Chapter 597: Preventing Yun Mo from Entering the Family Tree



The Shao family's ancestral hall was built in the north corner of the Shao family compound and is a separate courtyard.

As they got closer to the ancestral hall, they met more and more people along the way, including men, women, young and old. They all greeted Mrs. Shao and looked at Yun Mo curiously.

"This is Momo, Momo, this is your third uncle, this is your second cousin..."

Mrs. Shao introduced Yunmo to everyone one by one, and Yunmo also obediently called everyone one by one.

Most of the people outside the clan did not know Yun Mo's identity, so some people inevitably asked out of curiosity. Mrs. Shao simply responded with "You'll know soon."

For a wealthy family like the Shao family, the ancestral hall has gone through more than a dozen dynasties, and its grandeur and solemnity cannot be simply described in words.

The main gate is an imitation archway-style gatehouse, with four pillars, three doors and five floors.

The middle door is about 4-5 meters high and 3 meters wide. The left and right side doors are slightly lower, about 3 meters high and about 1 meter wide.

The eaves of each gatehouse are carved with patterns of dragons playing with pearls, flowers, birds, beasts, auspicious clouds, etc.

Hanging below the middle door are the words "Shao Family Ancestral Hall" in bold and vigorous cursive script.

"Momo, Mom, you're here."

Yun Mo was looking up at the plaque of the ancestral hall in fascination when Shao Lin came over from somewhere, smiling and wanted to take Yun Mo to meet the clan elders.

The interior of the ancestral hall is very large, with three entrances and five bays, and the overall depth is about 50 meters.

But such a large ancestral hall was now packed with Shao family members, which was enough to show how large the Shao family was.

Shao Lin brought Yun Mo all the way to the lobby, where more than twenty gray-haired elderly people, both men and women, were sitting.

There were so many uncles, aunts, and great-aunts. Not to mention recognizing them one by one, even calling them one by one would make people dizzy.

At 9:30, everyone gathered in the memorial hall.

Because there were too many people, some people could only stand in the open space outside the hall.

As the head of the family and the initiator of this family meeting, Shao Lin was the first to step forward and speak.

Perhaps to facilitate speeches, the ancestral hall is equipped with professional conference microphones and speakers to ensure that everyone can hear the speeches clearly.

"I called everyone here today because I have two things to announce. Although I have never married, everyone in the Shao family should know that I had an illegitimate child outside. His name is Shao Yian and he is 19 years old this year.

But what I want to tell you is that Shao Yian is not my son. He has no blood relationship with me. This is the paternity test report that I asked an authoritative organization to do for me and Shao Yian. You elders can take a look at it. "

Wei Fu distributed the ten paternity test reports he had prepared one by one to the Shao family for them to read.

After most of the elders had read the appraisal report, Shao Lin continued, "This matter has a long story, so I'll make it short. Twenty years ago, Yuan Jia took advantage of me being drunk and colluded with others to deceive me, making me mistakenly believe that I had made an unforgivable mistake.

It was not until over a month ago that I found Momo and learned the truth of what happened. From beginning to end, Yuan Jia and I had no relationship, and the son she gave birth to was not mine.

From now on, no matter the Yuan family or Shao Yian, they have nothing to do with me. This is the first thing I want to talk about today."

Upon hearing this, there was a sudden commotion in the ancestral hall.

Shao Yian is not Shao Lin's biological son. The dignified head of the Shao family was played around by a woman and was cuckolded for twenty years. Any one of these is enough to shock everyone.

Shao Lin didn't care what others thought of him. When he decided to reveal the truth of that year at the family meeting, he had already prepared himself to be laughed at by the world.

Hearing this, the quiet ancestral hall was once again filled with noise.

"Daughter!? When did the head of the family have a daughter this old?"

Compared to those people in the clan, the people from the Shao family compound were relatively calm. After all, Shao Lin had already informed them about this matter. However, Shao Lin did not tell them that Shao Yian was actually an impostor.

Amidst everyone's various gazes, Yun Mo calmly walked to Shao Lin's side.

I didn't think so before, but after Shao Lin revealed Yun Mo's identity, the father and daughter looked somewhat alike when they stood together.

Shao Lin didn't say any more nonsense and directly took out the paternity test report between him and Yun Mo.

"This is the blood relationship test report that I found the most authoritative human genetics expert in the industry to personally prepare for Momo and me. It proves that Momo is 100% my biological daughter."

Given Shao Lin's status and position, it would be impossible for him to find a fake daughter to fool everyone, so everyone had no doubts about Yun Mo's identity.

"Master, I wonder who the eldest lady's biological mother is?"

An elder of the tribe raised everyone's doubts and curiosity.

A biological daughter couldn't have popped out from a crack in a rock like Monkey King did. She must have been born to Shao Lin by a woman.

Shao Lin is already so old, he should have started a family long ago. Now that he suddenly has such a big daughter, will he marry that woman as well?

If Shao Lin was an ordinary person, it wouldn't matter who he married, but Shao Lin was the one in charge of the Shao family, and his wife was the mistress of the Shao family. She should be a lady from a famous family like Madam Shao, who could support the reputation and status of the Shao family.

"Momo's mother is a woman I knew in the past. We were in love with each other at that time, so we had Momo. Time has passed, and she has her own life now. I don't want anyone to disturb her, and I don't plan to reveal her identity and origins."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Shao Lin had no plans to welcome that woman home.

They didn't want the Shao family to suddenly have a young lady and then a mistress of unknown origin.

"Master, congratulations on your reunion with your daughter. The eldest daughter looks smart and pretty. We have no objection if you take her in, but..."

The other party paused, then changed the subject, "The eldest daughter of the Shao family is not someone that anyone can be. She just came back to the Shao family, and I'm afraid she hasn't even figured out the rules of the Shao family yet. Unlike Shao Ya, who was born and raised in the Shao family, we all watched her grow up, and her performance over the years is obvious to all.

In my opinion, it is better to put the matter of the eldest lady being included in the family tree on hold. A woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent. The eldest lady must show us something so that the sisters below can be convinced."

"That's right. Shao Ya has been the eldest daughter of the Shao family for eighteen years. She has never made any mistakes in her words and deeds. She is considered a role model in the circle of noble ladies. What she protects is not only the reputation of her West Courtyard, but also the reputation of the Shao family. If it were someone else, not only would they protect the reputation of the Shao family, but they would also ruin it."

The Shao family has no rule that women cannot enter the ancestral hall, so several young ladies of the Shao family are present today, including Shao Ya.

Yun Mo, who was standing in the front, recognized the other person at a glance.

It’s not that the other person’s appearance and temperament are so stunning, but when the elder said this, the eyes of the people around him all turned to Shao Ya, so it was hard for Yun Mo not to recognize her.

While Yun Mo was looking at Shao Ya, Shao Ya was also looking at her, and their eyes collided in mid-air.

After a moment, Yun Mo withdrew her gaze indifferently.
