Jiang Ruanxi said without raising his head, "What's going on? Is it because of the old lady's matter?"

"Madam, how do you know?" Hongye was surprised. Jiang Ruanxi knew it before she even said anything.

Hearing this, Jiang Ruanxi put down the book, his eyes flashing with excitement.

Hong Ye became more and more confused as to why Jiang Ruan Xi was so happy.

She seems to be happier than when the old lady and her aunt were in jail for committing crimes.

"Can you tell me carefully?"

Hongye told Jiang Ruanxi everything she saw.

"Originally, the eldest master wanted to take the old lady back to the Lin family, but Master Lin Shu's people sent her directly to the clan leader. However, the eldest master refused, and now there is a big fuss."

"Come on, let's go see the excitement."

Jiang Ruanxi stood up and walked out.

When Jiang Ruanxi brought Hongye to Lin Runkun's house, Lin Feng's cursing voice was heard, "Lin Shu, don't think that you can dominate everything in the Lin family just because you are a small official. I will definitely take my mother away today." of."

"Auntie has done such a vicious thing. She can avoid the death penalty, but she cannot escape the punishment of living. Although she is in peace now, there are family rules in the family, and she will be punished if she violates the family laws." Lin Shu stood at the door, blocking Lin Shu. Go in front.

"Are you trying to force me to take action?" Lin Feng threatened Lin Shu with a cold face.

Lin Shu's face turned blue with anger. Seeing that the reasoning didn't make sense, he stopped reasoning with him and took a step forward. "You try it. It seems that you also want to go to the jail to clear your mind."

Lin Feng was so angry that he lost his mind and grabbed Lin Shu's collar. Just when he raised his hand and was about to swing it towards Lin Shu's face, Jiang Ruanxi's voice appeared at the right time.

"Brother, what are you doing? Lin Shu is an official and you are a citizen. You have to think clearly."

These words were like a drop of cold water, making Lin Feng's head heat up. He suddenly woke up and let go of Lin Shu's collar.

Lin Shu didn't argue with him. When he saw it was Jiang Ruan Xi, his expression softened a little and he called out respectfully, "Second sister-in-law."

Jiang Ruanxi nodded in return, but Lin Feng said with a cold face, "Second brother and sister, you came just in time. Lin Shu didn't let me take my mother back."

Jiang Ruanxi did not answer his question directly, but asked him instead, "Brother, does your sister-in-law know that you are here?"

Lin Feng's expression was a little unnatural, but he quickly said confidently, "Your sister-in-law is not feeling well, so I will come by myself today."

The implication is that I don’t know.

He's already a month old and is indeed not suitable for hard work, but Jiang Ruanxi knows very well in his heart that this is not the reason why He doesn't come, but because he doesn't want Zhou to go back at all.

"Since the patriarch is looking for my mother, why not listen to what the patriarch has to say."

Lin Feng frowned, thinking that if he didn't explain clearly, he might not be able to take his mother away.

Seeing that he was silent, Jiang Ruanxi said to Lin Shu, "I wonder where the clan leader is?"

"At the ancestral hall."

"Please lead the way."

The Lin family's ancestral hall is a small courtyard specially built by others. In fact, it is only separated by a wall from the Lin family's house.

Before the Lin family was stripped of their titles, the Zhou family only followed the Lin family's lead.

Rather than saying that this ancestral hall was built for the Zhou family, it would be better to say that it was built for the Lin family.

After the decline of the Lin family, the clan leader locked the door to the courtyard, leaving the door open for entry and exit.

The ancestral hall is solemn and solemn. It is late autumn now, when the leaves are withering. When you enter the courtyard, you will find it full of fallen leaves. Coupled with the weak sunlight, there is a gloomy atmosphere as soon as you enter.

Hundreds of ancestors of the Lin family are enshrined here. Even if there is sunshine, it cannot dispel the cold feeling.

Inside the ancestral hall, Lin Runkun stood aside, and Mrs. Zhou was kneeling on the ground.

When Lin Feng saw this, he rushed forward, "Mom, are you okay?"

Zhou's face turned pale. When she saw Lin Feng, she grabbed Lin Feng's hand and cried, "Feng'er, these ghost places are too scary. Please take me back quickly."

Although he was only imprisoned in the cell for five days and five nights, Zhou had been enjoying such a privileged life all these years, so how could he endure all that suffering?

The food was cold and had a rancid smell.

It was extremely cold inside the cell at night, and the quilt was thin and hard, but that didn't matter, she could still hear mice squeaking in the middle of the night.

When she opened her eyes, the mouse was standing right in front of her. It didn't seem to be afraid of her at all, but it scared her out of her wits.

Can't eat well, can't sleep.

I finally managed to get out, thinking that when I came back, I would be able to take a comfortable bath, have a good meal, and have a good night's sleep.

But who would have thought that he would be dragged here to kneel in the ruined ancestral hall.

She was feeling uncomfortable and scared now, and she just wanted to get out of this ghost place as soon as possible.

Lin Feng looked at Lin Runkun with a distressed look on his face and said, "Chief, if nothing happens, I will take my mother back right now."

With that said, he was about to pull Zhou up, but was stopped by Lin Runkun.

"Stop, she can't leave today." Lin Runkun's voice was a bit majestic and oppressive.

Lin Feng was still in a daze, and the clan leader added, "Not only can't we leave today, but we can't even think of leaving in the future."

"Clan leader, what do you mean?" Lin Feng seemed to understand something, but he was not sure.

"Zhou's murder of me cannot be left alone."

"Patriarch, haven't you forgiven my mother, and haven't the Yamen already decided this matter? My mother is innocent. She didn't want to kill you, she was just instigated..."

"The reason why I forgive your mother is just for the reputation of the Lin family and the future of the Lin family's descendants. But who can guarantee that your mother will not make mistakes again in the future?"

Lin Runkun interrupted Lin Feng directly.

The Zhou family is greedy, and everyone in the Lin family knows it.

Lin Feng was speechless when he thought of the things Zhou had done in the past.

"Being imprisoned in the ancestral hall is the greatest tolerance for her."

After all, he was poisoned. Although Lin Runkun was rescued, his face was pale and tired.

It was obvious that his energy was severely damaged.

Jiang Ruanxi watched this scene quietly, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"No, I don't want to enter the ancestral hall."

Zhou struggled to get up, but was held down by the Lin family members and could not move even a little bit.

The ancestral hall was cold and dark, and there were so many souls enshrined inside. She was timid, so she didn't want to stay in this ghostly place.

"It's not up to you." The clan leader scolded, "If the Zhou family makes a big mistake and is not punished, if all the Lin clan members in our clan follow suit in the future, wouldn't it mean that there would be no restraints, so how can I convince the public?"

After all, it was his mother. Lin Feng really couldn't bear it. "Chief, besides this method, is there no other way?"

Lin Runkun glanced at Jiang Ruanxi, who nodded slightly towards him.
