The Young Matriarch-Chapter 328 - : So it must have been listed in the Bai Family genealogy, right?
Chapter 328: Chapter 328: So it must have been listed in the Bai Family genealogy, right?
Bai Guofu had long heard that the ancient ancestors were particularly kind to exam candidates, and it seemed this saying was no exaggeration.
After thinking it over, Bai Guofu said, “Ancestors, how about we do this? Let Bai Yinyin go to the ancestral hall and kneel for a whole night, will that do?”
Bai Yinyin couldn’t believe it, “Grandfather, you want me to kneel in the ancestral hall for a whole night? Don’t you know I’m about to take the college entrance exam?”
That dilapidated place, with its mosquitoes aplenty and hard floor tiles, without even a spot to sleep — she had to kneel there all night?
Her grandfather must have been hexed by Bai Chuwei.

Bai Guofu rebuked her with frustration, “You should be grateful you’re about to take the college entrance exam! Bai Yinyin, get yourself to the ancestral hall and kneel! I don’t want to repeat myself.”
...
Bai Yinyin shivered with fright, glared at Bai Chuwei, and walked in the direction of the ancestral hall, looking back one last time when she reached the doorway.
Her grandfather was fawning over Bai Chuwei, acting like a lackey; was this the behavior befitting the patriarch of the Bai Family? More like a henchman!
Bai Chuwei stroked Bai Guofu’s full head of white hair with a meaningful smile, “Xiaofu, I said after the college entrance exam, I’ll settle the score with Bai Yinyin.
With that, Bai Chuwei strode away.
Bai Guofu stood there, smiling wryly with resignation, knowing the ancestor had already shown considerable face.
Liu Man was furious on the side, “You’re really making Yinyin kneel in the ancestral hall? There isn’t even a pillow there…”
Bai Guofu said irritably, “Do you think I’m sending Bai Yinyin to the ancestral hall for a vacation? Have her kneel and reflect properly!”
Bai Hongguang couldn’t help interjecting, “Dad, but Yinyin has to take her college entrance exam in two days. If this affects her state of mind…”
Bai Guofu scoffed, “She has thick skin; it won’t affect her! I advise you all to worry about how you’ll beg for forgiveness from the ancestor after the exam!”
He was unable to save this generation anymore; no matter how much he explained that it was their ancestor, the Bai Family’s forebear, they wouldn’t believe him. Instead, they thought he was senile or had been cursed by Bai Chuwei.
Let them be.
Frustrated, Bai Guofu swept out of the room, leaving everyone present utterly dumbfounded.
The old master had given the order personally: no food, no drinks, no cool blankets, and not even a dish of mosquito-repelling incense.
Her mother, Liu Man, was too busy dealing with Bai Hongguang and the mistress, Chen Xiaomiao, and disillusioned with her, she didn’t even bother to send anything over.
Bai Yinyin knelt on the meditation cushion, looking at the spirit tablets of the Bai Family ancestors with profound grief and anger — they had really made her kneel in the ancestral hall.
With more mosquitoes in the ancestral hall, Bai Yinyin was bitten by seven or eight in a short period, scratching incessantly, which only made the itching worse.
When had Bai Yinyin ever endured such inhumane treatment?
Swatting at the mosquitoes, Bai Yinyin yelled indignantly, “What for, huh? Why should I kneel in the ancestral hall? Why doesn’t Bai Chuwei kneel?”
The silent ancestral hall offered nothing but the smell of burning incense and oil lamps.
No one would respond to her.
Bai Yinyin was unwilling to accept this, was she really going to kneel all night?
Muttering under her breath, Bai Yinyin said, “Ancestors… ancestors… Grandfather, can’t you say anything besides ‘ancestors’? Once my exams are over, I’ll find a master to have a look at you, to lift your hex!”
Suddenly, something flashed through Bai Yinyin’s mind.
The family genealogy.
The Bai Family’s genealogy!
You claim to be an ancestor of the Bai Family, huh?
Fine then, you must be in the Bai Family genealogy, aren’t you?
If not, then you’re definitely under a curse.
Bai Yinyin finally had something to do and immediately rose from the meditation cushion, rubbing her knees as she walked towards where the family genealogy was kept in the ancestral hall…
