Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife-Chapter 1123: Grandpa, Where Are You? (5)

Actually, it was just the ancestral tablet cracking due to being dry over the years, a normal occurrence for ordinary households.

But the Gu Family was no ordinary family.

Old Master Gu couldn’t remember from which generation of Family Heads it started, but one of the Family Heads once met a strange fortune teller who said that if one day there was a problem with the Gu Family Ancestral Hall, then great disaster would befall the Gu Family. At best, there would be heavy casualties, at worst, the family line would end!

Such a curse was too cruel, and even though the Gu Family’s Family Heads didn’t believe it, they did not dare to speak lightly of it.

Old Master Gu still remembered the serious expression on his father Gu Yafeng’s face when he told him about it.

Gu Yafeng said, as long as the Gu Family Ancestral Hall remained intact, the Gu Family would stand firm.

Regardless of whether that statement was true or false, everyone in the Gu Family knew that the Ancestral Hall was unquestionably the most important part of the entire mansion!

However, now, under strict protection, Gu Yafeng’s spirit tablet had actually cracked!

"Uh... could it be that we are just too, too anxious?... Perhaps it’s just a coincidence? Besides, even if what the fortune teller said was accurate, he didn’t specify what kind of problem in the Ancestral Hall would lead to great disaster..."

Chen Fang forced a smile, but though her words were comforting, her tone sounded somewhat contrived.

This matter in the Ancestral Hall hung over the hearts of all the Gu Family members like a dark cloud.

Just as everyone was feeling uneasy, Old Master Gu, who had been silent and looking down, reverently placed the spirit tablet back in its original position.

"It’s just a legend, you need not worry too much. Today, it was only the spirit tablet that had a problem, not the Ancestral Hall."

Old Master Gu respectfully bowed three times to his ancestors, then stood straight and quietly looked at each of the names on the spirit tablet.

"Go back, everyone, go about your business."

Gu Weijun opened his mouth, hesitated for a long time, but did not speak.

He waved his hand, gave everyone a look, and took the lead in leaving.

After everyone had left, Old Master Gu, who had been staring at the spirit tablet, heaved a deep sigh of relief.

"Ah Zhong!"

Butler Ah Zhong, standing by the side, respectfully nodded, "Old Master, you say."

"When is Lao San coming back? Find a way to tell him to come back as soon as possible to help Girl Qing!"

"Alright. But Old Master..." Ah Zhong frowned slightly, pondering for a moment, "You mentioned about the Ancestral Hall..."

"Today’s incident is strange; the spirit tablet didn’t crack earlier or later, but precisely when all the An Family members disappeared, it’s hard not to associate these two incidents together."

Old Master Gu’s eyes shone brightly as he coldly watched the conspicuous crack on his father’s spirit tablet, his gaze deep.

...

At the An Family Mansion, it was already after seven in the evening, and the villa was brightly lit. None of the three siblings, An Yiqing and her brothers, felt like sleeping.

"Miss, the result is out!"

An Zhiyu slammed the table and put down the computer in her hand.

"How is it?"

"Luckily, you had brought a necklace with a tracking device for the lady, otherwise even I wouldn’t have found the location!"

Relief finally returned to An Yiqing’s heart which had been hanging. Right after she returned to the An Family Mansion, as Kong Shi was physically weak and that spy Aunt Zhang had not yet died, An Yiqing, to prevent her from harming the weakest Kong Shi and Old Lady An, had Gu Yelin make two necklaces with tracking devices for them.

Old Lady An was old and felt that wearing a necklace didn’t look good, so she stored it away. But Kong Shi always wore it carefully, never leaving it by her side.
