Ning Hui Tang was an ancestor of the Leng Clan and since a few days ago when Luo Shang was half-dead, Leng Shaoyu had not allowed her to kneel and repent.
Today, she had only stepped foot here for the sake of that girl called Bin Er being able to leave the Gan branch.
When the sun rose above the roof, the resplendent light shone upon the King Jin Mansion, and the road to Ning Hui Hall was blocked by the intersecting trees and forests, it was still dark and gloomy. In the past, there were always servant guarding the doors of Ning Hui Hall, but why was there no one guarding the place today?
Luo Shang walked towards the red-brown ancient lacquer doors, she strode up the stairs and entered. The yard was very clean. There was not a single leaf on the ground, not even a speck of dust on the stone table. Even the tea was steaming hot through the opening of the small pot.
It seemed like someone had just cleaned up the place. She dragged the pain from her legs and walked inside.
The moment he stepped through the door, he could smell the strong sandalwood fragrance permeating the entire ancestral hall. In front of the rows of over a hundred spirit tablets were cups decorated with gold and porcelain beads.
Just like the previous times, Luo Shang ordered a few incense sticks of time before kneeling on the ground.
Only then did she stand up and do as Bin Er had said. She started to look for the stack of records that had been stained with ink. After searching for a while, she finally found a thick stack of papers at a side table. She walked over gently.
Her slender fingers gently moved as she slowly flipped through the book. She flipped through a few pages and found that it was exactly as the girl had said. The words on the book were no longer clear, only black.
Luo Shang let out a light breath, brought over a stack of paper that was the same as the scriptures, and began Yan Mo. Then, he laid the paper flat on the table. She knelt down at the table, rolled up her sleeves, and began to copy the handwriting from the original scripture.
Those words that were already indistinct and unrecognizable were imprinted vividly on the paper in the woman's hand, becoming musical notes that jumped about. For some reason, Luo Shang always felt that she had copied scriptures before, so she was very familiar with this set of paths.
The tea on the table in the yard had gradually turned cold, and the ground was covered with fallen leaves. As the sun rose, the sunlight became more and more glaring, shining on the smooth concrete floor of the yard.

Outside Ning Hui Hall, Ma Gu was walking over.
"What's going on? Where did everyone go? " When Ma Gu saw that there was no one guarding outside, her face immediately darkened. Looking around, she realised that there was still no one around.
"Where did this bunch of damned servant go to slack off? You guys hurry up and bring them back to this old lady. With one hand on his waist, she turned around and pointed at the servant behind her as he ordered loudly.
The girls followed her instructions and did not dare to delay for even a second. They hurriedly went to find the guards.
After they left, Ma Gu spat at them and walked towards the ancestral hall with big steps.
The door to the hall in the ancestral hall was always open. She had just reached the side of the door, but before she could enter, she heard a few soft drumming sounds. She immediately walked inside with her wrinkled face.
At one side of the room, a woman was sitting with her back facing him. Her long hair was hanging down from her waist, and she was holding a pen. It was unknown what she was writing on the paper.
Ma Gu looked at her carefully. She was dressed in thin clothes and had a slim and beautiful back. She didn't recognize the woman until she saw the outline of her face, the high bridge of her nose, her indifferent eyes, and the proud, beautiful face.
Ma Gu clenched her teeth. Right now, it was only a month away from the ancestral worship ceremony, so what is this woman doing here? Moreover, the King did not order her to enter the ancestral hall.
"Princess, what are you doing here?" Ma Gu asked her.
Hearing the voice, Luo Shang turned her head, and looked at Ma Gu, she stood up and did not wait for her to speak. Ma Gu had already impatiently walked over to her. She had her head lowered as she looked at the scroll on the table, and picked up a piece of scripture that was drowned in ink. After reading it, her eyes widened, and wished that in another fifteen minutes, her eyes would pop out.
Ma Gu gripped the scroll in her hand tightly, and held onto the folded scroll in her hand. She gritted her teeth as she stared at Luo Shang fiercely, and asked angrily: "What is going on? Please give servant an explanation. "
This scripture was copied and collected by the Magister of Baohua Temple for almost a month of his life. Only then did he write this scripture that was hard to come by. There was only one of it in this world. Now that the mage had gone into seclusion and his whereabouts were unknown, it would be difficult to find him. Furthermore, the grand ceremony was imminent. If something like this happened, wouldn't the Jin Residence be embarrassed?
It just so happened that at this time, a few servants brought the two servant s guarding the door back, and the two of them knelt in front of Ma Gu.
"Greetings, aunt."
Ma Gu didn't say anything, she simply kicked a little girl in the stomach. The little girl immediately fell to the side, spitting out the sour water in her stomach, her eyes were moist, looking at Ma Gu with an unexplainable fierceness.
"I don't know what kind of mistake the servant made to anger Aunty."
"Don't know what's wrong? You guys show this to me. " Saying that, Ma Gu threw a few sheets of scrolls and scrolls of scripture in her hands onto their faces.
The two girls picked up the paper roll on the ground and looked at it carefully. They opened their eyes wide and their feigned hands trembled. All of this was arranged by their Big Sister Yun Xiu, including the fact that they purposely gave Luo Shang the chance to enter the Ancestral Hall. The two girls looked at each other, then quickly lowered their heads and pleaded: "Ah, unjustly accused, the servant unjustly accused, Aunt …"
"You dare to call me wronged? If you hadn't left your post on your own, how could you have let Princess Hua-Yang in so easily? How could such a thing have happened?" You really have a lot of guts. " Ma Gu looked at the two maidservant s on the ground, wishing that he could skin them alive and pull their tendons out.
"Aunt, the servant were indeed wronged. In the morning, Princess Luo said that they were here on orders from the Prince to burn the incense, and the servant wanted to stop them, but she insisted on going in and even used the Prince to pressure us. The servant really had no other choice but to let Princess Hua-Yang in, and then Princess Hua-Yang told servant and the rest not to stand in the way, and sent us on our way. "Only then did the servant's people leave their posts. They didn't leave Ning Hui Tang's aunt on purpose. Please spare our lives …"
"Aunty, please spare our lives. The servant did not know that wangfei would do such a thing, otherwise, even if they had to sacrifice their lives, we would not dare to leave this place." Two maidservant s singing one together, they acted really well, coordinating very well, it could only be said that Yun Xiu's mother was acting really well.
After hearing what they had said, Ma Gu turned her head to look at Luo Shang. Wangfei, what other explanations do you have? "
Luo Shang's haughty and indifferent eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. She thought, could it be that from the very beginning, everything that happened in this series of events was colluded by them just to lure her into taking the bait? At first, Bin Er had asked for help, but now she had smoothly entered Ning Hui Hall. No wonder she felt that there was something strange about the current Ning Hui Tang being left unguarded. So it turned out that all of this had been arranged for her. For them to go through so much trouble, did they really have to put in so much effort?
"This Concubine did not do these things." Luo Shang replied indifferently and casually.
"Esteemed wangfei, how can you say this? The servant was wronged because of you. Do you still want to blame this mistake on the servant?" The two girls created something out of nothing, yet they spoke as if it was true.
Luo Shang's proud and aloof eyes blinked, and didn't further argue with her.
"Aunt, since the wangfei has done such a thing, you must not let her off lightly this time." At the same time, behind everyone, Yun Xiu and Bin Er were walking towards them.
Yun Xiu looked at the two girls who were lying on the ground and smiled at them in satisfaction, indicating that they had done a good job. Then, she lit a fire in front of Ma Gu: "Aunt, this is an important matter. I think it would be better to report this matter directly to the prince, and let the prince personally decide. "
Ma Gu raised her eyebrows meaningfully and nodded her head. Then, she sent someone to Yue'e Pavilion and reported the matter to the King Jin.
Afterwards, the girl who reported back brought them all to the main hall.
The main hall was silent and solemn.
The man in the main seat leaned his body against the seat with one hand on his forehead. He wore a soft and silky brocade robe. The belt around his waist did not fasten the collar of his clothes tightly, revealing his mesmerizing, beige chest. Half of her long black hair hung loose on her shoulders, tied up by a silver ribbon. Her flawless and handsome face carried a natural noble aura, and her pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes were suffused with a deep and cold light.
His eyes were closed, and he was sitting in the same charming position.
Seeing that he had not opened her mouth, Ma Gu immediately spoke first: "My prince, the thousand scriptures are all useless. I'm afraid that I will not be able to return to my original form before the ceremony."
"servant greets Your Highness. Reporting to Your Highness, even though wangfei knows the scripture is very important, she's still not being careful. I really don't know what wangfei An is thinking, but she still wants to frame us." I beg the Duke, please investigate this matter thoroughly, servant and the rest are wrongly accused, "Yun Xiu knelt down with Bin Er and the other two servant s.
The man in the seat of honor opened his eyes and slowly raised them. He stared at the few people kneeling on the steps in front of the hall. His thin lips curved into a perfect curve, but his gloomy eyes didn't have the slightest trace of a smile as he spoke.
"Oh? "Then tell me, how should I deal with her?"
When Yun Xiu heard the Prince speaking to her in this way, she couldn't help but be overjoyed. The Prince was finally willing to speak to her face to face, she straightened her chest, stepped on her nose and said haughtily, "Princess, you deliberately destroyed the scriptures. This is disrespecting the ancestors of the Leng Clan, if you don't punish them severely, I'm afraid the Leng Clan's ancestors won't be able to rest in peace. So... Therefore, the prince should drag the wangfei out with him and shoot her with a staff! "
A few of the maidservant s and Ma Gu all looked at her. They did not know that Yun Xiu was actually this anxious, or that she actually wanted to bring down the wangfei. She was really vicious. Her heart was in such a rush that she obtained the sweetness and wanted the prince to kill the wangfei with his staff. No matter what, Luo Shang was still the young miss of the Luo Palace. How could the younger sister of General Luo, a mere servant, decide life and death?
Luo Shang's life, could only be controlled by that man!
Hearing that, Leng Shaoyu laughed, his elegant and upright body slowly stood up, then left his seat and walked down the stage. His brows were like a distant mountain. The corners of his mouth had a smile, and the slightly raised corners of his eyes made him seem as if he was always holding a thin smile.
He looked at the woman with a calm face and narrowed his eyes. "What don't you want to explain?"
Listening to him, Luo Shang raised her gaze to look at the man standing in front of her.
"Would Your Highness believe the explanation of chenqie? Since Your Highness doesn't believe me, why should chenqie go and explain? "
Last night, she wanted to explain, but this cold man wouldn't give her the chance to explain. Even if she did, he wouldn't believe her and would still humiliate and torture her.
Compared to this, there was no need for him to do anything unnecessary.
