chapter 6 Meeting a scumbag man and scumbag woman at a funeral ===

It has been three days since she was thrown into the mass grave, it seems that the Mu family thinks she's dead. They've already set up the mourning hall; all that's left is to bury her.
Serene Mu's figure swiftly passed by. She wanted to see how those old folks were handling the funeral of the Mu family's head.
Outside, people were crying bitterly, but inside the mourning hall, it was eerily cold.
Actually, it wasn't desolate. Her personal maid was still inside, keeping watch.
However, the girl dressed in pink, who was also a maid, quietly opened the coffin and started taking things out.
"Family Head, you're without your bones, the elders can only make a ceremonial grave. But inside, there are valuable items you used before passing. If you hadn't died, these things would have been gifted to me. Rather than being buried, why not give them to me?"
As she spoke, she took out some gold, silver, and jewellery and stuffed them into her own bosom.
At this moment, a sinister voice came over. "Since your family head treats you so well, you might as well accompany them in the afterlife! In hell, you can follow your family head, and you'll have all the treasures you want."
The girl in green heard a familiar voice and instantly felt a chill down her spine.
"Bang!" She hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.
She cried out, "Family Head, I don't want to die! I don't want to die yet. Please don't take me to be buried! It wasn't me who caused your death. If you want to blame someone, go find Miss Ouyang!"
"Hmm! Is this how much you wish for my death?" A purple figure floated down, and Serene Mu stood before her.
The girl in green looked up at that familiar face and screamed, "Ghost!"
"Cough, cough, cough..."
A delicate hand gripped her throat, and Serene Mu's lips curled up slightly. "Don't scream. If you do, I'll snap your neck."
"Bang!" Serene Mu tossed the girl aside like a rag.
The pain from the fall left her unable to get up. She cowered in the corner, trembling in fear, looking at Serene Mu. When the family head had her by the throat, there was warmth, which meant the family head wasn't dead.
But the family head now was completely different from before. There was no trace of the previous timidity and cowardice, only ruthlessness and danger. Was this really their family head?
"Family Head, have mercy! I only took a few of your jewellery, I've never done anything to harm you."
Just then, footsteps approached.
Serene Mu made a hushing gesture and said, "You keep crying here, pretend you didn't see me. I'll see who else today has the heart to come and pay respects to our family head."
Serene Mu hid behind the coffin, and the girl in green didn't dare to disobey her command.
Just then, a girl in pink rushed over, saying, "Serena, wuwuwu! How could you leave me behind? We're like sisters, if you die, I don't want to live either."
Her crying was heart-wrenching! Serene Mu covered her ears to avoid being tormented by her sobbing. This girl's crying was way too fake! It was as if she had lost a dear friend.
She remembered that her predecessor's heart had been set on the Crown Prince, and she definitely didn't have a preference for girls.
At that moment, a man in a brocade robe walked over, gently supporting the girl in pink. Looking at the tearful and pitiful appearance before him, his heart was melting.
He softly comforted her, "Lily, the dead can't come back to life. Don't cry and harm your own body."
"Wuwuwu! But, I'll never see Serena again. We weren't real sisters, but we were closer than sisters. Now she's gone, I... I..." Lily Mu cried, gasping for breath, her face pale, almost fainting.
Ethan Xuanyuan stared fiercely at the coffin, full of resentment!
Serene Mu, this useless waste, even in death, wouldn't let people live in peace. Making Lily cry like this because of her death.
There was no way around it, it was because Lily valued relationships too much.
Ethan Xuanyuan said, "Bring the gift I prepared for Family Head Mu."
Eight burly men carried in an emerald coffin, adorned with countless precious gems and pearls, worth a fortune.
The two senior elders looked at Ethan Xuanyuan and asked, "Prince Ethan, this..."
"Serene always liked such magnificent things. This crystal coffin is a bit too plain, this emerald coffin is more suitable for Serene. After all, Serene was my fiancée. Even though she's passed away, I still want her to have a comfortable resting place!"
The two elders expressed their gratitude, "Thank you, Prince Ethan."
Lily Mu looked deeply moved, "Brother Ethan, you're too good to Serene. If Serene could know, she'd be incredibly touched!"
Serene Mu, hidden in the shadows, sneered. If she really died today, once this dazzling emerald coffin was carried out of the Mu family, the wasteful extravagance of their family head's death would spread throughout the entire Purple Moon Country.
By sending such a lavish gift, Prince Ethan definitely had no good intentions.
Ethan Xuanyuan said, "Elder Mu, three years ago, I had an engagement with Serene. I never expected that she wouldn't become my Princess Ethan. Instead, she suffered such a fate. I am truly heartbroken."
His tone sounded like he really wanted to marry Serene Mu. "Now that Serene has passed, I don't want to be an unjust person. I will absolutely not cancel this engagement. Serene and Lily were like sisters. If Lily is willing to marry me in Serene's place, then Serene will surely be happy, and she will bless us."
Lily Mu earnestly said, "Serene, I will definitely stand in for you, take good care of Brother Ethan, and love him well."
