Are these the only people here to worship the ancestors? Tan Ron had thought that her uncles and aunties would come as well. She didn’t expect that it would only be her family and the adults. Tao Qi, that little fellow, didn’t come either.
When Grandpa Tao saw Tan Rou, he smiled and said, “Welcome home, Rourou!””
“Grandpa, I’m back.” Tan Rou smiled and stepped forward respectfully.
Grandpa Tao said, “Come in and meet your ancestors.”
“Am I going in alone?” Tan Rou asked curiously.
Grandpa Tao didn’t answer directly. Instead, he said, “Let’s burn some incense first. We’ll talk about the rest later.”
Tan Rou had nothing to be afraid of. She believed that her grandfather would not harm her.
Grandpa Tao brought Tan Rou and the others into the old residence. The scent of sandalwood lingered in the air, as if they were in a temple. This place was very quiet and very suitable for cultivation. Moreover, the environment outside was very elegant. It was a good place to live in seclusion.
Tan Rou took the three incense sticks from her grandfather and bowed to the rows of memorial tablets in front of her. After paying her respects, she inserted the incense into the incense burner.
At this time, Grandpa Tao said to Tan Rou, “Come along with me.”
Tan Rou followed him to a dusty door. This door seemed to have not been opened for many years because there was a lot of dust on the door and in the gap. She felt that with the Tao family’s financial strength, they would never make such a low-level mistake. The only explanation was that there was something precious hidden here.
“Dad, are we really going to let Rourou in?” Mr. Tao asked worriedly.
Grandpa Tao sighed and said, “This thing has been in our Tao family for so many years. It has never been of much use. Moreover, there are too few girls in our Tao family. Now, we have to seize this opportunity.”
“What is it?” Tan Rou asked.
Grandpa Tao said, “You’ll know when you go in and take a look.”
Father Tao said, “Xiao Rou, go in and take a look. You might find something new.”
Tan Rou didn’t ask what was inside anymore. She opened the door and went in. The door was very old, just like the mechanism door in the ancient tomb. If Grandpa Tao hadn’t told her where the mechanism was, she might not have been able to find it.
The door slowly opened. It was about five to six square meters. There was no light in the room, but there was a stone half the height of a person in the middle. The stone was emitting a dark light, like a luminous stone.
At first, Tan Rou thought it was a piece of jade, but when she got closer, she realized that it was just a glowing white stone. Moreover, this stone seemed to have magic power that kept attracting her to it.
Grandpa Tao said before closing the door, “Put your hand on it.”
Tan Rou hesitated for a moment, but she still put her hand on it, but she couldn’t take it off.
Suddenly, a series of memories entered Tan Rou’s mind. They were not memories of this life, but things that Tan Rou had experienced but did not know about in her previous life.
Recently, she had been curious about why her family had such a miserable life despite having such a powerful background. So it was because of her. She trusted the bad guys easily and unknowingly caused many of the Tao family’s secrets to be stolen. In the end, her family died tragically.
When the memories were over, Tan Rou could finally take her hand away. She stood in front of the rock for ten minutes, tears streaming down her face. Her heart throbbed in pain, as if a piece had been dug out.
After she calmed down, she adjusted her expression and tried not to let others see that she had cried. Moreover, when she cried, she was different from others. She would not scream hysterically, but would only cry silently.
After leaving the house, Tan Rou’s expression was calm. After all, she couldn’t easily tell others what she saw in the stone. Although the people in front of her were her family, she was afraid of scaring them, so she didn’t say it now. She would tell them when the time was right.
“Rourou, did you see anything in the stone?” Grandpa Tao asked urgently.
Tan Rou looked at his expression as if he was in a hurry to know something. Moreover, he had just mentioned that there were fewer girls in the Tao family these years. Coupled with the situation she had just seen, she felt that something was wrong.
“No, I didn’t see anything inside.” Tan Rou said calmly.
Grandpa Tao was instantly very disappointed.. “Did you really not see anything?”
