Chapter 202 You are not allowed to enter the mourning hall!
Ning Huaizhi looked at Jiang Yuwei worriedly. Jiang Yuwei turned around and smiled at him faintly:
"Huaizhi, don't waste time, go back to the shop and bring all the remaining wreaths over."
Ning Huaizhi wanted to say something but stopped himself, but nodded and drove the ox cart away. Jiang Yuwei picked up all the wreaths that Madam Sun had kicked over one by one.
Then he said calmly to Madam Sun:
"These are my gifts to my godmother, she likes flowers."
Madam Sun had already been scolded by her master because of the old lady's death. From yesterday until now, her master had never been in a good mood with her. If it weren't for the old lady's funeral and the dignity of the Sun family, Mr. Sun would not have let Madam Sun out so easily.
Therefore, Madam Sun's hatred for Jiang Yuwei became even deeper. If Jiang Yuwei had not instigated her, she would not have quarreled with the old lady over trivial matters. However, she did not expect that the old lady was too impatient. She just said a few truths and she was angered to death.
The more Madam Sun thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. So she stepped forward, kicked the wreath down, and yelled at Jiang Yuwei:
"I am the mistress of this Sun Mansion. Who do you think you are? It is not your turn to decide what to put in front of our Sun Mansion. Don't take advantage of me and act like a good kid! Don't call me godmother all the time. If you really want to do this for the old lady's good, you should get out of here as soon as possible. My temple is too small to keep a big Buddha like you!"
Jiang Yuwei looked at the wreath on the ground and sighed helplessly:
"Madam Sun, I know you have resentment towards me, but today is my godmother's funeral. Can't we just let her go in peace? Can't we talk about your dissatisfaction with me later?"
Madam Sun's eyes widened when she heard Jiang Yuwei's words.
"Are you saying that I am not as sensible as a village woman like you who comes from a small family? Who do you think you are to teach me?"
The people who came to attend the old lady's funeral walked to the door and saw the scene and pointed at Jiang Yuwei.
"Isn't this the daughter that the old lady just recognized at her birthday party?"
"What goddaughter? I think she's more like a ghost that's asking for death!"
"Ah, what do you mean?"
"Didn't you hear Madam Sun say just now that the old lady of the Sun Mansion was angered to death by her goddaughter?"
At this moment, a lazy male voice suddenly spoke:
"Madam Sun, isn't today the old lady's funeral? What are you doing? Look, this obituary was sent by your Sun Mansion. Why are we all here now? This is the first time I've seen your family hold a funeral like this!"
After hearing this, Madam Sun realized that more and more people were gathering at the door. Most of them wanted to see the Sun Mansion laugh. The old lady was originally pissed off by her. Now that the old lady's funeral was over, if she didn't host it well, her master would definitely not let her off easily. So Madam Sun glared at Jiang Yuwei fiercely and smiled at the people at the door:
"I'm sorry, I was delayed just now. You are all here to pay your respects, right? Please come in quickly."
Then Madam Sun winked at Chuntao and said:
"Hurry up and take all the guests to the funeral hall."
Jiang Yuwei felt that the man's voice sounded familiar. She was about to look up to see who had come to her rescue when she saw that the man had followed the crowd into the mansion. When he walked up to Madam Sun, he lowered his head and whispered something to her.
Mrs. Sun's face suddenly changed. She glared at Jiang Yuwei fiercely, then followed the crowd into the mansion to entertain the guests.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei and Wan'er hurriedly picked up all the fallen wreaths and arranged them properly. Wan'er looked at the gate of the Sun Mansion and pouted:
"Mother, that Madam Sun was really vicious just now. Wan'er doesn't want to go in."
Jiang Yuwei squatted down, touched Ning Wan's head and smiled gently:
"Let's not look at her expression. Have you forgotten what mother said to you this morning? Today we are here to see the old lady off for the last time."
After hearing this, Ning Wan nodded obediently and said sweetly:
"Okay, then we'll leave after we send the old lady off."
While the two were talking, Ning Huaizhi also came over with the remaining wreaths.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei hurried over to move the wreath. Ning Huaizhi saw that Madam Sun was no longer at the door, so he said to Jiang Yuwei:
"Yuwei, we have delivered the wreath. If Madam Sun really doesn't want us to go in, let's go back to the shop first. It would be nice to follow the old lady's funeral procession and take a look from a distance."
Jiang Yuwei said as she moved the wreath:
"It's okay. Madam Sun is probably busy today and won't bother with me. The old lady treats me so well, I must see her off in a dignified manner. There are many things to do in the shop, so you should go back first."
Ning Huaizhi frowned and said:
"But I'm afraid you'll be wronged here... We don't need to..."
Before Ning Huaizhi could finish his words, Jiang Yuwei had already taken down all the wreaths and smiled at Ning Huaizhi:
"Huaizhi, it's okay. When have you ever seen me suffer a loss? Just listen to me and go back to the shop and wait for me. I have to accompany you to Huichuntang to treat your leg injury in the afternoon. I won't stay here for long. I'll just go in to see the old lady and kowtow to her a few times. I can feel at ease and no one will do anything to me."
Jiang Yuwei was afraid that Ning Huaizhi would worry, so she patted his shoulder and said with a smile:
"If Madam Sun really embarrasses me, Mr. Sun will help me for the sake of the old lady, so don't worry."
Ning Huaizhi didn't know what to say after hearing this. After all, he knew Jiang Yuwei. As long as Jiang Yuwei decided to do something, she would do it. He couldn't persuade her, so he could only nod helplessly:
"Then protect yourself. If the situation is not right, take Wan'er and leave the house quickly."
Jiang Yuwei also nodded to Ning Huaizhi and waved to him to go first. Ning Huaizhi looked at Jiang Yuwei worriedly and drove the ox cart to the shop.
Seeing Ning Huaizhi walking away, Jiang Yuwei took Ning Wan's hand and walked into the Sun Mansion. At this time, the Sun Mansion was already covered in white. Without the laughter and joy of the old lady's birthday party, it seemed that the whole house had become sad.
As soon as Jiang Yuwei entered the mansion, she went to find the old lady's mourning hall. Jiang Yuwei thought that if she could see the man who had just rescued her, she would definitely have to thank him properly.
When Jiang Yuwei walked to the hall, she saw the old lady's spirit tablet placed in the middle. Just as she was about to pull Wan'er over to kneel down and worship, she was stopped by the maid named Chuntao beside Madam Sun.
"Madam Jiang, please go back. Our Madam said that you are not allowed to step into the mourning hall. Don't make things awkward for both sides."
Jiang Yuwei turned her head to look at the maid who looked down on people just like Madam Sun, and couldn't help but frown. This person was too good at taking advantage of the power of others. It was okay that Madam Sun yelled at her.
You, a maid, dare to be so disrespectful to me. Although the old lady is gone, I am still the recognized sister of Mr. Sun. How can I suffer in silence?
