Chapter 1831 Old Liang Family Residence, Lu Ningwen and Fang Yu In Trouble

Who knew if it was because his sister-in-law had read Fang Yu and Lu Ningwen's fates and said that the two of them might die early, but Qi Hao was listless when he went out with his sister-in-law at 3pm. Even though he had already let Fang Yu and Lu Ningwen know, he was still a little worried about them.

What made him glad, however, was that Fang Yu and Lu Ningwen obviously trusted his sister-in-law's words and took them to heart. Who knew, they might be able to avoid that calamity if they were careful.

How could Chi Shuyan not know what Qi Hao was thinking? She said, "Don't worry; since I'm here, I can do something." In addition, she had given each of them a Tracking Talisman, so it was very likely that she would be able to save them. Chi Shuyan looked up at the sky and said, "This can be considered returning a favor to the two of them."

Hearing that his sister-in-law would take the initiative to help the two of them, Qi Hao was very happy and relieved. Hearing his sister-in-law's last sentence, Qi Hao blurted out in surprise, "What favor?"

Chi Shuyan didn't plan to hide the fact that Song Yanru had tricked Lu Wenjing into voting for him. She didn't want Haozi, this silly kid, to have a good impression of Song Yanru after what the latter had done.

It was Fang Yu and Lu Ningwen who had taken the initiative to tell them to be wary of Film Empress Song.

Qi Hao was really stupefied when he heard this, especially when he found out that the reason something had happened to him last night was all because of Film Empress Song, whom he had admired before. His head was about to smoke with his rage, and his whole body shook.

If she were in front of him right now, he would definitely go against his principle of not hitting women and beat her up.

He didn't have any grudge against Song Yanru, but this woman actually schemed against him and wanted him dead.

Qi Hao, who had had a close brush with death last night, didn't have the slightest favorable impression of Song Yanru. He only felt hatred and fury, and his eyes were red with anger. "Sister-in-law, why did she do this?"

Qi Hao then swiftly recalled how he hadn't switched rooms back then. The veins on his forehead bulged; he was clearly extremely furious.

After that, Chi Shuyan wasn't as angry as before. She even admired Haozi's extremely angry expression. It seemed that she didn't have to worry about this kid being taken advantage of by that Song woman again in the future. "What do you think? That's why you can't judge a book by its cover. Before you become familiar with a person, don't be in a hurry to blindly worship them. We're all human; how can we not have the slightest bit of selfishness? It's impossible for us to be perfect. Someone with a flawed character can still be trusted somewhat, but a spotless reputation? This is the sort of person whom you should guard against the most. This means that this kind of person is good at pretending and is a real schemer."

Actually, Chi Shuyan had always felt that being crafty and shrewd was a merit, but it depended on the path you took.

Without waiting for Qi Hao to say anything else, Chi Shuyan saw that it was about time, and said, "Okay, it's about time. Let's talk on the way."

Qi Hao was puffed up like a puffer fish with anger. Only after walking for a while did he look around blankly. "Sister-in-law, where are we going now?"

"I want to take a look at the Liang ancestral hall," Chi Shuyan replied.

"The Liang ancestral hall?" Qi Hao was still a bit stumped, but then quickly said, "Sister-in-law, there's really something wrong with that Director Huang."

"There's no rush. Let's go to the ancestral hall first. Since something happened to us here in the Liang residence, we have to understand who the Liang family is and what they've done – there might be a lead there. As for Director Huang, he's not the only one who isn't right. For now, that's not the most important thing," Chi Shuyan said patiently. By then, the two of them had already stopped in front of a very dilapidated ancestral hall.

This ancestral hall was in the most remote part of the old Liang residence, but it occupied a very large area. It was a little rundown, and had a rusty locked metal door.

The yard was filled with weeds, but compared with the outer courtyard, the weeds here only reached a person's knee – it seemed that someone had come in to weed this place sporadically.

Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes.

Soon, she and Haozi unlocked the metal door and pushed it open. There was a strong musty smell in the ancestral hall, which caught Haozi off guard. He choked and coughed non-stop.

Chi Shuyan patted the kid's back. "I forgot to tell you that the smell here would be too strong. Don't breathe too hard."

Qi Hao coughed for a long time before he stopped. He said pitifully, "Sister-in-law, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

How could Chi Shuyan have known that this kid would be so naive? Didn't normal people know that this ancestral hall, which had been abandoned for a long time, would smell too bad?

She didn't say much and patted this kid's back comfortingly a few times before letting go. Then, her eyes swept seriously over the heap of memorial tablets on the table.

She had been here once before and had a rough understanding of the Liang family's lineage. Before this residence and the Liang family met with disaster, it seemed that the Liang family had a lot of offspring. However, it was clear that there were fewer and fewer of them in the last few generations, until only one descendant was left, and the family line was almost broken.

Something must have happened to the Liang family.

Who knew what happened to the Liang family after that?

"Sister-in-law, did a tablet fall off the table here?" Qi Hao picked it up and casually placed it back on the table. Qi Hao was still very pious when it came to things like memorial tablets. If he wasn't pious, he was afraid that the Liang family would haunt him.

Chi Shuyan looked over indifferently until she saw the words on the tablet. Her face changed slightly. "Wait, that tablet isn't in the right position. Haozi, put it over there."

As Chi Shuyan spoke, she pointed at one spot. Qi Hao didn't think much of it and obediently placed it as instructed by his sister-in-law.

Sure enough!

As soon as the tablet was placed in position, the order immediately became much more harmonious.

Chi Shuyan's eyes swept over the memorial tablet, and her face completely changed. Her eyes were fixed on the words "Ancestor Zhuang" in the center of the memorial tablet, and her expression was dark and unreadable.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

"It's fine. Let's go take a look on the second floor!" Chi Shuyan said.

Time passed quickly. When Chi Shuyan looked at the sky outside again, it was already completely dark. For some reason, Chi Shuyan's right eyelid twitched when she looked at the dark sky.

It wasn't until she sensed that the Tracking Talismans on Fang Yu and Lu Ningwen had turned burning hot that her face turned very unsightly. "Haozi, we have to go back right now. Something has happened to Fang Yu and Lu Ningwen!"
