The funeral of Jin Quan was conducted with great pomp. Every member of the Jin Family spared no expense to display the family's dignity. Although Mrs. Jin was heartbroken, she had to brace herself and oversee the arrangements to uphold the family's reputation.
At the funeral, relatives and friends came to pay their condolences. Jin Yanxi and others were in charge of receiving guests, making the scene grand and ceremonious. However, behind this magnificent ceremony, Mrs. Jin felt the fickleness of human feelings. The insincerity of some relatives chilled her heart.
After the funeral, Mrs. Jin thought back on Jin Quan's life alone and could not help shedding tears, lamenting the fickleness of the world. During the funeral, Jin Yanxi also appeared much more mature. He began to realize the family's responsibilities and his own duties.
Other family members, such as Jin Fengju and Jin Hesun, also had their own thoughts, but on the surface, they maintained harmony and filial piety. Mrs. Jin was deeply moved by Jin Quan's martyrdom. Despite the gossip from outside, she always believed in her husband's loyalty and kindness.
