Chapter 30 Zhongyuan Shock

"Go and kneel in the ancestral hall. Don't come out without my permission." Mrs. Xu had a sullen face and hugged her daughter tightly.

Lu Yuanxiao drooped his head and let out a dejected sigh.

Then silently go to kneel in the ancestral hall.

Dengzhi's legs and feet were so frightened that he finally came back to his senses.

[Mom, don’t blame me, I really want to go out...]

Hey, he kissed Mrs. Xu on the face.

Mrs. Xu glanced at her daughter who was smiling heartlessly: "You are the happiest today. You scared my mother to death." Just thinking about it made her scared.

"The young master also likes his sister, madam..." Dengzhi wanted to plead with Lu Yuanxiao.

Lu Yuanxiao was usually sweet-tongued and never put on airs about the young master. The maids felt extremely sorry for him.

Xu glared at her angrily: "Okay, let's kneel down until after dinner."

Dengzhi immediately ordered to go down happily, and dinner will be served half an hour earlier today.

"Madam, people are always in high spirits during happy events." Dengzhi couldn't help but snicker. If madam hadn't been in such a good mood today, I'd be afraid that the young master's butt would explode.

Mrs. Xu pursed her lips and smiled softly.

Early this morning, all the things lost in her private treasury were recovered, and a large amount of compensation was collected.

At least she has made up for it financially for all her hard work over the years.

I am afraid that the Hou Mansion will be nothing more than an empty shell.

"Well, the old lady had dark circles under her eyes early in the morning. She said she wanted to burn incense."

"I'm afraid I'm looking over there." Dengzhi was unconvinced.

"Madam, how about..."

"Shall we make peace?" Dengzhi thought about it countless times and finally said this.

Lu Chaochao suddenly jumped up in his arms [Heli, Heli, Heli! 】

[New dad, new dad! 】

"You see, the young lady is secretly having fun." Dengzhi really didn't want his wife to be punished again.

Just thinking about living in a scam for the past seventeen years made her feel aggrieved for her wife.

Xu looked slightly startled.

"Dengzhi, I have three sons and one daughter. Since ancient times, when a woman goes home with her husband, she does not take her children with her." Unless the other party gives up voluntarily.

Now, Lu Yuanze's chips are not enough.

Not enough to make him abandon several children.

When Dengzhi saw that she was silent, he ordered dinner to be served.

In the evening, the old lady and Lu Yuanze returned to the Hou Mansion. They both looked tired and had a faint anger in their eyes.

Xu disrupted all their plans.

"That wife of yours is so vicious, she actually wants to destroy Jing Huai!"

"Jinghuai is the seed of my house and the hope of the house! Have you seen the way Jinghuai endures his loneliness today? It makes me feel bad." The old lady held the handkerchief and cried.

Nanny Lin was her confidant, and she was also pushed out to take the blame. This time she seemed to be seriously injured.

"She is also a mother, why is she so cruel?"

"Just because the child she gave birth to is unsatisfactory, will she destroy other people's children?" The old lady's crutch hit the ground with a thud.

Lu Yuanze frowned.

"Mom, be careful! They are not evil, they are also my children!" Lu Yuanze looked hesitant.

The old lady slammed her cane and hit him on the head.

He covered his head in pain, and traces of blood spilled from his palms.

"Confused!"

"If it were an inkstone back then, that would be it. Now, he is a cripple! He is a cripple who needs to be taken care of by people even when he eats, drinks, and poops!"

"Living will only bring shame to my Marquis!"

"How smart is Jing Huai? He is famous in the capital! Not to mention Jing Yao, getting the abbot's prophecy is extremely valuable! And what about Jiao Jiao? I have been following you for seventeen years without any name or status!"

"That poisonous woman Xu Shiyun!" The old lady looked resentful.

This time, Jing Huai's reputation was almost ruined and everything was lost.

"Her natal family is very powerful. I originally planned to raise Jingyao under her name if her child dies early. Put it in her name. Once I have feelings, I won't be defensive." To the Xu family, Whatever Xu Shiyun does, there is a chance.

In the future, Jingyao will gain a good reputation if he kills his relatives out of righteousness!

pity……

"If Jingyao is around, we can relieve the pain of missing each other. A good granddaughter must be raised outside and never see the light of day."

Lu Yuanze's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say anything.

The sky was getting dark, and the servants in the mansion closed the doors and windows tightly and checked whether the doors and windows were affixed with door gods.

Zishi...

Waves of white mist appeared on the horizon, covering everything.

In the white mist, terrifying creatures with different shapes, teeth and claws appeared.

There are headless people wandering aimlessly, looking for heads everywhere. There are broken arms and limbs, bloody mouths, and all kinds of strange and terrifying existences.

All floating in the sky.

There were faint sharp sounds in his ears.

Mrs. Xu was wearing clothes and climbed up the branch without even daring to light the oil lamp. She said in the moonlight: "Madam, don't worry, there are door gods posted everywhere. There is even black dog blood sprinkled at the foot of the wall. It's completely intact."

Xu glanced at the sleeping An Ran and kicked off the brocade quilt, revealing Lu Chaochao's snow-white belly.

Xu pulled Chaochao's clothes to cover her belly.

"Today, I'm afraid I can only sleep well in the morning."

"Is Yuanxiao going out? Has he eaten?" Mrs. Xu looked a little embarrassed.

Juexia chuckled and lowered his voice: "Don't worry, Brother Yuanxiao has gone back to rest long ago. Before going out, I sent someone to deliver snacks."

"It's time to go on a parade."

The sound of wind whistling outside the door was faintly mixed with the howling of ghosts and wolves, which made people's scalp numb.

"Every July and a half, people are always in panic, hey." Dengzhi sighed.

"Tonight, it seems to be more terrifying than in previous years. This fog makes it so dark that I can't see my fingers. It's completely white and I can't see anything." In previous years, as long as the door was closed, one could still move around in the courtyard.

But this year, white mist actually entered the house.

White mist entered the house, and many inexplicable things seemed to appear in the house.

"Have all the servants gone into the house to avoid it?" Ms. Xu asked.

It was obviously midsummer, but now I felt a bone-crushing cold. I touched my arm and got goosebumps all over my body.

"I will tell them to go down in the afternoon and ask them to go back to the house. There is no one in the courtyard right now."

"I'm afraid it won't get better until dawn."

"My eyelids are twitching so much. I wonder how Yuanxiao is doing?" This is Lu Yuanxiao's first time participating in a street parade.

Beizhao has regulations that when scholars reach the age of eight, they can participate in street parades to exorcise evil spirits.

Everything is voluntary.

"Why can't I hear the sound of reading for a long time?" In previous years, the deafening sound of reading could be heard on this street. It can always dispel the terrible darkness and bring a glimmer of light.

Dengzhi's eyebrows were also a little anxious.

Today is different from previous years.

"It's okay, there are eminent monks here to take care of it, so everything will be fine." She whispered, and the two maids Yingxue and Juexia also hugged each other and trembled.

Sudden...

There was a sharp crunching sound in my ears.

The stinging person's eardrums are sore.

Several people looked towards the door suddenly.

I saw the door creaking, and there seemed to be something outside the door, trying desperately to squeeze in.
