You're crying wolf!
"You are the biggest traitor!"
The two sisters-in-law got into a fight outside the Ci'en Temple and slapped each other several times, tearing each other's hair apart.
Ta Xue came out and said, "Madams, please stop arguing. The old lady is still ill!"
The two stopped fighting, tidied themselves up, and then came back to Ci'en Temple.
Madam Tu watched the old lady drink a little porridge and said, "Mother, my third brother is in the Imperial City Guard. His Majesty has invited the Living Buddha Yuanji for him. We can't hang mourning banners in the mansion, but we can't just do nothing, can we?"
The old lady said with tears in her eyes, "Call the eldest son over and let's discuss this."
Gu Boyu didn't really have any ideas; he just did whatever his mother said. But he was also very sad when his third brother passed away.
He just wanted to see his third brother, but Leng Luo said that His Majesty did not allow others to approach and told him to go back to his residence and wait.

Gu Boyu said with a gloomy expression, "When a person dies, the lights go out. All these formalities are of no use. I should have treated him better when he was alive."
The old lady cried, "Who has treated him badly? He has been a Grand Secretary for so many years and has never helped anyone. What more does he want? His meager monthly salary isn't even enough to cover my medical expenses."
Madam Tu immediately wiped away her tears and said, "Yes, Mother even found him a wife, the eldest daughter of the Xie family, who comes with a fortune. How could Mother have treated him badly?"

"Alright, alright, you're all right," Gu Boyu said impatiently. "The ritual has to be done, so go and make all those paper horses, paper oxen, and paper courtyards."
Tu said, "Shall we have the monks perform a ritual at Qingpu Temple to help the deceased pass on?"
Gu Boyu didn't think too much about it and said, "Alright, you decide what to do. Qingpu Courtyard is a big place, so it's fine to hold it there."
When Madam Tu received Gu Boyu's letter, she was overjoyed and told Zhang Qing to gather all the servants in the mansion to set up a mourning tent at Qingpu Courtyard.
Once someone enters Qingpu Temple, even if it's just like an ant carrying its load, after 49 days of prayers, they can empty the temple.
