Grandpa Wu touched his chin and muttered: "You are sincere."
Seeing that there was a door open, Shi Yuyan's eyes brightened slightly: "Did you agree?"
"Promise what?"
"Promise to let me be punished on their behalf, promise to let me see them."
"I didn't agree to this."
Shi Yuyan was anxious: "What I said is sincere. This matter is indeed my fault and I should be responsible. Tao Wan is weak and cannot bear the punishment. Whether you will accept the matter between me and her is another matter." , can this punishment be"
"Since you are so sincere, I will give you a chance."
"what chance?"
"According to the clan rules, if Tao Wan secretly had a relationship with someone outside the clan and became pregnant with a child, he should kneel in the ancestral hall, undergo water torture, and be tied to the central pillar to demonstrate for three days."
Shi Yuyan's expression changed slightly. Not to mention kneeling in the ancestral hall, Shuixing's understatement made him jump with fear.
Seeing that winter was approaching, the weather was getting colder day by day. Tao Wan had just given birth not long ago, and she could not bear to be soaked in ice water, let alone being tied up outside to demonstrate in the wind and rain for three days.
"Have you already punished her? How is she doing now? Can you let me see her now?"
"Not yet. We are just locking them up now and not harming them, but after that, it won't necessarily be the case."
Since it was related to his son, Wu Yan originally planned to wait for Wu Chi to come back and then discuss with him how to handle the matter.
What happened back then was that the Wu family was sorry for the Tao family. If something like this happened now, they would not be able to bear it if they really punished Tao Wan as Grandpa Wu just said.
But this matter has to be explained to the clan members eventually, and it has to be left alone. Wu Yan also has a headache.
However, what they didn¡¯t expect was that their son did come back, and by the way, he also brought back the culprit who caused this predicament.
"The opportunity I give you is that you kneel in the ancestral hall for her all night, just tonight. As long as you behave well, I will make an exception and let you two meet."
Shi Yuyan¡¯s eyes lit up and he immediately realized what he was doing, frowning and saying, ¡°How can I be considered a good performer?¡±
¡°Don¡¯t cheat or play tricks, be dignified and sincere, and kneel down all the time.¡±
Shi Yuyan pursed his lips and looked at the people: "What do you think?"
"What can we think about it? The person is yours, and the heart is yours. Whether you see it or not is not yours to decide."
Seeing that there were not many people to rely on, Shi Yuyan knew he was going to take the lead alone, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I accept it."
Grandpa Wu achieved his goal and pointed a young man out: "Xiao An, send him to the ancestral hall."
"Yes." The young man named Xiaoan is the one who just came and reported the news. He is seventeen or eighteen years old, with a slim build and a small round face with a smile, which is easy to make people like him.
"follow me."
Shi Yuyan took a deep breath and followed Xiao An.
After taking two steps forward, he seemed to think of something, turned his head and glanced at Ye Wanxi and others, but finally did not dare to call Ye Wanxi and Feng Tianyu.
The little Taoist priest was not familiar with him, so Shi Yuyan had the final say, and this was the only one he could rely on.
¡°Brother, won¡¯t you go with me?¡±
Shi Lang had just been very angry at his brother's argument about barging in, and he was still angry now. When he heard his question, he said angrily without thinking, "Why should I go? When you two sleep together and fly together, you are tired of being a crooked light bulb. I¡¯d rather kneel down to their ancestors with you.¡±
Shi Yuyan choked and muttered in a low voice: "There's no need to kneel down, just stand on the side and look at me."
¡°After all, it is someone else¡¯s ancestral hall. If there is some powerful ancestor, or there are some snakes, insects, rats, and ants hidden inside, the eldest brother can at least share some of the burden and feel safe.
"That's a good idea." Shi Lang saw through his brother's little thoughts at a glance, he was angry and funny, "Thank you for the invitation, get out."
"¡¡oh."
Shi Yuyan followed Xiao An dejectedly.
Grandpa Wu then turned his attention to Ye Wanxi and the others: "This must be the first time for you to come back to us, right? Since you're all here, let's stay a few more days. It's already late today, so you guys will We¡¯ll just stay here for one night. Is there anything else we can talk about tomorrow?¡±
Ye Wanxi's eyes were slightly stern. It was obviously a very exclusive place, but she arranged accommodation for them and asked them to stay for a few more days. However, something seemed wrong.
" Helpless, Shi Yuyan is here, and Tao Wan and his grandson are also here. They really won't be able to leave for a while.
¡°Then I¡¯ll trouble you all.¡±
"No trouble or hassle"??. A Chi, take them to find a place to stay for one night. "
Wu Chi received the mission unexpectedly. He was silent for a moment, nodded and led Ye Wanxi and others inside.
The current population in the village is not large, and there are many empty houses. The Wu family is the leader of the clan, so the houses built are naturally larger than those of others.
Their family alone has several empty houses, which is more than enough for Ye Wanxi and others to deal with emergencies.
Wu Chi led Ye Wanxi and others to the guest room, then asked his aunt at home to help look after them, and then left.
As soon as he left, Ye Wanxi's face darkened: "What do you think about this?"
"Weird, weird everywhere."
Ye Wanxi nodded, touched her chin and said: "Obviously, they are very repulsive to outsiders. Even marriage is dead, and unions with outsiders are not allowed. Why are they suddenly so kind to outsiders like us? I always feel that they are I have other plans."
"Um."
Ye Wanxi pursed her lips, feeling slightly troubled: "But I didn't feel any obvious malice from those old men just now. What on earth do they want to do?"
"Don't think about problems that are too distressing. We have already entered, and the others will know sooner or later."
Ye Wanxi nodded, feeling that what Feng Tianyu said made sense.
Before the other party reveals their true purpose, there is no point in guessing.
"Miss Ye, my brother"
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I'm just worried that those people might dislike him and deliberately let bugs bite him while he was kneeling in the ancestral hall."
"Don't die first when the time comes when you can't even get married. What an injustice!"
"That's okay. Doesn't he still have the insect repellent pills with him? Bugs shouldn't be able to get close to him."
Shi Lang was stunned for a moment, then remembered the existence of the pills, slapped his forehead and said, "That's good." After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
The little Taoist priest was arranged to share a room with him. When he saw him leaving, he followed him: "Aren't you worried about your brother?"
"There are deworming pills, don't worry."
"But what if someone doesn't like him and takes this opportunity to beat him? After all, we are on someone else's territory now, and it is more dangerous to fall behind."
"That's okay, that kid is very wild, so he may not be beaten. Even if he is, as long as we still have the breath, we can use the excuse to demand compensation, and then let them compensate his younger siblings to him. Well, this is really a good idea, I¡¯m too witty.¡±
The little Taoist priest: "" Why do you talk about Pengci so confidently? And using your younger brother to catch younger siblings, this operation is really not ordinary! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
