However, Ren Yaoting was not really injured. He just pretended to cry out in pain when the nanny reached out to press on him.
Nanny was a little disapproving, thinking that Seventh Sister was being too delicate, but when she went to reply, she still said with a pained look, "Madam, Seventh Sister just sprained her meridian bones and wasn't injured."
The eldest wife breathed a sigh of relief and said goodbye to Old Mrs. Han.
Mrs. Han said apologetically, "We apologize for not welcoming you well."
Shan'er, who had been guarding the gate of the courtyard, also ran over when she heard the news. When she saw Ren Yaoting, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Because she had been guarding the door the entire time, and hadn't seen anyone else come in or out except the Han family's grandparents, she believed that Ren Yaoting had fallen. Seeing Old Lady Han looking at her, Shan'er nodded imperceptibly.
Ren Yaoqi helped Ren Yaoting get on the carriage and said, "Seventh sister, I will ride in the same carriage with you so that I can take care of you halfway."
Ren Yaoting had recently developed a fondness for Ren Yaoqi, so naturally he wouldn't object. Ren Yaoqi asked the maid to tell Ren Yaohua. Ren Yaohua didn't have any problem.
So on the way back, Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaoting rode in the same car.
Ren Yaoting also had something to say to Ren Yaoqi, so he sent the maid beside him to sit outside.
When there were only two people left in the carriage, Ren Yaoting finally didn't have to pretend to be injured. He leaned back against the carriage in a relaxed manner.
"Seventh sister, you were able to enter that yard without being stopped by anyone before. Was it because the witch guarding the yard was burning incense in the backyard?" Ren Yaoqi poured Ren Yaoting a cup of warm tea and asked in a low voice.
Ren Yaoting picked up the cup and took a big sip before asking, "How did you know?"
Ren Yaoqi smiled and said thoughtfully: "I heard that there seemed to be some offerings in that courtyard..."
Ren Yaoting patted his chest with lingering fear: "So you knew it. If I had known that it was an ancestral hall where tablets were enshrined, I would not have gone in. It's so eerie and scary! How did you know? Did Sister You tell you? I asked her why she didn't tell me..."
Ignoring Ren Yaoting's jealous grumbling, Ren Yaoqi's heart raced.
Is it really an ancestral hall?
"Isn't the Han family's ancestral hall in Jizhou? How come there is an ancestral hall here?"
People at that time held ancestral tablets in high reverence and respect. When moving into a new house, they would invite monks and Taoist priests to perform a ritual to celebrate the ancestral tablets. This was also a way of informing the surrounding ghostly neighbors. The larger the family, the more ostentatious the ceremony would be.
Han Dongshan is a son-in-law. His father-in-law, Han Jianping, has only one daughter who cannot inherit the family line. Logically, his tablet should still be in the Han family ancestral hall in Jizhou. If he wants to invite it back, he must wait until his son Han Yunqian takes charge and asks the elders of the clan for permission and makes a grand arrangement before he can invite it back.
Therefore, the tablet that Han Jiaxin worshipped should not be the ancestor of the Han family.
"I was just startled and didn't pay attention at the time. Now I think it's a bit strange." Ren Yaoting tilted his head and thought for a while, "And those rows of tablets don't seem to be from the Han family."
"How many rows?" Ren Yaoqi was slightly stunned. "Do you have more than one tablet enshrined there?"
