Fu Ying issued a funeral notice the day after his daughter-in-law returned to her parents' home, which only bore his name as a filial son. There was no mention of Qin Wanyang as a daughter-in-law, nor of siblings Fu Yiqi and Fu Yisheng as grandchildren.
As for Shang Mingyu, she was even less likely to appear in the obituary.
Unlike Fu Yiqi and his mother, who were greatly disappointed, Qin Wanyang and her son and daughter-in-law were very calm. They had no desire for recognition, nor did they wish to have their names inscribed in the obituary.
Fu Ying respected the wishes of his wife and son.
Even though they never showed up from beginning to end, the funeral held at the mortuary was not desolate.
Many people attended the funeral out of respect for Fu Ying, but it was strange not to see Qin Wanyang and Fu Yisheng or Lu Qingqing. Only Fu Ying, siblings Fu Yiqi and their spouses and descendants were in mourning at the hall.
