 Chapter 453: Passing Away

"No need, this dish is very simple." Ye Muyu was worried about oil splashing onto the children's faces which wouldn't be good.


Ziluo touched her chin, "Mother and Mrs. Hu can't touch water, so I'll do the dishes."


"Mother, Nenya and I will do the dishes later." Ziluo said loudly this time.


Ye Muyu thought for a moment and didn't refuse "Okay, it just so happens that Mother hasn't seen your dishwashing skills yet."


"Mother, what skill is there in washing dishes? Before you and Mrs. Hu recovered, washing dishes was my job." Ziluo patted her chest, looking like a little adult.


Ye Muyu nodded with a smile, about to say a few words to praise the child.


Suddenly, Hu Shi's voice came from outside, "Madam, something happened in the village."


"What?" Ye Muyu's heart skipped a beat, furrowing her brows lightly.


She looked towards the door and saw Hu Shi walking in quickly.


Hu Shi gasped for breath, "It's like this, just now, the village chief was beating the gong, announcing to all households that the Queen Mother of the capital has passed away. From the day of the announcement of mourning, there will be a forty-nine-day ban on slaughtering, a hundred days of mourning music and sacrifices, a hundred days of suspension of marriages and official duties, and a month of mourning for military and civilians."


"Both men and women must wear plain clothes for three days."


"In other words, we need to change into plain clothes immediately."


"How big of a figure she must be." Hu Shi couldn't help but sigh.


Ye Muyu heard the sound of gongs coming from outside the courtyard, indicating that it was a major event in the village. Ye Muyu immediately ordered, "Everyone, change into plain clothes now. Pay more attention to the husband who has official titles."


Hu Shi knew that this was not the time to gossip.


She hurriedly took Ziluo and Nenya downstairs to change their clothes and also called for Zhang Shu.


Ye Muyu walked out of the kitchen and glanced at the darkening sky, feeling somewhat worried. She wondered if the Queen Mother's death would affect this year's provincial examination.


Ye Muyu didn't think too much about it and quickly changed into plain clothes in the east wing.


She didn't wait and went to prepare dinner.


Shortly after, Chu Jin also returned. After school, he didn't immediately come home but stayed behind to do homework under Master Lin's supervision.


Ye Muyu thought that since Chu Heng's exam was approaching, he would have to finish his studies when he returned, so she agreed.


As a result, Chu Jin came home an hour later than usual every day.


Today was no exception.


Ye Muyu had just finished frying the cakes.


Hu Shi was cooking porridge.


Ye Muyu heard Chu Jin's voice outside in the courtyard.


Ye Muyu wiped her hands with a towel and then came out from inside.


Seeing her, Chu Jin ran over quickly, hugged her leg, and his voice sounded a bit muffled, "Mother, I won't be able to see Brother Chong Jin anymore in the future."


"Why?" Ye Muyu was a bit surprised when she heard this.


Chu Jin sighed as if he was grown-up, "Brother Chong Jin is going back to Deming Temple to pray for the Queen Mother's salvation for three months."


"Master Lin has already agreed and he will personally send Brother Chong Jin back tomorrow."


Ye Muyu hadn't thought about this yet but she didn't know much about the customs of temples. However, she always felt that Chong Jin's relationship with the temple was somewhat strange. Hadn't this child already returned to secular life?


"How did Chong Jin respond? Wasn't he willing?" Ye Muyu asked with concern.


Chu Jin nodded, "Mother, Brother Chong Jin proposed this himself. He said that even lay disciples are still disciples and he wants to personally pray for the salvation of the Queen Mother."
