Bab 563: Peace for the Dead, Good Fortune for the Living

Now that all the members of the Pang family had died, it was useless to dwell on who was innocent and who deserved to die.

"Since you're Young Lady Pang, then... After we get rid of the evil spirits, we will reveal the grave and dig out the bones of the living martyrs for another burial. Do you agree with that?" Xie Qiao asked.

Young Lady Pang was stunned for a moment. "Another burial? C-Can't we just get rid of the evil spirits?" 

Xie Qiao looked at her faintly, her gaze calm and unhurried. She said, "If you want someone else to be buried with your father, just move that wife and thirteen concubines over. The women in this grave are not related to you, so you should have let them go a long time ago." 

A living person being buried with others was usually to show off the power of the owner of the grave.
