In the small ancestral hall in the northwest corner of the garden, Mr. Xie’s memorial tablet has been invited to enter. Fresh fruits, flowers and some snacks are enshrined on the confession table. Green smoke is curling from the incense burner in the middle, and offering candles are quietly burning on both sides, solemn and solemn.

When the auspicious time was calculated by Qin Tianjian, the solemnly dressed Lord Xie Hou personally helped Mrs. Xie into the small ancestral hall, and the others followed behind.

After entering the ancestral hall, suddenly a servant woman staggered and fell towards Mrs. Su, and wiped something on Mrs. Su's clothes in her hand.

Being pushed by her, Su couldn't help but backed away, but Bai Xiang hurriedly supported her.

Lord Xie and Mrs. Xie turned around when they heard the movement.

Lord Xie was displeased: "What's going on?"

Su Shi hurriedly said: "It's nothing, this servant suddenly fell over and bumped into me for some reason, I couldn't stand still, it's all right."

Xie Houye gave the servant woman a hard look and said, "Irregular things, this is where you play wild? Get out!"

"Yes, yes" the servant woman hurriedly retreated in fear.

Before leaving, she exchanged glances with Madam Qi and nodded slightly.

Nanny Qi who was supporting Qi gently tugged on Qi's sleeve, Qi looked up at her and smiled.

That bitch of the Su family, after today, the old lady is still protecting her!

The sacrificial dishes were passed in from the outside one by one, Qi's passed on to Su's, Su's passed on to Xie Hou Ye, and Xie Hou Ye and Mrs. Xie made offerings in front of the spirit tablet of Mrs. Xie.

After passing on the sacrificial dishes, the children and grandchildren kowtow, and then burn paper and burn incense to sacrifice wine, comfort the spirit of the old man in heaven, and pray for the old man to bless the children and grandchildren, and the ceremony is completed.

When passing the dishes, Su Shi suddenly said in surprise: "Sister, what's wrong with your clothes? Why does it look dirty!"

What the maid prepared was a pig gallbladder filled with fresh chicken blood, and if the blood was smeared on Su Shi's clothes, Su Shi could be punished for a crime of disrespect.For such an important event as sacrifice, it is very unlucky to have blood on the clothes, and it also means that the Su family does not care about this matter at all, and is disrespectful to Mrs. Xie, otherwise, how could they not even know that the clothes are stained with blood?

Master Hou will definitely be furious, and the old lady will also be angry and dissatisfied in her heart, and then take advantage of the dissatisfaction between the two of them to do something, so that Su Shi will never get up again.
Mrs. Qi believed in Nanny Qi very much, and also believed that Mrs. Su's clothes must be stained with blood, so even though Xie Yunshu and Baixiang had always followed Mrs. Su to block her view and she never saw it with her own eyes, she had no doubts at all.

She told the maid to strike at the waist, Su Shi probably didn't realize it.

Qi's words caused Master Xie and others to look at Su, Su was taken aback, Xie Yunshu looked at her, and hurriedly said: "Mother's clothes are a little wet, it should be because of the clumsy servant just now. Accidentally spilled soup."

Su tilted her head to check carefully, and smiled: "Really, it doesn't matter, it's important to pay respects to father!"

Mrs. Xie and Lord Xie also saw that there was a palm-sized wet patch on Su's left waist. Fortunately, today she was wearing a restrained-looking dress material, so it was not obvious, otherwise it would be too unsightly.

The old lady Xie frowned dissatisfied: "Why don't you choose a more stable servant girl to do such an important matter today? What kind of talk is this careless!"

The old lady thought in her heart, it seems that this housekeeper of the Qi family is really not good at all, he has done all he can.
After hearing my old lady's words, Lord Xie Hou couldn't help but cast a reproachful glance at Qi, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.

Aren't all the arrangements today made by the Qi family?
Qi's heart was full of aggrieved, at this moment he finally saw clearly, where is there blood stain on Su's clothes?It was clearly wet like splashed water!

She glanced at Nanny Qi in surprise and anger, and Nanny Qi was already dumbfounded!She doesn't know either
So how did the Tang family work?Didn't we say it was done?

Nanny Qi couldn't let the Qi family take the blame, so she quickly laughed with her: "It's all the old slave's fault. The original arrangement was for Song Su, who was steady and neat, but she was not feeling well yesterday, so it was replaced by Tang Er's family." Yes, it's good for the old slave to look at the past of the Tang Er family, but today there is an accident, please forgive me, old lady and Lord Hou."

The old lady Xie waved her hand: "That's all, it's important!"

"Mother said yes!"

Everyone still paid homage to the old lady Xie according to the procedure.

After offering incense and burning paper and kowtow, Mrs. Xie told the servants who were serving here to take good care of the candlelight tribute, and led everyone out with Master Xie, wiping away tears.

Everyone accompanied Mrs. Xie back to Songhe Hall.

The old lady thought of the old man again, and Lord Xie also thought of his father who hadn't had time to fulfill his filial piety. Both mother and son were in a low mood, so the others naturally wanted to accompany them.

The Su family was also very sad. When the father-in-law was alive, he treated her mother and daughter very well.

Xie Yunshu is not the original owner, so she doesn't have so many emotions, but she also knows that her grandfather actually loves her.

Mrs. Xie couldn't help but think about how hard Su's work was before and after the old man's death. Today, when she worshiped the old man, there were servants who dared to attack Su's. Old lady Xie couldn't help but feel angry.

It's a coincidence, but it's too coincidental.

Why is it the Su family?
The old lady Xie sighed: "Ah Zhong, this is fate, don't be sad. In fact, your father's and my life are worth it. Even if you are not around, we will be there with Yunniang It’s not hard. It’s much better than those homes that are noisy every day!”

Xie Hou Ye gave Su Shi a gentle look, felt relieved, and nodded with a forced smile: "Mother is right, mother should not be sad, in the future, my son will honor you with my father's share."

The old lady Xie couldn't help laughing: "You are really childish!"

Xie Hou Ye also laughed: "Son, this is really sincere!"

The old lady Xie said: "From now on, we should live a good life, Mrs. Qi, first, that mother Zhang was stirring up the wind and rain with me, and there was Zi He who escaped without a trace beside Shu'er for no reason. The maids around Shi and Shu'er don't know the protector outside, and someone can make a big deal like paying homage to your father-in-law today, I think you're too out of control in this mansion!"

Qi raised her head abruptly, suddenly felt something was wrong——

Afterwards, she heard the old lady continue: "I think you can't do it alone, besides, Yunniang is also the eldest lady, and she shouldn't be left alone for the housekeeping business. You two are discussing housekeeping together in the future." !"

Madam Xie originally didn't plan to mention this matter today, but the accident that happened during worship today stepped on her bottom line.

Nanny Ling is familiar with the anecdotes of all the great families in the capital, but she has told her a lot, and she listens with great interest, learns a lot, and understands a lot.

The things Madam Ling said are very reasonable, but they are, the servants around the master are often the ones who are responsible, such as Madam Qi today.
