The lord's stunning concubine

Chapter 81 Who is tempted (1)

In this era, the ancestral temple is the most holy place among the clan. Originally, women were not allowed to enter, but Lan Qingqing is the head of the Lan Mansion, so she can make an exception to enter.

The patriarch and the elders of the Lan clan all went in. Lan Qingqing's eyes darkened, but she also walked in slowly.

As soon as she entered, the gate of the ancestral temple was slammed shut, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

The patriarch's stern voice came: "Lan Qingqing, the 120th and eighth-generation descendant of the Lan surname, knelt down!"

The ancestral temple is full of ancestral tablets of the Lan family. At this time, incense is lit inside, and the air is full of the smell of joss sticks.

The patriarch's voice is very majestic, combined with the atmosphere here, it feels a bit cold.

It was not the first time for Lan Qingqing to come here. During the Chinese New Year last year and the year before last, she represented all the people in the Lan Mansion to come here to offer incense, but the gate of the ancestral temple was open before, and the candles were not burning so brightly.

She didn't listen to the patriarch's words and knelt down at the position of the chief priest, but went directly to the ancestor's tablet of Lan Mansion and knelt down, saying: "The head of the Lan Mansion, Lan Qingqing, respectfully invites the ancestors of the Lan Mansion to leave the ancestral temple. Qing has found another site to build the ancestral hall, respectfully invite the ancestors to move."

What she said directly ignored the patriarch.

The face of the patriarch suddenly became extremely ugly, and other elders in the clan shouted: "Lan Qingqing, the patriarch is talking to you, but you pretend to be deaf and dumb, ignoring the clan affiliation, how can you be so disrespectful!"

Lan Qingqing got up slowly, and said calmly: "The elders don't know something. I made a bet with the patriarch before that as long as someone came to propose marriage yesterday, the Lan family will move out from the Lan family and will not be under the control of the clan. At this time, I Calling him patriarch is not because he is still the patriarch of our Lan Mansion, but because he is already old, and I don't want to embarrass him too much."

She glanced at other people and said: "Since yesterday, you are no longer my clansmen to me, but ordinary elders. As ordinary elders, I think I have enough respect for you." gone."

The patriarch said angrily: "Lan Qingqing, you are so rebellious that you can even say such a thing!"

Lan Qingqing's eyes slanted, but the family member said again: "Before you moved the ancestral tablet out of the ancestral temple here, you were still a member of the Lan family!"

Lan Qingqing has seen too many shameless people over the years, and the patriarch is definitely the leader among them. She smiled lightly and said: "It seems that the patriarch has regretted the previous bet, so I want to ask the patriarch, How do you agree to move the Lan Mansion out of the Lan Clan?"

"At the beginning of the establishment of the clan, the ancestors handed down the rules. If the Lan family members want to betray the clan members and separate, they must donate to build a road and build a bridge to offset their sins." The patriarch said loudly: "As long as If you do this, you will be separated from the Lan clan immediately."

He was a little proud after saying this, and the other elders also nodded in agreement.

Lan Qing smiled and said, "It costs about 5 taels to build a road, and 5 taels to build a bridge. Does the patriarch want me to spend 10 taels of silver?"

10 taels of silver is not a small amount. It is not difficult for Lan Mansion to spend 10 taels of silver in business for many years, but there is no way for her to give such a large amount of silver to this group of greedy white-eyed wolves.
