The white lanterns hanging in the courtyard were now lit, and the mourning hall was illuminated by white candles.
At a glance, one can see Wan Ziyan, dressed in mourning clothes, kneeling in the mourning hall, lighting one paper money after another, the burning flames reflecting his pale face.
Wan Qiqi looked at him and sighed, "Go prepare some tea and rice porridge and send it over. I'll try to persuade him in a bit."
"Okay!" Ah Lai breathed a sigh of relief, his heart finally at ease, and he immediately hurried off to prepare.
Wan Qiqi looked around and found that there were many unfamiliar servants in the Wan residence.
Among the servants, she spotted a familiar figure and strolled over.
"Brother Tao!"
Upon hearing the voice, Tao Ran paused for a moment, turned her head to look, and was slightly surprised by Wan Qiqi's attire.

Wan Qiqi was taken aback, not expecting Tao Ran to ask about this, and nodded.
Tao Ran's gloomy face softened a bit. "That's good. At least he can rest assured now. Otherwise, I'm afraid he wouldn't have made it through."
"Did Master Wan pass away naturally...?"
So much has happened lately that Wan Qiqi is starting to become suspicious!
Tao Ran looked surprised, not understanding what Wan Qiqi meant.
It is common knowledge that Master Wan has been ill for a long time.
Why would she ask such a question?
Seeing Tao Ran's expression, Wan Qiqi realized she was overthinking things. She gave an awkward smile and explained, "I just can't believe that Uncle Wan has passed away like this..."
