Chapter 356: A Castle Made of Quicksand



Chapter 356: Like a Castle Made of Quicksand

The wedding was held as scheduled. According to the local custom, the wedding is held at night, so preparations began in the afternoon. The people in the village came out, about 40 people, and every household hung red lanterns. Xiaoyu's husband is from this village, a simple and honest young man. Xiaoyu is very pretty, with her hair all tied up and a red silk flower inserted in it. She wears a red double-breasted jacket and a red long skirt embroidered with a phoenix spreading its wings. Her bright eyes are shining with yearning for a new life.

By the time she put on the red veil, the auspicious time had already begun.

Jiang Shiyue brought the Dream Eater and started recording the video after the bride was carried out of the house. Jiang Shiyue was smiling, and the two children beside her were very interested in what she was holding.

It seemed like he didn't know what it was, and wanted to see it but didn't dare to, which was really heartbreaking.

Jiang Shiyue squatted down and let them watch the wedding scene recorded on the mobile phone.

The results will naturally be different if the same people see them differently.

The two children were very interested and followed Jiang Shiyue, that is, followed the sedan chair to Sister Xiaoyu's husband's home. It was not until they were sent to the bridal chamber that Jiang Shiyue turned off the video recording function of his mobile phone. After saving the video, he shook his arms. He didn't expect that using mental power to maintain all this would make him a little tired.

Sixth Grandpa came to see Jiang Mengqing again. It was night again. Jiang Mengqing looked at Sixth Grandpa with trembling hands. He instinctively went to look for Jiang Shiyue, but did not find any trace of the dead girl. Then, joyful laughter came from Xiaoyu's husband's house. It was obvious that Jiang Shiyue was there.

This damn girl, how can she be so bold! She is also very daring! At this moment, Jiang Mengqing felt that he could throw away his brain, because he couldn't figure it out. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. That damn girl didn't tell him, which made him anxious and turned in circles.

When Sixth Master came looking for him, he didn't dare to hide, because the terrifying appearance of Sixth Master flashed in his mind all the time.

Jiang Mengqing was terrified, but Sixth Grandpa didn't seem to notice anything. He patted his shoulder with a smile and sighed, "Alas, Xiaoyu is married in a blink of an eye. Time really doesn't spare anyone."

Jiang Mengqing nodded mechanically, "Yes, yes, the children have grown up."

"Jiang Sheng, we will open the ancestral hall tomorrow morning and remove Jiang Chengming from our family tree. However, there are two copies of this family tree now, one of which is in the hands of your third uncle. After Jiang Chengming's name is removed from his copy, this matter will be almost completely settled. He has our Jiang family's heirloom in his hands. Although it is not very valuable, it is something left by our ancestors and must not fall into his hands. After you go back this time, you must get this matter done. Do you hear me?"

At the end of the conversation, Sixth Grandpa's expression was no longer kind, but rather stern. Jiang Mengqing was so frightened that he did not dare to ask Jiang Chengming what was going on. He nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, Sixth Grandpa. I will definitely take care of this matter."

Hearing Jiang Mengqing's assurance, Sixth Grandpa nodded with satisfaction, then left with his hands behind his back.

Before Jiang Mengqing could go find Jiang Shiyue, in just a blink of an eye, he found himself standing in the ancestral hall, surrounded by people from the village. This time everyone came, almost everyone in the village was here. Next, he followed the instructions of Sixth Grandpa and the rules of the Jiang family and took out the family tree. The moment he got the family tree, Jiang Mengqing felt sad and heartbroken for some reason.

Such sadness and grief only occurred when the old man and the old lady were seriously ill, and when I learned that he did not inherit any property.

But now he was just holding an old booklet, and his tears fell uncontrollably. The people around him seemed to be very sad as well, and they all tried to comfort him.

He turned to the page belonging to Jiang Chengming.

The above relationship is clear.

Grandfather, Jiang Lidong.

The eldest son is Jiang Sheng, the second son is Jiang Chengming (adopted son), and the eldest son and grandson is Jiang Mengqing.

The second son and grandson is Jiang Hongxuan.

Below are the names of their wives and children.

Wife, Lu Wanqing.

The eldest son is Jiang Hansheng, and the eldest daughter is Jiang Shiyue (a twin boy and a girl).

Jiang Mengqing's face was pale, and his hands holding the family tree were shaking. Jiang Shiyue just watched quietly from the side without helping, but she controlled the whole situation with her mental power. At this moment, she finally knew what the letter and the people from Jiangjia Village, who were formed by mental power and willpower, were going to do.

Silently, Jiang Shiyue released his mental power and enveloped the mountain village that was condensed by mental power from the outside.

Everything remained the same. People around were talking and saying comforting words, while Sixth Grandpa handed the brush to Jiang Mengqing and crossed out Jiang Chengming's name, as well as his wife, son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren.

Every time a name was crossed out, Sixth Grandpa and the three old men next to him would press a special seal and handprint on it.

When everything was done, Jiang Mengqing was already sweating profusely and was on the verge of collapse.

The beads of sweat rolling down his forehead seemed to drip into his eyes, making his eyes feel hot. He could hardly see the scene in front of him clearly. He found that everything in front of him seemed like ripples, looking very close yet very far away, and then seemed to turn into old photos that appeared before his eyes one after another.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

He held the family tree tightly in his hand and couldn't help but roar in pain.

The next moment, the scene in front of me looked like a castle made of quicksand. A gust of wind blew over and all that was left was sand on the ground, and everything disappeared.

The three of them stood in front of the weeds at the entrance of the village. Old Lu was still carrying the suitcase, and Jiang Mengqing was still in a suit and tie, but he looked sad.

Only Jiang Shiyue had a calm expression, but she had a rosewood box in her hand, while Jiang Mengqing had a family tree and a seal engraved with complicated patterns in his hand.

Jiang Mengqing was shaking as he held the family tree in his hand. His eyes widened in shock again, and he looked at everything that was rapidly disappearing before his eyes in disbelief. What he had experienced in the past few days had repeatedly refreshed his three views, making his already chaotic life even more chaotic.

However, at this moment, his head seemed to be hit by something, making his confused mind clear up little by little.

His hunched back slowly straightened up. Although his face was still sallow, his cloudy eyes became a little clearer and his expression changed as well, as if he had become a different person in the blink of an eye.

Old Lu didn't notice this, and he didn't say anything or ask any questions, but his trembling legs revealed his true feelings at the moment -

Oh my god, what is going on?
