Hearing the words "no spirit tablet", Liu Wanyun felt uneasy. She hoped it was what she thought, but was also a little afraid that it was not the case. Guan Xiaoyu and Zhang Xinyue beside her also became nervous.
She tugged at Shen Chaodong's sleeve and asked with forced composure, "How come there's no spirit tablet? Didn't you say that grandma is no longer here?"
Shen Chaodong nodded, “Grandma did pass away, this was her last request.”
In Shen Chaodong's memory, although his grandmother was delicate, she often had unique thoughts.
For example, regarding the issue of burial after death, everyone says that the dead should be buried in the ground to rest in peace, but before her death, his grandmother told his grandfather that she did not want her body to rot bit by bit, so she asked his grandfather to cremate her body and scatter the ashes in the back mountain.
Don't erect a monument or place an altar.
Grandma said that she is no longer with us, but her soul will always be with grandpa!
As a result, his grandfather stayed in the farm all these years and did not even go back to Puning City to visit him, even for such a big event as the marriage of the three brothers.
Zhang Xinyue pressed on, "Grandma didn't just disappear out of thin air, or did she turn into a butterfly and fly away?"
When she asked this question, the three men stared at her as if she were a fool.
Shen Lao San couldn't help laughing, "Madam, are you reading medical books or storybooks recently? Even the butterfly transformation thing came up..."
In the understanding of Liu Wanyun and the other two, people in ancient times got married early and had children before the age of 20. Unless there were special circumstances, they should have grandchildren around the age of 40. Based on this, it can be deduced that Old Master Shen was only about 60 years old, and grandmother had passed away for several years, which means that grandmother died in her 50s... It was too early to die!
It was inevitable that they would wonder if this grandmother had traveled back in time again?
If this is true, does it mean that they might be like this too?
Liu Wanyun asked tentatively, "Grandpa seemed to be in good health. Why did Grandma die so early...did she suddenly contract a serious illness, or...?"
Shen Lao Da: "Grandmother has had heart palpitations since she was a child. Grandfather often took her on trips to visit famous doctors. According to Grandmother herself, the doctor who treated her since she was a child said she would not live past the age of 20, but in the end, she lived past 50, which is a miracle!"
Liu Wanyun and the other two wanted to know more about their grandmother, but the three men refused.
"Let's go back to the house and wash up and rest. You've been driving the carriage all day and now you're busy again. Aren't you tired?"
As soon as Shen Lao Er finished speaking, the three women were taken away by their men.
…
At night, in Zhuangzi, where the only sound was the croaking of frogs, other sounds could be heard from time to time.
The old woman who was keeping watch in the courtyard with Sixi, Qiao'er, and Rendong couldn't help but ask, "Is your young mistress also so open-minded when she's in the mansion?"
Si Xi didn't say anything, but her face turned slightly red. Anyway, her young lady had never been able to control her voice, and her ears were immune to all poisons.
Honeysuckle didn't say anything. If these people knew what the young lady and her husband were doing, their eyes would probably pop out.
Only Qiao'er replied foolishly, "When we were in the mansion, we each had our own yard, so we couldn't hear..."
Moreover, her young lady and her son-in-law are both gentlemen, and they would never be as unscrupulous as the eldest and third young ladies.
Fortunately, unlike back home, they knew how to restrain themselves and only sent a single water delivery before the incident ended. Only after the masters had rested did the servants dare to sleep peacefully.
The next morning, Liu Wanyun always felt that the maids in the mansion were staring at her from time to time, which was a bit strange, so she asked Si Xi what was going on.
Si Xi whispered to her what happened last night, and she immediately felt ashamed! Is the soundproofing in this house so bad?
This is all Brother Dong’s fault!
He insisted on making her use that position on the carriage, which was too stimulating and she couldn't control her voice.
In order to ease the embarrassment, after breakfast, Liu Wanyun asked Chen Chaodong to go hiking to worship the Goddess of Childbirth.
Because he wanted to spend more time with his three grandsons, Old Master Shen also expressed his desire to go hiking with them. Once he went, Second Master Shen naturally had to follow along.
Mrs. Shen Er also wanted to go, but was rejected!
"If you go with me, who will take care of the house? Who will prepare lunch?" said Mr. Shen.
When he heard that they were going to climb a mountain, he changed his clothes and dressed very smartly.
Seeing this, Mrs. Shen Er was a little unhappy, "There's not much to do at home, I'll just tell them to do it..."
"Why are you so ignorant? It's not just the few of us here as usual. There are so many people at home. You are the mistress of this house. You should be at home taking good care of everything. Why are you joining in the fun? If you want to climb the mountain, wait until they leave, then you can go slowly!"
Mr. Shen's tone was a little impatient, and he scolded her.
"What's the point of climbing alone? It's rare for my nieces and nieces to come, so I'll go with them..."
As she spoke, she looked towards Liu Wanyun and the other two, hoping they could say something for her, but the three of them simply ignored her!
Speaking for people they don't like and being a pushover have never been the style of these three!
Besides, the three of them were the younger generation and had no right to speak, so they all lowered their heads.
In the end, it was Old Master Shen who spoke up and put an end to the matter. "Second son's wife, just rest assured and take care of things at home. We'll be back in just half a day!"
A group of people went out of the door in a mighty procession, leaving Mrs. Shen Er at the door. She watched them walk a long way away, then she angrily shook her sleeves and went into the house.
The maid who served her followed behind her and comforted her, "Madam, don't worry. The Second Master just wants to accompany the old man for a walk. Don't think too much!"
Mrs. Shen sighed and stopped thinking about it.
But Liu Wanyun was a sharp-minded person. When they walked a distance away, she pulled Shen Chaodong's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Brother Dong, is the relationship between the second uncle and aunt not very good?"
"Why do you say that?"
Shen Chaodong was a little confused. His second uncle and aunt didn't quarrel, and his second uncle didn't take a concubine or anything. How could he see that something was wrong?
Liu Wanyun couldn't explain it specifically. "Well, it's just a feeling. I feel like my second uncle and aunt are being a bit impatient, and they don't want me to go out with them!"
ah?
Does this mean the relationship is bad?
"Didn't Second Uncle already say that because we're here, he wants Aunt to take care of things at home..."
Shen Chaodong was thinking as he spoke, wondering if there were any other hints in this young lady's mind, or if she was giving him some advice.
"Don't be fooled by his appearance just now. Second Uncle has always been very kind. Aunt has the final say on all matters big and small in the family, and he rarely objects. This time, it's probably because we're here, so he has to act like an elder!"
But women's intuition is always accurate. Liu Wanyun always felt that her second uncle seemed to be very expectant when he went out just now!
I feel like... I'm going to meet my lover!
