Chapter 180 Fire in the Ancestral Hall
  Shen Zehuan's words also brought the discussion of the second and third bedrooms to an abrupt halt.
  The old lady leaned on a crutch and looked at the ancestral hall that was still on fire with distress. When her eyes turned to Shen Zhuoxi, she also felt unhappy: "Why are you here?"
  "Grandma, Qingfeng Tower is far away from here. I came here just after I got the news." Shen Zhuoxi's breath was uneven, and he was panting slightly after running: "How could there be a fire?"
  "It's not clear yet." The old lady thought that Qingfeng Tower was indeed far away and it was hard to say anything. She said in a deep tone: "We can only check the approximate origin of the fire after the fire is extinguished."
  The fire wasn't very hot, everyone arrived in time, but the weather was dry and the fire was not easy to extinguish.
  While several people were talking, the housekeeper came over panting and said: "Old lady, the fire is out."
  The fire was out, but the burning smoke still lingered in the entire ancestral hall, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
  The old lady said solemnly: "Let's go see where the fire started first."
  The housekeeper responded and said: "Sending the boy to check it out, we will know soon. It is very smokey here. Why don't we go behind the ancestral hall to avoid it first?"
  There were eighty-eight offerings in the ancestral hall. After being burned by the fire, the smoke from the wood mixed with the smell of various vegetables was really unpleasant.
  "That's fine." The old lady warned: "Be sure to sort out the old lady's ranking!"
  The group of people moved to the room behind the ancestral hall. Shen Heshantie said with a livid face, "There are people guarding the ancestral hall. How come they didn't even know there was a fire?"
  The housekeeper responded anxiously: "There was someone guarding the place, but when the fire broke out, he happened to go to eat. When he came back, he saw thick smoke coming out of the ancestral hall. He quickly called for people to put out the fire, but he was still a step too late."
  "You mean, the thick smoke came from the burning inside the ancestral hall?" Yu Qinglian took over and asked.
  The housekeeper nodded and said, "Yes, the villain also saw it when he came over."
  "That's strange. In order to avoid fire, there are no flammable things placed in the ancestral hall." Yu Qinglian asked suspiciously: "Could someone set the fire on fire?"
  "Don't talk about whether these are available or not." Shen Heshan interrupted her impatiently and said, "We'll wait and see where it started burning."
  As soon as he finished speaking, a servant came in and said in a low voice: "Grand Master, Old Master, we found out that the fire started near Princess Xiaoqing's row."
  "Huh?" Shen Zishan suddenly said: "I remember before leaving, the second lady put incense on Princess Xiaoqing alone. Could it be caused by the incense candle?"
  Shen Heshan suddenly looked at Shen Zhuoxi: "Kneel down!"
  Shen Zhuoxi stood upright, motionless: "You don't want me to kneel down when you haven't found out anything?"
  "Who else caused it if you weren't the one?" Shen Heshan's eyes widened: "The fire in the Hungry Ghost Festival ancestral hall has made everyone underground uneasy. Are you right? Why don't you kneel down and admit your mistake to your ancestors?"
  "The incense I put on is the same as yours, how could it catch fire?" Shen Zhuoxi narrowed his eyes slightly and continued: "And counting the time, the incense candle will burn out before it's time for the boy to go to dinner."
  "How could it possibly cause an open flame at that time? There are so many strange things going on!"
  "The servants have found out that the fire started near Princess Xiaoqing's row." Yu Qinglian took over the words and pretended to be a peacemaker: "There is nothing near Princess Xiaoqing's row except the incense you offered."
  "You'd better admit your mistake and don't make your father angry."
  "The eldest lady said it so confidently, as if she saw it with her own eyes." Shen Zhuoxi snorted coldly: "What if I can prove that it was not because the incense candle caught fire?"
  "If you can really prove it, I will apologize to you!" Shen Heshan snorted coldly: "If you can't prove it, you will kneel at the door of the ancestral hall for three days to atone!"
  "Okay." Shen Zhuoxi agreed and said, "After I find out, I will move my mother's position out of the Taishi Mansion. It is impossible for her to become a tool for others to use even after her death!"
  The words contained something that instantly ignited Shen Heshan's sensitive nerves: "What do you mean!"
  "Literally." Shen Zhuoxi looked around at the people in the room and said, "Anyone who burns my mother's rank and stirs up trouble, I will also make him pay the price!"
  "Okay, I'll give you a chance. I want to see how you investigate!" Shen Heshanqi's heart was up and down, and he drank two sips of tea to calm down his anger.
  Shen Zhuoxi ignored him and took Hui Zhi and the others directly to the location of the fire.
  As soon as she left, the room started talking.
  The first one to speak was Shen Zishan: "Brother, forgive me for speaking frankly, but the second young lady has such a bad temper that she doesn't take you seriously at all."
  "Isn't it?" Shen Zaishan took the words and said: "Although she is the daughter of Princess Xiaoqing, her surname is Shen. She must be taught a lesson. Otherwise, you will lose all your prestige. How can you establish your prestige in front of other children."
  "The rules can be established later." Mrs. Kong paused and said, "The matter at hand is more important. Since early in the morning, there have been so many mistakes. I don't believe it if they say it has nothing to do with the second lady."
  "That's what the third brother and sister said." Mrs. Zhang also said: "We have been here a few times, and we are always happy every time. But this time there are many things going on, and the second young lady is in charge, and it all has something to do with her."
  "Brother, if you are a younger brother and sister, you should not say anything. Why don't you invite a master to come and take a look, so as not to bring any trouble to the Grand Master's Mansion."
  "Yes, although Si Tianjian said that he was instigated by others." Kong continued to add fuel and salary: "But there is no guarantee that the second lady will not get into any evil spirits after being in Xiaoxiang Tower for many years."
  "The ancestors will not lie to us. In my humble opinion, everything is a warning from the ancestors."
  The more people talked, the worse Shen Heshan's face became, and the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong.
  When Xiaoqing was there, his literary talent was good and he also had some medical skills, but compared to Shen Zhuoxi now, he was still a little behind.
  Shen Zhuoxi had been stupid for ten years, suddenly woke up, and was so powerful...
  All the doubts from the past emerged. He thought about it again and again, and ordered the housekeeper: "Secretly invite the Taoist priest from Mount Wutai to come over, don't let anyone find out the clues!"
  This time, the old lady did not stop him.
  Shen Zhuoxi knew that after she left, those people would continue to apply eye drops to Mrs. Shen Heshan, so she ignored her.
  However, in the ancestral hall, the thick smoke had not completely dispersed, and several large tables where the sacrifices were placed had been removed, leaving it feeling empty and awkward.
  The area around Princess Xiaoqing's row was completely dark, and the original nanmu row was burned into a rectangular piece of black charcoal.
  Even the incense burner in front of the ranking was burned and deformed, not to mention the porcelain plate on which the offerings were placed, which had long been burned and cracked in half.
  Shen Zhuoxi reached for the ranking table, which was still filled with residual warmth.
  "Miss, be careful of getting burned." Hui Zhi said worriedly: "With such a big deal, I'm afraid there will be some tricks to deal with you."
  Shen Zhuoxi held the ranking, and a sadness that did not belong to her arose in her heart. Perhaps it was the remaining consciousness of her original body. She said silently: Don't worry, I will make them pay the maximum price for this account!
  She straightened the rows that had been burnt to black charcoal and said: "The fire is not very big. The things in front of the rows can burn like this. There must be something to support the combustion. And the person can't leave from the main entrance after setting the fire. Look for it."
