The Peace Lightness Hall was the spirit hall of the ancestor of the Leng Clan. A few days ago, after Luo Shang had beaten her half to death, Leng Shaoyu had never 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 Prince Jin Manor was lit up by light. As for the road to Peace Lightness Hall, it was blocked by the crisscrossing trees and forests on both sides, still deep and dark. Normally, there would be servants guarding the gates to the Peace Lightness Hall, so why was it so abnormal 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 the Peace Lightness Hall, Nanny Ma was walking towards him.
"What's going on? Where did everyone go? " When Nanny Ma 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 these damn servants go to be lazy? You guys hurry up and bring them back to this old lady. She placed one hand on her waist, then turned around and pointed at the servants behind her as she commanded 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, Nanny Ma 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.
Nanny Ma 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.
Nanny Ma 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?" Nanny Ma asked her.
Hearing the voice, Luo Shang turned her head, and looked at Nanny Ma, she stood up and did not wait for her to speak. Nanny Ma 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.
Nanny Ma 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? Could wangfei please give this 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 servants guarding the door back, and the two of them knelt in front of Nanny Ma.
"Greetings, aunt."
Nanny Ma 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 Nanny Ma with an unexplainable fierceness.
"We don't know what mistake we made to anger Auntie."
"Don't know what's wrong? You guys show this to me. " Saying that, Nanny Ma 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 maidservants looked at each other and hurriedly lowered their heads to beg for forgiveness, "Injustice, the servants are injustice, auntie …"
"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. " Nanny Ma looked at the two servants on the ground, wishing she could skin them alive and pull their tendons out.
"Aunty, the servants were indeed wronged. In the morning, Princess Luo said that she had followed the orders of her highness to burn some incense. The servants wanted to stop her, but she insisted on going in, and even used her highness to pressure us." The servants had no other choice but to let the wangfei in. Afterwards, the wangfei told the servants not to stand in the way and sent us on our way. It was only then that the servants left their posts. It was not because they wanted to leave the Peace Lightness Hall without permission.
"Auntie, please spare our lives. We servants really didn't know that wangfei would do such a thing. Otherwise, even if we had to sacrifice our lives, we wouldn't dare to leave this place half a step, aunty." The two maidservants singing and matching, their acting was really good, cooperating really well, it could only be said that Yun Xiu was doing really well in private.
After hearing what they had said, Nanny Ma 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? It was no wonder she felt that there was something fishy about the Peace Lightness Hall being unguarded today. 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? We servants have been wronged because of you. Do you still want to blame this mistake on us?" The two maidservants 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 Nanny Ma: "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. "
Nanny Ma raised her eyebrows meaningfully and nodded her head. Then, she sent someone to Yue Pavilion and reported the matter to the Prince 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, Nanny Ma 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."
"Your servant greets Your Highness, and reports to Your Highness that even though wangfei knows the scripture is so important, she's still so careless. I really don't know what wangfei has in mind, but she still wants to frame us." I beg you, your highness, to investigate this matter thoroughly, I, your servant, am truly wronged, "Yun Xiu said as she knelt with Bin Er and the other two servants.
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 him 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 arrogantly, "Wangfei deliberately destroying the scripture is a great disrespect to the ancestors of the Leng Clan. If this servant does not punish her severely, even the ancestors of the Leng Clan would not be able to rest in peace. So... Therefore, the prince should drag the wangfei out with him and shoot her with a staff! "
The servants and Nanny Ma all looked at her. They really did not know that Yun Xiu was actually this anxious, and had such a strong desire 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 a young miss of the Luo Palace. How could a mere servant like her, the younger sister of the General Luo, decide whether he lived or died?
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.
