The man raised his head, trying to hold back his tears.
Because once you start, you can't stop.
The funeral was very simple. Because Cheng Wenyun was a woman and had no children or grandchildren, almost no one came to pay their respects.
And most importantly, the coffin could not remain in the Cheng Mansion until sunset.

“An unmarried daughter cannot be buried in the ancestral grave, as it will disrupt the feng shui and disturb the peace of the ancestors. You should arrange a ghost marriage for Wenjun and bury her in someone else’s ancestral grave.”
