Chapter 215 Ancestral Hall
Chapter 215 ·The Hall
Tang had an idea in his mind, so he no longer had the panic he had before. She walked calmly, with a strange look of calmness. It seemed that she was not going to the ancestral hall, but going out to visit relatives on weekdays.
The mother, who was leading the way, couldn't help but curiosity in her heart, and looked back from time to time, both shocked and surprised, and seemed to have never expected that the gentle and weak Tang had such a side.
She immediately put away her underestimation and her eyes whirled rapidly.
The Bai family lived in Shanghai and the family was revived. The ancestral hall was naturally far more grand than that of small families. The ancestral hall was remote in a courtyard, with elderly and elderly servants on duty here, offering incense and cleaning the courtyard every day, and doing things very hard. The ancestral hall was named Huiyi Hall, which was a three-entry courtyard. The ancestral hall enshrined the tablets of the family ancestors, and only men could enter and exit on weekdays. Women could only come to bid farewell to their ancestors when they married into the Bai family and recognize their ancestors or when they got married.
Several wing rooms were built on both sides of the west, some placed things, some placed servants, and another was where men talked and discussed things on weekdays. The largest wing room on the east was the place where the family discussed affairs. The decoration was exquisite and antique, and there was a serious and heavy atmosphere everywhere. At this moment, the wing room was full of people. In addition to the eldest wife who had to take care of her sick son, the second and third bedrooms had arrived long ago. And everyone knew what was going on, and they were waiting quietly with their own thoughts.
Old Master Bai sat on the chair in front of him, his face was unfathomable and he could not see any joy or anger. Old Mrs. Min on the other side was even more calm, and she clearly didn't care about anything, looking like she was not caring about anything.
The most anxious person in the crowd is the eldest wife. She has a good relationship with Tang and walks diligently on weekdays. The outer three rooms have always been afraid of the inner room, especially in recent years, the three rooms have withered talents. The outer three rooms not only have Bai Yuan, who has a good reputation, but also a person like Bai Yuanheng who is silent and silent. Therefore, Old Master Bai is close to the people of the outer three rooms on the surface, but in fact he suppresses checks and balances, and means are endless. The outer three rooms have become more and more difficult in recent years, so the eldest wife first walked with Tang to have the opportunity to say a few words in front of Bai Yuanpei. However, after getting along with Tang a few times, the eldest wife immediately fell in love with Tang, who was soft and weak and scheming. The little use of the past disappeared without a trace, and she sincerely treated her as a sister-in-law.
Otherwise, with Bai Yuanpei's intelligence, how could she get in touch with her wife?
The eldest lady was standing near the door and looking nervously. When she saw a figure coming from afar, she immediately stepped out to meet her.
Seeing his wife's appearance, Bai Yuanze shook his head helplessly.
Tang saw that the eldest wife came over from afar and was extremely grateful. At this moment, she was like a rat crossing the street, afraid that no one would be willing to disturb her, for fear of being covered in mud. Unexpectedly, the eldest wife was as enthusiastic and cheerful as before, and did not mind her stigma at all. She quickly ran to Tang and looked around her, and saw that although Tang looked good, she had lost a whole circle.
The eldest lady was so distressed that her eyes were red, "Have you eaten the bird's nest I gave you? Why are you so thin? No matter what happens, you have to remember that you are still pregnant with a child in your stomach. No matter how uncomfortable you feel, you can't forget him, otherwise how can he bear it?"
Tang nodded, "I've been much better these days and can barely eat. Don't worry, I will stick with it and there will be no trouble."
The eldest wife smiled with satisfaction, and while the mother was leading the way, she whispered in Tang's ear, "Have you thought about a way out?"
Neither asked about the cause and effect nor the development of the situation. It seemed that the only thing I was concerned about was what Down would do later.
"This kind of thing happened. No matter what the purpose is, I will never be able to live in the Bai family anymore. I am going to go back to my parents' home." Tang did not hide his mind with Mrs. Ze and told her plans truthfully.
The eldest wife did not have a look of surprise at all, but instead breathed a sigh of relief, "You and Yuanze thought of going together. We received the news from this end last night. Yuanze said that if the ancestral hall was opened today, things would be concluded. He also said that your best way out is the Tang family, but I don't know if you can think of this level, and I asked me to find an opportunity to persuade you. Since you have thought it through, I won't say much. Take a step back and the vast sky. As long as you can raise Brother Zhi, when he becomes an adult, you will naturally return to the Bai family to inherit the family business of the third bedroom. Then you can come back openly, and bear the momentum and report it later."
While they were talking, the two had already walked to the gate of the east wing room, and the eldest lady personally helped Tang into it. As a servant, Wu Ma could only wait at the door, but she couldn't worry about Tang, and supported her ears and listened hard to what she said.
The eldest wife of the eldest wife did not come. Bai Yuande of the second wife and Cai of the second wife were whispering to discuss something. When they saw Tang coming in, one of them had indifferent expressions and the other had contempt, and they only glanced at Tang and avoided their sight. Bai Yuanheng, the head of the second wife of the outside three rooms, has always been taciturn. His wife Chang is not a good deal of dealing with him. He was so nervous that he lowered his head and fiddled with the handkerchief in his hand. He didn't dare to look up at Tang at all. Bai Yuanheng's younger brother Bai Yuanming had not yet got married, and sat on the right side of his brother, and was in a state of ignorance. Bai Yuanyou, the third wife, was in poor health and sickly face, looked very ugly. His wife Cui was a person with no opinion. He only cared for her husband, served tea and poured water, and had no intention of caring for anything else.
Bai Yuanze, who was the eldest wife of the third wife, exchanged eyes with Mrs. Ze. After receiving Mrs. Ze's nod, he was obviously relieved. When he looked at Tang again, there was a little more praise in his eyes. Bai Yuanze had two younger brothers below. The eldest brother Bai Yuanhong was already married, and his wife Feng was pregnant. It was just when he was vomiting. Because everyone knew what the ancestral hall was about today, Bai Yuanhong felt that it was not a glorious good thing, so he did not let Feng follow her and let her stay at home to take care of her baby. The younger brother Bai Yuanzhize had not yet gotten married, and he sat at the back and stared at Tang.
Tang stood quietly in the center, looking at Old Master Bai without any hesitation, waiting for him to speak up.
After a while, Old Master Bai spoke calmly, "I believe everyone knows that something unlucky happened at home, and that people, evidence and physical evidence are there, so they cannot be denied. I interrogated it carefully and called Tang to confront her. She couldn't say a word. Today I invited everyone to discuss what to do with Tang..."
Before he finished speaking, the eldest lady rushed to say dissatisfaction, "Old Master, that's not what he said. Everyone can see what kind of character Tang is. Even if he was beaten to death, I don't believe that she would do such shameless things. There must be some grievances here. If you can't believe others' words, you will convict her. Even if you don't care about her reputation, you should consider Brother Zhi and the children in her belly."
Old Master Bai has never been snatched up like this. He suddenly looked unhappy, and glared at Mrs. Ze as if covered with frost, and then said to Bai Yuanze, "Whose rules is this? Before the elders finished speaking, she started yelling first? What kind of circumstance will it be? Yuanze, you are busy with what you are doing on weekdays, and you don't know how to take care of it. Be careful that a fire in the backyard will cause the home."
Bai Yuanze was named and stood up reluctantly, "What my uncle taught me is that when I look back, I will take time to talk to her. She is straight, and I can't hide anything in my heart. But..." He changed his mind and helped Tang's speech. "There have been a lot of news these days. We sent people to ask them, but we were blocked by the people in the gatehouse. We heard all the things from others, but we were afraid that they would spread rumors and exaggerate them. What is the matter? We have to ask our uncle to explain it clearly. The Bai family has been in a century and has never happened such a thing. As descendants, we are extremely unfilial. How can we shame the family? But we have to find out the truth. Otherwise, if we wrongly accuse the good people, wouldn't we let the evil people laugh secretly?"
When he said the last few words, his eyes fell lightly on the second wife Bai Yuande.
Bai Yuande was so uncomfortable that he saw him that he avoided the whole body and felt guilty.
