The eldest princess opened the box and took out what was inside. It was a shiny blood-red bracelet. Bai Zhaoyi raised his hand and gently put it on for her and said:

"This is a phoenix jade bracelet. It was a betrothal gift from my father to my mother. My mother cherishes it very much and wears it on her wrist every day."

The eldest princess's eyes turned red again, her voice was choked, she paused and continued:

"When I was old enough, my mother gave it to me. I originally planned to leave it to my future children, but unfortunately... I gave this phoenix jade bracelet to Azhao as a birthday gift today, which can be considered as a gift to me. wish."

Phoenix jade bracelet, bless peace.

Back then, the queen mother wished her peace, and today she wishes Ah Zhao peace.

There were specks of tears in Bai Zhaoyi's eyes, and the tip of his nose was slightly sour.She knew about this bracelet, but Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess did not give it to anyone in her previous life and kept it with her all the time.

Bai Zhaoyi saluted the eldest princess, his eyes filled with a layer of mist, and said gently: "Azhao, thank you Aunt Nan. Aunt Nan and Aunt Zhao didn't even have breakfast."

There was a hint of coquettishness in Bai Zhaoyi's tone that was imperceptible, and he shook the eldest princess's arm.

The eldest princess was so amused that she smiled, and her depressed look disappeared.

Bai Zhaoyi had a rich meal at the eldest princess's residence. After the meal, he walked around and talked with the eldest princess in the courtyard. Bai Zhaoyi did not leave until the afternoon.

Sitting in the carriage, Bai Zhaoyi's fingers gently touched the phoenix jade bracelet on his wrist. The bracelet was warm to the touch, which was a rare and exquisite thing.

"Sanxiang, go and send a message to Jingzhe, tell her that it's time for those two to show up, and ask her to find a way to give it to my good father. Since Mrs. Chen has never done anything, I will kindly help her."

Bai Zhaoyi's expression was cold, and a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes. He was no longer as gentle as he had been in the eldest princess's residence just now.

These two have been training for more than a month, and I am sure my father will like them.

With a beautiful concubine in his arms, who would think of his wife who is already over thirty years old?

Sandalwood got off the carriage and walked towards Jishi Hall, while Bai Zhaoyi took Lixia back to Jiangyun Courtyard. Just as he sat on the beauty's couch and planned to take a rest, Ninghuitang sent someone again.

"Third Miss, the old lady invites you to go to Ninghui Hall."

Aunt Qin walked into the house, bowed and said to Bai Zhaoyi with a smile.

Bai Zhaoyi lowered his eyes to hide the trace of boredom in his eyes, stood up meekly and replied, "I'll go right away."

Bai Zhaoyi was even more fed up with Mrs. Bai. Since Mrs. Bai was so idle and had nothing to do and always sent her over to ask questions, she should find something to do to relieve her boredom.

Bai Zhaoyi raised his head and glanced in the direction where the lead machine was hiding, and said something silently.

There was a faint fluctuation in the air for a moment, and it soon became calm again.

Bai Zhaoyi regained his indifferent expression and followed Aunt Qin towards Ninghui Hall, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"My granddaughter is paying my respects to my grandmother. I wonder why my grandmother called her here?" Bai Zhaoyi bowed uprightly to the silver-haired Mrs. Bai who was sitting in front of her.

Mrs. Bai's shrewd eyes kept looking up and down at Bai Zhaoyi who was now in the hall, her eyes sank slightly and she said:

"Three girls went to the eldest princess's mansion. How was your day?"

Unexpectedly, this granddaughter, who was usually sullen and insignificant, would always surprise her one after another.

"Go back to grandma, everything is fine with my granddaughter." Bai Zhaoyi lowered his eyes and replied calmly, pretending not to understand anything.

Mrs. Bai frowned, a bit of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes. She didn't want to hear this answer! ?

She lowered her face and was about to speak again, when a little maid ran into Ninghui Hall in a hurry, knelt on the ground with a plop and said with a trembling voice:

"Old madam, it's not good! Today, the servant went into the ancestral hall to clean up, and found... found..."

The little maid trembled all over like chaff, her teeth were trembling, she was obviously very frightened.

Mrs. Bai suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, and her face became even more ugly. She raised the crutch in her hand and struck it heavily on the ground. She raised her voice and said sternly:

"What happened to the ancestral hall? Why don't you tell me quickly!"

The little maid knocked her head heavily to the ground and cried and replied: "I saw that the two ancestors' tablets in the ancestral hall were broken, and even blood continued to spill out!"

Mrs. Bai's eyes flashed. The crutches slipped from her hands and fell heavily to the ground. Aunt Qin hurriedly stepped forward and took out a bottle of medicinal powder from her arms, sprinkled it into the tea, and fed Mrs. Bai to drink it.

After a while, Mrs. Bai slowly came to her senses. Her face was still dark and ugly, and there was sweat on her forehead. Her whole person was so gloomy that people dared not look directly at her.

Ancestral hall!That is the place where ancestors are worshiped!This happened! !

Mrs. Bai gritted her teeth and picked up the crutches again, asked someone to notify everyone in the house, and walked towards the ancestral hall.

Bai Zhaoyi's dark eyes still showed no signs of trouble, and he silently followed Mrs. Bai without stepping forward.

There was no memorial tablet of her mother in the ancestral hall, so she didn't care anyway.

Ms. Chen even ordered no one in the family to mention her mother after her biological mother passed away. I'm afraid no one in the family even knows her maiden name now.

At this time, the door of the ancestral hall was closed tightly and no one could see what was going on inside. Bai Shaoyuan and Aunt Ju, who were close by, had already arrived at the ancestral hall first.

Mrs. Bai's originally frowned eyebrows became even more tense. What was she doing here while Ju was pregnant?

"Mom, what happened when you asked us to come here?" Bai Shaoyuan stepped forward to support Mrs. Bai and asked in confusion. He had not yet learned what happened in the ancestral hall.

Just now I was admiring flowers in Lilac Courtyard with Aunt Ju, when I was called over by Mrs. Bai in a daze.

Mrs. Bai took a deep breath and looked at the closed door of the ancestral hall with a livid face. She closed her eyes and said, "Shaoyuan, something happened in the ancestral hall."

The ancestral hall is the most sacred place of a family, which is related to the rise and fall of the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, and it is also the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Bai Shaoyuan's heart thumped, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face. He hurriedly pulled Mrs. Bai and asked: "Mom, what happened to the ancestral hall? Why is the door closed?"

Bai Shaoyuan couldn't help but feel a little panic in his heart when he looked at Mrs. Bai's face.

At this time, Mrs. Chen and Bai Yanci and Baili Shi also hurried over, unaware of what happened.

Bai Yanci followed behind Chen, looking pale with no trace of blood on her face.

A smile flashed in Bai Zhaoyi's eyes and disappeared quickly, and he stood quietly aside without saying a word.

Mrs. Bai led everyone into the ancestral hall, and her body swayed again when she saw the scene in front of her.

The tablet above the main tablet was broken, and the sticky blood flowed along the tablet to the ground, dripping into blood-red flowers. The whole room was filled with the smell of blood.
