Revenge of Rebirth: Intrigue

Chapter 246 Night Watch
Now that the words have come to this point, how can she shirk it?Even Hua Yue couldn't speak for himself in this kind of matter.

Mu Huaxian smiled lightly, and replied: "My cousin's suggestion is very good. It is right to be filial for the ancestors. I will keep watch here tonight."

Hua Yun gave Hua Baiyi a reproachful look, then turned to Mu Huaxian and said, "Hua Xian, you don't have to force it, your cousin is just joking."

At this time, Hua Yuerong said: "Father, how can this be a joke? When you say this, don't you mean that the elder sister is making fun of the ancestors?"

The second wife also said: "I think that the eldest lady's proposal is not wrong."

Hua Chenshi gritted his teeth and said, "Don't talk about keeping watch for one night, even if she keeps watch for ten nights, she won't be wronged!"

Hua Chenshi hated herself to the core.

Mu Huaxian was amused, and said to Hua Yun, "Thank you, Uncle, but Hua Xian also thinks that the big cousin's proposal is good. It's just a one-night watch in the ancestral hall, there is nothing to force it."

Hua Yue and Hua Yun looked at each other, nodded and said: "That's how it is." After a pause, he handed his cloak to Mu Huaxian: "It's cold at night, be careful not to catch cold."

Mu Huaxian took the cloak and bowed his head in thanks.

Everyone left, only Mu Huaxian and Zhiqiao remained in the ancestral hall.

This time it was just to worship the ancestors, for convenience, Mu Huaxian only brought Zhiqiao by his side.

The servants in charge of guarding the ancestral hall extinguished some of the oil lamps in the ancestral hall, and then went back to the small room at the door.

It was quite dark in the ancestral hall, Zhiqiao closed the gate of the ancestral hall, and the two sat on the futon, and they could see row after row of ancestor spirit tablets.

The fire was flickering, and the shadow cast by the spirit card was constantly beating, making it look a little gloomy in the quiet night.

Mu Huaxian sat with Zhiqiao for a while, and gradually became sleepy.

Zhiqiao yawned and put the three futons together, and said to Mu Huaxian: "Miss, you should sleep like this first, and the servant will watch over you."

Seeing that she was about to fall asleep, Mu Huaxian shook her head and said with a smile, "You should go to sleep first, and we will take turns in a while."

Zhiqiao was a little confused, she nodded and leaned against the edge of the table in front of her seat, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Mu Huaxian took the cloak Huayue gave her and covered her with it. In order to get rid of sleepiness, she stood up and walked back and forth in the ancestral hall.

In the middle of the night, the temperature was much lower. Even though he was wearing a cape, Mu Huaxian was still so cold that his skin was covered with goose bumps because of the thin clothes.

"Miss, why didn't you wake up the servant..." Zhiqiao woke up, rubbed her eyes and stood up.

Mu Huaxian yawned and said, "I didn't call you because you were in a deep sleep."

Zhiqiao half pushed Mu Hua over, and said: "Miss, this servant is a servant, you don't have to be so nice to this servant... go to sleep."

While talking, she covered Mu Huaxian with the cloak, and stood up when she saw that she had closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Now is the time to be ugly.

Zhiqiao took a futon and sat quietly against the wall.

Time passed slowly, and only the sound of Mu Huaxian's even breathing was left in the room.

The light flickered, Zhiqiao got up lightly, and went to pick out the wick.

At this moment, there was a soft "kacha" sound from the yard.

Zhiqiao paused in the movement of her hands, then walked towards the window gently, and listened for a while.

She frowned, looked back at Mu Huaxian, saw that she was still asleep, and went back to the original place to sit lightly.
