The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak
Chapter 1018 Fire in the Ancestral Hall
Mrs. Wan said stubbornly, "I can not only stand high and see far on horseback, but I am also very comfortable. In a few days, my grandson will teach me how to ride."
"Mother, can you please stop pampering him like this? If you break your arms or legs, you will be the one who suffers. Haven't you seen Miss Zhong's maid Zhu'er? I heard that she can only get out of bed. If you believe Cheng Youning, you will be in trouble."
Madam Wan said, "If I don't believe my grandson, who should I believe? Besides, you guys are so busy all day that I can't find anyone to play with my grandson. My little grandson is left alone, how pitiful. My grandson suddenly wants to teach an old woman like me how to ride a horse. How can I refuse my grandson's face? As a grandmother, I must accompany him. Besides, everything my grandson said makes sense. Learning to ride a horse is also for my own good. Grandson, what did you say to grandma just now?"
"Oh, grandma said, 'If you don't shovel the road, it won't be leveled; if you don't do something, it won't be accomplished; if you don't persuade people, they won't be kind; if you don't strike the bell, it won't ring.'"
Madam Wan said, "That's it, grandson. Please explain to them what it means so that they won't be so ignorant as to make a fuss."
Cheng Youning raised his head and started to speak: "It means that if you don't shovel and repair the road, it won't be smooth; if you don't do something, you won't succeed; if you don't persuade someone, he won't learn well; if you don't beat the bells and drums, they won't sound. In short, you have to be brave enough to face difficulties. As long as you want to learn, you can learn. Come on, all of you make way, don't delay me and my grandma from riding horses."
Then everyone saw Cheng Youning leading the horse forward little by little. Although the horse was not moving fast, it was really scary to see Madam Wan swaying on the horse's back. Moreover, it was obvious at a glance that Madam Wan was a little afraid of heights, and she was only insisting on sitting on the horse's back just to please Cheng Youning.
Cheng Feng couldn't bear to watch this grandparents and grandchildren anymore. If they continued to quarrel like this, his mother would definitely fall off the horse. He snatched the reins from Cheng Youning and said to Cheng Youning, "If you like riding a horse, Daddy will ride with you for a while. Let your grandma get off first."
Madam Wan was afraid that Cheng Youning would be punished by the family, so she refused to get off the horse no matter what. In the end, several people had to force her off the horse.
Cheng Youning pulled at his grandmother's clothes and yelled, "Grandma, don't go. It's just the beginning. It will be fun when the horses start running."
Madam Wan said, "Grandson, wait until they are gone, and then I will play with you again."
"Don't help my grandma away. If you take her away, who will play with me?"
Cheng Fengqi's nose was crooked, "Cheng Youning, didn't you see that your grandma is so dizzy that she can't even walk?"
Wan Lianxing, who stood there and watched the excitement for a while, said: "Every time Cheng Youning was hit, there was a reason. He was never wronged. This kid is really...really rare."
Cheng Youning said, "Little Grandpa, what are you talking about? Why don't you help me keep grandma here at this time?"
Wan Lianxing asked: "Why are you thinking about your grandma?"
At this time, Zhong Siyu stood up and said, "This matter may have something to do with me." So Zhong Siyu recounted the conversation between Cheng Youning and her late last night.
Wan Lianxing said: "Who said that everyone in our mansion must be good at riding and shooting?"
Cheng Youning said: "I said, I must make sure they all learn how to ride horses."
Wan Lianxing said, "There are so many people in the mansion, there must be others besides the maids, why did you choose your grandmother?"
Cheng Youning said, "There is no one else. Only grandma and Miss Zhong can't ride a horse. Miss Zhong is a coward and won't learn from me no matter what. So I have no choice but to teach my grandma."
At this time, Han Nianxia stood up and said, "Cheng Youning, I am a human being, and I can't ride a horse either. It's better for you to teach me than to teach my aunt. Look at what you have done to my aunt. She can't even walk properly."
Cheng Youning said quietly, "You are not considered a member of my Wan family. You will have to leave the prefectural government sooner or later."
"Hey, you still despise me. You are so picky about who plays with you. I am the only one who is braver among these women. Look at how old your grandmother is. Look at Miss Zhong, how weak she is. I am not trying to scare you. If you hurt any of these two women, you will be locked up in the ancestral hall for a month. Haven't you seen clearly that there is nothing in the ancestral hall of this mansion except a family letter. Do you know what this means?"
Cheng Youning looked into Han Nianxia's eyes and asked, "What does that mean?"
"This means that this ancestral hall is prepared for you. It is used to imprison you when you make mistakes."
Cheng Youning looked at Cheng Feng: "Dad, is what Nian Xia said true?"
Cheng Feng said: "I didn't build the ancestral hall, so I don't know."
Cheng Youning looked at Wan Lianxing again, and Wan Lianxing waved his hand and said, "It wasn't me who did it. The last time I came back from Mochun County, this ancestral hall appeared in my home."
Cheng Youning pouted and said, "It must have been my grandfather who did it. My grandfather is a bad guy. I'm going to find him and ask him to tear down the ancestral hall."
Cheng Feng grabbed Cheng Youning and ran away: "What are you arguing about? Every family has an ancestral hall. It is a place to worship the gods. You can't blaspheme the gods."
Cheng Youning had no choice but to give up, but he still looked unwilling, but no one thought much about it.
But that night, flames shot up into the sky from the prefect’s mansion.
The guards beat drums and gongs, "There's a fire, there's a fire..."
Everyone heard the noise and ran out to put out the fire.
Wan Lianxing asked: "Where is the fire?"
"My Lord, the fire started in the ancestral hall first. The fire was very fierce. It has only been a cup of tea since it was discovered. The ancestral hall has been burned beyond repair."
"Where else is on fire?"
"The left and right halls also caught fire, but fortunately there were many people, so the fire was not severe."
"Are there any casualties?"
"No one lived in the areas where the fire broke out, so there were no casualties. A few people were just slightly burned while fighting the fire."
Wan Lianxing said: "Notify everyone and tell them that I am waiting for them in the main hall."
"My Lord, who should we notify? The head of the security guards?"
Wan Lianxing said: "Call all the people from the Wan family, young and old."
"My Lord, shouldn't we catch the arsonist first? There are no people living in those places, so it's impossible for the fire to start without reason. It must be man-made."
Wan Lianxing said: "Call them first, and we can talk about other things later."
"Yes."
Soon, people came. Master Wan had a very bad face and sat there without saying a word. Madam Wan looked nervous, "Who did it? Why did they burn down the ancestral hall? This is too immoral."
Wan Lianxing asked Cheng Youning, who was sitting there silently, "Cheng Youning, who did it?"
"Youning doesn't know."
Wan Lianxing said: "Do you think you can get away with it this time?"
Shang Xi had gone out during the day and didn't know what happened at home. He asked Wan Lianxing: "Uncle, what do you mean? Is this related to Cheng Youning?"
