Ni Yueshan insisted, shaking her head: "No, I just want to sleep."
She just wanted to be alone and quiet, so how could she have the mood to eat?
Jing Yuchen sighed and said, "The dead cannot be resurrected. I have asked someone to find out where the tomb is built. So if you are sad, you can go to the tomb tomorrow and burn some incense."
Ni Yueshan didn't even turn his head, responded with a deep "hmm" and went to sleep.
Jing Yuchen didn't know what to say, so he turned around and left silently.
When night fell, Jing Yuchen didn't dare to go in and went to another room to rest.
The next morning, Jing Yuchen had someone prepare a carriage, paper money and incense, waiting for Ni Yueshan to get up and set off with him!
Ni Yueshan left the room and Jing Yuchen took her to have breakfast.
"I didn't eat last night, so I should eat something this morning, right?"
Ni Yueshan shrugged: "I don't have to eat it either!"
"No! Without you to accompany me for meals, I won't be able to enjoy my food and won't be able to eat!"
Ni Yueshan lowered his head and said depressedly: "Then you don't eat..."
Jing Yuchen: “…”
"Haha, I was just teasing you!" Ni Yueshan suddenly laughed, but this smile was uglier than crying...
After the two finished their meal, they set off for the cemetery.
From a distance, Qingdie, who was following outside, asked suspiciously, "Master, that person... there is a person in front of the tomb."
Ni Yueshan lifted the curtain to take a look, and sure enough, a woman was burning paper in front of the grave, kowtowing as she burned, and seemed to be muttering something.
The driver then said, "That's Miss Lin's grave!"
Ni Yueshan didn't know who that person was, but without thinking much, he followed Jing Yuchen out of the carriage and walked over.
When the old woman saw someone walking towards her, she quickly threw away all the paper money in her hand and stood up to leave.
Ni Yueshan said, "Old man, I am Miss Lin's friend. I just returned to Beijing and came here today after hearing the bad news. It's okay. You can continue to burn..."
But the other party waved his hand: "No, no, I'm done!"
But there were clearly still a lot of unburned paper money nearby. The old woman walked away in a hurry, obviously unwilling to say more.
Ni Yueshan just felt it was strange. Logically, the only people who gave Lin Pin'er the most money were the Lin Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion, but where did this woman come from?
Ni Yueshan raised her voice and asked, "Old lady, who are you to Miss Lin? Why are you burning paper for her?"
The old woman paused, did not answer, and walked quickly.
It seems like you are avoiding the question.
Ni Yueshan narrowed her eyes and before she could speak, Jing Yuchen spoke first: "Qingdie, bring him back!"
"Do you also think there's something wrong with her?" Ni Yueshan asked Jing Yuchen beside him, and Jing Yuchen nodded.
The old woman could not escape Qingdie's clutches and was forced to stop. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen.
"Old woman, is there anything presumptuous about my question? Why are you avoiding the subject? It's as if you're afraid and terrified."
She squinted her eyes and looked at the old woman. Her eyes were very sharp, but the old woman said with some dissatisfaction: "I, I was afraid that you were from the Lin Mansion and would beat me if you saw me! That's why I walked a little faster!"
Ni Yueshan looked at her in surprise: "Why did the people from the Lin Mansion beat you?"
The old woman then raised her head and began to explain: "I am a midwife..."
Ni Yueshan showed an expression of surprise. The midwife did not deliver the baby properly, and the child and the woman died together. It was normal for him to be beaten.
"Why did she... have a difficult birth? Was it because they took too long to find a midwife, which led to the delayed delivery?"
"Yes." The old woman lowered her head, her eyes somewhat evasive.
Ni Yueshan looked at her scrutinizingly, and opened her mouth to ask something, but Jing Yuchen said from the side: "Okay, there's nothing for you to do now, so go away!"
The midwife seemed liberated, turned around and left without stopping.
Ni Yueshan looked at Jing Yuchen suspiciously: "Why did you let them go?"
Jing Yuchen made a gesture to keep quiet, and Ni Yueshan had no choice but to look at the old woman's back.
Jing Yuchen then ordered Qingdie: "Follow!"
Qingdie was surprised, but didn't say much. She took a step forward and followed quietly.
Ni Yueshan asked, "Is she suspicious?"
"As a midwife, a pregnant woman and a child died in her care. Do you think she should come here to burn paper money out of guilt?"
This question obviously stumped Ni Yueshan.
