Zhuang's ancestral hall.
The carriage from the Zhuang Mansion has arrived, and various sacrifices have been placed on the sacred table.
Qin Wenzhao worked hard.
Even if this is his last job at the banker, he must do it meticulously.
Just like he tidied his room today, he should also leave with dignity.
The ancestor worship ceremony in the Zhuang Mansion cannot be said to be too grand. After all, the population of the Zhuang Mansion is not prosperous, but the sense of ritual is still very strong.
There is no missing step that should be taken.
First, an elderly man from the banker read a memorial sermon.
When the sacrificial inscriptions are finished and burned, the ancestor worship ceremony officially begins.
The banker's servants also stood on both sides devoutly, hoping in their hearts that the banker would have good weather so that they could have work and food at the banker.
There were even many tenants of the banker who came specially to attend the ceremony.
A bullock cart came in a hurry.
"I've caught up, Miss Second, I've caught up!" Village Chief Ma, who was driving a bullock cart, wiped his sweat and let out a long sigh.
Zhuang Xiaodie also jumped off the bullock cart and dusted himself off.
Then he walked towards the Zhuang family's ancestral hall with his head held high.
"Dad, am I not late?" She even shouted loudly.
Her appearance stunned everyone, except of course Zhuang Shaoyuan.
Qin Wenzhao almost blacked out and staggered at his feet.
A sense of danger also came to his mind, and he even wanted to escape from here immediately.
But his reason told him that at times like this, he should not panic.
Zhuang Shaoyuan nodded towards his daughter, "You have come back at the right time. Please offer some incense to your ancestors and let them protect you from any more disasters."
Zhuang Xiaodie also nodded seriously, lit a lot of incense, and placed it in front of the ancestral tablet.
"Dear ancestors of the banker, there are always some bad people who want to do harm to our banker and me. I sincerely hope that you can make those bad people die a good death!"
As she spoke, she kowtowed to the tablets several times seriously, and glanced at Qin Wenzhao intentionally or unintentionally.
Qin Wenzhao's heart skipped a beat, and his sense of danger became even stronger.
But if he runs away now, it doesn't mean he has admitted everything.
As long as you don't catch him in action, then everything has nothing to do with him.
Thinking of this, he became calmer.
Outside the ancestral hall.
Li Qian's carriage was already parked there.
"Did you see that Miss Zhuang Er has already entered? What kind of expression do you think Qin Wenzhao will have?" Li Qian asked Hu Mancang with a smile.
Hu Mancang just asked tremblingly, "Why do you know about our plan?"
He knew that he had no chance to escape, but he would not be able to rest in peace until he clarified some of the questions in his mind.
"Isn't this because your good nephew wants my life? Can't I know everything?" Li Qian said with a smile.
"But I told him that I wanted to take action today. Even I didn't know that Mr. Qin would take action last night. Why did you know?" Hu Mancang swallowed.
He never thought that Li Qian would suddenly appear in this matter.
The key is that this kid seems to know everything.
Li Qian touched his nose and said, "I guessed it."
"You, you guessed?" Hu Mancang's eyes widened again. It was really hard to understand why Li Qian could even guess such a thing.
"Some people think they are smart, and they will emit some smoke even to the people around them. In the name of it, they can catch them off guard, but their real purpose is to treat these people as scapegoats!"
Li Qi'an suppressed a smile, "So, whether it's you, Hou San, or the bandits from Black Wolf Village, they will all become his scapegoats in the end!"
"When things are done, it will actually be your death. If you want to enjoy glory and wealth, you will only go to the underworld to enjoy it!"
"No!" Hu Mancang shouted directly, "You are talking nonsense. Mr. Qin has already promised me, how can you kill me?"
To this day, he still admires Qin Wenzhao. Although the plan failed, it has nothing to do with Mr. Qin. It was because of the addition of the nosy brat Li Qian.
Li Qian laughed again, but the smile was full of sarcasm, "Look at you, you are still defending him like this. It shows how stupid you are. Think about it, why did he not leave the Zhuang Mansion with you as soon as possible, but instead If you still stay in Zhuang Mansion, he wants you to take the blame!"
"Once the matter is exposed, you will be the biggest mastermind! And if the matter is successful, he will definitely kill you in order to prevent the secret from being leaked!"
Hu Mancang was covered in cold sweat. Although he wanted to refute Li Qian, he could not find a reason to refute.
Because he felt that with Qin Wenzhao's scheming, it was really possible to do such a thing.
"So, you should thank me, I saved your life!"
Looking at Hu Mancang's expression, the corners of Li Qian's mouth rose slightly.
