Outside the ancestral hall gate.
A big one and a small one came slowly hand in hand.
They both wore the same purple cloak, which was very eye-catching and noble. It was obvious at first glance that they were mother and son!
Yang Zhao put on some makeup today and dressed more formally. She also wore a golden hairpin in her bun, with the golden tassels swaying at her temples. Her eyes and eyebrows were majestic, revealing the demeanor of a mistress.
Plus, she is already charming.
This sight makes one unable to take their eyes away.
Wei Yaer noticed Shen Li's reaction and turned her head back. She was stunned when she saw it.
A sense of crisis suddenly surged in my heart.
Especially when he saw Xuan Ge'er being held by Yang Zhao, he had a happy smile on his face.
Wei Yaer clenched her hands unconsciously.
"Husband."
Yang Zhao took Xuan Ge'er by the hand and stopped in front of Shen Li. He smiled gently and said to Xuan Ge'er, "Xuan Ge'er, come and call father."
Xuan Ge'er obediently called out in a baby voice, "Father!"
Shen Li came back to his senses, looking at the woman in front of him who was smiling softly and charmingly, his heart skipped a beat unconsciously, and the corners of his mouth rose, "Well, go in, the ancestor worship is about to begin."
"good."
Yang Zhao smiled.
But just as she reached the carved archway leading to the inner hall, Wei Yaer was stopped by the steward: "Let the servant push me in. You are not allowed to go any further."
Wei Yaer frowned; "Why?"
"According to the Shen family's rules, women who are not members of the clan are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard of the ancestral hall."
Most of the female members of the Shen family lived in the second corridor. When they worshipped their ancestors, they could only listen and follow the worship in the second corridor.
Wei Yaer subconsciously looked at Shen Li.
But Shen Li didn't say a word.
Wei Yaer bit her lip and wanted to say something unwillingly, but a maid came over and pulled her away.
Yang Zhao glanced casually, then looked at Xuan Ge'er beside him and said with a smile: "Xuan Ge'er, don't be afraid later. Just follow your brothers and it's okay if you make mistakes. Don't feel pressured."
Shen Li glanced at Yang Zhao.
Seeing her treat Xuan Ge'er like this, the corners of her mouth rose a little more, and she couldn't help but say to Xuan Ge'er: "Xuan Ge'er, remember what your mother said."
"yes."
Xuan Ge'er nodded obediently: "Father and Mother, I will remember it."
"Good boy, let's go."
Yang Zhao took Xuan Ge'er's hand and walked to Shen Li's wheelchair, deliberately walking side by side with him.
The back view of such a harmonious family of three hurt Wei Yaer's eyes.
When Xuan Ge'er stepped into the inner hall of the ancestral hall, he couldn't help but secretly look back in the direction where Wei Ya'er had just been dragged away. Then he saw Wei Ya'er squeezed in with the group of maids in the second corridor...
Wei Yaer said something to him silently.
Xuan Ge'er quickly retracted his head and held Yang Zhao's hand tightly.
Yang Zhao pulled the corner of his lip calmly.
Look, how easily this child is satisfied...
After entering the inner courtyard, the clan wives could only stand in the outer corridor, and only men were allowed to enter the main hall of the ancestral hall.
"Xuan'er!" Yang Zhao squatted down and gently straightened his clothes in front of everyone, saying softly, "Don't be afraid. Just remember what mother said. Mother will be waiting for you outside."
This scene attracted a lot of attention.
Among them were several boys who came in from outside. When they saw Xuan Ge'er and Yang Zhao, they paused slightly, and then thought of something, and a hint of hostility flashed between their brows.
Yang Zhao concealed his gaze and gave a few gentle instructions before letting Xuan Ge'er in.
The ancestral hall is very big.
The Shen family is a century-old family. There are many males who can enter the ancestral hall, and the direct descendants are at the front.
Xuan Ge'er naturally stood in the front position.
As expected, he became the target of public criticism as soon as he was assigned a position.
"Are you the stepson?"
"He's really well-fed. Look at his plump, white appearance. He's really pleasing to the eye."
"What's so pleasing about him? He's just as fat as a pig."
"That's exactly what you said. It really looks like a fat pig, exactly the same as the white pig we raised in the place of exile. Do you still remember that when the white pig was slaughtered, it tasted so delicious when cooked?" A boy about eight or nine years old said to his companions with a malicious smile.
These children were between seven and nine years old, and the older ones stood in the front.
Without exception, these children all have dark and thin skin, calloused hands, and are not much different from children in the countryside. The only difference is probably that they have all learned to write under the guidance of their parents.
But under the conditions of exile, they certainly could not be compared with the children raised by the Shen family in the past.
At this time they were full of wildness.
It is also full of malice.
It had been more than half a month since Xuan Ge'er was adopted, and this was the first time he clearly felt this kind of hostile treatment. He was a little panicked and scared at first.
But he soon thought of what his mother had told him, and the support of Yang Zhao's stepmother.
He subconsciously raised his chin slightly and said in a still childish voice: "I am the eldest son of the Shen family." Yes, he is the legitimate son of the Shen family, not a stepson.
He is of Shen family blood.
Sooner or later, he will be the head of the Shen family.
It's a pity that others don't know this. When they hear him showing off, they immediately dislike him even more.
But before they could say anything, the ancestor worship ceremony began.
Ancestor worship is a very complicated matter.
Xuan Ge'er remembered what Yang Zhao said, that he just had to follow what these clan brothers did.
