Chapter 116 Shock
The moment Zhu Huaizhen stepped into the ancestral hall, he felt a strange atmosphere.
And in this strange atmosphere, there is a faint refreshing fragrance.
A refreshing fragrance that clears the mind and refreshes the brain.
The main ingredients of Qingxin incense are agarwood, asarum, Sichuan pepper, white peony root, camphor, saffron, white peony root, and cinnamon. Wash the agarwood and grind it into a coarse powder. Grind the Sichuan pepper, camphor, saffron, white peony root, and cinnamon into a fine powder. Add a small amount of coarse asarum powder to the fine powders of Sichuan pepper, camphor, saffron, white peony root, and cinnamon, and grind them into a finer powder. Then, add an appropriate amount of ground white peony root juice to form an incense cake. While still moist, press coarse agarwood powder on both sides, dry in the shade, and then roast and burn. For best results, burn this incense cake in the early morning while drinking tea.
Zhu Huaizhen was very curious about who needed to clear his mind.
"Kneel down!" The old lady knocked her emerald-inlaid rosewood phoenix-head cane three times and shouted.
After hearing this, Zhu Huaizhen pointed at himself and stood even straighter.
What a joke! Zhu Huaizhen would kneel to heaven, earth, and her parents, but not to the old witch.
"Look, this is not marrying a wife, this is marrying the ancestors! She doesn't respect the elders, doesn't sympathize with the servants, doesn't care about her husband, and doesn't treat her sisters well. Oh my God, what sin has our Dingguo Mansion committed..." The old lady suddenly burst into tears.
After hearing this, Zhu Huaizhen curled his lips and rolled his eyes.
Damn, what’s wrong with the old lady so early in the morning? Can’t she just talk properly?
After a while, Zhu Huaizhen discovered that Chen Mingan was kneeling quietly.
He lowered his head and remained motionless, like an ice sculpture.
"Chen Mingan, what's wrong?" Zhu Huaizhen asked quietly, feeling curious.
However, Chen Mingan ignored her.
Well, Chen Mingan’s pride was hurt last night.
Zhu Huaizhen touched his chin, not caring at all.
"Zhen'er, you were sleeping soundly and may not know what happened. Some people are so calculating that they have tarnished the innocence of my Ming'an, but are crying and making a fuss here." Princess Pingyang sneered.
After he finished speaking, Zhu Huaizhen was still confused.
However, Zhu Huaizhen discovered that today's seating arrangement was also unusual.
Duke Dingguo was actually sitting next to the old lady, while Princess Pingyang was sitting near Chen Mingan.
As for Madam Chen, Gao Yan'er, and Zhao Lian'er, they are all here.
Then, Zhu Huaizhen had a flash of inspiration and was shocked.
"Mother-in-law, I don't know whether my guess is right or not. Please don't hit me. Did Chen Ming'an sleep with the wrong woman? On the night of his wedding with Zhao Lian'er, he slept with Gao Yan'er." Zhu Huaizhen whispered in Princess Pingyang's ear.
This can explain why Chen Mingan looked like he had lost his parents.
"Zhen'er, isn't it ridiculous? Such dirty things would never happen in the palace. You leave the good husbands outside and insist on staring at your own cousin." Princess Pingyang became angrier and angrier as she thought about it, and smashed the ivory carved and painted lidded bowl with a melon pattern.
My goodness, this is the ivory carved and painted covered bowl with melon and melon pattern used by Gu Xingchen, the rumored lover of Empress Roujia, and it just broke into pieces like this.
Zhu Huaizhen looked heartbroken and was obviously distracted.
However, Zhu Huaizhen quickly recovered, coughed lightly, and said a few fair words: "Mother-in-law, calm down. In fact, it may not be Gao Yan'er who colluded with the old lady and Mrs. Chen to come up with this evil idea. Maybe it was Zhao Lian'er who led the way, promising Gao Yan'er the position of concubine to challenge me."
After hearing this, Chen Mingan glanced at Zhu Huaizhen with a cold expression.
He was silent for a long time before he said in a hoarse voice: "Zhenzhen, Lian'er is not that kind of person."
