Chapter 706 - 703: No Regrets_1
Mrs. Dong pressed her lips together and sat there for a long time without making a sound.
She already knew that her son was alive.
But her husband... she had heard that Kid had personally retrieved her husband’s head from the enemy camp, so there was no possibility of him surviving.
Birthdays... Kid definitely missed his grandfather and father.
At this moment, Bai Qingyan stood in the Bai Clan’s ancestral hall before numerous ancestral tablets. She covered her heart with one hand, holding incense in the other... lighting it with a flickering candle flame.
Outside the tightly closed gates of the ancestral hall, Steward Hao and Lu Ping, along with the Bai family’s guards, stood watch.
The solemnly majestic ancestral hall with its six yellow pearwood carved flower partitions was open. The curtains descending from the sandalwood beams were hooked by copper hooks onto the black ebony pillars adorned with lotus carvings. Hundreds of lotus oil lamps on high stands flickered, casting a warm glow throughout the solemn and serene hall.
The meticulously polished black tablets stood prominently on the front altar table, and a gilt Boshan incense burner emitted wisps of white smoke.
The flickering candlelight highlighted Bai Qingyan’s flawless, pale features, making her eyes appear even deeper and more determined.
She lit the incense, extinguished the flames with her hand, respectfully raised the incense above her head with both hands, and placed it into the incense burner. Kneeling on the prayer mat, she bowed three times, clutching her aching heart, and sat silently, gazing at her grandfather’s and father’s tablets, her eyes glistening with tears.
