Chapter 221: Chapter 89: Qi County_2
Yueyao gazed at the cool moon, “Mom, do you think Dad and Mom are watching me from the sky, or have they already reincarnated?”
Nanny Deng was stumped by Yueyao’s question.
Yueyao didn’t expect an answer from Nanny Deng, murmuring to herself, “Actually, I hope Dad and Mom have already reincarnated, so they have a new life.”
Nanny Deng opened her mouth several times but didn’t know what to say. At that moment, Hua Lei brought a coat, ready to put it on Yueyao, but Yueyao shook her head and entered the house. She didn’t sleep, only had a candle lit and picked up a book to read. She said sideways, “If I fall asleep later, don’t touch me.” Yueyao’s words were a reminder for them not to disturb the book in her hands, as it would wake her up.
Hua Lei hurriedly nodded, “Okay.”
Yueyao read for about half an hour and indeed fell asleep with her head sideways. Hua Lei looked at her young lady’s head crooked on the pillow, her jade hands holding the book atop a water-blue quilt, in a rather ungraceful pose. However, thinking of Yueyao’s instructions, she didn’t tidy up and let it be.
Hua Lei knew her young lady always had difficulty falling asleep, especially in a different place. The last time they visited Uncle Master’s house, she also didn’t sleep all night. Hua Lei sighed softly; since the Old Master and Madam had passed away, the young lady had never laughed heartily.
The next day, a group of people went to visit the grave, bringing several large boxes of scriptures to the destination. The Lian family’s ancestral tomb had dedicated servants guarding it, and ordinary people were not allowed in. Yueyao and the others had informed them in advance, and the tomb keeper led them there.
Visiting the tomb, burning incense, and placing offerings proceeded in an orderly manner.
Seeing her parents’ graves, Yueyao bit her lower lip, struggling not to cry. She took out the scripture scrolls from the box, one by one, intending to personally burn these scriptures for her parents. The things she hadn’t accomplished in her past life, she wanted to complete in this life.

The tomb keeper, seeing so many scrolls, couldn’t help but ask, “What are these?”
Zhao Chun who had followed replied, “These are the scriptures that our young lady copied for the Second Old Master and Second Madam. The young lady spent over a year, day after day, copying these scriptures. Today is the Second Madam’s death anniversary, and the young lady specially came to burn these scrolls for the Old Master and Madam.”
The tomb keeper, hearing this for the first time, said, “The Third Young Lady is truly filial.” This indeed required dedication, as copying them one by one without resilience is impossible.
As each scroll burned, the flames cast a reddish glow on Yueyao’s face. Through the firelight, the affectionate faces of her parents appeared before her, and the nightmares of her past life resurfaced in her mind. Yueyao could no longer hold back and tears splashed down, “Dad, Mom, Dad, Mom…” making everyone around also tear up.
Tingzheng, who was also burning scriptures with Yueyao, was teary-eyed, “Dad, Mom, I and sister have come to see you…”
As the last scroll turned to ash, Yueyao fainted.
The doctor came to check Yueyao’s pulse and after a while said, “The young lady is suffering from excessive grief. She needs to rest well and not be saddened anymore, otherwise, she might fall seriously ill.” Knowing that she had fainted from crying over the death of her parents, he simply sighed, feeling sorry for her.
When Yueyao came to, she saw that Tingzheng had puffy eyes.
Seeing Yueyao awake, Tingzheng joyfully cried, “Mom, sister is awake, sister is awake.” The doctor said that sister being awake was good.
Yueyao touched Tingzheng’s head, in this lifetime she would start anew, everything moving towards a better direction, without such nightmares anymore, never again.
In the afternoon, Tingli still took Tingzheng to visit the elders of the main family. Having been under Li Han’s guidance in the Li family for the better part of the year, Tingzheng had grown somewhat bolder. Facing the elders’ questions, he wasn’t as intimidated, although his answers were a bit forced.
The questioner was the Seventh Old Grand Master of the Lian family’s main branch. Normally, Tingzheng’s appearance was quite endearing, and his attitude was also satisfying, but Tingzheng’s responses displeased him.
Tingli was inwardly startled; knowing that the boy had only been learning for half a year and carrying the reputation as dull-witted, yet being able to answer most of the questions before the elders was impressive. However, facing the dissatisfaction of the Seventh Old Grand Master, Tingli dared not explain, as explanations often make things worse.
Instead, Tingli himself said, “Great Grandfather, the teacher says I started my education too late, we need to take it slowly. Hurrying would not be good.”
Seventh Old Grand Master Lian Yi glared, “You started your education too late? When did you start?”
Upon learning that Tingzheng had started his education less than a year ago, he became even more agitated, “Lian family descendants start their education at three years old, this child is already six and only started half a year ago. What is going on here?” He instantly knew something was fishy.
