Chapter 021

Lin Haixiao's eyes were as thick as ink, looking deeply at Xin Shiyu, as if she was confirming, and then turned to look at Mrs. Lin, "Grandma, she is ignorant, has you been angry?"

When Mrs. Lin saw her eldest grandson coming back, she showed a happy smile on her face, but when she heard Lin Haixiao ask about Xin Shiyu, she was unhappy again and said bluntly: "Haixiao, this girl is not suitable for your wife."

After saying this, Mrs. Lin turned her head to look at Xin Qing beside her, with unconcealed like in her eyes.

"Grandma, Shiyu is still young and will inevitably make mistakes. It is not good for her to make you angry. Let her kneel to the ancestral hall!" Lin Haixiao's tone was humble, but she had an undeniable majesty.

There was silence around.

Anyone can hear that Lin Haixiao was punishing Xin Shiyu to kneel on the ancestral hall on the surface, but in fact he changed his direction to protect Xin Shiyu.

Mrs. Lin didn't want to have a quarrel with her beloved grandson because of Xin Shiyu, but she didn't want to let Xin Shiyu go easily. She glanced at Xin Shiyu and said coldly: "Xin Shiyu was too presumptuous and punished her to kneel for one night in the ancestral hall."

One night!!!

Xin Shiyu grinned secretly and looked at Lin Haixiao. Lin Haixiao nodded slightly to her and signaled her to agree.

"Thank you grandma for being generous to me." Xin Shiyu gave a greeting to the old lady, got up and followed Sister Qing. When she passed by Lin Haixiao, she secretly stuck out her tongue and whispered: "Thank you!"

Lin Haixiao really had the urge to pull Xin Shiyu over and beat her up. He punished her kneeling in the ancestral hall with a light punishment.

Xin Shiyu followed Sister Qing to the Lin family’s ancestral hall.

The old man from the Lin family was from the south. He joined the army at a young age and fought south and made great achievements. Later, he settled in the imperial capital. Because he was too far away from his hometown, he built a ancestral hall in the Lin family mansion.

The ancestral hall is very beautifully built. The outside looks like carved beams and painted roads, which are antique and magnificent inside, and are exquisitely carved.

However, no matter how beautiful the ancestral hall is, it is a place where the dead tablets are enshrined, and there is a gloomy and cold inside and outside.

The huge ancestral hall was quiet, and the spirit signs of the Lin family's ancestors stood on the high tables, with flowers and abundant tributes on it.

Xin Shiyu was looking around curiously, and suddenly a scolding came from behind, "Kneel down!"

When she turned around, she saw Sister Qing next to the old lady standing behind her with a gloomy face.

Sister Qing next to the old lady is naturally very important in this family, equivalent to Mama Rong next to the queen!

Xin Shiyu didn't dare to offend this person, so she knelt on the cushion obediently.

"The old lady said, without your supper, you must keep kneeling here until tomorrow morning." Sister Qing said domineeringly.

"Yeah, I understand." Xin Shiyu nodded obediently in order to avoid being sloppy.

Sister Qing glanced at Xin Shiyu and ordered the maid at the door, "Sister Zhao, watch her here, don't let her walk or move around."

"Yes." Sister Zhao agreed.

Xin Shiyu knelt for a while, and her legs were numb. She turned her head and looked at the door quietly, and saw that the maid standing at the door was about 40 years old, with kind eyes.

She bowed to Sister Zhao with a smile. Sister Zhao looked at her and smiled slightly. Xin Shiyu sat on the cushion and rubbed her aching knees.

Sister Zhao is a kind person. She watched Xin Shiyu sit lazily and doesn't say anything.

When Sister Qing came to inspect, Sister Zhao would cough gently to remind Xin Shiyu. Xin Shiyu immediately knelt down in a proper manner and recovered from her guilty look.

When there was no one in the afternoon, Sister Zhao secretly brought some water and food to Xin Shiyu.

"Sister, you are so good, thank you!" Xin Shiyu took the water first and drank it gurglingly.

"Mrs. Young Madam, don't call me sister, you'll kill me!" Sister Zhao said uneasy, then turned around and whispered: "Mrs. Young Madam, you can find a way to ask for love with the old lady or Mr. Lin. Don't kneel here at night. This ancestral hall will be haunted at night!"

"Haunted?" Xin Shiyu was surprised and funny. She didn't believe there were ghosts in this world.

Sister Zhao said to Xin Shiyu nervously: "It's really haunted. Mr. Lin's third wife was also punished to kneel through the ancestral hall. The haunted here scared her crazy at night and committed suicide if she had any mental problems."

"Oh." Xin Shiyu nodded, still a little skeptical about what Sister Zhao said. She could not let Sister Zhao down and explained to Sister Zhao: "Sister, thank you, you can see that the old lady and Mr. Lin don't like me very much, and it's useless for me to plead with me."

Sister Zhao looked at Xin Shiyu with compassion and went outside to guard.

Xin Shiyu knelt in the ancestral hall, until the sun sets, until the night is dark, until it is thirsty and hungry, and as the darkness descends, the ancestral hall begins to become terrifying.

Just when Xin Shiyu was in need of company, Sister Qing called Sister Zhao away, closed the heavy gate of the ancestral hall, and left Xin Shiyu alone in the empty and gloomy ancestral hall.

The branches outside swayed, clattering, and the wind came in through the cracks in the door and the window frames, making a harsh stinging sound. In such an environment, all the sounds became particularly strange and gloomy.

The veil next to the table was blown by the wind, and there seemed to be unknown ghosts and monsters hidden behind it, revealing all kinds of ghosts and ominous auras.

Damn, these people are so bad. They are hungry during the day and want to scare her to death at night!

Xin Shiyu grew up in an orphanage since she was a child. When she was very young, she lived alone in a cold and dark room. She was a little brave, but this was the first time she stayed in such a terrifying ancestral hall late at night.

She thought about what Sister Zhao said, the ancestral hall would be haunted at night, and she became more and more scared and uneasy.

Xin Shiyu stopped kneeling and ran to a corner of the ancestral hall to squat, and took a mop casually, as if this could add a little sense of security to herself.

She leaned tightly against the wall, hoping that the sky would light up soon. At this moment, every minute and every second was torment for her.

At this moment, behind the tables where the ancestral hall was placed, a rustling sound was made, just like the movements in the ghost film, sometimes far and sometimes near, and from time to time, there was also a gloomy and strange smile.

Xin Shiyu was so scared that her scalp was about to burst out. There must be something behind the table. Could it be that there is a ghost here?

"Xin Shiyu...you give my husband back..."

"Xin Shiyu..."

A sharp and strange sound came, "Ah!" Xin Shiyu screamed in fear, staring at the direction of the sound with her big eyes.

"Pu...pu..."
