The president of a wealthy family imprisoned the wild bride

Every Qingming Festival, the four major families will gather together to worship the ancestors, first go to the cemetery to sweep the tombs, and then go to the ancestral hall to worship.

Gu Cheng had never taken Gu Meng to the cemetery to visit the grave before, probably because he felt that her birth was disgraceful, as he loves to save face the most.

Gu Meng's mother's body had been buried alone in the Eastern Suburb Cemetery before. Before Gu Cheng wanted to move the grave, Gu Meng cremated her mother's bones, and Li Jie took the initiative to bury the ashes in the private cemetery of the four major families.

The private cemetery of the four major families is on Luming Mountain in the north of the city, which is a treasured land of geomantic omen.

This was Gu Meng's first visit. The archways, stone steps, stele pavilions, and cemetery of the cemetery are arranged on a central axis, showing the solemnity and simplicity of traditional architecture everywhere.

The cemetery is located on the top of the mountain, surrounded by dense iron pines.

Gu Meng and Li Jie went up the stone steps. After she climbed the mountain, she found that all the members of the four major families had arrived except Zhao Man.Not only did Gu Rufeng fly back from England, but even the old man of the Li family who lived in seclusion also came.

When Li Tianlei saw Li Jie, he scolded him all the time: "You brat, you can be late for such a big thing as ancestor worship, and let everyone wait here for you!"

Everyone's eyes fell on Gu Meng who was beside Li Jie. After all, this was her first time participating in the Qingming ancestor worship activity.

Li Jie grabbed Gu Meng's shoulders: "Dad, you are wrong to blame me, it's because Gu Meng stays in bed and refuses to get up."

The tenderness in Li Jie's eyes and the pampering in his tone made it hard for everyone present to imagine: Did these two sleep together last night?

"Where do I have it?" Gu Meng glared at Li Jie, why is this fellow talking nonsense!

"It's all on me, all on me." Seeing that Gu Meng was angry, Li Jie smiled ambiguously: "Last night, you shouldn't have been so unrestrained, causing you..."

"Li Jie!" Gu Meng lowered his voice and asked angrily, "Why are you so crazy?"

Gu Meng looked at Li Jie in shock, thinking: He must not be mentally ill!

Of course Gu Meng didn't know, Li Jie said this to Lu Zijian on purpose, he just wanted to make Lu Zijian feel unhappy, who told him to always miss his fiancée.

Li Jie has indeed achieved his goal. At this moment, Lu Zijian looks calm on the surface, but his right hand behind his back is clenched into a fist, and the knuckles are clearly defined.

Li Tianlei saw that Li Jie was so outspoken in front of everyone, and was about to reprimand him on the spot, but the old man of the Li family spoke first: "It's getting late, let's sweep the grave first."

Hearing what the old man of the Li family said, besides Li Tianlei, Gu Cheng is the one who is not prone to seizures.

He hadn't planned to let Gu Meng come to worship the ancestors, and his anger is still there.

At the family banquet in the Li Mansion on the first day of the lunar new year, without telling him in advance, Gu Meng refused to marry in front of everyone in the family, and he didn't take his father seriously at all.

Later, she even disobeyed Gu Cheng in public, preventing him from stepping down.If it wasn't for the marriage between the Gu Li family, Gu Cheng would have kicked her out of the house long ago.

A group of people entered the cemetery in a mighty manner, and came to a round and large luxurious cemetery in the middle of the cemetery.

Gu Meng estimated in his heart that it would take twenty people holding hands to surround the cemetery.

The accompanying servants distributed shovels and other tools to the men present. After receiving the tools, everyone consciously scattered around the cemetery to weed, sweep, wash, and do it by themselves.

The lady of the family took the offerings of incense candles and placed them on the stone table.

Gu Meng followed behind doing nothing, looking at the inscriptions in front of the tombstone, but she couldn't understand many traditional characters.

Seeing this, Sheng Xuemei went to her side and explained: "Xiaomeng, this is the joint burial tomb of the four ancestors of our family, and it is also the first tomb we sweep to worship our ancestors every Qingming Festival. It is a rule passed down from our ancestors."

So, Gu Meng nodded, and she couldn't help sighing in her heart: No wonder the relationship between the four major families can last for hundreds of years, and the ancestors turned out to be a strong friendship who "can't live and die at the same point".

After cleaning the cemetery and offering incense and offering sacrifices, the group dispersed, and everyone cleaned their own tombs.

This is also Gu Meng's first visit to his mother's new cemetery to worship.

Li Jie built her mother's cemetery very grandly, and the size of the cemetery for a single person is as large as that of a married couple.

Before Bai Su died of dystocia, Gu Cheng asked Steward Zhou to take care of her affairs briefly, and he never went to the Eastern Suburb Cemetery.

It was also the first time Gu Cheng saw Bai Su's cemetery today, the woman in the black-and-white photo on the tombstone had a very faint smile, which seemed a bit unlucky.

How can a woman with no name or identity deserve to build a cemetery as big as the owner of the house?What a mess!

Gu Cheng cast a sharp glance in displeasure, this devil king is really messing around!

If he hadn't believed in the saying that "grave digging affects the fate of the family" passed down from his ancestors, Gu Cheng would have to tear it down and rebuild it.

He glanced at it and walked away, without any nostalgia for Bai Su in his heart.

Gu Meng didn't prepare anything, and didn't want to go to Steward Zhou to ask for incense candles as a tribute, so he knelt in front of the grave and stared at his mother's photo.

Suddenly, a bouquet of yellow chrysanthemums was handed to Gu Meng.

She looked up, and it turned out to be Fu Junshan!Gu Meng took the flowers: "Thank you, Uncle Fu."

Fu Junshan smiled slightly at Gu Meng, and walked away without saying anything.

Yellow chrysanthemums and white chrysanthemums are commonly used flowers for sacrifices. Gu Meng looked at the yellow chrysanthemums in his hand and thought: Did he pick them randomly or did he know that his mother likes yellow chrysanthemums?

Gu Meng turned her head to look at Fu Junshan's leaving back. His tall, slender figure was so similar to the back that she saw in the Eastern Suburb Cemetery that day.

Could it be that the man in black is him?

No, it shouldn't be.

Gu Meng quickly denied his conjecture, Fu Junshan had no reason to secretly worship his mother.

As soon as Gu Meng placed the bouquet in front of his mother's tombstone, Li Jie came over with his servants, and the stone table was covered with offerings of incense and candles.

Seeing Li Jie lighting a stick of incense and kneeling in front of his mother's grave, Gu Meng was shocked: "You..."

"Mom, son-in-law Li Jie kowtows to you all the time." After speaking, Li Jie actually kowtowed to Bai Su's photo with incense sticks.

His voice was not too loud, just enough for the Gu's family to hear.

"You, why are you screaming!" Gu Meng thought to himself: This fierce man is determined to kill himself today.

Li Jie inserted the incense candle and said with an innocent face: "If you don't call me mother, maybe you should call me mother-in-law."

Shen Man at the side paused when he heard the words, and turned his head to glance at Gu Meng.

"elder sister!"

"what?"

"What's wrong with you?" Gu Rufeng pointed to the incense in Gu Ruolan's hand: "It's ready."

"Oh!" Gu Ruolan came back to her senses, and blew out the flames in one gulp.

Shen Man glanced at her daughter, her heart was like a mirror, Gu Ruolan's attention was always on Li Jie.

Gu Ruolan turned her head and looked at the two people opposite who were arguing non-stop. She decided to implement her plan ahead of schedule.
