Yi Han looked at Aunt Qingyang's frown, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried, but he remained calm and comforted her softly, "Aunt, please relax for now. Yun Xi decided not to return home for the funeral. This may attract the attention of others, but no one will dare to impeach her. After all, this is a family matter, and it is difficult for outsiders to interfere."

When Aunt Qingyang heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes, and she sighed softly, "I hope so."

Yi Han gently patted his aunt's shoulder to comfort her: "Okay, aunt, don't worry about this anymore. I'll go find Yun Xi now to prevent her from speculating too much. You should also rest early, your health is important."

"Okay, go ahead." Aunt Qingyang nodded, her eyes full of concern, "You haven't eaten yet? I'll go prepare something for you."

"Aunt, I've already eaten. I had dinner with Master tonight. You don't need to work any more. Go to bed early." After Yi Han finished speaking, he turned and left the room, leaving Aunt Qingyang standing there, looking at his back with mixed feelings.

That night, the Marquis's residence was not peaceful. In the Sunset Garden, Zhang Chunru's angry curses echoed in the night sky, lasting almost half an hour.

However, it seemed as if no one heard this huge mansion. The door was deserted and even those who wanted to watch the fun were too lazy to come.

In the end, Zhang Chunru herself couldn't stand the cold wind anymore and had to return to her room in dejection.

The next morning, the old man got up early and asked the servants about the whereabouts of the general and the young lady. When he learned that they were still staying in Lingyun Pavilion, the old man couldn't help but frowned: "Why haven't you gone back yet? You should have left last night. The Censorate is short of manpower now, and it's time to need them to go back and help."

Mrs. Mo put on the old man's coat and advised him gently, "I heard that the second master has returned. With him and the elders in the clan taking care of things, there shouldn't be any problems. After all, Yunxi is a granddaughter who married out, so it's okay for her to go back later."

The servants reported that the general would return to the Imperial Household Department today to take charge of the seal. The old man was even more puzzled: "What about Yun Xi? Isn't she going back either? Today is the day of the funeral!"

Mrs. Mo comforted her, "Maybe something delayed her. If she doesn't come back, she will definitely come to pay her respects later. Then you can ask her in person."

The old man nodded, and told Uncle Zheng to invite Yun Xi to come over for breakfast and prepare to go out together. He always attached great importance to rules and etiquette, especially for funerals like this, he could not be absent.

When Uncle Zheng arrived at Lingyun Pavilion, Yi Han happened to be out.

After Yun Xi learned that the old man had summoned her, she smiled faintly and said to Uncle Zheng, "Uncle Zheng, please tell the old man that I will be there soon."

Uncle Zheng saw that she had no intention of leaving immediately, so he asked in confusion, "Madam, are you planning to go back to your parents' home today? Do you need me to take care of everything for you?"

Yun Xi smiled and shook her head: "No need, I don't plan to go back."

"Not going back?" Uncle Zheng was stunned when he heard this. "Young Madam means... not going back to attend the funeral?"

Yun Xi still kept smiling: "Yes, I won't go back."

"Why is this?" Uncle Zheng asked in surprise.

Yun Xi sighed softly: "No reason, it's just my personal decision. Uncle Zheng, go back first, I will go to the old man later."

Seeing this, Uncle Zheng did not ask any more questions and had to turn around and leave. After returning to the old man, he did not mention Yun Xi's decision, but just waited quietly.

Aunt Qingyang was tidying up Yunxi's clothes and asked worriedly, "Princess, how are you going to tell the old man about this? If he knew, he would definitely be furious."

Yun Xi answered firmly: "Don't worry, aunt, I will tell the old man directly. He will be furious, but I can't change my decision because of his anger."

Aunt Qingyang looked at Yun Xi's determined eyes. Although she felt worried, she also felt a little relieved.

She knew that Yun Xi was a child with her own opinions. Since she had made a decision, she would face it calmly no matter what the outcome was.
