Rebirth: Ordinary Life and Living

Many people in the ancestral hall were immediately surprised, and everyone began to whisper. Even Zhou Xinyue was very nervous, not knowing how to get off the stage. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation. Could it be that the incense had also been tampered with?

Zhou Xinyue signaled to Grandma Li to quickly bring three more incense sticks. Grandma Li looked around nervously. She had clearly prepared some on the table, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Just when Zhou Xinyue was worrying about this, the crowd began to riot, and someone in the crowd said loudly: "This is the first time I've seen such a thing. The incense was broken in half. I'm afraid that the ancestors of the family don't accept this adopted daughter into the family."

Someone else said: "That's right, I've never seen anything like this before. This is the first time I've seen three incense sticks broken at the same time. This must be a bad sign."

Someone in the 銆家 family was worried: "What should we do? My son is preparing to take the exam this year. What if this affects his future? Oh, what should we do? Won't my family be in trouble?"

Someone else said: "My grandfather just turned 80 this year, which makes him one of the longest-lived people in our family. The fortune teller said that he will have a disaster this year. Could it be this? Then my grandfather must be..."

The crowd began to stir. At this moment, the master of the family, Tianyu, with a stern face, was about to stand up from the left to speak. A servant behind him, as if something big had happened, leaned close to Tianyu's ear and said a few words anxiously with a nervous look. Unexpectedly, after Tianyu heard it, his face turned pale and he fell back and sat on the chair.

His right hand was shaking and he covered his face as if he was sobbing. People in the ancestral hall began to whisper. No one knew what was going on. Zhou Xinyue also became nervous, because Zhou Xinyue knew that the master of this family was a man who cared a lot about his reputation and would never let such a thing happen in front of everyone.

An elderly man said, "Old man, what's wrong with you? Tell us and we can help you find a solution."

A middle-aged woman yelled, "I'm afraid something has happened. Oh, I knew it. This woman is unknown. I'm afraid her ancestors have caused trouble."

The mistress said, "Nonsense, how can the girl be an unlucky girl? She is the benefactor of our family. If it weren't for her and her parents, you wouldn't be able to see our family today."

The middle-aged woman said, "Even if this is true, who knows, this disaster may fall on our two families one day. We are all members of the Fu family. She has done you a favor, but not us. These three incense sticks were cut off for no apparent reason. I have lived for so many years and have never seen such a situation. If this is the fault of the Fu family's ancestors, our family will be in great trouble."

The mistress yelled, "You are talking nonsense."

Suddenly, Tianyu, with red and swollen eyes and a dark face, walked slowly towards Zhou Xinyue with heavy steps.

Zhou Xinyue's heart was pounding wildly. She knew that Tianyu must be in the mood to kill her at this moment. Looking at his expression, she knew that things were not simple. Looking at Tianyu walking towards her step by step, his murderous red eyes seemed to tear Zhou Xinyue to pieces.

Tianyu was about to walk in front of Zhou Xinyue, and suddenly he stretched out his right hand to strangle Zhou Xinyue to death. His hand was incredibly fast, accurate, and ruthless, but was blocked instantly by a young man's hand.

Zhou Xinyue's eyes widened, her nervous heart seemed to jump into her throat. Tianyu's expression was so cruel, his movements were so fast and accurate, and he was heading towards her throat. If this man hadn't blocked it, her throat would have been broken.

Zhou Xinyue reacted quickly, looked to the left, and wondered who this benefactor was.

It turned out to be a very familiar profile. This young man had sharp eyebrows, a high nose, and picturesque eyes, but his eyes were not as gentle as before, and there was a hint of cruelty in his eyes. That familiar profile was not that Ayi.

Ayi stared at Tianyu fiercely and said in a very low voice: "Old General, my father, the two prime ministers, and the uncle did not send me here to see such a family initiation ceremony, so, old general, you should think twice before doing anything. Everyone is here, this family initiation ceremony should be completed as soon as possible, and then it is best to deal with other family affairs. Don't let today's matter become the topic of conversation among the millions of wealthy families and ordinary people in Cangdu the next day. Old General, what do you think?"

Tian Yu stared at the young man with red eyes, pondered for a moment, slowly withdrew his hand, forced a smile, turned to face the crowd and said: "Everyone, excuse me, let's continue the ceremony."

Tian Yu glanced at Zhou Xinyue, then bowed to the young man and said, "Please take your seat, Prince Twenty-Ninth, and continue to watch the ceremony. Thank you, Prince, for reminding me."

Zhou Xinyue’s eyes widened. She never expected that the handsome young man she saved was actually the twenty-ninth prince.

Ayi looked at her worriedly, with some surprise and passion in his eyes. Zhou Xinyue could taste all kinds of emotions.

Zhou Xinyue then discovered that there was a separate private room on the left, separated by a beaded curtain. Ayi walked into the private room again.

Zhou Xinyue smiled bitterly in her heart. It turned out that Ayi said that his family was a big family and he had many brothers. Isn't this definitely a royal family? Why didn't she guess that at the time?

Zhou Xinyue was nervous and looked at Tianyu again. He looked straight at her. Zhou Xinyue's heart was beating wildly when she saw Tianyu's murderous eyes. She quickly retracted her gaze. Zhou Xinyue knew that something happened at home.

Grandma Li found three incense sticks from somewhere, and her eyes seemed to say thousands of words of comfort.

Zhou Xinyue lighted it again with trepidation, and knelt down as usual, holding the incense and worshiping. This time, there were no problems.

The mistress immediately looked at those doubters with the attitude of a victor.

Those who made sarcastic remarks just stood by and watched coldly.

Finally, Grandma Li said quickly: "I haven't been given a surname or a given name. My name in this life is mine. It's a gift."

Finally, many elders present wrote different words on pieces of wood, and even the 29th prince came to give a name on behalf of the government.

Grandma Li put the wood chips into a bamboo tube and asked Zhou Xinyue to kneel down and shake it slowly. Whatever word came out was her name.

Zhou Xinyue closed her eyes and shook the tree randomly. Finally, two were shaken out. One on top was water chestnut and the other was cypress. Grandma Li held the two pieces and said loudly, "The name has been revealed. Water chestnut and cypress."

Zhou Xinyue thought it was okay after hearing it, at least it sounded better than Goudan. Grandma Li quickly shouted again: "Enter the family tree."

Tian Yu's face turned pale, and in front of everyone, he wrote the three words "Xing Yun" into the family tree.

Grandma Li shouted loudly: "Xingyun, my family, the clan blesses Xingyun with blessings all over the sky, the elders grant blessings to the whole garden, I will change my life with this hairpin, and I will give it a new life. "
