Chapter 144: The Second Lady is Dumb
"What happened, why did the ancestral hall go out of the water?"
Hearing that there was a fire in the ancestral hall, Ling Mao hurried over with a few sons, and saw Mrs. Tai and several daughters-in-law standing aside, questioning with a dark face.
But no one answered him.
Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, he knew that the fire could not be extinguished, and the fire in Ling Mao's heart became more and more vigorous, "Who set fire to the ancestral hall?" ”
Although Ling Mao has been stripped of his official position by the emperor, he has been in a high position for many years, and his momentum is still the same as before.
Ling Chu raised her eyes and glanced at her grandfather lightly, she was not frightened by the momentum on his body, but she didn't want to open her mouth to bear this anger.
But the second lady Xu was frightened by this momentum, and blurted out at once, "The ancestral hall was burned by the heavenly fire." ”
As soon as the words came out, the second lady was instantly annoyed, how could she accidentally ruin the words she muttered in her heart.
But then she was stunned, how did her voice recover?
However, before it was too late, he saw Ling Mao shouting angrily at him, "What did you say? ”
Facing her father-in-law's cannibalistic gaze, the second lady trembled in her heart, and subconsciously stretched out her hand to point at Ling Chu, "It's the eldest girl, the thunder fire was attracted by the eldest girl." ”
When the second old man Ling Yao heard his wife's words, he was stunned. Yu Guang swept the dark faces of his father and eldest brother, and couldn't help but shout angrily, "Yang, what nonsense are you talking about!" ”
Ling Yao knew that his wife, like everyone else in the mansion, didn't like this niece, but he didn't expect his wife to say such a ridiculous thing.
The niece is just a god with a bad personality and not a powerful god, so how could she attract thunder and fire to burn down the ancestral hall.
Seeing that her husband and children were here, the second lady felt confident in her heart, and was stimulated by the sarcastic smile on Ling Chu's face, and the courage in the second lady returned.
"I'm not talking nonsense, it was Mrs. Tai who called the eldest girl to the ancestral hall and asked her to offer incense to her ancestors. But the eldest girl lit three incense sticks, and the three incense sticks were all just lit and suddenly disappeared without saying anything, and the incense was disconnected from the middle.
Mrs. Tai asked the eldest girl to kneel and kowtow to her ancestors, who knew that the eldest girl had just knelt down on the futon, not only did all the spirit cards on the table fall, but there was also a sudden thunder in the sky.
Mrs. Tai asked the eldest girl to kneel for the second time, and the ancestral hall was split by the thunder. If it weren't for the eldest girl who did something angry and resentful, the ancestors of the Ling family would not refuse to accept her incense, and the ancestral hall would not have been burned by the thunder fire. ”
Ling Chu had been listening silently, and did not open his mouth to stop the second lady's words.
Because it can't be hidden, and there's no need to hide it.
Ling Chu waited for the second lady to explain everything clearly, and then quietly started to pinch her again.
The second lady didn't know that she couldn't speak again, and after she finished telling what had happened, she was only gloating in her heart at this time.
This dead girl has to shed a layer of skin even if she doesn't die this time.
If she hadn't helped Jinyiwei copy out the ink-greedy Tibetan silver, her father-in-law would not have been stripped of his official position by the emperor. Now that the ancestral hall has been burned again, I don't believe that this calamity can still be safe.
After listening to the second lady's words, Ling Mao frowned and asked the lady on the side, "What the Yang family said is true?" ”
Mrs. Tai did not speak, only nodded silently.
Originally, she saw Ling Chu contradicting herself many times, and without her consent, she privately proposed to withdraw from the marriage in front of Mama Wang. Mrs. Tai felt that she was really disrespectful, so she called her to the ancestral hall.
The purpose was to teach her a lesson in front of the spirit tablets of the ancestors and ancestors, and then let her kneel in the ancestral hall to reflect on it as a punishment.
Who knew that it would lead to such an unwarranted disaster.
Although Mrs. Tai didn't say that the thunder fire was caused by Ling Chu, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart at this time, if she hadn't called Ling Chu to the ancestral hall, would there not be a fire?
Ling Mao looked at Ling Chu with a complicated gaze, "First sister, what do you have to say?" ”
For this granddaughter, Ling Mao really doesn't like it.
He thought that the silver was hidden enough that even the brocade guards couldn't find it.
Unexpectedly, he was slapped by this granddaughter who had just returned to Beijing.
Because of that money, he was demoted to a commoner by the emperor, and he was also regarded as an outcast over there.
His life's career was ruined like this.
It is naturally impossible to say that there is no resentment in the heart.
Ling Chu didn't grow up in the mansion since she was a child, and although Ling Zong didn't have much affection for her, he saw that the second lady pressed the charge of the ancestral hall fire on her, and his wife was silent about it.
Ling Zong's brows couldn't help but wrinkle, "Father, what did you ask the junior sister to say, what the younger sister said was just nonsense. The first sister is not good at fortune, but she has not done anything wrong.
The ancestral hall was burned by thunder and fire, but it was just a coincidence, how could you blame this on the first sister. ”
Ling Chu was surprised, she really didn't expect this cheap father to speak out to defend herself.
Ling Mao was unmoved, and reprimanded coldly, "There are still rules in your eyes, but your father didn't ask you, stand aside." ”
Ling Zong frowned, it was not good to confront his father in public again, so he had to secretly give Dong a look and motioned for her to help Ling Chu speak.
However, Dong ignored his hints, and held the handkerchief in both hands and lowered his eyes silently.
Ling Chu saw these in his eyes, there was no wave in his heart, and he raised his head and looked directly at Ling Mao, "Father is right, what the second aunt said is just nonsense."
If the ancestral hall was split by heavenly thunder, the ancestors of the Ling family were dissatisfied, so that they were punished by heaven, and the second aunt became mute, could it also be the punishment of the ancestors of the Ling family for her immorality? ”
The gloating expression on the second lady's face froze, and she subconsciously wanted to refute it.
To her horror, however, she was unable to speak again.
Seeing that the second lady opened and closed her mouth for a long time, but there was no sound, everyone couldn't help but be surprised.
Ling Luo and the Ling brothers and sisters walked quickly to the second lady, pulling her sleeves and shouting, "Mother, mother, what's wrong with you?" ”
Seeing that they were anxious, the second lady subconsciously wanted to open her mouth to comfort them, but she couldn't make a sound at all.
At this moment, all the people present changed their faces.
Ling Mao's eyes darkened with anger, and he didn't care about asking Ling Chu anymore, "Today's matter, everyone will keep their mouths shut for me, if anyone dares to leak half a sentence to the outside, get out of the Ling family." ”
As soon as the Ling Mansion fell, the ancestral hall was destroyed by thunder and fire, and the daughter-in-law became mute. If there is even the slightest rumor of this matter, the Ling family will really have no place to stand in the capital.
Ling Mao threw his sleeves away, and Mrs. Tai could only keep a calm face and instructed her three sons to clean up the ruins of the ancestral hall in person, and then invite craftsmen to rebuild the ancestral hall.
The second lady covered her neck with her hands and glared at Ling Chu with a resentful expression, she didn't expect to let this disaster star escape again, not to mention that she had become dumb.
