Upon hearing this, Xue Yuanchu was deeply moved and bowed deeply again.
He knew in his heart that the Queen Mother intended to marry her younger sister Xue Shanqiu to Prince Linjiang, so he was particularly respectful to Li Longjing.
Li Longjing saw Xue Yuanchu's refined manner and responded in a friendly manner: "Prince Xue, there is no need to be so polite. The old marquis's achievements are admirable. I am just fulfilling my due etiquette."
After saying this, he dismounted swiftly and walked with the Xue brothers to show respect for the deceased.
The group moved forward slowly and out of the east city gate. Only then did King Linjiang say goodbye and go back.
After seeing off King Linjiang, the Xue family's funeral procession continued to head towards the Xue family's ancestral tomb.
In front of the ancestral tomb, old lady Hong Yingrong led her five children in bowing three times and kowtowed nine times according to etiquette. The whole process was solemn and dignified. Only after the tomb was sealed did everyone slowly stand up.

The situation in her previous life where the old marquis was opened and mutilated was something she could not let happen again in this life even if she risked her life.

At the same time, he carefully picked up another spirit tablet and planned to take a sedan chair to the Taimiao to complete the ceremony prescribed by the Ministry of Rites, so that his father's spirit tablet could enter the Taimiao on time at noon to receive incense and offerings.
Xue Zhongfu and Xue Jiyan were preparing to send their mother Hong Yingrong, sister-in-law Jiang Shuxiu and their sisters back home.
Hong Yingrong looked at the spirit tablet in Xue Yuanchu's hand, a trace of thought flashed in her eyes, and then she said majestically: "I will personally carry the spirit tablet into the Taimiao, Boss, you just accompany me."
Xue Yuanchu was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "Yes, everything is up to mother."
