Even though the voice was deliberately lowered, it was just enough for Mrs. Nalan and a few nearby relatives to hear it clearly:
"Mommy, what should we do? Sister has hosted a funeral. According to the customs of the Empire, attending a wedding after handling a funeral is considered unlucky."
"Moreover, sister was the one who was buried. Marrying Mr. Nalan is even more inauspicious..."
"Although sister is back now, this incident did happen, and we can't hide it. What if sister's misfortune affects Mr. Nalan..."
"Mommy, you taught us that one should never lose ambition even when poor, and should never lie. If we deceive Mrs. Nalan about sister's funeral, I'm afraid we won't even sleep well at home..."
"Mommy, why do you look so pale? Alright, alright, I won't say anymore. I just wanted to remind you quietly, I won't tell anyone else..."
"If sister wants to keep it a secret, let her, but I'm just feeling guilty..."
Qin Wenrou deliberately lowered her voice as she spoke.
