The rain is getting heavier.
Heavy rain was falling.
The huge Jingcheng seemed to be submerged.
Xiao Yi stood outside the ancestral temple, his dark eyes looking into the main hall through the hollow carvings on the wooden door.
If Ji Yuqi commits a crime, he must be punished.
However, when he saw Cui Zhen not only take out the "command order" of the chief steward, but also gave an order directly to the high priest to take out the black wooden box engraved with the Pei family's teng diagram from under the altar, Xiao Yi realized that the situation tonight was far more serious and difficult than he had imagined.
His dark eyes moved around the black wooden box several times before he took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket and turned around to walk quickly out of the ancestral hall.
Xiao Yi dialed a number.
However, within two seconds, the power-off tone came from the receiver.
Xiao Yi suddenly became a little angry.
He opened WeChat.
His fingers were sensitive and he kept poking and pressing on the phone screen.
【Not coming back yet?! 】
[Your phone is still off?! Pei Yucheng, what the hell are you doing?!]
[No one has ever dared to pinch you, a hard persimmon, but now, those people are all squeezing your wife to death.]
[Please invite all the clan whips out.]
[Ji Yuqi will definitely receive a beating tonight.]
[But, that's a 'needle whip'. Cui Zhen is truly despicable enough to use Ji Yuqi to madly test you...]
…
"Although Chenyuan has been separated from Peidi, Peidi's grandmother violated the clan rules today. It is not convenient for us in Chenyuan to interfere in the punishment. However, after all, Chenyuan and Peidi share the same ancestors. If Peidi really does not want to offend our ancestors, as the first head of Chenyuan, I don't mind inviting our ancestors back to Chenyuan for worship."
"..." Pei Huaijin's veins throbbed at his temples after hearing Pei Jiqing's words. So, this was Pei Jiqing's plan. He was trying to get the relatives who had currying favor with the Chenyuan Courtyard to argue and push back, refusing to budge. Was he trying to move all the ancestral tablets to the Chenyuan Courtyard?!
Pei Huaijin went to extremes.
He threw the teacup in front of Pei Quyan directly in front of Pei Jiqing.
The main hall, which was originally noisy, suddenly became silent.
Deathly quiet.
"Mr. Pei is willing to agree, but can the Court of Imperial Court bear and suppress this blessing?!" Pei Huaijin's eyes were like torches, and his voice was cold and cruel.
Pei Jiqing glanced at the teacup that had fallen and shattered into pieces before him. He immediately became furious, slammed the table hard, and stood up from the wooden chair. He roared in anger, "Even your brother doesn't dare to be so presumptuous in front of me! Who the hell do you think you are!!!"
"Pei Huaijin, you're simply rebellious."
"As a direct descendant of the Pei family, you are too unruly."
The heads of the two clans who were trying to please Pei Jiqing immediately jumped out to criticize him.
Pei Huaijin was about to say something, but Pei Quyan, who had been sitting silently on the main seat, suddenly said coldly, "Brother, are you threatening me with our ancestors?!"
Pei Jiqing pursed his lips. "I dare not. I just want to make it clear to my second brother: All the ancient families of Jingcheng are present. They have offended the clan spirits, but no one has explained. This has a very bad impact. How can the Pei family gain a foothold in Jingcheng in the future?!"
Pei Quyan's brows darkened after hearing Pei Jiqing's words: "You traitor, are you worthy enough to talk about the Pei family's survival in front of me?!"
Inner Temple.
Ji Yuqi knelt in front of the Pei family's ancestral tablet with his back straight.
"Mom~!" The quarrel outside was so loud that it frightened Ji Niancheng beside her and made him tremble all over.
Ji Yuqi quickly hugged him and comforted him in a low voice.
