Chapter 152: Moving the Ancestral Grave

“Mother, don’t worry. It’s a good thing. Father ordered me to supervise the country with the help of the Grand Tutor and the Prime Minister,” the Crown Prince said to the Empress with a smile.

Hearing the crown prince’s words, the empress was completely relieved.

So that was what was going on. In other words, her son would be emperor soon, and she was going to become the empress dowager.

This was a good thing.

However, neither of them knew that although the emperor had given this order, he had also dug a huge pit for the crown prince.

When the crown prince took over, he would realize that money was needed everywhere. The emperor was in a hurry to abdicate because he had a headache over these things.

The emperor’s imperial edict was already on the way, and Ning Yue was chatting with her family. Old Master Ning and Ning Yue mentioned the relocation of the ancestral grave.

“Although we escaped from the wilderness, we’ve already decided on this place. I’m thinking that our family’s ancestral grave has to be moved over. There’s no one in our hometown anymore. There’ll be no one to take care of the place where the ancestors are resting.”

If they arranged for someone to stay there, those newcomers might dig out their ancestors. That could not be allowed!

“If you want to move the ancestral grave, so be it. When the time comes, we’ll just let the masters take a look at the fengshui.” Ning Yue did not think too much about it.

Hearing Ning Yue’s words, Old Master Ning became even more worried. He sighed.

“It’s not that easy to move the graves. We have to find a treasured place, but we don’t have the final say in the land here. Our ancestors take up many tombs. We need a lot of land.”

“Land is a problem. In addition, we have to find someone to go back to the graves. Then, we have to transport the tombs over. It will take a lot of manpower and time.”

The most important problem was the land. Old Master Ning could not think of a place that could accommodate so many tombs.

“Oh, so that’s what Grandpa is thinking about. Grandpa, let me tell you something. I received definite news that the emperor is going to confer me the title of princess and reward me with a few fiefs. When the time comes, we can move the ancestors to my fiefs.”

Hearing Ning Yue’s words, Old Master Ning suddenly rolled his eyes and fainted.

Ning Yue was shocked by Old Master Ning. Why did he faint all of a sudden? Was this news a blow?

Without thinking, she quickly woke Old Master Ning up.

She quietly poured a bowl of water from the ancient well in her space. “Grandpa, drink some water first. Don’t be so agitated. If you’re so agitated, I won’t dare to tell you anything in the future.”

Old Master Ning drank the ancient well water and finally calmed down. “You said that the emperor wanted to confer you as a princess. Why?”

“Perhaps he values the Prince Jin’s Residence more. I don’t know the details,” Ning Yue said.

She did not intend to let Old Master Ning know that she had gone to the battlefield. Although it was over, Old Master Ning did not look like he could withstand the stimulation.

“He’ll confer you the title of princess and give you a fief?” Old Master Ning asked again.

Ning Yue nodded again. “Yes.”

“Oh my god, our ancestral grave is smoking.” Old Master Ning smiled from ear to ear.

Seeing Old Master Ning’s smile, Ning Yue was a little speechless. She didn’t know who fainted from the stimulation just now.

“But Grandpa, as the decree hasn’t been issued, we can’t publicize this. When the emperor’s decree is issued, others will know.”

Old Master Ning nodded.

Indeed, before the imperial decree was issued, there were still variables that could not be announced.

“Then I understand. After this matter is confirmed, we’ll find someone to check the time and send a few people back to our hometown to move our ancestors back.”

Old Master Ning was no longer troubled. With Ning Yue’s fief, it would be much easier to move the graves.

“Yueyue, you’re really our family’s lucky star!” Old Master Ning said happily to Ning Yue.

With the matter of moving the grave resolved, Old Master Ning was relieved. He chatted with Ning Yue for a while. He was about to get up and go to the oil press to take a look when a few people suddenly came.

The moment those people arrived, they knelt in front of Old Master Ning and cried, “Brother Ning, please save us!”
