After being found by her wealthy family, Du Anrao unexpectedly awakened and discovered that the world she was in was a hot topic, genre-bending hodgepodge.
Her eldest brother was the '冤...
Chapter 416: Advise You to Be Kind
Even someone as calm as Xi Jingyue was stunned by Duanrao's unconventional words.
It took him a while to find his voice again: "You mean, all the graves on this mountain are emitting green smoke?"
"no."
Xi Jingyue breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say something when he heard Du Anrao add, "To be precise, except for the one in front of you that is emitting green smoke, the others are emitting black smoke."
"This..." Xi Jingyue almost couldn't breathe.
If green smoke came out of this ancestral grave, he could still barely comfort himself that it was a good thing, but if black smoke came out of this ancestral grave, then it could only be a sign of great misfortune.
"Then can you tell what these smokes are?"
"It seems to be... the resentment of your ancestors."
"resentment?"
"It's like the resentment of an ancestor who feels that his descendants have lost face and wants to lift the coffin lid and climb out to beat them up, but can't."
"..." This is even possible?!
Xi Jingyue's expression suddenly became a little subtle, and he instinctively turned to look at the relatives standing in front of several graves not far away.
Du Anrao noticed his gaze and looked over, then gave an awkward yet polite smile.
[The one on the left secretly opened a casino to gather people for gambling, the one next to him cheated on his brother and had an affair with a married woman, the third one evaded taxes, the fourth one lent money at high risk of loan sharking and nearly forced someone to death, the fifth one hit and ran and illegally dragged someone, causing disability...]
Xi Jingyue felt numb when he heard what was happening behind him. No wonder the elders in the clan broke their incense sticks as soon as they touched them. With such a group of lawless descendants, the ancestors must have wanted to crawl out from the ground and take them all away to prevent them from ruining their reputation after death.
[Oh, that guy over there is even more outrageous. He actually cooperated with Boss Jia, the lawless lunatic who almost killed my eldest brother, to resell banned drugs. They should be punished. They should be punished more severely than the last one! Fortunately, cousin Bi Xiao is not here today. Otherwise, she would have caught a bunch of them and we wouldn’t have to worry about our sales for the year.
Otherwise, Mr. Xi, you should take your grandfather, parents, and a few aunts and leave the family tree overnight, otherwise you will be dragged down by these distant relatives sooner or later. This is not a family with a criminal law on its head, but a family growing on a criminal law! 】
Xi Jingyue felt dizzy and couldn't help but want to breathe oxygen. Destruction, really!
No matter how upset you are, you still have to clean up the mess.
Du Anrao has already given her answer, but these words are obviously not suitable to be said openly. Embarrassing these people is a small matter, but the fear is that if the things they have done are made known, there is no guarantee that they will not be frightened to the point of desperation, and take risks to kill people to silence them by relying on their numbers?
Xi Jingyue didn't dare to gamble and couldn't gamble! After sorting out his mood, someone started his performance.
"Don't get me wrong, An An means that the smoke from these incense sticks is not right. It is probably related to today's weather. The strong wind affects the burning of these incense sticks and also affects today's sacrifice. Anyway, things have already come to this, and the wind is indeed a bit strong today.
Otherwise, let's stop today's sacrifice for now, and let's all apologize to our ancestors and explain the situation. The uncles can go back and find someone else to calculate a date, and then we can come together to complete the sacrifice ceremony. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"
Xi Jingyue's words were a way to give everyone a way out. If these people were smart, they would take advantage of the situation and let the matter go.
Helpless, someone just has to show off his presence today.
"Cousin, what you said is not right. We are all expecting Master Du to make a final decision, but why is it you who have to come out to explain after all this time? Or do you have full authority to represent Master Du, and what you are saying now is what Master Du wants to say? You are a family, unlike us. No wonder only your family has no problem with the incense for ancestor worship today, while everyone else's has problems."
Xi Yanqi's words were almost like pointing at Xi Jingyue's nose and saying that he and Duan Rao were in cahoots, and that today's so-called incense and candle problems were all their secret tricks, in order to elevate themselves through such superstitious tricks.
Several young men who were following Xi Yanqi immediately agreed, "Yanqi is right. How could it be such a coincidence? As soon as you brought this master here, the ancestor worship ceremony went wrong. You must give us an explanation for this."
"That's right. There were no problems with ancestor worship in previous years. Why did something go wrong this year? I don't believe it's because our ancestors are restless in the afterlife. Our ancestors were restless earlier and later, but it's because this woman came that we are restless now. If it's not her problem, then whose problem is it?"
"I've told you long ago that it's inappropriate to have an outsider join in the fun during our ancestral worship, but you just didn't believe it. Now, the ancestors are angry and have caused such a big mistake. Now tell me what to do?"
It was quite expected to hear everyone collectively putting the blame on Duanrao.
These people did not blindly believe Xi Yanqi's not-so-clever provocation, they were simply guilty of a crime.
They know what they have done better than anyone else, and they are worried that they may be the culprit for the current predicament. In order to avoid being exposed, they can only seize this opportunity and pass on the blame.
Xi Jingyue: “…” I advise you not to be ungrateful at a time like this, just keep your tail down and keep your mouth shut, otherwise if you get into trouble later, don’t blame me for not stopping you.
Du Anrao had roughly guessed Xi Jingyue's intention when he heard him talking about this and that, pushing the problem of Xiang onto Feng.
I had been planning to cooperate and save some face for everyone, but I didn't expect that some people would be so shameless!
"The truth is indeed not as simple as Mr. Xi said. The smoke I mentioned is actually the resentment of the ancestors of all of you present here. The so-called resentment is the negative emotions such as resentment, anger, and anger after a person dies."
Xi Yanqi sneered, not without mockery: "You mean our ancestors have negative feelings towards us, the younger generations? They don't like us? What a joke, they are our ancestors, they love and like us so much, how could they not like us? You are clearly spreading rumors."
"That's right. If you can't produce evidence, you're just spreading rumors! Great grandfather, this person was brought by your family, but now he's saying something like this. What's going on? Are you trying to tell everyone that the ancestors only like your family, and that we are not liked by the ancestors except your family? You're so arrogant, aren't you afraid of being choked to death?"
Du Anrao's words obviously touched the sore spots of many people present, so much so that they became angry and embarrassed, and began to make random accusations, and they even wanted to attack Xi Jingyue's family together.
Du Anrao was so angry that he laughed and rolled up his sleeves.
[Oh, my temper is so bad. It's not your fault that I'm not good at it, but it's definitely your fault that I'm not good at it and I love to play. Since you said that, I have to have a good talk with you guys! ]
