1031: Chapter 1031: Visiting the Grave (38) 1031: Chapter 1031: Visiting the Grave (38) On the morning of Chinese New Yearâs Eve, even the newly bought servants joined the ranks of those exercising.
After the exercise had ended and a simple breakfast was eaten, the family donned their plain clothes and took with them the silver ingots and incense they had prepared in advance; it was necessary to visit the graves on New Yearâs Eve.
Although the main branch had severed ties, at that time they had only divided the family register and moved out of the Yang Family ancestral hall, but Yang Baiyueâs grave had not been relocated from the ancestral cemetery, so they were headed to the Yang Family ancestral graves.
The Yang Family ancestral cemetery was halfway up the hillside and was mostly covered with graves.
The morning of New Yearâs Eve was the customary time for tomb visits, so it was inevitable to encounter other people, and everyone exchanged greetings with one another.
They hadnât walked far before they ran into people from the old residence; Old Master Yang was leading a few members of the second branch, obviously also on their way to the cemetery.
Xun Hui felt somewhat ill at ease upon seeing Old Master Yang and didnât know how to react, so she secretly tugged on Yang Ruxinâs sleeve, âXinxinâŠâ
âIf you wish, give a greeting, if not, you can pretend not to see.â Yang Ruxin patted Xun Huiâs hand, knowing she was trying to change herself, but a personality couldnât be altered just because one said so; however, as long as she was willing to try, that was a comfort to her.
Xun Hui nodded and did her best to calm down before smiling at Yang Peili, âFather.â
Yang Peiliâs expression turned ugly, a mixture of embarrassment and regret, his lips stiffly twitched as he nodded, then he glanced at Yang Ruxin.
But Yang Ruxin, as if she hadnât seen him at all, pulled Sini forward and kept walking.
Erni and the others were even less likely to initiate contact with the people from the old residence; those people had only left them with fear, and their hearts could only repel such fear.
Yang Peiliâs face grew even more unsightly, âRuxin, do you not even acknowledge your grandfather in your eyes?â Then he looked toward Xun Hui, âIs this what youâŠâ
âOld Master Yang, can you stop trying to gild yourself?â Yang Ruxin stopped in her tracks, her voice filled with disdain, âWeâve already cut ties, meaning thereâs no relationship left, so what act are you putting on?
Weâve torn our faces so many times already; donât tell me youâre still deluding yourself into believing you can influence us?â
âYouâŠâ
âRemember, the main branch is not what it used to be,â Yang Ruxinâs eyes narrowed slightly, âIf youâre wise, just mind your own business.â She then walked straight past.
âBig cousin sisterâŠâ Yang Rusong took a couple of steps after her.
Yang Ruxin turned around.
âWe are brothers and sisters, always will be,â Yang Rusong said with a smile.
Yang Ruxin didnât respond to him.
âYang Dani, you caused the death of my Yuyu, you will be struck by lightningâŠâ Feng Caie suddenly screamed, then bent down to pick up a rock and threw it, âDieâŠâ
Yang Ruxin stood still without moving as another rock flew by her side, knocking the first rock to the ground.
Du Man instantly stepped in to shield Yang Ruxin.
Yang Ruxin turned around to face Feng Caie, âSay that again!â
Feng Caie involuntarily took a step back, her heart filled with guilt.
âFeng Caie, your good daughter sold my mother into Bone Village in the mountains; had I not hurried into the mountains, my mother would be dead,â Yang Ruxin advanced on Feng Caie, âSold for ten pieces of silverâŠ
You have no evidence that I harmed Yang Ruyu, but I have evidence of her actions, so should we discuss it at the Governorâs Office?â
âThisâŠâ Feng Caie was so shocked that she was at a loss for words.
