The Zhao family quickly handled the funeral arrangements for Steward Li. They followed the proper procedures where necessary and settled matters privately where appropriate.
The tense atmosphere gradually dissipated, the old lady stopped acting crazy, was able to communicate normally, and seemed to be getting more and more normal.
With the pressure on everyone reduced, their minds began to wander again.
Almost everyone was still processing what had just happened; it was the first time in their lives that they had encountered something so scientifically inexplicable.
As for the old lady's excuse, such as ancestral blessings, once everyone calmed down, probably not many people completely believed it.
Who's got so much free time? Coming all the way up here just for the old lady.
The old lady is just an outsider, why should she receive such treatment?
Even if the ancestors were to manifest their power, it would only be at a critical moment when the Zhao family was facing a crisis of survival and their descendants were about to be cut off.
Matters of the mortal world should be left to the mortal world.
Why make a special trip up here when a master in the human world could solve the problem? Isn't that a waste of talent?
They didn't even bother to greet those who were truly of the Zhao family bloodline...
It really is true; it all comes down to the old lady's words...
While everyone's thoughts were wandering...
Just then, the old lady, leaning on her cane, gathered everyone together and solemnly said:
“This time, we are all thanks to the blessings of our ancestors. After much thought, I realized that we, their descendants who have been protected by them, must do something for them.”
Everyone was filled with surprise and doubt:
What can we do for our ancestors?
"Yes, after all, the living and the dead are separated. All we superiors can do for those below us is burn more paper money."
"At most, a few more houses, cars, and some paper figures will be burned..."
"Don't we burn enough offerings for our ancestors every year? Our ancestors below probably don't need these either, right?..."
The old woman leaned on her cane, and everyone fell silent, holding their breath and waiting for her to come up with something interesting.
Yu Shuang cleared her throat and announced in a firm and resounding voice:
"Let's find an auspicious day to prepare for the relocation of the grave."
The crowd gasped, wondering if they had misheard.
"ah!!"
"What?! Relocate the grave?! Are you kidding me?! You can't just move it like that?! Not only do we disagree, but none of the Zhao family's collateral relatives agree either!"
"The Zhao family ancestral graves were created by our ancestors with the help of several highly renowned feng shui masters, who crafted an excellent feng shui site."
"May the Zhao family prosper for a hundred years; this is the foundation upon which our Zhao family will continue to flourish. How can you move the grave?"
"Yes, that's no small matter!"
"Ancestral graves can never be moved, not even in this lifetime..."
The crowd was filled with indignation and became more and more excited as they spoke.
Yu Shuang asked in surprise:
"Have you all forgotten where Butler Li brought that vengeful ghost from?"
scare!!
His words were like a thunderclap in everyone's minds.
Holy crap!
The Zhao family ancestral graves!?
The focus just now was on the matter of Steward Li colluding with a vengeful ghost to bring disaster to the entire Zhao family.
They hadn't yet learned about the grudge between that vengeful ghost and their own family.
I didn't pay much attention at the time, but now that I think about it, it's terrifying.
Ah! So how could such a feng shui treasure land, the Zhao family's ancestral graves, have nurtured such a ferocious vengeful ghost?!
And it even escaped, threatening to return for revenge!
If we speculate further, could the vengeful ghost have returned to its lair—the Zhao family's ancestral graveyard?!
Aaaaaah!!
Is this why the ancestor suddenly appeared to save the old lady?
The truth has been revealed!!!
A sense of dread washed over everyone.
"Well... there's no need to move the grave and disturb the ancestors, is there? Just ask a master to exorcise the ghost..."
"bump."
As soon as Zhao Xiaomei finished speaking, she felt a sharp pain on her forehead.
Her eyes were filled with tears of grievance.
The old lady hit her again!!!
Yu Shuang spoke up:
"I'm informing you, not discussing it with you. Does anyone else have any objections?"
Everyone: "...!!?"
This old lady is so domineering...
