Chapter 793 Do you want to be his concubine?
On the other side, Sun Weimeng was always paying attention to the developments in the ancestral hall.
Seeing that the Zhong family was preparing to burn incense, he remembered Master Zhong's instructions to distribute what he had at the most critical moment.
This move!
Only success is allowed, no failure!
Otherwise, he would not be able to get back the 10 million yuan he bet if he wins.
If he wasn't afraid that too much money bet would affect the odds, he would never have bet only 10 million. He would have to raise at least 100 million to make the other party lose everything!
As the descendants of this generation, Zhong Lingxiao and Zhong Yi have already burned incense.
Finally, the female relatives.
Zhao Shuyuan glanced at Lin Xifei who was standing next to her. How ridiculous!
A mistress's mother, elevated by her son, even entered the Zhong family's ancestral hall. This had never happened before; it was all Zhong Lingxiao's fault. This child might be Zhong Lingxiao's last, a precious treasure.
The child in Lin Xifei's belly might be the most precious illegitimate son or daughter in the entire imperial capital.
Only one child!
Who dares to neglect!
So it was reasonable for Lin Xifei to enter the Zhong family ancestral hall.
Zhao Shuyuan no longer felt aggrieved. Zhong Lingxiao's repeated actions had already made her disheartened.
She is still looking forward to a turning point!
I hope Zhongyi can make a comeback today.
But there has been no movement so far. Zhao Shuyuan feels that the future is dark. Is her life going to be ruined in the Zhong family?
"Madam, your fragrance is good."
The housekeeper handed her the incense.
Zhao Shuyuan said thank you and then knelt respectfully on the mat.
She silently prayed to herself, if the Zhong family's ancestors had any spirit, they would not have allowed Zhong Lingxiao, a two-faced hypocrite, to sit in the position of power. She also wanted to divorce him and be a free person.
Zhao Shuyuan kowtowed three times.
Lin Xifei stood aside, her heart pounding.
She couldn't help but stroke her belly, which was the child of her and Ayao. Zhong Shao had said that once this matter was over, he would give them money to leave the imperial capital.
By then, the three of them will live a good life and no longer have to stay in fear by Zhong Lingxiao's side.
But... with so many people here today, she was really a little panicked.
If something goes wrong, there will be no recovery!
"Ms. Lin."
"Ms. Lin?"
"Hey!" Lin Xifei was startled absentmindedly, her face a little pale.
The housekeeper reminded: "It's your turn to burn incense."
"Oh, okay."
Lin Xifei took the lit incense, but the falling ash burned her.
She screamed and almost dropped the incense in her hand. The old man glanced at her with dissatisfaction. There was a chill in his indifference, which made people feel uneasy.
"Xifei."
Zhong Lingxiao said somewhat unhappily, "You're usually a very steady person, why are you so reckless today? You're making such a fuss just over burning incense? Don't disturb the ancestors of the Zhong family."
"I...my stomach felt a little uncomfortable just now."
"abdomen!"
Zhong Lingxiao became nervous, "Why do you feel uncomfortable?"
"It's not the child. It might be that the food I ate last night was not to my liking and I'm feeling a little uncomfortable. I'll be fine after a while, don't worry." Lin Xifei explained to Zhong Lingxiao in a low voice.
Zhong Lingxiao was relieved and said to the old man, "Don't blame her. Pregnancy is hard."
Old Master Zhong remained silent, his expression indifferent: "Pray well, and if you don't want to, just leave. She's not from our Zhong family anyway."
"She is carrying my child, and this child needs to offer incense to our ancestors."
Zhong Lingxiao wanted this child to be recognized by everyone before he was born.
He urged Lin Xifei to kneel down and kowtow to the ancestors and burn incense.
Lin Xifei stammered and said yes.
"Big brother."
Zhong Yi stood aside and shouted, "Is she worthy enough to worship the ancestors of the Zhong family?"
Here we come!
The trouble started.
Some people in the crowd were full of fighting spirit and entered into battle mode!
Just wait for the right time.
Zhong Lingxiao looked at Zhong Yi with disdain as he made his final struggle. What Zhong Yi said was simply a joke.
"Brother, she's carrying my child. She doesn't deserve it, but the flesh and blood of the Zhong family deserve it!"
Zhong Yi seemed a little unreasonable, "Oh? Then big brother, are you sure that the baby in her belly is yours? Have you done a paternity test?"
"Zhong Yi, are you confused? If I wasn't sure whether the baby in her belly was my child, do you think I would bring her to worship our ancestors?" Zhong Lingxiao really didn't expect Zhong Yi to be so stupid.
Making trouble in the ancestral hall, isn't that just making the old man unhappy?
Zhong Yi spread his hands and said, "You have no evidence, so you rely on trust? In that case, let her worship. But if our ancestors get angry, it's none of my business."
"You don't have to worry about that."
Zhong Lingxiao handed three incense sticks to Lin Xifei and asked her to kneel down and kowtow to burn the incense.
Lin Xifei knelt tremblingly, muttering to herself, "Don't blame me, Zhong family ancestors. I'm just a pawn being manipulated. None of this was my original intention."
She is full of piety!
Even more pious than Zhong Lingxiao.
Zhong Lingxiao nodded with satisfaction, and Zhong Yi, who was standing beside him, had a mocking look in his eyes.
The coffin lid of the Zhong family’s ancestor is about to burst.
A sneer appeared at the corner of his lips and he was about to speak.
But someone got there first.
Lu Yingxue stood in front of the crowd and advised, "Ayi, I know you've suffered a lot of setbacks recently and are in a bad mood. But today is an important day, and the old man's health is not good, so please don't cause trouble. Since the major general brought Miss Lin here, it must have been confirmed."
She only dared to speak like this because Lu Bannong had passed away early due to poor health.
She didn't believe that Lin Xifei had the courage to confuse the Zhong family's bloodline.
Zhong Lingxiao is at the top of the pyramid for these women who want to climb up the social ladder. Why would Lin Xifei betray Zhong Lingxiao?
Isn't she afraid of death?
If the baby in her belly wasn't Zhong Lingxiao's, Zhong Lingxiao would have killed her.
Lu Yingxue showed a hint of disappointment. "Ayi, you've really changed a lot. I almost don't recognize you anymore... Although we are no longer engaged, I hope you can live your own life well and not be jealous of your elder brother."
Zhong Yi really didn't expect Lu Yingxue to speak at this time. He originally planned to deal with Zhong Lingxiao first.
Who knew that there were still people seeking death?
Zhong Yi glanced into the crowd and caught sight of Sun Weimeng's sparkling eyes.
Ready to go!
He laughed and said, "Lu Yingxue, who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak in the Zhong Family Ancestral Hall?"
Lu Yingxue's face flushed. She didn't expect Zhong Yi to lose his composure.
"Zhong Yi!" Zhong Lingxiao scolded coldly, "Miss Lu is a distinguished guest of our Zhong family. She has been taking care of the old man's health for many years. What's wrong with her saying a few words here?"
"Brother, why are you so protective of her? Do you want her to be your third concubine?"
“I like it!”
Lu Yingxue's words were cold and stern. "Are you trying to humiliate me? I didn't expect you to be like this! You actually slandered a woman's reputation so casually. I've already said I'll never marry, how could you say such dirty things about me!"
Lu Yingxue has a very good reputation in the imperial capital recently!
Zhong Yi's two sentences just now also angered many onlookers, and they all felt sorry for Lu Yingxue.
"Second Young Master of the Zhong Family, please be careful with your words! Miss Lu is the president of the Chinese Medicine Association and the pride of our imperial capital!"
"Yes! How do you talk like that!"
"Isn't it just that Miss Lu dumped you? Although you are the young master of the Zhong family, after all, you are not legitimate."
"The Zhong family is going to hand over all the family business to the eldest son. How shameless of them to bully a woman!"
The ancestral hall was noisy, with sharp questions and curses hurled at Zhong Yi.
Zhong Yi looked at Lu Yingxue and sneered.
"Are you really as noble-minded as they say you are?"
He wanted to see how much Lu Yingxue would embarrass him later.
