Chapter 68: Confronting the Ancestral Hall

Ran Ziyu subconsciously pulled her shirt, and at that moment, she forgot Liu Ruyan's words. The curtain opened, and she saw that the road ahead was paved with snow, loose, and there was a problem at first glance.

She grabbed her, just wanted to save her. However, she still broke free of her hand.

"Ahh Liu Ruyan screamed loudly, and her warm and bright voice was as usual. Soon he fell off the pride and fell on the pile of snow, and the snow collapsed.

The mother-in-law next to the sedan chair made a look, the servant who carried the sedan chair understood, and the servant behind raised the sedan chair. Ran Ziyu was poured into the snow pit like an object, and the dazzling blade was sharp and shiny......

Ancestral Hall of the Ran Family

There are rows of spiritual positions on the top, and the portrait of the ancestor of the Ran family, the founding minister of the country, is hung on the top, with armor and a sharp and calm gaze, even if it is a portrait, the eyes are as if they are alive, looking at the descendants of the Ran family who came here to worship. He paid tribute to his green dragon sword, which was rusty.

The patriarch Ran Jaw was pale and white-haired, and sat on the throne on the side. From time to time, he stroked his white beard and made a low, deep "um" sound, making people think he was thinking about something.

The other tribesmen sat and stood according to their elders and young. Even if you are extremely bored, you can't whisper to the people around you.

"Huh? Why hasn't Yu girl come yet? The patriarch asked impatiently as he stroked his beard.

"The eldest daughter-in-law has called, and she is coming." Old Taijun Qi, who was sitting on the second throne next to him, smiled lovingly, like a benevolent grandmother who was delaying time for her children and grandchildren.

Ran Shicang was also worried that the entry ceremony was a big event, and when the auspicious time passed, he would miss the opportunity, and he would be regarded as an ominous person and neglect the ancestors. It is necessary to ask the masters to do it, ask for the forgiveness of the ancestors, and then choose an auspicious day.

After all, after many years of husband and wife, Mrs. Si saw Ran Shicang's worries. Shake his hand and smile at him.

Old Taijun Qi slowly fiddled with the Bodhi bracelet, and her bark-like face was calm and peaceful. No matter how powerful that girl is, she is still too young. I hope that Liu Ruyan can live up to this responsibility, but if Liu Ruyan is useless, there will be a follow-up......

Ran Ziming saw that Ran Ziyu hadn't come for so long, and he was worried that Ran Ziyu would miss the score ceremony and suffer in vain. Second, I was worried that something had happened to Ran Ziyu, after all, her martial arts were abolished by her father.

If you think about it, you still want to see it for yourself. But he was stopped by Ran Zirou beside him, "Second brother, the patriarch and the old lady are here, where are you going?" ”

Ran Zirou's gentle and sickly tone was mixed with knife-like meanness, and at that moment, he was confused for a moment: Is this still his Rou'er sister?

Smoky eyebrows, watery round eyes, and a low cough on his chest...... It's his Rou'er sister.

"Presumptuous!" The patriarch suddenly slapped the table, and the tea cup on it moved. "Ran Shicang! It's already too big for your daughter not to go to the mountain to worship her ancestors, and the ancestors have invited her, so she will be lazy? ”

The patriarch is old, and since his eighty birthday, he even speaks quietly, and he is happy every day. When any good or bad things in the clan reached his ears, they all smiled gently. Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and he is old and can't take care of these. I just want to live a few more years every day and in harmony.

Therefore, when he heard the news that Miss Yecheng Ran was crowned the crown princess, he just stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction, and continued to drink his West Lake Longjing. Hearing that Yu Yatou came again, the family was disrespectful and unreasonable, and he didn't say anything. Ran Shifeng and Ran Ziwei died unexpectedly, and he just shook his head and sighed for the two of them. Now, the spirits of the ancestors have been invited, but she has not come, and even the ancestors have neglected it. He couldn't bear this, in case the ancestors blamed him on his head and took him away in advance, Futu I, he still wanted to live for a few more years.

So, this time he couldn't bear it anymore.

The patriarch, who had always been good-natured, was furious, and no one else in the ancestral hall dared to say a word.

Especially Ran Shicang, who hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty. After all, Yu Yatou is his youngest daughter, and he is so neglected that he, as a father, is to blame.

Old Taijun Qi's small black bean eyes emitted a strange light. The old bark-like face is still the same as before, but it gives people the feeling of laughing.

Yes, let Liu Ruyan assassinate Ran Ziyu, and at the same time remove the big trouble, it will make the patriarch angry, no matter how promising the Yecheng Ran family is, it will also have a noble status among the clansmen.

"Patriarch! Old lady! Dear Elders, Dear Elders! Before I saw anyone, I heard a delicate and quiet voice sound. Because the patriarch was angry, the entire ancestral hall was so quiet that even a needle could be heard, so the soft and sweet girl's voice was not loud but clearly reached everyone's ears.

Old Taijun Qi frowned slightly, and followed everyone to look for the voice.

I saw a girl in a white dress slowly walking in with the support of the maid. The gauze skirt hung like tassels in pieces, swaying with staggering steps. The hair behind the ears on his forehead was messy, and on his pale face, there was a pair of long and big autumn water in his eyes, and there was a deep water in his eyes. A bright red bleeding wound on the back of the snow-white hand stained the sleeve red, and in the hand, the sapphire embedded in the phoenix's eyes on the Broken Moon Whip shone with a cold light.

The crowd was shocked. It's not that I'm surprised by Ran Ziyu's embarrassed appearance, but that she entered the ancestral hall with a weapon, which is a big taboo.

"Little sister!" Ran Ziming exclaimed in a low voice, why was he injured again? Sure enough, someone wanted to harm her! Ran Shicang was also surprised for a moment, and then shouted angrily in a low voice, "Ran Ziyu!" Remind her that weapons cannot be brought into the ancestral hall.

Ran Ziyu raised his head slightly, walked to the hall in the contemptuous and angry eyes of everyone, and paused slightly when he passed Ran Shicang, "Yu'er is late, but before Yu'er asks for sin, Yu'er has something to ask the old lady." ”

After that, as soon as she broke the moon whip, the mother-in-law who had monitored her and Liu Ruyan before was pulled in front of Old Taijun Qi. She also staggered back a few steps because of this powerful whip, and her arm hurt terribly.

"Old lady! Old lady! The mother-in-law knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Mrs. Qi in panic.

Everyone recognized that this was the second-class maid-in-law beside Mrs. Qi - Mama Yang. And Old Taijun Qi sat steadily, still looking calm, and said in a deep voice: "Ran Shicang, the good daughter you taught." ”

Ran Shicang was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak, Ran Ziyu looked at his father's embarrassed appearance, and sighed helplessly. Zhengse said: "Old lady, you teach a good servant." ”

Kicked Mama Yang.

Mama Yang understood, knelt down respectfully in front of the patriarch, wiped her tears and said, "The second class of the Ran family is waiting for the mother-in-law Yang to meet the patriarch!" Miss Mi didn't mean to be late, but ...... Instead......" timidly glanced at Old Taijun Qi, and then at Ran Ziyu timidly, "Old Taijun asked the eldest lady to pick up Miss Mi in person and find an opportunity to assassinate Miss Mi...... Again...... Then turn the sedan chair into the snow pit on the path......"

As soon as these words came out, not only the people of the clan were shocked, but even the patriarch stopped brushing his beard.

"What nonsense are you talking about, you?" Mrs. Qi glanced at Mama Yang coldly, and squeezed the Bodhi bracelet in her hand tightly.

Ran Ziyu smiled, this old lady is worthy of being the daughter of a general, in the end, she is a person who has seen the bloody wind and rain, and she can still change her face in the face of such ironclad evidence, and her breath is as usual.

"Mother......" Ran Zixiong called in a low voice, and his clear face seemed to be covered with a layer of gray mist. In the end, it was the mother and son who were connected, and he understood why he always felt extremely painful in his heart.

Mother......

The head of the family, Ran Shiqing, said in a deep voice: "Evil servant, Hugh is talking nonsense!" ”

"Patriarch Mingjian! Dear Elders! I'm not talking nonsense! It's the old lady! The old lady felt that Miss Mi was difficult to tame, and was afraid that Miss Mi would be detrimental to the Ran family if she got the momentum in the future, so she told the eldest lady to find an opportunity to assassinate Miss Mi! Mama Yang kowtowed so much that her head was swollen.

The patriarch didn't say a word, just quietly looked at the people in the ancestral hall.

"Someone! Pull this evil servant down! Ran Shiqing said loudly.

"Cai Wei!"

Cai Wei immediately stepped forward and subdued the two domestic servants who came up to the ground.

"Miss Mi......" Mama Yang's voice trembled with fear, she knew that she was taken down in this situation, for the glory of the Ran family, she would be beaten to death with a stick, and then thrown into the dry well of the forbidden courtyard......

"Now that you have told the truth, I am responsible for you." Ran Ziyu glanced at Mama Yang condescendingly and said lightly.

"Why does the eldest uncle want to kill people so quickly." Ran Ziyu sighed and choked up, "You know what? Aunt Liu is dead, and the woman who gave birth to your children is dead! ”

He staggered and strode in front of Old Taijun Qi, raised the Broken Moon Whip and pointed at her, and said hoarsely, "The murderer is here!" What about you? Not only did you not avenge her, but you shielded her killers! ”

At that time, she fell from the sedan chair into the snow pit, and there was a sharp knife in the blood pit, and it was Liu Ruyan who used her body to cushion her under her to prevent her from being injured. When the black-clothed Haowei rescued them from the snow pit, she was fine, and Liu Ruyan, her whole body was full of bloody holes, and she couldn't close her eyes with hatred but no regrets......

Ran Shiqing, as the head of the family, although he also knows about Qi Taijun's private methods, but Qi Laotaijun is his biological mother, Liu Ruyan is just the daughter of a businessman, and the position of wife is indeed not suitable for her.

"You...... nonsense...... "But Liu Ruyan has been with him for decades...... married him when he was only the most incompetent and inconspicuous young master of the Ran family, and accompanied him from the side courtyard to the main courtyard of the family......

The grandchildren and granddaughters of the Ran family of the "son" generation did not say a word, Ran Zixiong gasped, and the hand covered by his sleeves clenched tightly into a fist......

"The ancestors of the Ran family are on top! If I Yang say a lie, there will be five thunderstorms in the sky! Fall into the eighteenth layer of hell, and never be reborn! Mama Yang swore to the tablet of the ancestor of the Ran family in the hall, and her voice was long with crying.

So the people believed a little. The oath made in the name of the ancestors is naturally cautious, and it is obviously not a good thing for Old Taijun Qi to be in today's position.

Ran Ziyu was also a little surprised. It's not because Mama Yang swears, but I wonder what method Haoyi used to make Mama Yang swear a poisonous oath, not to mention whether it is useful or not, this heart is very moving.

After thinking about it, even Haowei knew the art of mastering people, so wouldn't his master be better at these...... Xuanyuan Hao...... In fact...... It's not human, is it?
