No one expected Grandma Evelyn Yin to say something so shocking.
Offering incense to the ancestors isn't something just anyone can do.
Only direct relatives listed in the family genealogy have this privilege.
So what does Grandma Evelyn Yin mean by asking the second Miss Yun to offer incense?
Is this her way of announcing the status of the Yin family's young mistress?
Or is she saying that this person is already the young mistress of the Yin family?
Cici had already been startled too many times today.
She was so bewildered now, her mind could barely keep up.
So she just stood there, stunned, not even thinking to refuse.
Grandma Evelyn Yin didn’t wait for Cici to refuse—she simply dragged her out of the dining room.
Just like that, Cici was inexplicably pulled into an incredibly grand building, where the servants stood in neat rows. As she walked past, they sprinkled a little clean water on her.
When Cici reached a cluster of memorial tablets, someone handed her a stick of burning incense.
"Grandma, I..." Cici started to refuse.
But Grandma Evelyn Yin nodded at her and said, "Even if it’s for Ethan, you need to offer these three sticks of incense."
Cici was deeply moved.
For Ethan...
Cici lowered her gaze and didn’t refuse anymore.
Yes, even if it’s just for her child, asking the ancestors of the Yin family to bless Ethan wasn’t too much, was it?
Cici knelt gently on the mat, respectfully offered the incense, and bowed.
When Cici finished, Grandma Evelyn Yin nodded in satisfaction and said, "I’m a bit tired now. I’ll go rest first. You all escort the young mistress out."
