Kong Xinlin had only thought about it briefly; he was not yet certain, nor dared to be certain.
He didn't dare tell his mother about bullying Ye Zhongnan and his sister, and you can imagine how bad his mother's temper was.
Even though he was already married and had children, he would still beat his mother if she angered him.
Madam Wei was very worried. Through constant self-reflection, she realized that she had not done anything immoral or unethical.
She raised her son single-handedly and believed in her parenting abilities.
Never mind, there's only one way now.
Madam Wei grabbed Kong Xinlin and said, "Son, the reason I sent you back to the residence was so that if we, mother and son, couldn't find the root of the problem, we could ask our ancestors for help."
Kong Xinlin is resistant to the idea of talking about this. When he was a child, he was ignorant and secretly sneaked into the ancestral hall to steal the offerings. His mother beat him severely, leaving him with a psychological scar.
Kong Xinlin would not enter the ancestral hall unless absolutely necessary to do so on a few days each year.
But Kong Xinlin couldn't resist his mother's insistence and was forcibly taken into the ancestral hall.
"Kneel down quickly and sincerely beg our ancestors to protect us and help us through this difficult time," Madam Wei said sternly.
Kong Xinlin felt a chill run down his spine and knelt down shakily, listening to his mother repeatedly praying for the blessings of their ancestors.
He was afraid because he kept picturing his mother beating him with a stick for stealing a piece of fruit.
Therefore, he did not sincerely ask his ancestors for blessings at all.
"Our ancestors have long since passed away, what good are they to protect him?" Kong Xinlin thought to himself, when suddenly a strange thought occurred to him.
The rows of wooden signs on the table began to shake violently.
"Oh no, oh no, the matriarch is angry!" Madam Wei exclaimed.
"Mom, run! There's an earthquake!" Kong Xinlin's first reaction was to help his mother escape.
"What kind of shock is this, you unfilial son!"
An old man with a white beard, leaning on a cane, came out from behind the table, raised his cane high, and knocked it down on Kong Xinlin.
The mother and son were stunned for a long time before the mother finally reacted, saying, "Grandpa, you've arrived."
Kong Xinlin was petrified by the blow, but his mother slapped him awake, saying, "Why aren't you paying your respects to your great-grandfather?"
Grandfather? What grandfather? My goodness! I knew you couldn't just walk into this ancestral hall.
Kong Xinlin finally realized that the ancestral tablet shaking earlier had angered the ancestors, who then sent their great-grandfather to appear and manifest his power.
He was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and kowtowed. As a highly educated person, he had never believed in metaphysics, but at this moment, he had no choice but to believe, so he was sweating profusely.
"Great...Great-Grandpa, why did you come up here?"
His great-grandfather smacked him again with a stick, "You bastard, how dare you ask? It's all because you offended someone you shouldn't have."
"I didn't, I'm not." Even at this point, Kong Xinlin still insisted on his innocence.
"You troublemaker, you've even angered your father's father to the point of vomiting, and you still won't admit it?"
"Do you think you can afford to offend Princess Xi? You've repeatedly slandered her brother; do you want the entire Kong family wiped out?"
