"I understand, Grandma, don't worry—I'll definitely be a good mother and won't let Xiao Kai suffer," Du Shiniang said with an obedient and filial appearance, "Grandma, do you have any other instructions or needs?"
"I'm just an old woman now, destined to live a quiet life, what else could I need? However, Old Chen's death weighs heavy on my heart. Can you go to Wande Temple for me and ask the abbot to perform the best ritual for Old Chen? It would be a proper way to honor our decades of service together."
"Yes, Grandma, I understand. I'll go right away," Du Shiniang said. Then, she lowered her head and exited the Old Lady's bedroom.
Just then, she ran into Bai Yueru, who was hurrying over.
After receiving a call from Guan Jiu, Bai Yueru knew that something was amiss at the Old Mansion, so she rushed back. Seeing Du Shiniang coming out of the Old Lady's room, she asked, "Shi Niang, where are you rushing to?"
