The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 357: Chapter 357: Disturbance at Mrs. Shen’s Memorial Service

Standing in this place, truly before the ancestral spirits of the Shen Family!

The ancestors of the Shen Family are all buried here.

The mountains are serene, the endless green hills shrouded in mist, enveloping the cemetery in tranquility and adding a touch of auspicious peace.

To rest here eternally, the ancestors of the Shen Family must be quite content!

Grandmother probably liked it here, too.

The vehicles of the Shen Family soon entered the cemetery.

Elder Shen donned a formal suit he would only wear in his youth, his Sun Yat-sen suit meticulously ironed, the somewhat yellowed shirt still bearing traces of hand embroidery.

He refused the support offered by Shen Dongli, gripping his dragon-head cane firmly in his hand.

“I can still walk! I don’t want Huazhen to see me unable to walk!”

Shen Dongli didn’t insist further, allowing Zuo Wanjun to follow behind with a wheelchair.

Elder Shen has aged a lot since Mrs. Shen caused trouble!

If it wasn’t for Shen Zhongshuang bringing Su Mi back for dinner the next day, lifting the old man’s spirits a bit, he might not have left his room the entire day.

Seeing this, Shen Dongli was extremely worried but did not know what more to say.

The matters of the older generation, he had no control over at all!

The disciples of Master Yu Chen had already arranged the rituals for the transcendence ceremony, sitting in a circle reciting Sanskrit scriptures.

Zuo Wanjun, from a distance, saw Qingwu and Pei Jue walking hand in hand, feeling a twinge of sourness in the corner of her eyes!

She gazed at the benevolent smile of the old madam on the tombstone.

“Mother, we have never met, but I am your daughter-in-law! Thank you for taking such good care of my Qingwu!”

“We may not have had the chance to meet, but rest assured, I will take good care of the family!”

Zuo Wanjun knew that without the selfless love of Mrs. Lin, her precious daughter might never have had the opportunity to return to the Shen Family!

Thinking of the impoverished days Lin Huazhen and Qingwu had gone through, Zuo Wanjun felt a pang of distress in her heart!

Shen Dongli quickly embraced Zuo Wanjun.

“Alright, my wife, don’t make it hard for mom to watch. Isn’t she and little Qingwu back with us? Our treasured daughter will never suffer again!”

The couple embraced and wept unceasingly.

Yu Chen, with half of his arm bare, revealing his muscular biceps, dressed in a crimson Kasaya with Sanskrit embroidered in gold thread, exuded an air of Buddhist reverence.

“Amitabha, just kneel in the spots arranged by this humble monk.”

This was the first time a ceremony was held for Lin Huazhen by the Shen Family.

As per Elder Shen’s wishes, it was to be conducted with the utmost respect, to also bring joy to Lin Huazhen!

Kneeling on the cushion beside Shen Shaojia, Qingwu’s gaze was calm as she looked at the eternally gentle old madam in the photo.

Suddenly feeling the spot next to her sink, Qingwu glanced to the side and realized that Pei Jue had knelt down beside her!

“You don’t have to, this is our family’s affair…”

A few days ago, during Pei Jue’s mother’s ceremony, Qingwu didn’t kneel with Pei Jue, but only offered incense.

Now, he wanted to join her in worshiping grandmother?

Pei Jue quietly took Qingwu’s hand into his own, wide and warm.

His gaze was firm, his expression serious and respectful.

“I already knelt when I visited grandmother at Qing Garden last time. I am glad to join Qingwu in worshiping grandmother, may I have a spot by your side?”

He had already knelt last time…?

Qingwu truly couldn’t imagine that Pei Jue, a man so high above, would pay his respects to her grandmother in a place she couldn’t see…

Qing Garden and the small houses in the average mountain village were no different, with even a layer of mud on the outside walls and black tiles atop.

This man’s worth was enough to buy countless such houses!

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

“There was no way, I had no status back then, I could only worship in secret. Now, I can worship openly!”

Qingwu slightly lowered her head, looking at Pei Jue’s hands, on his wrist was the watch she gave him, and the cufflinks at his sleeve cuffs were also from her…

It was hard to say whether it was moved or joyful, but Qingwu’s heart was filled in an instant!

“Yes, now you can meet grandma openly.”

Pei Jue’s lips slightly curved up!

Disciples around Yu Chen were chanting scriptures, and as they recited, the Shen Family members kowtowed in front of Elder Mrs. Shen’s spirit hall, each bow extraordinarily devout!

Elder Shen sat on the wheelchair to one side, silent!

However, his hand clutching the cane was constantly trembling, betraying his emotions.

After the last bow was completed, Qingwu raised her head to look at the sky, feeling like the incense ash had taken on a familiar form, only to dissipate before her eyes!

In that moment, Qingwu understood, grandma truly was gone…

She used to worry about her, but now she must be completely at ease!

Qingwu had family members who loved her dearly, parents and siblings who cherished her like a treasure, and… Pei Jue by her side!

Pei Jue turned around and hugged Qingwu, pressing her head against his chest, gently comforting her.

“It’s okay, grandma knows you’re living well, and she would be happy.”

Qingwu’s voice was muffled, as she recalled the moments she spent with her grandma, her eyes slightly moist.

“Yes, Pei Jue, I don’t have a grandma anymore.”

She no longer had a grandma!

In the past, only grandma would love her unconditionally, but now there were many more people!

“Grandma used to be my only family, now… I have many family members, and you!”

“I’m honored.”

Watching Pei Jue, who was continuously comforting Qingwu, Zuo Wanjun wiped her tears away, feeling incredibly relieved!

That Pei Jue could be so attentive and considerate showed how truly sincere he was to their beloved daughter!

While feeling relieved, Zuo Wanjun didn’t forget to slap Shen Dongli beside her.

“Look at Jue, then look at yourself, you weren’t even this thoughtful when you were pursuing me back then!”

Shen Dongli felt so wronged!

“Shall I pursue you again then?”

“We’ve been married for so many years, what’s there to chase, don’t you find it embarrassing? Even if you don’t, I do! Besides, I can’t go back to that age anymore!”

Shen Dongli chuckled, wrapping his arms around Zuo Wanjun and said with a sheepish laugh: “Wife, in my heart, you will always look like you are twenty, stunningly beautiful!”

A shrill scream shattered the peace.

A bloodstained old woman stumbled and fell at the cemetery gate, screaming!

“No! Why should Lin Huazhen be buried here? Get her out!”

Elder Mrs. Pei followed leisurely behind.

“I won’t go in anymore, Jue, Shaojia, burn incense for your grandma Lin on behalf of me, just say… we will meet again soon, we will have words when we meet in hell!”

“I didn’t keep an eye on this old thing just now, let her escape, I will take her away first.”

Several burly men stepped forward, carrying away Mrs. Shen who was already mentally unstable, standing to one side!

Qingwu knew, Elder Mrs. Pei… must have done it on purpose.

She wanted grandma to see the current state of Mrs. Shen!

That was also the hidden tenderness within Elder Mrs. Pei’s cold and stubborn bones.

Pei Jue apologized: “Sorry, my grandma has always been like this, she didn’t mean to offend grandma Lin.”

“It’s okay, Mrs. Pei is a very gentle grandma!”
