Chapter 569 Worship
"It's ready. I've asked someone to take it to the ancestral hall. Don't worry."
"Okay, let's go there quickly."
Jiang Mubai was led by several elders to the back of the main house. It took about ten minutes to reach what they called the Jiang Family Ancestral Hall, which was renovated by them to be very magnificent.
There were many tablets placed at the front of the ancestral hall. Jiang Mubai knew without hesitation that these were the ancestors of the Jiang family. She took a quick glance and saw that there seemed to be dozens of tablets.
The servants had already placed offerings and lit incense on the side. Jiang Ping took Jiang Mubai and the other two to burn incense to the ancestors in the ancestral hall. Then they stepped aside and let Jiang Mubai kneel on the ground to worship alone.
It only took a few minutes to get everything done. Jiang An felt relieved when he saw Jiang Mubai returning to his ancestral home.
"Although this ceremony is a bit simple, Mu Bai has finally been recognized by his ancestors."
"Yes, this is a big happy event. We should have a good meal together tonight."
"Sister-in-law, don't just celebrate with a few of us. How about this? I'll pay you to have someone make some delicious food and share it with the servants. First, it will make everyone happy. Second, you can say that the second young lady is treating them to a meal. This way, the servants will remember Mu Bai's kindness and will serve her more attentively and dutifully."
"Why would you need to pay for this? Just tell me about this and I'll tell the kitchen right away."
"Hahaha, okay then, I'll just have to tell the kitchen."
"Why are you being so polite? Don't forget that we are a family. Ah Ping only has you as his brother, and you only have Mu Bai as your child. We should take care of your family."
"Let's leave after the worship. Mu Bai is pregnant now and can't smell the smoke. It's not good for the baby if she smells it too much."
"Sister-in-law, you understand these things. I am a grown man and I am taking care of Mu Bai. This is her first pregnancy and she doesn't understand these things. I will have to trouble you to help us in the future."
"That's easy. If you have any questions in the future, Mu Bai, just come to me. I promise to tell you everything I know."
"Thank you, auntie. Let's go back quickly."
After Jiang Mubai and the others returned to the main house, they all went about their business. Chen Qingyu went upstairs to see Jiang Jinglan. Although everyone knew that Jiang Jinglan was not seriously injured, in order to save face, Chen Qingyu still had to pretend to be concerned and went upstairs to check on him.
No one knew where Jiang Ping went. Jiang Mubai didn't pay attention to his movements, but Jiang An told Jiang Mubai before leaving.
"Mu Bai, I need to go out and take care of something. You stay here by yourself. I will be back before dinner. If you are bored, there are calligraphy books to kill time."
"Okay, then you go."
After Jiang An left, Jiang Mubai didn't want to stay in the hall. She was afraid that she would have to deal with Chen Qingyu again when she met her. Chen Qingyu was so enthusiastic, and Jiang Mubai didn't like that.
Moreover, after Jiang Jinglan falsely accused him, Jiang Mubai could not guarantee whether Chen Qingyu would still treat him the same way as before. Although Jiang Jinglan was wrong in this matter, it was because she falsely accused Jiang Mubai of pushing her. But no matter what, Jiang Jinglan was Chen Qingyu's child after all. Jiang Mubai had half-exposed Jiang Jinglan's true face in front of the servants before, so Jiang Mubai didn't know whether Chen Qingyu would vent her anger on him for Jiang Jinglan.
After arriving at the room, Jiang Mubai did not lie down in a hurry. She had rested this morning and was not very sleepy. In addition, she was shocked by Jiang Jinglan's false accusation, so Jiang Mubai was in a particularly good spirit.
There is a wardrobe in the room. Jiang Mubai had brought some clothes from Jiang An's villa before she came. She had thought that the clothes in the villa belonged to the owner of the room. Finally, the servant told her that those clothes were prepared by Jiang An for Jiang Mubai to wear.
Since Jiang An prepared it for her, Jiang Mubai didn't hesitate. After knowing that she was going to the Jiang family's old house, she packed a few things and brought them with her.
The clothes she brought had now been delivered to the room by the servants. Jiang Mubai planned to tidy them up after seeing them, and she planned to take out the clothes and hang them in the closet.
Jiang Mubai opened the closet and unexpectedly it was full of clothes. She took some out and found that the size was just right for her to wear now that she was pregnant. Jiang Mubai knew that this was also prepared by Jiang An for her. After all, no one else in the Jiang family's old house knew about her pregnancy except Jiang An.
Jiang An is indeed a good person. He said before that he would make up for the fatherly love that Jiang Mubai had been missing for so many years, and he has been working hard to do so. But if Jiang An could send Jiang Mubai to Cheng Yunchuan, then Jiang Mubai would think that Jiang An is a better father.
Although there were clothes in the closet, Jiang Mubai still hung up the clothes he brought. After doing this, Jiang Mubai became dazed.
She didn't know what she could do. She didn't want to go to the garden of the old house. If she went there again after what happened in the afternoon, the servants of the old house might gossip about her behind her back, saying that she was too careless and had the mood to go there after something like that happened.
Jiang Mubai didn't want to visit the main house. She was actually quite interested, but no one took her to see or introduce it. Plus, Jiang Mubai didn't want to run into Jiang Jinglan and Chen Qingyu, mother and daughter, so Jiang Mubai simply stayed in the room and didn't go out. With nothing to do, Jiang Mubai could only stare blankly in the room.
Being in a daze does not mean just staring at one place. Although Jiang Mubai was in a daze, she was still thinking about Cheng Yunchuan in her mind.
"I don't know what happened to them. They must be very worried after I went missing again. If Jiang An doesn't allow me to go back, he probably won't reveal the information about me to him. In that case, won't Yunchuan and the others have no clues at all like before?"
"Yunchuan can't be depressed again. In order to prevent them from worrying, I have to find a way to contact them as soon as possible. If this continues, the Jiang family will look down on Yunchuan, especially the words that Jiang An said to me before, which showed that he looked down on Yunchuan. The Jiang family is so wealthy and powerful, what can Yunchuan compare with them?"
Jiang Mubai thought about what Jiang An had said to her before. From what Jiang An said, he was very dissatisfied with Cheng Yunchuan's current situation, so Jiang An would not let Jiang Mubai go back easily.
"If Yunchuan can become stronger and satisfy him, then after seeing this, he will let me return to Yunchuan."
Jiang Mubai didn't know if this was possible, but she was willing to let Cheng Yunchuan try. Maybe when Jiang An saw that Cheng Yunchuan had become stronger, she would try to talk and act like a spoiled child in front of Jiang An. Jiang An blamed himself so much for his daughter. If Jiang Mubai took advantage of this, maybe she could really get Jiang An to agree to let her leave. It was the same when they lived in the mountains before. Jiang Mubai took advantage of Jiang An's guilt towards his daughter and was able to go back successfully.
