C16 Sacrificial Ancestor
"Hur hur." Yan Wushuang sneered, her eyes looking straight at Concubine Du and said, "I always thought that Concubine Du was the most sensible aunt in the family, but it seems that she is only so-so now. Doesn't Concubine Du know that the Ancestor can only go with his daughter? Could it be that Aunt's ambitions were already so high? "You want to push Helian Yu into the position of direct daughter and drag me down?"
Concubine Du didn't expect Yan Wushuang to directly say that out loud. Even if she had the intention, she couldn't admit it. Concubine Du smiled awkwardly and said, "I was rude. I'll let Yu go now."
Helian Yu had dressed up so meticulously that she could turn things around today. How could she agree to go back now? At that moment, she was unwilling to forgive him, "Mother, I'm not going back. I just came out with great difficulty. If not for your miscalculation last time, I would not have become the target of ridicule in the capital! "
She looked at Helian Yu with a heartbroken expression. Could it be that she wanted to scheme against her daughter? Did Yu not feel sorry for her like this? She was fine no matter what others said, even her own daughter was the same.
Yan Wushuang felt a little strange. Ancestor could make Helian Yu lose her life? Could it be that the Ancestor wasn't as simple as she made it out to be?
"Enough, what are you making a ruckus for? Now that Wushuang is willing to sacrifice to the Ancestor, you naturally can't go. As a female, you don't have the qualifications to do so." Helian Yu bit her lips, paused for a moment, and then ran out.
"Wushuang, how was your sleep last night? Did you remember anything?" Prime Minister looked benevolently at Yan Wushuang, who pretended to be profound and said, "Daughter is currently investigating. If there are any clues, I will naturally inform father immediately."
"It's been hard on you, Wushuang. Is Wushuang's manpower strong enough, do you need me to transfer them to Wushuang's father? Speaking of which, Wushuang doesn't have her own Dark Guard." Prime Minister said with a smile on his face.
Yan Wushuang asked naively, "Then Father can you let me choose my own Dark Guard? I'm afraid that the Dark Guard Father gave me isn't genuinely meant to follow my daughter, and might not even fancy my daughter."
"Nonsense, they dare to look down on my daughter. If you want to choose her, you can choose her after the Ancestor returns." Prime Minister said magnanimously, looking just like a father who doted on his daughter.
"Alright, we're going to the White Horse Temple now. Wushuang, this is the first time you have offered sacrifices to the Patriarch, so you might not know this, but the Patriarch of our He Family is not just a member of the He Family. All the other nobles in the capital are present, so you have to remember to be generous and not be petty." Prime Minister said worriedly.
Yan Wushuang nodded her head obediently, but she scoffed in her heart. Worshipping the Ancestor was her own affair, but if everyone in the imperial court were to find out, there might be someone who would use today's Ancestor to give gifts to the prime minister and build relations with him.
Prime Minister brought a few attendants, Yan Wushuang brought Yu'er, and the two quickly arrived at White Horse Temple.
"Why is Prime Minister only just here? We have been waiting for a long time." Yan Wushuang lifted the curtain of the carriage, and saw that her life was very big and big, and she looked like a military general.
Yan Wushuang alighted from the carriage, and the noisy crowd went silent for a long time. Was this the Prime Minister's daughter? Prime Minister actually wanted that silly girl to come worship him?
"This... Prime Minister, this is the direct daughter of your house? " Someone asked in a low voice.
"Yes, Wushuang came over to say hello to all the uncles." Prime Minister saw that Yan Wushuang was standing there, not moving, and was somewhat displeased. Yan Wushuang seemed to be very smart, but she was still as stupid as before. She was not as smart as Yu.
Yan Wushuang walked over gracefully and said softly, "Hello uncles. Wushuang greets you uncles and uncles."
The officials looked at each other and chuckled. It seemed like the rumors were not true. The direct daughter of the Prime Minister was not stupid at all.
The White Horse Temple host walked out and said evenly: "Since Prime Minister is here, then quickly come in."
As the group of people noisily entered the White Horse Temple, Yan Wushuang looked up. There were not only officials and officials here, there were also several young masters of noble families. No wonder Helian Yu thought this way.
Yan Wushuang came back to her senses. The emcee was standing right next to her. Yan Wushuang looked straight at the emcee and said gently, "Master."
"Lady is the daughter of the Prime Minister?" The host said hesitantly, "The lady's fate is already sealed, but now it seems like the morning sun has entered the world. What do you think of this?"
Yan Wushuang was secretly surprised. It seemed like the host was not for nothing. She could actually tell that this body had already passed on. Yan Wushuang said calmly, "Is the host's story about fate?"
"Exactly." The host said indifferently.
"This means that a person's words are destined by the heavens, but I don't think so. A person's fate should be in their own hands, just like what the host said. If you think I'm dead, then doesn't that mean that the host thinks I'm dead as well?"
Yan Wushuang's calm eyes met with the host's inquisitive gaze. The host looked at Yan Wushuang for a long time before sighing, "Amitabha."
After the host left, Yan Wushuang heaved a sigh of relief. Just now, she was really worried that this host would be able to tell that she was just a lone soul from another world. As for her fate …
My life belongs to me and not the Heavens. The Heavens want to destroy me and I will destroy the Heavens!
Yu'er said indignantly, "These monks lie with their eyes wide open. Miss is clearly fine, but Yu'er will never believe them again for no reason."
Yan Wushuang patted the fish's hands without saying anything. The ancestral worship ceremony started very quickly, and it was just a group of monks chanting Buddhist mantras. Then, the monks brought out the ancestral tablets of the He Clan.
Prime Minister kowtowed to the ancestral tablet of the He family. Yan Wushuang watched with boredom. Just as she was about to find a way to leave, Prime Minister's gaze swept over her.
"Wushuang, you're still not going to kowtow?"
Prime Minister was very displeased. Yan Wushuang was so dazed that she could only stare blankly. If it wasn't for the sake of the treasure, she wouldn't have brought her out to make a fool of herself.
Prime Minister didn't think much of Yan Wushuang and felt that she wouldn't try to rope her in.
However, many of the officials present felt that Yan Wushuang was more suitable to marry into their family than Helian Yu. After all, it was not good for women to understand too much.
One of the young masters said with a smile, "It's possible that it's Miss Wushuang's first time here, so there's no need for Prime Minister to scold her."
"Sir Lin's words are reasonable." Prime Minister smiled. It was only now that he noticed that the other young masters looked at Yan Wushuang from time to time. Prime Minister started to wonder who Yan Wushuang was betrothed to that would be more beneficial to him.
Yan Wushuang looked at Prime Minister's face in her heart and only laughed mockingly twice. She walked towards the spirit tablet and kowtowed to the so-called ancestors a few times.
Yan Wushuang didn't pay any attention to what happened after that. She only knew that it was already dark by the time they got back. Prime Minister didn't know what kind of agreement he reached with the officials, so he just smiled and went back.
As soon as Yan Wushuang entered the courtyard, Prime Minister delivered twenty-six Dark Guard s, allowing Yan Wushuang to choose freely. Yan Wushuang thought to herself, this Prime Minister is really generous to her, how many of these Dark Guard s are truly here to watch over her, we'll know after testing them.
"After Father sends you to me, you can only listen to my orders. You can't even listen to Father's orders, and you are willing to take a step forward." Yan Wushuang said calmly.
Out of the twenty-six Dark Guard s, more than ten of them walked forward two steps, while the rest remained expressionless and motionless.
Yan Wushuang walked into the Dark Guard s and said, "You're not willing? Father gave you guys to me, so you guys are mine. Don't tell me you want to turn around and listen to father? "
