She smiled and said, "These old guys are just throwing tantrums. I guess they are taking the opportunity to take revenge for the trouble I made when I was a child. It's just a small show of power. It won't amount to anything."

"Besides, Xie Lanzhi has not done anything to let me down. He saved my life and my child's life. I have no reason to give up on him like this."

The Sixth Uncle was so angry that he covered his chest and couldn't utter a word, while Qin's father looked heartbroken.

“Ah Shu! The ancestors have shown their spirits, and the vision is right before our eyes, why are you so persistent!?”

When Xie Lanzhi saw Qin Shu confronting his father-in-law, he quickly pulled Qin Shu's sleeve.

"Ah Shu, forget it."

Without waiting for Qin Shu's response, he stood up first.

In fact, it is not necessary to be included in the Qin family tree, nor is it necessary to live a hundred years.

If the price of obtaining the secret of longevity is to part ways with Qin Shu, he would rather not have it.

Qin Shu shook off Xie Lanzhi's hand and glared at him angrily with her charming eyes.

"Forget it! I don't agree!"

"Even if the king of heaven comes today, don't try to stop me!"

She raised her head and glanced at the elders of the Qin family, and said in a tone that did not allow for debate: "I have made up my mind, and the ancestor worship will continue!"

"Don't try to persuade me anymore. The Qin family has three chances to perform the ancestral worship ceremony. If it fails three times, then I have nothing to say!"

The Sixth Uncle glanced at Xie Lan and suddenly asked Qin Shu: "You said that he has not done anything to let you down or to harm the Qin family, but what about in the future? What if he does something in the future?"

Qin Shu's gentle, harmless and lazy face revealed a sinister and cold sneer.

"If that day ever comes, I will take his life myself!"

Although she said she wanted to kill Xie Lanzhi, she held his hand very tightly, and her fingertips gently scratched the man's palm.

Soothing and flirtatious little gestures.

It was quickly conveyed to Xie Lanzhi, who had a clear mind.

Being protected by Qin Shu like this, Xie Lanzhi's suppressed unexpected emotions were quickly dispersed.

"Okay!" Sixth Uncle compromised and shouted, "The ancestor worship ceremony continues!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Lanzhi had no choice but to kneel down again.

This time, he knelt somewhat casually.

Sixth Uncle ordered the people around him to straighten the ancestral tablets on the shrine.

A few minutes later.

The sixth uncle shouted, "The ceremony of worshipping the ancestors has begun! Perform the ceremony of kneeling three times and knocking your head nine times!"

Because Qin Shu was pregnant, she couldn't bend over much, so she leaned forward slightly and nodded as a sign of kowtow.

When he came to Xie Lanzhi's side, he was also ready to lean forward and nod like Qin Shu.

“Boom——!”

"Crack! Boom!!!"

The rumbling thunder, which had just subsided, suddenly came again, just above the roof.

The thunder was so loud that it almost deafened everyone.

“Crash!”

The row of tablets in the middle of the shrine, which had just been straightened, fell down again.

——This time, there is still only Grandpa Qin’s tablet.

"..." Qin Shu was speechless and turned her head away subconsciously.

The corners of her lips twitched as she looked at Xie Lanzhi. There was no doubt in her eyes, just a strange look, as if she was looking at something rare.

Xie Lanzhi himself became speechless.

The thunder didn't come earlier or later, but just when he was offering sacrifices to his ancestors. It was very weird!

Perhaps this time, everyone in the Qin family was prepared. They did not have the obvious hostility towards Xie Lanzhi as before, but the way they looked at him became more distant.

Amuti and Langye, the two young men guarding the door, had expressions of shock and horror on their faces.

Especially for Lang Ye, who grew up in the countryside and was taught stories about ghosts and gods by his elders.

He tightly grasped Amuti's arm and asked in a trembling voice, "Do you think the ancestors of the Qin family are watching our Brother Lan in there?"
