Aunt Luo was a little hesitant, always feeling that there was something in Shi Qingxue's words, but she couldn't figure out what the problem was, so she just nodded and said categorically: "Yes! I saw with my own eyes that the altar of the ancestral hall was burned.
If the old slave says anything that is false, I will be struck by lightning and die a good death! "
Having said such a vicious oath, it was hard not to move people. Almost everyone present believed what Grandma Luo said.
Qingxue looked into the ancestral hall in surprise at this moment, "Huh? But the room in the ancestral hall is not on fire at all?!"
"This is impossible!" This time, let alone Aunt Luo, even Shi Juncai was surprised!
"If grandma doesn't mind, you can tell the truth once you enter the house." Shi Qingxue did not argue with them at all and spoke directly to the facts.
Mo Shujun was thinking about the memorial tablet in the house, so she strode straight inside after hearing the sound, not even paying attention to her youngest son's shout.
Entering the once-burned wooden house was really not a wise choice. Dong Hui secretly pulled Shi Qingxue's sleeves and reminded in a low voice: "If the beams in the house collapse and your grandmother is injured, the people in the third room will still be injured. Isn’t it going to turn upside down?”
"It'll be okay, don't worry." Shi Qingxue couldn't explain clearly, so she could only pat Dong Hui's hand gently, and went in first while those in the third room watched the excitement.
Everyone followed into the house one after another, but the next moment they were shocked by the scene in the house: the lights in the ancestral hall were dim and yellow, sandalwood incense was lingering, and Shi Lei's tablet was enshrined in the main seat. Everything was safe and sound.
"How could it be?" Mo Shujun breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the scene in the room, but then she looked at Shi Qingxue in surprise.
The outside was burned to rubble, why was there nothing happening inside
Shi Qingxue's expression did not change, but she turned to ask Aunt Luo: "I'm also curious, how did Aunt Luo see the fire in the house with her own eyes?"
"This is impossible, I obviously yelled..." Grandma Luo shouted in shock, and then shut her mouth suddenly, trying to pretend that she had never said anything.
Shi Qingxue then asked: "What do you know? Just now you said you saw the ancestral hall on fire with your own eyes. Now that the ancestral hall is intact, how do you explain it?"
Grandma Luo's old face turned pale, but she still insisted: "I really saw the fire in the ancestral hall. How could it become like this? I really didn't know about it. If Liu Niang didn't believe it, how could it have happened?" But if you find someone else, you can tell by asking."
"Qingxue, if you keep asking questions like this, are you trying to give in?" Shi Juncai suddenly interrupted at this time.
He asked pointedly: "Besides, if a normal person sees that the ancestral hall yard is on fire, they must think that the back room is also on fire. How do you know that there is no fire in the room? I'm afraid this is a bit unusual, right?"
This statement clearly accused Shi Qingxue of deliberately setting a trap to frame Grandma Luo.
Shi Qingxue didn't feel panic at all. She met Mo Shujun's puzzled eyes and slowly told the whole story: "Today is my grandmother's birthday party. Qingxue remembered that my grandfather used to get up early in the morning to worship the gods at this time in the past, so that the gods would bless my grandmother. Ankang. But her mother asked Qingxue to go ahead to meet the guests, so Qingxue had no choice but to ask her maids Xia Mang and Dong Shuang to come first to offer incense for Qingxue, "
Mo Shujun obviously also thought of Shi Lei's habit, and her expression softened a little. She no longer doubted it and listened to Qingxue continue.
"Xia Mang and Dong Shuang went into the house to offer incense, but they saw three people sneaking into the ancestral hall and setting fire to it. They captured the three people and tortured them before they found out that it was Grandma Deluo who ordered them to do the evil. But when Xia Mang reported to me At that time, Grandma Luo had already set fire outside the yard, so I asked them to protect the ancestral hall first, and at the same time, I planned a plan to catch this evil thief!"
After saying that, Shi Qingxue curled her lips and said to Shi Juncai calmly: "If Third Uncle still doesn't believe it, you can ask Grandma Luo about those three 'witnesses' in person."
She raised her hand, and Xia Mang Dongshuang, who had been hiding in the dark, came out pressing the three people.
The three servants did not bother to defend themselves anymore. They knelt down in front of Mo Shujun and told them all about how Grandma Luo used money to induce them to burn down the ancestral hall and frame Dong Hui.
"Mama Luo, now you still dare to say that it wasn't you who wantonly disrupted my grandmother's birthday party and slandered my mother?!"
Shi Qingxue changed the subject and pointed the finger directly at Grandma Luo. She was so frightened that she fell to the ground and tremblingly begged for mercy: "Liu Niang, please forgive me. This old slave is just a servant. These are all three..."
