The next day.
In the Song Family Mansion.
A few withered yellow vines entwined the broken rock garden stones, and the once splendid and flourishing courtyard garden was overgrown with weeds, appearing desolate and bleak.
Eldest Young Master Song Chen and Third Young Master Song Yu sat witheredly in the living room, their gazes slowly shifting to the center of the room.
There, a solitary memorial tablet was placed, inscribed with "In Memory of Our Late Father, Song Gongming."
Song Chen and Song Yu both rose in succession, each taking three sticks of incense and lighting them on a white candle.
The brothers stood side by side, pressing the three sticks of incense to their foreheads, then humbly knelt down, kowtowing thrice with resounding bangs.
The incense was placed by the two in the incense burner before the memorial tablet.
Several wisps of blue smoke spiraled upward.
The silent main hall began to be filled with the scent of sandalwood.
