Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 240 Ancestral Hall

At this moment, Su Yue was left alone in the huge ancestral hall, facing a large number of neatly arranged memorial tablets.

The memorial tablets stood there silently, exuding a mysterious and oppressive aura.

However, Su Yue was not afraid at all and casually sat down on the prayer mat.

She raised her head, her gaze fixed on the memorial tablets on the offering table.

Su Yue couldn't understand why someone like Lord Gu would complain to these memorial tablets.

Could it be that this memorial tablet holds some significance?

Thinking about this, Su Yue couldn't help but shake her head, feeling that her idea was rather ridiculous.

After a while, Su Yue seemed to suddenly remember something and abruptly stood up.

She picked up three incense sticks from the side, lit them, clasped her hands together, and respectfully bowed several times to the memorial tablet. She muttered, "Dear elders, I'm still just a child; I can't be frightened."

So if you really have any complaints, go and settle the score with that unfilial son!

He's gone too far! Coming here so late and disturbing your peace.

After doing all this, Su Yue carefully looked around and used her mental power to thoroughly sense her surroundings.

After confirming that no one else was around, she smiled slyly and quickly took out a jar of wine from her personal storage space.

Su Yue skillfully opened the lid of the wine jar, then poured the clear liquid into an empty bowl on the offering table, stopping only when the wine in the bowl was about to overflow.

"Look how filial I am to you all! Smell this wine! I'm not like that Lord Gu from before. He even hit me. Now that you've drunk my wine, you can't come looking for me anymore."

Let's go find him! We've already discussed it.

The morning sunlight streamed into the room through the window. Su Yue slowly woke up, rubbing her sleepy eyes, and realized where she was.

I stretched and went back to napping.

Dali woke up in the courtyard and realized that Su was not in the house.

"Where can we go so early in the morning?" Dali muttered.

She quickly dressed and went out to find Gu Yuan to ask about Su Yue's whereabouts.

After making some inquiries, Gu Yuan and Dali finally learned that Su Yue had been locked up in the ancestral hall by Lord Gu last night.

This news shocked him greatly. Without thinking twice, he rushed back to tell Lord Gu.

Lord Gu, who went to bed early, exchanged a solemn glance with the other man after hearing about the matter, and decided to go to the ancestral hall together to release Su Yue.

Along the way, Gu Yuan was extremely anxious, his steps hurried, wishing he could run to Su Yue's side immediately.

When the three arrived at the ancestral hall and opened the door, they saw a person kneeling properly on a prayer mat. It was Su Yue, who had been imprisoned there.

At this moment, Su Yue looked up and saw that her eyes were red and swollen and her face was covered with tears. When she saw Lord Gu, she felt as if she had found a lifeline and threw herself into the old man's arms and burst into tears.

"Grandfather, sob sob sob... Grandfather, please look at my arm!" Su Yue sobbed as she stretched out her arm.

Her fair skin was covered with shocking red marks, clearly indicating that she had been beaten.

Seeing this, Lord Gu felt heartbroken. He gently stroked Su Yue's hair and softly comforted her, "Alas! Such a heavy blow? That's too cruel!"

Don't be afraid, child. Grandpa will definitely get justice for you. It was just a short walk, why make such a fuss? Grandpa will take you out to play next time.”

As he spoke, he pulled Su Yue into a tight embrace and gently patted her back.

“Yes, Grandfather is the best! Come, Grandfather, let me help you back.” Su Yue said obediently, taking the arm of the old Marquis Gu.

The old man and the young boy, their faces beaming with happiness, left the ancestral hall together in a joyful atmosphere.

Along the way, the old Marquis Gu seemed to remember something and asked, "Yuan'er! Do you still have any peach blossom honey?"

Hearing this, Su Yue chuckled inwardly. She had a lot of peach blossom honey in her space, but she couldn't easily take it out at the moment.

So, she rolled her eyes and replied with a smile, "Grandfather, I don't have any peach blossom honey right now. But if you like, I'll send you some in a few days."

Upon hearing this, Old Marquis Gu nodded repeatedly with delight, saying, "Good, good, my dear grandson is so thoughtful!"

When Su Yue was about to leave, Old Marquis Gu insisted on giving her a large amount of tonics, saying that he wanted to help her recover.

Su Yue had no choice but to accept the gifts with great joy.

After leaving the courtyard of the old Marquis Gu, Su Yue turned to look at Gu Yuan and Dali who were following behind her, and then casually handed the tonics she was holding to Gu Yuan.

Then, she began to look around the Gu residence.

She hadn't had a proper chance to explore since arriving here, and now that she was restricted from leaving the mansion, this was a perfect opportunity to take a good look around.

Dali and Gu Yuan, carrying the tonics, followed closely behind her. The Gu residence had quite a few courtyards of all sizes.

As they walked, they arrived at the back garden. The garden was shaded by green trees and full of flowers. A crystal-clear stream flowed gently through it, spanned by a stone bridge, and there was an elegant pavilion beside the bridge.

"Young master, look! The fish here are huge!" Dali suddenly exclaimed excitedly, and quickly ran to the small bridge, leaned over and lay on the bridge, staring intently at the fish swimming in the water.

Upon hearing this, Su Yue curiously went over and looked in the direction Dali was pointing.

Sure enough, several large fish were swimming in the water under the bridge, each probably weighing three or four pounds.

However, because the fish were far away and there was sunlight, it was impossible to tell what kind of fish it was at first glance.

When Su Yue saw the fish swimming in the water from afar, her eyes lit up instantly, and she swallowed involuntarily. A strong appetite welled up in her heart; she wanted to eat grilled fish!

At this moment, Dali and she exchanged a glance, and then smiled knowingly at each other, understanding what the other was thinking.

Without a word, the strong man strode down the bridge and rushed towards the water to catch fish.

Su Yue, on the other hand, stood leisurely on the bridge, looking to see if anyone was there.

As for Gu Yuan, he was currently pacing back and forth, clutching a pile of tonics and looking anxious.

In the blink of an eye, Dali, with his agile movements, caught two large fish and lifted them up by their gills.

Seeing this, Su Yue excitedly waved to Dali, then pointed to the back of the pavilion not far away, indicating that they should go there to process the fish.

So the three of them quickly ran towards the pavilion.
