The two adults burst into laughter
Aunt Awang chatted with the, she said to the Fourth Lady: ”Although Tiange woke up, we don't know if there's anything wrong still It would be better for us to ask a physician to exaain”
The Fourth Lady nodded ”It's unfortunate thatto ask a physician again”
”What are you talking about? You have to take whatever help there is Besides, helping each other is soht to do You should just rest up I'll asktown in the afternoon… I'ht Sister-in-law, take care”
The Fourth Lady had just seen Aunt Awang off when she found her little niece co here?”
Mo Tianqiao tie? I came to see her” Because the Fourth Lady had always been sick, the family had never allowed Tianqiao to visit Therefore, Tianqiao was unfamiliar with this Fourth Aunt
”You're really considerate Tiange has already woken up Coe was surprised to see Mo Tianqiao walking into the rooe! Eat your food properly” The Fourth Lady stared at her with a disapproving gaze before once again s towards Mo Tianqiao ”Tianqiao, take a seat Fourth Aunt will cook you a bowl of noodles Which would you prefer - long noodles or thin noodles?”
Mo Tianqiao hastily shook her head and said, ”No need, Fourth Aunt I already had a meal before I came here” Her fah she didn't take those words too seriously, as a guest in an outsider's home, she couldn't be too informal
The Fourth Lady didn't force her to eat She took soht theht… They're newly-picked, fresh plu from next door”
Mo Tianqiao hastily said, ”Thank you, Fourth Aunt”
Seeing that she was very polite, the Fourth Lady praised her again for a while Soon after, the Fourth Lady went into the inner roo the two children to talk to each other
”Tiange, how could you fall in the Ancestral Hall? My father said you even broke an ancestor's e wanted to tell her about the things she saever, she hesitated for a moment and said, ”I… I wasn't careful”
”Grandfather was very angry when he found out A girl entered the Ancestral Hall and even broke an ancestor's memorial tablet! He said it was disrespectful towards the ancestors At first, Grandfather even said he would punish you But other Grandfathers said you're still young and insensible, so punishi+ng you would be useless Then Grandfather's anger subsided”
Mo Tiange lowered her head and concentrated on her food when she heard she angered her grandfather Because her grandfather didn't like her and her 's alright now Which part of you was hit? Does it still hurt?”
”My head still hurts a bit but everything else is fine” She was quite puzzled when she tried to recall the Ancestor's irls enter the Ancestral Hall when the ancestor on the topmost shelf was obviously a woman?”
”Eh? How do you know?”
”I… I saw the name It was a wo in her life However, she inexplicably thought that such an unfathomable matter shouldn't be told to others, especially since that spirit said her mother was beyond help She didn't want her mother to find out about it
”I don't know either I'll ask Grandfather when I go hoet it, you don't have to ask Grandfather ain”
Mo Tianqiao pondered it a bit and felt that Mo Tiange was right Thus she dropped the subject and continued to ask, ”When will you go back to school?”
”Since I'o to to school toether”
”Okay”
