"Ajin, sometimes people can't be too kind. Being too kind will only make you lose important things." Liu Zhengqing warned her not to always release her kindness. If people are too kind, they will have reservations and will be kidnapped by the secular world.

"No, I'm not kind, I just don't want to be assimilated." Lin Jin didn't want to lose her original heart because of other people's evil, "She wouldn't want to see me like this."

Liu Zhengqing's lips were stretched into a straight line, and he didn't say anything else. He just accompanied Lin Jin and watched the coffin being reburied in a Feng Shui treasured site.

Lin Jin felt upset and placed offerings in front of the new grave. There was little sunshine in winter, and today was even more gloomy than usual, making people feel depressed for no reason.

It suddenly started snowing lightly. Liu Zhengqing asked someone to bring an umbrella and stood by, holding the umbrella for Lin Jin while watching her burn paper for Song Shixia. The newly repaired grave was soon covered with a layer of snow.

"Go back, and come visit her next time." Liu Zhengqing pulled her up, "The road will be hard to walk on if the snow gets heavy."

Lin Jin took a deep breath and felt his entire lungs were cold, as if the cold wind was blowing into his body: "Okay."

The heavy snow quickly covered their footprints, leaving only lonely graves, as if no one had ever been there.

At the Cui Mansion in the capital, Cui Xian was reading a book in the yard. She was the daughter of the second branch of the master's family and did not live in the capital for long, so her yard was not very good. As she was not young anymore and her father had passed away, she came to the capital to let other elders in the family decide her marriage.

Cui Xian thought of her mother's words and sighed slightly.

She didn't care whether she got married or not, but she couldn't disobey her parents' orders. Besides, her grandmother had always favored the eldest wife. Now that she had lost her father, her grandmother would definitely not let her stay at home.

Fortunately, the Cui family is a large family, and even if her grandmother doesn't like her, she will not rush her marriage.

"Miss, the princess is here." The maid came in and announced, and then Fang Yuzhu stepped over the threshold and walked in.

"Sister Princess." Cui Xian quickly stood up to greet her, "Why are you here?"

Fang Yuzhu asked someone to put away the things she brought, and then looked at her: "Why didn't you tell me that your family was looking for a husband for you today? You didn't even go to the front to watch, but just hid in the house. You really don't take yourself seriously."

Although the women usually don't show up at marriages that their parents help arrange, it's okay to take a look from behind the screen.

Cui Xian smiled slightly: "After all, she is my grandmother. Although she is not very close to me, she will not harm me."

"These are two different things." Fang Yuzhu grabbed her hand and pulled her out. "I'll go with you to have a look. You have to know what you promised so that people can feel at ease. If you are not satisfied, you can still tell me. Otherwise, what will happen if they decide on you without knowing it."

Fang Yuzhu was worried about this, otherwise she wouldn't have been so anxious to ask Lin Jin to arrange a meeting between Cui Xian and Liu Zhengqing.

"If you're not living well, then just get a divorce. It's not a big deal for a Daxia woman to get a divorce." Cui Xian felt helpless and amused, thinking this was too serious. "Every family has gone through this."

"Bullshit!" Fang Yuzhu turned around and glared at her. "No means no. Even if a divorce is easy, why should I go through all this suffering? I can marry the right person for the first time, why should I go to a home without a destiny and suffer?"

Cui Xian was hurriedly dragged to the front hall by her and sat behind the screen listening to their conversation. Fang Yuzhu was not Cui Xian. She bravely took a look to see which family the person was from, but saw a strange face and immediately frowned.

She thought that maybe he was not from the capital, so her brows relaxed slightly and she decided to listen again to see what he heard.

Intermarriage among the five surnames is a common thing, and the five surnames are basically related. The person the Cui family asked Cui Xian to see this time is the eleventh son of the Longxi Li family. He is a relatively upright person. Although he is not outstanding among so many sons of the Li family, he is not uneducated.

"Li Shiyi?" Fang Yuzhu frowned immediately, wondering why this sounded so familiar. When she thought of something, her expression immediately turned ugly, and she whispered, "Isn't Li Shiyi engaged to your Cui Si? How did it become you?"

Li Shiyi could be considered a good match, but she had high standards and felt that it was unfair for Cui Xian to be with Li Shiyi. Moreover, almost all the young men and women in the capital knew about Li Shiyi's marriage to Cui Si. Now that it was Cui Xian's turn, she didn't know what others would say behind her back.

"What's the matter? Is it that Cui Si doesn't want to get married?" Fang Yuzhu frowned and did not approve of this marriage. It was true that Li Shiyi was a man who could make people happy, but once the marriage went through, Cui Xian would definitely be criticized for stealing her sister's marriage.

Cui Xian pressed Fang Yuzhu's hand and raised her index finger, not wanting her to leave now, otherwise it would make both families look bad. "Don't worry, the marriage will definitely not be decided now. If you want to go out, you have to wait until the Li family leaves."

The Cui family still has some courtesy.

Fang Yuzhu looked uneasy and continued to ask Cui Xian, "What exactly is going on between Cui Si and Li Shiyi?"

Their marriage had been planned for several years, and now they were of the right age. I heard they would get married in the spring, so how come Cui Xian suddenly became the one?

Cui Xian smiled bitterly. She had never expected that this marriage would fall on her head. "Actually... Fourth sister ran away. She ran away before winter came. No one knows where she went. She only left a letter saying that she had thought it through. She and Li Jia Shiyilang were just childhood sweethearts, and there was no romance. The marriage was called off."

"Hu..." Fang Yuzhu covered her mouth, thinking that she couldn't let the people in front hear her, so she lowered her voice. "Even if she wants to leave, she should have made it clear before leaving. What's the point of leaving such a mess? In the end, it will hurt others."

She left so cleanly that others suffered.

Fang Yuzhu continued to listen with a sullen face. She was biased to begin with, and now that Cui Xian was wronged again, she could no longer look favorably upon Li Shiyi. Cui Si had run away, but Li Shiyi was still there. Why didn't the two families cancel the engagement first, but directly discuss replacing the person?

The silver charcoal in the brazier was burning brightly, so I didn't feel cold even without a hand warmer.

After Lin Jin moved Song Shixia's grave, she has been busy organizing the plan. Although she confirmed with Fang Zhining at that time that there were no problems, she came back to check it again and found that there were still omissions that needed to be supplemented.

Lianyi walked in very lightly and lowered her voice: "Madam, Taoist Qingweizi is here."

Lin Jin was concentrating on revising the plan and didn't pay attention: "What? Who's here?"

"Master Qingweizi." Lianyi repeated, "I am waiting for you."

The reputations of Qingweizi and Xianglian can be said to be known to everyone in Daxia. Neither of them is a high-ranking official, but they really have real talents and knowledge. During the wars in Daxia, they have helped the people to overcome difficulties time and time again, and many people have benefited from them. Even those who do not believe in gods and Buddhas will basically respect these two names when they hear them.

Qingweizi spends most of his time in the south and rarely comes to the north. The last time he appeared in the capital was many years ago.

Lin Jin stood up quickly: "Take me to have a look."

She had only heard of Qingweizi but had never met him. She didn't expect to meet him today and he was still waiting for her.

According to Song Shiqiu, this person is just like Xianglian, a man of great ability. No matter what, even if we cannot be on good terms with him, we cannot neglect or make enemies with him.

Qingweizi did not wait in the front hall with other guests. It was even a bit rude of him to go directly to the backyard and stand at the gate of Fuyun Courtyard, looking at the plaque.

He heard footsteps behind him, turned slightly, and nodded slightly to Lin Jin: "Miss Lin." The Taoist boy following him also clasped his fists in salute.
