"Yes." The Phantom responded, then stood in front of Tang Zhou and asked, "Um... Mother-in-law, is one hundred taels of silver enough for the burial and funeral?"

"I'm afraid it's not enough. There are thirty-two coffins in the main hall of the Second Gate. One hundred taels is barely enough for burial. If we need to perform a funeral, I'm afraid..."

Tang Zhou thought for a while and said, but she had not left the farm for a long time, so she actually didn't know what the current situation in the outside world was.

"As for the ritual, I'll send someone to take care of it, so you don't have to worry about it. After the ritual is finished, I'll ask you to take care of the burial afterwards."

Phantom summoned a secret guard and instructed, "Please invite the Taoist and Buddhist masters to perform a ritual each, and credit His Highness. Afterwards, you will stay here with your mother-in-law. Once all the coffins are buried, you can rush to Cloud City to join us."

"Yes, I will take your orders."

After instructing the secret guards, Phantom said to Tang Zhou, "Mother-in-law, if there's any extra money left, you can keep it. It will serve as your reward for guarding the manor for so many years, as well as the cost of your retirement."

"This, this...how can I..."

"It's okay. My master said that since we meet someone, we should help them."

"Thank you very much, sir."

Now that the matter has been resolved, Gong Yulinxu and his group are ready to set off.

While Phantom was talking to Tang Zhou, Gong Yulinxu had already sat in his carriage and closed his eyes for a nap.

When Phantom returned to the carriage and was about to tell everyone to leave, Tang Zhou hurried out, "Sir, please wait a moment."

Gong Yulinxu lifted the carriage curtain and saw Tang Zhoushi handing over a wooden box with a trembling hand: "Sir, the young lady left in a hurry just now, and I forgot to give this to her."

"What is this?"

"Inside the box is a small tripod made of colorful glazed materials. It can be used as a decoration. I think the girls will like it." Tang Zhou took two steps forward and handed the wooden box over. "Please give it a ride, young master."

"it is good."

Gong Yulinxu gave Phantom a look, signaling him to put it away.

Afterwards, they all said goodbye and set off.

At this time, the Jiang family's carriage team had already gone quite a distance. Jiang Fugui's head was drooping on Old Lady Jiang's legs, and the two were chatting casually.

"Grandmother, do you know the Third Prince?"

"Your grandmother in Yuncheng is the grandmother of Noble Lady Ruan in the palace. In other words, the Mu family is Noble Lady Ruan's maternal family. Since the Third Prince is the son of Noble Lady Ruan, he is also a legitimate young man of the Mu family."

Jiang Fugui nodded. It turned out that they had this kind of connection. No wonder his grandmother said a few more words. And the third prince did not get angry, but showed some respect.

"Then why have I only heard of the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince, but never the Third Prince?"

"Is it because..." The words came to the tip of Jiang Madam's tongue, but she didn't say them out loud. Instead, she looked down at Jiang Fugui, who had his eyes closed, and asked, "Why is Nannan suddenly interested in the Third Prince?"

Jiang Fugui didn't hesitate at all and answered straightforwardly, "I'm just curious. I've never heard of the Third Prince before. And he just seemed to appear out of nowhere..."

How can one not be suspicious when someone who never existed in previous life suddenly appears out of nowhere in this life?

It's like seeing a ghost!

"The reasons behind this are so complex that I can't explain them in just a few words. If I have the chance later, I'll tell you more slowly."
