After being read, she became an empress by eating melons
Chapter 50: Nanrong’s family’s tomb was robbed!
System: [Seeing how much Tian Jun dotes on her, Cui Er starts to take advantage of her doting and becomes arrogant. She often goesssips in front of Tian Jun and tries to sow discord between him and Ye Hong. Under Cui Er's instigation, Tian Jun becomes more and more dissatisfied with Ye Hong and even starts to plan a divorce from her.
After Ye Hong heard the news, she was heartbroken. She knew that she could not win back her husband's heart, so she decided to leave this heartbreaking home. On a stormy night, Ye Hong quietly packed her luggage and left the home she once lived in.
Emperor Rentong: So pitiful, this Tian Jun is really a piece of shit.
Baiguan: I feel really sorry for this girl.
Tian Jun: This...
Nan Rongxi: [Finally, Ye Hong became obedient. We have to beat up this mistress anyway! What happened to the cousin and the dog later? ]
System: [The truth will eventually come out. Cui Er's identity was finally discovered by Tian Jun's mother. At that moment, the whole house seemed to be shrouded in a cold wind and there was a dead silence. Tian Jun's mother's face turned pale in an instant, her eyes widened, she pointed at Cui Er with a trembling finger, her voice trembling with disbelief: "You...you are actually a woman from Baihua Tower!"
Cui Er stood aside, her face pale. She lowered her head, not daring to look directly into the angry eyes of Tian Jun's mother. She knew that her identity had been exposed and she could no longer hide it. She looked up at Tian Jun's mother with a hint of pleading in her eyes: "I know I come from a bad family, but I really like Tian Jun. I will reform myself and be a good daughter-in-law."
However, Tian Jun's mother could not stand her son marrying a woman from Baihualou. She was so angry that she was shaking all over and her lips were trembling and she couldn't speak. Suddenly, she pounced on Cui'er and the two of them wrestled with each other. Tian Jun stood aside and wanted to step forward to dissuade them, but was pushed away by his mother.
She pulled Cui'er's hair and screamed. The scene was in chaos, with screams, crying, and roaring one after another.
Nan Rongxi almost laughed out loud after hearing this: [Tongzi, it would be great if you had a live broadcast function. This would look so cool! Hahaha... It's really satisfying! ]
Emperor Rentong: This ending is quite good!
Nan Rongjie: ...
Tian Jun: …
Nan Rongxi continued to ask: [Tongzi, what happened next? What happened after the fight? ]
System: [Look, the mistress was kicked out by Tian Jun’s mother and returned to Baihualou to start over, and Tian Jun became a single dog! ]
Nan Rongxi: [Hahaha… You deserve it! After eating a big melon, I feel like it’s time to get off work again. I can go home to eat and sleep! ]
Emperor Rentong: You don't need to do anything for this. Forget it. It's getting late. The officials are too distracted from work after eating melons...
Nan Rongjie: ...
Officials: It seems it’s time to adjourn the court!
Emperor Rentong waved his hand and said, "If you have nothing else to report, you can leave the court!"
The words of Emperor Rentong echoed in the air, immediately waking up the officials who were still immersed in eating melons and chatting.
The entire court seemed to heave a sigh of relief. All officials stood up, straightened their official uniforms, and prepared to leave. Nan Rongjie also slowly turned around, preparing to follow the crowd out of the court.
On the way out of the court, the officials were talking about something, some were talking about the melon they had just eaten, and some were talking about trivial matters in the court. Nan Rongjie listened to their conversation, but in his heart he was thinking that it was indeed Nan Rongxi's matter. He was really afraid that if he continued to talk like this, something big would happen one day.
This afternoon, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was not dry. After lunch, the Nanrong family prepared to go to the ancestral tomb to perform the annual ancestor worship ceremony.
The Nanrong family, young and old, all put on plain ancestor worship attire. These attire were mainly in light and elegant colors, which made them look solemn and family-like. They walked or took horse-drawn carriages through the bustling market and headed for the ancestral tombs on the outskirts of the city.
The ancestral tombs on the outskirts of the city are a quiet and solemn place. The ancient trees are towering, and the leaves sway gently in the breeze, as if telling the vicissitudes of time. There are many tombstones, each representing an ancestor of the Nanrong family. They lie here quietly, watching over the growth and reproduction of their descendants.
The Nanrong family gathered in front of the ancestral tomb and began the ancestral worship ceremony according to the seniority and family rules. They first washed their hands and burned incense, then knelt respectfully in front of the ancestor's tomb and kowtowed devoutly. They silently chanted words of blessing, praying that the ancestors would bless the family to prosper and their descendants to flourish.
As the incense rose, the Nanrong family members bowed and offered incense to the ancestor's tomb one by one. Everyone's face was full of piety and solemnity, which was a respect for the ancestors.
Nan Rongxi asked in a low voice: "Dad, our Nan Rong family's tomb is quite magnificent! Why do I remember that grandpa and his family were from a poor family? How did they build such a beautiful tomb!"
Nan Rongjie glanced at him and said, "A few generations ago, your great grandfather was a big landlord, very wealthy. Look, he built this magnificent ancestral tomb, and he was buried in the tomb below! As for the others, they were buried on both sides!"
Nan Rongxi nodded after hearing this.
After the ancestor worship ceremony, the Nanrong family members did not leave immediately. They sat around the ancestral tomb and shared family stories and interesting stories.
Suddenly, Nan Rongxi realized something was wrong.
"Dad, why are the blue bricks behind the ancestral tomb lifted up?"
As soon as Nan Rongxi finished speaking, the entire Nan Rong family looked as if they were struck by lightning, and their faces turned pale instantly. They gathered around and focused their eyes on the raised blue brick behind the ancestral tomb.
The originally flat ground now had an obvious gap, revealing the tomb chamber inside.
"This... this couldn't have been robbed!" said a family elder in a trembling voice, his eyes filled with fear and anxiety.
Nan Rongyu immediately became alert: "Recently, a tomb robber named Mojin Awei appeared around the capital. He has robbed many tombs. The government has been trying to catch him recently. Could it be that..."
"We need to check it carefully to find out!" Nan Rongjie said decisively. He turned to the young people around him and said, "Bring your tools and let's go down and take a look."
Nan Rongjie led a few young men and carefully pried open the bluestone bricks, revealing a dark entrance. Holding torches, they slowly walked down to the tomb. Nan Rongxi, as a member of the family, naturally did not miss the opportunity to join in the fun. He followed Nan Rongjie and entered the tomb together.
The tomb was cold and damp, and the air was filled with an indescribable smell. Nan Rongjie carefully observed the walls and the ground around him.
As they went deeper, they finally reached the main tomb chamber. However, the scene before them shocked everyone.
The coffin lid had been pried open, revealing a dark hole inside. Even more heartbreaking was the presence of a corpse lying next to the coffin. Judging from the clothes on his body, it should be their great grandfather. After all, it was so long ago that no one knew what their great grandfather looked like.
When everyone saw this scene, they were filled with indescribable grief and anger. They all knelt down, shouting, "Grandfather, your descendants are unfilial!"
Nan Rongxi on the side murmured quietly: "Grandpa has been gone for so many years, but his body has not decayed yet. It's amazing. Could it be that this is...!"
