Gu Fenglin and Mu Yunhan burned incense and saluted in front of General Meng Wu's spirit, with sad expressions and sincere attitudes. After the ceremony, they said goodbye to the bereaved family.
The eldest son of General Meng Wu returned the greeting with tears in his eyes and asked, "Why are you and your lady here?"
This is a question that many Meng family members have.
Gu Fenglin said nothing.
It was already spring in March, the earth was getting warmer, and everyone had put on light spring clothes, but he was still wearing a jacket, his complexion was pale, and his figure was thin, as if he would fall down at any time.
Mu Yunhan supported him carefully and replied: "My husband and I were helped by the Fifth General when we were in our early days. Today he will be traveling far away, so he came here to say goodbye."
The eldest son of General Meng Wu burst into tears and was choked with sobs that he could not speak.
There was something he wanted to tell Gu Fenglin.
General Meng Wu died in battle. As the eldest son, although he was heartbroken for his father, he was very supportive and proud of him and took the lead in the battle.
Just because Meng Xiangzhu reconciled, he did not dare to openly oppose it.
So what if more officials died?
In his opinion, they are all traitors who have harmed the country and deserve to die.
And Gu Fenglin, who is in charge of the battle, is so affectionate and deserves respect.
However, at this sensitive moment, he did not dare to speak nonsense.
So he choked and said: "Master Priest, please call up my father's soul and put my mother's peace of mind at ease."
Gu Fenglin frowned, feeling very embarrassed. In fact, he didn't do such things as summoning spirits on a daily basis.
General Meng Wu's wife rushed out, crying and prostrating: "Please, please, only you can make me feel at ease, only you can make me believe!"
At this fragile moment, the deepest belief in Zhao Guoren's heart is still the Palace of Priests.
Gu Fenglin did not refuse anymore, but agreed.
The Meng family cleared out a room for Gu Fenglin to use, and then invited Mu Yunhan to the flower hall to serve tea.
General Meng Wu, his wife, and others sat around Mu Yunhan, talking carefully about the topic of safety.
Mu Yunhan was not here to cause trouble, and the other party was very grateful, so the atmosphere was harmonious.
Halfway through the tea, a female family member came in and said, "Sister-in-law, I came to express my condolences to my fifth uncle. I was delayed due to some trivial matters at home, so I came a little late. I hope you won't take offense."
Mu Yunhan heard this voice familiar, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that it was Lin Mi.
She wore plain clothes and stood there calmly. She was a little thinner than before, but her temperament was much calmer.
Seeing Mu Yunhan look at her, Lin Mi nodded slightly and said politely: "Mrs. Anguo."
Mu Yunhan smiled: "Mrs. Xiaomeng."
Lin Mi smiled, turned back and continued talking to the female relatives of General Meng Wu's family, but he had no intention of causing trouble.
The female relatives of General Meng Wu's family breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly separated the two of them for fear of causing trouble.
However, it was definitely impossible for Mu Yunhan to take the initiative to provoke Lin Mi. Lin Mi did not look for trouble and quietly followed the master's arrangements and went to another place to be resettled.
Someone looked at Lin Mi's back and said, "San San is a pretty good wife. Now she is in charge of their house. She can handle everything inside and outside. She is clear and logical, which is rare."
Someone pulled her sleeve and winked, and she quickly lowered her head to drink tea and stopped mentioning Lin Mi.
Mu Yunhan just pretended that she had never seen Lin Mi. When Gu Fenglin finished her work and sent someone to call her, she hurriedly said goodbye to her master and helped him go home.
General Meng Wu's wife and his eldest son, who had regained consciousness when they left, escorted them to the door. They were very grateful.
Mu Yunhan was curious and asked Gu Fenglin: "What did you say to them?"
