At Leng Jue's wedding, Ling Yun drank a lot of wine, which was rare for him.

After drinking it, it was rare that he still remembered the ancestors of the Ling family.

Let Ling Feng and the others guard outside Leng Jue's yard and throw out anyone who wants to cause trouble in the bridal chamber.

Anyone who delays the birth of her nephew is her enemy.

After instructing his secret guards, Ling Yun dragged Shen Qingdai and staggered to the Ling family ancestral hall.

The candles in the ancestral hall are lit.

Because it was so lively today, Leng Jue came to burn incense early in the morning.

The offerings above are arranged in the same way as the banquet in the front hall.

It was placed right in the middle of the ancestral hall, filling up the entire table.

Ling Yun took Shen Qingdai and stood in front of the ancestral hall.

He looked up at the sign of the General’s Mansion.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked even more drunk.

His eyes then fell on the banquet table.

He shook and pulled Shen Qingdai in. "Qingqing, do you think they can know that Big Brother is getting married?"

"Sure!" Shen Qingdai followed quietly beside her, letting most of the man's weight rest on her shoulders.

After finally helping her to stand steadily, Ling Yun pinched her wrist.

He leaned over and just sat on the chair.

The man leaned sideways in the chair, looking up at the tablets.

Suddenly he raised his hand and pointed at the one in the middle.

"Qingqing, look, look at him!"

She suddenly spoke. Shen Qingdai, who was standing beside her, looked up.

That is the ancestor of the Ling family.

The one who followed Emperor Shengzu all the way to conquer Dongling.

Ling Yun pulled her hand and rubbed it on his face, and felt the burning sensation on his face fade away.

Then he spoke in a daze.

"Ling Ji! My Ling family's ancestor."

"Back then, he entered the mountain alone, and with one man and one gun, he rescued the Holy Ancestor Emperor."

"He was later named the General Guarding the Nation, the leader of the five great generals. At the age of fifty-eight, he led his troops to the Northern Territory, where he died..."

She leaned back in her chair, held Shen Qingdai's hand, and recited the deeds of the Ling family's ancestors.

This is all recorded in history books, and Shen Qingdai has certainly read it.

She looked down at the obviously drunk man, raised her hand and gently patted Ling Yun on the shoulder, "I know!"

"Oh," Ling Yun lowered his head, took Shen Qingdai's hand and squeezed it gently.

Then he looked up at the tablet on the other side. "The one on the left, Ling Zhongshan..."

"At the age of 28, he inherited the General's Mansion. He fought dozens of battles in the Northern Territory and Southern Qi. Because the Ling family's achievements were so great that they frightened the emperor, he was escorted back to the capital several times, and then... he was given another mission in times of crisis."

"When I die..." Ling Yun paused, as if he was thinking.

Shen Qingdai sighed quietly, "She was 49 years old when she died. Since she inherited the general's mansion, she has been imprisoned seven times and led troops to war eight times. She was praised by the Southern Qi as the barrier of Dongling."

"Yes, it's him." Ling Yun raised his hand and pointed at the sign.

His fingers slid across the row of signs, and he muttered intermittently.

"This way, Ling Ye..."

"Further down, there are Ling Guang and Ling Wenyun who died in the battle at Hanguan Pass that year..."

"What a father and son!"

"Back then, Ling Guang wanted his son to study literature, but dying on the battlefield is the fate of the Ling family."

"You can't escape it even if you study literature."

Ling Yun looked at the tablets in the slightly lower row. Ling Wenyun, who was not even twenty years old at the time, had become the third place in the imperial examination in the palace.

I thought the Ling family could finally have a good ending.

However, Ling Guang suddenly died in the battle of Hangu Pass. As the only adult heir of the Ling family, Ling Wenyun, who had just gotten married, was ordered to lead the troops to the war.

He never came back after that.

When his newlywed wife received the news of his death, she hanged herself on the beam of her new home.

Ling Yun muttered to himself.

He recited the deeds of the people in the Ling family from beginning to end again.

He took Shen Qingdai's hand and rubbed it gently.

“When I was a kid, I knew all of them and everyone’s life story.”

"My Ling family has a booklet that I have memorized since I was a child."

"Uncle Zhong said that I must practice martial arts and military tactics well and not bring shame to the Ling family."

"I once thought that I would die in the Northern Territory and be buried in the Northern Territory..."

But she didn't expect that even if she was prepared to die in the Northern Territory, Fang Keji still wouldn't let her go.

So, she had to return to Kyoto.

For my mother, and also for the brand passed down from generation to generation in the Ling family.

On the day of Leng Jue's wedding, Ling Yun and Shen Qingdai sat in this ancestral hall for the whole night.

She ate some of the food on the table.

Even the wine on the table was not spared.

Drink one cup for yourself and spill another cup on the ground.

This went on repeatedly, and finally Jingqiu and Jingyu had to get a few more pots.

Shen Qingdai stayed quietly by her side.

Occasionally, I would echo and recite a few words.

Until Ling Yun took her hand and fell asleep on the table.

Shen Qingdai then slightly moved her stiff body.

The man stood in the ancestral hall and turned to look at the Ling family's tablet.

Dozens of members of the Ling family, except Ling Mei, almost all died in the Northern Territory.

Although she already knew it, she listened to Ling Yun reading out the stories of these people one by one.

Still deeply shocked.

It was not until the sky turned white that Ling Yun moved slightly.

He sat up dazedly and looked up at Shen Qingdai, who had obviously been standing all night.

He hugged the person in his arms with a slight apology.

After a long time, he spoke in a hoarse voice, "Prepare paper money."

The green smoke in the ancestral hall smells like paper ash.

The smell made Shen Qingdai cough lightly.

So Ling Yun paused while holding the paper money.

Kneeling there, he looked up at the tablet above.

"I don't know if you can hear it or not. If you can, then do what you need to do."

"The Ling family's reputation ends with me."

"I don't want to bear the glory of the Ling family anymore, and I don't want to go to the Northern Territory anymore."

"I won't come here to worship my ancestors often in the future, so... this is all, you guys should spend it sparingly."

She was mumbling to herself, and Shen Qingdai looked helpless.

Until he was pulled out by Ling Yun.

The man turned around and looked at the sign hanging outside the ancestral hall.

He waved to Jingqiu and Jingyu.

"I'll have someone pick them and send them to the kitchen for cooking."

After saying that, he felt something was wrong and pointed at a corner of the sign, "That was written by the ancestor himself. Take off those small words and throw them in the warehouse."

"From now on, you should think about asking people to clean up and send offerings..."

After giving some instructions, he turned around and left with Shen Qingdai.

"The Ling family is all sick. Generation after generation has been crushed by this sign, yet they are reluctant to throw it away."

She raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, then turned her head to look at Shen Qingdai who was equally tired.

"Let's just eat and wait for death in Songlinyuan from now on."

"Cui Xiang's money will be delivered every month."

"Brother can't just watch us starve to death."

"Your Majesty is also very generous..."

She discussed with Shen Qingdai seriously.

Shen Qingdai smiled and shook her hand back until their fingers were intertwined.

Then he smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll trouble the princess to take care of you in the future."

"Then Madam will have to work hard too." Ling Yun exerted a little force with his hands and pulled the person to his side.

In the stunned and puzzled look of Shen Qingdai, he added with a smile:

"For example... wait for the princess to go back and catch up on her sleep."
