The servant girl quickly added, “This servant thinks that person looks like, like His Majesty”
Lady wang froze His Majesty brought along a black cat to offer condolences? Has he lost all faith in the Grand Preceptor’s estate? She felt her legs go weak right before she collapsed to the ground
Meanwhile, Grand Preceptor Xie gave three sticks of incense to Ning Xiaoyao “Your Majesty, if you please”
“Put the incense sticks in the incense burner,” Lou Zigui instructed her quietly Ning Xiaoyao took the incense and stood awhile in front of the Old Madame’s casket, which was bordered by the altar table The coffin itself was the size of a double bed, so the old woman most likely found it too wide to sleep in (Author: Why are you worrying about those kind of details?)
“There’s fish,” Big Boss Black said in a low voice
Ning Xiaoyao glanced over at the altar table There was not only braised fish, but also various snacks, fruits, and white rice “The person’s already dead, but she still has to eat?” Ning Xiaoyao asked Big Boss Black
Big Boss Black simply looked at the fish as he drooled “It smells delicious”
“I don’t think we can eat this one, right?” Ning Xiaoyao didn’t move to take the fish
“You still oweup old debts again
Ning Xiaoyao glanced at Grand Preceptor Xie, wanting to ask hi intent eave her a start I haven’t even done anything yet, but I’ve already provoked him?
“The coffin looks pretty good,” Ning Xiaoyao attee the at for Grand Preceptor Xie’s reply His Majesty praised the coffin Do you have the will to thank him for that? No one could co people’s sore spots
Lou Zigui walked to Ning Xiaoyao’s side and murmured, “Put the incense sticks in the incense burner What if they burn your hands?” (Author: So that’s what you orried about, Supreme Commander…)
Ning Xiaoyao stuck the three incense sticks into the incense burner
“Be careful,” Big Boss Black said, “This incense burner looks expensive If you wreck it, you’ll have to pay the such words A dratty incense burner’s worth that much money too? She opened her eyes wide to study the burner, but found nothing noteworthy about it
She looked askance at Lou Zigui and asked, “Are things like this worth any money?”
Lou Zigui glanced at the incense burner and said, “No, this is just an incense burner”
Now Ning Xiaoyao could stop worrying She lifted a finger and flicked the incense burner, before rolling her eyes at Big Boss Black How could this piece of pottery be worth any money?
One of the Grand Preceptor’s stewards took this chance to arrive at the on Guard before he could announce hiuard asked
The shout attracted the attention of everyone inside, who looked back at the entrance Meanwhile, the incense burner i contact with Ning Xiaoyao’s finger flick
“It’s over, you’ve ruined it,” Big Boss Black said The guilty Ning Xiaoyao quickly withdrew her hand and stole a few peeks at the crowd Fortunately, nobody was paying attention to her right now
“What do we do?” Big Boss Black meowed
“Just pretend nothing happened,” Ning Xiaoyao patted Big Boss Black’s head The latter immediately decided to drop the subject
“What is it?” Grand Preceptor Xie asked his steward
Kneeling at the entrance, the steward replied, “Grand Preceptor, the eldest young master’s returned”
“What?” Grand Preceptor Xie gave a start
“H Xiaoyao spoke up “Isn’t he…”
“This is by His Majesty’s grace,” Lou Zigui tugged on Ning Xiaoyao’s hand as he spoke up “To allow Xie Anyi to return home and send off Old Madame for the final time”
Grand Preceptor Xie bowed towards Ning Xiaoyao “This subject thanks Your Majesty”
Now that he was even thanking her, what could Ning Xiaoyao do? She simply nodded and said, “Have Xie Anyi come in and offer some incense to the old madame” The steward obeyed and ran off to fetch Xie Anyi
“Father?” Xie Anshi+ felt that so was fishy, and quietly called for Grand Preceptor Xie, who simply waved a hand at his third son It was better if Xie Anshi+ kept quiet for now Soon enough, the steward brought over Xie Anyi, as still dressed in convict’s robes He fell to his knees outside the
Grand Preceptor Xie heaved a long sigh and said, “This is by His Majesty’s grace Why aren’t you giving thanks yet?”
Xie Anyi saw Ning Xiaoyao standing in front of his grandmother’s coffin and quickly lowered his head to cover up the wrath in his eyes Ning Xiaoyao said, “Stop kneeling and come offer some incense”
Xie Anyi koed three tiive bruises to his forehead He then took three sticks of incense from Xie Anqi and prepared to put the stood in the hall as tears flowed down her face, feeling distressed for her son’s sake
“But you broke the incense burner,” Big Boss Black whispered by Ning Xiaoyao’s ear “Is it alright to put in more incense sticks?”
“……” said Ning Xiaoyao That’s right, the burner’s ruined
Xie Anyi’s hands had hardly reached the incense burner when it suddenly cracked and broke into pieces The incense sticks fell off the table, while the ashes from the pot scattered all over the floor Xie Anyi was stunned by the sight
Grands, so she even broke the incense burner?!
Ning Xiaoyao sniffled a few ti!
