Sitake walked in.

He said, "Girl, I just went to see my mother, and I heard a news that the old lady asked her to check Xu's mother and searched for hundreds of taels of silver. ”

After the fire, Jiang's mother and Xu's mother were locked up together.

Sizhu lowered her voice and said, "Girl, I don't know what the old lady will do with Mother Xu." ”，

She half-lowered her eyelids, covering all her emotions, Mother Xu, she can't live today.

After the ancestral hall is opened at the latest, it will be disposed of.

As he was talking, the mother-in-law who listened came over to pass the word, "The old lady said that the elders of the clan are already in the ancestral hall, let the girl come over." ”

In the courtyard, a soft sedan chair is prepared.

Xue Ling got off the sedan chair, and sure enough, she saw that Mrs. Xue was already waiting at the gate of the courtyard.

Xue Ling stepped forward and saluted, "Grandmother." ”

Old Madam Xue held Xue Ling's left hand, "Don't be afraid, everything has a grandmother." ”

Xue Ling nodded.

Mrs. Xue sorted out the broken hair on Xue Ling's sideburns, "I've already thought about it, in fact, witchcraft is such a thing, you have to pay attention to talent, your father has always told me before his death, you have learned above your two elder brothers, so teaching you witchcraft has never been hidden, in the past, due to the identity of your daughter's family, these things were not made public, and I only told the Xue family that I taught some ordinary witchcraft, but now I don't have to hide it, you can show your ability, the clan elders will only be happy, and will not embarrass you." ”

Xue Ling's heart moved, and she raised her head to look at her grandmother, it turned out that her grandmother had also thought of such a method.

My grandmother's eyes were bloodshot and she seemed to be unable to sleep all night.

Xue Ling was stunned.

Old Mrs. Xue looked at Xue Ling and sighed slightly, "Actually, I've been thinking about this matter for the past few days, Ah Ling, you are your daughter's family, your father taught you witchcraft, maybe you have a mind just in case, but grandmother doesn't want you to get involved in these disputes, inheritance should be a man's business, and you shouldn't be asked to bear this." ”

Mrs. Xue has always been suspicious in her heart, not knowing whether this is the right thing to do, just like drinking to quench her thirst, she can take care of the present, but she can't take care of it in the future.

Xue Ling held Mrs. Xue's hand, "Let's go in." ”

Old Mrs. Xue entered the ancestral hall and was invited to the top.

No matter how much right to speak or not, Mrs. Xue's seniority in the Xue family is naturally beyond doubt.

Xue Ling slowly walked in.

The right hand has been wrapped in medicine like a rice dumpling.

She stood in the middle of the hall and saluted one by one, "I've seen all the elders." ”

There were a number of people sitting on either side of the room, according to their seniority.

Among them, there are three people from Xue Ling's grandfather generation and five people from his uncle's generation.

The eldest is a tall and thin old man, who is the cousin of Xue Ling's grandfather, who is quite senior and named Xue Chengjing.

Xue Chengjing's eyes fell on Xue Ling's body, and in the end, he still said with concern first, "You have just recovered from a serious illness, so you don't have to salute like this, go and sit next to your grandmother." ”

Xue Ling said, "Thank you Second Grandfather for worrying, I'm getting better." ”

Old Madam Xue raised her hand, "Don't be afraid, your second grandfather loves you very much, and the elders also love you very much, you can say whatever you want, don't be afraid." ”

Xue Ling saluted again, "Thank you, elders." ”

Xue Chengjing's voice dropped a few points before asking, "Ah Ling, the Xue family's ancestral medical book has really been destroyed?" ”

After a moment of silence, the voices began to rise and fall.

Everyone is in a hurry to express an impatient point of view.

Xue Ling watched quietly, without saying a word, she was no longer a girl who had not experienced the world in her previous life, and now she has experienced the warmth and coldness of human affection, and there is no trace of ups and downs in her heart for the faces of these clansmen, and she can even watch coldly.

Old Madam Xue couldn't stand it anymore, she finally spoke, her voice was solemn, "Don't ask anymore, this matter has happened, you already know about it, this will ask a girl, what answer do you want to hear." ”

The room finally quieted down a little, but the mood could not be calmed down.

Xue Chengjing said first, "Sister-in-law, you can't say that, this Xue family's witchcraft is so important, but it was handed over to her little girl for safekeeping, and now it is destroyed, how can it be good." ”

Old Madam Xue got up and pulled Xue Ling behind her, "I know why this happened, and everyone knows that if you want to talk about your mistakes carefully, everyone is not good-looking." No matter whose fault it is, it is never Ah Ling's fault. I, Xue Qiu, have been married into the Xue family for decades, and I have never made a mistake in asking myself, but now I just want to ask, the Xue family is a family of witch doctors, and now the elders want to oppress a younger generation who has just experienced the pain of losing his father? ”

After Mrs. Xue finished speaking, even if everyone still wanted to say something, it was difficult to speak again.

Xue Ling's cold heart was finally a little moved at the moment.

The eye circles are slightly moist.

Grandmother, who pays the most attention to fame, is now fighting against the clan elders for her sake, which is something she never thought of before.

A tear slipped down her cheek, and the hot temperature made her feel an indescribable feeling.

This appearance fell into the eyes of everyone, and it brought some little girls' feelings of weakness.

At this time, a rough voice remembered, "Sister-in-law is right, this matter really shouldn't be borne by Ah Ling, and she can't afford it as a little girl, but in this situation, she has to think of a way." ”

Xue Ling looked at the man, this was his grandfather's youngest brother, ranked fifth, named Xue Chengxiao.

Xue Ling didn't expect that the first person to speak for himself was this fifth grandfather.

All the people looked at each other, unable to make up their minds for a moment.

Xue Ling estimated that the time was almost up, so she got up and said, her voice was hoarse, echoing in the ancestral hall, "Daddy gave me the Book of the Witch Doctor. ”

"What could be the reason?" A voice rang out.

Old Lady Xue frowned, she didn't know what Ah Ling was going to say, and she couldn't help but feel a little anxious in her heart.

However, Xue Ling's words obviously aroused everyone's interest, and all eyes were focused on her.

I'd like to hear what she has to say.

Xue Ling said slowly, "Back to the elders, my father once used the technique of divination to deduce that the medical book might be destroyed, so when he handed it to me, he asked me to carry it with him. It's my father's trust, but I don't want to take on this responsibility alone. ”

This was the first time she had said such a thing in public, word by word, extremely cold and chilling.

When she said this, everyone's faces were a little embarrassed.

At this time, Xue Jihong spoke, "You child, the medical book was lost in your hands, the elders wanted to pity you for being young and couldn't bear to be harsh, you are good, how can you still push it to others." ”

As soon as these words fell, a few began to echo them.

Xue Ling just watched quietly and didn't say a word.
