The Poisonous Wife: Cute Baby Comes to Rebirth with Me

The chopsticks were gently put down, and a subtle silence filled the air. "Then should we still go there today?" Mrs. Mo asked softly, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes.

"I originally planned to go over and lend a helping hand, but since she seems so indifferent, let's give up today and go again when Zheng Ri sets up the mourning hall.

"The old man said slowly, his voice revealing a bit of helplessness and determination.

He pondered for a moment, then turned to Uncle Zheng and instructed, "You go to the Censorate immediately and find out if they need any help, whether it's financial support or manpower assistance. As long as they are short of anything, come back and report to me immediately. We in the Marquisate will definitely help you with all our strength." "Yes, sir!" Uncle Zheng responded and left with firm steps.

Mo was well aware of the old man's consistent attitude towards matters of life and death. He always believed that the deceased should be given due respect and mourning.

Perhaps because of his age, he has become more sensitive to such things. The old man sighed and said, "He didn't receive the love he deserved during his lifetime, and even the most basic worship was skipped after his death. What can such a descendant do?"

Mrs. Mo added, "I heard that the old lady is quite harsh to the young lady. Perhaps there is a long-standing grudge between the two. But the young lady is young after all, so it is understandable that she has not completely let it go." The old man frowned upon hearing this: "Grudge? Even if there is a deep hatred, we are still a family after all! Besides, when Yun Xi was in Cangzhou, the old lady was far away in the Western Frontier. The two of them didn't spend much time together. Where did the deep hatred come from? As a younger generation, how can you harbor resentment towards your ancestors? Aren't the good intentions of our ancestors and parents all for the sake of future generations?"

The more the old man thought about it, the angrier he became. The young lady's cold attitude made him feel that it was a disdain for the entire Marquis' Mansion.

"Come on, prepare the horses! Go to General Lin's mansion and tell the old general or the old lady that the young lady does not want to go back for the funeral, and ask them to discipline her on her behalf!" His words were filled with unquestionable majesty.

"Yes!" The servant outside the door responded and left quickly. The old man snorted coldly: "I thought Jiang Long was biased against Madam, and Madam's behavior was indeed biased. I wanted to let the young Madam take over the inner house. Fortunately, I haven't officially ordered it, otherwise I really made a mistake!"

Mrs. Mo drank her porridge quietly without interrupting.

When the old man mentioned how Jiang Long might react to this matter, she responded softly: "We need to observe this matter further, and it is not appropriate to draw conclusions too early." But the old man was relentless: "What else is there to see? Tell me, how can the descendants not attend the funeral of their grandmother?"

Mrs. Mo had no choice but to continue drinking her porridge, too lazy to argue with him.

Soon, Uncle Zheng came back and reported: "Grandpa, the old general's mansion has already known about this."

"When will the old general come?" the old man asked anxiously. "The old general and the old lady did not mention the specific time, but just said that they knew about it." Uncle Zheng's answer made the old man a little confused.

"No? What do they mean?" The old man looked confused. "The old general and the old lady just said they knew, and then let me come back."

Uncle Zheng reported the truth. "How strange..." the old man said to himself.

Mrs. Mo said calmly, "Maybe they are busy. They may come in the evening."

The old man nodded in agreement: "The old general is busy with military affairs, and he may not be free now."

However, Uncle Zheng's next words surprised the old man: "No, the old general and the old lady seemed to be planning to go out for a few days. When I went there, I saw them packing their luggage."

"Going out? You have to pack your luggage? You're not even going to Madam Xiao's funeral? They're your in-laws!" the old man asked in disbelief.

Uncle Zheng explained: "The old lady doesn't look very well. It may be a relapse of her old illness. The old general feels sorry for her, so he doesn't want her to travel so much to attend the funeral."

"So that's it..." The old man suddenly realized, "I heard that the old lady often got sick when she was in the border town. I didn't expect that she couldn't fully recover after returning to the capital..."
