Chapter Seventy-Four: The Tablet
"Since Saburo has his own plans, let's talk about it later. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Lu Shi just tested Lin Sanlang's attitude, and she was not satisfied, but she was not in a hurry, the family business was still under her control, and the future was long, she didn't believe that the reckless Lin Saburo could take anything away from her.
"The worship is over, all the rooms are dispersed, Jin Shao, you take the two girls to stay and guard the ancestral hall."
With the support of Mrs. Wang, the Lu family got up and ordered, and everyone didn't say a word, but they heard a "pop" sound, and the sound of landing came from behind them.
"Yikes!"
Jin Shao got closer, and exclaimed in fright.
Mei Xueyan saw a tablet falling to the ground, and the bottom bracket was cracked and broken in half.
"This ......," Shen asked, patting his chest, "what's going on?" How could it fall down Ancestor Mo blame Ancestor Mo Blame ......"
Lu Shi shouted: "Don't talk nonsense! Jin Shao, pick it up quickly. ”
Jin Shao has a trace of fear, but there are many brave people, she has nothing to fear, and she picks up the tablet, and it seems that it is useless.
This is a trivial matter, but during the ancestor worship period, it is not a good sign that the tablet falls, and it is broken like this, can the ancestors not blame.
Jin Shao didn't know what to do with the tablet.
"Yes...... It is the spiritual seat of the first lady. Jin Shao whispered.
Lin Saburo frowned, walked over in a few steps, and held the tablet in his hand, which was his mother's name.
Everyone didn't dare to squeak, they all knew that since the old man and the first wife died one after another, Lin Sanlang went to join the army, he had no feelings for the Lin Mansion, and he had little ambition for the family property, and the only thing that made him care was the first lady.
This is his biological mother, Lin Sanlang never refused to call Lu's mother, that is, he is affectionate and nostalgic.
Lin Sanlang's eyes were like eating people, and the subordinates didn't dare to talk more at all, and even breathed carefully, and there was silence in the ancestral hall.
Shen Shi said with some trembling: "I'm afraid...... I'm afraid that we have done something inappropriate today, which will make Mrs. Xian unhappy. ”
Shen also introspected himself, she asked Lin Sanlang to give more money before, could it be that his dead ghost mother really has a spirit in the sky?
"Nonsense!" Lu Shi said angrily, "The Lin Mansion is not allowed to have these ghosts and gods, but the tablet was blown down by the wind, so why not re-offer it?" ”
Shen muttered, "I haven't even put out the candles, what a strange wind."
Only she heard this, and so did the people, who did not notice the wind, and the candle flame did not shake a little, which was also strange.
Jin Shao was the first to pick it up, her face was a little ugly, and she stretched out her finger and pointed to the back of the tablet.
"Husband...... Madam, the ...... behind this tablet"
When the lady looked closely, she found that there were many holes in the back of the tablet, some old and some new, and the sawdust had come out. The tablet was placed there, and few people dared to move it, so no one turned around to look at it, and no one noticed it at all.
Lu's expression was a little unnatural.
Lin Erlang came over and said, "It should be bitten by insects."
Shen Shi glanced at him and said: "This shouldn't be a bug bite, it's obviously a sharp poke, the bug bite hole is smooth, and there are no wood chips."
"That's a rat?" Lin Erlang asked.
"Stupid, this hole is neat and neat, the mouse can't bite out, I feel like a sharp stab, you see there are scratches."
Lin Erlang and Shen's words, you and I are decent.
"Who did it?!"
Lin Saburo asked gloomily, his voice was low and mellow, and he was angry at this moment, and a cold drink echoed in the ancestral hall, making people feel afraid.
Mei Xueyan looked at everyone's faces, the maid lowered her head in fright, Shen seemed to be indignant, but she didn't hide her excitement, Lin Xuan still had nothing to do with herself.
And the lady's face was calm, but it was obvious in her eyes that she was not as calm as she appeared.
Mei Xueyan stood aside and remained silent, just full of thoughts.
"It's a loss to see clearly that the muddy waters of the rich can't flow, and there are constant turmoil on weekdays, and the Lin family will have to break their heads and bleed in the future for the battle over family property?"
Mei Xueyan guessed that it was the Lu family who couldn't sit still the most, because she was the only one who had the most dislike with Mrs. Xian, and even hated her. Mrs. Xian was the main mother who pressed her before her death, and her son is still a son-in-law after her death, can she be willing?
No matter how generous Lu Shi behaved and took good care of Lin Sanlang, it would not dispel his doubts about her.
What's more, Lu often recites Buddha and prays in the ancestral hall, and has the most opportunities to touch the tablet.
However, the truth is often different from suspicion, and it is impossible for someone to take advantage of it.
"Who?" Mei Xueyan thought to herself, "Lin Erlang is the son of the Lu family, Lin Xuan is also her little daughter, it is impossible to harm her mother, and the Shen family has no need for this, she has little conflict with the Lu family, even if she provokes the conflict between Mrs. and Lin Sanlang, she has no interests to gain." ”
The Shen family was also excluded by Mei Xueyan, the Shen family was ruthless and arrogant, but there was not necessarily this city government fishing in troubled waters.
It's probably a girl who is not sensible, thinking that others can't find out, but this possibility is very small.
Lu Shi soothed: "San Lang, don't be impatient for a while, whether this is man-made or accidental is still inconclusive."
Then he asked solemnly, "Who have been in and out of the ancestral hall recently?"
The three maidens walked in trembling and knelt on the ground with a thud.
Mrs. Wang whispered to her wife: "It's the three girls who cleaned the ancestral hall before the Qingming Festival."
Mei Xueyan's heart moved slightly, it was wisteria, yellow apricot and red angelica, among which wisteria and yellow apricot were served by Xiangzhu Courtyard, Mei Xueyan noticed a trace of abnormality.
"Madame's question, you have to answer truthfully, who dares to play tricks and say half a lie, just pull it out and beat it to death!"
Mrs. Wang said fiercely, the Lu family has been with her master and servant for many years, and she naturally knows that if she is not involved, this crime will have to be deducted from the head of the lady.
Of course, no one in the Lin Mansion dared to blame the Lu family, but the Lu family has always paid attention to her words and deeds over the years, and she can't listen to others gossiping about her.
Lu asked majestically: "You three, when you are cleaning, does anyone know that there is a difference in the tablet of the first lady?"
"I don't know ......"
The three of them all shook their heads and denied it.
Mrs. Wang asked: "You are cleaning in the ancestral hall, and you can't even have dust on the corners, so you really haven't seen it?"
Hongzhi is clever and a little bolder.
"Back to Mrs., the three of us cleaned the ancestral hall, but because we were lowly people, we couldn't move the tablet, at most we just wiped the archway, we didn't even touch the tablet, and we didn't know why Mrs. Xian's tablet ......"
Mei Xueyan faintly felt that this matter was coming towards her, because she was the one who was responsible for cleaning the ancestral hall, and she was the only one who was qualified to touch the tablet.
