Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1732

......

Xiao Zhi looked up at the sky outside the window. He inexplicably wanted to stay for a meal, but he felt it was inappropriate, so he stood up and said goodbye. "I will accept Miss Chi's request at the court tomorrow morning."

When he stepped out of the door, the faint twilight of the late autumn evening outlined his tall silhouette. He turned his head and stopped, revealing half of his upright face immersed in the shadows, "I will come to your house to ask for a few glasses of wine when the prince consort returns triumphantly. Take care of yourself, my sister."

Shi Anxia said yes and stood up to see him off. She was slightly distracted as she looked at the figure disappearing into the twilight.

Well, a little proud.

In her previous life, she had poor taste in choosing men, but her taste in choosing emperors was impeccable.

She burst into laughter.

The next morning, the imperial edict from the court arrived directly at the Chi Mansion, ordering the elders of the Chi clan to open the ancestral temple and the ancestral hall and relocate the branch clan.

The six large cinnabar characters "Imperial Order to Open the Temple and Move the Branch" made Old Master Chi's eyes go black.

"Good! Very good!" Old Master Chi slapped Old Madam Chi in the face with his backhand, his old face twisted like a ghost, "If Qing'er's lineage moves out of the Chi family today, you will also get out in the future, and never think of entering our Chi family's ancestral tomb!"

Old Madam Chi had never thought that in her whole life, she would be kicked out of the house.

She fell to her knees and begged desperately, leaving ten bloody marks on the ground with her nails.

Old Master Chi kicked her and rushed to the ancestral hall with a flick of his sleeves.

Madam Chi slowly stood up, took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood off her fingertips bit by bit, and coldly ordered the maidservant beside her, "Go, open the door to the mansion, and invite all the neighbors to come in and see the excitement."

She whispered a few more words of advice.

The nanny took the order and left.

Old Madam Chi took off her hair bun, her fancy clothes, and rushed to the ancestral hall wearing only a plain white shirt.

Just when everyone was stunned, Old Madam Chi rushed into the ancestral hall like a whirlwind and hugged the tablet of her eldest son Chi Yiqing in her arms.

Her skinny fingers clasped the ebony tablet tightly, and her nails made a harsh scratching sound on the three large gold-painted characters "Chi Yiqing".

"My poor son—" She pressed the cold tablet against her cheek, and her tears just soaked the last stroke of the word "Yi".

She hugged the tablet and sat on the steps of the ancestral hall crying, "My son! This is my son! No one of you can take him away!"

At this moment, anyone who looks at her can see that she is a mother who loves her son dearly.

The crowd of onlookers gathered more and more, three layers inside and three layers outside. The servants of the Chi Mansion had received the hint, and instead of dispersing them, they brought in a few benches for the elderly to rest.

Everyone saw the white-haired old woman curled up on the steps of the ancestral hall, holding her son's tablet like a mother animal protecting her cub.

Madam Chi saw that the time was right and suddenly raised her head and wailed, startling the birds under the eaves. "Qing'er——"

With this sound, the century-old locust tree outside the ancestral hall shook off its yellow leaves.

“Qing’er!” She called out again, first raising her voice to the point of almost breaking it, then suddenly turning into a faint tremor, “I would rather die here than let anyone disturb your incense!”

Mrs. Zhang, the tofu seller, took the fifty copper coins and clattered them in her pocket. She wiped her eyes and cried, "Oh my God! This is going to kill me!"

Old Li, who was selling noodles, also cried miserably, "The old lady is very kindhearted, who in the neighborhood doesn't know that? The son she raised died, and she almost cried until her eyes went blind. Sirs, please be kind, it's pitiful enough for the old to send off the young, and now...ah..."

The atmosphere was already tense. Madam Chi suddenly rushed to her granddaughter Chi Shuang, who was standing under the locust tree. She knelt in front of her with her hair disheveled, "Grandma is sorry for you! Shuang'er, please forgive grandma!"
