Chapter 3049: Chapter 3050: Meng from the Ancestors

Ao Song hurried to her parents’ yard and told her mother about Bai Ruozhu’s plan.

"She and you are not suited to speak of this, leave it to me," Madam Zhong immediately agreed.

"Mother, do you trust Sister Ruozhu?" Ao Song asked with some concern.

Madam Zhong stroked her daughter’s head, "If I didn’t trust her, could I speak to you so calmly?"

Ao Song finally managed a smile, "But I feel father doesn’t trust Sister Ruozhu anymore."

"Your father has always respected your third grandpa, and was suddenly shocked by Third Clan Elder’s injury. Once he calms down and thinks it through, he’ll be on your side. Don’t mind that he’s been strict with you since childhood; just yesterday he told me he trusts your judgment, saying you’re the one he trained, and your judgment of people can’t be wrong," Madam Zhong said with a smile.

Ao Song felt warm inside, but also a bit ashamed, "Mother, I keep causing trouble for you, making you worry."

"Silly child, this time you were a victim too. As long as you’re safe, your father and I are already content," Madam Zhong’s eyes reddened, thinking of how her daughter almost died from backlash, she felt a wave of fear, and her gratitude towards the astrologer and Bai Ruozhu deepened.

Previously, when the astrologer was unconscious, she had been somewhat selfish for her daughter’s happiness; now she increasingly found this son-in-law commendable.

"Alright, I’ll go to them and say that the ancestors came to me in a dream, such things have happened before." Madam Zhong patted her daughter’s hand and went alone to the assembly hall.

Ao Song was a little uneasy, but it wasn’t proper to follow; the clan elders were very wary of her now.

In the assembly hall, Zhong Kui’s face was grim, "The doctor said Third Uncle’s hand can’t be healed, and in the future, it might..."

The Great Clan Elder sighed, "Ning Ran really is ruthless."

The Fifth Clan Elder angrily cursed, "That boy was a waste from birth, of no prospects throughout his life. What does he come back to cause trouble now? What’s he up to?"

"He can’t become the Patriarch, does he plan to raise one to replace the Zhong family?" Zhong Kui asked.

The other clan elders all nodded, thinking there was a good chance this was true.

He never asked for much before, probably because he was under a curse, unable to act. Now, having been reborn, his desires might differ.

At this moment, Madam Zhong arrived, greeted everyone, and said, "I just had some dimsum, and somehow fell asleep, dreaming of my deceased grandpa."

"A dream message? What did grandpa say?" Zhong Kui hurriedly asked.

"He reminded us to guard it well, especially the sealed parts, not to let outsiders take it," Madam Zhong said.

The sealed parts are the heart of Taisui; everyone’s face changed, suddenly connecting the dots.

"That traitor previously took its flesh but couldn’t cultivate it into form, so he still needs its heart!" Fourth Clan Elder exclaimed.

"No way, we must assign more people to guard it, not let him succeed!" Fifth Clan Elder agreed.

"Wait a moment!" Sixth Clan Elder suddenly shouted, the whole room fell silent, looking at him, confused.

He, however, stared intently at Madam Zhong, asking, "Are you sure this was truly an ancestor’s dream message, and not something someone told you?"

Madam Zhong’s heart skipped a beat, but she showed no sign, "Can I deceive you over such a significant issue? As the lady of the house, don’t I know what’s important?"

"Hmph, just afraid you’re biased towards your daughter who helps outsiders," Sixth Clan Elder said disgruntledly.
