The incense table was set up very simply. After all, it's a rural area, and people aren't too particular about it; the saying is, "The gesture is enough."
The so-called incense table was actually the dining table of Yun Youtian's family. It was carried into the courtyard, and then a red cloth was found... Since there wasn't a large enough red cloth, a red quilt cover was specially used as a base, and then another layer of red cloth was placed on top. That was how the incense table was set up. Then a clean sweet potato ring was cut and placed in the middle of the red cloth to hold incense sticks, and that was it.
After setting up the incense table, the two brothers, Yun Wansheng and Yun Fusheng, carried out Wang Shufen, who was writhing in pain, and helped her kneel behind the incense table.
Because of the hope in her heart, even though Wang Shufen was in so much pain that she was trembling all over, she still gritted her teeth and had her two sons hold her up tightly, so that at least it looked like she was kneeling 'well'.
Because of the instructions given by the voice in her mind (Xiao Jiu), He Xiangu sang and danced in Yun Youtian's courtyard for a long time until a crowd of people gathered outside to watch the spectacle. Only then did she stop jumping around, straighten her face, and sternly shout at Wang Shufen: "Wang Shufen, do you know your mistake!"
Although Wang Shufen was in great pain, she believed this was her chance to be free, so her attention was quite focused. Because of this, when He Xiangu shouted, she was startled and instinctively wanted to deny it. However, before she could speak, Wang Shufen realized her mistake and nodded vigorously, as if pounding garlic: "I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong, Great Immortal, you are wise, I know I was wrong."
"Then tell me, where did you go wrong?" He Xiangu asked sternly again.
Wang Shufen had been in real pain and was terrified, fearing that she would suffer for 49 days as those people had said. So, even though she knew there were many people watching outside and that she would lose face if she admitted to being unfilial, she quickly said, "I have been disobedient and unfilial, I have talked back to and schemed against the elders, and I have even secretly insulted them. I have committed a grave offense. Please forgive me, Great Immortal. I will never dare to do it again, never again."
"Tell me in detail how you talked back to and schemed against the elderly, how you insulted them, and don't tell me a single lie. Otherwise, I, the Star Lord, will not let you off lightly!"
"Yes, yes, I wouldn't dare to deceive the immortal." Wang Shufang nodded repeatedly, not daring to hesitate, and said directly, "Because my in-laws are repairing their house, the food is good and the work isn't heavy, so I wanted my youngest son to go and eat something nice. Anyway, my youngest son can't do much work at home, so when my eldest son comes back, he can do the work. So I deliberately forced my eldest son to pretend to be sick and not allow him to help the two elders."
"This is a calculated move."
"My father-in-law wouldn't let his youngest son help him and even had his jaw broken. I was heartbroken and furious, so I went to my in-laws' house, intending to ruin their reputation and let people know they were wicked people. My father-in-law wasn't there, so I didn't get anything good out of them and was even more frightened. I was even angrier and couldn't help but curse my in-laws in my heart. Oh, spirit, I know I was wrong. I'll never dare to curse them again. Please, have mercy on me..."
It has to be said that Wang Shufen's self-deception has truly become a habit; even at times like this, she doesn't forget to downplay the seriousness of the matter.
And these are all subconscious behaviors.
