Fortunately, it finally fell to the ground and went out, and she let out a long breath.

She got up with cold eyes and quickly went to inspect the brazier filled with sacrifices.

Fang Wu asked worriedly: "You'er, were you injured just now? What happened?"

Lin Ruoyou replied without raising her head: "I smelled the smell of kerosene. If I guessed correctly, the area around this ancestral hall has been sprayed!"

Fang Wu broke out in cold sweat. She couldn't imagine what the scene would be like after lighting the sacrifice.

Not only was she caught in the fire, but she also had to bear the stigma of setting fire to Han Ning's mother's memorial tablet.

This vicious plan is simply too sinister!

Not even sparing the dead!

Lin Ruoyou soon found clues from the brazier. She knocked on the bottom of the basin, and it made a dull sound.

She said coldly: "Zi'er, go and invite Han Pinghou. I want to ask him what his intentions are!"

Not long after, not only Marquis Han Ping was invited, but even the old lady was helped over.

Marquis Han Ping seemed to think that Lin Ruoyou was making trouble unreasonably. He said with a stiff face, "Didn't I already ask you to worship? What else are you dissatisfied with?"

Lin Ruoyou threw the brazier in front of him: "Han Pinghou, I just want to ask you, do you really want us to worship Madam Hou, or do you want to burn our mother and daughter alive in your house?"

Marquis Han Ping's expression changed suddenly, and he argued quickly: "Lin Ruoyou, I know that you are a sharp-tongued person, and you have the support of the regent. You have always been domineering and arrogant, but you shouldn't have framed me for nothing. How could I harm you?"

Lin Ruoyou raised her eyebrows sarcastically: "Wouldn't it be clear if this is a false accusation or not? We'll know if we open this brazier?"

Han Pinghou's eyes widened in surprise. How could this brazier be opened?

Not allowing him to say anything, Lin Ruoyou directly picked up a sharp dagger and stabbed it hard at the bottom of the basin, and black fire oil surged out.

"This!" Han Pinghou turned pale in shock.

He licked his dry lips and murmured in a trembling voice: "I didn't know there was a mechanism in this brazier. Why was it okay when I used it before?"

Lin Ruoyou scolded coldly: "What? According to what you said, we put the kerosene in ourselves?"

Marquis Han Ping wanted to speak again, but was interrupted sharply by the old lady: "That's enough. Don't you still think it's embarrassing for us to dislike our Marquis' mansion? Go find the rough lady who cleans the ancestral hall and interrogate her about who has been to the ancestral hall before!"

The rough lady refused to say anything at first, but the old lady pushed her down with a cane and threatened to sell her to a flower house. Then she cried and said: "It was the young lady's maid Mei Xiang who came here. She said that she was old The brazier was unsightly, so I replaced it with a new one!”

The old lady glared at Han Pinghou: "Did you see that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked? That vicious woman is not bad enough herself, she even made Han Yuan's wife cruel!"

Han Pinghou blamed himself. He said guiltily: "Han Ning's wife, I was negligent. I didn't expect that she was injured. She doesn't have a long memory. I will order someone to drag her here and let you deal with it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Yuan ran over and said, "How dare you touch her again? She is your biological daughter-in-law. If you are wronged, you can just ignore it and even punish her. You Whose father is he?"

Han Pinghou looked at his embarrassed son in front of him and subconsciously explained: "Yuan'er, they did something wrong. Don't ignore right from wrong!"

Han Yuan pointed at Fang Wu and her daughter and cursed: "Both of them are despicable foxes. First they stole Han Ning's soul, and then they lost your eyes. Are you going to divorce my mother for them?" Are you going to kill my wife?"

"Bang!" Lin Ruoyou hit his mouth hard with the brazier in her hand without hesitation.

Han Yuan's mouth was swollen from the smash. He wanted to continue to curse, but he couldn't open his mouth at all.

He stretched out his hand and pointed, whimpering and speechless.

Lin Ruoyou didn't get used to him, so she took out a brocade handkerchief and wrapped it around his finger and said, "As the heir apparent of the Hou family, didn't your father teach you not to point at people with your finger?"

As the last word fell, she pushed back hard and broke his entire finger.

"Ah!" Han Yuan screamed miserably.

Han Pinghou was shocked. After all, he was his own son. How could he just watch him cry out in pain and ignore him.

He said quickly: "Come here, help the prince away quickly and let the doctor treat his injuries!"

Han Yuan almost fainted from the pain. Even if he hated Lin Ruoyou and wanted to tear her apart, he didn't have the slightest energy to cause trouble again.

After he was taken away, Han Pinghou said with a bitter face: "Now that my son has learned a lesson, let's just let the brazier matter go!"

Lin Ruoyou said indifferently: "If you want to give up, it doesn't matter what you say. I want to report it to Dali Temple and thoroughly investigate the murderer who wanted to kill my mother!"

Han Pinghou quickly winked at the old lady, hoping that she would come forward to calm the matter.

The old lady also understood that after meeting the official, Han Pinghou completely lost his face.

It is even possible that Han Yuan's position as the heir apparent will no longer be preserved!

She didn't care much about Han Yuan, but the glory that should have belonged to Han Pinghou.

She spoke with difficulty: "Xiao You'er, I know I shouldn't speak at this time, but I can't just watch the Hou Mansion be destroyed in my hands. Even if I go underground, I won't be able to see the ancestors of the Han family! "

Lin Ruoyou was waiting for her words, and she quickly said: "Since the old lady is helping to plead for mercy, we will be more generous. As long as we can take away Madam Hou's tablet, let's forget about it!"

Marquis Han Ping objected subconsciously: "No, she is my wife, and the tablet should be placed in the Marquis' mansion!"

There was only one thought in his mind at this time, and that was that if the tablet was taken away, his only connection with Han Ning would be severed.

He was afraid that he would never step foot into the Marquis Mansion again in this life, and would never recognize him as his biological father.

As the regent's favorite general, he will definitely have a smooth official career in the future. As long as he makes great military exploits, Han Yuan will be able to get some glory by his side.

Therefore, the tablet position must not be given away.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Except for this condition, I can promise you everything else!"

Lin Ruoyou said decisively: "No need, the only condition I can offer is this. Since you refuse to agree, then don't blame us for reporting it directly to the official!"

Seeing that she was about to send someone to leave, Han Pinghou quickly stopped her.

Lin Ruoyou said impatiently: "What? Is Han Pinghou planning to use force? If something goes wrong between our mother and daughter in your house, aren't you afraid that the regent and the general's house will come to you for trouble?"

Han Pinghou retorted with a stern face: "Why are you so aggressive and trying to get things done? What's in it for you? Keep a line in everything so that we can meet each other easily in the future. Don't you understand this principle?"
