Chapter 182: A Beauty Like No Other

Early the next day, HuaA Zhi gathered the entire Hua family for breakfast.

Usually, everyone ate separately, and the Hua family members all knew that if the eldest granddaughter gathered them all together, there must be an important announcement. As they ate their breakfast with distracted minds, they wondered if the news to be announced would be good or bad.

After setting down her chopsticks and rinsing her mouth with tea, Hua Zhi raised her head and revealed the news from the previous day that had carried over to today, "Hua Jing has passed away."

The group's faces showed various expressions. While they didn't particularly like the heartless eldest daughter, she was still a member of the Hua family. Her absence brought an uneasy feeling to their hearts.

Wu shi hesitated and asked, "Has someone come to inform us of the funeral arrangements? What should we do?"

"Song Chenghao informed us of the funeral arrangements. I will go to offer condolences."

Wu shi immediately objected, "Why don't Zhu shi and I go together?"

Zhu shi was still trying to understand the situation, but she knew that her fourth sister-in-law had a good relationship with her daughter, so she nodded in agreement.

"It must be me who goes."

Wu shi grew anxious, "You are the head of the Hua family, but I am concerned once you show your face..."

Hua Zhi couldn't help but chuckle at their reaction. They seemed to think of her as an elusive celestial being, while her appearance was decent, it wasn't so remarkable that she couldn't show her face. "The more we hide, the more curious they become. If they want to see me, then they shall see me."

"Zhi'er..."

Hua Zhi took out Hua Jing's memorial tablet, "Only I can go."

Even in their urgency, no one spoke a word. The members of the Hua family understood the significance of the memorial tablet carved by their ancestors or fathers, uncles, and they knew that as long as this tablet remained in the Hua family, she would forever be considered a member of the Hua family.

Returning the tablet of Hua Jing, those who were quick to react understood that the eldest daughter was completely severing ties with Hua Jing, even though she had already passed away!

Wu shi's throat tightened. Her youngest son's tablet was carved by Bai Lin because he was now the eldest male in the family. She understood the importance of this tablet to the Hua family.

Hua Zhi was not one to be unreasonable, and for her to go this far, did Hua Jing do something they were not aware of?

"Bai Lin."

Hua Bai Lin quickly stood up to respond.

"Tomorrow is Qingming Festival, everything needed for the ancestral sacrifice has been prepared, you will be in charge of the rituals."

"Yes, eldest sister."

Hua Zhi nodded and got up, "That's all, you may all disperse now."

Hua Xian hesitated, but her concubine-mother shook her head, indicating that it was not the right time to discuss matters.

Hua Xian bit her lip and lowered her head.

In her heart, the third grandconcubine sighed, looking at Hua Zhi's back, she could tell from the eldest granddaughter's demeanor that her outing today was not simple. It would be best to wait until she was done dealing with this matter before discussing anything else.
