Erqing accompanied the process throughout, handling the handover of the house and land deeds, and then sent Ancestor Mu back to the Mu family.
On the road, in the mule cart, Erqing took out a silver note worth fifty taels and gave it to Ancestor Mu: "This is a red envelope from the Young Master, please, keep it."
Ancestor Mu's eyesight was poor, but he vaguely recognized it was a silver note, and waved it off, saying, "No, no, Miss Gu has already done this old woman a great favor, so I can't take this silver note."
Miss Gu already offered three thousand taels in silver out of kindness, taking another fifty taels would weigh on her conscience.
She knew very well that their family house was an old residence that hadn't been repaired for twenty years, swaying like a boat every time the wind and rain came, ready to collapse at any moment, it wasn't worth much at all.
