ripples didn't feel wronged. After eating and washing up, she went to rest early.

The next day, Su Xiu Xiu and Tang Ming Xuan's funerals were held. Starting from Lian Yi accidentally breaking a vase, the procession carrying their coffins left Su Mansion. Lian Yi cried all the way to the cemetery, watched as they were buried, a tombstone was erected, and then paid her respects. Only after the sun set did she return to Su Mansion.

After all that commotion, Lian'i was also a bit tired. She ate something and went to bed early. There were still things to do for the seventh day of mourning.

But once the seventh day of mourning passed, the Five Elders appeared and sent the Tang family mother and son back. With these two people gone from the house, Lian Yi's mood improved considerably. Zi Yan and Zi Su looked visibly more relaxed, showing that they both sensed Tang Zi Jun's malice. It's unclear how blind the original owner was to not feel it.

When Tang Huirong and Tang Zijun left, they both had faces full of resentment and unwillingness. Alas, just as Lian Yi said, this was the Su Mansion, and it wasn't up to the Tang family to call the shots. Besides, with the two elders of the Su clan watching over things, she really couldn't stay.

A month later, Lianyi had taken care of her parents' funeral arrangements and settled everything. She then went to the county office with the two elders, transferring the thirty acres of fertile land into the Su clan's name. It was stated as a sacrificial field, a gift from her to help support the orphans within the clan.

The two elders smiled and accepted the deed. They tactfully took their leave, after all, since the funeral arrangements had been completed, it was inappropriate for them to remain at the Su residence any longer.

"Thank you, two elders, for your hard work these days. My parents passed away peacefully and smoothly."

Ripples respectfully thanked.

"One stroke of the brush cannot write two Su characters. You are a good daughter of our Su family, and your future is limitless. You mustn't slack off."

The three elderly women instructed.

"The Elder said, "I'm planning to move temporarily to the Su family estate. I'll observe filial piety for my parents while also copying the Sutra of Rebirth to offer and burn after it's finished. My hope is that this will appease their resentment and allow them to be reborn soon."

The ripples said meekly.

"This is a good thing, and it's also your filial piety. Going to the farm will save you some trouble. If anything happens, just send someone back to the clan."

Five old women also spoke.

"Yes, Ripple recorded it."

The ripples bowed her head in response, then sent the two elders onto a cart piled high with belongings. Only then did she wave goodbye.

The two elders on the carriage were also whispering to each other.

"I didn't realize how composed and level-headed Lianyi was. She's actually quite promising."

"When she was younger, all she had to do was study hard and pass the imperial examinations. Now that her elders are gone to protect her and after being schemed against by her aunt, these experiences have forced her to grow up."

The three old women sighed.

"This child is clever enough to see through her aunt's scheme. She immediately invited us over, putting Madam Tang in a tight spot and leaving her speechless. We helped her get rid of this trouble."

It's a shame that I couldn't participate in this year's provincial examination.

"As the saying goes, 'One may lose a horse and yet find something better'. Three years is just enough time for her to calm down. After three years, Riyi would only be twenty years old, a young candidate."

"At twenty years old, her marriage..."

"We can bring this up and even prepare some suitable candidates, but we can't force it on Ripple. Otherwise, we might end up doing more harm than good. We don't want to alienate her from the tribe."

The three elders were quite well-thought-out, considering all aspects.

"You're right, let's do it your way."

The Five Elders also seemed quite pleased, and she even patted the deed in her bosom, a smile spreading across her face that couldn't be concealed.

The ripples on the other side had already packed their bags and set off for Sujiazhuang, under the careful instructions of the two young attendants.ect Yun Yi of treason, but she met with an accident just as you were about to investigate her.
