Alas, time is unforgiving. The two old men are already in their twilight years. Going to attend the funeral of their peers, it is inevitable that ripples will appear in their hearts, like withered leaves in autumn, gently swaying in the bleak wind. General Lin decided to take the old lady out for a few days to travel in the hope of relieving the depression in his heart. This filial piety is reasonable. But the younger generations in the family may have to be busy and take care of many trivial matters on their behalf. Speaking of the young lady, the old man couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. Her attitude was really chilling.

Seeing this, Mrs. Mo felt even more aggrieved. She said bluntly, "When it comes to attending a funeral, the most important thing is the feeling. If you don't have true feelings, even if you go, it will only add to the sadness. Why force yourself to go through the formalities?" Upon hearing this, the old man's face darkened and he snorted coldly, his words full of dissatisfaction and disappointment with the young lady: "She doesn't even have this little bit of feeling, which shows that her heart is as cold as ice."

In Lingyun Pavilion, Aunt Qingyang saw all of this. She knew the old man's temperament very well. He was stubborn and traditional, and had an almost paranoid adherence to etiquette. She was also a loyal believer in the emperor's concept of governing the country with benevolence and filial piety.

Therefore, he naturally could not tolerate the young lady's behavior.

Aunt Qingyang thought to herself that if this matter really got out of hand, it would definitely cause quite a stir.

She turned to look at Yun Xi who was concentrating on painting. Her deft hands were drawing on the paper, as if she could depict all the beauty and tranquility in the world.

Aunt Qingyang couldn't bear to disturb the tranquility, but Yun Xi seemed to see through her thoughts and took the initiative to suggest: "Let's go to the shop to check it out, maybe it can change our mood." Aunt Qingyang nodded in agreement, and the two of them took Mei Qinglanxiang and walked out of the mansion together.

As soon as she stepped out of the mansion, she saw Sima Zhang coming hurriedly. He walked straight through the crowd without looking around, as if he didn't notice Yun Xi's existence.

Yun Xi ignored his indifference, just smiled indifferently and passed him by.

Mei Qing was upset and muttered, "This guy is so arrogant, as if we owe him something." Aunt Qingyang consoled her, "Ignore him, let's go our own way."

When they reached the carriage, Yun Xi instructed Mei Qing, "Go to the Silichang and tell the general that I will not be returning to the mansion for dinner tonight. After inspecting the shops, I will go directly to General Lin's mansion." Mei Qing asked in confusion, "Does the general need to go with us?" Yun Xi shook her head and explained, "Let him go back first. If the old man asks, he will have an explanation. I will go alone so that I can have some peace and quiet."

So, Mei Qing went back home and took the horse away, while Yun Xi took Lanxiang with her and began to inspect the shop.

Although she was absent-minded, she still maintained the necessary seriousness and meticulousness.

After completing the inspection, she went directly to General Lin’s mansion without staying for long.

Outside General Lin's mansion, servants were busy loading items onto the carriage. Seeing Yun Xi coming, the doorman hurriedly informed her.

Yun Xi walked into the mansion and saw everyone waiting in the main hall.

She bowed and greeted them first, then sat down next to the old lady and asked with concern: "Grandpa, grandma, are you going on a long journey?" The old general smiled and explained: "Your grandma is not in good health, I thought I would take her out to relax while she can still walk."

Yun Xi felt a surge of sadness when she heard this. She knew very well that the old lady had deep affection for her grandfather, and she also knew that her biggest regret in this life was that she had not been able to travel around the country with her grandfather.

Now, she finally has the opportunity to realize this wish, but she has to be cautious due to physical reasons.

Yun Xi leaned on the old lady's shoulder and comforted her in a soft voice.

At the same time, she also noticed that her eldest daughter-in-law was secretly wiping away tears, and although her grandfather remained silent, the sadness in his eyes was difficult to conceal.

Yun Xi was slightly surprised, but she did not ask the reason directly. She just cleverly changed the subject. She took her eldest daughter-in-law's hand and said with a smile: "Aunt, you said last time that you would give me a jade bracelet, and I have been thinking about it. Why don't you go and get it now?"

Upon hearing this, the old lady couldn't help but laugh and said, "This child, it's just a string of jade bracelets, is it worth your concern?
