"That's right, Village Chief. I originally wanted to take care of my ex-daughter-in-law's funeral, but my stepdaughter's future husband wanted to show off in front of me, so he took the initiative to take care of my ex-daughter-in-law's funeral and said that he must spend a lot of money to bury Xiao Qifeng with great fanfare."
"I see."
Knowing that this was a family dispute of the Shu family, the village chief suddenly felt that his identity was a little embarrassing. He originally wanted to find an excuse to burn some incense and leave, but when he saw Xiao Qifeng's body lying there so casually, he looked at Yu Chenfeng with some confusion.
"Sir...how do you plan to arrange this place?"
Yu Chenfeng immediately called the servant Ah Ming to his side and said, "Go to the village entrance and buy the best coffin. Ah Wu, have someone clear a place in the back hills to set up a temporary mourning hall. We'll send Sister Xiao over shortly. Maids present, listen up! When you return, you must prepare for the reception of the mourning guests and arrange for a banquet for at least three days."
"Yes, Master Yu."
All the servants respectfully received orders from Yu Chenfeng and did what they were supposed to do.
After most of the servants had left, Yu Chenfeng looked at the village chief.
"Village Chief...Do you have any questions about my series of procedures?"
The village chief didn't think there was anything wrong, but the three-day banquet...
The village chief was worried about whether Yu Chenfeng could afford such a large expense. He asked, "Sir, have you made a budget for this?"
Yu Chenfeng said calmly, "It's just a small amount of money, why would I need a budget? Besides, this time I asked someone to invite the village chief, hoping to get his consent to build a larger mausoleum in the back mountain. As for the location, I think we need to ask you to take a look before we make a decision."
The village chief was genuinely shocked. He immediately said, "Sir, building a mausoleum, inviting the master, and hosting your banquet will cost at least several hundred taels, perhaps even a thousand. I heard you're just a small follower of Mr. Kang. Are you sure you can afford all this?"
When the remaining servants heard the village chief actually call Yu Chenfeng a "follower"?
They all immediately looked at Yu Chenfeng.
Unable to read Yu Chenfeng's expression, one of the servants quickly pulled the village chief aside.
The servant whispered in the village chief's ear, "Village chief, Master Yu is not my young master's follower. In fact, he is my young master's sworn brother, and also the noble Prince Chen of our Great Luosuo Kingdom. So, village chief...be careful with your words, be careful with your words..."
"What?"
Upon hearing the words "Your Highness Prince Chen," the village chief was so frightened that he quickly knelt before Yu Chenfeng. He trembled and said, "I...I didn't know that you were His Highness Prince Chen. I beg Your Highness to forgive me!"
Seeing the village chief kneeling to Yu Chenfeng, all the villagers were stunned at first, including the people from the Shu family, and then they all knelt down.
Following the village chief's tone, they all said in unison: "Please forgive me, King Chen."
Yu Chenfeng didn't want to embarrass the villagers, so he waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Actually, I came to Guangming Village just to recuperate, but fortunately, I met the love of my life in Guangming Village..."
Pulling Shu Jiaying into his arms, he announced to all the villagers.
"After we return to Fengyun Town, Yingying will become my princess consort, so I don't want to hear anyone disrespect her anymore. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
