Chapter 144 The Second Madam Is Speechless

"What happened? Why did the ancestral hall leak?"

Hearing that there was a fire in the ancestral hall, Ling Mao hurried over with his sons and saw the wife and several daughters-in-law standing aside, questioning with a dark face.

However, no one answered his words.

Seeing the fire getting bigger and bigger, knowing that the fire could no longer be extinguished, Ling Mao's heart became more and more angry, "Who set the ancestral hall on fire?"

Although Ling Mao has been dismissed from his official position by the emperor, he has been in a high position for many years, and his aura is still as strong as before.

Ling Chu raised her eyes and glanced at her grandfather lightly. She was not frightened by his aura, but she didn't want to open her mouth and bear the anger.

But the second lady Xu was frightened by this momentum and blurted out, "The ancestral hall was burned down by fire from heaven."

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, the Second Madam was instantly annoyed that she had accidentally spoken out what she was muttering in her heart.

But then she was stunned. How did her voice recover?

However, before it was too late, Ling Mao shouted angrily at him, "What did you say?"

Facing her father-in-law's cannibalistic gaze, the second lady trembled in her heart. She subconsciously reached out and pointed at Ling Chu, "It's the eldest girl. It was the eldest girl who caused the thunder and fire."

The second master, Ling Yao, was shocked when he heard his wife's words. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the dark faces of his father and elder brother, and couldn't help shouting angrily, "Ms. Yang, what are you talking about!"

Ling Yao knew that his wife, like everyone else in the family, was not happy with his niece, but he did not expect that his wife could say such ridiculous things.

The niece just has a bad destiny and is not a god with great supernatural powers. How could she cause thunder and fire to burn down the ancestral hall.

Perhaps seeing her husband and children coming, the second lady felt confident, and stimulated by the sarcastic smile on Ling Chu's face, the second lady's courage returned.

"I'm not talking nonsense. It was the Madam who called the eldest girl to the ancestral hall and asked her to burn incense to worship her ancestors. But the eldest girl lit three sticks of incense, and as soon as they were lit, they suddenly went out without saying anything, and The incense was cut off in the middle.

The madam asked the eldest girl to kneel down and kowtow to her ancestors. Unexpectedly, as soon as the eldest girl knelt down on the futon, not only did all the spiritual tablets on the altar table fall over, but there was also a sudden thunder in the sky.

The second time the wife asked the eldest daughter to kneel down, the ancestral hall was struck by thunder. If the eldest girl had not done something outrageous, the ancestors of the Ling family would not have refused her incense, and the ancestral hall would not have been burned down by thunder and fire. "

Ling Chu listened silently and did not speak to stop the second lady.

Because this matter cannot be hidden at all, and there is no need to hide it.

Ling Chu waited for the second lady to explain everything clearly, and then quietly used a gag spell on her.

The second lady didn't know that she couldn't speak anymore, so she finished telling what happened, and all she could feel was gloating.

This damn girl will have to shed a layer of skin even if she doesn't die this time.

If she hadn't helped Jin Yiwei to copy out the corrupt money, my father-in-law would not have been fired from his official position by the emperor. Now that the ancestral hall has been burned down again, I don't believe that this disaster star can still be safe.

After hearing what the second lady said, Ling Mao frowned and asked the lady beside him, "Is what Yang said true?"

The madam didn't speak, she just nodded silently.

Originally, she saw that Ling Chu had contradicted her many times, and without her consent, she proposed to break off the engagement in front of Grandma Wang. The wife felt that she was really disrespectful, so she called her to the ancestral hall.

The purpose was to teach her a lesson in front of the spiritual tablets of her ancestors, and then make her kneel in the ancestral hall to reflect, as a punishment.

Who knew it would lead to such an unreasonable disaster.

Although Mrs. Tai did not say that Ling Chu caused the thunder and fire, she could not help but be suspicious at this time. If she had not called Ling Chu to the ancestral hall, wouldn't there have been a fire?

Ling Mao looked at Ling Chu with complicated eyes, "Sister Chu, what do you have to say?"

Ling Mao really didn't like this granddaughter.

He thought that the money was hidden well enough that even the Jin Yiwei couldn't find it.

Unexpectedly, he was slapped hard by this granddaughter who had just returned to Beijing.

Because of that money, he was demoted to a commoner by the emperor and treated as an outcast there.

His career was ruined in this way.

It is naturally impossible to say that there is no resentment in my heart.

Ling Chu had not grown up in the palace since she was a child. Although Ling Zong didn't have much affection for her, he saw that the second wife blamed her for the fire in the ancestral hall, and his wife was silent about it.

Ling Zong couldn't help but frown, "Father, what did you ask Chu Jie'er to say? The words of my siblings are just nonsense. Even though Chu Jie'er has a bad fate, she has never done anything wrong. .

It was just a coincidence that the ancestral hall was burned down by thunder and fire. How could we blame Chu Jie'er for this? "

Ling Chu was surprised. She really didn't expect that her cheap father would speak out to defend her.

Ling Mao was unmoved and scolded in a cold voice, "You still have rules in your eyes? My father didn't ask you anything. Just stand aside."

Ling Zong frowned, as he couldn't contradict his father in public anymore, so he had to secretly wink at Dong, gesturing for her to speak for Ling Chu.

However, Mrs. Dong turned a blind eye to his hint, holding the handkerchief in her hands and lowering her eyes without saying a word.

Ling Chu saw this in his eyes and felt no disturbance in his heart. He raised his head and looked directly at Ling Mao, "Father is right, what the second aunt said is just nonsense.

If the ancestral hall was struck by thunder because the ancestors of the Ling family were dissatisfied, which led to the punishment from heaven, then the second aunt became mute, was it also the punishment from the ancestors of the Ling family for her immoral words and deeds? "

The gloating expression on the second wife's face froze, and she subconsciously wanted to refute.

However, to her horror, she couldn't speak again.

Seeing the second wife open and close her mouth for a long time, but no sound came out, everyone was shocked.

Ling Luo and the Ling brothers and sisters walked quickly to the second wife, pulled her sleeves and shouted, "Mom, mom, what's wrong with you?"

The second wife saw their anxious faces and subconsciously wanted to comfort them, but she couldn't make a sound at all.

At this moment, everyone present changed their faces.

Ling Mao was so angry that his eyes went dark, and he didn't bother to ask Ling Chu, "Everyone should shut up about what happened today. If anyone dares to leak a word, get out of the Ling family. "

Just as the Ling family fell into decline, the ancestral hall was destroyed by thunder and fire, and the daughter-in-law became mute. If the news of this matter spread out, the Ling family would really have no place to stand in the capital.

Ling Mao waved his sleeves and left. The old lady could only frown and order her three sons to clean up the ruins of the ancestral hall and then invite craftsmen to rebuild the ancestral hall.

The second wife covered her neck with her hands and stared at Ling Chu with resentment. She didn't expect that this disaster star would escape again, and she would become mute.

Where are the tickets? Come to the bowl quickly!

Will there be ten monthly tickets today?

If not, I will ask later.
