Chapter 2 Ancestral Hall
In the ancestral hall of the Chang family, the head of the clan, the old man Chang San, sat in the main seat with his eyes slightly closed.

"Mr. Han, you have been married to my Chang family for many years. You must be familiar with the ancestral precepts of my Chang family. Do good deeds with good thoughts, and be filial and courteous. Don't you forget?" The third old master's voice was thick and deep Slowly, there is a pressing pressure in the huge ancestral hall.

Standing at the bottom of the head, Han's face is beautiful, but at this moment, his face is pale and dead.

"A Niang——" A crisp voice just fell, and Chang Luoyun had already stepped over the high threshold and walked in.

Han showed a pale and weak smile, "Yun'er, what are you doing here?"

"Auntie has been wronged, so there is no reason for my daughter not to come."

She turned around and bowed her knees to salute the third old lady. Her eyes were bright and her voice was clear and crisp, "Third grandfather, my aunt has always been diligent and thrifty in managing the house. She took good care of my grandmother and loved our brothers and sisters. When did I make a mistake? The ancestral motto of the Chang family, A Niang even mentions it from time to time, so we brothers and sisters must remember it, and she herself has never forgotten half a word."

The third old lady opened her eyes and nodded slightly, "Since your aunt is so virtuous and filial, why did you poison your grandmother?"

"Third Grandfather, please be clear." Chang Luoyun's immature body stood upright, like a bamboo plant, straight and flexible, neither humble nor overbearing, "Luoyun felt that someone else poisoned my grandmother. My aunt even trampled an insect to death. Even if I can't bear it, how can I poison my grandmother? What's more, although A Niang and my grandmother are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, my grandmother has always been kind, A Niang and my grandmother are like their own mother and daughter, they are too late to be filial, let alone poison them."

"Then let me ask you?" The third old man leaned forward, staring at Chang Luoyun with piercing eyes, "Is it true that your grandmother was poisoned?"

Chang Luoyun hesitated for a moment, "I don't know."

"Yun'er, your grandmother is indeed poisoned, and the doctor has confirmed it." Chang Kuan sighed.

"Is it true that the poison was found in your aunt's house?" The third old master continued to ask.

"Ah Niang." Chang Luoyun turned to look at Han Shi.

Han Shi didn't speak.

The old man Changsan let out a sigh of relief, leaned his fat body on the back of the chair, and said slowly, "Then what do you not believe?"

"Then someone must have framed my aunt, so I hope the third grandpa will find out." Chang Luoyun raised his face and tried to persuade the people in the seat, "If it was my aunt who poisoned grandma, why did she keep the poison? After people came and searched, shouldn’t the poison be discarded or hidden more secretly?”

"Well, it makes sense, then tell me, who will frame your mother?" The third old master looked at her with great interest.

"I don't know now?" Chang Luoyun was a little dazed, "It stands to reason that such a thing would never happen to a family like us, but... if people are looking for profit, they might do something."

Chang Luoyun frowned, and thought about it carefully, "Or else, why don't we report to the police?" Chang Luoyun just finished speaking, "Wow. Bang!"

A cup flew over and hit her in front of her with a jet of water, but the tea in the cup and the broken porcelain didn't fall on her body.

Han Shi has already quickly blocked in front of her, the splashed tea and broken porcelain fell on Han Shi's skirt, wet a large area.Han shi lowered her head, looking at the mess, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

"Han Xiuzhu, it doesn't count that you harmed my mother, and even ordered your daughter to harm my Chang family. Are you trying to ruin the reputation of the Chang family?" Chang Pu pushed away the chair and stood up, "Come on, Bring pen and paper, I want to write a letter of divorce."

"Divorce letter?" There was a trace of sarcasm on Han's pale face, "Now the truth is unknown, why do you divorce me?"

"The truth, what more truth do you need?" Han Pu heaved his chest, "You tried to hurt Yun'er several times, and now you poisoned your mother. You think the Chang family can tolerate you."

The sarcasm on Han's face was even worse, "If I really intend to harm Wen Yun, you think he can grow up safely until now. Even Wen Yun doesn't believe it, and only you believe it."

Han Pu was anxious, "Okay, if you dare to contradict your husband, it will be regarded as disrespectful, and we will follow the family law."

It was 12 years ago that the Chang family started the family law in the ancestral hall. It was the second elder of the Chang family, Chang Jie, who was addicted to fireworks and willow lanes, and finally lost his own house. Finally, the ancestral hall was opened, and the Chen family was allowed to bring the dowry to reunite, the second wife separated the clan, and the genealogy was published.

The second old man received twenty slaps in the ancestral hall and was expelled from the Chang family. So far, the second house has gradually declined.Two years ago, Chang Wenying, the only son of Erfang's concubine, caught wind and cold, and after a delay for some time, he died, and Erfang lost his heirs.

Now, there are only two families left in the Chang family, Chang Kuan and Chang Pu brothers in the eldest room and Chang Qing in the third room. Chang Kuan works as a teacher in a private school, and Chang Pu works as a prime minister in the weaving department. Chang Qing just won the Juren last year.After the death of Chang Pu's father, Mr. Chang Da, Mr. Chang San became the patriarch.

Hearing that Second Master Chang asked to take the family law, several servants stood there at a loss, neither going nor not going.

Although everyone sitting here has different expressions, they don't speak a word.

"Daddy!" Chang Luoyun was horrified. In her impression, although her father was strict, he was never like this, which was scary.

Although as long as she could remember, her father and mother rarely joked with him like Aunt Pei, but at least they respected each other as guests.

Mrs. Han raised her head and looked at Chang Pu coldly, and said with a sneer, "Second Master, I am the first wife of three matchmakers and six hires, not the concubine who came in by the wrong door. You want to kill me to cover up for the wicked, really. Really can't do it."

"You, you...," Chang Pu pointed at Han Shi with a trembling hand, tightly clutching his chest with the other hand, and only said one word you for a long time, only missing a mouthful of blood.

"Let me ask you a question." Han's eyes were burning, "Can you trust me about today's matter?"

"The evidence is convincing, how can you tell me to believe you?" Chang Pu's face was serious.

Han's eyes dimmed, and he suddenly smiled.

"Since I entered Chang's house, when did you believe me? When I said that I was going to harm Wen Yun, which eye did you see? But after hearing a few slanderous words, you can't tell the difference between loyalty and villainy. May I ask, have you ever heard me say that?" ?Now, you believe that I poisoned my mother-in-law with a pack of poison in my house," Han said stubbornly, and the last few words were even colder and sarcastic, "I am not the one who ruined the Chang family, but more It's not Yun'er, but you—Chang Shaocheng, the second master of the Chang family."

Chang Pu was so angry that his face was ashen. He turned around and bowed to the third old master, "Third uncle, the Han family is surly and arrogant. My nephew asks uncle to punish him according to the family rules."

"Third Grandfather," Chang Luoyun's knees softened, and he knelt down on the ground, kowtowing like garlic, "My mother has always been weak, Third Grandpa must not use family law!"

Han's eye circles were slightly red, "Yun'er, get up."

"A Niang—" Chang Luoyun hugged Han Shi, tears rolling down his eyes.

"You don't have to beg them for your mother." With red eyes, Han shi knelt down to help Chang Luoyun, and said word by word, "Remember, don't be like your mother in the future, don't know how to guard against others, and end up being killed by others .”

Chang Luoyun nodded with a half understanding.

Han reached out to straighten Chang Luoyun's messy hair, and said with a tearful smile, "You will be a big girl from now on, no mother will protect you, you have to learn to protect yourself."

Chang Luoyun had never seen A Niang like this before, she wanted to grab A Niang's clothes for no reason.

But, just a little bit, just a little bit, Han suddenly stood up, rushed out like an arrow, and flew into the pillar in the middle of the ancestral hall.

The air froze for an instant, Han's body slipped limply and fell to the ground, and bright red blood slowly flowed all over the ground.

"Auntie—"

Chang Luoyun stretched out her hands to grab the air and shouted heartbreakingly, her black pupils shrank violently, like a fish struggling on the shore for a long time, opening its mouth wide and gasping for breath.

After a while, her eyes went dark and she passed out.
