Chapter 168
Xiao Jinyue looked down at the celadon tea bowl that Gululu rolled in front of her, the smile in her eyes flashed away.Surprised in my heart, I didn't smash it. It seems that the quality of this bowl is not bad.

When she raised her head again, the smile in her eyes had disappeared, and she exclaimed instead, "Oh, Nanny Gong, although I am the crown princess, I am not a princess, so you don't have to pay such respects, you'd better get up quickly .”

Nanny Dong remained motionless, and fell to the ground in a big shape.It's not that she doesn't want to get up, but that she has fallen into a daze.She clearly carried the tray, and walked steadily, her feet didn't slip, her legs didn't tremble, and no one secretly tried to trip her up.

She was pretty sure there was nothing out of the ordinary.But she crossed the threshold and only took a few steps when she suddenly felt out of control.But before he could react, the whole person had already slammed and fell heavily in the direction of Shizi Concubine.

In the hall, when everyone heard Xiao Jinyue's words, they were speechless at her thick skin, but at the same time felt that today's facts were extremely weird.

The maid just served the Anshen tea twice, the first time she didn't fall down, but the tea bowl was smashed, and the second time it was even more strange, the medicine bowl burst suddenly under the watchful eyes of everyone.

If it is said that the first time it was because the servant girl shook her hand and smashed it, and the second time it was because the bowl was cracked and shattered, that would make sense.But Nanny Gong has been serving Mrs. Tai for most of her life, and she has always done things prudently. It seems that her body is very strong, and there is nothing wrong with her.

But just now, under the eyes of everyone, Madam Dong suddenly fell on a big horse.

Mrs. Tai looked at Nanny Dong who was lying on the ground unable to move, her face was so gloomy that she could drip ink, but she returned to normal in the blink of an eye, but there was a hint of suspicion in the eyes that looked at Nanny Gong.

The change in Mrs. Tai's expression did not escape Xiao Jinyue's eyes, but her heart was also full of suspicion.

Chang'an county lord frowned, and said in a soft voice, "Nurse Gong must be at the end of the year, and she was so tired after walking so far with Madam Tai, that's why she accidentally fell."

Glancing at Mrs. Tai whose expression had eased, Chang'an County Mistress turned her head to the maid behind her and said, "Hurry up and help Nanny Gong up."

"Yes, ma'am." The two maids saluted and walked quickly towards Nanny Gong.

"Ma'am, it's not good, it's not good..."

Outside the main hall, a rough woman ran over in a panic.

The face of Chang'an County Master sank, and he frowned and scolded the visitor, "Will you speak? Mrs. Tai is sitting here well, why are you shouting?"

The mother-in-law ignored her reprimand, but said to the Tai Furen who was sitting at the top with a pale face and trembling, "Tai Furen, the ancestral...the ancestral hall, go...the water is gone."

Madam Tai's complexion changed, and she stood up from her seat suddenly, "What did you say?"

The mother-in-law swallowed her saliva and said nervously, "The ancestral hall, the ancestral hall suddenly caught fire..."

This time, everyone heard her words clearly, but their expressions changed at the same time.

Everyone was muttering in their hearts, why did Mrs. Tai make the imperial concubine drink calming tea and accidents happened one after another, and now the ancestral hall suddenly caught fire for no reason.

Today's incident, no matter how you look at it, seems strange.

"Quick, go and see..."

Hearing that the ancestral hall was on fire, Mrs. Tai couldn't care less about letting Xiao Jinyue drink some calming tea, she held the maid's hand, walked out of Songhe Hall, and hurried towards the ancestral hall.

Seeing Mrs. Tai left, Chang'an county magistrate hurriedly followed with her maid.

The second lady and the third lady looked at each other, without hesitation, they also chased after her with the maidservant.

Flooding in the ancestral hall was a major event, and the girls looked worried, and took the waiters around them, and hurriedly ran over behind the ladies.

But in the blink of an eye, Hu Lala was completely gone in the huge main hall of Songhe Hall, leaving only Xiao Jinyue standing inside.

Looking around, the whole hall was quiet, and there was no sign of Chi Yan even on the beam.

Xiao Jinyue frowned, just now she was afraid of being discovered by Chi Yan, so she didn't dare to look on the beam, and she was too focused on observing Madam Tai's expression, not noticing when Chi Yan left.

It's fine, I don't know why the ancestral hall suddenly flooded.

Everyone was gone, Xiao Jinyue wanted to go back to Shi'an Garden, but after hesitating for a while, she turned around and walked towards the ancestral hall.

As the eldest concubine of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, if such a big event happened in the ancestral hall, it would be unreasonable for her not to go and have a look.

As soon as he walked out of Songhe Hall, he ran into Ginkgo and Fennel rushing over head-on.

It turned out that Bai Guo was waiting outside the main hall of Songhe Hall just now, and seeing the maid smashing the bowl twice, Mrs. Tai insisted on letting Xiao Jinyue drink a bowl of calming tea. Bai Guo felt a little strange, worried that something might happen to the girl, so he hurried back to Shi'an Garden, I want to call the son over.

Unexpectedly, she just walked halfway, and happened to meet Fen Xiang who was rushing towards Songhe Hall. After asking, she found out that Shizi had already rushed to the ancestral hall when he heard that the ancestral hall was on fire.

Fearing that something would happen to Xiao Jinyue, Bai Guo had no choice but to rush back to Songhe Hall with Fennel.

Arriving at the ancestral hall with two maids, Xiao Jinyue saw from a distance a group of maids, wives and servants in front of the ancestral hall, rushing to the ancestral hall with buckets in their hands.

The fire broke out in the side room of the ancestral hall. Under the command of Lu Chengting, the guards were methodically taking the bucket brought by the servant girl and pouring it on the burning place.

Lu Chengting was sitting on the stepper and directing people to put out the fire. Originally, he was in Shi'an Garden, and he hadn't seen Xiao Jinyue come back for a long time. He was worried about what happened to her. Now seeing her standing not far away, his hanging heart finally fell down. .

Xiao Jinyue looked at the place where the fire started, and felt strange. It is said that the ancestral hall has always been guarded by people, so it shouldn't be on fire, and what is burning is not the main hall where incense is offered, but the empty side room. No matter how you look at it, it feels a bit strange Strange.

Fortunately, there was no wind today, and the woman guarding the ancestral hall found out quite early. The screams attracted the guards in the mansion, and there were many servants who rushed over after hearing the news. With everyone's concerted efforts, the fire was put out in a short time up.

Mrs. Tai had a sullen face, she took a few steps forward while supporting the servant girl's hand, and asked angrily, "What's going on, it's all right, why did the ancestral hall suddenly catch fire?"

As soon as Mrs. Tai finished her words, no one expected that there was a sudden "crack" of thunder in the sky without warning.

Everyone was startled by this thunder.

Before he could react, the Second Master's angry shout suddenly came from behind.

"What's going on, why was the ancestral hall burned?"

Xiao Jinyue followed the crowd and turned their heads. The second and third masters, as well as several young masters in the mansion, were looking at the charred ancestral hall in horror and anger.

It turned out that they were not in the mansion when they went out early in the morning. On the way back, they saw a fire in the direction of Zhen Guogong's mansion from a distance. They were shocked and hurried back.

"Clap clap clap..."

As if responding to the second master's words, there was a sudden crackling sound in the ancestral hall.

Everyone turned their heads in unison again, and through the gate, everyone was shocked to find that the ancestral tablets that had been placed densely on the altar table were all falling forward in unison.

In front of the fallen memorial tablet, it was placed upright, which was really the Queen Mother's edict of bestowing marriage.
