Chapter 214 Lu’s Ancestral Tomb
The ancestral hall of the Lu family is in Ruyang County, ten miles north of the city.

This is the ancestral home of the Lu family, and the Wulong Mountain on the back is the Lu family’s ancestral tomb.

The patriarch is the second uncle of Lu Shanyuan's grandfather. This lineage has never left the ancestral home, so it is logical to protect the Lu family's ancestral hall and ancestral graves.

When the old patriarch was young, he was also a second-rank official. Although his descendants were not very good, he had a rich family and relied on the old Marquis of Wu'an's status in the capital to live a prosperous life.

However, since the Marquis of Wu'an was handed over to Lu Shanyuan, Lu Shanyuan didn't like to deal with these Lu clan members. Then something happened to the Marquis of Wu'an's house, and their lineage quickly separated from Lu Shanyuan's lineage. Their behavior in this lineage is relatively low-key.

Cang Lang brought about twenty people, all of whom were dressed in black robes and short black leather armor. Their expressions were stern and cold, as if they had returned from the battlefield stained with blood and full of murderous intent.

When the clan leader heard that the ancestral tomb was suddenly surrounded by a group of people, saying that Qin Wan was coming, he was so frightened that he was helped over by others.

Seeing this group of people arriving in the middle of the night, I was slightly shocked.

Three words were written on each of their faces: Trouble-seeking!
He couldn't help but look at the girl in a white skirt and black cloak who was being helped out of the car by the maid.

Under the yellow oil-paper umbrella, the light of the torch was blocked, and his face was completely enveloped in darkness, which made him feel uneasy.

Pretending to be calm, he put on the majesty of a clan leader: "Lu Wan, what are you doing? You brought a group of people to disturb the Lu family's ancestors late at night, and you didn't take your great-uncle seriously at all. You are going too far!"

Qin Wan stepped forward slowly, bent slightly, and said calmly: "Clan Chief Lu, my name is Qin Wan. You don't dare to take this as your great-uncle Qin Wan."

The patriarch's expression was ugly: "Lu Wan, that's just what you said. The government household registration has not been changed, and your name is still on the Lu family's ancestral hall. I don't blame you for being young, ignorant, and acting on your own initiative. Now Stop messing around. Otherwise, if you spread the word, it will damage your own reputation."

The person supporting the patriarch was his eldest son, who was about the same age as Lu Shanyuan. He also tried to persuade him: "My child, we all know that you are angry with the Marquis of Wu'an, and we also know your grievances. We have also told you about your father. We are all part of the same family as your grandmother, so it’s okay to be angry.”

"Yes, yes, you are also a person with a mission now, how can you be such a childish person."

A group of people who came with her started to support her, some said she was unfilial, some said she was reckless...

It's raining.

The swaying torches turned into swaying black shadows through the rain and fell on the faces of the group, like a group of demons dancing wildly.

Qin Wan said coldly: "I removed myself in public. Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu have no objections. What's more, none of the Lu clan members have said anything to me for so long. As for the government household registration, I have already completed it. Everyone I’ll check it out tomorrow.”

There's no way they're going to look it up because they just don't care.

They only care about whether it will affect the Lu family's interests and reputation.

"I came here today to follow the Queen's order and move the bones of my late mother who had been divorced from the Lu family's ancestral tomb. After all, we have nothing to do with her anymore, and it is not suitable to stay in the Lu family's ancestral tomb anymore."

The eldest son of the clan leader became anxious: "Lu Wan, what nonsense did you say? You were angry that day and everyone was thinking about you and didn't say anything. Why did you take it seriously?"

The Lu clan members who followed also started to accuse him.

"Yes, Lu Wan, moving a grave is a big deal. You can't just bring people in regardless of the heavy rain, right? What's the difference between this and ruthless murder?"

"You are a little girl. You are shameless. You simply don't care about the face of your ancestors. How unfilial!"

"This is the Lu family's ancestral tomb. How can you move it if you want? Even if the spirits of the Lu family's ancestors are in the sky, even the heavens can't bypass you!"

Zhiruo was so angry that he was shaking all over, and suddenly screamed sharply: "You fart!"

The girl's sharp voice, with a bit of trembling, instantly pierced the night sky, followed by a thunder, and a large group of people who were chattering suddenly fell silent, their mouths opened in fear and they did not dare to speak.

Cang Lang and the others were already furious after hearing this. He glanced at Zhiruo, who was usually delicate and frail, and snorted coldly. Stepping forward with both hands on the sword: "Don't you want to disobey the Queen's decree? Or maybe you plan to take the initiative to move all the tombs of the Lu family's ancestors and dedicate them to our Mrs. Qin?"

"You! You're talking nonsense!" The patriarch was so angry that he almost fainted.

Let the ancestors of the Lu family give up their cemetery to a woman? Do they, the Lu family, still want to live in this world?
Cang Lang sneered: "When my young lady was bullied by a group of beasts in Wu'an Hou Mansion, you all acted like turtles. Now you will jump out and act like monkeys playing tricks. You shameless people who climb high and suppress lows, get out of here, otherwise "My sword has no eyes!"

The Lu clan members were so angry that they all glared at each other.

Zhiruo was so angry that she burst into tears. She was shocked to see Canglang, who was usually reticent, scolding him in a series of words, which really relieved her.

Qin Wan was too lazy to continue arguing with them, and was anxious to see if anything happened to her late mother's grave.

Pushing the umbrella in front of her, the firelight illuminated her gloomy face, and her eyes were filled with frightening anger.

"Clan Chief Lu, today I am here to take away my mother's coffin. If you dare to stop me, don't blame me for being rude!"

Patriarch Lu was frightened by the expression on her face and could tell that she was very serious.

The son's hand supporting him also quietly pressed his arm.

In fact, they had long understood that the little girl in front of them was no longer as delicate and easy to bully as before.

What's more, her status is not low now. If the title of Jinwen Marquis Mansion falls on her adopted son, she will be a marquise.

My son said, don't offend the upstarts because of the Lu Shanyuan family who can't get up.

Patriarch Lu's tone softened: "Lu, Qin Wan, although your surname has been changed, you are still of the Lu family's blood, so why do you have to make such a fuss? Even if you move the coffin, it is a big deal. You have to choose an auspicious day and ask a senior monk to do it properly. Wouldn't it be better to move it properly? You don't want to disturb your mother's spirit in heaven so recklessly, do you?"

"I wanted to move the coffin properly, but some people didn't want me to be in peace."

Qin Wan took a step forward: "I originally thought like Patriarch Lu, I would choose an auspicious day and respectfully ask my mother to leave the Lu family that made her sad and move to a new place. But Lu Shanyuan and his son challenged the limit of my patience again and again. I don’t want to embarrass other people who have nothing to do with them. Besides, Patriarch Lu and Lu Shanyuan have also made arrangements and don’t interact with each other on weekdays. I can’t blame you.”

"However, I heard that someone came and disturbed my mother's grave. If your Lu family's ancestral hall cannot protect your ancestral grave and others disturb my mother, then I will never let you live in peace!"

Chief Lu’s face was full of horror.

"How is that possible? Although we have done business with Lu Shanyuan's lineage, people in our lineage have been conscientiously protecting our ancestral halls and ancestral tombs for several lifetimes!"

Patriarch Lu suddenly thought of something and turned his head: "Go and call Lao Qi's family quickly."

"I'm here, I'm here."

A man ran up. He was the poorest member of the Lu family and was known as Lu Laoqi. Because they were poor and incompetent, the family asked them to guard the grave.

"Has anyone been to the ancestral grave today? Or maybe Mrs. Lu and Marquis Lu have come to pay their respects?"

Patriarch Lu felt that what Qin Wan said was sensible, and he was thinking that it would make sense if he came to worship.

Lu Laoqi shook his head like a rattle: "No, absolutely not. This year's Qingming Festival has not come yet. We are all preparing to hold Qingming Festival ceremonies, and no one has come to each room."

Qin Wan's face was terrifyingly cold.
