Chapter 1220: Among These Bystanders Are Their Informants
Zhi’er looked at her with dark eyes."You don’t need to worry about this, I have my own arrangements."
"As long as you make sure you’re not lying, that’s enough." This statement sounded like a warning.
The woman couldn’t help but hold the child tightly and lowered her eyes with some guilt, afraid to meet Zhi’er’s clear gaze.
Ruxin asked curiously, "Master, what are we going to do?"
"The ancestral hall is at my home, I can lead the way for you, or should I just bring out my uncle’s memorial tablet?"
Zhi’er laughed, "Neither is needed, but you do need to call up ten house servants, and bring rakes and shovels."
Ruxin immediately agreed and turned to ask the housekeeper to call people.
Once ten house servants were assembled, Zhi’er said, "Your uncle should be buried in your family’s ancestral tomb, right?"
Ruxin nodded slightly.
Zhi’er asked again, "Is it far?"
"Not far, if we take a carriage, it takes thirty minutes... Master, what is this for?"
"To the ancestral tomb," Zhi’er instructed decisively.
The woman holding the child was shocked: "The ancestral tomb?!"
The surrounding passersby were also surprised.
Zhi’er nodded: "I said so, since this child is the Second Master of Yuan Mansion’s, naturally we must invite him to recognize it."
With that, she asked Ruxin to prepare the carriage.
The woman initially showed some hesitation but glanced at Zhi’er a few times.
This young lady seems unlikely to be a ghost, surely she cannot call out the deceased Second Master Yuan?
Suddenly, she regained her confidence and followed the carriage with the child.
Zhi’er did not forget to call that group of onlookers.
"If you also want to go, Ruxin, prepare an extra carriage for them, whether it’s true or not, everyone will see if you come with me."
Ruxin pulled Zhi’er aside, and complained in a low voice: "Master, why bring this crowd of busybodies, that’s my family’s ancestral tomb, they have no right to enter!"
Zhi’er quietly poked her forehead.
"Calling you stupid, you really are stupid, think a little more!"
"It’s already past midnight, a woman crying out wouldn’t attract so many awakened people."
"This is the entrance to the Yuan Residence, not an ordinary house, no matter how curious the public is, such a large crowd wouldn’t gather."
Ruxin was startled and suddenly understood: "Master, you mean these people were already lurking around and pretending to be passersby!"
Zhi’er nodded.
She’s not entirely foolish.
This is clearly a setup.
Ruxin immediately stopped talking and quickly arranged the carriage.
She wanted whoever was scheming behind the scenes to see clearly that the Yuan Family now has expert help, and isn’t easily trifled with!
Ruxin arranged two extra carriages, and said boldly: "Everyone better come along, to see this liar’s true face."
Those passersby naturally expressed their curiosity and boarded the carriages one after another.
For safety’s sake, Ruxin also called ten Protectors to join them.
Thus, the carriages drove towards the suburb, and after entering the deep mountains for a while, they arrived at the Yuan Family’s ancestral tomb.
The Yuan Family’s ancestral tomb was built spaciously because previously the Regent King was very powerful, and specifically hired two Tomb Guardians to patrol alternately day and night.
They saw Ruxin bringing so many people at night and were puzzled:
"Miss, what’s happening?"
Ruxin raised her head: "My master wants to see my uncle’s tomb, you lead the way!"
