Madam Jiang sighed, thankful for the discovery. If it had been delayed any longer and with wild animals in the mountains, who knows what might have happened.
Xiqiu also sighed and asked, "What did Third Sister say about it? Has she written a letter to Father?" It was indeed as she expected, a simple burial with a thin coffin.
"Father has already been informed via letter, and someone has been sent to notify Third Aunt as well. Third Aunt hurried to the estate by carriage early this morning, with Manager Lai handling matters over there... It's said to be quite a scene," Madam Jiang said, looking troubled. "According to Third Aunt's wishes, she wants a full forty-nine-day Dharma Assembly and wants to bring the arrangements to the manor. But regardless of whether Lady agrees or not, as just a concubine, Madam Wang can't have such an elaborate ceremony. If this gets out, who knows how many people will gossip behind our backs." She sighed after speaking.
