1352 I Only Want You 50 (2/2)
They began approaching the ancestral burial ground.
All of the Jin family ancestors had been buried in the ancestral graveyard.
She looked over to see that there were numerous tombstones, all of which had different designs and sizes.
”Those who have contributed most to the family will have a larger tombstone,” Jin Qingyan explained.
”Which tomb are we going to first?”
”That one over there. The one beside the largest tombstone. Do you see it?” he said while pointing toward the front.
Feeling extremely excited, An Xiaoning pulled him toward the grave. Jin Qingyan wrapped his arm around her waist and lifted the two of them up in the air. Within just seconds, they arrived at their destination.
The moment they landed, An Xiaoning shook her body and stared at the tombstone in front of her.
There was no photo of the late family member because he had passed away ages ago.
It belonged to Jin Yuanzhi, who had passed on at the young age of 35 years old.
”He passed away at such a young age.”
Jin Qingyan nodded and said, ”Seems like we must open this tomb.”
”Your father is definitely going to reprimand you. This belongs to your forefather, I don't think we're supposed to open it.”
”He's berated me so many times before. One more time won't make a difference.”
”…”
However, Mr. Jin intervened and began berating him just as he was about to open the tomb.
”You rascal, what are you trying to do? You can't just open our ancestor's tomb.”
”Father, I have my reasons.”
Mr. Jin hollered, ”I don't care what reasons you may have. You're not allowed to open it!”
However, Mr. Jin's words had no effect on Jin Qingyan at all. He had long lost his power over the latter.
Jin Yuanzhi's tomb was thus opened.
Jin Qingyan and An Xiaoning were the only ones left after the servants were dismissed. They had even prohibited Mr. Jin from tagging along.
The coffin was, strangely, extremely huge compared to the tombstone.
It wasn't too surprising, however.
There was a large gap in between each tombstone anyway.
The coffin was covered by a golden fabric.
The appearance of the coffin was well obscured beneath the fabric.
”You should go down and take a look,” An Xiaoning said while poking his arm. After all, it was his family's ancestor, and it was only right for him to go take a look.
Jin Qingyan made his way down slowly and picked up the piece of golden fabric.
As expected, he was greeted with the sight of a corpse.
He straightened his back and grabbed the fabric.
An Xiaoning took a closer look to see that there was nothing inside the coffin except the corpse.
Nothing was buried with him either.
They looked at each other in bewilderment.
”What's going on? There's nothing inside at all,” said An Xiaoning.
Jin Qingyan was astonished as well. He took a look carefully, only to discover that there was indeed nothing.
”Did you make a mistake?”
Jin Qingyan compared the two diagrams again and said, ”No, I didn't.”
”There's a blanket below the corpse. Could there be something there?”
Upon hearing her words, Jin Qingyan was at a sudden loss for what to do.
Since the blanket was beneath the corpse, he would have to touch the corpse in order to look at the blanket.
However, the Jin family ancestral rule strictly prohibits anyone from touching the corpses and graves of the late ancestors.
