Aunt Qian had always been frail and could not bear the pain of losing her mother. She had just passed out and was now recuperating on the couch in the side hall.

"Girl, if my aunt knows about this, I'm afraid..." Jian Jia hesitated.

If you tell the truth, Aunt Qian is afraid that she will pass out again. The girl always thinks carefully when doing things, how come she doesn't care about her health at all now!

She looked at Yun Jiao pitifully, fearing that the old lady had gone there. The girl was so sad that she couldn't be so considerate for a while.

Yun Jiao sighed: "You go ahead, I have my own reasons."

Jianjia responded and left.

Yun Jiao took a few deep breaths to calm down. Didn't she know that her aunt couldn't hold on anymore? But after all, she couldn't hide this matter. When she couldn't see her brother tomorrow, her aunt would definitely ask more questions.

Instead of waiting until then to tell her the truth, it would be better to tell her earlier so that she could recover earlier. After all, she would have to send her grandmother to her grave in three days.

Turning back and walking to the door of the hall, she saw everyone busy going back and forth in the hall. Her second uncle was kneeling in the center of the hall burning paper money, and her second aunt was also kneeling beside him to accompany her. She had no other choice at the moment, so she had to bite the bullet and step forward.

"Uncle, aunt." Yun Jiao bowed.

"Yunjiao," Qian Shihai raised his head: "What's wrong?"

"Father sent someone to send a message saying that my brother's academy is far away from here. I was afraid that it would delay the auspicious time for my mother-in-law's burial, so I didn't ask my brother to come..." Yunjiao lowered her head and her voice became quieter as she spoke. This is a great act of unfilial piety. , where did the father put his brother!

Before Qian Shihai could speak, Mrs. Ding snorted coldly: "There is such a grandson in the world. He is still a scholar. When my mother-in-law died, she didn't come to pay her last respects..."

Just when she was about to talk nonsense, a young man hurriedly walked in front of the three people: "Master, madam, the old lady's family has arrived."

Mrs. Qian was an only daughter. Her parents had only one daughter in their lifetime, and she had no brothers or sisters. This family member was her cousin, her uncle's brother.

Fortunately, Mrs. Qian cannot be a serious mother, otherwise Qian Shihai would not be able to spend paper money at home so peacefully.

According to the custom of the Dayuan Dynasty, if the mother dies at home, the son must go to his mother's family, kneel down and kowtow, to show that he has not taken good care of his mother, and to apologize to his maternal ancestors.

When Mrs. Ding heard that Mrs. Qian's mother-in-law had arrived, she immediately changed her face and didn't care about embarrassing Yunjiao. She knelt down in front of Mrs. Qian's body and opened her mouth to cry loudly. While crying, she narrated:

"My good grandma, why did you leave like this? You have suffered all your life and never enjoyed any blessings. How could you be willing to leave behind these big and small things?"

Yun Jiao was stunned as she watched her cry in a catchy cadence, as if she had learned it specially. The only thing not beautiful was that there were only two forced tears on her face.

Compared with Mrs. Ding, her eldest aunt Wen, who just covered her lips and sobbed and shed tears, was obviously not a bit inferior.

"Uncle is here," Qian Shihai greeted him.

Yun Jiao also looked at the tall and thin old man who came in. She thought that her uncle and grandfather had come just in time. She originally thought that she would be scolded by her second aunt in public today, but unexpectedly she escaped. Thinking of this I couldn't help but feel happy.

"Yunjiao, Yunjiao!" Someone outside the door called her softly.

Yun Jiao turned around and saw the half-figure leaning out of the door, and hurriedly slipped out quietly.

"Sister." She walked out and held the visitor's hand, and burst into tears: "Grandma... is gone."

The person who came was Ji Yaru, the eldest daughter of Yunjiao's fourth aunt's family.

She is two years older than Yunjiao. When she was young, her grandmother was afraid that Yunjiao would be lonely and helpless, so she would always take Ji Yaru to stay two or three times a year and let her stay with Yunjiao. Therefore, among all the aunts and sisters, Yunjiao is the

I have a particularly good relationship with her.

"Yunjiao, don't cry," Ji Yaru wiped away the tears on her face, but she couldn't help but shed tears herself.

The two sisters looked at each other without saying a word, nor did they hold each other's hands and cry. They just held each other's hands and cried silently.

Until Jian Jia turned around from the side hall and was about to speak to persuade, she saw Hibiscus running in in a hurry.

"Girl, please get out of the way quickly," Mu Jin panted: "The second uncle's wife's sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhou, is here again, and this time she has brought her grandson with her."

Mrs. Zhou is Ding's natal family. According to custom, when Mrs. Ding's mother-in-law dies, her natal family will come to pay homage to her.

The so-called mourning is to pull pure white brocade and hang it on the main beam of the main hall. A large "Dian" is hung in the center, and two large cloth flowers are tied with black cloth on both sides.

This is done to show that the daughter-in-law's mother-in-law attaches great importance to her married daughter. If the daughter-in-law's mother-in-law dies and the mother-in-law's family does not come to save her soul, it means that the mother-in-law's family cannot be relied on and is allowed to be bullied by the husband's family.

When Yun Jiao heard this, she didn't bother to wipe her tears, so she pulled Ji Yaru to the side hall.

In the side hall, Nanny Qu was taking care of Qian Fang Pavilion. When she saw a few people coming in, she hurriedly waved her hand to signal them to be silent.

Yun Jiao and the others walked in the door quietly.

Aunt Qu bowed and said in a low voice: "Girl, my aunt took some soothing decoction and just fell asleep."

Yun Jiao nodded, walked over and took a look at Aunt Qian on the couch, and saw that although her face was pale, her breathing was steady, and she felt relieved.

Then he pulled Ji Yaru and sat down on a chair nearby.

Ji Yaru then had time to ask: "What's wrong? What happened to you, Mr. Zhou? Look, she came and frightened you."

Yun Jiao then whispered to her briefly what Zhou had mentioned last time.

"How could such a thing happen?" Ji Yaru was greatly surprised: "Tsk, tsk, even the Zhou family can do this. She wants to take advantage of others' danger!"

"Who says it's not the case? She just looks at our girl because she is young and doesn't understand anything. She wants to rely on her second uncle's wife to be the first to win the moon!" Jian Jia was angry at the side.

You don't even know what you are, but you still want to take advantage of her girl, bah!

"Look at what makes you angry," Ji Yaru joked to Jianjia: "Your girl is not angry at all, but she looks like this and doesn't know why she just asked you to marry her."

"Auntie!" Jian Jia blushed and stamped her feet.

"Sister, stop teasing her," Yun Jiao tried to smooth things over: "Why haven't you seen Ya Ming? Didn't she come with you?"

Ji Yaming is Shang Yaru's biological sister. She is only five years old this year. She also has a younger brother, one year younger than her, named Ji Ya'an. Yunjiao's fourth aunt has these three children.

"As soon as she came, she pestered Ya'an and went to look for my mother. Don't you know that she can't live without her for a moment?" Ji Yaru said about her sister, curling her lips in disgust.

"She is still young, and she is attached to her fourth aunt..." Yun Jiao was interrupted by a knock on the door outside before she finished speaking.

"Fangguan, open the door quickly and see who comes to see you!"
