I'm reborn, so it's not too much to kill the one who traveled through the book, right?

The mother and son did not expect that the lady, who was in high spirits just now, would fall down again so soon.

Just by looking at the lady's face, you can tell that she doesn't have much time left.

The lady leaned on the pillow, staring at Aunt Hua, "Xiao Hua..."

The master and servant have been together for decades, and Madam Hua can understand what the other person means just by looking at her.

Aunt Hua nodded and said, "Don't worry, Master. I've remembered it all!"

After hearing Nanny Hua's assurance, the lady slowly closed her eyes.

Before Shen Rong and her son could react, Aunt Hua burst into tears.

"Miss... wuwuwu..."

Aunt Hua wiped away her tears and shouted loudly, "The Madam has passed away!"

With Nanny Hua's voice, the news of the lady's death quickly reached the ears of the servants in the mansion.

The lady never waited for Changsheng to come back and passed away on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

As soon as the lady closed her eyes, a servant went to Chen's yard to report the news.

When Chen heard the news of her mother-in-law's death, she was so excited that she immediately stood up from her chair and accidentally broke a teacup.

"Really? That old lady... my mother-in-law is really dead?" Chen's mouth curled up slightly, and then she immediately cried, "Oh my god! How could you just leave like this?"

Chen took a handkerchief, covered her face with it, and howled all the way to Minghui Courtyard.

When she entered the yard, Nanny Hua had already prepared the lady's appearance.

As soon as Chen entered the room, she was about to pounce on the lady, but fortunately she was stopped in time.

Shen Rong had never experienced such things before, and just when she was at a loss, the housekeeper Gong Shaoshan took over the funeral arrangements for the old lady.

The day when the lady passed away was the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it was not appropriate for the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion to report the death to other families on that day.

Shen Rong learned about Butler Gong's concerns from him, and after thinking about it, she decided to postpone the announcement of the death for two days.

But notifying the Gong family cannot be postponed.

It was not until the fourth day of the Lunar New Year that the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion reported the news.

The gate of Pingyang Marquis Mansion was hung with white banners on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

When people who didn't know the truth saw this, they thought that Shen Rong had finally accepted her fate and reported the death to Marquis Pingyang, but when they thought about it, they felt something was wrong.

You refused to accept your fate before, so now even if you are sure that Marquis Pingyang is dead, you won't hang up the white flag on New Year's Day, right?

For this reason, many people went to inquire about the news. Not long after, everyone heard the news that the lady of Pingyang Marquis's Mansion had passed away.

It was not until the fourth day of the New Year that the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion asked servants to inform the homes of relatives and friends.

Soon, the Li family, the madam's family, sent representatives to burn incense, and people also came from the Chen family, Zhou family, Yang family, the Shen couple, and the Yiyong Earl's Mansion.

Over the years, the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion has had little presence in the capital. In addition, the in-laws are not prominent and there are not many close friends, so the funeral inevitably seemed a bit deserted.

Butler Gong and Shen Rong were not surprised by this.

Originally people thought that the funeral would be held in such a quiet manner, but unexpectedly, on the fifth day of the New Year, the eunuchs from the palace actually came, burned a stick of incense for the empress dowager, and prepared a funeral gift, which shocked the noble families in the capital.

It has been many years since the Pingyang Marquis Mansion withdrew from the social circle of the nobles. Although the ancestors of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion were once wealthy, they have long since become a second-rate noble family, with only a nicer name.

These noble families have long stopped having any dealings with the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion.

It can be said that the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion has no relationship at all with these noble families.

If there is no friendship, there is no need to go to the funeral.

But now the Queen Mother has been alarmed and has sent people to burn incense. What a great honor this is!

Everyone also immediately realized that although there were only a few old, weak, sick and disabled people left in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, they were obviously being remembered by the people above.

If we don’t win them over now, when will we?

For this reason, after the eunuchs in the palace lit a stick of incense and left the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion, the famous noble families in the capital all sent people to deliver funeral gifts and pay tribute to the lady.

The Pingyang Marquis' Mansion was suddenly crowded with people, and there was an endless stream of people coming to burn incense.

As a woman, Shen Rong naturally did not need to greet or see off guests. All of this was done by the Gong family's clansmen and housekeepers. Shen Rong only needed to stay in the mourning hall with her two children and bow to thank those who came to burn incense.

The mother and her two children don't have to deal with any guests or anything, but they are still very tired.

After seven days of keeping her body, on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the lady was finally laid to rest.

The funeral was finally over. Shen Rong had just breathed a sigh of relief, and before she and her two children had time to rest for two days, Chen started to make trouble.

"Ms. Shen, you are a farm girl after all. You probably don't know the rules of our noble families in the capital. As a daughter-in-law, you have to learn the rules and serve your mother-in-law. Come to my yard tomorrow morning and I will teach you the rules."

As soon as Chen entered the room, she looked arrogant.

Now that the mountain above her head is finally gone and there is no one to protect Shen, she can finally turn the tables and be the master of her own affairs. She wants to show off to her mother-in-law.

Shen Rong raised her head from the favor account book and looked at Chen, feeling extremely annoyed.

This Chen is really tactless. She knows that the couple doesn't treat her as an elder, but she still comes in front of her to seek attention. It's really annoying.

However, she was her mother-in-law in public. Shen Rong could not disobey her elders in public, not for herself, but for the sake of her child's future reputation.

But if she is asked to discipline Chen tomorrow, sorry, she can't do it!

"Don't bother the old lady with the rules. If you have nothing else to do, you can copy some more scriptures for the old lady to show your filial piety."

Chen looked at Shen Rong and was about to use filial piety to pressure Shen Rong, but at this time, Nanny Hua, who was standing beside her, stepped forward and said:

"Madam, before she died, the Madam told me personally that after the master passed away, she wanted me to go to the ancestral temple to pray for her and the Gong family."

When Chen heard this, her face suddenly changed and she screamed, "Why? I won't go!"

She finally managed to outlive the old woman and was able to take charge of the household, living a peaceful and comfortable life as an old lady.

But she didn't expect that her dead wife told her about this before she died. How could she not hate her?

However, it is also possible that Shen colluded with Nanny Hua to drive her to the ancestral temple.

Thinking of this, Chen looked at Shen Rong fiercely, "Shen, you are such a good daughter-in-law. You have only been in charge of the family for a few days, and you want to drive your stepmother to the family temple. Aren't you afraid that people outside will poke your spine?"

Shen Rong had just heard what Nanny Hua said, and before she could react, she heard Chen open her mouth and start questioning her viciously.

She turned her gaze to Aunt Hua.

If true, it would be a good thing for her.

Aunt Hua nodded to Shen Rong.

Shen Rong knew what was going on. She looked at Chen again and frowned, "Madam, this is the will of the Madam Dowager. If I don't obey, I would be unfilial."

When Chen heard Shen Rong say this, she immediately laughed in anger, "Shen, you are so sharp-tongued!"
