The daily life of the devil's wife

Chapter 96
Late at night, Mu Mansion.

Mu Zhengtian stepped into the ancestral hall slowly, took three sticks of incense from the altar and lit them, and put them in the incense burner on the desk.

Xu Xuqing smoke rose slightly, and Mu Zhengtian bowed to the tablets of the ancestors.

Just as he got up and was about to leave, the incense in the censer suddenly broke from the middle and fell beside the censer.

Frowning slightly, he took out three incense sticks and lit them again.

Just as he was about to insert the phase into the incense burner, the three burning incense sticks were cut off from the middle again.

Then, the broken incense fell, and the flaming incense head just landed on the back of his hand, causing him to withdraw his hand hastily in pain.

"Your son has thrown away all the prestige of the family, how can you still have a face to honor?"

In the empty ancestral hall, a strange male voice suddenly came.

Mu Zhengtian was slightly startled, turned his head to look around, but didn't find half a figure: "Who... who is it?"

"I am your ancestor."

The man's voice came lightly, which made Mu Zhengtian startled: "Nonsense, your voice sounds only in your early twenties, how could it be the ancestor of my Mu family."

"After a person dies, the soul can change its state, and so can the voice." As he spoke, the man deliberately raised his volume: "Why, are you doubting my identity?"

"No... not..."

Squeezing a sentence out of his mouth intermittently, Mu Zhengtian kept looking around.

Although the Mu family is not a family of officials and eunuchs, they are still well-known nobles in the imperial capital.

There are countless family members in the Mu Mansion, and the ancestral hall is even more heavily guarded.

If it is not a ghost who is talking at this moment, who has the ability to escape the heavy hands of the Mu family and sneak in?

Thinking about it, Mu Zhengtian looked at the Lingtai in disbelief, his eyes swept over the tokens one by one, as if he wanted to know which ancestor was manifesting at this moment.

However, before he could figure it out, the man's voice came again: "Unworthy descendants, why don't you kneel down when you see your ancestors?"

When the words fell, Mu Zhengtian's legs trembled in fright, and with a "bang", he knelt down in front of the incense table.

"Unworthy descendants visit their ancestors."

"Well, Ben..." As he spoke, the man seemed to realize that he had said something wrong, and suddenly changed his words: "This time I appeared to ask you to return the marriage letter that was handed to the Ruan Mansion, lest my Mu Mansion's reputation be destroyed. Ruined by that unfilial son of yours, Mu Ziqin."

"Retired? But..."

"What, do you have an objection?"

"No...no..." Mu Zhengtian was so frightened that his voice trembled, and he kowtowed heavily at the Lingtai: "Everything is subject to the arrangement of the ancestors."

……

quiet……

deathly silence...

Before waiting for the man's voice, Mu Zhengtian tentatively raised his head and called softly, "Ancestor, are you still there?"

"ancestor……"

There is still silence in the ancestral hall...

Mu Zhengtian didn't wait for an answer, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, sat limply on the cotton pad, and breathed a sigh of relief.

In the early morning of the second day, Mu Zhengtian immediately ordered someone to go to the Ruan Mansion, and took back the marriage letter that Mu Ziqin handed out on his back, and also reorganized the ancestral hall by the way.

However, Ruan Zetai's physical condition did not improve because of this. Instead, he did not go to court again on the grounds that he was ill.

He had this disease very well, without him in the court, the emperor took this rare opportunity to clean up all the minions of the Hao family.

Even the queen in the harem was thrown into limbo by him for various reasons.

In just half a month, the Hao family gradually declined from the number one family in the imperial capital.

Officials with a little bit of official rank avoided them, for fear that if they were not careful, they would also be involved.
