Xiao Cunyu treated him like one of his own servants, without any courtesy at all. In front of Mr. Cheng, the housekeeper and several servants did not dare to object and climbed up carefully one by one.
After lifting up bricks and tiles, several people came down carrying things.
"Master, there is indeed something under the tiles, please take a look..."
The butler handed over an object, which turned out to be an old arrowhead, covered in rust.
"This is an ancestral hall. Putting this thing on the roof will be detrimental to future generations. However... this thing is badly rusted, and it is just an ordinary conical arrow, the most common arrowhead. It has little lethality and cannot cause such serious consequences." Xiao Cunyu took a look at the arrowhead, and then asked the housekeeper to put the thing away.
If this thing was replaced with an armor-piercing arrow or an arrowhead with barbs and blood grooves, or even stained with blood, then the evil spirit would be even more powerful!
Old Master Cheng looked serious and had already ordered people to arrest the servant who had repaired the roof that day.
He didn't completely believe that such things could cause his grandson to become sick, but placing these on the roof of the ancestral hall was disrespectful to his ancestors and was unforgivable!
Old Master Cheng remained silent and led Xiao Cunyu in again.
There are quite a few tablets, placed in order and according to seniority.
But Xiao Cunyu still saw the problem at a glance.
"The tablet in your house has been moved by someone else, and you didn't notice it?" Xiao Cunyu asked.
Old Master Cheng was startled and looked carefully...
There is no problem with the tablets that are close, but the tablets that are higher up don't follow the rules of left-right arrangement at all, it's a mess!
"This is simply ridiculous! Who was cleaning the ancestral hall recently that dared to mess around so recklessly?!" Old Master Cheng was very angry.
The placement of the tablets also depends on seniority. Two of them were upside down, and one was hidden behind the statue and had a crack!
The Cheng Family Ancestral Hall also has a statue of the God of War enshrined at the top. This statue represents "loyalty, righteousness, bravery, benevolence, wisdom and trustworthiness". Many families enshrine it, so there should be no problem, but...
The statue of the deity should be placed above the ancestral tablet, but the tablet that was hidden...
Not only is it cracked, it's also placed too high. How can it be harmless?
Xiao Cunyu pointed at the weapon held by the statue of the God of War and said to Old Man Cheng jokingly, "You should come and see it more often. As the head of the family, how can you not personally serve your ancestors more often? Look at this spear head, it's stained with blood. If this continues, something terrible will happen."
After Xiao Cunyu finished speaking, he walked around the ancestral hall again without looking at Old Man Cheng.
After walking around and finding no problems, he lifted the cloth on the table and looked at the place directly below the tablet, which was not exposed to sunlight.
"There are two mice underneath... Old man, are you going to give this to your ancestors to eat? If it were me, I would be angry too." Xiao Cunyu was speechless.
I have never seen such a shabby ancestral hall.
Of course, it may seem like there is no problem on the surface, but underneath, if you are not careful when cleaning, it is easy to knock the tablet over, so you should rarely touch it.
That is why filth and dirt are hidden.
Mr. Cheng's expression was no longer just ugly.
Not only was his shortcomings exposed in front of Xiao Cunyu, a junior, but... the ancestral hall was also so...
The butler has already knelt.
He quickly crawled over to take a look at the situation below, and found that there were no rotten offerings inside. He said quickly: "Master, this rat... I'm afraid it was thrown in there intentionally..."
"Who cleans the ancestral hall on weekdays?" The old man was very angry.
