But I can't quite put my finger on what's strange about it!
Seeing that Fang Ziming remained silent, Fang Luxue couldn't help but ask, "Is there really a problem with this matter?"
Fang Ziming looked up at Fang Luxue, his brows furrowed, and said in a deep voice, "Don't ask any more questions about this matter..."
He was about to warn Fang Luxue when a knock on the door interrupted him.
"My lord, a man has come to the gate. He says he's from the capital and wants you to receive an imperial edict!"
Fang Ziming suddenly stood up, his face immediately darkening.
The yamen runners who used to deliver imperial edicts all knew each other, but today it seemed that a new person had arrived.
Could this be related to the matter in Yuzhuang?
Dark clouds piled up in the sky, as if the entire sky was about to press down.
On the hill outside Hefeng Town, the man digging the grave looked up at the sky and sighed, "It looks like it's going to rain. The funeral is tomorrow, and things won't be easy."
Chen Yongnian also glanced at the sky, and it certainly looked like it was about to rain heavily.
Half of the surrounding snow had not yet melted, and with the rain, the procession would likely have difficulty making it into the mountains.
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Thank you all. Please cut some grass to lay on the road later to prevent it from being slippery tomorrow."

"Ever since that kid from Wanjia Village caused trouble at the Wanjia family's house, it seems like fewer people are coming to pay their respects."
"Yes! I also heard that the incident at Yuzhuang was caused by Master Wan."
"I've also heard that the entire village of Yuzhuang died silently."
Chen Yongnian frowned as he listened to everyone's discussion.
"The government will make its own decision on this matter; you must not speculate wildly."
After Chen Yongnian finished his reprimand, seeing that the matter was settled, he turned and left.
One of the disgruntled laborers spat at his retreating back, "Official, official! He acts like he's some big shot just because he's an official! He's just a laborer!"
"Exactly! I heard he can't even read many characters, yet he's working as a clerk. What a disgrace!"
