Chapter 1422 Suspicion

Xiao An, Ju'er, San Yatou, Dabao and the others all felt that they were the focus of the crowd wearing white filial piety hats.

They were chasing and playing around at the entrance of the ancestral hall, picking up firecracker shells on the ground and playing with them.

Incomparable joy!

Most of the day was spent in this noisy atmosphere.

At lunchtime, Yang Ruoqing had no appetite as usual, so she secretly hid home alone to try to get some snacks.

I happened to meet Tuoba Xian.

"Qing'er, why did you come back if you weren't eating there?"

Tuoba Xian asked.

Yang Ruoqing covered her stomach, shook her head and said, "I feel sick when I see those meat dishes."

Tuoba Xian was picking up a pair of small shoes there. After hearing this, she quickly put down her work and came to Yang Ruoqing's side.

She raised her hand and touched Yang Ruoqing's forehead, and then her own.

"I don't have a fever. Is it because I didn't sleep well at night and my stomach feels uncomfortable?" she asked again.

Yang Ruoqing shook her head again.

Tuoba Xian said: "You sit down and rest for a while, and my mother will cook you some porridge."

"Mom, I'll go alone." Yang Ruoqing said.

Tuoba Xian said: "You've been tired for the past two days. I'll go. I've cooked the porridge before."

When Tuoba Xian entered the room with a bowl of porridge and a plate of side dishes, she saw Yang Ruoqing sitting at the table, eating wild peaches on the plate.

"The peach was delivered by Xiao Yaxue this morning. It's so sour that I don't even dare to eat it."

Tuoba Xian said, "Qing'er, aren't you afraid of acid?"

Yang Ruoqing smiled sheepishly and said, "I didn't like eating sour food before, but now I don't know what's going on. I just want to eat wild peaches when I see them."

As he spoke, all the peaches in his hand were finished, leaving only a peach core.

She put the peach core aside, then reached out to pick one and ate it.

He looked like he was eating the best delicacy in the world.

Tuoba Xian looked on with suspicion on his face.

Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes lit up.

Just as he was about to say something, Yang Ruoqing had already solved the second one.

"Well, it's so delicious. I feel energetic now." She stretched and stood up.

Tuoba Xian suppressed what she wanted to say and quickly brought the porridge over.

"Don't leave in a hurry. Take a sip of porridge before leaving," she said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, sat down again, and drank porridge.

Tuoba Xian sat aside and looked at Yang Ruoqing with a smile. The joy and love in his eyes were like looking at a rare treasure.

Yang Ruoqing suddenly raised her head and was surprised to find her mother-in-law looking at her like this.

"Mom, why do you look at me like that?" she asked.

Tuoba Xian waved her hands repeatedly: "It's okay, it's okay, mother is happy!"

"Why are you happy?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Tuoba Xian said: "I'll tell you in a few days."

"Uh..." Yang Ruoqing blushed, her mother-in-law is still quite childish!

"Mom, I'm full, then I'm going to the ancestral hall!" Yang Ruoqing said.

Tuoba Xian stood up and said, "Go ahead. Remember, when you kneel down or stand up, you have to go slowly. Don't be too hasty."

"Yeah!" Yang Ruoqing responded.

"When you can't stand up at night, take a nap when you can." Tuoba Xian explained again.

"Okay!" Yang Ruoqing responded patiently.

"You like wild peaches, don't you? I'll keep them all for you." She added.

Yang Ruoqing smiled happily, "Mom, that's so nice, I'll go over first!"

"Okay, okay, remember, don't be too tired, walk slowly and so on!"

After taking several steps, Tuoba Xian was still giving instructions from behind.

Yang Ruoqing waved her hand, turned and left.

I am so happy to have my mother who loves me and my mother-in-law who loves me.

From afternoon to night, the rituals were carried out vigorously.

During the intermission, Mrs. Sun brought a bowl of tea and handed it to Yang Ruoqing: "Qing'er, take a sip of tea, are you thirsty?"

Yang Ruoqing smiled and shook her head, "Mom, you drink, I'm not thirsty."

"It's hot today. Look at the sweat on your head. How can you not be thirsty?" said Sun, demanding that Yang Ruoqing drink it.

Yang Ruoqing had no choice but to take a few sips from the tea bowl.

It was a bit stuffy in the ancestral hall, so the mother and daughter came to sit on two futons at the entrance of the ancestral hall.

At this time, Bao Suyun came over with Mianmian in his arms.

"Third sister-in-law, let me tell you something." Bao Suyun said in a low voice.

"What are you talking about?" asked Sun.

Bao Suyun looked around to make sure no one was passing by, and then said: "Lao Wu was adding tung oil to the four corners of the coffin earlier, and he smelled something strange..."

"Ah? What's the smell?" asked Sun.

Before Bao Suyun had time to answer, a figure ran over from the ancestral hall.

"Third sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, I want to tell you something."

It's Liu.

"What's the matter, my fourth brother and sister?" asked Sun again.

Ms. Liu looked excited and said, "I'm afraid my brother's body is damaged. There's a stench around the coffin!"

"ah?"

Mrs. Sun stood up in shock, and Yang Ruoqing also frowned slightly.

Looking at Bao Suyun again, Bao Suyun's expression clearly told everyone that she was also going to say this just now.

"Really?" asked Sun.

Mrs. Liu curled her lips: "Can what I say still be false?"

Mrs. Sun asked: "How did you know?"

Mrs. Liu said: "Hey, a piece of food in Mr. Kang's hand fell on the edge of the coffin. I went over to pick it up."

"I smelled that smell, tsk tsk, it was just like the smell of dead cats and dead mice. It made me almost vomit!"

When Mrs. Liu said this, she pinched her nose subconsciously, and her facial features and eyebrows wrinkled together.

Sun's expression also changed a bit, "Do you know about this?"

Mrs. Liu said: "I told the fourth child."

Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.

Yang Huaming and Yang Yongjin came out of the ancestral hall together, walking in a hurry.

After leaving the ancestral hall, I saw the women here, and their eyes fell directly on Yang Ruoqing.

"Qing'er, where is Qing'er!" Yang Yongjin pointed to Yang Ruoqing, and then the two of them quickly walked towards her.

"Qing'er, I have to discuss something with you." Yang Huaming said hurriedly.

"Your uncle's body is probably a bit bad due to the hot weather today, and it has a peculiar smell."

"Can I get some toilet water from you to sprinkle on it to cover up the smell?" Yang Huaming asked.

Yang Ruoqing was stunned for a moment.

"Fourth uncle, toilet water doesn't work. It can't cover up the smell, and it won't last for half a bowl of tea."

"When the fragrance dissipates, the stench will become more pungent and obvious."

Yang Ruoqing said.

Toilet water is not easy to make. Besides, if it is used for such a thing, who would dare to buy her toilet water in summer?

"What should we do?" Yang Huaming looked anxious.

"The smell is probably even stronger at night, and there will be no one left in the ancestral hall by then," Yang Huaming said.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Well, I have a lot of moxa sticks there, let's burn the moxa sticks!"

"Not only can it be covered with lush fragrance, but it can also repel mosquitoes on this summer night."

Hearing what Yang Ruoqing said, Yang Huaming nodded quickly.

"Okay, okay, then use moxa sticks!"



At night, there was another wave of dizziness.

During the ceremony, six Taoist priests were performing rituals in the ancestral hall. There were lotus flowers painted on the ground, and they were jumping around like dancing gods.
