After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy

Qing'er glanced at the hourglass. It was already past midnight. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Madam, it's already midnight. Why did the old lady ask you to go to the ancestral hall?"

Is there anything that must be said in the middle of the night?

"I don't know, it doesn't hurt to go and take a look." Jiang Xiyu said lightly.

There was coldness in his eyes and eyebrows.

Qing'er didn't say anything else and dressed her silently.

After Jiang Xiyu came out, Mother Li was still standing in the yard.

"Madam." Mother Li did not bow to Jiang Xiyu, but just called her lightly.

A hint of mockery flashed across Jiang Xiyu's eyes.

In her previous life, she was truly blinded by greed. The servants in the mansion didn't take her seriously, but she couldn't see it and still foolishly gave her all for them.

You have to know that the servants in the mansion are all flattering the weak and the Xu family in the mansion look down on her, so how could they respect her as the nominal mistress.

She said casually, "Mother is so kind to Madam Li. She treats Madam Li like a family member. As the mistress, I guess I have to bow to Madam Li and show her respect from now on. Otherwise, Mother will definitely give me some advice."

These words were like a slap in Mother Li's face.

She is just a servant. Even if she is favored by the master, how can she be greater than the master and need the mistress to pay her respects? Yunchao has always governed the country with courtesy. If His Majesty knew about this, she would not be able to chop off ten heads, not to mention that it would implicate the Yonglin Marquis Mansion.

Madam Li's face was completely pale, and she forced a smile as she said, "Madam, your words are really embarrassing. You are the master of this mansion, and I should be respectful to you."

As he spoke, he slightly bent his knees towards Jiang Xiyu, "This old servant greets the Madam."

Jiang Xiyu didn't ask her to stand up and talk. Instead, she smiled and changed the subject. "Mother Li, is there something wrong with my mother asking me to go to the ancestral hall so late?"

Mother Li was furious, but after the beating she had just given, she didn't dare to be presumptuous. She lowered her head slightly and said, "The old lady has asked the imperial physician to come and treat the young master and the aunt. With such a serious incident, the old lady has been unable to sleep well, so she has been praying for the young master and the aunt in the ancestral hall. So, she asked Madam to go and pray for them as well."

Jiang Xiyu narrowed her eyes slightly, and instantly understood that Zheng deliberately asked her to go to the ancestral hall in the middle of the night to vent her anger at Lanruo Temple.

Jiang Xiyu knew she couldn't escape, so she asked Qing'er to go back and get her a cloak. Just as she was about to put it on and leave, Madam Li glanced at Qing'er and said calmly, "The old lady said that outsiders are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall. Let Madam go alone."

Normally, going to the ancestral temple outside of festivals is punishable, so she's usually not allowed to bring anyone with her. But allowing her to go in the middle of the night is very strange.

"Qing'er, you stay here and watch over the yard."

Jiang Xiyu looked at Qing'er deeply, turned around and walked towards the door.

Qing'er was stunned and stayed where she was, pondering Jiang Xiyu's words.

Mother Li walked in front holding the palace lantern, and Jiang Xiyu followed behind her. They walked towards the ancestral hall in silence.

When he arrived at the entrance of the ancestral hall, Jiang Xiyu saw the candlelight from afar.

But when she entered the ancestral hall, she found that there was no one inside.

Jiang Xiyu frowned and turned back, wanting to ask about Mother Li, but she turned around and found that Mother Li had disappeared. Then the heavy wooden door of the ancestral hall was slammed shut.

Jiang Xiyu reacted and quickly walked forward to push the door, but the door of the ancestral hall seemed to be tied by someone from the outside, and no matter how hard she pushed, it did not move at all.

Jiang Xiyu banged on the door vigorously and shouted, "Mother Li, what do you want to do?"

"Madam, the old lady said that you are too violent and hurt the young master so badly. She ordered you to kneel in the ancestral hall and reflect on your sins." Mother Li's proud voice came from outside.

Jiang Xiyu shouted angrily, "How dare you! I order you to open the door immediately."

Mother Li's unhurried voice came again.

"This is the old lady's order. I dare not disobey. The old lady said that as long as you reflect on your mistakes, you will be released tomorrow morning. Madam, please reflect on your mistakes in the ancestral hall tonight."

Then came the sound of Mother Li's footsteps walking away.

Jiang Xiyu kicked the door violently several times, but the door just made a sound and nothing happened.

Jiang Xiyu hurried to the only window and wanted to jump out, but found that the window could not be opened.

In order to prevent rats, ants and rain from coming in and corroding the wooden ancestral tablets, the windows are kept closed all year round. They are only opened for ventilation and sunlight when the sun is shining.

It has been raining all the time, so the windows are closed.

Jiang Xiyu pushed the window several times, which used to open with just one push. But this time, no matter how hard she pushed, she couldn't open it. Jiang Xiyu guessed that someone must have welded it shut with wooden boards.

Jiang Xiyu was a little panicked and had a bad feeling in her heart.

They went to great lengths to do all this, it shouldn't be as simple as just making her kneel in the ancestral hall.

Suddenly, I smelled a strong smell of tung oil.

"Who's outside?" Jiang Xiyu shouted outside.

Not only did no one outside pay any attention to her, but there was also a sound of chaotic footsteps, and the smell of tung oil became stronger and stronger.

Soon she smelled a burning smell, followed by billowing smoke.

"Cough cough..."

Jiang Xiyu was instantly choked and started coughing violently. The temperature in the house was getting higher and higher, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger. Jiang Xiyu shouted hard, "Hurry up, someone, there's a fire."

The footsteps outside gradually faded away, and no one responded to her.

The fire that originally started along the edge, under the effect of tung oil, instantly spread like wildfire and spread to the entire ancestral hall. Jiang Xiyu was surrounded by the fire.

Watching the fire growing bigger and bigger, Jiang Xiyu forced herself to remain calm and scanned the entire ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall is not a room. It is a space of about 5 meters long and 5 meters wide. In the innermost part are wooden tablets of the Xu family's ancestors. There are several cushions on the ground, and a wooden table about one meter square next to it. There is a small stool next to the table, and the rest of the place is empty.

There was no water and no place for her to hide. Seeing the fire growing bigger and bigger, Jiang Xiyu panicked completely and slammed towards the door with all her strength, but her strength was nothing compared to the door.

Jiang Xiyu was exhausted from banging on the door, but it still didn't move at all.

With a "bang", the beam above his head that was burned by the fire suddenly broke and fell straight towards Jiang Xiyu's head. Jiang Xiyu was too tired and his brain was unable to react for a while. He just stared blankly at the wooden board coming towards him.

She thought to herself that God had given her another life, but she hadn't done anything yet and she was going to die again.

I feel very unwilling!
