Old Mrs. Qin passed away peacefully.
With her passing, the room filled with tumultuous sobbing, the filial sons and virtuous grandsons all knelt on the ground, except for Qin Liuxi. She neither knelt nor shed a single tear.
She glanced at those who had come and at Old Mrs. Qin standing beside them, and slightly bowed to her: "May you have a safe journey."
Old Mrs. Qin smiled, nodded at her, took one last look at the filial sons and grandsons kneeling and weeping on the ground, then turned away with a smile.
Lai Dou Lai said, "Sir, I shall take my leave."
Qin Liuxi nodded: "Thank you for your efforts."
She walked outside, took the gold ingot handed by Teng Zhao, and burned it. Some ingots fell into the hands of the ghost messenger, others into the hands of the Old Lady.
Watching them disappear into the Ghost Gate, Qin Liuxi instructed Housekeeper Li: "Hang the lanterns for the mourning rites."
