It was Mu Qian's first Mid-Autumn Festival when she returned to the Yun family. Starting from the morning, the entire Yun family's servants were busy coming and going.

All members of the Yun family did not go out. Even Yun Jinghang, who was always busy, stayed in the garden. The Yun family was always busy during festivals like this.

Mu Qian, who had been dragged out of the quilt by Yun Yuwei so early in the morning, was stunned and let her get dressed in a daze.

"This is your first Mid-Autumn Festival since you came back. You have to worship your ancestors in the morning. Please be more energetic." Yun Yuwei said and pushed him into the bathroom to wash up.

When Mu Qian was brushing her teeth, she remembered that there seemed to be the Yun family's ancestral hall to the east of the library behind the Yun family.

The ancestors of the Yun family are enshrined inside. During the New Year and the 15th day of the lunar month, there is constant incense there.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I must be worshiping ancestors in the morning.

When the two of them packed up and went to the ancestral hall, the Yun family father and son, dressed in black suits, were toasting and offering incense in front.

Mu Qian and Yun Yuwei were the youngest, so they were naturally ranked last.

After the people in front had all offered a series of incense, it was the turn of the last two people.

Mu Qian followed Yun Yuwei's movements in unison, but something went wrong when the two of them knelt down on the futon to light incense.

Mu Qian held the incense in her hand and pointed it at the candle, but couldn't light it.

Yun Yuwei on the side noticed her movements and glanced at the servants standing around, so many people were watching.

Sure enough, as time went by, the incense in Mu Qian's hand was blackened by the candle flames and he was not even lit.

Yun Yuwei saw that the servants waiting around her had begun to whisper. She knelt straight, reached out and took the three sticks of incense from Mu Qian's hand with a natural expression, and put her own in her hand.

Mu Qian bowed and placed the incense on the incense table. Yun Yuwei took three more incense sticks and lit them before putting them in and placing them.

"Who has been to the ancestral hall this morning?" Yun Yu asked slightly.

The servants in charge of cleaning looked at each other. The second lady just failed to light the incense. Something was going to happen.

"I only do small tricks like this behind my back." Yun Yuwei looked at the incense in her hand and sneered.

"Any questions?"

Yun Zaichun walked to his sister. They had their backs to him just now, and he didn't see what just happened.

"It's okay." Yun Yuwei put away the unlit incense.

Yun Jinghang called to Mu Qian, "Qianqian, come here and help grandpa go to the library."

Yunhan's health has not been very good these days, and he coughed several times when he got up in the morning.

"Go." Nan Su pushed her forward.

Mu Qian obeyed and walked to Yun Han's side. Yun Jingyu accompanied the two of them out of the ancestral hall, leaving only Yun Zaichun and Yun Jinghang.

This matter was not easy to handle in the ancestral hall, so Nan Su and Yun Yuwei left the ancestral hall and went to the courtyard outside in a tacit understanding.

Yun Jinghang saw the expressions of the two people and left silently.

"Dad, please wait for me."

Yun Zaichun followed in his father's footsteps. No one knew the temperament of mother and daughter better than the father and son. It was better not to take a trip into troubled waters at this time.

Yun Yuwei sat down in the pavilion at the entrance of the ancestral hall, looked at the rows of servants standing opposite and repeated the question just now.

"Who has been to the ancestral hall in the past two days?"

The servants present looked at each other in confusion, some of them really couldn't understand what the eldest lady meant.

"Are you not going to say that?" Yun Yuwei threw the incense in his hand in front of them, "If no outsiders have come, you can explain to me what this incense is about?"

She had just checked carefully and found that the incense was covered with something and could not be ignited with an open flame.

When Mu Qian first came back, he went into the ancestral hall to offer incense, but the incense could not be lit. At that time, the Yun family were immersed in the joy of Mu Qian's return and did not pay attention to such a trivial matter.

But the second time I went to the ancestral hall today, something like this happened again. One time it was a coincidence, but the next time it might not be.

"Remember Mrs. Fu, right?" Yun Yu poured herself a cup of tea slowly, "You should have seen what happened to Mrs. Fu. The Yun family has always been generous to the people below, and you will not be held accountable if you make a small mistake occasionally.

, but I made it clear today that the Yun family cannot keep such a person."

The cleaning servants on the tenth day looked at each other in confusion. Mrs. Fu was expelled from the Yun family because she colluded with Miss Zhong to plot against the second Miss.

Mrs. Fu has been an old servant of the Yun family for more than ten years, and she ended up like that in the end, let alone them.

"Man and money are at stake. If you dare to do such a thing in the Yun family, you should have the consciousness to bear the consequences." Nan Su said and looked at the people behind him, "Check their accounts to see whose accounts have abnormal amounts of income.

Pass them all over to me."

Seeing that the people behind Nan Su were getting ready to leave, someone on the other side couldn't hold it any longer.

"Mrs!"

Yun Yuwei looked at the girl who came out timidly from behind. It seemed that she had not seen this girl a few times before, so she must be unfamiliar.

"Madam, it's me." The little girl lowered her head, her hands and feet were trembling.

"Did you do it?" Yun Yu stared at her slightly, slamming the tea cup in his hand on the stone table, "You are so brave!"

The teacup shattered at the sound, and the little girl opposite also knelt down in fear, her shoulder blades shaking constantly.

"Yes...it was Miss Zhong who gave me money to tamper with the incense used by the second lady during the sacrifice!"

Nan Su raised his hand and pressed his temples, the anger that had been suppressed was about to break through.

"How many times have you done this?" Yun Yu slightly suppressed his anger.

"Two...twice." In order to protect herself, she told everything she knew. "Miss Zhong said that every time she came to the Yun family's ancestral hall to offer incense, Miss Mu Qian would not be able to light it.

If she stays, the rumors from outside will be enough to crush her to death."

The theory of ghosts and gods has never been a fallacy in this world. After all, being able to travel to heaven and earth through spiritual energy is not something that ordinary thinking can explain.

The Yun family has constant incense all year round. On the first and fifteenth day of the year, the descendants of the Yun family have to offer incense and worship.

But if Mu Qian couldn't light the incense every time, I'm afraid there would be a lot of gossip outside.

"The Yun family doesn't need you anymore. Pack your things and go further away. It's best to leave the imperial capital." Yun Yuwei looked at the person opposite and said without emotion.

"Miss, please give me another chance." The girl cried out in fright.

Yun Yu looked at her slightly, and for the first time a merciless chill appeared on his usually cold face, "The Yun family has always been generous to their servants. They can be forgiven for any mistakes they make, but there is only one thing. You help outsiders."

You don't deserve to be forgiven for plotting against my sister."

Nan Su raised his hand to signal, and the person guarding him stepped forward and dragged the person out of the pavilion.

Heart-rending shouts rang out in the yard, but quickly dissipated.

"She won't have any job opportunities in the capital. All of you, listen, this is a lesson learned from the past. If anyone shows up again in the future, it will be more than that simple." Nan Su looked to the opposite side.

The person said coldly.

What happened in the entire ancestral hall had not reached Mu Qian's ears. As for the inability to light the incense, she knew clearly that someone had tampered with it.

But she is currently busy with matters at Mingyang Mausoleum and the academy, and really has no time to take care of these small fights.

She helped Yun Han all the way back to the garden where he lived, but along the way Mu Qian could see that the old man's health seemed really not good.

I took one step and took three steps. I don’t know how much worse I was than a month ago.

Although the elderly will really become weak as they get older, it has only been a month, and they have become weak too quickly.

Mu Qian watched the old man finish drinking the medicine and still didn't move.

"Second Miss, don't worry. This is the old man's old problem. It's just that the weather has been cold recently. Just drink the medicine and have a good rest." Uncle Gao took the medicine bowl and smiled to comfort Mu Qian.

Yun Han put aside the handkerchief he was wiping his mouth with and looked at his granddaughter opposite, smiling happily.

"Tell Grandpa, are you used to being in Yinjue Courtyard? Are you happy?"

Mu Qian thought for a while and answered seriously, "That's it."

"Second Miss, please don't report good news or bad news. We all know what just happened in Yinjue Hospital. You were injured. If Mr. Chi hadn't invited the best spiritual doctor to treat you, you would still be injured now.

It’s still hurt.”

When they came back yesterday, Yun Yuwei and Nan Su wanted to strip Mu Qian naked and check if there were any other wounds on her body.

When Mu Qian saw the scar near her heart, tears fell from her eyes as she watched Nan Su.

She herself quite disagreed.

"My grandpa said when I sent you to the academy, you don't have to be too outstanding in everything. The Yun family doesn't need you to be proud of your ancestors. As long as you can be healthy, that's all. But you have been injured for only a month," Yun Han said.

Sighed.

Uncle Gao winked at Mu Qian, who understood.

"Otherwise, I won't go to school and come back?"

Before Mu Qian could finish her words, she was interrupted by the person opposite.

"Nonsense, the most taboo thing about doing something is to give up halfway."

Mu Qian was amused by Yun Han's words, "Didn't you say you were worried about me?"

Even though she was so worried, she still didn't let her drop out of school and come back. What this old man said and what he did were two different things.
