Chapter 133: The Dark Room of the Ancestral Hall
Ruan Cixi didn't know why the Ruan family had such a thing as a life card, and how it was related to human life, but she knew that Chi Dong had a life card in the ancestral hall.
And she, no.
Ruan Cixi is the only one in the Ruan family who does not have a life card.
If it weren't for Ruan Cixi's conviction that she was a member of the Ruan family, maybe she would have doubted her identity.
Ruan Jingtian didn't know that Ruan Cixi had already discovered the fate card, so he never explained the Ruan family's life card to Ruan Cixi, and now that he was not there, Ruan Cixi couldn't explore the reason.
Ruan Cixi knew about the fate card, but Feng Yunxue told her.
Thinking about it now, Feng Yunxue probably wanted to use her at that time.
After all, this is a necessary life card for the Ruan family, and even Chi Dong has it, but she doesn't have it.
In this case, perhaps ordinary people will have a little suspicion.
It's just that Nguyen Cixi won't.
It is precisely because Chi Dong has the life card, but she does not, that it is doubtful.
Ruan Jingtian's love for her was not fake at all, so after thinking about it for a long time, Ruan Cixi guessed another possibility.
Maybe the fate card itself is problematic.
The original Ruan family was always suspicious of the emperor, and there were many things that were unsatisfactory and aggrieved everywhere, but this situation was only slowly improved when her parents died in the year she was born, and Ruan Cimo was lost.
Leaving the old and the young Ruan family in vain doesn't seem so dangerous.
Ruan Cixi came to the ancestral hall and lit the candles in the ancestral hall.
During the day, she came here to talk to her father, and now, she was looking for a mechanism.
Ruan Cixi knew that the fate card was in the ancestral hall, and he also knew that there was a mechanism that hid the life card in a secret room, and these Feng Yunxue also knew.
But Feng Yunxue didn't know where the organ was, but Ruan Cixi did.
After Ruan Cixi lit the candlesticks one by one, the ancestral hall became bright, and Ruan Cixi's eyes fell on the layers of tablets.
When Ruan Jingtian moved, he used the largest hall to place these tablets, and everyone's tablets were well preserved, clean and complete, without a trace of dust.
It was the first time that Ruan Cixi had read all the names written on the tablets.
The Ruan family tree is something that every Ruan family member has to memorize since childhood, and the name of each Ruan family member is engraved in Ruan Cixi's mind.
Of these tablets, only one of them is not on the genealogy.
Ruan Cixi gently pushed the tablet with his hand.
"I'm sorry for the offense." Ruan Cixi said softly.
She didn't know if there was such a person in the tablet with the wrong name, but some politeness should still be there.
The wall on one side of the ancestral hall quietly receded, revealing a door-sized entrance.
Ruan Cixi picked up the candlestick and walked into the darkness that lurked inside.
The wall behind him returned quietly to its original state without making a sound.
After walking through the short dark passage, Ruan Cixi's eyes suddenly brightened.
This is a stone room made of dark stones, and countless square jade plaques are hung on the stepped square platform in the center, and the plaques that exude the glow of jade are hung closer to the upper floor, and the jade plaques on the lower floor are almost all gray.
Oil lamps are regularly installed on the walls all around, and the oil inside has a faint fragrance, which seems to have been added with some kind of spice, so that the lamp oil burns for a longer life.
Ruan Cixi came to the front of the square platform, this was the first time she saw the life card.
Something came as a surprise to her.
