Green tea was read, the villain's family begged me to be happy

It was a dark night. The housekeeper was walking in front holding a lantern, followed by three members of the Jiang family, old, middle-aged and young.

Marquis Zhongyi's face was deep and serious, Jiang Chengxiao looked a little bored and had no sense of awe, and Pan Ge'er, who was following at the end, was still in a daze. His face was full of sleepiness and he yawned from time to time, obviously he had just got out of bed.

"Grandfather, are you still going to the ancestral temple to worship at this late hour? I heard that the closer it is to midnight, the heavier the yin energy becomes, and the gates of hell open wide—"

Pan Ge'er looked around. The places where the lantern couldn't reach were completely dark, and he couldn't see his hand in front of him.

Although the road leading to the ancestral hall is repaired and is very spacious, it always feels less popular in order to maintain respect for ancestors.

They seemed as if they would be swallowed up by the darkness at any moment. Their hearts were filled with fear, and their voices were trembling.

But before he could finish his words, he was slapped on the back of his neck.

The Marquis of Loyalty said unhappily, "Can you please stop talking nonsense, you bastard? The ancestors of the Jiang family are enshrined in the ancestral hall. Even if the gates of hell open wide, they will only bless you when they see the blood of the Jiang family. Why are you afraid of them taking your life?"

Pan Ge'er was stunned by the slap. He rubbed the back of his neck with his hand and dared not say a word.

Jiang Chengxiao on the side chuckled: "Dad, what you said is true. Brother Pan is a child, it is normal for him to be afraid. This is also a kind of reverence for ghosts and gods."

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but yawning, which happened to be seen by Marquis Zhongyi, who slapped him again.

"Stop talking nonsense and pray more. Ask your ancestors to bless you, or you will become a castrated dog the next time you meet the third brother."

Jiang Chengxiao's face changed. He really couldn't get over this topic, and it hit the nail on the head.

"Dad, are you partial to my third brother? I've had more food than him, so he should be the eunuch."

The Loyal Marquis sneered, "I never show partiality. It all depends on your ability. You can't beat him now. If it weren't for the blessing of our ancestors, you would have been castrated by now."

Although what he said was harsh, it was the truth and instantly left Jiang Chengxiao speechless.

***

At the Marquis of Loyalty's Mansion, it's time for dinner again.

When Xu Wanying sat down, she found that most people had arrived, except for the couple from the second wife.

"Why hasn't Second Uncle come yet? He always comes the latest these days. Grandfather, was he not pious enough when he went to the ancestral hall to worship last time and was blamed by the ancestors?" Jiang Pan was sitting in his seat, unable to bear it any longer.

He was in the period of growth, and he had a half-day riding lesson in the afternoon, so he was already starving.

The delicious food on the table was still steaming and the aroma was so fragrant that he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

Before Marquis Zhongyi could start his speech, Li Chunlan on the side had already glared at Jiang Pan.

"Pan'er, don't talk nonsense. Your second uncle has always been filial. How could our ancestors blame him? He just returned to Beijing and is troubled by many things. It's normal."

As they were talking, a report came from outside.

Jiang Chengxiao and Lu Ling walked in one after the other. When crossing the threshold, Jiang Chengxiao turned around, raised his hand and held Lu Ling's arm, supporting her very naturally.

He let go of her hand only after she stood firm.

This little interaction between the young couple was a natural outcome, and they looked loving and natural.

"Pan brother, are you saying bad things about me behind my back again? Second uncle brought you a lot of gifts. The ones he gave you a few days ago were just odds and ends. There are still some good things left. You are making up stories about me like this. Don't you want them anymore?" Jiang Chengxiao made a few jokes.

Pan Ge'er immediately raised his hands and bowed in a proper manner to apologize.

[Tsk tsk, host, Jiang Chengxiao is really good at pretending!] The system couldn't help but speak at this time.

Jiang Chengxiao, who was originally teasing his nephew, suddenly lost his smile.

He had been warned by the Marquis of Loyalty and had never taken action against Xu Wanying and the system, but he was very unhappy in his heart. Every time he heard the strange electric sound from the system, he became very angry.

[How is he pretending? Is his uncle-nephew relationship with the fat boy fake? In fact, as the second son, Jiang Chengxiao really wants to be the crown prince, and he really doesn't like the eldest grandson of the first wife? ]

[But as a concubine's son, it is difficult for him to become the crown prince. Even if the first house is ruined, there are still the third and fourth sons. Oh, that's not right. Jiang Chengli is devoted to Xing Xiaoya and definitely has no intention of fighting for the Marquis's Mansion. Maybe——]

When Xu Wanying heard the system say this, she immediately became interested, and countless popular plots from domestic fighting novels flooded into her mind.

The system immediately interrupted: [That's not the case. Compared to the Marquis' Mansion, he is more interested in women. ]

[What is he pretending to be? You seem to like being a riddler recently. You have something to say but you can’t say it! ]

The system didn't dare to retort when being scolded, it just grunted and gave the answer: [He is showing off his affection in front of everyone, can't you see it? ]

[Show off if you want to, what's the big deal. You said before that although Jiang Chengxiao likes women, he also loves Lu Ling very much, and no one can surpass the status of his first wife. Lu Ling looks weak, isn't it normal for him to support her? ]

[System, if you don't have anything to say, then don't hold it in, okay? I feel uncomfortable when I hear you fart. ]

Xu Wanying lowered her head to hide her expression, took the opportunity to roll her eyes, and cursed the system in her heart.

[Host, don't be anxious. I haven't finished talking yet. The melon will be here soon! ]

[He is usually considerate and attentive to Lu Ling, and it is normal for him to support his wife, but today's behavior is not normal. He is covering up.] The system pretends to be profound.

[What are you hiding?] Xu ​​Wanying became interested.

The system lowered its voice: [Hide the fact that he is not capable. Since he met Xing Xiaoya that day, he has never been impulsive again. You have to know that a man of Jiang Chengxiao's age is full of energy and blood, so it is impossible for him not to have that need. But he hasn't had it for several days, whether it is Lu Ling or other women, he just can't get interested. ]

Obviously, this was just a strange electronic sound, but everyone in the Jiang family could hear a hint of gloating in it.

Xu Wanying resisted the urge to look up, but the other members of the Jiang family turned their gazes to Jiang Chengxiao, their eyes revealing disbelief.

Jiang Chengxiao clenched his teeth, the veins on his forehead popped out, and his fists were clenched tightly.

[Ah? Really? System, you can't stand being scolded by me these days and start to spread rumors, right?] Xu ​​Wanying was also shocked.

[Of course it’s true! I spent all my energy to test him, he’s really not good enough.] The system assured solemnly.

[Is it possible that he was just too tired? After all, traveling a long way can have an impact.]

The system immediately denied it: [It's impossible. He has already rested for a few days and is still tired from traveling. Besides, the men of the Jiang family have been practicing martial arts since they were young and are full of energy. Not only is he not good with women, but even the physiological reaction that every man has when he wakes up in the morning has disappeared.]

[Jiang Chengxiao is now a completely useless trash! ]
