Chapter 465: Too Big of a Brain Hole

"What on earth does this mean?" Ye Jingsheng was furious, and he threw the remaining three half-burnt incense sticks to the ground. "You can't light the fire, and the incense breaks when you put it on. What on earth do you want to do?"

Ye Wenyan narrowed his eyes, "Who are you arguing with? Who are you trying to show off to? Who are you throwing at? Don't you know where this place is? Throwing incense is like throwing at your ancestors. This is not your ancestor, so you don't have any psychological burden, right?"

Ye Jingsheng didn't understand what he said at first, but Old Madam Ye did, and she broke out in a cold sweat. At the same time, she was more certain that Ye Wenyan must know the secret, but she couldn't figure out how he knew it.

Things that happened back then, things that happened back then… She kept talking about it in her heart, and she thought of one person: her aunt Tang. People in Lin'an didn't know about her when she was young, but people in the Jiang family in Xiushan County knew about it. Even though Tang hadn't married into the Jiang family at that time, they were good sisters, and good sisters should share secrets with each other.

As a result, what Tang shared with her was that she had a crush on her younger brother Jiang Shuo, and what she shared with Tang was that she liked a scholar.

It’s over, it must be Tang!

Madam Ye felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and instantly felt that she might not have many days left to live. If this matter fell into Ye Wenyan's hands, he might kill her and the second family. What should she do?

The old lady was in a state of panic, while Ye Jingsheng was still arguing with the incense. He asked for three more incense sticks, and asked the servants to light them for him, and then he held the incense to worship his ancestors, but the incense broke again.

He was so angry that he even had the urge to smash the incense table.

But she still had her sanity, knowing that this was the ancestral hall and she couldn't mess around, but she still hated the Ye family's ancestors for eighteen generations, and even cursed General Ye in her heart. It was nothing more than saying that you didn't love me when you were alive, and you still made things difficult for me after you died, and whether I was your biological child. But as she cursed, she finally understood what Ye Wenyan meant by that sentence just now.

Saying that these are not his ancestors? Isn't that a roundabout way of saying that he is not a member of the Ye family? How can he not be a member of the Ye family? If he is not a member of the Ye family, then whose family is he from? Who is he?

Ye Jingsheng went to see the old lady again, but the old lady's panic made him feel disappointed. He had a strong bad feeling in his heart. But he still didn't dare to believe it. After all, this matter was too big. The old man was very smart. How could he allow the old lady to do such a big thing and raise him to this age without saying a word? It's impossible. He was overthinking.

Ye Jingsheng stepped back a few steps, turned around and said to the people still standing outside: "Who's next? Today's incense is damp and brittle, not easy to burn but easy to break, you all be careful." Although he said so, he thought in his heart that it would be best if everyone was like him, unable to light the incense, and the incense broke as soon as he worshipped. In this way, he would not look out of place, and the law would not blame everyone!

Mrs. Mu walked in, saying as she walked, "Both damp and brittle? So which is damp or brittle? This is just like saying both cold and hot, very contradictory." She walked forward slowly, took the incense from the servant, and waited for a while but saw that Xiao Shubai did not come in, so she did not delay any longer and just stood the three incense sticks upside down and put them close to the candle flame and lit them carefully.

Ye Jingsheng stared at the incense with his eyes wide open, and kept repeating in his heart: Don't burn it, don't burn it. As long as Mu's incense doesn't burn, this matter has nothing to do with him.

However, Mu's incense was burning, and it lit up quickly. He watched as Mu shook the incense with the flame still on it, then stepped back a few steps and raised it to his forehead, and bowed again and again. The incense was burning well, not extinguished, and not broken. Everything was just like burning incense normally, until Mu inserted the incense into the incense burner, and still no accidents happened.

Mu knelt down again and kowtowed to the ancestors of the Ye family, then stood up and retreated to the other side, standing opposite Ye Jingsheng. Ye Wenyan glanced at the old lady and said, "What do you think, grandma?"

The old lady shuddered and said nothing.

Ye Wenyan sneered, then walked in. Ye Qingmei and Ye Feiyu followed behind. Although Ye Lianmian was reluctant, he had no choice but to go, so he followed behind. Only Ye Feizhou hesitated, and he retracted his raised foot. Seeing Ye Wenyan looking back at him, he shook his head slightly, meaning that he would not go in with them.

Ye Wenyan thought about it, and simply used the sound transmission technique to send a message to Ye Feizhou's ear: "Come with me, it's okay."

Ye Feizhou was startled when he heard the voice suddenly, but he had seen Ye Wenyan perform magic in Yanhua Palace before, so after he understood it, he didn't find it strange. He just couldn't make up his mind whether to enter the ancestral hall or not.

Seeing this, Ye Jingsheng couldn't help but sneer and said, "What's the matter? You look down on our second branch, and now you don't want to go in with the first branch to worship the ancestors? Then who are you going to follow? Or do you look down on the Ye family and want to go to the Renwang Palace?"

Ye Feizhou didn't want to waste time talking to him, so he raised his foot and stepped directly over the threshold of the ancestral hall.

Light incense, worship, insert incense sticks, kowtow, go through the whole process, and everything is peaceful.

Ye Feizhou breathed a sigh of relief, she knew that Ye Wenyan must have done something, so that his incense was safe and sound. Because he had the experience of broken incense, he knew that he could not afford to burn this incense, and his ancestors would not like it.

But why couldn't Ye Jingsheng afford it? Was it just the two of them who couldn't afford it, or was it that everyone in the second house couldn't afford it?

Ye Jingsheng was also confused at this moment, because so far, only his incense had problems. But at the same time, he was relieved. Ye Feizhou's incense was fine, at least it meant that the problem was not whether he was a member of the Ye family. It should be that the ancestors simply didn't like him! Just like when the old man was alive, he looked down on him with black eyes and white eyes.

He was muttering these things in his mind when he saw Xiao Shubai walking in, supported by servants.

When she chased after the Sixth Prince in Xuming Hall, she was kicked back by the Sixth Prince. There was blood on the corner of her mouth and she was seriously injured. The servants carried her on each side and made her kneel on the futon. Then the man guarding the ancestral hall lit incense for her and handed the burning incense to her. The servant said, "Second Madam, just bow and say that. I will help you light the incense."

The result was that after a simple worship, the incense broke. It broke right when Xiao Shubai took it in his hand.

Ye Jingsheng was shocked again, and his heart, which had finally been put at ease, was lifted up again. At this moment, he thought of a lot of things.

If he was not the child of the Ye family, then Xiao Shubai was not the daughter-in-law of the Ye family, and the ancestors of the Ye family naturally did not want them to come and pay their respects. But why did Ye Feizhou succeed? Does that mean that Ye Feizhou is not his biological son?

But he is not his biological son, so he must be the son of Xiao Shubai and an outsider. The ancestors of the Ye family cannot recognize an outsider, right? In this way, the only possibility is that Ye Feizhou is the son of Xiao Shubai and Ye Jinggui. Only in this way can he be recognized by the Ye family, because he is indeed the blood of the Ye family.

When he thought of this, Ye Jingsheng's imagination became even bigger. Yes, Xiao Shubai was originally going to marry Ye Jinggui, but the old man disagreed, so she had to settle for him. According to Xiao Shubai's methods, if he could drug him, he could also drug Ye Jinggui. He must have done something with Ye Jinggui first, and then used the same method on him.

He was in a state of confusion the entire night he was drugged, and had no idea what he had done. The bloodstain on the couch was probably a fake created by Xiao Shubai, and who knows what kind of blood it was! How could he believe her?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was right, and the angrier he got. Ye Feizhou was the child of Xiao Shubai and Ye Jinggui. This fantasy had driven him crazy. At this moment, he was a typical case of paranoia.

The deep love between husband and wife, the blood relationship between father and son, all collapsed at this moment. He felt that it was Xiao Shubai who made him like a father, and that Xiao Shubai and his elder brother cheated on him. So he walked up, kicked Xiao Shubai out of the ancestral hall, and immediately cursed: "Shameless thing, dare to use such means to disgust me, do you Xiao family members have any face?"

Xiao Shubai spat out another mouthful of blood and was about to die. Jinxiu stood in front of her and begged, "Second Master, please stop beating me. If you continue beating me, I will kill you!" At the same time, she was also puzzled, "Why did the Master beat me?"

Ye Jing was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead, "Why? Ask her why I did that! And then ask her who gave birth to that rebellious son!" He really wanted to speak out his guesses, but he stopped himself in time and didn't dare to say another word.

Because he suddenly realized that he could only keep silent about this matter for the time being, otherwise once he said it in public, it would mean that he admitted that he was not a child of the Ye family. That would be a big deal!

It's a small matter for Xiao Shubai to have an affair, but it's a big matter for the old lady to have an affair. He cheated on General Ye and gave birth to a rebellious son and raised him for so many years. Once this matter is exposed, even if Ye Wenyan doesn't kill him, the old man's old subordinates will kill him, and the court will not let the old lady go. Even if they don't parade him in the streets or behead him in public for the sake of decency, they will have to execute him secretly.

It’s death anyway, but he doesn’t want to die, so he can’t tell anyone about this even if he is beaten to death!

Ye Jingsheng began to brainwash himself again: It’s all imagination, it’s all imagination, it’s not true, it’s not true.

As she washed, she didn't want to pay any more attention to Xiao Shubai and only turned her gaze to Ye Wushuang.

Wushuang couldn't burn incense anymore, he completely believed in Chang Xueqiao, so Wushuang's incense must be cut off. If Wushuang's incense was also cut off, it would mean that the ancestors of the Ye family were completely targeting his second branch, and his background would be a bit too obvious.

"Today is unlucky, so I won't burn the incense." He spoke and looked at the old lady at the same time, "What do you think, mother?"

The old lady nodded in agreement, "Yes, it is not suitable to open the ancestral hall on an unlucky day. Let's close it for now and do it another day."

Unexpectedly, Ye Wenyan said, "You can open it as you say, and close it as you say. Are you guys teasing ghosts here?"
