Chapter 179 Skills are not as good as others
  Ergou's originally lowered head suddenly raised due to Shen Zhuoxi's words.
  Shen Zhuoxi didn't look at him and continued: "Twenty or so fish is indeed a crime not worthy of death, but don't you think that if you remain silent and don't speak, I can't do anything to you, that person would be so kind as to let you go?" Bar?"
  Ergou then spoke, with a dry and hoarse voice: "Second Miss, the villain knows that he is wrong. You don't need to ask, just kill him if you want!"
  "Good courage." Shen Zhuoxi sneered: "There is nothing wrong with using this courage. You have to do bad things. Since you want to die, I will help you."
  "Stay here well. It's not a good time to cause trouble during the Hungry Ghost Festival. I will deal with you after the Hungry Ghost Festival."
  After saying that, he ordered Dragonfly: "Keep watch here and don't let him have the chance to commit suicide."
  After leaving the woodshed, Huizhi whispered: "Miss, are you trying to use the two dogs to lure out the person behind the scenes?"
  "Yes." Shen Zhuoxi patted the ashes on his hands and said, "Er Gou is a stubborn person and will not speak no matter what, unless he finds out that the people he is helping are going to kill him."
  "I came to see Ergou but did not deal with him. The person behind the scenes must have thought that Ergou said something. To be sure, that person would never let Ergou live."
  "It just so happens that Ergou has the wish to die. If something happens, everyone will just think that he committed suicide out of fear of crime."
  Huizhi thought of something and said, "But Dragonfly can only do some superficial kung fu. If the person behind her has more martial arts than Dragonfly, wouldn't she be in danger?"
  "There are people coming and going in the kitchen, and there's a lot to cook today." Shen Zhuoxi glanced at the busy boys in the yard and said, "With so many people under their noses, that person would be afraid of rats."
  "The best time to do it is in the evening when there is no one in the kitchen. After dinner, you can replace the dragonfly."
  The master and servant came out of the kitchen as if nothing had happened, and met Shen Jingya on the way.
  Shen Jingya looked at Shen Zhuoxi with undisguised hatred: "How can you still be alive and well?"
  "It's not me who did the wrong thing." Shen Zhuoxi smiled lightly: "Why can't I live a good life?"
  "You weren't the one who did the wrong thing?" Shen Jingya suddenly laughed: "If you hadn't tapped my acupuncture point, how could I have fallen to this point?"
  "When did I touch your acupuncture point? Can you provide evidence?" Shen Zhuoxi said, slowly approaching Shen Jingya, and her voice was much lower: "If you are inferior to others, don't learn those dirty tricks. "
  "If you hadn't used means to harm me in the first place, you wouldn't have endured those things. Be more considerate in the future, be a good person, and don't let others use you as a gun again!"
  Shen Jingya suddenly took a step back and said loudly: "Do you admit it? Admit that you clicked my acupuncture point and caused Wu Yong and me..."
  Shen Zhuoxi looked at her in surprise and said, "You must have been possessed by an evil spirit. I just told you to think less about it in the future. What are you talking nonsense about?"
  "No, what you just meant was clearly to admit it!" Shen Jingya became extremely excited, and her hand pointing at Shen Zhuoxi began to tremble: "Do you dare to say it again?"
  "Why don't I dare?" Shen Zhuoxi knew that there should be someone else standing behind him, so his voice was deliberately raised and he said, "Be careful, don't let others become a gunman without knowing it."
  Shen Jing Yaqi's eyes were red, and she was still talking when the old lady's voice suddenly came from behind Shen Zhuoxi: "What are you arguing about again?"
  Shen Zhuoxi's guess was indeed correct!
  Shen Jingya took the lead and walked up to the old lady and said, "Grandma, Shen Zhuoxi clearly admitted just now that she hurt me by tapping my acupuncture point!"
  "What did I say?" Shen Zhuoxi felt aggrieved and said, "I know you don't want to stay in the ancestral hall, but you can't slander me."
  "You said it!" Shen Jingya stamped her feet anxiously, reaching out to pull the old lady's sleeves.
  But the old lady brushed her hand away and said, "I was in the back just now and vaguely listened to a few words. Zhuo Xi didn't admit it. It seems that you haven't reflected enough in the ancestral hall."
  "After the dinner tonight, continue to move to the back of the ancestral hall. When you are pregnant, the Taishi Mansion will send you to Wu Yong to get married. From now on, you and the Taishi Mansion will never have anything to do with each other!"
  "No, grandma." Shen Jingya still wanted to plead.
  The old lady walked around her coldly and spoke to Shen Zhuoxi in a much softer voice: "Lunch is about to begin. Let's go eat first. You have worked hard all morning and you are tired."
  "Thank you for your concern, grandma." Shen Zhuoxi stepped forward to support the old lady and said, "You came here like this?"
  "I came to see you." The old lady patted Shen Zhuoxi's hand: "It's very hot and muggy today. I'm afraid it might rain at night. I'm afraid it won't be safe to eat in the courtyard of the ancestral hall."
  Shen Zhuoxi helped the old lady move forward, but did not forget to look back and wink at Shen Jingya before saying, "I have also thought about this. I was just about to tell the housekeeper that the dining area should be moved to the front yard."
  Shen Jingya's face turned green with anger when she saw Shen Zhuoxi's provocative look.
  He hammered the pillar next to him with his hand and said secretly: Shen Zhuoxi, let's see how long you can remain proud, I will definitely drag you into hell!
  The same people were there for lunch, but the Jiang family only showed up for dinner.
  After finishing the meal, everyone was in peace, except for Shen Jingya's hateful eyes.
  Nothing happened after lunch until dinner. After arranging things, Shen Zhuoxi returned to Qingfeng Building to rest.
  After lying on the couch for a while, Zhuye hurriedly walked in and said, "Miss, it's bad, something happened!"
  The sunshine, which was still strong at noon, has shrunk into the dark clouds, accompanied by strong winds and heat waves one after another.
  Shen Zhuoxi stood up, glanced out the window, and said, "What's wrong?"
  "I don't know why there was a fire suddenly over there in the ancestral hall." Zhuye said quickly: "Go and take a look. Everyone is gone now, and the Grand Master is losing his temper!"
  Shen Zhuoxi packed up and quickly took Zhuye and Huizhi to the ancestral hall.
  From a distance, I could see the smoke still lingering and the little servants using various utensils to hold water, walking in a hurry.
  As soon as Shen Zhuoxi stepped into the gate of the ancestral hall, he heard everyone talking incessantly:
  “Oh, it’s really unlucky to burn the ancestral rank on the Ghost Festival!”
  "Since early in the morning, nothing good has happened. One moment, the fish turned white and smelled, the next moment, the paper money burned to the ancestors did not burn, and now the ancestral hall is on fire again, alas..."
  "Such a thing has never happened before, and I don't know what Tai Sui has done this year."
  "A fire in the ancestral hall is not a good sign. Could it be that the ancestors are angry?"
  "I think it's possible, otherwise why would there be a fire for no reason? We watched the incense candles burn out before leaving the ancestral hall."
  "No, I remember that the three sticks of incense my father put on burned out, but later my grandmother asked the second sister to replenish the incense and paper money. Could it be that the ones she put on burned down the ancestral hall!"
  The last person to speak was Shen Zehuan. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Shen Zhuoxi at the door and frowned: "Second sister, grandma asked you to take charge of the Ghost Festival. Something went so wrong. Why did you come here?"
