Ding Yao didn't intend to go.
To show respect to the dead, she didn't want those rascals to make a scene in the mourning hall.
She told the messenger the reason that she was not going.
Ding Yao said indifferently, "Holding a vigil has always been the responsibility of the children in the family. Although I'm a granddaughter, I carry a different surname. I'll definitely attend the funeral."
The servant conveyed Ding Yao's message to Lin Biao, who then arranged his plan on the day of the funeral.
To settle things as soon as possible, he immediately decided to hold the funeral the next day.
The news of Mrs. Lin Biao's demise spread to the palace.
Consort Rou shut herself in her room and bowed toward the direction of the Lin Residence.
Consort Rou said, "The fate between you and me is thin and shallow. We will never meet again in the next life! Please rest in peace!"
