famous concubine

Chapter 360 Family law service (2)
"Mother, I think there is another person who is very suspicious." Ji Sulian thought for a while, and once again showed a look of resentment and dissatisfaction on her face, "Auntie intends to put that Dongfang Ni next to the prince to compete for the position of side concubine; what do you say? Could it be that she was behind the scenes?"

"Oh, your aunt still has such thoughts?" Jiang Mengyi frowned and thought for a while, then smiled slowly, "Su Lian, mother won't let her become your obstacle, don't worry."

She has to think of a way!

"Su Lian, since you're back, stay at home for a while, and go back to your aunt after the ancestor worship."

Ji Sulian was a little dazed, and repeated in a murmur: "Worshiping the ancestors?"

In Dongsheng, which values ​​filial piety, worshiping ancestors is a big deal.

According to the usual practice, all the descendants of the mansion, except those who were too sick to get out of bed, had to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony, and then collectively went to the ancestor's grave to offer incense and sacrifice.

Because of preparations for the great event of worshiping the ancestors, the Dongfang Mansion was busy early in the morning.

However, Madam did not inform Dongfang Yu in advance to make preparations, and only in the morning when the ancestor worship ceremony was about to start, did people rush to Luyi Garden to inform Dongfang Yu; , were still chatting with Zhou Gong on the bed, so on the day of ancestor worship, when the servants called out the Oriental language, the madam led all the family members in the mansion to finish the ancestor worship ceremony, and began to offer incense to the ancestral grave. up.

Dongfangyu looked at the ancestral hall, which was empty of people and only smelled of incense and smoke. Apart from feeling extremely quiet and ironic, she didn't even have the slightest mood. To make herself unhappy and make others unhappy; later, she simply went back to her green garden and continued to sleep soundly.

Seeing this, Mother Luo couldn't help persuading with a little worry: "Miss, if you don't participate in such an important event as sacrifice, I'm afraid it's not good? Madam should have an excuse to trouble you when she comes back!"

Dongfang Yu got his round head out of the quilt, squinted his dim eyes, glanced at Luo's mother, and lazily said: "What are you afraid of, you see, she has been tightly covering the preparations for ancestor worship, she just doesn't want to Let me know in advance, afraid that I will show up on time?"

She yawned, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Anyway, she's trying to use this matter to make a fuss. Why don't I go her way? Let's see what troubles she can make." The girl sneered softly, and then Close your eyes and sleep her back into the cage.

Mother Luo looked at her pretty face with her eyes closed and dozed off, and opened her mouth, but after opening for a while, she didn't know what to say. In the end, she could only take a deep look at the girl, shook her head, turned around and spoke in Oriental language. In the boudoir, let Dongfangyu fall into a deep sleep.

Compared with the tranquility and harmony of Lvyi Garden, the family members of Dongfang Mansion who went to the ancestral grave to worship were much more lively.

Because the young lady Dongfang Wu is crazy, so this year's sacrifice, of course, she was not called again; and the second young master of the grandchildren, except for other military affairs, who couldn't drive back from the border, this group of people who participated in the sacrifice The only grandchildren left are Dongfang Xian, Dongfang Xiu and Dongfang Ni.

Along the way, without the usual domineering oriental dance, Dongfang Ni became more lively, and even talked more. Even the usually dull Dongfang Xiu showed a slight excitement in her expression; presumably she was able to go out on weekdays There are not many opportunities, even if you come out to participate in the sacrificial ceremony, you can still be regarded as leaving the mansion, which can really make people feel more cheerful.

Madam looked coldly at their lively and chuckling appearances, and she didn't know if she was touched by the scene. Thinking of Dongfang Wu's usual appearance, she just glanced at them coldly, then turned her eyes away, and didn't speak to reprimand them.

It took a long time for the group of people to stop and go, and finally they could see the Dongfang family's ancestral grave in the distance.

At this time, Dongfang Ni and Dongfang Xiu consciously restrained their voices, lowered their voices, and followed the rules and walked over in order of seniority and lined up in front of the ancestral grave without the need for madam to reprimand them.

However, when Dongfang Ni knelt down, a surprise happened suddenly.

Following her scream of "ah", everyone heard the sound, and then turned their heads to look, only to see that she was hung upside down and was rising into the air.

Seeing this, Dongfang Xian frowned, jumped up on the spot, took the long sword and tried to cut off the rope hanging from her right foot. Although he reacted quickly, he was still half a beat behind, not as fast as the rope would break by itself. speed.

Dongfang Ni was still screaming, and everyone was still in astonishment, but the rope hanging her right foot suddenly broke by itself. When it broke, Dongfang Xian's movement of jumping up and swinging the sword naturally fell through.

He couldn't help but muttered strangely, "It's strange, how could there be a hunter here as a trap!"

Of course, he muttered in his mouth, and even if he was about to fall lightly, he glanced coldly at the panicked Dongfang Ni, without any intention of catching her; There's no need to pick up this sister who has no relationship with him.

He ignored it, and Dongfang Ni was indeed free-falling towards the ground at a very fast speed.

Dongfangni was so scared that she closed her eyes, waiting for the pain when her body hit the ground; while her biological mother, Fourth Aunt, could only watch her because of the distance, and at the same time exclaimed and begged: "Ah, Xiaoni, Eldest young master..."

"Flop" As everyone expected, Dongfang Ni's body fell to the ground and indeed made a muffled sound; however, after the muffled sound, Dongfang Ni's body did not fall to the ground, but continued to move At an instant dumbfounded speed, he fell into a hidden trap next to him with a "whoosh".

"what……"

While everyone was stunned and dumbfounded, Dongfang Ni's scream sounded again in the air; but this time the sound was much more miserable than the previous one.

The fourth aunt immediately ran over in shock, stood by the side and looked down, shouting: "Xiao Ni, how are you?"

Since the surrounding area of ​​the trap is surrounded by thick grass, Si Yiniang couldn't see what was going on with Dongfang Ni under the trap for a while. After she yelled loudly, she didn't hear Dongfang Ni's answer, and immediately called out again in surprise and anxiety: " Xiao Ni...Xiao Ni...how are you? Answer me quickly!"

"Hurry up and tie the ropes and go down to help." Compared to Si Niang's panic, Madam was very calm. She frowned, gave Si Niang a cold look, and quickly ordered her servants to set a trap to save her.

The trap was about two feet deep. When the servant slowly climbed down the wall, he saw that Dongfang Ni had passed out. What was terrible was that when Dongfang Ni fell, because her head hit the ground first, a beautiful The good face actually fell on a row of sharp animal traps below, and both cheeks were firmly clamped by the animal traps, and the sharp teeth of the clips pierced deeply into the flesh of her cheeks.
