In ancient times, I made a fortune by copying my family

"What happened, why did the ancestral hall get flooded?"

Hearing that the ancestral hall was on fire, Ling Mao hurried over with his sons, and saw Mrs. Tai standing aside with her daughters-in-law, asking questions with a dark face.

However, no one answered his words.

Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, knowing that the fire could not be extinguished, Ling Mao's anger became more and more angry, "Who set fire to the ancestral hall?"

Although Ling Mao has been pushed out of office by the emperor, after all, he has been in a high position for many years, and his aura is still the same as before.

Ling Chu raised her eyes and glanced at her grandfather lightly. She was not frightened by his aura, but she didn't want to open her mouth to bear the anger.

But the second lady was probably frightened by this momentum, and blurted out, "The ancestral hall was burned by the sky fire."

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, the second lady was instantly annoyed, why she accidentally let out the words she was muttering in her heart.

But then she was taken aback, how did her voice recover?
However, before it was too late, Ling Mao yelled at him angrily, "What did you say?"

Facing the man-eating eyes of her father-in-law, the second lady trembled in her heart, and subconsciously stretched out her hand to point at Ling Chu, "It's the eldest girl, and the thunder fire was caused by the eldest lady."

The second master Ling Yao was stunned when he heard his wife's words.Looking at the dark faces of his father and elder brother from the corner of his eye, he couldn't help shouting angrily, "Mr. Yang, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Ling Yao knew that his wife, like everyone else in the house, disliked this niece, but he didn't expect his wife to say such ridiculous things.

The niece is just a bad luck, not a god with great supernatural powers, so how could she attract thunder and fire and burn the ancestral hall down.

Seeing that her husband and children had come, Xu Shi felt confident in her heart, and being stimulated by the sarcastic smile on Ling Chu's face, the second lady's courage 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 the ancestors. But the eldest girl lit three sticks of incense, and the three sticks were all extinguished suddenly without a reason after being lit. Those incense sticks were cut off from the middle.

Mrs. Tai asked the eldest girl to kneel and kowtow to her ancestors again. Unexpectedly, just as the eldest girl knelt down on the futon, not only did all the spirit cards on the altar table fall, but there was a sudden thunder from the sky.

The second time Mrs. Tai asked the eldest girl to kneel down, the ancestral hall was struck by thunder.If the eldest girl hadn't done something outrageous, the ancestors of the Ling family would not have refused her incense, and the ancestral hall would not have been burned by thunder. "

Ling Chu has been listening silently, without opening his mouth to stop the second lady's words.

Because this matter cannot be hidden at all, and there is no need to hide it.

Ling Chu waited for the second lady to clarify what had happened, and then quietly choked her with a silence technique.

The second lady didn't know that she couldn't speak anymore, she finished talking about what happened in a crackling voice, only gloating in her heart at this moment.

This damn girl will have to shed a layer of skin even if she doesn't die this time.

If she hadn't helped Jin Yiwei copy out those greedy Tibetan silver back then, the father-in-law would not have been dismissed by the emperor.Now that the ancestral hall is burned again, I don't believe that the disaster star will be safe and sound.

After hearing what the second lady said, Ling Mao frowned and asked the lady beside her, "Is what Yang said true?"

Mrs. Tai did not speak, but nodded silently.

Originally, she saw Ling Chu contradicting herself many times, and without her consent, she proposed to divorce in front of Mother Wang.Mrs. Tai felt that she was really disrespectful, so she called her to the ancestral hall.

The purpose is to teach her a lesson in front of the spirit cards of the ancestors, and then let her kneel in the ancestral hall to reflect on it as a punishment.

Who knew that such an indiscriminate disaster would happen.

Although Mrs. Tai did not say that Ling Chu caused the thunder and fire, she couldn't help being suspicious at this moment. If she hadn't called Ling Chu to the ancestral hall, wouldn't there have been a fire?
Ling Mao looked at Ling Chu with complicated eyes, "Miss Chu, what do you have to say?"

Ling Mao really couldn't like this granddaughter.

He thought that the silver was hidden enough in the past that even Jin Yiwei couldn't find it.

Unexpectedly, he was slapped severely by this granddaughter who had just returned to Beijing.

Because of that sum of money, he was demoted to a commoner by the emperor, and was treated as an outcast by the other side.

His entire career was ruined just like that.

It is naturally impossible to say that there is no resentment in my heart.

Ling Chu grew up not in the mansion. Although Ling Zong didn't have much affection for her, he saw that the second wife blamed her for the fire in the ancestral hall, and his wife was silent about it.

Ling Zong frowned involuntarily, "Father, what you asked sister Chu to say, what my younger sister said was nothing but nonsense. Even if sister Chu had a bad fate, she didn't do anything wrong. .

It was just a coincidence that the ancestral hall was burned by thunder and fire, how could it be blamed on Chujie'er. "

Ling Chu was surprised, she really didn't expect this cheap father to speak up to defend her.

Ling Mao was unmoved, and reprimanded in a cold voice, "You still have rules in your eyes, my father didn't ask you anything, so stand aside."

Ling Zong frowned, he couldn't contradict his father in public anymore, so he secretly winked at Dong, signaling her to speak for Ling Chu.

However, Mrs. Dong turned a blind eye to his hint, pinching the veil with both hands and drooping her eyes in silence.

Ling Chu saw these in his eyes, without any disturbance in his heart, he looked up at Ling Mao, "Father is right, what Second Aunt said is just nonsense.

If the ancestral hall was struck by lightning, the ancestors of the Ling family were dissatisfied and caused punishment from the heavens, and the second aunt became dumb. Could it be the ancestors of the Ling family punished her for her unethical words and deeds? "

The gloating expression on the second lady's face froze, and she subconsciously wanted to refute.

But to her horror, she couldn't speak again.

Seeing that the second lady opened and closed her mouth for a while, but there was no sound at all, everyone couldn't help being surprised.

Ling Luo and Ling brother and sister walked quickly to the second lady, tugged at her sleeves and shouted, "Mother, mother, what's the matter with you?"

Seeing their anxious faces, the second lady wanted to comfort them subconsciously, but she couldn't make a sound at all.

All of a sudden, the expressions of all the people present changed.

Ling Mao was so angry that his eyes went dark, and he couldn't care less about asking Ling Chu, "Everyone will keep their mouths shut about today's matter. If anyone dares to leak a word, get out of Ling's house."

As soon as the Ling Mansion fell, the ancestral hall was destroyed by thunder and fire, and the daughter-in-law became dumb.If there is any news about this matter, the Ling family will really have no place to stand in the capital.

Ling Mao flung his sleeves and left, Mrs. Tai could only sullenly, and ordered her three sons to clean up the ruins of the ancestral hall by themselves, and then invited craftsmen to rebuild the ancestral hall.

The second lady covered her neck with her hands, and stared at Ling Chu with resentment. She didn't expect to let this disaster escape her, and she became dumb.
