Chapter 101: Ancestral Worship

ly tonightFu Xiaoyao pondered as she turned the doorknob.Lu Hanchuan heard the noise and looked over at her, "You're back"Fu Xiaoyao nodded, "Hmm, you're up early today.""It's nothing, go take a showe..."Actually, there isn't much to do, but you should know some rules, Mrs. Tai." Aunt Song took off the apron from her waist.

Fu Xiaoyao looked at her, "Aunt Song, you tell me, Hanchuan asked me to ask you."

“I know, sir told me so.”

When

"Just as you were washing clothes, I took tea up to Mr. so-and-so, and he specifically instructed me to do so," Aunt Song replied with a smile.

Fu Xiaoyao narrowed her eyes in confusion, "Tea He wouldn't not drink tea, would he"

The tea in the villa was always prepared for the old man. Lu Hanchuan had never tasted it before.

Aunt Song shrugged, "I'm puzzled too. Mr. Li specially asked me to make tea, and I said I could make him coffee, but he wouldn't let me!"

Hearing this, Fu Xiaoyao immediately thought of something and smiled awkwardly, biting her nails. “I have a rough idea why...”

It's probably because of what she said during the day that affected Lu Hanchuan.

That's why he doesn't drink coffee.

"What's the reason" asked Auntie Song curiously.

Fu Xiaoyao smiled dryly, “Aunt Song, don't ask, I can't say. Just tell me the rules for ancestor worship, okay”

"Alright, Madam, listen carefully and remember. This is important." Auntie Song handed her the piece of paper where she had recorded her body measurements.

Fu Xiaoyao took it and opened the new page, stood up straight, and was ready to record at any time.

As Aunt Song gave a deeper explanation, she also had a better understanding of the Lu family.

She originally thought the Lu family was just a top-tier wealthy family with more power, but now she realized that the Lu family wasn't as simple as she had previously thought.

Before, she thought the only remaining people in the Lu family were her grandfather and Lu Hanzchuan, along with some distant relatives.

Only now did I realize that wasn't the case. The entire Lu family had over a hundred people, but those weren't the main members of the Lu family, they were all from various branches and lineages.

The Lu family only has the Lu Hanchuan branch!

"So, Grandpa is the head of the Lu family" Fu Xiaoyao was astonished.

Aunt Song nodded, "That's right, the master is the chieftain. When the master is gone, the chieftain will be Mr., and Madam, you will be the chieftain's wife!"

"Chief's wife..." Fu Xiaoyao was stunned by the title.

She had never imagined she would be so lucky. She was born into an ordinary family and was not favored by her parents since she was a child. She thought she was miserable.

But she never imagined that after growing up, she would marry Lu Hanchuan and join the top-tier Lu family.

She thought, she wasn't actually pitiful. She was luckier than most people. She had always been on her own since she first stepped into that door to choose a bride!

"But Mrs. Fu," Aunt Song looked at Xiao Yao.

Fu XiaoYao blinked, "What's wrong"

"Since Mr. Li brought you to pay respects to his ancestors this time, it means you'll meet the people from the Lu family. Those people might make things difficult for you at that time. You must stay calm." Aunt Song was a little worried.

Fu Xiaoyao's heart pounded with nervousness. "Difficult"

"Indeed, many men from the collateral branches of the Lu family, those who have attained the rank of five garments, wished to marry their daughters to you. Now that you have taken the position of mistress in the Lu household, they will surely be discontent."

"Well... how could they possibly make things difficult for me" Fu Xiaoyao bit her nails, a touch of worry in her voice.

Aunt Song shook her head, “I don’t know about that. But when the time comes, just stay in the rest room. Except for the ancestor worship ceremony, you shouldn't go out.”

"Okay, I remember," Fu Xiaoyao replied.

Aunt Song added some more reminders, then let her go upstairs to rest.

Fu Xiaoyao couldn't sleep at all. She lay in bed silently reciting the content she had recorded.

Lu Hanchuan came back from work and saw her with a troubled face, muttering to herself constantly.

"What are you doing" he asked, tugging at his tie.

Fu Xiaoyao sat up, "I'm making a note of the things to pay attention to when commemorating ancestors."

"What matters need you to memorize so hard" Lu Hanchuan threw down his tie.

If she hadn't told him herself, he would have thought she was preparing for the college entrance exam.

"These." Fu Xiaoyao waved the notebook in her hand.

Lu Hanchuan raised an eyebrow, "Show me."

"Here you go." Fu Xiaoyao passed it over with a smile.

Lu Hanchuan took it and looked at it, his eyebrows raising slightly.

How could he not know there were so many rules

"Han Chuan, what's wrong" Seeing Lu Han Chuan's subtle expression, Fu Xiao Yao thought something was amiss and cautiously asked.

Lu Hanchuan pointed at the notebook, "These are all that Aunt Song told you"

"Hmm."

"Give me the pen!" he reached out his hand.

Fu Xiaoyao politely handed him a pen.

After receiving it, he crossed out a few lines of content in the notebook.

“These are all useless, Aunt Song’s rules are right, but you’re different, you’re my wife, the mistress of the Lu family. You don’t have to be so strict, except during ancestor worship when you need to be more formal, other times you can do as you please.” Lu Hanchuan gave Fu Xiaoyao back the edited notes.

>

"If you want to do it this way, I don't object." Lu Hanchuan took off his coat and replied in a calm voice.

"I'd better pass, then."

She was afraid of not performing well, which is why she wanted to memorize these rules.

Since she said she didn't need it, she would comply.

If I remember it now, it's fine. The tension makes me forget, wouldn't that be even more embarrassing!

"Apart from these, did Aunt Song tell you anything else" Lu Hanchuan was unbuttoning his shirt.

Fu Xiaoyao softly hummed, "Yes."

What did you say

After talking about the other branches of the Lu family and how they might give me trouble, Hanchuan, is that true

Lu Hanchuan narrowed his eyes, "It's true, those collateral branches have always wanted to replace my main line. If they can't replace it, they want to develop in-law relationships. So they might not be friendly to you, but you don't have to mind them."

"Aunt Song also said the same thing, telling me to stay in the resting room when the time comes. She said not to go out if I can help it. But I'm worried they might come looking for me, and what if you're not by my side at that time…" Fu Xiaoyao twisted her fingers nervously.

Lu Hanchuan tapped her head.

"Ouch!" She covered her head, looking at him with aggrieved eyes, "Kanzawa, what did you do"

"Are you stupid" Lu Hanchuan glared at her coldly.

"Where did I go wrong"

"You're stupid everywhere. If they really came to the door, didn't you know to call me Or could you have just had someone drive them away!" Lu Hanchuan said with thin lips slightly open.

Fu Xiaoyao was taken aback. "Chase them away Can we"

“You’re from the main branch, they’re just side branches. In terms of status, you’re more noble than them. And your grandfather is the clan leader. As his granddaughter-in-law, you have the right to have them driven away. Show your strength as the mistress of the main house, don't be so weak or you'll bring shame upon your grandfather.” After Lu Hánchuan finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the bathroom.

Fu Xiaoyao watched his back and suddenly understood a lot. She made her hands into a trumpet shape and shouted at him, “I understand now, Hanchuan, thank you for your guidance, I won't let grandpa and you down!”

Lu Hanchuan hesitated for a moment, "Then I look forward to it!"

"You won't be disappointed!" Fu Xiaoyao put down her hand.

Lu Hanchuan responded with a sound and closed the bathroom door.

Fu Xiaoyao smiled faintly, her ever-anxious heart finally calmed down at this moment.

He was right, she is his wife now, the young mistress of the Lu family's main branch. She doesn't have to be afraid of any difficulties from the collateral branches.

She also represented the family and her grandfather and Kankawa. If she were afraid, it would truly be a shame on them both.

So for her grandfather and Kanagawa, she absolutely could not show a weak and vulnerable side.

Thinking of this, Fu Xiaoyao picked up the phone on the bedside table and made a call.e couldn't help but be stunned."Big brother, this is..."The man glared at him, warningly. "Don't ask what you shouldn't, let's go collect our reward."As soon as he heard the word "bonus", Fu Zixuan's...
