Wang Dongchuan glanced at Li Fengxia but said nothing.
Li Yingcai turned his head and asked, "Fourth Sister, what happened?"
"I... I thought it didn't look very nice hanging in the shop, and since it was a token of love between Mom and Dad, I hung it in Mom's room..."
"Foolish!" Lu Rui's eyes lit up, and he immediately scolded, "Don't you know that no matter what you give, you can't give an old person a clock!"
The expressions on everyone's faces changed slightly, and their eyes were filled with resentment as they looked at Li Fengxia.
"You, you're cursing your mother to die!" Li Yingcai pointed at Li Fengxia, trembling with anger.
Li Fengxia sobbed, "I didn't mean to, how could I hurt Mom! Waaah..."
Seeing this, Wang Xueting quickly went over to support Li Fengxia and comforted her, "Mom, this has nothing to do with you... Grandma is getting old too..."
Gu Liyan frowned and sighed. Even without the aura of death, the old man probably wouldn't last this year...
Looking at the wall clock in his hand, Gu Liyan said, "I'll destroy this thing. You can choose a date to bury the person."
After saying that, he left with Lu Rui and An Qianbai.
Lu Rui looked at the wall clock in Gu Liyan's hand with a gloomy expression. "Lord Mo Li, is it really because of this?"
Gu Liyan said calmly, "That's only one aspect. You possess the Soul Painting Eye, and I think you understand that fate is sometimes already predetermined."
Lu Rui nodded. "I know..."
Gu Liyan slapped the clock, shattering it to pieces, and found a pair of gears inside. "That's how the gears of fate are. You never know when they will begin or where they will stop."
"Lord Mo Li, the mission is half complete. What should we do with the other half?" Lu Rui asked.
“It’s not an easy thing to arrange a marriage, and I don’t have anyone in mind for the time being,” Gu Liyan said after thinking for a moment.
Chen Rui thought for a moment and said, "Well... in that case, why don't you two stay at my house for the night? That would be more convenient."
Gu Liyan glanced at An Qianbai and nodded, "Okay."
An Qianbai noticed that Gu Liyan lingered on her for a moment, and was pleasantly surprised. Was Gu Liyan taking care of her?
Lu Rui did not participate in his parents' discussions about the old man's funeral arrangements, but instead waited at home for news.
Around noon, a light rain began to fall outside the window.
Argumentation could be heard outside the stairwell. Gu Liyan raised an eyebrow and said, "It seems something bad has happened."
Lu Rui looked at Gu Liyan with some confusion. Then the door opened, and Lu Yunshan and Li Yingcai walked in noisily.
Following closely behind were Li Fengying, Li Yingcai, Li Yingying, and Li Yingying's mother, who walked in.
Lu Rui hurriedly stood up. "Dad, Uncle, Aunt, Cousin, what's wrong?"
Lu Yunshan sat angrily on the sofa, "It's all because of your fourth aunt and your fourth uncle!"
"Those two beasts! They're not even human!" Li Yingcai cursed angrily.
Lu Rui looked at the two of them with suspicion, but seeing their angry expressions, he didn't dare to ask any more questions. Instead, he looked at Li Yingying and asked, "Cousin, what happened?"
"It's all about buying a burial plot!" Li Yingying said angrily. "Fourth Aunt insists on buying a burial plot to put the Li family's ancestral graves together with Grandma's! How can that be allowed!"
Lu Rui frowned, still somewhat confused.
“Ancestral graves belong to the first generation, and elders belong to the second generation; they cannot be placed together.” Gu Liyan came out of the kitchen, having brewed tea, and An Qianbai followed behind, carrying a teacup.
“You…” Lu Yunshan stood up, quite surprised to see Gu Liyan in his home.
Everyone looked at Gu Liyan and An Qianbai with even greater surprise.
Gu Liyan placed the teacup on the tea table, and An Qianbai followed behind and placed the cup down as well.
Upon seeing the tea set, Lu Yunshan was slightly taken aback. "This is jade?!"
Gu Liyan smiled slightly, "A gentleman is like jade, why bother arguing with a petty person?"
Gu Liyan picked up a teacup, filled it with tea, and handed it to Lu Yunshan and Li Yingcai, saying, "Calm down and try it."
Lu Yunshan sat down and relaxed. He picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and his eyes lit up immediately. "Good tea!"
Li Yingcai took a sip. "This water is sweet. It doesn't seem to be the water from around here?"
Gu Liyan smiled slightly, "The water here is tainted with too much filth and is unworthy of this fine tea."
He turned to Li Fengying, whose eyes were slightly red, and said, "Madam, why don't you give it a try?"
Li Fengying was still afraid of Gu Liyan and dared not step forward. When Lu Rui heard Gu Liyan's words, he hurriedly served tea to Li Fengying.
Li Fengying breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and smiled at Gu Liyan.
Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Gu Liyan spoke up, "Gentlemen, could you tell me what just happened?"
“Young friend, it’s like this. We just went to the cemetery to buy a good burial plot for our elders. After thinking it over, we decided to move the ancestral graves here as well. It won’t cost much in total. But as soon as we said that, Li Fengxia and her husband were unhappy.” Li Yingcai started to speak.
"Not willing? Why not? If this were changed to a better feng shui location, it would bring prosperity to three generations of descendants!" Gu Liyan said with a smile.
“Who says otherwise!” Li Yingcai’s wife also opened up, “It’s just that Li Fengxia thinks buying two is wasteful and wants to save money!”
“They also said that someone had put two generations’ graves together, and that it was okay to do that, so I had to buy one!” Li Yingying said, wiping away her tears. “Later, when they wouldn’t listen, they started cursing my dad, saying they would buy one for him too. You tell me, wasn’t she cursing my dad to die?!”
Gu Liyan frowned slightly; this guy really had no manners. Lu Yunshan, sitting to the side, sighed repeatedly.
"In the end, that heartless guy even said that Dad's grave was right next to the ancestral grave."
