The Mu family's ancestral worship ceremony was grand and solemn.
This was the first time Song Ning had witnessed such a scene. She stood next to Jiang Jin and imitated the etiquette. She silently prayed for blessings from Liang Zhen. If Liang Zhen were still here, she would be able to call Liang Zhen mother. Alas, her mother and Liang Zhen could only watch over them from the heavens. She was determined to live a happy life with Mu Chen!
Meanwhile, Liang Zhou was prohibited from entering the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors with everyone.
This was Jiang Jin and Mu Chen's bottom line. No one could touch it.
It was almost noon when the ceremony ended.
Everyone had a lively lunch before they left.
The annual ceremony was finally over.
Song Ning waited until all the guests had left before she quickly helped Jiang Jin up. "Grandma, you must be exhausted, right? I'll give you a massage."
Jiang Jin patted Song Ning's hand before she said bluntly to Mu Qing who was standing next to her, "You should leave now. Don't bother feeling resentful. I will forget about what happened today, but you shouldn't have any thoughts you shouldn't have. Don't take the wrong path again..."
Mu Qing acquiesced silently and bade farewell to everyone before he left.
Song Ning only cared about Jiang Jin. Her duty was to look after Jiang Jin's health while Mu Chen and Cheng Che dealt with the other chores.
The two men had already familiarized themselves with the chores. Moreover, there were helpers helping out as well.
After the two men were done with their chores, they ordered for someone to bring a pot of tea to the living room before they started a game of chess.
At this moment, a servant rushed in and said, "Young Master, the Ning family is here to give their new year's greetings..."
Mu Chen's hand that was holding onto a chess piece froze in midair.
The Ning family?'
Mu Chen and Cheng Che exchanged a look.
"Is it Mr. Ning Zhe?" Cheng Che asked.
The servant nodded. "Yes. The Madam and Young Master of the Ning family are here as well..."
Mu Che calmly placed the chess piece down and said, "Let them in."
Cheng Che looked at the unfinished chess game and sighed. "This new year is like a rollercoaster ride!" Then, he asked, "Should I inform sister-in-law about this?"
