Even those passersby who know the reasons behind it will use the saying "death absolves all debts" to morally blackmail them.

Ms. Ruan is quite old, and now that she has no worries about food and drink, she lives a good life and doesn't care about anything else.

However, these children's lives have just begun. What if they are affected?

If attending the funeral could erase all of this, she would be willing to go.

After listening, the old lady frowned, then waved her hand decisively, "No, what's the point of going? You always overthink things, worrying about this and that. How can you please everyone in this world? Although your thinking isn't wrong, if you go, people will think our family is easy to bully. Granny Ruan did so many bad things, and just because someone died, we're going to forgive her? No, I'm petty, I won't forgive her."

She gave me the impression that I wasn't very magnanimous, saying, "Anyway, I'm of a higher generation. If anyone asks, just say I didn't let you go. You're the younger generation, and it's unfilial of you not to listen to me. If anyone has any objections, come and talk to me."

Madam Ruan said helplessly, "Mother, I understand, I won't go."

"Yes, tell the second brother about this later, so he doesn't know nothing."

"good."

After exchanging a few more words with the old lady, Madam Ruan got up and left.

Compared to the worried look on her face when she first entered, she now appears relaxed and at ease.

Just as she was about to return to her own courtyard, she discovered two people sitting in the pavilion, drinking tea and eating melon seeds.

As Ruan got closer, she realized it was Shu Yu and Ying Xi.

"Ayu? It's so late at night, are you just sitting here feeding the mosquitoes?"

"I'm waiting for you here, Mother." Shu Yu came out of the pavilion, walked to Ruan Shi's side, took her arm and smiled, "When we were having dinner just now, I noticed that you seemed to have something on your mind, so I waited for you here."

Ruan patted Shu Yu's hand, "There was something I couldn't decide on before, but it's fine now."

"What problem has Mother encountered?"

Now that the decision had been made, Madam Ruan no longer intended to hide it and told them the news of Granny Ruan's death.

Shu Yu was very surprised, "Passed away? How did he pass away?"

"I didn't ask for more details, but I heard from my cousin that he died of illness."

He died of illness?

Shu Yu understood, and then heard Madam Ruan say, "Our family has long since severed ties with them and will not have any contact with them in the future, so it has nothing to do with us." The implication was that she would not go to see Madam Ruan off.

Seeing that Madam Ruan's expression was calm, Shu Yu didn't say anything more, but simply nodded and escorted her back to her room.

When she came out again, she said to Ying Xi, "Tomorrow, go and find out what illness Granny Ruan died of."

"Yes, Miss."

Yingxi was quick; she returned the next day after noon.

She not only brought definite news, but also the diagnosis results from the doctor who treated Granny Ruan.

Shu Yu took it and looked at it. There were two diagnosis reports. The first one said that the patient had poor appetite, liver qi stagnation, and heart qi stagnation. In short, the patient was not in a good mood and often got angry.

The next sheet describes the cause of the illness in more detail, saying that there is a hard lump under the armpit, with local pain, weight loss, and fatigue.

The doctor prescribed medicine, but it wasn't very effective.

Shu Yu looked at the two diagnosis reports thoughtfully. If she remembered correctly, the symptoms written on the second report seemed to indicate breast cancer.
