Chapter 354 He Doesn’t Know Any of Them

At this time, the people in the ancestral hall courtyard did not notice him.

Jiang Mengqing gritted his teeth and lowered his voice as well: "What are you doing sneakily? Let me go in and take a look."

"It's the same if you listen here. Maybe they won't say anything if you go in." Jiang Shiyue wrapped the two people with her mental power. In order to prevent them from being heard by those in the ancestral hall, she deliberately lowered her voice.

Jiang Mengqing had never spoken to his daughter like this before. Apart from shouting and sarcasm, they hardly communicated with each other. Before this, Jiang Mengqing's eyes did not have the cowardly Jiang Shiyue, and the cowardly Jiang Shiyue never approached Jiang Mengqing.

So this father and daughter have never gotten along like this before.

Before Jiang Mengqing could object, the voices in the yard suddenly became louder, as if there was a quarrel.

Jiang Mengqing was stunned for a moment.

He didn't have time to care about the silly girl who scolded him. He looked towards the ancestral hall almost holding his breath.

"Sixth uncle, you are too kind. You should have dissolved their relationship after your eldest brother passed away. How could such an ungrateful beast be a member of our Jiang family? Moreover, he stole the heirloom. What right did he have?"

"Yes, we are too soft-hearted, so we are bullied by the bad guys. We can't just let this matter go. Now that Jiang Sheng is back, let's put an end to this matter once and for all."

Even though Sixth Grandpa had introduced these people to him and Jiang Shiyue, Jiang Mengqing didn't know any of them, let alone Jiang Shiyue.

He didn't know who was who.

"In that case, after Xiaoyu's wedding, we will open the ancestral hall to remove him from the family. From now on, he will no longer have any relationship with our Jiang family."

"It doesn't matter if it doesn't matter, but what about the heirloom? Do we just want to give it up?"

This was the voice of Fourth Aunt who had just gone to the village entrance to pick them up.

And they were very indignant. Someone else echoed, "Yes, this heirloom originally belonged to our Jiang family. It is not unique to Jiang Sheng and his lineage. Besides, it was lost from their hands, so of course they are responsible for getting it back."

"Mr. Jiang is very tired now. He and his daughter have been traveling all day. Let's talk about this after daybreak."

Sixth Grandpa was very authoritative here. He gave orders majestically while leaning on his cane. Then these people stopped arguing and prepared to leave the ancestral hall one after another.

Jiang Mengqing was startled. He was also confused and his mind was a mess. He didn't even know how to hide. Jiang Shiyue frowned, pulled Jiang Mengqing away, and stood in the shadow behind the big wall outside the ancestral hall.

Jiang Mengqing originally wanted to step forward and ask them, after all, there were too many things he didn't understand here. He now knew Jiang Chengming, who had been mentioned repeatedly. He was the adopted son of the Jiang family. He also stole the Jiang family heirloom and ran away. Until now, he has not been found, let alone the heirloom.

People in his hometown were ready to expel him from the Jiang family and take back the heirloom.

But no one told him which Jiang Chengming was.

Is it his father, or is there someone in this village with the same name as his father? Even without Jiang Shiyue's instructions, he didn't know how to ask.

Just as he hesitated, the sky suddenly brightened.

When Jiang Mengqing came to his senses, he was actually in the room. The surrounding environment looked unfamiliar, but there was no doubt that this was the room that Sixth Grandfather asked his grandson to prepare for him last night. Although it looked a little shabby, it was still very clean.

What's going on? How come he is here in the blink of an eye?

Could it be that last night was a dream? Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Sixth Grandpa's grandson called him out for breakfast. When he stood in the yard, Sixth Grandpa called him with his hands behind his back: "Jiang Sheng, come here, I want to talk to you."

Let’s just call him Jiang Sheng.

He was not allowed to argue.

Jiang Mengqing hesitated for a moment and walked over quickly. He instinctively looked around and found that Jiang Shiyue was not there. He didn't know why his heart sank. But then he heard Sixth Grandpa say, "You are busy with work and I can't disturb you all the time. But this matter is related to your father and you after all. Come with me."

Jiang Mengqing looked around again. He didn't want to follow Sixth Grandpa. Maybe he could have done so before, but after the scene changed in the blink of an eye, he didn't dare to do so anymore.

His heart was beating uncomfortably. He had been in poor health to begin with, and now it seemed as if he would fall down at the slightest gust of wind. However, Sixth Grandpa didn't seem to notice his condition, and continued to lead him to the study with his hands behind his back.

Although this is a mountain village, the villagers are very educated, especially Sixth Grandpa's home. There are calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls in the clean and tidy room, the four treasures of the study on the desk, and old books in old packaging on the bookcase against the wall.

After Jiang Mengqing entered the study, Sixth Grandpa closed the door and pointed at the chair in front of him and said seriously, "Sit down first. I'll get you something."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Jiang Mengqing finally found his voice this time, "Sixth Grandpa, I can just stand."

Sixth Grandpa didn't care whether he was standing or sitting, he walked to the north side of the study, opened a cabinet, and then took out a box from it.

This is a wooden box, rectangular in shape, black and gold in color, it seems to be sandalwood, and it has a faint fragrance when it is taken out.

Jiang Mengqing was also a knowledgeable person. He recognized it at a glance. This was a very old Longshan small red sandalwood, which is very valuable and rare nowadays.

This time Jiang Mengqing was even more shocked.

This small mountain village actually has such valuable things? Only then did he notice the furnishings in the house. Although they looked very simple, upon closer inspection, each one was worth a lot of money. Even the chair next to him that Sixth Grandpa asked him to sit on was made of yellow pear wood. The wood pattern shone with a beautiful luster. When the sun shone on it, it seemed as if water waves were flowing on it.

At this time, the rosewood box was placed in front of him. Sixth Grandpa took out a key and opened the lock on it with a click.

Such a strange sound made Jiang Mengqing's heart beat wildly.

He managed to remain calm.

Sixth Grandfather then opened the box, took out a stack of things from it and handed them to Jiang Mengqing: "Mr. Jiang, these are the certificates of your father's adoption of Jiang Chengming, as well as various materials issued at the time. Here is also the agreement between the two of them. If Jiang Chengming behaves ungratefully and betrays the Jiang family, he can be kicked out and his identity taken back."

Jiang Mengqing took it quickly. The papers were a bit old, but the handwriting on them was clear and was written with a brush.
