Chapter 187
"Exactly," Xue Wenpei's tone became more and more certain, "In order to prove the true identity of this person, the grand-daughter-in-law specially found a witness from Pulan City, and she can testify that this so-called young master cannot be a member of the Huo family at all. If the old lady doesn't believe it, you can find out by asking the witness."

"In that case," the patriarch glanced at Huo Shuangcheng and saw him nodding slightly, so he simply tossed his sleeves and sat back in the patriarch's seat, "call the witnesses into the hall."

A woman was pushed, staggered a few steps and knelt down on the ground. Looking at the familiar figure in the light and shadow, Nan Cheng Mo was suddenly startled and almost cried out.

"Masters, please forgive me, I'm just a grassroots, I..." The woman's voice was trembling, and she didn't even dare to lift her head.

Xue Wenpei glanced at her impatiently, and quickly said, "Just look up, the one sitting over there is your young master?"

The woman raised her head, her voice trembling with excitement, "Young master, young master!"

"You said he was your young master, right?" Xue Wenpei seized the opportunity to grab the conversation, "Master, this is the nanny of the eldest young master."

"What nonsense, she's just a nanny, how can she prove Huo Jingkang's identity!" The patriarch looked hesitant, and his tone was much tougher than before.

"Nurse, of course he was fed since he was a child. Since he was born, he drank the milk of the nanny. If so, how could he suddenly become a descendant of the Huo family!" The trembling woman suddenly looked up calmly at the patriarch.

"Master Patriarch, although I am the young master's nanny, when I saw the young master, the young master was almost one year old, so I can't testify for this aunt." Liu Ma looked at Xue Wenpei who was beside her with a surprised face, full of deep meaning. "Actually, there is only one wife in Nan's family. When I came to Nan's house, that wife was pregnant for several months and it was the first child. I don't know whether the young master is Master Nan's flesh and blood. I just heard that Master Nan was dying. After calling the young master to the front and saying a few words, Mrs. Nan kicked the young master out of the house, if the young master is really the flesh and blood of the Nan family, Mrs. Nan must not be so furious."

With a few clever words from Liu Ma, Xue Wenpei's face turned red with anger, "You didn't say that at all yesterday! You said..."

"My concubine, if you are hit with two wooden sticks that are as thick as bowls, you can hear whatever you want to hear!"

The atmosphere in the ancestral hall suddenly turned cold, the patriarch looked at Xue Wenpei carefully, and Huo Shuangcheng's eyes were slightly smug.

Xue Wenpei looked fearless, and said sharply, "You old woman, don't try to confuse people with nonsense! Old man, my servant saw her old and frail yesterday, and she has been treating each other well. She just opened her mouth and called herself Jingkang's nanny. The slave family was very puzzled, so they kept her here. They wanted to explain it to the old lady today, but she suddenly changed her face! Old lady, it is about the descendants of our Huo family, please think twice!"

Nan Chengmo didn't expect that Liu Ma would come to the capital, and when he recognized his ancestor, he would suddenly come to the ancestral hall. He was shocked, and subconsciously got up to help him. He was just about to get up when he saw Huo Shuangcheng slightly Shaking his head, he sat down again puzzled. At this moment, Xue Wenpei's slightly anxious eyes suddenly rushed into his eyes, and he suddenly realized that this was just the beginning of a farce!
Mama Liu calmly looked straight ahead and said, "Masters here, I'm being polite! I really don't know what happened, the night before yesterday..."

"In the ancestral hall, how can you talk nonsense here, come here!" Xue Wenpei's face suddenly darkened, and he wanted to drag Liu Ma out of the door immediately.

The patriarch looked displeased and scolded softly, "Mr. Xue, don't be rude! This old lady, please tell me, come and watch!"

"My lord, I am a humble person, and I dare not sit down. You should let me kneel down and finish." Liu Ma turned her head to look at Xue Wenpei next to her in fear, and then said seriously, "The night before yesterday, my old body was killed by someone at night." I came here secretly, and came here the next day. This lady insisted on forcing the old man to tell the young master's life experience, but the old man is just the young master's nanny. Naturally, the master and wife know best about the life experience. The old man can't tell, this The wife ordered someone to hold such a thick stick, oh, I was so scared that I couldn't even speak."

"The lady told the old man to tell the masters what she said in the ancestral hall, and said that if the old man didn't do what she said, he would send someone to kill the old man and his family. The old body raised him with his own hands, but when the old body saw him, he had already been several months old, and the rest, the old body really didn't know anything about it!"

"You still said you didn't know, it was obviously you who said yesterday..." Xue Wenpei suddenly stopped his voice, and said with a cold smile: "I think it's because the slave family cares about it, and it's chaotic. If you insist on accepting an outsider of unknown origin into the clan, the slave family dare not say anything, and the slave family resigns."

"Wait a minute," the patriarch's voice was calm and slow, Xue Wenpei thought his words had an effect, so he bowed his head in secret joy and stood in silence under the hall, "Master Huo Xue, as a concubine, you broke into the ancestral hall privately, which is against the precepts of the ancestors. It is a one-off. It is a false statement to attract outsiders into the house and attempt to pretend to be the Huo family's descendants. There are two offences! Today, in front of everyone in the Huo family, punishment is unavoidable. From today onwards, you will enter the Buddhist hall and kneel down. Three days of punishment, plus a hundred times of copying the female training, let's go!"

"Master, my family is thinking about the future of the Huo family!" Xue Wenpei put on a pitiful look in front of everyone. Huo Shuangcheng was still sick, and he didn't even bother to raise his eyes. Afraid of the authority of the patriarch, they all bowed their heads and remained silent, even the few people who had stated that Nan Cheng Mo would not be allowed to join the clan were silent.The patriarch finally waved lightly, and immediately the two servants stepped forward and carried Xue Wenpei out of the door.

Liu Ma was lured to Qinxinju by the green ring, and waited for news from Nan Chengmo with peace of mind.

After the episode just now, the patriarch felt a little unhappy, but seeing that the auspicious time was coming soon, he stopped talking, "Huo Jingkang, the eldest son of the Huo family, and his biological mother Li Qinqin. Due to a serious illness when he was young, he was placed in foster care, and he took care of the sick with poverty." At the age of seventeen years, when he returned to his family, he should be verified and included in the family tree. I wonder if you have any objections?"

There was a moment of silence in the hall, the third master who had been smiling all the time cleared his throat, and asked in a hoarse voice, "There is a precedent for those who return to their ancestral home, blood test to prove blood relatives, old man, what do you think?"

"Recognizing relatives by blood is naturally the safest, but this old man would like to ask all of you present, this son is the same as Shuangcheng back then, could this relative be false!" Seeing that the auspicious time is approaching, Obviously some people deliberately make things difficult, no wonder they are so cautious, as soon as they start their careers, they don't know how many people's interests will be damaged because of this.

"Old Master, let's do a blood test!" Huo Shuangcheng was sick and weak, and his words were weak, but his voice touched the hearts of others.If the marriage test is successful, then they will have nothing to say, if not...

The patriarch had no choice but to bring up a basin of water that had been prepared in advance, and the boy brought the basin to Huo Shuangcheng, watched a drop of blood dripping into the water, and then brought it to Nan Chengmo.

Huo Shuangcheng was apprehensive, but his eyes were still firm when he looked at Nan Cheng Mo. Nan Cheng Mo pricked his finger and watched the blood fall straight into the basin.

The boy stabilized the water basin without trembling, and the patriarch's eyes were fixed on the blood in the water. The two drops of blood slowly spread in the water and finally merged into one.

"Okay, now who has anything to say?"

Finally, no one spoke out.

Until now, under the guidance of the patriarch, Nan Cheng Mo officially worshiped his ancestors and returned to the clan step by step, and included his name and surname in the Huo family's genealogy.

After tossing until the end of the ceremony, Nan Chengmo's body was suddenly exhausted. All of this was like a dream. He entered the Huo family's ancestral home without any effort. In the eyes of others, he had reached the sky in one step, but just entering the ancestral home caused some right and wrong, After that...

But Nan Cheng Mo couldn't help thinking that he was already involved in a contest, and he was just a pawn for others to borrow.

Xue Wenpei was fined to kneel for three days. During this period of time, it seemed to have calmed down a lot, but Nan Chengmo's life was no longer peaceful.

Liu Ma was brought to the capital late at night from Shita Village by Xue Wenpei, and Qin Mengyao searched hard for a long time. It was not until she received a letter from Kyoto three days later that she collapsed to the ground from exhaustion.It was the first time for Liu Ma to enter the capital, and she was very curious about everything, so she simply stayed in the general's mansion for a few days, and happened to tell all the big and small things that happened to Nan Chengmo in these years, although they were just trivial things, Huo Shuangcheng listened with gusto.

Ever since they recognized their ancestors, everyone in Huo's mansion has been respectful to this new young master. As soon as he came, he caused Second Concubine to enter the Buddhist hall, and for so many years, no one could make Second Concubine suffer like this. So they were all extra cautious, for fear that they would offend this seemingly gentle young master if they were not careful.

Ever since Qin Luofu was accidentally pushed into the water by Liu Yishi, she had contracted a cold.She was lying on the bed and coughing again and again, but her heart was terribly annoyed. Just now the maid brought a bowl of medicine and she knocked it to the ground. Even so, the bad breath was still lingering in her chest, making her very irritated.

The maid brought the freshly brewed medicine again, and cautiously approached, "Miss, you should take a sip of this medicine..."

"Don't drink, such a bitter medicine, if you want to drink it, he will drink it!" Qin Luofu kept talking to him, and she seemed to see that white and tall figure in front of her eyes. If he didn't catch her, how could she be in such a mess? fell into the lake, and in front of so many people!

The maid was a little puzzled, but she didn't dare to ask who he was. Qin Luofu had mentioned "him" from time to time since she came back, but she never mentioned his name.

Qin Luofu grabbed the medicine bowl, gulped down the medicine, pinched her nose but the bitter taste still persisted, the maid hurriedly fetched rock sugar and stuffed it in Qin Luofu's mouth.

"Hmph, when Miss Ben recovers, I won't spare you!" Qin Luofu gritted her teeth viciously, chewing a piece of rock candy until it crackled.

Nan Cheng Mo had been idle for five or six days, felt uncomfortable in the courtyard, and saw that Liu Ma was yearning for the market outside, so he changed his clothes and left the General's Mansion under Huo Qing's leadership.

The street market in Kyoto is much more lively than the streets in Pulan City. There are many big merchants coming and going, and the novelties are even more eye-catching. Nan Chengmo looked around at the accessories on the stall and saw a pair of silver butterfly earrings at a glance. , a pair of wings seem to spread their wings and fly high, and they tremble non-stop when touched by hands, which is really endearing.Nancheng Mo Jie couldn't put it down in his hand, he suddenly remembered that he had never seen Qin Mengyao wearing earrings before, if this earrings were worn on her ears, I don't know how bright they would be.

He joyfully handed the earrings to the peddler, wrapped them up carefully, and just after paying the silver taels, someone suddenly grabbed the exquisite packaging in the peddler's hand and snatched it in his hand.

"My lady likes these earrings, and now they belong to my lady!" Qin Luofu finally revealed her true nature, contrary to her reserved little daughter back then. She unwrapped the package delicately, picked up a pair of earrings with her slender fingers, and smiled. He said provocatively, "Yo, I didn't expect you to have a pretty good eye, but this kind of vulgar thing, it's a bit too disrespectful for this lady to carry it, what do you think?"

"Since the miss knows that I am not worthy of this earring, please return the earring to me!" Nan Cheng Mo smiled politely, seeing the coldness on his face that wanted to freeze him into ice.

"Haha, this lady is not worthy of this thing?" Qin Luofu slammed the object in her hand to the ground, and stepped on it with her feet.

Nan Cheng was not as usual, "Miss is naturally beautiful, so naturally there is no need for more embellishments. But this is a gift for my wife. It's just a pity. I think it's because this thing is not blessed to be favored by my wife."

"Are you married?" Qin Luofu froze in place suddenly, only feeling that the things under her feet penetrated the bone marrow like sharp thorns.

"Of course, my young master and young mistress are in love with each other. Originally, my young master went to the street this time to buy a gift for my young mistress and give her a surprise. But thanks to Miss..." Mama Liu stopped her voice suddenly .

Liu Ma suddenly realized that this place was no longer Pulan City. Although she really didn't like this young lady's behavior, if she offended some high-ranking official, wouldn't it be a disaster for the young master? I can only continue to talk and continue to bite the bullet: "Our young master has never bought a gift for anyone, and his vision is just a little bit worse. Miss has a good eye, and the gift she chooses must be unique. How about you help my young master?" Staff staff?"

Qin Luofu's eyes fell sharply on Mama Liu's face, "You are mere servant, you have no right to talk to Miss Ben!"

"Miss, please show your respect. Mama Liu is my nanny, she is like half a mother. If you are not polite, please be careful!" Qin Luofu was surprised by Nan Cheng Mo's indifferent expression, but for his own sake, She still insisted not to show any timidity.

Standing beside her, Hong Ling carefully looked at Qin Luofu's face, bravely passed the handkerchief in Qin Luofu's hand, and persuaded in a low voice, "Please calm down, my young lady, since she fell into the water, she has been suffering from wind and cold. I have been sick all the time, Xu Shi is not cured of her illness now, and she has resentment in her heart, that's why she was rude to the young master, the lady is really not like this on weekdays..."

Qin Luofu took the handkerchief and covered her mouth, pretending to cough. Hearing Hong Ling's words, she felt more and more wronged in her heart, and her eyes turned red unknowingly.
