[Mo Dao Zu Shi Fanfiction] I Raise A Ying in Yiling

A satisfied smile flashed across Yan Qing's eyes as she caught sight of Wei Chaoyan and the others' movements. Her gentle gaze casually swept back and forth over the adorably cute little Qingyan, and she continued to quietly recount Yan Niangzi's arrangements: "When we arrive at the village, Miss Wei, tell the village chief and all the villagers that the master was a very close friend of your late mother. Previously, the master generously funded your hiring of Old Wang and his group out of consideration for your deceased friend. Now, besides bringing your younger brother back to pay respects to your parents, you are also bringing the master to visit your friend."

As for Senior Zezang and his companion, they were both benefactors of the master and the young lady's parents in their early years. Now that their benefactors have perished, the master, filled with gratitude, wishes to build a cenotaph for them. However, the master's hometown is too far from Yiling, and he cannot travel the long distance to build the tomb. Fortunately, the young lady's parents were also saved by the couple, so they decided to build a cenotaph nearby while repairing their friend's new grave. All of this was arranged by the master, and you, young lady, have no involvement whatsoever, understand?"

"I understand, I understand!" Wei Chaoyan nodded frantically. This meant that everything was handled by Lady Yan, and she, Wei Chaoyan, was merely a figurehead using a name without substance to carry out the affairs of a wealthy and powerful person.

To put it bluntly, no matter how extravagant the expenses of Old Wang's trip were, or how large the cenotaph was, it had nothing to do with Wei Chaoyan. Whatever absurd ambitions the envious villagers and Wei Chaoyan's relatives might harbor, they wouldn't benefit Wei Chaoyan's family! Wei Chaoyan's family remained the same impoverished household with only a few taels of silver in their pockets and a room full of young, weak children. However, now they had the powerful and influential Lady Yan, who had a close relationship with Wei Zhu Niangzi, to protect them. If the villagers of Wei Village and Wei Chaoyan's immediate relatives dared to harbor any ill intentions, they'd better consider whether their greedy claws were as sharp as the blade falling from Lady Yan's hand!

In this way, the potential problems that Wei Chaoyan's grand return to the village to pay respects today might have caused were nipped in the bud by Yan Niangzi. This also provided a strong explanation for the sudden rise in the living standards of Wei Chaoyan's family in the future, and avoided a lot of far-fetched, unfounded, and baseless rumors.

If it weren't for the fact that they were in a carriage, and there were so many people inside, in order not to make too much noise and wake the sleeping Lady Yan, and also to maintain her image, Wei Chaoyan, who was overjoyed, would probably have done a few somersaults to vent her overflowing joy and gratitude!

Wei Chaoyan clasped her hands tightly together under her wide sleeves to suppress the impulse in her heart, and said in a low voice, "Uncle Yanqing, I understand what Aunt Yan means. It's just that Aunt Yan has gone to a lot of trouble for me. Did Aunt Yan say anything else that I should pay attention to?"

Yan Qing paused for a moment and continued, "There are no other major matters. The master has prepared all the other necessities for the worship. After we arrive at Wei Village, we will have lunch first and then go directly to the graves of the young lady's parents to pay our respects. As for sealing the cenotaphs of Senior Zezang and his brother, the auspicious time chosen by Elder Wang is at 3:45 PM. When the auspicious time arrives, the young lady and the gentlemen should simply follow Elder Wang's instructions."

As for accommodation for the night, don't worry. I've already sent people to arrange for us to stay with several families in the village who have a good relationship with the girl's family for the night. We can just squeeze into one of these families' homes.

Wei Chaoyan nodded and then fell silent. She already knew that after she sold the house to her uncles and left Wei Village, she and Wei Ying had no home in Wei Village. But now, facing the reality of returning to the village where she had lived for many years and having nowhere to stay but to stay with other people, she felt heartbroken.

As for why she didn't stay overnight at Uncle Wei's house or Grandpa Wei's house, or even discuss with them whether they could leave their original house for the night? Hehe (?????), Lady Yan has been so considerate of her all the way, how could she be so stupid as to leave Lady Yan's protection and give these complicated relatives an opportunity to take advantage of her?

Today is a serious and formal day. She has no energy to listen to their platitudes about how "you are a daughter of the Wei family, and now that you have this opportunity, you should help and take care of your cousins ​​of the same generation in the Wei family." Even Grandpa Wei, who was quite kind to her before, probably has the same attitude as everyone else when it comes to helping his other children's families. Heh ˉ_( ?° ?? ?°)_/ˉ!

As her thoughts drifted to this point, Wei Chaoyan's mood soured. Recalling the voices and smiles of her parents in the past, she felt even more depressed. Since Yan Qing had already told her everything she needed to know, Wei Chaoyan, who was in a bad mood, stopped asking any more questions. She silently gestured for Wei Ying and Qi Ye, who were still standing, to sit back down. She then got up and pulled Qingyan, who was squirming in his chair, to sit down.

Holding Qingyan, Wei Chaoyan didn't return to her own seat but sat down in Qingyan's place. She whispered to Yan Qing, "Uncle Yan Qing, we remember everything you said. But, do you have any pastries or drinks?" As she spoke, she lifted the chubby Qingyan in her arms and weighed him in her hands, indicating to Yan Qing, "Look, this little guy needs to eat something before he goes to sleep."

Yan Qing glanced at Qingyan and noticed that he was indeed rubbing his eyes, knowing that he was really sleepy. Without saying anything, she bent down and reached under the seat to pull out a small drawer, took out several plates of sweet and soft pastries, and then took out her water pouch and handed it to Wei Chaoyan, indicating that she should let Qingyan and Wei Ying have some to fill their stomachs.

Seeing that Yan Qing brought out what she wanted so quickly, Wei Chaoyan happily smiled and urged Wei Ying and the others to come forward and have some snacks. After they finished eating, they could lean back in their chairs and rest. It would be a long time before they returned to the village, and they needed to get plenty of rest so that they could see their parents in good spirits when they got back!
