Right at this moment, a group of women dressed in plain white clothes, with elegant demeanors, walked into the mourning hall from the back. Xiao Xun was among them.

"My mother is here."

Qiancheng Xue breathed a slight sigh of relief. She was indeed quite worried that her mother wouldn't come out.

"Which one?"

Su Mo asked curiously.

"Come on, I'll take you over there. Remember, you have to make a good impression."

Qiancheng Xue quickly led Su Mo towards Xiao Xun, reminding him along the way. Once she got past her mother, she wouldn't have any more worries.

"Okay, okay!"

Su Mo replied with a smile.

As they got closer, Su Mo saw Xiao Xun and his eyes widened. Wasn't this that woman? Could she be Qiancheng Xue's mother?

"Mother."

Qiancheng Xue stepped forward and called out respectfully.

Xiao Xun looked at Su Mo and Qiancheng Xue walking towards her, showing no surprise. Her expression remained cold and indifferent as she replied.

"What is it?"

"This is my boyfriend, Su Mo. He came specifically to see you."

Qiancheng Xue introduced nervously.

Snapping out of his surprise, Su Mo quickly said respectfully to Xiao Xun, "Hello, Mother-in-law."

Xiao Xun's expression softened slightly as she looked at Su Mo and said, "No need to be so polite. We've met before, haven't we?"

"Mother, you've met?"

Qiancheng Xue was also very surprised.

"Suit yourself, I have things to do."

Without waiting for Su Mo to explain, Xiao Xun continued to address Su Mo.

"Ah, okay."

Su Mo replied awkwardly.

Xiao Xun turned and left directly, not saying another word to Qiancheng Xue.

Qiancheng Xue originally wanted to say something else, but in the end, she couldn't bring herself to. She lowered her head slightly.

She didn't understand what she had done wrong, why her mother was so cold to her.

Even when she met Su Mo for the first time, she would at least say a few words, but she didn't want to say a single word to her.

Su Mo also saw that Qiancheng Xue's mood wasn't good and quickly comforted her.

"Don't think too much, your mother's personality is just like that."

"Okay."

Qiancheng Xue replied, perking up.

Before long, the memorial ceremony began, and everyone stood in two rows in front of the mourning hall.

Lin Yuefeng and other core members stood at the very front.

A bunch of white flowers was handed to each person.

Lin Yuefeng took the lead in bowing to the deceased.

"First bow!"

......

Then bunches of flowers were placed.

Afterward, each family member of the deceased took turns to pay their respects, and many couldn't help but cry.

The atmosphere was exceptionally solemn, and the sad atmosphere lingered.

At this time, a well-dressed, refined woman walked up, knelt directly on the ground, and cried uncontrollably.

"Mu Xi, my Mu Xi..."

......

Standing to the side, Lin Yaotian's eyes were red as he remained silent.

Many members of the Lin family present lowered their heads, feeling even more sorrowful in their hearts.

Su Mo stood beside them watching this scene, and his heart wasn't feeling good either.

With red eyes, Qiancheng Xue whispered to Su Mo, "That's my fourth brother's mother. He was her only son. Although my fourth brother wasn't exceptionally talented, he was very kind. I just didn't expect him to sacrifice himself to save Father this time on the front lines. Actually, it's all my fault, that monster was chasing after me... If I had discovered it sooner, maybe this wouldn't have happened."

"It's not your fault, you did your best. That monster was beyond your capabilities."

Su Mo reached out and hugged Qiancheng Xue, stroking her back with his right hand to comfort her.

After a long while, Qiancheng Xue's emotions gradually stabilized.

Su Mo said to Qiancheng Xue, "Let's go up and pay our respects too."

"Okay."

Qiancheng Xue nodded.

So the two of them walked up side by side.

Xiao Xun looked at Qiancheng Xue and Su Mo coming up to pay their respects together, and a complicated expression appeared on her face.

She couldn't help but think that if her son was still alive, he should be getting married soon too.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but clench her fist, her fingernails digging into her flesh. She regretted it even more.

In fact, she didn't hate Qiancheng Xue, but every time she saw Qiancheng Xue, she would be reminded of her child. At the same time, she would recall the mistakes she had made. The person she truly hated was herself.

In the end, she was just hating herself.

......

Night.

With the mourning of many relatives, friends, and Federation officials.

All the urns were either claimed or sent to the Lin family's ancestral hall and private cemetery.

Everything was over.

Xiao Xun returned to her room, she looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes filled with disgust.

Just then, a maid pushed the door open and came in.

"Madam."

Xiao Xun said in a very cold tone, "Didn't I say, I'm not seeing anyone!"

"It's not a guest, your eldest brother has come."

The maid explained慌乱.

Xiao Xun paused slightly, then said, "My eldest brother is here? Let him in."

"Yes!"

The maid hurried out.

Before long, Xiao Fang walked in, his face revealing a look of ecstasy.

Seeing Xiao Fang's expression, Xiao Xun's heart skipped a beat. She seemed to have guessed something: "Brother, have you found my child?"

"I found him, he's not dead!"

Xiao Fang said with wild joy.

"Where is he?"

Xiao Xun was a little incredulous as she asked somewhat crazily.

Xiao Fang took out a photo from his pocket and handed it over.

"It's him!"

Looking at the photo in her hand, Xiao Xun couldn't help but cover her mouth, stunned in place.

"How could it be him? Brother, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"Absolutely not mistaken. Back then, that old man Li discovered that I was monitoring him, so he took the child and hid in the old village in the magic capital. I didn't expect him to play a trick under my nose. I've verified all the information, and there's absolutely no mistake."

Xiao Fang said decisively.

"I'm going to find him now."

Xiao Xun also ran out excitedly, but she quickly turned back, looked in the mirror, tidied up her hair, and kept muttering.

"No, I have to dress up a little more."

"Sister, calm down. Isn't it a little inappropriate to rush over there like this?"

Xiao Fang also reminded her with some concern.

"That's right! Will he hate me?"

Xiao Xun suddenly slumped back in the chair, muttering with vacant eyes.

......

On the other side, in Qiancheng Xue's room.

Qiancheng Xue sat wearily in the chair.

Su Mo poured her a glass of water and comforted her softly, "It's okay, it's all over. Everything will be fine when you wake up from a nap."

"Sorry! I made you worry."

Qiancheng Xue took the water Su Mo handed her, took a sip, and said apologetically.

"No need to apologize to me, we don't need to say these things between us, but..."

Su Mo hesitated, not knowing how to speak.

"What is it? Stop beating around the bush."

Qiancheng Xue reached out and took Su Mo's hand and asked.

"I haven't gone home to sweep the tombs for a long time, and I want to go back to see my grandfather and parents. After things are settled here, will you come back with me?"

Although Su Mo had already taken life and death lightly, today's memorial service had also touched him greatly. For a moment, feelings of longing surged into his heart.

"Okay."

Qiancheng Xue nodded in reply.

"Thank you."

Su Mo replied gratefully.

Qiancheng Xue showed a faint smile, reached out and stroked Su Mo's face and said.

"You don't need to say thank you to me."
