Zhou Wuwei walked out of the house, and Ye Jintang asked Luzhu to find the clothes she would wear tomorrow.

It was a plain white brocade dress, pure white without any patterns.

"I won't wear any headdress tomorrow. Just a wooden hairpin will do."

"Isn't the girl too plain?"

"will not."

Although Ye Jintang had never met Ye Li and Madam Wen, information and objects related to the two of them appeared around her from time to time over such a long period of time.

Almost all the furniture she is currently using was the dowry that the two prepared for the original owner.

The money she spent was all saved by the two of them.

It is neither reasonable nor moral for Ye Jintang to neglect them.

It was her duty to wear plain clothes and watch them being buried in the Ye family's ancestral home.

The next day, just after daybreak, Ye Jintang washed, changed his clothes and went to pay his respects to Old Madam Ye, and told her that today was the day that Ye Li and his wife would be buried.

Old Madam Ye still didn't see her. She only asked Nanny Sun to tell her to go early and come back early, and not to stay outside for too long.

"Madam, the Sixth Miss is even more outrageous today. She is wearing a plain white dress."

Old Madam Ye, who was leaning on the couch, snorted coldly.

"It's really unlucky."

"Who said it wasn't? There are elders at home. How can Sixth Miss dress like this?"

"The two maids Yunshuang and Hexiang have been serving for quite a while. Did they find out anything?"

"The Sixth Miss didn't let them in at all. They wanted to ask the maids in the house, but they were all tight-lipped and we couldn't get anything out of them."

"Looking at that unlucky thing, I feel so upset. No, I can't let that damn girl live so happily."

Old Madam Ye sat up straight and quickly thought of a way to deal with Ye Jintang.

Whenever she saw Ye Jintang living a comfortable life, she felt upset. She would only feel happy when Ye Jintang was in trouble.

"Hasn't that little girl always been yelling for her parents to be buried in the ancestral tomb? Now that her wish has been fulfilled, it's just the right time for her to go to the White Horse Temple and pray for her parents."

"Why would the old lady do this? Isn't that good for Sixth Master?"

"The blessing I'm talking about is not just an ordinary blessing."

Having lived in the rear house for a long time, the old lady has so many ways to torment people.

"Sixth girl likes to copy scriptures to pray for blessings, so let her go to the White Horse Temple and copy some scriptures for me, an old woman, to pray for blessings."

As she spoke, a fierce look appeared on Old Madam Ye's face.

"Going to the temple to copy scriptures, of course, cannot be as comfortable as at home. To show piety, the sixth girl must bathe, change clothes, and kneel in front of the Buddha statue to copy."

"Before copying, you have to fast for three days. During these three days, you can't eat any meat or fish. You can't eat too much rice. You have to eat only grains at a time. 81 is a good number."

"When I recover from my illness, I will let Sixth Girl come back."

Nanny Sun, who was standing by, was stunned when she heard this. How could a man survive if he only ate 81 grains of rice in one meal?

And they had to kneel down to copy the scriptures.

As long as the old lady doesn't give the order, the Sixth Miss cannot return to the Marquis' Mansion even if her legs are broken by kneeling.

"The old lady still has a way. After this incident, the Sixth Miss will definitely be completely subdued."

"Well, we can't bring her personal maids with us either. Let her take He Xiang and Lou Mama with her. If she wants to use the money she has, she will naturally ask them for help. By then, they will be able to find out everything about her."

"A few days ago, she didn't return the silver, and invited several monks to chant sutras at the ancestral hall. The sixth girl definitely has silver, but she hid it too well."

"What the old lady said is absolutely right. It is because I am too stupid that I failed to handle this matter properly. I will go and tell He Xiang and Madam Lou to take this opportunity to make sure that the matter is done properly."

Ye Jintang sat in a carriage and headed to the Ye family's ancestral tomb on the outskirts of the capital.

"Ah."

Ye Jintang covered his mouth with a handkerchief and couldn't help sneezing again.

"Did the girl catch a cold last night after kicking off the quilt?"

Liuli, who was sitting to Ye Jintang's right, quickly reached out to help Ye Jintang feel his pulse.

"It's okay. I don't know who is whispering about me behind my back."

Ye Jintang rubbed his nose.

"The capital is too cold. After sitting in the carriage for a while, my hands and feet are cold."

Luzhu couldn't help rubbing her hands. She knew it was cold outside before she went out, so she wore a thick brocade jacket on purpose. But even so, after only two cups of tea, she felt very cold.

"Take it."

A hand warmer fell steadily into Luzhu's arms.

"This is the girl's hand warmer. This slave cannot use it."

Luzhu was very clear about her identity and did not dare to overstep the mark. She quickly returned the hand warmer to Ye Jintang.

"We are outside, there is no need to follow those rules. My cotton gloves are enough."

This time when he went out, Ye Jintang only brought Luzhu and Liuli with him. The others stayed at the Marquis' Mansion to look after the house. The carriage belonged to the Marquis' Mansion. Only after they went out did they realize how cold it was to sit in the carriage motionless.

Luzhu gratefully held the hand warmer and warmed her hands for a while, then gave the hand warmer to Liuli to warm her hands as well.

"We are going up the mountain today. It will probably be even colder there with the howling north wind. Put more charcoal in your hand warmer before you go up the mountain to avoid freezing."

"Yes."

Lu Zhu quickly agreed. They seldom went out of the mansion, so they didn't know that the north wind outside was so strong. If she had known it was so cold, she would have brought a few more hand warmers.

The carriage drove along Chang'an Avenue and soon left the city.

After walking along the wide official road for more than half an hour, we finally saw the Ye family's ancestral tomb.

It stands to reason that it is impossible to build a tomb in winter, but the elders have their own abilities, and no one knows what means they used, but they actually bought a ready-made tomb.

Ye Jintang didn't ask any further questions. As long as the job was done, she didn't care what means were used.

As soon as Ye Jintang arrived at the grave, various ceremonies began. The monks chanted scriptures around the grave again and again, and Ye Jinwei closed his eyes and chanted in a low voice.

After all the ceremonies were over, the two coffins were lowered and the grave was slowly covered. Ye Jintang, who had been standing by, felt his legs were frozen.

"Sixth Miss, please burn some incense for your parents."

Ye Mushan brought some lighted incense and handed it to Ye Jintang.

"Thank you clan elder."

Ye Jintang burned incense very piously, and also burned a lot of paper objects and gold ingots for Ye Li and his wife.

"I will also burn a stick of incense for Master Ye."

Jiang Zhi's voice suddenly sounded from behind Ye Jintang, scaring her.

"When did Lord Jiang come?"

Ye Jintang turned around and saw Jiang Zhi, dressed in a black brocade robe, just three or five meters behind her.

"I've been here for a while. I saw that Miss Six looked very sad, so I didn't want to disturb her."

Jiang Zhi took the incense from the servant Lechuan and worshipped Ye Li and his wife very respectfully.

"Thank you, Lord Jiang. If it weren't for your help that day, my parents wouldn't have been buried in the ancestral tomb so easily."

As she spoke, Ye Jintang stepped forward and saluted Jiang Zhi. She was grateful to him from the bottom of her heart and it was not just for show.

"Sixth Miss, you are too polite. It's cold on the mountain. You should go down the mountain early."

Everything was arranged. Ye Jintang took a look at the brand new grave, responded, and followed Jiang Zhi down the mountain.
